Smarter Police AI and Wanted System: The police AI is rumored to be vastly improved, making pursuits more challenging and unpredictable. The wanted system extends beyond simple stars, with police response dynamically adapting to player actions and crime severity.

Witness and Civilian Involvement: Civilians will reportedly play a crucial role. Police may interrogate witnesses at crime scenes to gather information, and returning to a scene could mark the player as a "person of interest" based on civilian descriptions.

Advanced Police Tactics: Law enforcement units are expected to employ diverse tactics. Leaks suggest K9 units, tear gas, riot shields, and coordinated roadblocks. Officers will reportedly identify player vehicles and strategize to cut off escape routes.

Tactical Escalation: NOOSE and FIB units will reportedly attack in waves, escalating the intensity of confrontations. The military might even employ suppressive fire, grenades, and tactical teams to pin down players at higher wanted levels.

Persistent Manhunts and Recognition: Unlike previous titles, escaping the police might not completely reset your record. Leaks suggest persistent manhunts where your character's description or vehicle could be recognized, requiring tactical changes like disguises or vehicle swaps.

Dynamic NPC Reactions: Non-playable characters will reportedly react more naturally to crimes, potentially recording incidents on their phones or calling the police, further complicating escapes and adding layers to the wanted system.

Environmental Awareness: Police AI will reportedly leverage environmental factors and surveillance. This could include utilizing CCTV cameras for identification and having a nuanced response based on whether a crime occurred in a surveillance-heavy area or not.
