| Slot 1 - Hand |
| Weapons in this slot allow you to attack and block.Target with R1 and press Square to block. |
Fist Conviently located at the end of each of CJ's arms |  |
Brass Knuckles Fists now come with attachable brass knuckles for that extra sting |  |
| Slot 2 - Melee |
| Weapons in this slot allow you to attack and block.Target with R1 and press Square to block. |
Katana Long. Pointy. Sword. |  |
Shovel Multi-use tool. Smack someone in the head and then use it to dig a hole and bury the body! |  |
Baseball Bat Good for bashing skulls and hitting home runs. |  |
Knife Stabby McStab. |  |
Golf Club Get in a round of putting, then wrap the club around your friend's neck |  |
Cane Not much use for this. Funny because you know there's an old man that can't walk because of you. |  |
Pool Stick Lost a game of pool? Crack this over your opponent's back. If you lose, you still win! |  |
Night Stick Cops think this thing actually helps them in the fight against crime. Why else would they still carry it? |  |
Chainsaw Good for carving the Thanksgiving
feast. Or, if you're a vegetarian/European/hippie, you can always shred
someone's gut with it. |  |
| Slot 3 - Hand Guns |
| Pistols and such are always good to use as a backup if your rifle gets jammed, or runs out of ammo. |
Pistol The most basic firearm in the GTA series. Just about every gang member will have one of these, not to mention cops. |  |
Desert Eagle A lot more powerful than the 9mm pistol, and a lot more cool-looking. Just use this one instead. |  |
Silenced 9mm 9mm pistol + silencer = this. Good for stealth kills. Not good for kills. |  |
| Slot 4 - Shotguns |
| Shotguns are great tools for creating flying bits
of human bodies in the pull of a trigger, but only good if you use them
up close. |
Chrome Shotgun Good all-around gun to force people out of homes with. Look down the barrel of one of these and you'll figure out why. |  |
Spas12 Combat Shotgun Great weapon for close-range
battles. Rapid-fire increases the chance that you'll go home with
someone else's blood on your threads. |  |
Sawn-Off Shotgun You can weild two of these once you reach Hitman level; but to reach Hitman level, you have to not suck. |  |
| Slot 5 - Machine Pistols |
| The quick and easy way to gun down enemy gang
members. Even quicker if you reach Hitman level and are able to hold
two at once. Even easier if your CJ still has two hands. |
Tec 9 Not much difference between this and the
Ingram Mac-10 a.k.a. the "Mini SMG". Probably the most noticeable
difference between the two is their names. They're both spelled and
pronounced differently. |  |
Ingram Mac 10 You saw it in Liberty. You saw it in Vice. Now you're seeing it again. Sick of it yet? We sure are! |  |
MP5 The mother of all sub-machine guns, the MP5 is
carried by high-ranking law enforcement officials, and some
down-and-dirty gang bangers. Take your pick. |  |
| Slot 6 - Assault Rifles |
| These rifles are a must-have in San Andreas.
Absolutely great lock-on rifles for long-range battles. Excellent for
use in gang wars, where you can pick off enemies before they have a
chance to stop running like fools. |
AK-47 You don't have to be a terrorist to use one of these. In fact, you don't even have to be a legal United States citizen. |  |
Colt M4 Used by the armed forces, these rifles are
extremely powerful and accurate. On the same mean as the AK-47, so
choosing which to use is a matter of preference. |  |
|
| Slot 7 - Long Range Rifles |
| Any marksman will love to have one of these on
hand, especially when on rooftops or inside high enclosures where
you're safe from enemy fire. |
Country Rifle Classic deer hunting rifle, but it works with humans as well. |  |
Sniper Rifle The one rifle you can zoom in and out
with, this one is sure to remain an inevitable part in the GTA series.
Great for picking off cops, Ballas, or anybody else that gets in your
way at a distance. |  |
| Slot 8 - Heavy Artillery |
| Only real men use the weapons in this catagory.
This must be what Americans are looking for in Iraq but won't find
because our president is an idiot. |
Rocket Launcher Another GTA classic. Good for shooting down helicopters, airplanes, and creating havoc from far away. |  |
Flamethrower Yet another classic, but with an added
twist: fires can spread now! Yes by the year 1991, the world figured
"why not make things flammable?" Just a light tap on the Circle button
will create a small flame that will eventually engulf a rather large
area. |  |
Gattling Gun Outlawed in many states, which is
probably why the cops chase you if you fire this weapon. Used to chew
through cars and torsos with ease. |  |
Heat-Seeking Missile Probably the most bad ass
weapon available to you. Think of the classic rocket launcher, but add
the ability for the rockets to lock onto heat sources, like police
helicopters. Now doesn't that just define kick-assery? |  |
| Slot 9 - Thrown Weapons |
| Things you throw to make other things go boom. |
Grenade It's a grenade; like you don't already know what these things do. |  |
Molotov Cocktail An old-fashioned liquor bottle filled with fuel and topped with a lit rag. Can you guess what this does upon impact? |  |
Satchel Explosives Similar to the remote grenades
from Vice City, only these look cooler and are way more effective. Used
for blasting open safes, locked doors, and chest cavaties. |  |
Tear Gas Highly ignored in Vice City, simply because
it was taken out of the PC version. Anyone caught in the gas cloud will
suffer loss of health and armor. Apparently, this stuff can erode
bullet proof vests, but not cause any skin damage. |  |
| Slot 10 - Hand-Held Items |
| Not really weapons; more like tools. Still very fun to use. |
Fire Extinguisher Used to extinguish fires. No, really, it has other uses. |  |
Camera The camera is back, and back for more than
just one mission. You now need a camera at one point or another in the
game to get 100% completion. |  |
Spray Can Spray over rival gang graffiti or rival
gang faces. Doing either will probably attract the attention of a
nearby cop, so check your surroundings first. |  |
| Slot 11 - Gifts |
| Impress your girlfriends with these gifts. You can also use them as melee weapons, but why ruin it? |
Flowers Flowers grow all over San Andreas. You can pick them and present them to your girl at the end of a date. |  |
Mystery Items See what other items you can find to give to your girlfriends and fill this slot |  |
| Slot 12 - Apparel Items |
| Stuff to wear. Why these are considered weapons to begin with, we have yet to understand. |
Parachute Are you currently falling off a high
building? Switch to your parachute and press circle to deploy it. Don't
have one? Well, then we'll see you on the ground! |  |
Thermal Goggles Good for seeing in dark places. They are also teh ub3r sex0r. |  |
