After becoming friends, the player may engage in specific activities with that [[Characters in GTA IV|character]], including bowling, going to a strip club, and going for a [[Pißwasser]] beer. From that point onward, the player may either call their friend on Niko's [[Cell Phone]] or send emails to hang out. Hanging out with friends is a fun way to work on relationships with certain characters so that eventually their "friend benefits" are unlocked. Niko can also increase his friendships through certain storyline missions. | ||

Like girlfriends in previous GTA games, friends provide special benefits if their "like" percentage reaches 80% (they will call you to offer their particular ability). You can lose these benefits if their "like" percentage fall below 80%; when you raise the level again, you will get a text message. | Like girlfriends in previous GTA games, friends provide special benefits if their "like" percentage reaches 80% (they will call you to offer their particular ability).
