SMGs in GTA 6

The SMG class has the strongest confirmed foothold in GTA 6 of any weapon category: Rockstar's official materials list an Engraved Compact SMG as part of Lucia Caminos' signature loadout, alongside her Hawk & Little Morgan revolver. It is one of only two specifically named firearms confirmed for the game.

The choice fits the character and the story: a compact machine pistol is the classic Bonnie-and-Clyde weapon — concealable under a jacket, devastating in a store at close range, and exactly what a paroled robber would carry. Trailer 2's holdup scenes show precisely that kind of weapon work.

SMG gameplay expectations

GTA 5's SMG class covered everything from micro machine pistols to full-size submachine guns, and GTA Online added compact variants like the one Lucia carries. GTA 6 is expected to carry that variety forward with the same one-handed, run-and-gun handling that made the class popular.

For drive-bys, robberies, and backpedaling out of bad situations, the SMG remains GTA's most versatile weapon class. Browse the full weapons guide for everything else confirmed.

The engraving on Lucia's compact SMG is the detail worth watching. Custom-engraved weapons have existed in GTA Online for years, but a protagonist launching with a personalized signature weapon suggests GTA 6 treats guns the way its predecessors treated cars: as identity. Expect the SMG class to carry the most character-specific personality in the game.
