Weapons in GTA San Andreas

Revision as of 17:01, 23 December 2007 by gtw>Jim-jam 123

The weapon selection in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of the most important aspects of the game. Some off the weapons have returned from Vice City while some of them are brand new and exclusive for San Andreas. There are two new and very useful features in the game; smart aiming being the first. The game will detect whether the weapon shall auto target an AI near the player; or revert to manual-aim if there is no AI nearby. This feature is especially useful when there is a need of shooting a target through the window of a car with any weapon and manual aim is required. If a player requires to use manual-aim in a crowded area it is as simple as moving the right analog stick while in auto-aim, to quickly switch to the manual feature. You cannot use smart aim for: melee weapons, country rifle, sniper rifle, projectiles or any of the heavy weapons. The second new feature is the ability to duel-wield several weapons after reaching a certain skill level in each weapon. One more new feature in the game is the ability for the player to acquire a suppressed pistol, great for stealth, and will not attract as much "police attention".

Here is a list of the available weapon slots, and the weapons that can be used in those slots. Weapons marked with an asterisk (*) can be dual-wielded.
