Armors are most commonly found spawned in specific locations or crates, and, in the case of GTA 2, can also be acquired by crushing specific cars.īody armor continued to be featured between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, undergoing several more evolutions. In early top-down GTA games, armors in both GTA 1 (as well as Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and Grand Theft Auto: London 1961packs) and GTA 2 serve their intended purpose, adding 10 more hitpoints to the player's existing health, but provides no protection to the player when they fall from great heights, are run over by vehicles, or are beaten up by the police and arrested. First introduced in the original Grand Theft Auto, the body armor's primary function is to serve as padding for the player health, in effect extending the player's resilience to damage from gunfire, explosions, and fire.
