Weapons in The Ballad of Gay Tony

The Ballad of Gay Tony introduces seven new weapons, and introduces the parachute to the GTA IV era. The weapons from Grand Theft Auto IV are still available, but the Grenade Launcher is the only weapon from The Lost and Damned that returns (though you can get a sawn-off shotgun from the bikers in Frosting on the Cake). Like The Lost and Damned, the new weapons can only either be purchased from Armando's Cavalcade or spawned at Luis' apartment after completing a certain number of Drug Wars.

Handgun

Pistol .44 (ÁMT Automag Model 180)

Pistol .44

• Cost: $640 + $50 for each additional magazine
• Magazine Size: 8 rounds
• Carrying Capacity: 1,500 rounds

A new type of handgun. It is a high velocity handgun for quick and accurate kills. Using the .44 Magnum cartridge, it is more powerful than the Combat Pistol, however the Pistol .44 fires at a slower rate and takes longer to reload at an empty cartridge.

Shotgun

Explosive Shotgun / Automatic Shotgun (AA-12)

Explosive Shotgun

• Cost: $1,250 + $80 for 20 standard shells or $160 for 20 explosive rounds
• Magazine Size: 20 shells
• Carrying Capacity: 600 shells

A low recoil automatic shotgun with semi-auto fire to take down multiple targets easily. It uses either standard shotgun shells, or special explosive rounds (based on the Frag-12 explosive shell) which destroy almost any target. Standard shells are colored red whereas explosive rounds are green. The Tactical Response Unit of NOOSE and the FIB use the AA-12 with standard shells in place of the Pump Shotgun. After completing 30 drug wars, one with explosive cartridges is sent to Luis' apartment.

NOTE: If the player switches from the Automatic Shotgun to either the Pump Shotgun or Combat Shotgun, the player loses any extra shells beyond 80. Also, if the player switches from explosive rounds to standard buckshot or vice versa, the player loses all units of the previous ammunition type.

Sub-Machine Guns

Gold SMG

Gold SMG (Uzi SMG)

• Cost: $5,000 + $60 for each additional magazine
• Magazine Size: 30 rounds
• Carrying Capacity: 1,200 rounds

A Gold-plated SMG. Yusuf Amir is seen carrying this weapon in the "Meet Yusuf Amir" trailer. Given to the player as a reward alongside Yusuf's Super Drop Diamond as a reward for completing all his missions. It can also be purchased from Armando after unlocking it. After completing 50 drug wars, one is sent to Luis' apartment.

Assault SMG

Assault SMG (FN P90)

• Cost: $6,725 + $150 for each additional magazine
• Magazine Size: 50 rounds
• Carrying Capacity: 1,200 rounds

A light, accurate and compact sub-machine gun. Perfect in gunfights, it is the first weapon used by Luis in the mission Dropping In.... Unlike other SMGs, the Assault SMG cannot be used as a drive by weapon. The weapon is first given to the player during the mission Chinese Takeout, and is not available beforehand. It is silenced, and sounds nearly exactly like the Advanced MG. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, certain NOOSE and FIB officers also carry the Assault SMG as an alternative to the SMG (SW MP-10) that most NOOSE and FIB officers use in GTA IV and The Lost and Damned.

Assault Rifle / Light Machine Gun

Advanced MG

Advanced MG (M249 SAW)

• Cost: $7,550 + $400 for each additional ammo belt
• Magazine Size: 200 round belt
• Carrying Capacity: 600 rounds

A powerful weapon that fires 900 rounds per minute, taking enemies down fast. As seen in the Guns in Liberty City (Weazel News) Trailer, demonstrated by the "Terrorism Expert". The Advanced MG is placed in the Assault Rifle slot since it uses 5.56mm NATO rounds. LCPD and NOOSE officers in The Ballad of Gay Tony use the Advanced MG from helicopters instead of the Carbine Rifle. After completing 20 drug wars, one is sent to Luis' apartment.

Sniper Rifle

Advanced Sniper

Advanced Sniper (DSR-1)

• Cost: $4,750 + $200 for each additional magazine
• Magazine Size: 10 rounds
• Carrying Capacity: 50 rounds

Greatly increased range, rate of fire and sniper zoom make this the ideal long range weapon. It was seen in a screenshot in which Luis was targeting a person while on a helicopter. It is introduced in the mission Caught with your Pants Down. Like the Automatic Shotgun, it can use either standard or explosive rounds, however explosive rounds are only available in multiplayer.

Explosives

Sticky Bombs

Sticky Bombs (Satchel Charges)

• Cost: $800 per unit
• Carrying Capacity: 25 units

Tag vehicles or objects for remote detonation. Please note that unlike the Satchel Charges of GTA: San Andreas, these bombs do not stick to people. Used in the mission some missions. Only 2 can be placed at a time; placing more than 2 will cause one to disappear. An explosive charge detonates when the player press down on the d-pad or shoots the charge. After completing 40 drug wars, some are sent to Luis' apartment.

Miscellanous

Parachute

Parachute

• Cost: $100

The Parachute returns in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Its steering system is the same as in San Andreas. It is first used in High Dive, and in parachute checkpoints. The parachute is available in multiplayer.
