'''[[:wp:Nitrous|Nitrous]]''', short for '''nitrous oxide''' (N2O) and sometimes abbreviated as '''nitro''', is used to boost the speed and acceleration of a vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. | '''[[:wp:Nitrous|Nitrous]]''', short for '''nitrous oxide''' (N2O) and sometimes abbreviated as '''nitro''', is used to boost the speed and acceleration of a vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. | ||

In GTA San Andreas, nitrous is a reusable vehicle component that can be installed on modifiable vehicles at any [[Mod Garages|mod garages]] in [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. Nitro comes in three "strengths", which include, in increasing order, 2x, shown with a small tank; 5x, with a large tank; and 10x, with a pair of small tanks. Increased nitrous strength provides a longer boosting duration. | In GTA San Andreas, nitrous is a reusable vehicle component that can be installed on modifiable vehicles at any [[Mod Garages|mod garages]] in [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].

Each depletion of nitrous is followed by a delay period when the nitrous tank "refills" and the player will not be able to use another boost right away. Players will be able to identify this by keeping tabs at the exhaust pipe(s), which will emit blue fumes while the nitrous refills. When the fumes no longer appear (releasing normal exhaust smoke instead), the player is allowed to use the nitrous again. An exploit exists that allows players to regain use of nitrous faster by simply exiting the car that is refilling its nitrous tank and immediately reentering it, thereby resetting the status of the nitrous tank and refilling the nitrous instantaneously. | Each depletion of nitrous is followed by a delay period when the nitrous tank "refills" and the player will not be able to use another boost right away.

==The Ballad of Gay Tony== | Players must be careful not to abuse the nitrous. Using nitrous near a police officer triggers a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|one-star wanted level]]. | ||
