Somewhere in the middle of Trailer 2 the game cuts to a TV ad for a gun store. Loud, cheap, very Florida. I laughed the first time, and the second time I paused it, because a commercial for a gun shop means there is a gun shop. That is the whole question of this page: not which guns exist (that list lives on the weapons page), but what you should actually pick up first in GTA 6 and where you will get it.
Where guns come from in GTA 6 today
Some of your arsenal shows up before you fire a single shot. The Ultimate Edition puts the matching Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers and engraved versions of Jason’s and Lucia’s pistols in your hands from the start, and the Vintage Vice City Pack, which comes with every pre-order, adds the palm-tree weapon pattern. Both edition garages, Shore Court and Paradise, come with a weapon locker, so a home base for your guns is there on day one too. The details of those garages are on the safehouses page.
Then there is the street. In An Extended Look guns get picked up off the floor mid-fight, and some civilians carry weapons and start trouble on their own. Every armed enemy is a supplier, in other words. The Ultimate Edition also lists a raid on the PTT Youngin$ compound in Southside, and a gang compound in a Rockstar game has never been a place you leave empty-handed.
The Ammu-Nation pattern
GTA V had a simple rule, and I expect GTA 6 to follow it. Ammu-Nation was a chain: a store in almost every part of the map, a couple of them with a shooting range out back. The shelf grew with the story, so the good rifles stayed locked until the plot let you near them. Attachments, scopes, extended magazines and paint tints were all bought at the counter. On top of that, free weapons lay around the map for anyone who knew where to look, and Red Dead Redemption 2 later added gunsmiths with engraving and upkeep.
The engraved edition pistols hint that GTA 6 keeps a personal touch like that. Expect a chain store in Vice City and smaller shops in the towns around it, with prices that rise faster than your bank balance in the first hours. Whether it’s still called Ammu-Nation, the trailers haven’t said yet, and the Trailer 2 ad is too short to read a logo off.
What to grab first
My plan for the first evening is boring, and I think it’s the right one. A pistol first, because in stealth you carry two concealed pistols and the world reacts to what’s in your hands; a holstered pistol lets you walk into a shop without starting a panic. Then one long gun for chases and robberies, and a spare in the trunk, the way the showcase suggests. Shots to the arms and legs put enemies down alive now, so accuracy pays more than fire rate. A grenade launcher looks amazing in Trailer 2. It is also the fastest way to collect stars, and early on you can’t afford them.

FAQ
Where can you buy guns in GTA 6?
Trailer 2 shows an in-game TV commercial for a gun store, so there’s at least one shop. Expect the GTA V model: a chain of stores across the map, with stock unlocking as the story moves on.
Is Ammu-Nation in GTA 6?
The name hasn’t appeared on screen yet. Ammu-Nation has been in every 3D-era GTA, and the gun shop ad in Trailer 2 points the same way.
What is the best weapon to get first in GTA 6?
A pistol you can conceal, then one long gun for chases. Stealth lets you hide two pistols, and NPCs react to what’s in your hands, so a quiet loadout opens more doors early on.
Which weapons do you start GTA 6 with?
Ultimate Edition owners get the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers and engraved pistols for Jason and Lucia. Every pre-order gets the Vintage Vice City Pack weapon pattern. Everything else comes from shops and the street.
