Here's what the new Grand Theft Auto heat icons mean 😱👇
GTA 6’s new police system is going to make escaping the cops way more complicated than simply hiding until your wanted stars disappear 😳🔥
👕 Clothing: Police can remember what you were wearing. Throwing on a hat or glasses may not be enough either, with Rockstar saying you may need to completely change outfits to make that information useless.
📹 CCTV: Security cameras can provide police with information about you. Wearing a mask during a crime and removing it afterwards can prevent them from getting a useful description of your face, even if the robbery was caught on camera.
👤Identity: Police can have a physical description of Jason or Lucia, so changing things like your hairstyle can actually help throw them off. 👥 Couple: If Jason and Lucia were reported committing a crime together, police can know they’re searching for two suspects, meaning splitting up can reduce the heat.
🚗 Rockstar also confirmed police can remember the vehicle you were driving, so abandoning a recognised car and switching to another can help you escape. GTA 6 is basically turning the wanted system into an actual manhunt rather than just a chase 👀
