Tear Gas: Difference between revisions

(what's with the mix up of "their" and "they are"?)
Line 1: Line 1:
In real life, '''tear gas''' is generally considered to be a non-lethal weapon, but in the world of GTA, it's anything but. Granted, it does take prolonged exposure to the gas to kill, but in confined spaces, this can be arranged. However, seeing as the gas causes people to stop what their doing while they cover their face and cough, the most practical use for this weapon is to slow enemies down while you escape or switch to another weapon. In any case, this stuff opens up some strategy options when it otherwise seems you're heavily outgunned.

In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'' and in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'', by deploying the Tear Gas too close to the player, he too, will lose health from the noxious gas, and the longer he stays there, the greater he loses his health, thus dying, much like other pedestrians. In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' Tear Gas can be used to attack pedestrians, while the player is unaffected and can freely walk around the gas, until the smoke subsides. By dropping more Tear Gas, the smoke will be longer and any pedestrians or cops enters the smoke will be choked on by the toxic gas until finally dying.

The Tear Gas is not meant to be obtained in later versions of GTA Vice City and in both GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories. However, the weapon is fully functional and can be obtained only by using trainers or [[modification]]s.
