In GTA III, in order to cover from gun fire, the player is limited to running behind cars and structure. With the introduction of crouching in GTA Vice City, the player can run behind shorter structures that are otherwise pointless in GTA III so the player's body is less exposed to gun fire. This is especially advantageous on the PC version where the bullets travel to the crosshair and not obstructed by barriers usually experienced using the console or classic controls. Powerful weapons that can only be targeted in first-person view in the console or classic controls are extremely useful in the PC version being able to target in third person view. GTA San Andreas added the additional ability to travel while crouching and rolling over sideways while crouching. | In GTA III, in order to cover from gun fire, the player is limited to running behind cars and structure.

Grand Theft Auto IV dramatically expanded this idea into a system with a simple press of a button. The cover button can let the player automatically find a nearby object to hide behind. The character great number of animations are available just to approach the cover, including running into cover, rolling into cover, sliding into cover, diving into cover and going from cover to cover. | Grand Theft Auto IV dramatically expanded this idea into a system with a simple press of a button.
