Shooting Range

Shooting Range is an activity set to appear in GTA 6.

During the Extended Look, we got our first look at Lucia taking part in a shooting range challenge, and there are a few interesting details in the HUD. There are 12 targets, with the counter showing 7 remaining at one point, meaning Lucia has already taken out five targets when the footage begins.

A timer counts down, and the HUD displays a 30-second benchmark alongside a silver medal icon. This could be the time requirement for completing the challenge, but we don’t know for sure yet. Since the footage starts with five targets already taken out, I’m assuming the gold medal will have a higher requirement.

Every time Lucia takes out a target, some time is added to the timer, with headshots triggering instant knockdowns that add even more time. The HUD displays separate TIME BONUS and INSTANT KNOCKDOWN notifications next to the target, confirming that players will be rewarded for taking out targets quickly and efficiently. It’s very similar to Max Payne 3’s arcade mode in terms of UI.

Lucia is carrying multiple weapons, with a shotgun on her back, and starts shooting with a carbine rifle before switching to a pistol. This suggests these challenges may let you use specific loadouts or choose your own weapons, though that’s not confirmed.

The shooting range itself is also interesting. Rather than remaining stationary at a firing booth, Lucia can move around a mock training area featuring building facades, steel targets, barrels, and sandbags. It looks more like a dedicated combat training course than the traditional shooting ranges in previous titles.

Whether this activity is tied to Ammu-Nation or if there are dedicated shooting ranges around Leonida isn’t confirmed yet. Either way, it looks like a proper arcade-style challenge mode that will likely improve your shooting skill, although stat improvements haven’t been confirmed. If I had to guess, Focus is the key stat being affected here.
