Master the Focus ability — slow-motion targeting for precision combat, similar to Dead Eye.
The Focus ability is GTA 6's version of Red Dead Redemption 2's Dead Eye. It slows down time, allowing you to precisely target enemies in combat.
How to Use Focus
- Activate with a button press (likely L3 + R3 or dedicated button)
- Time slows down while you aim
- Mark targets for rapid sequential shots
- Focus meter depletes while active — recharge by taking cover or avoiding damage
Best Uses
- Multi-enemy encounters — take out 3-4 targets before they react
- Vehicle chases — shoot drivers with precision
- Stealth missions — silent headshots from distance
- Boss fights — target weak points quickly
Focus is particularly useful when combined with the enhanced cover system and the new stamina meter.
