	Measurement of health on [[Heads-Up Display\|HUD]]s was not prominent in [[Grand Theft Auto 1\|the original Grand Theft Auto]], as the game has no indication of the player's health - players can easily die from a single gunshot, burning fire, or splash damage from an explosion. [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], however, gave players indication of the health for the first time, measuring it using a 5-heart gauge, with each heart denoted as full, half-sized, and depleted, thus giving the health a 10-level scale.

	For [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]], a numbered counter, with its default maximum as 100%, is used. For other games from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] onwards, however, a health bar substitutes the counter.

	Many things can damage the player's health: being shot, stabbed, or beaten, fire, explosives, being struck by a vehicle, drowning, being thrown from a [[~~Vehicles\|vehicle~~]], and falling from heights. When the player's health is completely depleted, the protagonist is considered "[[wasted]]", and is then transported to the nearest [[Hospitals\|hospital]], after which a fee for healthcare will be assessed, and all weapons confiscated (except in the [[iOS]] and [[Android]] versions of GTA III, when dating [[Katie Zhan]] in GTA San Andreas, and from GTA IV onwards). Any mission that may have been in progress at the time is considered as failed.

	Measurement of health on [[Heads-Up Display\|HUD]]s was not prominent in [[Grand Theft Auto 1\|the original Grand Theft Auto]], as the game has no indication of the player's health - players can easily die from a single gunshot, burning fire, or splash damage from an explosion. [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], however, gave players indication of the health for the first time, measuring it using a 5-heart gauge, with each heart denoted as full, half-sized, and depleted, thus giving the health a 10-level scale.
