[[GTA 1]] initially programmed fire for use in its [[flamethrower]], the only flame-based weapon in the game. The flames of the weapon were primarily effective in setting people alight in short range; even if briefly in contact with its flame, the person remain on fire for a period of time, losing a portion of or all of their health; feeding more fire to the person will result in a quicker death. Vehicles, however, are less likely to remain on fire when out of the flame's way. The player will constantly have to fire the flamethrower onto a vehicle until it explodes and is destroyed. | [[GTA 1]] initially programmed fire for use in its [[flamethrower]], the only flame-based weapon in the game.

[[GTA 2]] carried over GTA 1's fire mechanics, while introducing [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktail]]s as a new fire-based weapon. The Molotov cocktail, which functions the same way as GTA 2's [[grenade]], generates an explosion and a ball of fire, but behaves more like a small-scale explosive that does not inflict long lasting fire damage. Fire is also introduced as a clear indication of a vehicle's imminent destruction; as a vehicle is progressively damaged, a small flame will emerge from the vehicle and grow until the entire vehicle explodes when totally destroyed (killing any occupant inside). | [[GTA 2]] carried over GTA 1's fire mechanics, while introducing [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktail]]s as a new fire-based weapon.
