The crew’s ambitions grow as Act II begins.
The GTA 6 Rising Tides mission opens Act II by showing Jason and Lucia’s ambitions growing beyond simple survival, as they start eyeing bigger scores across Leonida. It sets the tone for the expanded map and higher-stakes jobs that define the middle portion of the campaign.
You will travel outside Vice City proper for the first time in the story, getting an early look at the Port Gellhorn area while running a job that tests the new contacts made in Vice Connections. Expect a blend of driving, light combat and a few dialogue choices that shape crew relationships going forward.
Completing Rising Tides rewards a solid cash payout and unlocks travel to the wider Leonida map. It also opens Port Gellhorn Job Prep, setting up one of Act II’s major heist sequences.
