How weapons work in GTA 2
GTA 2 expanded the arsenal considerably. Alongside the pistol, submachine gun and rocket launcher, it added the shotgun, flamethrower, Molotov cocktails, grenades, silenced submachine gun, dual pistols and an electro gun that hits several targets at once.
Vehicle weapons are another new feature. You can have a car fitted with a machine gun, mines or an oil slick, for example — transforming a chase with the police or a gang.
Weapons in GTA 2 also affect your relationships with gangs. Shooting members of a gang costs you respect with that gang, closing off access to its missions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most powerful weapon in GTA 2?
The rocket launcher for vehicles and crowds; at close range against a group of enemies, the electro gun, which hits several targets at once.
Can cars be armed in GTA 2?
Yes. You can have a vehicle fitted with a machine gun, mines or an oil slick, for example.
Why did a gang start attacking me?
You lose respect by shooting its members. Below a certain level, the gang treats you as an enemy and its missions become unavailable to you.
