===Benefits===
Like girlfriends in previous GTA games, friends provide special benefits if you get "like" up to 80%. After that, you will get a call announcing that you have unlocked their ability. You can lose these benefits if they fall below 80%; when you raise the level again, you will get a text message.


''Note:  Sometimes a friend's benefit will '''not''' be available, due to excessive use or being blocked during certain missions.''

*[[Roman Bellic]]- Sends a cab to pick Niko up and take him anywhere for free (albeit at [[Mohammad|the driver's]] annoyance). Following [[Roman's Sorrow]], this benefit will be unavailable for several missions (as his depot has been burned down). The car service will be avaliable after completion of the mission [[Blow Your Cover]], when Roman buys a new fleet of cabs. After [[Mallorie]] calls to report Roman missing, Niko cannot hang out with him until he rescues Roman in "[[Hostile Negotiation]]".

*[[Dwayne Forge]] - Sends a car with two armed men who will follow and help Niko in combat. In order to unlock his friendship, the player must allow him to live in [[The Holland Play]], and later respond positively to an e-mail he will send (some time after this he will invite Niko out). The best times to call for activities are between 11am - 1pm.  Sparing Dwayne also allows use of Playboy X's loft apartment, including its pool table.
