	At six wanted stars, the [[Police Maverick]] is replaced with a second Annihilator, making escape from the search radius extremely difficult. The search area is approximately the size of the [[East Island\|Broker-Dukes island]] in Liberty City. More NOOSE Cruisers, Patriots, Enforcers and FIB Buffaloes pursue the player, with only a smattering of LCPD cruisers and patrol cars. The number of police patrols and police cruisers reduces so more FIB Buffaloes and NOOSE Enforcers can join the chase/shootout. Survival and escape is 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. The player must not hang around too long in a busy area of the city, or else they will rapidly lose ~~heath~~ due to the rooftop snipers. 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.

			A '''Wanted Level''' in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its expansions is a measure of how much the player is wanted by [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era\|Liberty City]] law enforcement, and therefore how much force will be used in pursuit of the player. As in previous games, the GTA IV's Wanted Level is measured on a six-star scale, ranking police lethality from the non-lethal one star to the extremely aggressive six stars.

	Relatively minor crimes committed within sight of the police may attract one star. Committing serious crimes is likely to earn multiple stars outright — for example, killing or wounding a police officer with a firearm results in an immediate three star Wanted Level, rather than a two star Wanted Level like in previous GTA games.

	At a three-star Wanted Level, police vehicles become more aggressive in their pursuit, attempting to pin the player's vehicle against buildings and run 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]]s and [[NOOSE Patriot]]s in pursuit of the player. NOOSE Patriots may attempt to ram the player from the front, putting the player and officer(s) inside 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, which can be heard on the radio as "Dispatch air unit from _______", The helicopter will shine a spotlight on the player at night and opening fire if officers on board get a clear shot. The helicopter, however, periodically breaks off from pursuit. The helicopter retreats if the player goes underground, stays inside a large structure for a long time, or kills both sharpshooters on board. In the Ballad of Gay Tony, sharpshooters are equipped with [[M249\|Advanced Machine Guns]] instead of [[~~AR-15~~\|Carbine Rifles]]. [[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]].
