GTA 6’s Gangs Are SCARIER Than You Think... — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00GTA 6 comes out in 13 days, and Rockstar
- 0:02is still showing us new gangs. They just
- 0:05posted a bunch of new screenshots to
- 0:06their website, and one of them is of the
- 0:08Marabunta Grande, which is a returning
- 0:10gang from GTA 5. And in one of the
- 0:12screenshots that Edge magazine posted a
- 0:14few weeks ago, they're in the same lot
- 0:15as the Final Chapter MC, which is the
- 0:17biker club that basically runs Ambrosia.
- 0:19And it looks like they're in the middle
- 0:21of some sort of handoff. So, if a Vice
- 0:22City street gang is doing business with
- 0:24bikers from a whole other part of the
- 0:26map, then that means the gangs in GTA 6
- 0:28could all be connected. So, today I'm
- 0:30covering every gang and every faction
- 0:32that we know about so far. [music] And
- 0:33shout out to the 3% of you that are
- 0:35subscribed, and to the 97% you're going
- 0:37to come back, so you may as well just
- 0:38sub. But without further ado, let's get
- 0:40into gang number one. So, the first gang
- 0:42on this list is the Marabunta Grande
- 0:44gang. If you play GTA 5, you've seen
- 0:46these guys before. They had the block
- 0:48right next to Lester's house, and they
- 0:49were Rockstar's version of MS-13. And
- 0:52now they're back in GTA 6, and pretty
- 0:54much every member we've seen so far is
- 0:56covered in M7 tattoos, with a lot of
- 0:59them right on their faces. The real gang
- 1:01that they're based on has a history that
- 1:03most people don't know. MS-13 started in
- 1:05Los Angeles in the 1980s. Salvadoran
- 1:08immigrants who moved to LA set it up to
- 1:10protect themselves from the other gangs
- 1:12in their neighborhoods. It only spread
- 1:13to El Salvador in the 1990s after many
- 1:16of its members got deported back there.
- 1:18And their name is tied to the GTA 6
- 1:20gang's name as well. The MS in MS-13
- 1:23stands for Mara Salvatrucha, and the
- 1:25Mara in Mara Salvatrucha is usually said
- 1:27to come from Marabunta, which is a type
- 1:30of army ant that likes to move in big
- 1:31swarms. [music] So, when Rockstar named
- 1:33this gang the Marabunta Grande back in
- 1:35GTA 5, they were making a direct
- 1:37connection to MS-13. As for their
- 1:39colors, it looks like in GTA 6 their
- 1:40color is blue. In this screenshot here,
- 1:42you can see all of the blue, all the
- 1:44blue bandannas, the blue clothes, even
- 1:46the background has some blue in it. And
- 1:47then if we rewind a couple of weeks to
- 1:49the launch trailer, we see them riding
- 1:51in this green car here, and once again,
- 1:53blue bandannas, blue clothes. That same
- 1:55green car also has a spider web and a
- 1:57spider on it. And the guy in the
- 1:58backseat has a spider web tattoo on his
- 2:00elbow. Then, in the new screenshot that
- 2:02Rockstar posted, more of the members
- 2:03have spider web tattoos, too. Spiders
- 2:05have been a recurring theme in basically
- 2:07every single glimpse [music] we've had
- 2:08at this gang, so that could potentially
- 2:10be their symbol, or I'm not sure. Now,
- 2:12if we go back to the Edge magazine
- 2:14screenshot, we can see that the
- 2:15Marabunta are actually hanging out in a
- 2:17parking lot outside of some apartments.
- 2:19One guy is getting tattooed in a folding
- 2:20chair, another guy is standing off to
- 2:22the side holding an AK, and we also see
- 2:24a green car off to the side that looks
- 2:26like it could potentially be the same
- 2:27green car from the launch trailer, but
- 2:29behind all of that is a group of bikers
- 2:31in Final Chapter vests standing around
- 2:33with their motorcycles. A street gang
- 2:35and a biker club in the exact same spot
- 2:37with guns and bags around makes it look
- 2:39like some kind of deal is happening. We
- 2:40didn't really see that much in GTA 5,
- 2:42where the gangs mostly just stuck to
- 2:44their own blocks and shot at anyone who
- 2:45came close. So, in GTA 6, we might
- 2:47actually see some sort of gang alliances
- 2:50or strategic partnerships between the
- 2:51gangs on different parts of the maps.
- 2:53And that brings us to the Final Chapter.
- 2:55The Final Chapter MC is based in
- 2:57Ambrosia, and Rockstar's own description
- 2:59of the town tells you how much power
- 3:01they have there. It says the sugar
- 3:02refinery provides the jobs, and the
- 3:04local biker gangs provide almost
- 3:06everything else. So, one company runs
- 3:08the legal side of town, and the bikers
- 3:10run whatever's left. So, the club
- 3:11basically acts as the muscle for the
- 3:13refinery when something needs to get
- 3:15done off the books. You can see their
- 3:16patch on the back of their vests. It's a
- 3:18smiling Grim Reaper holding an open
- 3:20book, which fits the name Final Chapter.
- 3:22One of the smaller patches says the club
- 3:24was started in 1982, so they've been
- 3:26around Ambrosia for a pretty long time.
- 3:28One also has a patch for John Samuels
- 3:30Tennessee Whiskey, which is Rockstar's
- 3:32version of Jack Daniels. But, the patch
- 3:34that matters most is in this screenshot
- 3:36right here. If you look at his vest, we
- 3:37see that he has a patch that says
- 3:39enforcer. That means the club has ranks.
- 3:42The Lost MC in GTA 5 didn't really have
- 3:44that. You'd sometimes see a rank on a
- 3:45random biker's vest, but those guys
- 3:47weren't important characters. And Trevor
- 3:49wiped out a bunch of them in one of his
- 3:50first missions, anyways. The last time
- 3:52Rockstar gave us a biker club with a
- 3:54real chain of command was GTA 4's The
- 3:56Lost and Damned, where Billy was the
- 3:58president and Johnny was the vice
- 3:59president. If the Final Chapter is set
- 4:01up the same way, we could end up dealing
- 4:03with different members depending on
- 4:04their rank. As for the look of the club,
- 4:06it seems to come from a real biker club
- 4:08called the Bandidos. They started in
- 4:09Texas in 1966, and they're known for
- 4:12their red and gold patch. And today,
- 4:14they have chapters in 22 countries. And
- 4:16if we look at the final chapter's
- 4:17colors, it lines up pretty closely with
- 4:19theirs. But the actual location of the
- 4:21club seems to line up more with the
- 4:23Warlocks MC, which is a biker club from
- 4:25Florida. So, Rockstar seems to have
- 4:27taken the look from one real club and
- 4:29the location from another and combined
- 4:31them into the final chapter MC. And
- 4:32there's one more connection here. Back
- 4:34in GTA Vice City, there was a gang
- 4:36called the Vice City Bikers led by Mitch
- 4:38Baker, and they were based on the Hells
- 4:40Angels. In real life, the Hells Angels
- 4:42and the Bandidos are rivals. We haven't
- 4:44seen any sign of the Vice City Bikers in
- 4:46GTA 6 yet, but if Rockstar built one
- 4:49club off the Bandidos, bringing back the
- 4:51club they built off the Hells Angels
- 4:52would make a lot of sense. The Final
- 4:54Chapter MC also gets around. In that
- 4:56edge screenshot, they're standing in a
- 4:58parking lot with a gang from the city.
- 5:00And in another screenshot, the club is
- 5:01riding through a small town with pine
- 5:03trees and hills in the background. And
- 5:05if you actually look at the signs on the
- 5:06side of that road, one says West 88 and
- 5:08the other one says National Forest
- 5:10[music] and Scenic Byway. So, that would
- 5:12put them up north, most likely near
- 5:14Mount Chiliad National Park. So, despite
- 5:16being based in Ambrosia, we've seen them
- 5:18up in the mountains as well as in the
- 5:20city in a parking lot with the Marabunta
- 5:21Grande. Out of every group we've seen so
- 5:23far, they seem to cover the most
- 5:25territory on the map. So, they might end
- 5:27up being one of the most powerful gangs
- 5:28[music] in the entire game. The gang
- 5:30Rockstar has shown us the most of so far
- 5:32though is a gang called San for San. San
- 5:34for San is a street gang in a
- 5:36neighborhood called La Perle, which is
- 5:38Rockstar's version of Little Haiti in
- 5:39Miami. And they've left their name all
- 5:42over this neighborhood. In trailer two,
- 5:43when Jason drives past the cops
- 5:45arresting people, there's a big red and
- 5:46blue white mural on the wall. The name
- 5:48La Perle is on that wall, and so is the
- 5:51San for San name. And the members are
- 5:52just as loyal to their neighborhood. One
- 5:54of them has Perle tattooed on his chest.
- 5:57There's a guy in trailer one wearing a
- 5:58big chain that says S for S. And we see
- 6:00that same guy again in the extended look
- 6:02wearing the same chain and the same
- 6:04shirt. That whole opening part of the
- 6:05extended look seems to happen on San
- 6:07Fierro San Turf. Jason and Lucia show up
- 6:09at a drug house to pick up for Boobie
- 6:11and it ends in a shootout. The real gang
- 6:13San Fierro San seems to be based on is
- 6:14called Zo Pound and the two names line
- 6:17up once you translate them. Zo is the
- 6:19Haitian Creole word for bone because the
- 6:21members were supposed to be hard to the
- 6:22bone and in San Fierro San, San is the
- 6:25Creole word for blood. So the gang's
- 6:27name means blood for blood. Zo Pound
- 6:29started in Little Haiti, the same
- 6:31neighborhood that La Peral is based on
- 6:33in the early 1990s. It began with young
- 6:35Haitian immigrants who were getting
- 6:37picked on and beaten up just for being
- 6:39Haitian. So they started sticking
- 6:40together to protect each other and over
- 6:42time that turned into a full criminal
- 6:44operation. They got into moving the
- 6:45white stuff through the port of Miami
- 6:47and some of their crews would board
- 6:49ships coming into port and steal their
- 6:51cargo. That got the feds involved and
- 6:53many of their members taken down. San
- 6:55Fierro San probably isn't the only gang
- 6:56around La Peral either. In trailer one
- 6:58we get this shot of this guy hanging out
- 7:00of this green car and he's wearing a red
- 7:02bandana around his neck. Some fans think
- 7:04this could be from a rival gang, maybe a
- 7:06new version of the Cubans who were the
- 7:07Haitians biggest rivals in Vice City,
- 7:10but that's all speculation. Rockstar
- 7:11hasn't confirmed anything about that
- 7:12yet. We also see this bald guy in this
- 7:14clip from trailer one with these two
- 7:16guys dapping each other up and he's
- 7:17wearing a blue bandana around his head.
- 7:19Now when you think of blue, you think of
- 7:21the Marabunta gang, but it seems like
- 7:22that's mostly a Spanish gang so maybe
- 7:24this is from a different gang that also
- 7:26wears blue. All right, now over in
- 7:27Southside Vice City there's a gang
- 7:29that's even louder about what they do.
- 7:31The PTT Youngins were revealed through
- 7:33the ultimate edition where one of the
- 7:35bonuses in that edition is a mission
- 7:36where you can raid one of their
- 7:37compounds. Rockstar's own description
- 7:39calls them one of Southside Vice City's
- 7:41loudest and most socially active gangs
- 7:44and apparently if you rob their compound
- 7:46and get out safely, you can walk away
- 7:47with special items and contraband. So
- 7:49this tells us that they're based in
- 7:50Southside Vice City and that they're big
- 7:52on social media. That fits with
- 7:54everything Rockstar has shown us so far
- 7:56because pretty much everyone in Leonida
- 7:57is filming something on their phone. In
- 7:59the screenshot of their compound, one of
- 8:01the members is filming two of the other
- 8:03members riding a dirt bike around inside
- 8:04of it. So these guys will probably be
- 8:06flexing on social media the same way
- 8:07that a lot of real gangs do nowadays.
- 8:09They also dress a lot differently than a
- 8:11lot of the other gangs in this game. The
- 8:12Youngans wear bright neon blue, pink,
- 8:15and green, and that matters because in
- 8:17the La Perle screenshot with the
- 8:18graffiti on the pillars, there's a group
- 8:20of guys on bikes wearing those same
- 8:21bright colors. Their outfits match the
- 8:23Youngans a lot more than Sef for Sen,
- 8:25even though they're riding right outside
- 8:26of Sef for Sen's neighborhood. It could
- 8:28be a stretch, but if that is the
- 8:29Youngans riding through La Perle, then
- 8:31two gangs are already crossing into each
- 8:33other's turf, and we could see real turf
- 8:35wars in GTA 6. Nobody has confirmed
- 8:37this, but players have wanted gang wars
- 8:39back ever since San Andreas, so it would
- 8:41be a good sign. The compound itself is
- 8:43another clue. Rockstar is giving gangs
- 8:44actual bases that you can hit for loot.
- 8:46The Youngans compound could be part of a
- 8:48much bigger system, too, because the
- 8:502022 leaks mention another gang hideout
- 8:52that we'll get to you in a little bit.
- 8:54So, if that's the case, there could be
- 8:55gang hideouts all over the map that you
- 8:56can raid. The one catch is that this
- 8:58particular mission comes with the
- 8:59ultimate edition, so not everyone will
- 9:01get to play it. There are also two more
- 9:03groups that we only know about from the
- 9:052022 leaks. The first is the Gardia
- 9:07Brothers. The leaks mention a place
- 9:09called the Gardia hideout up in North
- 9:11Vice City, and that's about all we have.
- 9:13A hideout lines up with the PTT Youngans
- 9:14compound, though, and the Gardia hideout
- 9:16could be another spot that you can
- 9:18actually raid. As for their name, Gardia
- 9:20is the Spanish word for guard, so this
- 9:22is almost certainly a Latin American
- 9:23gang. Some people have compared them to
- 9:25the Mendez Brothers from Vice City
- 9:27Stories. Armando and Diego Mendez were
- 9:29two of the main villains in that game,
- 9:31and they ran a drug cartel out of Vice
- 9:32City. So, if the Gardia Brothers are a
- 9:34family-run crew like that, they could
- 9:36end up being closer to a cartel than a
- 9:38street gang. The second group that we
- 9:39see in these leaks are the Far Right
- 9:41Militia, and we know even less about
- 9:43them. All we have are three labels from
- 9:45the leaked debug menu: Far Right Militia
- 9:47Training, Far Right Militia Trucks Only,
- 9:50and Far Right Militia Final Visit.
- 9:52Nobody knows where they're based. Some
- 9:54people think they're up near Mount
- 9:55Cologa, and then some think they're out
- 9:56in the Grass Rivers. They might be a
- 9:58full faction with missions, or they
- 10:00might just be something that you run
- 10:01into while exploring, like the Night
- 10:03Folk in RDR2. Final Visit also sounds
- 10:06like the last time that you deal with
- 10:07them, so it's also possible that they
- 10:09only show up for a few missions. Now, as
- 10:11for some of the main characters, it's
- 10:13not certain if they're actually in a
- 10:14specific gang, but they are operating
- 10:17pretty close to a lot of the gangs in
- 10:18this game. For example, we have Boobie
- 10:20Ike. He's the guy who sent Jason and
- 10:21Lucia into that drug house in the
- 10:23extended look, and he's one of the
- 10:24biggest names in Vice City's criminal
- 10:26world. According to Rockstar, he runs a
- 10:28club and a music empire, and he says the
- 10:30drug money is what pays for all of it.
- 10:32He owns the Jack of Hearts Club and his
- 10:34own record label with artists like Dre
- 10:35Quan Priest and Real Dimes. Rockstar
- 10:38also said he likes to keep his own hands
- 10:39clean and just let his crew do his dirty
- 10:41work for him. That's exactly why Jason
- 10:43and Lucia were at that drug house. They
- 10:45were there to pick up so that Boobie
- 10:46didn't have to. Now, Rockstar hasn't
- 10:47given his crew an actual name yet, but
- 10:50somebody making that much drug money has
- 10:51to have people working for him, so we'll
- 10:53almost definitely be dealing with them
- 10:54at some point. Boobie is likely based on
- 10:57a real person, too. In Miami in the late
- 10:59'80s and '90s, there was a violent drug
- 11:01crew called the Boobie Boys ran by a guy
- 11:03named Kenneth Boobie Williams, and just
- 11:05like Boobie Ike, he has a link to the
- 11:07music world. Rick Ross, who honestly
- 11:08looks like Boobie Ike, has said in
- 11:10interviews that Kenneth Williams was his
- 11:12most important mentor. Some people in
- 11:13Miami have questioned how close the two
- 11:15of them really were, but the name, the
- 11:17drugs, and the music all line up with
- 11:19Boobie Ike. We also have two more people
- 11:20to talk about, which is Brian and Raul.
- 11:23Brian lives out in the Leonida Keys, and
- 11:25he is known as Jason's mentor. And
- 11:26Rockstar says that he's been running
- 11:28drugs through the Keys for years. Jason
- 11:30lives in one of Brian's properties and
- 11:32does work for him, and Brian runs the
- 11:34whole thing out of Brian's Boat Works
- 11:35and Marina. And the footage shows how
- 11:37big this operation is. In trailer two,
- 11:39Jason and Cal carry cargo onto a small
- 11:41plane inside of a hangar at the marina
- 11:43at night. In other shots, a plane drops
- 11:45packages all over the water, and Cal is
- 11:47out on the water watching through
- 11:48binoculars, probably looking for the
- 11:50next drop. There's even a screenshot of
- 11:52Brian holding up a white brick while
- 11:53pointing to this guy like he's giving
- 11:55him directions. An operation of this
- 11:57size needs more people than just Brian,
- 11:59Jason, and Cal. Real smuggling
- 12:00operations deal with other crews all the
- 12:02time, either as partners or as rivals
- 12:05trying to take their [music] product.
- 12:06So, there's a good chance we run into
- 12:07other smuggling crews around the Keys at
- 12:09some point. Then there's Raul Batista,
- 12:11the bank robber. Rockstar describes him
- 12:13as someone who's always looking for new
- 12:15talent. If Raul is out recruiting other
- 12:17people for jobs, then there's a pool of
- 12:19criminals in Leonida that he's pulling
- 12:20from. Some of them could be small crews
- 12:22that just run their own heists, and he
- 12:24just brings them in whenever he needs
- 12:25more people. None of this is confirmed,
- 12:27but between Brian, Boobie, and Raul,
- 12:29every big criminal we've met in this
- 12:30game seems to have people working under
- 12:32them that Rockstar hasn't named yet. So,
- 12:34that's every gang and faction that we
- 12:35know about in GTA 6 so far. If you
- 12:38spotted something in the trailers or
- 12:39screenshots that I missed, feel free to

- 12:47I'll see you guys in Leonida.
