How the 6-star wanted level works — police remember your face, clothes, and car.
GTA 6 brings back the 6-star wanted level system with the most sophisticated police AI in the series.
Wanted Levels
- 1 Star: Police investigate — you can talk your way out
- 2 Stars: Police pursue — they'll chase on foot or in vehicles
- 3 Stars: Police use roadblocks — need climbing/parkour to escape
- 4 Stars: SWAT teams deploy with armored vehicles
- 5 Stars: Helicopters and spike strips — go off-road to escape
- 6 Stars: Full military response — tanks, helicopters, everything
Evading Police
- Masks: Prevent face identification at low wanted levels
- Clothing Change: Switch outfits to reduce recognition
- Car Switch: Abandon your car and steal a new one
- Paint Shop: Change vehicle color to avoid detection
- Hide: Wait in a hidden location until the heat dies down
