Revision as of 02:57, 11 February 2008 by gtw>Gta3vcsalcsvcs4

Gang Warfare is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that begins after you complete Doberman. Taking over enemy gang territory earns you nore Respect and Money. It is not required for 100% completion.

The Gang territories in San Andreas are denoted by colored areas on the map.

Gang Color
Ballas Purple
Grove Street Families Green
Los Santos Vagos Yellow
Varrio Los Aztecas Cyan
San Fierro Rifas Cyan
San Fierro Triads Red
Da Nang Boys N/A
Mafia N/A

You will earn 6% respect for each territory you control, plus 3% "Running Respect." You lose the "Running Respect" if you lose a territory. You can also earn "Running Respect" by killing enemy gang members. A Grove Street Families member's death causes a loss of running respect nearly as great as losing a territory.

Taking Over Enemy Territory

To take over an enemy gang's territory, simply enter the territory and start attacking gang members. Once you've killed four gang members, you will be notified that a gang war has begun. Health and Armor pickups spawn in the streets, and the first wave of gang members will move in on you.

There are a total of three waves of enemies you must defeat. Doing so will win the gang war and cause the territory to fall under Grove Street Families control, with Grove Street members beginning to wander the area.

Defending Grove Street Territory

When a Grove Street Families territory is attacked by an enemy gang, the area flashes red on the map, and a flag appears on your radar. You'll also receive a pop up warning of the attack.

All enemy gang members will be present and marked on your radar. If you do not defend the territory, you will lose it to the attacking gang, and you will lose Respect.

Recruiting Gang Members

You can recruit gang members. Once they are recruited, you have the option of either calling them to you, having them stay put, or allowing them to scatter. If your respect is above 1%, you can recruit 2 members; above 10%, 3 members; above 20%, 4 members; above 40%, 5 members; above 60%, 6 members, above 80%, 7 members.

If a gang members is following you, they will attack any person that attacks you. They will also attack anyone you attack. If you attack an enemy gang member, your gang member will attack any member of that gang.
