If you’re an expert in evading the GTA police, with the return of this old feature, it won’t be as easy to do in GTA 6. Check below for the long-requested feature that GTA 6 fans are hoping for in the new game.

GTA 6 fans are eager to get their hands on the new game from the Rockstar franchise and once again dive into the beloved Vice City, this time stepping into the shoes of Lucia, the protagonist of GTA 6. However, we are still far from that happening since Rockstar only confirmed that the game will arrive in 2025.

Despite the long wait until the release date, GTA 6 fans have been creating theories about possible new features, how the main character’s story could unfold, and even calling for the return of some features from past editions.

On Reddit, user ‘gnarly_gnorc’ shared a post titled “Will we see the return of the 6-star wanted level?” and asked the community what they think about the return of this old feature.

The 6-star wanted level was an old tradition in the Grand Theft Auto franchise; however, Rockstar decided not to include it in GTA V, and therefore, the military ceased to be a protagonist in the higher wanted levels for more than 10 years. That’s why many GTA 6 fans would like to see that sixth star in the wanted level again.

User ‘Dercula’ not only believes that Rockstar will reintroduce the 6-star wanted level but also suggests that “1 star should be a ticket like how Mafia does it.” In Mafia, if you get a 1-star wanted level, a cop issues you a ticket that you have to pay as a fine for a minor crime.

This user’s proposal was well-received, and other fans even detailed how the wanted levels would progress based on this idea, pointing out that in the 6-star wanted level, “the Army, coast guards, Air support from both helicopters and jets” will come for you, they will be able to use explosives, and “Everyone, even normal cops, now wear body armor and use M4s / shotguns / submachine guns when coming after you.”

After reading this, many users commented that it would be “so awesome,” and very few were not excited about it, claiming that GTA 6 leaks only showed up to the 5-star wanted level.

However, leaks are not the final product, and Rockstar is still far from being able to release the final version of GTA 6. It remains to be seen as we approach the 2025 release date what the maximum wanted level will be in the game.
