5 AI mistakes from past GTA games that Rockstar should improve in GTA 6

We all love the chaos of Grand Theft Auto. But even with all the mind-blowing graphics and epic shootouts, one thing that's
always
held GTA back just a little? The AI. From clueless NPCs to overpowered cops, the artificial intelligence in past GTA games has made us laugh, rage, and question reality (in the worst ways).
As we gear up for GTA 6 and its next-gen world in Leonida, it's time Rockstar leaves these 5 AI fails in the past, for good.
1. Cops with Aimbot Energy
If you've ever been gunned down from 200 feet away with
pinpoint precision
by a random beat cop, you know the pain. GTA 5's police had literal
Terminator aim
. It made low-level wanted stars feel like you were taking on a SWAT army. In GTA 6, we need the cops to chill. Give them skill levels. Make their accuracy more human.
If we're getting hunted, let it be intense — but not unfair.
The Weridest Npcs In GTA 5
2. Brain-Dead Pedestrians
Why do civilians always walk into gunfights like they've got a death wish? GTA's NPCs will straight-up stroll through explosions or sprint into traffic to escape… you guessed it, traffic. We want smarter, reactive NPCs in GTA 6. Let them hide, call the cops, scream for help — not just run around like confused Sims.
3. Clueless Teammates in Heists
Ever played a GTA Online heist and had an AI teammate stand in open fire or crash the getaway car? Yeah, not fun. If GTA 6 includes co-op missions or AI partners, they
need
to have survival instincts.
Cover properly. Drive like they passed high school. Don't blow the whole mission because they couldn't dodge a lamppost.
4. One-Star Chaos Syndrome
In past games, stealing a car in the middle of nowhere somehow gets you a 5-second response time from law enforcement. Seriously, who's calling the cops? The squirrels? In GTA 6, wanted levels need logic. Not every crime should summon the feds. Let it depend on where you are, what you did, and who saw you.
Why Is GTA 5 Traffic So Bad?
5. Dumb Traffic AI
NPC drivers in GTA have one goal: to ruin your life. They'll swerve into you, stop randomly, or block your escape when you need them to just
move
. GTA 6 needs smarter traffic flow — not NPCs who drive like it's Opposite Day.
We're ready for GTA 6 to be smarter, smoother, and more immersive. If Rockstar fixes these AI issues, we're looking at a game that's not just fun — it's legendary.

6 unforgettable moments from past Rockstar games that should inspire GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is already shaping up to be Rockstar's biggest game yet, but let's be real: the legacy it's trying to top is insane. Over the years, Rockstar has dropped some of the most unforgettable moments in gaming history. From heartbreaking betrayals to 'OMG did that just happen?' missions, they've done it all. So, as we get hyped for Vice City 2.0, here are 6 legendary Rockstar moments that GTA 6 needs to take notes from. 1. The Train Scene – Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Morgan on horseback, chasing a moving train while blasting outlaws? Peak Rockstar energy. That mission had urgency, stakes, and just the right amount of chaos. Imagine GTA 6 giving us high-speed heists on a moving yacht or train through the swamps of Leonida. Yes. Please. GTA 4 - Mission #38 - Three Leaf Clover (1080p) 2. The Bank Robbery – GTA 4: Three Leaf Clover This mission had it all—tension, bullets flying, and a getaway that felt impossible. It set the standard for modern heists in GTA. GTA 6 should crank this up to 11 with dynamic getaway routes, maybe switching vehicles or even using boats to escape. And let's be honest, nothing beats robbing banks with your crew. 3. Arthur's Last Ride – RDR2 This one hurt. Arthur riding into the sunset, music swelling, knowing what's coming? Cinematic perfection. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Une astuce simple et méconnue pour réduire vos factures à presque zéro : faites-le vous aussi ! Ma Prime Énergétique Lire la suite Undo We need a moment in GTA 6 that hits this hard. Maybe Lucia facing a final decision that splits the game's ending. Give us that emotional punch we never saw coming. 4. Trevor's Introduction – GTA 5 No one forgets the first time we met Trevor—yikes. It was shocking, hilarious, and instantly set the tone. GTA 6 needs a moment like that for Jason or Lucia. Something that makes you go, 'Wait… did that just happen?' Rockstar excels at character intros that grip you instantly. Don't hold back. 5. The Drug Trip Missions – GTA 5 & GTA Online Those trippy, wild hallucination missions were pure chaos and surprisingly creative. In GTA 6, Rockstar could go even deeper with Vice City-style neon nightmares or swamp shroom detours. The weirder and unpredictable, the better. Let Lucia fight a giant gator in a dream? We're in. John Marston Meeting Up With Dutch After A Long Time Red Dead Redemption 1 Vs 2 6. Meeting Dutch Again – RDR2 The quiet pain of watching Dutch spiral while Arthur still believes in him? Yeah. Rockstar's writing was next-level here. GTA 6 could bring in similar vibes through manipulative side characters or moral dilemmas. Give us a ride-or-die story that crumbles slowly. We love the drama. GTA 6 has a chance to blend emotional storytelling, jaw-dropping chaos, and iconic moments into something unforgettable. If Rockstar taps into their greatest hits, we're not just getting a game—we're getting a moment in gaming history.

GTA 6 trailer 2 shows Lucia attacked mid-heist on a plane, fans spot betrayal plot
Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer has fueled intense fan speculation, especially about a high-stakes airplane scene involving Lucia. In seemingly an undercover heist mission, Lucia is brutally assaulted by a well-built gang member on a cargo plane. The gruesome scene, together with the recent leaks, has made fans speculate that this is possibly a betrayal twist within an even bigger airport robbery. Lucia's aerial battle suggests betrayal in undercover robbery In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from GTA 6 trailer 2, Lucia is seen struggling against a large bodybuilder inside a plane's cargo hold. The scene ends with her being thrown hard against the open door of the wheel bay, raising serious questions about her safety and the mission's outcome. The attacker's size and aggression suggest she is not just an obstacle, but a key figure in what might be a deeper betrayal. Online commentators soon likened the action to set-piece cinematic moments within games such as Uncharted, drawing attention to Rockstar's move towards more choreographed set pieces. But it's the back-story that has most fans interested: leaks and theories suggest this is the set-piece for a heist that went wrong, where Lucia is double-crossed by her own crew in or after a robbery at an airport. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Leaked information and fan theory backs betrayal narrative As per leaked rumors, the operation entails Lucia infiltrating to execute a robbery inside the airport compound. But upon completion of the robbery, a group of bodybuilders, reported to be her temporary cohorts, betray her, and she is subjected to the explosive airplane assault witnessed in the teaser. This story is consistent with the overall themes of deception, changing allegiances, and survival which GTA 6 appears to be focused on. Fans have also noted the visual foreshadowing in the trailer, Lucia's undercover equipment, the plane scene, and the abrupt violence, all hinting at a climactic betrayal twist in her narrative. Although Rockstar hasn't confirmed any details about the plot, the population consensus is becoming increasingly loud with every rewatch. Lucia's aerial showdown in GTA 6 trailer 2 may be more than a showy action set piece, it could be a pivotal shift in her character development. If the betrayal rumors hold water, Rockstar is once more following through on its promise of gritty, unscripted storytelling in its most ambitious game to date.
