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 and the Grenade Launcher from The Lost and Damned returns. 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)

File:Weapons pistol44.png

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 Auto Shotgun 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 Auto Shotgun to either the Pump Shotgun or Combat Shotgun, the player loses any extra shells beyond 80. Also, if the player switches between explosive rounds and standard shells, 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 often seen carrying this weapon. It is 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. This weaponis ideal for drive-by's with its incredible rate of fire, stopping power, and relatively high clip capacity. It is not as good as the Assault SMG in ground warfare.

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. Unlike other SMGs, the Assault SMG cannot be used as a drive by weapon. Certain NOOSE and FIB officers in The Ballad of Gay Tony 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. This weapon IS better than the Gold SMG when it comes to ground warfare.

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. 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. This weapon is rather powerful, but getting headshots is more difficult because this weapon is fired from the hip. It takes around 25 body shots to kill someone with this, but the gun shoots very fast.

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. Like the Automatic Shotgun, it can use either standard or explosive rounds, however explosive rounds are only available in multiplayer or single player with a cheat code. The explosive rounds destroy cars, trucks, and even helicopters on single player with 1 shot, but need several on multiplayer.

Explosives

Sticky Bombs

Sticky Bombs (Satchel Charges)

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

Explosives used to 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. 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.

Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher

• Cost: $7,000 + $700 for additional ammo
• Magazine Size: 1 grenade
• Carrying Capacity: 20 grenades

It is the only weapon in The Lost and Damned returning, aside from the Sawn-off Shotgun. The Grenade Launcher has been modified; the fuse has been shortened and if the player gets a direct hit on a vehicle or person, the grenade explodes on impact.

Technically Available/ Temporary

File:Wep sawedoffshotgun.gif

Sawn-Off Shotgun

Sawn-off Shotgun

The shotgun is technically available in the game but it is only obtainable once, through the mission Frosting on the Cake by failing the mission. The shotgun is only temporary and will not return if the player wasted all the ammo or doing one of the missions of Yusuf Amir, which will be replaced by the Explosive Shotgun.
