Garages in GTA 2: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:00, 3 June 2010

Garages in Grand Theft Auto 2 refer to a chain of garages that can be found in portions of every district in Anywhere City. The garages are a significant improvement from the basic spray shop prior, primarily used to either repair the player's car, clear wanted levels, or outfit the car with weaponry.

Much like in games before and after GTA 2, the player is required to drive in and out of a garage to use a service; like GTA 1, however, the player can simply use the garages like a drive-thru business, entering from the front and exiting at the back.

Services

There are a total of five different services available at the garage, one of which is only available in the Residential District and the Industrial District.

Name	Cost per use	Description
Smith and Weston	$25,000	Outfits the player's car with vehicle machine guns. The name of the garage is an obvious reference to Smith & Wesson, a real-life gun maker.
Gold Mines	$50,000	Outfits the player's car with 10 vehicle mines that can be dropped behind the car. The service is only available in the Residential and Industrial Districts.
Max Paynt	$5,000	Repairs the player's car while clearing the player's wanted levels, effectively the game's rendition of the spray shop. Depending on the location of the garage, the player can emerge with different car colors; garages close to or within a certain gang's territory will naturally recolor the player's car in the gang's color; other garages use more conventional ranges of colors. If the player enters a garage with a corresponding car color (i.e. driving a green car into a Max Paynt close to Loonies turf), the car emerges with the same color, while the player is simply notified that the car's license plate has been changed. Like in all games, government/law enforcement vehicles (and gang cars) cannot be resprayed, although buses are exempt from this rule. Taxis are not resprayed, instead, they have the plates changed. Coincidentally, the "Max Paynt" name is similar to that of Max Payne, which, as of the release of GTA 2 (1999), was still under development by Remedy Entertainment; Max Payne was not released until 2001.
Hell Oil	$10,000	Outfits the player's car with 10 rounds of oil slicks that can be dumped behind the car.
Red Army Surplus	$5,000	Arms the player's car with a time-delayed bomb which can be activated while pressing the "fire" command in the car.

-'''Max Paynt''' is a [[Spray Shop|spray shop]] the [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the equivalent of [[Pay 'n' Spray]] in future games in the series. The name bears an uncanny similarity to the [[wp:Max Payne|Max Payne]] video game series name - although the game was not released until 2001. The garage functions almost identically to the Pay 'n' Spray garages in later games - the only difference is that the player immediately loses their wanted level.
