Hand-to-Hand Weapons
- Brass Knuckles: These are really it for hand-to-hand weapons. Slightly better than fists, the Brass Knuckles help you
Melee Weapons
- Screw Driver: Think about how a screwdriver would feel going into your abdomen.
- Golf Club: Whenever you get into a golf cart, you'll get a Club as long as you have no other melee weapon. Or just beat someone silly on the course and take theirs. This weapon has a cool factor of 10 when used in the city... especially when sporting the Jocksport threads.
- Hammer: Yeah, it's a claw hammer.
- Nightstick: Whenever you take down a cop, you get one of these. It's as effective a melee weapon as any, and has that added cache of being taken off of law enforcement.
- Baseball Bat: Now we're talking. Go Barry Bonds on someone's face with this polished piece of cherry. Good for knocking people on their asses. Can be found at most neighborhood hardware stores.
- Knife: "That's the last time you stick a knife in me, Pagoda." This blade is good for those who want to feel like they're fighting in West Side Story. A real man will pick up a real weapon and go to work. Still, this is better than bare hands.
- Cleaver: As in meat cleaver. As in "buh-bye Mr. Arm." Up close, this puppy will make man into Manwich.
- Machete: Good for hacking through jungles... and people (just ask Mr. Voorhees). The Machete is a pretty lethal weapon when used in close quarters.
- Katana: Alright. Somebody saw Pulp Fiction. This rad Japanese blade deals slicing damage, and let's face it, just looks cool. Find one in the back office of the Tarbrush Cafe in the North Point Mall.
- Chainsaw: If you've got a little Leatherface in you (God forbid), this should be your weapon of choice. Just get up close and carve away. This weapon is a little cumbersome, but it earns style points. You can earn this beast for your hideout when you collect a mere 20 packages.
Explosives
- Grenades: These are especially effective in stairwells or to throw into a mess of cars to create big, big explosions. Buy them at Ammu-Nation?in the mall.?
- Teargas: Get these at the VCPD. They're not much use, unless you like crying people.
- Molotov: These, on the other hand, are very nice. Hold the throw button (Circle) longer to throw further. These are good for destroying storefronts and torching villages.?
- Bomb/Detonator: Get this at 8-Ball's near the docks. He will rig your ride with a bomb, and you hold the button. Park it next to something you hate and click!
Pistols
- Colt 45: The standard weapon. Get this off of cop corpses. It has a good pop to it... three shots or so should take a grown man down.?
- Colt Python: Much more like a Magnum, this guy packs a serious wallop. One shot and a victim is dead. Two and he's just messy.
Shotguns
- Chromed Shotgun: C'mon... who chrome-plates a shotgun? I mean, honestly.?
- Spaz Shotgun: Spazzy people will pay. This is a fast-loading, death-dealing dynamo of the first order. Also a one shot killa.?
- Stubby Shotgun: Sawed off, like your mom. I don't even know what that means. This gun is cooler than most, and it works like most. Point and kill.
Uzis
- Tec-9: "You wanna make noise, make noise. I make a phone call..." You fill in the blanks. Dre rapped about this weapon for a reason. It puts a lot of holes in something in a short amount of time. While it doesn't get the job done as tight as an MP5, it's still quite lovely. Plus, like the June Jones Atlanta Falcons, you can Run N' Shoot.
- Ingram Mac 10: This sucker spits lead at an unprecendented rate, allowing you to do damage in a hurry.
- Uzi 9mm: Across the street from the movie studio, you can find one of these bobbing in the breeze. It's a tight little automatic that can be fired while in motion. A great drive-by weapon as well.
- MP5: This baby can eventually be purchased at the Ammu-Nation Downtown for a cozy sum of $3000. It's worth it, though. This is the super-accurate weapon the FBI is using when they drop you bloody and worthless on the cold pavement.

Assault Rifles
- Ruger: The trusty Ruger will allow you to target and dish out head shots left and right. This sucker is powerful.
- Colt M4: A peachy assualt rifle, this one has both power and class. It'll drop a gang faster than you can say "Insane Clown Posse."
Heavy Weapons
- Rocket Launcher: The creme de la creme. Use this on cars, people, goats. It's great for taking out big targets quickly, and intimidating smaller targets to the point of urination.
- Flame Thrower: Although gun-like, this is a close quarters weapon.?It's best used to get vehicles cooking... in order to explode them. Make sure you don't run into the flame. Unless you passed the Fire Truck mission at Level 12, that will hurt.?
- M60: This is one bad-ass machine gun. Heavier than most, it packs a lot of power in its massive muzzle. Wield it with reckless abandon and watch the suckers fall.
- Minigun:?If you've never shot one of these, you're missing out. This powerhouse discharges bullets at the rate of about a billion/second. It's not uncommon to saw a target in half with the stream of lead.
Sniper Rifles
- Sniper Rifle: This one's a little slow on the reload (kinda like grandpa), but if you only have a couple of targets, this is the one for you.
- PSG-1: A good weapon, simply because it can fire multiple times quickly in sniper mode. If you're a crappy shot, look into this gun.
