Nipper .38
A compact pistol visible in Lucia's hand on the official GTA 6 cover art, with the name 'Nipper .38' readable on the weapon. It also appears in Rockstar's official Artwork gallery. Reported by PC Gamer, iGeeksBlog, and GTABase. In-game stats and availability are unconfirmed until launch.
Lucia holds a compact pistol on the official GTA 6 cover art, and the name 'Nipper .38' is legible on the weapon. Rockstar's own Media section under Artwork shows the same firearm in greater detail, with slide markings that IMFDB, a community firearms wiki, reads as indicating the gun was produced in Brazil.
PC Gamer and iGeeksBlog both identified the Nipper .38 by name from Rockstar's official imagery. GTABase lists it as based on the Taurus PT 938 or the Bersa Firestorm 380, both compact semi-automatics chambered in .380 ACP, while PC Gamer suggests the SIG P226 or the Bersa. Taurus is a Brazilian maker, which would fit the Brazil marking. These identifications are community-sourced. Some outlets have described it as a revolver, but the cover art shows a semi-automatic.
Weapon stats, upgrades, and in-game availability have not been confirmed by Rockstar. How it fits into the broader GTA 6 pistol lineup alongside the Girardi ES9, Klose K17, and other confirmed handguns is unknown until launch.
