Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Fists | You start with a pair of these. They deal very little damage. | |
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.
| |
Pistol | A basic pistol. Excellent for circle-strafing. Many shots will miss, but almost all of theirs will too.
| |
Uzi | Just like the pistol, allows run-and-gun but has horrendous accuracy for distance shooting.
| |
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.
| |
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.
| |
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.
| |
AK-47 | Similar to the uzi, except that it has longer range and is more accurate. You cannot run while firing this weapon.
| |
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.
| |
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.
| |
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.
| |
Flamethrower | Better control and aim than Molotovs, and significantly safer too. Useless against cars but quickly carbonises peds and Rhinos!
| |
Carbomb | Blast your enemies to smithereens with this carbomb. Set it, and run the heck away!
