GTA 5 Wanted Level – A guide to everything you need to know

Obviously being a bad guy is what Grand Theft Auto V is all about. With that comes the wanted level. The badder you are, the greater the wanted level and with that comes a whole host of in-game stressors. Wanted levels are a core gameplay feature in GTA games and in V, the wanted levels take on a whole new challenge. Computer AI is smarted so you’re going to have to be more clever and sneaky. Have no fear, we’re here to help.

Obviously the game isn’t released yet so we can only offer up a few snippets based on the limited official details released on various websites and by Rockstar.

Overiew: How does the wanted level work in Grand Theft Auto 5

  • your level will be on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the most wanted level
  • your wanted level will be a part of some missions. More details on how your wanted levels regarding missions will be coming starting September 17th
  • common sense dictates how quickly your wanted level goes up. In other words, are you assaulting people in plain view of others? Obviously messing with a police officer is rated as more serious than messing with a random pedestrian.

One Star Wanted Level

You can achieve a one star wanted level by low level activity. In general, messing with civilians are being rowdy in public will result in one star. If a civilian witnesses your behavior and calls you in, this will be your wanted level at first.

How to achieve a 1 star wanted level:

  • Bumping in to a police car with your own vehicle
  • Fighting or killing civilians
  • Pulling up behind a police car and honking antagonistically
  • Shooting or causing explosions in public
  • Standing too close to a cop after being warned to move

What happens at the 1 star wanted level:

  • Arrest you (losing cash and all of your ammo, before being let out of the nearest station)
  • If you die with 1 star wanted level, you’ll lose more cash after being let out of the hospital
  • Police will shoot if threatened with a vehicle or weapon
  • Police will try to establish line of sight
  • Will send a helicopter at night to track you

What police vehicles and enforcement will happen during a 1 star wanted level?

  • Maverick helicopter
  • Police cruiser
  • Sheriff cruiser

Two Star Wanted Level

From what we know so far, you will increase from one star to two star if you are unable to get away cleanly and away from the police. (will expand on this in the coming days)

How do I reach a 2 star wanted level? Do some of the following things:

  • Evading the police in a lengthy pursuit
  • Hitting a civilian or another vehicle with your own
  • Threatening police
  • Trespassing in some locations

What happens at the 2 star wanted level:

  •  A lone police officer will call for backup
  • Police attempt to block your vehicle with their cruisers
  • Police drive faster and more aggressively, while continuing to establish line of sight
  • Police open fire immediately
  • Shooting at a cop escalates you to a 3 star wanted level

What police vehicles and enforcement will happen during a 2 star wanted level?

  • Maverick helicopter
  • Police cruiser
  • Sheriff cruiser

Three Star Wanted Level

According to online leaks, it’s pretty clear what will get you a three star level. If you shoot at or kill a police officer you will get getting 3-star. (will authenticate this asap)

How do I achieve a 3 star wanted level? Do one or more of the following:

  • Killing a police officer automatically earns you a 3 star wanted level
  • Trespassing on the airport

What happens while at the 3 star wanted level?

  • If the helicopter spots you, police will move their search to your location
  • Police become more aware of their surroundings, and find better areas to spot you
  • Police drive more aggressively and attempt to ram you
  • Police set up roadblocks
  • Police shoot to kill
  • The extent of the police response pursuing you is increased
  • Two sharpshooters will fire on you from a helicopter

What police vehicles and enforcement will happen during a 3 star wanted level?

  • Maverick helicopter
  • Police cruiser
  • Sheriff cruiser
  • Police transporter
  • Predator boat for water based pursuits

Four Star Wanted Level

Essentially the four star wanted level happens when you push back and battle authorities. If you can’t make your getaway and are forced to defend yourself, that will get you into a pulse racing four star wanted level.

What will happen while at a 4 star wanted level?

  • FIB agents will shoot you from their vehicles
  • Heavily armed and armored police officers arrive
  • Helicopters will send down sharpshooters to join the ground forces
  • Police are joined by the FIB
  • Will chase you anywhere, using tactics and working as a group to find you
  • Will use tear gas to flush you out

What police vehicles and enforcement will happen during a 4 star wanted level?

  • Maverick helicopter
  • Police cruiser
  • Sheriff cruiser
  • Police transporter
  • Predator boat for water based pursuits
  • FIB cruiser
  • FIB SUV
  • Sheriff SUV

Five Star Wanted Level

Simply an escalation of four star wanted level.

What will happen while at a 5 star wanted level?

  • Huge amount of police and FIB agents chasing you
  • Multiple police helicopters will chase you
  • Police will try to disable your vehicle with gunfire, and their own vehicles
  • Random roadblocks

What police vehicles and enforcement will happen during a 4 star wanted level?

  • Maverick helicopter
  • Police cruiser
  • Sheriff cruiser
  • Police transporter
  • Predator boat for water based pursuits
  • FIB cruiser
  • FIB SUV
  • Sheriff SUV
  • Police riot

How do lose your wanted level?

I think this should be relatively obvious. Think real life. Think movies. What do the bad guys do to lose the heat? Obviously the getaway is crucial. If you can get away, the wanted level can decrease. With the customization, I would expect something like vehicle customizations to work also. If police are looking for a red car and you are no longer in a red car? Make sense that your wanted level will go down.

Reports online also suggest that when you acquire a certain wanted level during a mission, you can lose the wanted level after completing the mission.

Do you have 8GB free on your PS3 or Xbox 360? External storage suggestions

As we prepare for that delightful September 17th, don’t leave yourself ripe for disappointment. I bet a LOT of you don’t have a free 8GB on your Xbox 360 or PS3. I’m one of those people and right now, I’m looking for solutions. I’m not deleting a bunch of stuff off the hard drive so I’m doing the external storage method. That said, there are a few things you need to look at before buying a USB thumb flash drive. Here’s a quick guide.

Xbox 360 Guide

  • your external USB flash drive must be 16GB with at least 8GB free space
  • the USB flash drive must be USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed
  • it must be formatted for Xbox 360 use
  • Rockstar recommends you buy a brand new usb flash drive for optimal performance (I agree)

PS3 Guide

  • For PS3, clear up 8GB of space on your hard drive

Debate about GTA 5 expenses proves all platforms are coming.

There are a million recent blog posts and news articles over the internet about the amount of money that Rockstar put into development and creating Grand Theft Auto V. Okay, we can debate the validity of those figures and whether it really is as high as speculation suggests. Consider the game has been worked on for more than 5 years and is on a scale that has never been seen before in video games. I think it’s safe to say this is at the top for video game budgets. Does it compare to Hollywood blockbuster type films? Who really knows. Let’s just say they spent a TON on developing GTA V. But here’s the thing.

One thing is certain. Given the expense of creating the game, make no mistake about it. GTA V is coming for all platforms. It has to. If you spend all the money to create the game, you need it to be relevant and popular for as long as possible. Having a last generation only makes ZERO sense. Further, consider PC gaming and handheld gaming like Android, iPhone and iPad. Expect to see a version for those platforms also. Return on investment is key and it’s the reason you can be certain of releases on all platforms. Don’t take my word for it, get it for the PS3 or Xbox 360 anyways. I’m sure there would be an update deal in the works and a way to bring your assets with you to the next gen consoles.

Of course Rockstar wants to keep these other platforms out of the discussion for now. Why ruin what should be the biggest week in revenues that the video game industry has ever seen? If the PS4 and Xbox One versions are announced or heavily rumored, there will be a good percentage of people cancelling their pre orders and or simply not buying the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions. That would happen guaranteed.

My prediction is for an announcement around October 1st when the launch of GTA Online happens. That gives the PS3 and Xbox 360 version times to sell and establish the game in the minds of gamers.

If Rockstar announces GTA 5 on Xbox One or PS4, what will your reaction be?

[polldaddy poll=7378564]

 

Here’s an interesting and somewhat obvious question. Obviously there hasn’t been any announcement regarding GTA V on PS4 or Xbox One. Given that October 1st is the day for GTA Online, perhaps that when some type of announcement regarding next generation and PC might come. That gives a couple weeks of intense sales on the current gen systems and will also lead to continued hype in the gaming community. So although not official, it’s anticipated though and that’s sort of the dilemma. Let’s just say shortly after September 17th, Rockstar announces that the next gen consoles will get Grand Theft Auto 5. If it’s by the end of the year, does this cause you to buy the next generation console just to play the updated version? Do you stick with the original game and console? Do you get mad? What the heck happens?

I think it would be save to say that the PS4 and Xbox One version upgrade would have some type of deal such as what we’ve seen announced for COD Ghosts for example. That takes some of the sting away. As for character development and time you invested in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions? I see Rockstar doing what EA is doing with Battlefield 4. You can bring your stats along with you to the next generation console. No loss then in that regard which would be HUGE when it comes to GTA V because of the money and customization that’s available.

The only question might be whether you’ve played the pants off the game by the time you get a next generation console and if there is a next generation GTA game to buy. I suppose if the GTA Online is worthy, then upgrading your copy might make a lot of sense. That will be a key for the longevity for GTA 5. If players are compelled to upgrade their copy when moving to the next generation systems or not. I would imagine that after you’ve developed a custom character and tons of loot, there would be a compelling reason to keep it going as long as possible.
