	At a two-star wanted level, the police start actively searching for the player. Officers now shoot to kill, including when you're unarmed, and each patrol car is occupied by two officers. Officers in cars now give chase rather than simply follow behind and often try to overtake or spin the player out. On water, [[Predator\|armed police boats]] give chase.

	At six stars, the [[Military\|National Guard]] will take over from the FBI and will give chase in the heavy and slow [[Barracks OL]] trucks and [[Rhino]] tanks, making travel in ordinary vehicles extremely hazardous. Civilians have almost completely disappeared from the streets at this point (in GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets), and the soldiers drive with total disregard for anything but ramming the player into oblivion. Roadblocks now consist of Barracks OL trucks. At six stars, police helicopters rule the skies, the sea is thick with police boats and in addition to the army, police officers are everywhere — appearing from all directions in large numbers. If the player cannot get to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] with a suitable vehicle, stealing a [[Rhino\|tank]] or taking to the skies in a helicopter and trying to pick up police bribes around the city are often the only practical options for reducing a six-star wanted level. The Army soldiers carry [[M16]]s in GTA III, even though they can also use [[pistol]]s and drop [[grenades]] when killed; [[MP5]]s in GTA Vice City, Liberty City Stories, and Vice City Stories; and [[M16\|M4]]s in GTA San Andreas. Unlike in the story mode where enemies often miss, the soldiers are pinpoint crackshots, and a gunfight is considered suicide as the army will take the player down very fast. Unlike the FBI, soldiers always come in pairs instead of groups of four, making them somewhat easier to fight than the FBI. Survival and escape is the most difficult, and a very fast and/or durable vehicle is recommended. All law enforcement vehicles fire upon and ram the player relentlessly with very little regard for collateral damage. On foot, the player must move and/or retaliate quickly to avoid being cut down by gunfire; however, fleeing is the better option when pitted against several officers.

	At a five-star wanted level, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation\|FBI]] takes over the chase and completely replaces local police on the ground (local police will still chase the player if they see him) and the streets begin to clear of civilians (in GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets). Four-member teams of heavily armed and armored FBI agents drive armored cars and SUVs ([[FBI Car]] in GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance\|Advance]], [[FBI Rancher]] in GTA Vice City and San Andreas, [[FBI Cruiser]] in GTA Liberty City Stories, and [[FBI Washington]] in GTA Vice City Stories) and make for formidable opponents. The FBI agents are armed with [[AK-47]]s and 9mm handguns in [[Grand Theft Auto III\|GTA III]] and [[MP5]]s in later games. Their driving is even more aggressive and they usually opt to ram the player's vehicle head on at high speed and then batter it to pieces before he/she can recover. In [[Grand Theft Auto III\|GTA III]], the pursuing police helicopter is joined by a second, and both stick to the player doggedly and fire at the protagonist whenever they get the chance. The roadblocks now consist of FBI vehicles, which are easier to ram through, but the FBI agents' MP5s tear through most [[vehicles]] fairly quickly. The waters are saturated with [[Predator]]s at this wanted-level. Trespassing inside a military base will release a five star wanted level and cops swarm in and attempt to kill the player. The FBI 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 is especially not recommended. All officers employ more advanced driving techniques, such as the PIT maneuver, as they try to make the player spin out of control and crash.

	The five-star wanted level is considered by many players to be the most difficult wanted level in the entire GTA III era, as FBI agents always spawn in groups of four, drive very fast vehicles, and carry very strong weapons. This is in contrast to the six-star wanted level, where the [[military]] only spawn in groups of two and drive the slower [[Barracks OL]] and [[Rhino]]. The main dangers are the stronger weapons and the run overs from Rhinos.
