GTA 6 Heavy Weapons Guide: The RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade)
Welcome to the most comprehensive
ViceHarbor.com weapons database. As we catalog every piece of confirmed equipment for
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), we finally arrive at the undisputed king of destruction: the
RPG. When exploring the expansive Leonida state, encountering heavily armored police units or rival gang convoys is inevitable. This heavy weapon is your ultimate solution for extreme threats across the Vice City map.
Weapon Overview & GTA 6 Lore
Officially confirmed as a returning classic GTA weapon, the in-game description captures its essence perfectly:
"The great equalizer. When you absolutely need to destroy everything in that general direction." The RPG is not about subtlety; it is about sheer, undeniable force and massive area denial.
In-Game Statistics & Combat Strategy
Handling a heavy weapon in GTA VI requires a tactical approach, as its immense power comes with severe mobility trade-offs. Here is the full breakdown of the RPG statistics:
- Damage (100/100): Maximum damage output. It offers guaranteed obliteration of infantry and most vehicles upon a direct hit.
- Fire Rate (5/100): Exceptionally low. Firing a single rocket means you are vulnerable during the long reload animation.
- Accuracy (50/100): Moderate accuracy. Rockets can veer off course over long distances, so aim carefully.
- Range (85/100): Excellent range, allowing you to take down police helicopters or fleeing targets from afar.
- Mobility (30/100): Extremely heavy. Sprinting, taking cover, and vaulting will be heavily restricted while this weapon is drawn.
- Magazine Size & Ammo: Holds 1 round in the chamber.
- Fire Modes: Single Shot.
Special Features & Real-World Inspiration
Unlike standard firearms, the RPG comes with unique tactical advantages built into its design:
- Explosive & Area Damage: The blast radius can eliminate multiple targets grouped together in narrow alleyways or confined spaces.
- Vehicle Destroyer: The premier choice for taking out armored vans, boats, and aircraft blocking your escape routes.
Rockstar Games bases this iconic launcher on the real-world
RPG-7. Known globally as a rugged, shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon, the RPG-7 is famous for its distinct shape and devastating payload, making it a perfect fit for the chaotic open-world environment of GTA 6.
