!Icon||Name||Description

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon fist.png]]

||{{a|Fists}}||You start with a pair of these. They deal very little damage.

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon baseball bat.png]]  

||{{a|Baseball Bat}}||Deals a decent amount of damage and knocks people down. Hit them a couple of times while they're down to ensure they stay there.

* Found at every Hideout.

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon pistol.png]]

||{{a|Pistol}}||A basic pistol. Excellent for circle-strafing. Many shots will miss, but almost all of theirs will too.

* Hideout after collecting 10 Hidden Packages

* St. Marks Ammu-Nation, $250 after [[File:GTA3 Icon Luigi.png]] [[../Pump-Action Pimp/]]

* on a ledge beside the bridge, you might spot this during [[../Give Me Liberty/]]

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon uzi.png]]  

||{{a|Uzi}}||Just like the pistol, allows run-and-gun but has horrendous accuracy for distance shooting.

* Hideout after collecting 20 Hidden Packages

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon grenade.png]]

||{{a|Grenades}}||Excellent damage—if your throw is good enough. Watch where each lob goes, if you accidentally let one drop at your feet you're probably a goner. Once you have the respawning pickups from the packages you won't need to worry about wasting them if you miss.

* Newport Ammu-Nation, $2000

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon shotgun.png]]  

||{{a|Shotgun}}||Extremely powerful, can take down almost any foe in a single hit. Beware when using on vehicles though, as two blasts of this in succession will make a car explode instantly rather than catch on fire first. Only the Rocket Launcher surpasses its anti-vehicle power. Unfortunately you can't run with the shotgun, leaving you quite vulnerable to enemies both when escaping and reloading.

It is possible to achieve a faster rate of fire; on the PC it is done by rapidly clicking the mouse (this works best in the ''GTA: Liberty City'' mod) while on the PS2 and Xbox the sawn-off instantly reloads when you hit the target button so you can exploit this to level a group of enemies in a few seconds.

* Hideout after collecting 40 Hidden Packages

* Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus, $1500 after completing [[File:GTA3 Icon Ray.png]] [[../Arms Shortage/]].

* North of the pier to the west of the Liberty Tree Offices in Staunton Island, where you do [[File:GTA3 Icon Asuka.png]] [[../S.A.M./]]

* Behind the Hepburn Heights apartments, near where you picked up Misty in [[File:GTA3 Icon Luigi.png]] [[../Drive Misty For Me/]]

* Behind the monument in Belleville Park (adjacent to Ray's toilets)

| [[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon molotov.png]]  

||{{a|Molotovs}}||Excellent for roasting peds and Rhino tanks but virtually useless against other vehicles. Again, be careful when throwing these as their flames spread quickly over a wide radius.

* In the hands of the tramps in the abandoned rail tunnel connecting 8-Ball's Bomb Shop with the Supa Save (notice they're drinking the molotovs!)

| [[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon AK-47.png]]

||{{a|AK-47}}||Similar to the uzi, except that it has longer range and is more accurate. You cannot run while firing this weapon.

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon sniper rifle.png]]  

||{{a|Sniper Rifle}}||A Rifle with an excellent zoom capability, this weapon is great for taking out enemies at long distances, especially if they are packing Shotguns, AKs, M-16s and the like. You cannot run while holding or firing the weapon.

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon M4.png]]  

||{{a|M-16}}||Talk about lethal, the M-16 is one of the most feared weapons in the game (second only to the rocket launcher) it uses a first-person crosshair for aiming and is powerful enough to takeout most vehicles (even helicopters!) Unfortunately; you cannot run while holding or firing the weapon.

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon rocket launcher.png]]

||{{a|Rocket Launcher}}||The most deadly weapon of all. Its weaknesses are its excessive weight and the ever-present danger of a nearby object getting in the way of your target and turning both of you into ashes. Cannot fire when not zoomed in.

* Hideout after collecting all Hidden Packages

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon flamethrower.png]]

||{{a|Flamethrower}}||Better control and aim than Molotovs, and significantly safer too. Useless against cars but quickly carbonises peds and Rhinos!

* Hideout after completing Firefighter vehicle mission level 12

|[[Image:Grand Theft Auto III weapon carbomb.png]]  

||{{a|Carbomb}}||Blast your enemies to smithereens with this carbomb. Set it, and run the heck away!

*{{a|Ignition Carbomb}}: Available from 8-Ball's Bomb Shop, Portland.

*{{a|Timed Carbomb}}: Available from 8-Ball's Bomb Shop, Staunton Island.

*{{a|Remote-Control Carbomb}}: Available from 8-Ball's Bomb Shop, Shoreside Vale.
