5 ways to redefine the GTA 6 gameplay with weight mechanics

1) Adding a new mini-game

If the GTA 6 gameplay includes the weight mechanics, then we will also get to enjoy the gym mini-game again. Fans have been asking for this feature to return for a long time, and the second trailer teased a positive notion.

Jason and Lucia should be able to exercise in the gym and change their body weight and shape accordingly.

2) Impact on stamina

The weight mechanics should also have an impact on Jason and Lucia’s stamina. If the characters are overweight, they should not be able to sprint for long and get tired easily. On the other hand, if the protagonists are fit and healthy, they should be able to run for a while before getting tired.

This will surely make the GTA 6 gameplay more interesting and unique for everyone. Rockstar should also make stamina have an impact on mission outcomes.

3) Impact on strength during a melee fight

The GTA 6 gameplay is expected to have plenty of melee fights, and the weight mechanics should have an impact on the outcome. If Jason and Lucia have more body fat, then they should be weaker at fighting compared to normal mode. However, if they are well-trained at the gym, the protagonists should be able to fight more efficiently.

Such RPG elements will make the GTA 6 gameplay unique from other titles in the Grand Theft Auto series.

4) NPCs reacting to the physique

NPCs in Red Dead Redemption 2 react to how Arthur Morgan lives, and it is a unique experience every time. This feature should be added to the GTA 6 gameplay as well. The pedestrians and friends of Jason and Lucia should react and comment on their physical appearance.

Rockstar Games should bring back its classic homur style and troll the protagonists for being overweight or too skinny, through NPCs. They should also praise the protagonist duo for maintaining good health.

5) Getting in and out of vehicles

One of the funniest things Rockstar can do in the GTA 6 gameplay is to make it difficult for the protagonist to get in and out of vehicles while being overweight. The game is expected to have realistic physics, and this will add a cherry on top.

Along with the vehicles, it should also be difficult for Jason and Lucia to go through narrow passages and crowds while being fat.
