Is This Confirmed for GTA 6?
Rockstar has not confirmed injury system for GTA 6. Below is the verifiable franchise history plus clearly-labelled leaks or expectation — not fact.
In the GTA Series
GTA's damage model has historically been a health bar plus armor; RDR2 added far more detailed wound reactions, blood, and location-based hit responses. GTA 6 is expected to inherit RDR2's more advanced damage tech.
What Leaks Suggest (Unconfirmed)
Leaks suggest GTA 6 builds on RDR2's gore and dismemberment for gunfights. This is from leaks and analysis, not an official mechanics breakdown.
Reasonable Expectation
More detailed, location-aware injury reactions than GTA V are plausible given the RDR2 lineage, but Rockstar has published no GTA 6 injury system, healing rates, or wound mechanics.
What Was Removed
Removed invented GTA 6 injury types, healing percentages, limb-damage tables, 'an unspecified amount' filler and 'community reception.' Kept the franchise/RDR2 damage lineage and labelled gore as leak-sourced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GTA 6 have a detailed injury system?

How did damage work in older GTA games?
A health bar plus body armor. RDR2 introduced much more detailed wound and blood reactions, which GTA 6 is expected to inherit.
