Does GTA 6 have Dead Eye? Slow-motion aiming and Focus
Short answer: Yes, something similar. Both Jason and Lucia have a slow-motion aiming ability: Jason’s highlights enemy weak points, Lucia’s is focused on one precise shot. A separate Focus ability highlights useful objects and helps you spot police. Smoking cigarettes or cigars refills the meter, like Dead Eye in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Vital targeting
Gunfights also use vitals targeting: the reticle turns red over a spot that kills instantly and yellow over limbs and joints that only wound. Wounded enemies fall and writhe instead of dying, which can matter for your Criminal Profile. You can also shoot a gun out of someone’s hand.
