The AR-15 is a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle in GTA 6, modeled closely after military-style rifles like the M16.
This rifle is first seen in Trailer 1, used by a squad of Leonida law enforcement officers during a raid. The appearance suggests that police may deploy high-powered rifles like the AR-15 at higher Wanted levels or when facing especially dangerous criminals.
Interestingly, in the body cam footage shown, only one of the four police officers is carrying the AR-15. This indicates that it’s not the standard weapon for most officers, likely reserved for more serious situations.
The AR‑15 Variant signals stronger police firepower in GTA 6, hinting at more advanced law enforcement AI and tactical encounters.
Players should expect heavier resistance when the police bring out these rifles at higher Wanted levels. The rifle also seems to allow customization with attachments and magazines, making it a versatile choice in combat scenarios.
