At a three star Wanted level, police vehicles become more aggressive in their pursuit, attempting to pin the player's vehicle against buildings and ram them off the road.  [[NOOSE]] now begin to assist the LCPD in setting up roadblocks on main roads and bridges; they also send [[NOOSE Cruiser|NOOSE Cruisers]] and [[NOOSE Patriot|NOOSE Patriots]] in pursuit of the player.  NOOSE Patriots may attempt to ram the player from the front, putting the player at risk of [[Involuntary Ejection|a windshield ejection from their vehicle]]. Strong, fast vehicles are recommended -- motorcycles are not suggested, due to the aggressive driving of the police.  Officers on foot now use [[Pump Action Shotgun]]s against the player.

A [[Police Maverick|police helicopter]] is now called in, shining a spotlight on the player at night and opening fire if officers on board get a clear shot. The helicopter, however, has limited fuel and periodically breaks off from pursuit.  The helicopter retreats if the player goes underground or kills both riflemen on board. [[Predator|Police boats]] are dispatched if the player is in or near water. Like the Police Maverick, the Predator has a sharpshooter on board. The player is now unable to board the [[Subway in GTA IV|subway]].

At four Wanted stars, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FIB]] and [[NOOSE]]'s Tactical Response Unit join the fray, and the player is confronted by [[Enforcer#GTA_IV|NOOSE Enforcers]] and [[FIB Buffalo|FIB Buffaloes]] in addition to the previously mentioned forces.  Tactical Response Unit officers and FIB agents come four to a vehicle and are typically armed with Carbine Rifles, although some agents carry [[SMG]]s and Pump Action Shotguns, and wear body armor for protection.  It is speculated that a player's vehicle of choice will dictate the police vehicles spawned -- FIB Buffaloes dispatched when the player is in a small, quick car, and NOOSE Enforcers dispatched when the player is in a larger vehicle.  None of this speculation is confirmed; sometimes, both services chase the player.

Note: In The Ballad of Gay Tony, all law enforcement officers start firing upon the player while in pursuit at this level, and NOOSE and FIB officers use [[Assault SMG]]s and [[Explosive Shotgun|Automatic Shotguns]] as well as the aforementioned weapons against the player.

At five Wanted stars, the [[Police Maverick]] is accompanied by a [[Annihilator|NOOSE Annihilator]]. All law enforcement fire upon the player while in pursuit, making getaways difficult — FIB or NOOSE are particularly perilous to engage, as their SMGs are likely to make short work of the player's getaway vehicle. Due the increased risk of being shot to death, use of a motorcycle as a getaway vehicle at this level and beyond is especially not recommended. All officers employ more advanced driving techniques, such the PIT maneuver, as they try to make the player spin out of control and crash.  NOOSE/FIB cooperation is more apparent at this level, both forces spawning and pursuing the player in equal numbers.
