Weapons

The Ballad of Gay Tony keeps the GTA IV arsenal and adds new weapons. The new ones come from story missions, Drug War rewards at Luis’ apartment, or Armando’s gun van. The older weapons are sold by Armando and the gun shops, and turn up around the city.

Tips

• Armando sells everything he has at a discount compared with the gun shops, and he comes to you.
• The Automatic Shotgun’s explosive shells destroy cars in a hit or two, which helps with the vehicle goals in the 100% ratings.
• The Advanced Sniper is the best tool for the rooftop snipers in In the Crosshairs.
