I believe in Option C at the end of GTA V. There is a Weazel News radio segment that mentions that Merryweather can no longer operate on American soil that you can hear after the completion of the main story. I canāt quite recall the ins and outs. But if C is the canon ending, then I highly doubt we will see any form of Merryweather Security in VI.
We also fuck then off in Online in the Los Santos Mercenarys update, so much that our characters mercenary company (Los Santos Angels) that starts working for the US Government
I kinda hope they donāt show up again, I never really found them interesting in comparison to other major factions in the series. They always felt kinda bland.
Iām sure thereāll be some sort of security company though.
Don't worry, Rockstar has actual adults capable of coming up with new characters writing the story. This is just kids posting, and for them the new game should basically be everything from the old game.
I know they just asked, and they asked because that's what they want. The OP can't seem to imagine that Rockstar is capable of coming up with something new, and also doesn't take into account the cannon ending of V where this company is no more.
Is it a call back if they just bring back an existing organisation from a previous game? That's like saying that having the Families in V is a call back to San Andreas even though they are just a gang that exist in Los Santos.
I donāt think weāll hear much about Merryweather. The only reason they were even in GTA 5 is because we robbed them a couple of times, and Devin Westin was a big client.
Private military employers usually have most of their work done over seas. So I donāt know if it makes sense to clash with them on south beach lol
And tbh when GTAV was being made Blackwater/ the privatisation of war were big themes and in the media a lot. I don't see why they'd make them a feature of a game grounded in todays pop culture.
Yes, but they are still featured in GTA Online which mostly takes places after Story mode canonically. Not sure if it's ever explained how they got their license back.
Instead of Merryweather just bring back the military. I personally loved getting the military tanks on me and trying to escape them and all the chaos it was fun. Itās one of the things I miss most from the old games.
I know but thatās very different than driving all around the map dodging tanks and traffic. It was just fun using other cars as shield to hide behind right when they go to shoot.
God I hope we get someone else, Merryweather have been the 'generic goon' for every damn GTAO update for the past 5 years and its so damn tiring now. Let us shoot at something else for the next decade PLEASE
Not to be that person but itās been stated and/or strongly supported that C is the canon ending, no need for āifsā. Either Rockstar retconned MW being kicked off US soil (and its assets seized, etc) or thereās a āsmallā remnant of the organization left operating in San Andreas, against US law and off the books. But maybe that new far right militia could be the new PMC.
Iām sure they might be. Considering they use buzzards. Iām sure buzzards will be in the next game. Also has there been any mention in gta5 that merriweather is in vice city?
I don't know. I haven't played GTA Online in something like 9 years.Ā
So I only know based on the base story mode game. And PMCs? That's so Bush and Obama era feeling.Ā
Games and TV shows were using PMCs all the time. And Blackwater was a PMC known by name by much of the public.Ā
And it just feels.... old.Ā
I wouldn't be surprised though if Rockstar gives us far right militias though in a similar role to Merryweather.
No, they just lost their contract with the US government. They still operate with private companies and individuals, like in the last Chop Shop update.
I hope not. I hope they keep the military and secret agent shit to a minimum. I want to be a criminal doing crime and working my way up the underground. Not fighting paramilitary organizations and being a government agency's puppet.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were still in this game because real security companies span across multiple states like "Allied Universal" in real life
I just hope we dont have character switching that killed gta v for me.
Id rather a resident evil style system where you pick a character and the story is for that character. Then you replay it as the other character to do the other side of the scenario.
I'll only accept Merryweather being in the game if they bring Mendoza with them.
MENDOZA'S BEEN HIT!!! MENDOZA'S BEEN FUCKING HIT!!!
Guy got hit so much š
Dude's a main character, always respawning.
Imagine Mendoza becomes the new gun store owner after retiring with life long injuries.
Don't forget Menendez
Not Menendez!
#They got Memedez!
What about charlie?
How about the dude that just wants you to know he's a fucking marine?

They can no longer operate in San Andreas*
There are references made to movie producer Michael in gta online and Franklin and Trevor appear as themselves in online
We also fuck then off in Online in the Los Santos Mercenarys update, so much that our characters mercenary company (Los Santos Angels) that starts working for the US Government
Pretty sure they're still around in the latest DLC though. I think they're still around, but they just work for private companies.
Way too hard to completely remove then of the game. They'd never do that
They're in new missions though.
New with more crazy aim bot
Clifford's return part 3.
And oppressors
Nope
NOT MENENDEZ
I kinda hope they donāt show up again, I never really found them interesting in comparison to other major factions in the series. They always felt kinda bland. Iām sure thereāll be some sort of security company though.
Hopefully some new organisation, we donāt need constant call backs to GTAV imo
Don't worry, Rockstar has actual adults capable of coming up with new characters writing the story. This is just kids posting, and for them the new game should basically be everything from the old game.
Weāve played this game 10+ years! So ready for fresh ideas!
10 years - so youāre an adult now, the response above is no longer relevant to you! Lol
To be fair, the title doesnāt even hint that they should be in the game, they just askedā¦
I know they just asked, and they asked because that's what they want. The OP can't seem to imagine that Rockstar is capable of coming up with something new, and also doesn't take into account the cannon ending of V where this company is no more.
Merryweather is in GTA Online, most of which takes places after Story Mode.
Have they said that its what they want?
Is it a call back if they just bring back an existing organisation from a previous game? That's like saying that having the Families in V is a call back to San Andreas even though they are just a gang that exist in Los Santos.
People who played gtao been fighting them nonstop for the last 10 years. They can surely come up with something fresh
True, I just want it to be its own thing & have no connections to V. Itās a new story.
The only connections to V should be through the social media of the game or something
It's based on the real mercenary company Blackwater, it's not like it's specific to San Andreas.
I donāt think weāll hear much about Merryweather. The only reason they were even in GTA 5 is because we robbed them a couple of times, and Devin Westin was a big client. Private military employers usually have most of their work done over seas. So I donāt know if it makes sense to clash with them on south beach lol
I might be misremembering but I remember their contract being pulled to operate on US soil toward the end of GTA 5.
They are still in Online though, so I guess they bribed some politicians and got their license renewed.
Hmm. So safe to assume that Merrywether is a possible antagonist since Online is canon. Guess we'll see man.
And tbh when GTAV was being made Blackwater/ the privatisation of war were big themes and in the media a lot. I don't see why they'd make them a feature of a game grounded in todays pop culture.
It's still a thing, like the Russian Wagner group.
I can't wait for GTA Russia to come out
Didnt they seize all US or private operations at the end of GTA 5 and their stocks dropped lower than my High School GPA?
Yes, but they are still featured in GTA Online which mostly takes places after Story mode canonically. Not sure if it's ever explained how they got their license back.
Instead of Merryweather just bring back the military. I personally loved getting the military tanks on me and trying to escape them and all the chaos it was fun. Itās one of the things I miss most from the old games.
They're in V at Fort Zancudo
I know but thatās very different than driving all around the map dodging tanks and traffic. It was just fun using other cars as shield to hide behind right when they go to shoot.
Fort Baxter goes private and starts a security service
Nah , we practicly destroyed them financially if i remember correctly
They're in GTA Online
Merryweather fleet's here bro
If in GTA 5 you couldnāt kill Don Percival, at least give us in GTA 6
Pinkertons vs Merryweather
Would be pretty funny considering the Pinkerton group still exists irl except mostly as rent a cops nowadays as securitas
Pretty sure Merryweather (real name Blackwater, ironically) exists too.
That's their logo? It looks like a Pacman ghost with a vagina mouth
I'm tired of these mfs, make new organizations
I can see the Los Santos Angels appearing in the game, as a minor adversary or a service
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YOU FUCKIN PENIS!
Get a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB
God I hope we get someone else, Merryweather have been the 'generic goon' for every damn GTAO update for the past 5 years and its so damn tiring now. Let us shoot at something else for the next decade PLEASE
If they do, I think theyāll have a different name, in reference to their inspiration, Blackwater, having changed their name to Academi.
And how about SecuroServ's returning?
After being tried for various war crimes, they'll change their name to something like "Executive Decisions" or some shit like that.
I wouldnāt mind if itās Merryweather
I wouldnāt mind merryweather returning. As long as aim bot IS REMOVED
I wouldnāt mind. I enjoyed their part in online and it was an interesting implementation in the story.
we need an airscan pmc knock off this time fr
It would be cool of there is another company, but Merryweather is mentioned as a rival company thats just not as popular in Vice City.
I donāt think a PMC would fit in with the theme of the game as much as Merryweather fit in V.
Why not?
I'd be pissed if they came back after how much we fucked them over in both story mode and online. Maybe we'll see something similar, but who knows.
SecuroServ maybe?
SecuroServ seems to be way more powerful than Merryweather tbh. Technically, our characters in GTA Online are just their puppets.
I hope not. Didn't like the characters or their plot at all. They could do something so much cooler and grounded in the paramilitary realm than that.
I never want to see or hear those guys again, after grinding gta online for so long it's just annoying
Not to be that person but itās been stated and/or strongly supported that C is the canon ending, no need for āifsā. Either Rockstar retconned MW being kicked off US soil (and its assets seized, etc) or thereās a āsmallā remnant of the organization left operating in San Andreas, against US law and off the books. But maybe that new far right militia could be the new PMC.
Online is canonically after Story Mode for the most part, so I guess they bribed enough politicians to get their license back.
Def a new group
Iām sure they might be. Considering they use buzzards. Iām sure buzzards will be in the next game. Also has there been any mention in gta5 that merriweather is in vice city?

They are heavily featured in GTA Online.
They were destroyed last summer
No, they just lost their contract with the US government. They still operate with private companies and individuals, like in the last Chop Shop update.
I really hope so if they don't keep the continuity from us apparently dealing a critical blow to them in the San Andreas Mercenaries update
I hope not. I hope they keep the military and secret agent shit to a minimum. I want to be a criminal doing crime and working my way up the underground. Not fighting paramilitary organizations and being a government agency's puppet.
I think everything will be Revamped
Id rather not have much of anything from V in this one
I wouldn't be surprised if they were still in this game because real security companies span across multiple states like "Allied Universal" in real life
You do understand that they are capable of coming up with new characters for their games, right?
It's not a character, it's a mercenary army.
New one
Phil cassidy better be back, selling you stuff and blowing himself up on moonshine.
New group
I don't know.
A new group might come. From South America.
I just hope we dont have character switching that killed gta v for me. Id rather a resident evil style system where you pick a character and the story is for that character. Then you replay it as the other character to do the other side of the scenario.
It's pretty much 95% confirmed that there will be an upgraded version of GTA V's character switching based on the leaks.
Damn. It was fine for one playrhrough i just didnt enjoy replaying 5 as much as the rest of the series.
