-'''Binoculars''' are an item appearing only in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. Their only use is to zoom in and view far away places. They are superior to the [[Sniper Rifle]] for simple viewing, as their view is uncluttered by cross hairs. This item is first used during the mission "[[Leap and Bound]]".

+'''[[wp:Binoculars|Binoculars]]''' are viewing devices used to see or spot object in long distances. In the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, binoculars are only available as an independent "weapon" in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], and in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], where it is depiced as a non-interactive/cinematic prop, or as a fixed, coin-operated [[wp:tower viewer|tower viewer]].

+The binocular's first-person view functionality is very similar to the viewfinder feature on [[camera]]s as well as various sniper scopes.

+In GTA Vice City Stories, the binoculars only used to zoom in and view far away places. They are superior to the [[Sniper Rifle]] for simple viewing, as their view is uncluttered by cross hairs. This item is first used during the mission "[[Leap and Bound]]". If the player presses the attack button while equipped with the binoculars, [[Victor Vance]] start punching the air and if that is done in front of a pedestrian, his hands will just go through the pedestrian's body and not actually do any damage. Binoculars can only be found on top of the ship in [[Viceport]].
+== GTA IV ==
+Interactive binocular are available in the form of [[wp:Tower Optical|Tower Optical]]-style [[wp:tower viewer|tower viewer]]s that are commonly found along scenic piers in [[Algonquin]] and the top of the [[Rotterdam Tower]]; each use of any tower viewer costs the player $1. Because they are not portable, the tower viewers are often only useful for sightseeing purposes, and have little practical use in normal gameplay.
+Non-interactive binoculars are also featured in specific missions in GTA IV. In "[[Deconstruction for Beginners]]" [[Playboy X]] uses a set of binoculars to spot union members who have taken over [[Yusuf Amir|Yusuf Amir's]] [[Castle Gardens]] construction site. They also appear in "[[Buoys Ahoy]]", when the first-person frame texture taken from the tower viewers is used as a stand-in for portable binoculars used by [[Niko Bellic]] and [[Bernie Crane]] to spot [[Dimitri Rascalov|Dimitri Rascalov's]] hitmen.
