Criminal Profiles in GTA 6 Explained

Criminal Profiles is similar to Red Dead Redemption 2's Honor System - except Criminal Profiles represent what type of criminal you are. There are four known states: Professional, Aggressive, Violent, and Psycho. There's a fifth unknown state after Psycho, which permanently locks the profile for that playthrough.

Maintaining a Professional profile means showing restraint and control while you commit crimes. The more unnecessary violence and killings you choose to do, the more your Profile changes. Throughout the game, you will move between different states, which can be seen on screen and in the character menu.
