'''Wasted''' is when a player is killed in a [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto game]] by losing all their [[health | '''Wasted''' is when a player is killed in a [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto game]] by losing all their [[Health|health]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the terms Wasted and [[Busted]] are not used, but the same effects take place for each. | ||
In the GTA III Era, the Wasted screen shows the player character's dead body with the camera aerially zooming away from them. However, when the player is wasted by [[Police|law enforcement]], the camera may show the officer who killed the player, along with the player. In GTA IV, the screen turns grayscale and slow-motion to emphasize the death scene. In GTA V, the Wasted screen shows the fallen character in motion for one second, then turns grayscale and slower with the word <font color="red">'''Wasted'''</font> in the center of the screen. | |||

== Effects == | |||
As a result of being Wasted in the [[GTA III Era]] (except for [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]] where you can bribe the hospital staff to keep the [[weapons]] you'd normally lose. Additionally, in the [[iOS]] and [[Android]] versions of GTA III, you will never lose your weapons after being wasted or busted, only $1,000 and armor will be removed. From GTA IV onwards, weapons will never be removed.) the player will lose all of their weapons and $100 ($1,000 in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]]), the same as for being [[Busted]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] onwards, however, the player is fined 10% of their money ($10,000 max) and gets to keep their weapons, and in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], if you date [[Katie Zhan]] (a nurse) you are able to keep your weapons upon death. In all games, any mission the player was on will be failed. | |||
== Popular culture == | |||
GTA V's Wasted screen has become extremely popular among gamers to the point of becoming an internet meme, normally in the result of videos showing people/animals doing something futile which ends with the same "Wasted" screen. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSilIwlqZXM example video: "Wasted in real life"]) | |||
