Zip-ties are the plastic strips with a one way ratchet that tighten and lock in place, normally used to bundle cables or seal boxes. The same simple design makes them a common stand-in for handcuffs, since police forces use a heavier version called flex cuffs for exactly that job. In GTA 6, Zip-ties appeared in the leaked files from September 2022, suggesting a restraint tool for holding NPCs still during a job. Because the item comes from leaked data rather than anything Rockstar has shown, there is no official word on how it works in play. It might tie into a stealth approach, a heist step, or a scripted scene, but that is guesswork built on a file reference rather than a confirmed mechanic. Until Rockstar addresses it directly, Zip-ties stay a leak, not a promised feature.
