Tramps are homeless people found in most of the Grand Theft Auto games. They have different appearences in different games and in Grand Theft Auto IV tramps will often ask the player for money.

Description

Each game in the GTA III and IV era has its own unique tramp models:

Grand Theft Auto III

Tramps usually wear grey jackets in GTA III and they walk strangely. Some tramps wear checkered hats that appear to have been cut off of a western shirt.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Tramps in Grand Theft Auto Vice City appear in 5 types. The first is a shoeless tramp with a brown jacket and red top. He has black pants and will attack the player if provoked. The second is a begger with a light brown tatterd shirt and dirty jeans, this beggar is also barefoot and will run away from the player if a fight is started. The third is a begger who is the same as the second begger exept his tatterd shirt is black. He is an Vietnam War Veteran who will make coments about the war if the player is around him. He too is a cowardly pedestrian who will run away from the player. The other two are hunchback women tramps, one with a green top and jeans and one with a yellow top, they will both fight back if provoked. Tramps are usually found in Little Haiti, Little Havana and the construction sites in Vice Point. Tramps also walk funny in this game.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

Tramps appear all throughout San Andreas, in many varieties, one appears in Los Santos, the majority appear in San Fierro, others appear elsewhere. Some tramps in San Andreas have signs on their chests saying odd things like; "Will bet for money", or "Will eat for food".

Sometimes tramps will attack you if provoked.

Grand Theft Auto IV

There are many different types of tramps in Grand Theft Auto IV. Most tramps wear light green or brown hoodies with random shirts underneath. Some Hobos have extremely ugly facial features such as one eye being completely white. The GTA IV version of Hobos dialogue in GTA IV is quite odd. Some talk about aliens, the government and illegal immigrants. Tramps may sometimes ask the player for money, the player can then give them $10. They can say things like: "Can someone make a donation please!?" ; "A small buck for the alien resistance"; and "Could you spare a dollar? I'm trying to get back to the office." Some tramps are genuine homeless people with nowhere to go. Other tramps are obvious drug addicts. Tramps are aggressive and will fight with their fists if provoked. Sometimes thy are even rude saying things like: "Fuck off you stupid fucking great alien fuck!"; and "Fuck you, reptillian"; or simply "Fuck you". Tramps are found all over Liberty City. They are found in populated areas such as Middle Park, The Golden Pier, and Star Junction. A few can be found in the subways, Sprunk Factory entrance beach, apartments, Firefly Island theme park, the northen beach in Northern Gardens, Bohan, the beach near the airport, and dark alleyways. Tramps can sometimes be found sleeping on the floor around Liberty City. Tramps can also be found around a drum of fire trying to warm themselves. A strange thing is that they can be seen driving cars sometimes.
