Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars may not be as popular as other GTA games, but it had a unique feature that could work really well in GTA 6.

If you haven’t heard of Chinatown Wars, it’s likely because it was released on the Nintendo DS back in 2009.

Rockstar Games wanted to bring the GTA experience to handheld devices in the late 2000s.

They went back to the old-school top-down view for Chinatown Wars, which earned a high score of 93 on Metacritic.

Fans loved it, and one feature that stood out was the drug dealing mechanic. Many hope to see this feature come back in GTA 6.

Fans Want Drug Dealing Back in GTA 6

In Chinatown Wars, the drug dealing mechanic was a big hit, and fans are asking for its return in GTA 6.

Since the game is set in Vice City, a place known for its criminal activity, this feature would make sense.

In the original Vice City game, drugs like cocaine played a major role in the story, and it’s likely that Vice City hasn’t changed much in the new game.

We’ve seen drug dealing before in Vice City Stories through the Empire Building feature, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see it return in GTA 6.

With the rumored main characters, Lucia and Jason, starting as small-time criminals, this mechanic could be the perfect fit as they climb the ranks in Vice City’s underworld.

How Drug Dealing Worked in Chinatown Wars?

In Chinatown Wars, players could meet drug dealers all around Liberty City. Each dealer sold different types of drugs, like weed, acid, and heroin, at different prices.

The goal was simple—buy drugs at a low price and sell them at a higher price to make a profit.

Certain dealers, usually tied to specific gangs, would pay extra for certain drugs, allowing players to earn more money.

Players would also get tips about special deals happening in specific areas, giving them the chance to score big.

However, there was always a risk involved. Police could raid a deal at any moment, leading to an instant wanted level. The bigger the deal, the bigger the risk.

GTA Online brought back drug dealing to some extent, allowing players to produce and sell drugs like cocaine.

While it wasn’t exactly the same, it seemed like Rockstar was testing the idea. Hopefully, this means we’ll see a full return of the drug dealing feature in GTA 6.

Final Thoughts

With GTA 6 set in Vice City, bringing back the drug dealing mechanic from Chinatown Wars would not only make sense for the story but also add an exciting and strategic element to the game.

Fans have missed this feature, and it could fit perfectly in the criminal world of GTA 6.
