GTA 2 Gangs: Every Gang, Leader and How Respect Works

📅 Checked on

GTA 2 has seven gangs. The Zaibatsu Corporation operates in all three districts of Anywhere City; the other six are local: the Loonies and the Yakuza Downtown, the SRS Scientists and the Rednecks in Residential, and the Russian Mafia and the Hare Krishna in Industrial. Working for a gang earns its respect and loses the respect of its rivals.

Respect: How Gangs Treat You

Doing jobs for a gang raises your respect with it and lowers it with its rivals. With enough respect, a gang gives you harder jobs; with too little, its members attack you on sight. Jobs come from phones colour-coded by difficulty: green for easy jobs, yellow for medium ones that need some respect, and red for hard ones that need the most.

Weapons by Gang

As a gang becomes hostile, its members use heavier weapons:

The Zaibatsu's weapons depend on the district, from pistols Downtown up to a rocket launcher in Industrial.
