5 things that should be re-added to the GTA 6 gameplay

1) Six-star wanted level

Rockstar should consider bringing back the six-star wanted level in GTA 6. The current game only spawns law enforcement up to level five. Moreover, it is fairly easy to evade the cops compared to older titles in the Grand Theft Auto series. Fans enjoyed the six-star wanted-level system in the following games:

• Grand Theft Auto 3
• GTA Vice City
• GTA San Andreas
• Grand Theft Auto 4 and its DLC episodes

Thus, the studio should add one more wanted level in the upcoming title so that daring players can challenge the law enforcement mechanism. It goes without saying that beating a six-star wanted level is more difficult than a five-star wanted level.

2) Dating system

Rockstar Games introduced the dating system in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and brought it back in Grand Theft Auto 4. However, it is not available in Grand Theft Auto 5, which is quite disappointing.

The dating system from San Andreas should return to GTA 6 with more mini-games and other improvements. Being able to pamper your in-game partner with gifts and dates will be a nice addition. Lucia and Jason should be allowed to go out with other NPCs using dating websites or by making a direct approach.

3) Story Mode DLCs

GTA 6 having Story Mode DLCs after its release is arguably one of the most demanded features within the Grand Theft Auto playerbase. Rockstar Games has only released the following singleplayer expansions to date:

• Undead Nightmare (Red Dead Redemption)
• The Lost and Damned (Grand Theft Auto 4)
• The Ballad of Gay Tony (Grand Theft Auto 4)

GTA 5 not having a story DLC even after 11 years has been largely disappointing. Thus, the upcoming title should consider releasing a handful of DLC expansions and adding new features in GTA 6.

4) More cheat codes

Rockstar Games significantly reduced the number of cheat codes in HD Universe GTA games. The earlier titles have a long list of cheats that allow players to tweak the game as they see fit. These are the number of cheat codes in some of the most popular titles:

• Grand Theft Auto 3: 23
• Grand Theft Auto Vice City: 60
• Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: 90
• Grand Theft Auto 4: 16
• Grand Theft Auto 5: 34

Cheat codes are an important part of the Grand Theft Auto experience and Rockstar Games should consider adding more cheats in GTA 6.

5) QoL improving missions

Rockstar Games should bring back the following side missions in Grand Theft Auto 6 with the said benefits:

• Vigilante: Increase armor capacity
• Paramedic: Increase health capacity
• Firefighter: Become immune to fire
• Taxi Driver: Free taxi fares or special vehicle perks

These side missions were very prominent in 3D Universe Grand Theft Auto titles, with players using them to gain special abilities. The upcoming gameplay should also include them so that gamers can do other things besides going through the story missions.
