Evading Police in Leonida Gets Trickier as Wanted Mechanics Get an Overhaul
Written by the GTA6 Resources team
Getting a star isn't the worst of it anymore -- once law enforcement locks onto you in GTA 6, escaping becomes a whole new challenge.
According to a new report from IGN, Rockstar has significantly reworked how the wanted system functions in GTA 6, giving police additional tools to track down players who break the law in Leonida.
IGN's breakdown suggests the changes go beyond simply raising the difficulty of chases. The overhaul reportedly includes new methods for law enforcement to hunt players down, making a growing star rating feel more like an active pursuit than a passive meter ticking upward.
On the flip side, the outlet notes that players are also getting new options for shaking off the heat once they're being hunted. While specifics on those evasion methods weren't detailed in the excerpt, the framing suggests a more dynamic back-and-forth between cops and players compared to previous entries in the series.
As with much of what's being learned about GTA 6 ahead of release, exact mechanics remain somewhat under wraps. It's worth noting this is a developing area of coverage, and more concrete details on how the new wanted system plays out may emerge as outlets get further hands-on time with the game.
