Is This Confirmed for GTA 6?
Rockstar has not confirmed crafting system for GTA 6. Below is the verifiable franchise history plus clearly-labelled leaks or expectation — not fact.
In the GTA Series
Mainline GTA has never had a workbench/crafting system — weapons, ammo and items were bought (Ammu-Nation) or found as pickups. The closest Rockstar precedent is Red Dead Redemption 2's camp/satchel crafting, where players combined materials into tonics, ammunition and throwables.
Reasonable Expectation
Some fans expect GTA 6 to borrow RDR2-style crafting, and the survival-leaning leaks (limited carry, looting) could fit that. But Rockstar has shown no crafting system, recipes, materials or workbenches for GTA 6 — so any 'crafting' detail is speculation.
What Was Removed
An earlier version described an entire GTA 6 crafting system as fact — workbenches in safehouses, specific recipes (Molotovs, pipe bombs, EMP devices), a 'proficiency' system with a '10% fizzle chance', costs '40–60% cheaper than buying', and 'community reception' of an unreleased game. None of that is confirmed; mainline GTA has never had crafting. The whole fabricated mechanic was removed.
