Gangs and factions, GTA VI

The gangs and factions of GTA VI

Ambrosia bikers, a Southside gang, Raul’s robbers, the Keys drug runners and law enforcement: the groups Rockstar has shown, and what’s still to be confirmed.

Each page says where the group’s name comes from: a Rockstar text, a patch or a sign visible on screen, or a reading by players. Showing a group doesn’t tell you whether it’ll be an ally or a target: its role is still to be discovered. Understanding statuses.

What Rockstar has shown

No Rockstar text lists the gangs. Still, patches, a sign, an edition text and an interview sketch out the landscape.

    Famitsu

    Rob Nelson (Rockstar North): you sneak into gang hideouts to steal money or drugs, which the map puts a number on ahead of time; the drugs get sold to a fence. No witness or alarm, no wanted level.

Here, a name “read on screen” comes from a patch, a marking or a sign: that doesn’t mean Rockstar has introduced it.

Player observations

What the community has identified

The wikis go further than the images. Here’s what they suggest.

Final Chapter MCColors compared to those of the Bandidos, turf to that of the Warlocks, two real-life clubs (GTA Wiki). source
San4SanName read on a chain (Trailer 1, 1:08) and a mural in La Perle (Trailer 2, 0:46) according to the wiki; it first showed up in the 2022 leaks. source
The Venture Apartments dealersLinked to San4San by the wiki; the video doesn’t name their group. source
The 2002 gangsThe return of the Cubans or the Colombian cartel from GTA Vice City is still a GTABase hypothesis. source
Raul’s crew, Brian’s networkNo official name: giving them a fan-made name would be inaccurate, as one guide points out. source
Law enforcementGTABase lists about a dozen agencies; this site only keeps the readable names. source

A name read by a wiki stays a community identification until Rockstar writes it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions people type into a search engine, with short, dated answers.

Which gangs are confirmed in GTA VI?
Two groups have a name in official media: the Final Chapter MC, read on the vests in an Ambrosia screenshot, and Southside’s PTT Youngin$, named in the Ultimate Edition text. San4San is only a reading by players.
Can you attack gang hideouts?
Yes, according to Rob Nelson (Famitsu): you break into a hideout to steal money or drugs. The map shows what it holds; the drugs get sold to a fence.
Who are the Ambrosia bikers?
The Final Chapter MC, founded in 1982 going by its patches: as Rockstar puts it, the local biker gang provides pretty much everything the refinery doesn’t.
How does the wanted level work?
A crime is only reported if someone sees it or an alarm goes off, and the stars go up, but not excessively (Rob Nelson). Glasses or a haircut aren’t enough: the police know your clothes.
Can you join Raul’s crew?
In the story, yes: the Extended Look shows Raul taking Jason and Lucia into his crew after a successful getaway. What happens next hasn’t been published.
