Grand Theft Auto 6's Biker Gangs Could Be More Than Just Cannon Fodder

Players will probably see bikers inGrand Theft Auto 6, but they don’t have to simply be a minor threat in the grand scheme of things. More details aboutGrand Theft Auto 6are slowly starting to come to light, but the gameplay still holds most of its biggest mysteries. It already looks like Jason and Lucia will have a lot of dramatic threats to deal with over the course of their story. Where bikers will register remains to be seen. However, there are a few ways that they could end up as a significant part ofGTA 6.

WithGTA 6’s second trailerfinally releasing, fans now have a lot more to go off of regarding the game. The trailer made it absolutely clear that Jason and Lucia are in a romantic relationship, which is seen at several points. In addition, it presents a more concrete timeline, showing the moment where Jason picks up Lucia from prison. Much of the trailer shows off the usualGrand Theft Autoexperience, featuring wild missions, side activities, and goofy NPC interactions. Who Lucia and Jason are opposing is not 100% clear yet, but the game will definitely get very dramatic before players have a chance to see the end credits. And on their way to completion,GTA 6players are all but confirmed to do battle with the members of a biker gang - though the bikers can certainly be more than just an enemy faction.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Could Give Players a Lot to Do With Biker-Themed Content

Grand Theft Auto Has Featured Biker Stories Before

Players familiar withGrand Theft Auto’s Johnny Klebitzwill know that bikers were once the core of aGTAstory. In theGTA 4DLCThe Lost and the Damned, players controlled Johnny in his attempts to keep his struggling gang, The Lost, together after a series of misfortunes. It seems almost certain at this point thatGTA 6will revolve around Johnny and Lucia rather than a whole gang. However, one moment from the first trailer (as well as some images shared on the game’s official website) implied that bikers will be inGTA 6to some degree. The question is how much of a role they will ultimately play in the game.

Johnny and The Lost did reappear inGrand Theft Auto 5, but their role was extremely small.

GTA Online Let Players Become Bikers And Run Their Own Crew

It’s worth noting that Bikers are amongGTA Online’s criminal careers, andGrand Theft Auto 6could take a few ideas from that feature. InGrand Theft Auto Online, a player who becomes a biker will form a crew and have a hideout that doubles as a bar for additional income. In addition to doing missions as a crew, they’re also tasked with watching over their gang’s other illicit businesses and making sure that they can continue running without interference.Grand Theft Auto Online’s approach to an outlaw biker lifestyle could foretell things to come forGrand Theft Auto 6and its protagonists.

Jason and Lucia Could Make Biker Allies in GTA 6

As for how bikers could make their way intoGrand Theft Auto 6’s story, there are a few good examples. One good possibility is that after tangling with a troublesome gang early on, Jason and Lucia either throw their lot in with another local biker crew, or start their own. From there, they could buy and upgrade bikes that they could also use for their personal vehicles, and run missions to improve their club’s influence, likely battling with other outlaws over time. A well-managed crew could prove to be a valuable source of cash and allies for Jason and Lucia inGTA 6.

Bikers could be a real benefit toGrand Theft Auto 6. WithGTA 6’s lengthy development period, players have good reason to expect a few big surprises and gameplay improvements in store. Adding a biker side story to the game would give players plenty to do outside the main story. Plus, optional missions and activities are a core part of theGrand Theft Autoformula, and have been for a long time. Bikers could be the secret ingredient that can help pushGrand Theft Auto 6over the top, but time will tell if Rockstar includes it in its recipe.
