GTA 6's Criminal Profile Runs From Professional to Psycho
GTA 6 keeps score of what kind of criminal you are. From TGG's three-hour preview at Rockstar North, the Criminal Profile has four states, and pushing past the last one breaks it.
What it changes in the game
The four states are Professional, Aggressive, Violent and Psycho. Restraint, few deaths and clean escapes keep you Professional; killing and chaos push you down the scale. Press preview [1]
Go far enough and the profile icon cracks, then shatters, and stays locked that way for the rest of the playthrough. Press preview [1]
Jason and Lucia each have their own profile, so one can stay Professional while the other turns Psycho. Press preview [1]
The notifications can be switched off, and ignoring the system brings no forced penalty. Press preview [1]
Still unknown: What each state changes in the game, beyond the label.
