For the weapons models that are only meant to appear during cutscenes, see Cutscene Weapons.

Beta Weapons are weapons that were removed from a Grand Theft Auto game during its development. It also includes some weapons that didn't make it to the final game and weapons have their models changed, and some still exist in the game files. Many made well during development and it is unknown why they were removed. However, some of them can be obtained through cheat device and trainers.

  • The Skateboard was cut from the PC version. It is primarily a melee weapon but also a vehicle.
  • The Glock 17 was cut from gameplay, though it is seen in some cutscenes in place of the usual Pistol model.
  • The Micro SMG known from GTA Vice City was also removed, but can be seen in several early screenshots.
  • The Parachute was originally smaller and blue. It can be seen in the mission A Home in the Hills and the Parachute demonstration in the flight school.
  • The in-game HUD for the Sniper Rifle resembles a PSG-1.
  • Unused alternate variations of the dildo and vibrator exist, it is possible to spawn these using trainers or cheats.
  • The Python from GTA Vice City is shown as the sign of the Ammu-Nation in Market.
  • The Micro SMG's HUD icon resembles a MAC-10.
  • The Spray Can used a different texture.
  • The Land Mine was cut. Only the model remained in the game files (mine.dff).

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories[]

  • The tear gas and landmine were going to be included in the game. However, they can be obtained with cheat device.
  • The phone was cut and replaced with a pager. On the PSP version, it's possible to take the phone out with cheat devices, but it's useless. But it can be seen in some cutscenes.

  • A sniper rifle resembling an SR-25/Mk 12 can be seen wielded by both Michael and Trevor during some artworks, also in the newer update files the cut SR-25/MK-12 Hybrid HUD and texture files could be found. It is named Assault Sniper in-game.

Note Michael on the right wielding the SR-25/Mk. 12 Hybrid.

  • In a trailer, Trevor can be seen holding an Assault Rifle with a Laser Sight attachment. This was also seen in another screenshot where it is seen in use by a police helicopter sniper.

Another view of the Glock pistol being wielded by Franklin.

  • The Fire Axe was cut.
  • The Lasso was cut.
  • A SCAR-based weapon named Heavy Rifle was cut, albeit it returned in The Contract update for GTA Online.
  • An XM25 Grenade Launcher named Programmable A.R. was cut.
  • An HK21-based weapon named the Assault MG was cut.
  • An Uzi-based weapon named the Rubber Gun was cut.
  • A Lighter as seen in one of the loading screen artworks was cut.
  • Some weapons had the green tint by default (i.e., Assault Rifle, Advanced Rifle).
  • Some weapons had an older more realistic wood-cast model.
  • An Beretta 92FS/M9 Pistol was meant to appear but was probably replaced by the ongoing Taurus PT92.
  • One of the pistols (not confirmed which one) had the same shooting noise as the pistol from GTA IV, as Lamar is seen shooting one out of a car in Franklin's trailer. This may have been a placeholder.
  • The Rocket Launcher originally had an optional grip attachment, as seen in the official BradyGames Guide. It was taken out in the final game.
  • The Sawed-Off Shotgun had wooden grips.
  • Several of the weapons in the Beta much more resembled their real-life counterparts (i.e the Bullpup Shotgun resembled the KSG more clearly, and the Combat MG looked more like the FN Mk 48). This can be seen in the HUD icons for some of the weapons as well as the beta models of weapons such as the Assault SMG and Combat MG.
    • Some weapons such as the Assault SMG and Combat MG were originally modified from their TBoGT equivalents before being changed, whether to avoid copyright infringement or for creativity reasons.
  • An artwork for the High Life Update suggests that the Bullpup Rifle was originally modeled after the British L85A2 assault rifle. In the final version, it is based on the Chinese QBZ-95.
  • The Sword exists in the Grand Theft Auto V game files but it is not available and is unusable, as it has no actual code to function as a weapon. Only the graphics of it exist. It is possible to display it through hacking but it will not function and will be treated merely as if it was a clothing object. It was possibly that the sword was once a usable weapon in the beta version of the game, but was not implemented and got removed very early in development for unknown reasons.
  • The Flamethrower was (presumably) cut again.
