| |
| Prior to [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], players must have any [[Sub Machine Gun|sub-machine gun]] in hand in order to perform drive by shooting. While in a vehicle, the player may look left or right to view the target and take aim, then fire their weapon, discharging bullets to the target.
| |
| | |
| The aforementioned concept has remained the same between GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], but underwent several changes. From [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] onwards, players are also allowed to shoot forward while on a motorbike or bicycle, which is usually far more effective than conventional drive-by shooting in cars due to the player being able to watch the road ''and'' shoot at a target at the same time; "drive-by" shooting on boats are made possible. [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and GTA Vice City Stories allows for non-player passengers of a car to perform drive-by shooting, shooting with [[pistol]]s or sub-machine guns; however, the effectiveness of this feature is dependent on how close the car is to targets.
| |
| | |
| The ability for the player to shoot as a passenger was first explored in GTA Vice City, during "[[Phnom Penh '86]]" (positioned on the side of a [[Maverick]]) and "[[Supply & Demand|Supply & Demand]]" (positioned on the back of a [[Squalo]]), when the player is able to free-aim, but use only weapons with first-person view (the [[M-60]] and [[Ruger]]); for GTA San Andreas, free-aiming third person view is additionally utilized while the player is seated as a passenger in a motorbike and a car, during "[[Just Business]]" and "[[End of the Line]]", but only allows for sub-machine guns to be used.

| === GTA IV ===
| |
| As Grand Theft Auto IV was developed, drive-by shooting mechanics were retooled to allow for more flexible aiming and improved accuracy. The player may aim their weapon freely while driving; the "look left" and "look right" commands were removed in favor of an analog stick-based/mouse-based camera. Also, drive-bys were extended to being possible out of helicopters and on boats with assault rifles, and out of any other vehicle.
| |
| | |
| While the choices of weapons for use in drive-by shooting is still limited, the player can now either use a sub-machine gun or pistol, and grenades or [[Molotov Cocktail]] can actually be dropped from vehicles, useful for blowing up pursuers. [[The Lost and Damned]] also introduced the ability to fire a [[sawn-off shotgun]] while riding motorcycles. However, even with the ability to use a sawed-off shotgun, drive-bys on motorcycles is highly discouraged, as the player is fully exposed and vulnerable to gunfire.
| |
| | |
| Overall, the Micro Uzi in GTA IV and TLAD is the best weapon for drive-bys in cars with its incredible rate of fire, while the the [[Gold SMG]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] is the best weapon available. The M4 carbine is most suited for passengers on aircraft and boats, but the accuracy of gunfire from a helicopter or on a boat is often abysmal due to difficulty in aiming (due to rapid movement of the vehicle) and a limited field of view.
