While fans are still waiting for Rockstar Games to officially announce Grand Theft Auto 6, more leaks have been circulating online, giving us more clues on what gameplay elements from previous GTA games they might bring back in the upcoming title. One recent leak has stirred excitement among the gaming community, suggesting a return to one of the most memorable aspects of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: trucking missions.
It's been nearly a couple of decades since Rockstar launched GTA: San Andreas, a title that left an unforgettable mark on the franchise with its less conventional and inventive gameplay. GTA: San Andreas was famous for its imaginative content, which sharply contrasted with the more realistic gameplay aspects of its successors, GTA 4 and GTA 5. Gamers have long reminisced about the unique elements that made GTA: San Andreas stand out, with trucking missions being a highlight.
A leaked map of GTA 6 showed a discernible truck icon, sparking speculation about the return of trucking missions. This news has piqued the interest of the fan community, pointing towards a potential mix of new and nostalgic gameplay in the highly-anticipated game.
These leaks are not really new but rather an analysis of the leaks that have spread before, with sharp-eyed fans noticing what others have missed. Redditor vaspinbreak1 shared a Reddit post in which he opened up by stating that their summations are talking about GTA VI "things" they found "interesting and aren't talked about a lot." The user went on point out that “Trucking missions from GTA: SA seem to be back as there is an icon for a truck”, referring to the map images that show the truck icon.
What are the trucking missions in GTA: San Andreas?
GTA: San Andreas consisted of eight trucking missions, and they were some of the most hair-raising parts of the game. Trucking missions revolve around the transport of goods all across San Andreas, and they are considered to be one of the most challenging side missions in GTA: San Andreas, with players able to fail numerous ways, but the reward was $2,000 - a decent payoff if you can stay on the road. These missions were a nightmare to people who are terrible at driving.
Players can do the Trucker Missions after completing the Tanker Commander mission with Catalina. The location of the mission is the same area where you deposited the tanker at the end of that mission, which is the RS Haul depot in Flint County. You can activate the missions by standing in the red marker outside the shack inside the depot.
According to rumors, GTA 6 will be set in Vice City, Rockstar's fictionalized version of Miami, but of course, nothing has officially been confirmed by Rockstar, and the leaked information might come from an earlier version of GTA 6, so let's take these leaks and rumors with a grain of salt.
