* '''[[Body Armor|Armor]]''' - Armor counts as an extra "layer" of health; it can be acquired via an Armor [[Pickups|pickup]], purchased at an [[Ammu-Nation]] store, or, in some games, acquired by entering the Police [[Enforcer]]. The exact abilities of Armor vary from game to game — generally, Armor will absorb all gunfire and explosive damage until it is entirely depleted; damage from falls and vehicle impacts may deplete Armor, or may leave Armor intact and deplete Health. | * '''[[Body Armor|Armor]]''' - Armor counts as an extra "layer" of health; it can be acquired via an Armor [[Pickups|pickup]], purchased at an [[Ammu-Nation]] store, or, in some games, acquired by entering the Police [[Enforcer]].

On the mobile ([[Apple iOS|iOS]] and [[Android]]) versions of the game, the statistics can be viewed by tapping and holding the weapon icon. These reflect [[Carl Johnson]]'s physique, physical abilities, and expertise; unlike in other GTA games, these change according to the player's actions. | ||
=== Fat === | === Fat === | ||
This statistic measures | This statistic measures CJ's body fat. Fat is increased by eating food. Fat is decreased by exercising, either at a [[gym]] or in the world at large. Being overweight naturally changes CJ's appearance, and eventually lessens most physical capabilities (including health) and possibly lead to random heart attacks (that can kill CJ), but CJ is required to have at least a small amount of fat - without it, exercising will reduce CJ's muscle instead of his fat. | ||

: For every 150 seconds of running, or every 100 seconds of biking or [[swimming]], CJ will shed 1.5% fat. At a gym, this is much faster - on the treadmill or stationary bike, CJ will shed 2.5% fat every 14 seconds. When lifting weights, CJ will shed 2.5% fat for each repetition. Also, if the player waits 48 [[time|ingame hours]] without eating, CJ will shed fat at a rate of 2.5% per in-game hour. Before this happens, the player is given the following warning: “You are starting to feel hungry and you are starting to lose energy. You need to find something to eat.” If the player has no more fat to shed, the hunger will start hampering muscle instead. If there is no fat or muscle to shed, health will continue to deplete until it eventually kills CJ. | : For every 150 seconds of running, or every 100 seconds of biking or [[swimming]], CJ will shed 1.5% fat.

Eating too much in one sitting will cause CJ to vomit. It | Eating too much in one sitting will cause CJ to vomit. It is dangerous to eat somewhere between 9 to 12 of the largest or salad meal at any restaurant. The magic number depends on health, fat, muscle, time, etc. If this happens, the player will not be served in any restaurant until 11 game hours have passed. Oddly enough, eating til purge does count as eating; while it won't regain health, it will stave off hunger and weight loss like normal. | ||
=== Muscle === | === Muscle === | ||
This indicates CJ's muscular development. Muscle influences the [[Respect]] and Sex Appeal stats. Muscle is increased by working out at a gym, or otherwise exercising (running, riding bikes, swimming). Having more muscle will make melee attacks that CJ makes more effective. A 100% muscle statistic is detrimental to Sex appeal and will prevent CJ from initiating contact with some [[Girlfriends in GTA San Andreas|girlfriends]]. To prevent this, obtain all 50 Oysters, buy high-end outfits and haircuts, and drive a high-end vehicle, such as a tuner. | This indicates CJ's muscular development.

Oddly, swimming, cycling, and running somehow | Oddly, swimming, cycling, and running somehow reduce CJ's muscle as opposed to increasing it. This is likely due to fatigue caused by these activities. | ||
=== Respect === | === Respect === | ||
Respect indicates CJ's level of influence in the [[Grove Street Families]]. Having high enough Respect allows CJ to recruit gang members. Many [[missions]] increase Respect when completed, as do successful [[Gang Warfare in GTA San Andreas|gang wars]]. Respect is lost by not wearing [[Clothing in GTA San Andreas|gang colors]] in gang territory. CJ will also lose respect if he kills members of his gang, or loses territory to other gangs. | Respect indicates CJ's level of influence in the [[Grove Street Families]].

CJ will also lose respect if he kills members of his gang, or loses territory to other gangs. | ||

It is influenced by CJ's [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas|current vehicle]] (and its condition), [[Barbers|Hairstyle]], [[Clothing in GTA San Andreas|Clothing]], Fat, and Muscle. Collecting all 50 [[Oysters]] can prevent some of the pitfalls of low Sex Appeal (girlfriends being dissatisfied with CJ's appearance, or potential girlfriends not wanting to talk to CJ). | ||
=== Stamina === | === Stamina === | ||
The Stamina statistic indicates endurance with regards to running, swimming, and cycling. Low stamina means CJ will grow fatigued easily and stop sprinting after short distances. Stamina has to be built up over the course of the entire game by exercising. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], a stamina bar also exists whenever the player is in the water. If it runs out, the player will drown. | The Stamina statistic indicates endurance with regards to running, swimming, and cycling.
