We know cars need fuel in GTA 6, but what happens when you actually get stranded?
Now that fuel is actually in the game, I’m more curious about what happens when you run out. TGG mentioned stealing a getaway car after a robbery and realizing it’s almost empty, which could make for some crazy situations 😂
Obviously if you’re being chased you’re probably just gonna ditch it and steal another car, but what if you actually wanna keep it? Could you have a gas can, call somebody to bring you fuel or get a tow truck out to wherever you’re stuck?
Tires could make this even crazier. Say one blows during a getaway and now the car is pulling to one side while you’re trying to keep it moving with sparks coming off the rim. Maybe you can keep driving on the blown tire long enough to get somewhere safe and actually change it, or say fuck it and keep going until the wheel is completely fucked. If you can’t fix it yourself, maybe that’s when you call somebody or get it towed.
It’d also be cool if random NPCs actually noticed when you’re stranded. Somebody could pull over and offer to help, maybe help push your car somewhere safe or bring you some gas. If you’re sitting broken down on the freeway long enough, maybe a tow truck eventually comes along to get you and the car off the road.
And I’d love to see the same shit happen to NPCs. You’re driving somewhere and see somebody standing next to a dead car with the hood up, a flat tire or an empty tank. You could stop and give them a jump, help with the tire, give them a ride, help push the car or just keep driving. Hell, you could pretend you’re gonna help and rob them instead 😂
Where it happens could change the whole situation too. Running out in Vice City probably isn’t a big deal. Running out way in the middle of nowhere at night with barely anybody around could turn into something completely different.
And if you don’t wanna deal with any of that, fuck it, leave the car and steal another one 😂
