Optimal weapon combinations for every heist role — gunman, driver, hacker — with upgrade priorities. The Hawk & Little Revolver paired with a Combat MG Mk II covers both stealth and breach scenarios; see the full Weapons Database for detailed stats.
Choosing the best weapon loadout for heists in GTA 6 depends heavily on your assigned role and whether you are planning a stealth or loud approach. Gunmen should prioritize a suppressed primary alongside a hard-hitting secondary for when things go loud, while hackers and drivers benefit more from compact, easily concealed weapons.
For stealth-focused heists, the suppressed Hawk & Little Revolver pairs well with a suppressed SMG, letting you deal with isolated guards quietly before an alarm can be triggered. Once a heist goes loud, swapping to a Combat MG Mk II or shotgun ensures you can push through security fast enough to reach the escape vehicle before backup arrives.
Don’t overlook armor and throwables when building your loadout — heavy armor combined with a couple of flashbangs can turn a botched stealth attempt into a manageable firefight rather than a failed heist. Upgrading weapon attachments like extended mags and improved scopes at the gunsmith before a big job is one of the most overlooked ways to improve your odds during the final heist execution.
