A petrol canister with a weapon slot

The Jerry Can earned its weapon-wheel slot in GTA 5 by letting players pour a trail of fuel and light it from a safe distance, and official GTA 6 screenshots show the red canister back in play. With fuel systems rumoured to run deeper in Leonida, a petrol can that doubles as area denial has more potential uses this time than it ever did in Los Santos. How it is thrown, poured or detonated in GTA 6 remains unshown.

The 20-litre steel jerry can, unchanged since the 1930s and still the series’ favourite fire starter.
