However, the player now has a limit on how much ammunition he can carry for each weapon.Īdditional weapons are available in the downloadable episodes of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. With the exception of Thrown Weapons, the player no longer needs to purchase multiple instances of firearms in order to stock up on ammunition, instead the player buys one gun and pays a smaller amount for each additional magazine. Additionally, if the player has earned enough respect with Little Jacob, the player has the option to call him to meet the player nearby with a vehicle full of weapons at a reduced price. Taking their place, however, are a number of shady, underground gun shops located in basements and alleys around the city. Keeping in line with the political reality satirized by the game, the Ammu-Nation shops found in previous GTAs have been closed down due to strict gun laws. Much like the real NYC, the civilian sale and ownership of firearms in Liberty City is illegal, but just as it is with real life criminals, Niko Bellic and friends don't seem to mind breaking the law in order to arm themselves. Also, the guns do not have specific names, probably for legal reasons instead, weapons have been given more generalized names (for example, the AK-47 is called the Assault Rifle and the Desert Eagle is called the Combat Pistol). The weapons in GTA IV have 2 strength tiers, instead of 3 levels, like in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Weapons and ammo that have been dropped by fallen enemies now realistically lie on the ground with a distinctive red-orange glow to catch the player's eye, instead of floating in mid-air like in other Grand Theft Auto games.
In-game weapons are harder to find, and have been moved to the top of buildings and back alleys, out of the way, although weapons are commonly found before big "shootout" missions in plain sight for the player to find. The number of attainable weapons in GTA IV has dropped to 15. Weapons are a precious commodity in Grand Theft Auto IV. The player can buy weapons through Little Jacob
