Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - The Basics - Health, Armor and Weapons

The Basics - Health, Armor and Weapons (3/32)

The latest part of Grand Theft Auto gives you numerous opportunities for regenerating your health and armor. In order to regain vital forces you can use one of many first aid kits (in the shape of a green cross) scattered around town. Another way to regain some health points (20% to be exact) is to get into an ambulance. The next in line are scratch cards (described more explicitly in the next chapter) marked with a burger or capital W. They give you an opportunity to win a high-calorie sandwitch regenerating 100% of your health, or fries which can restore it by 50%. A nap in your hideout (saving the game) is also an effective way to regain some strength. The last way is to buy a hot-dog from a street stand [1].

The ways of restoring armor are not so numerous. You need to find one of many armors scattered around the city [2], buy one of the Ammu-Nation scratch cards (marked with capital A) or hijack a police van. These vehicles appear on the streets as soon as you get three stars of police attention, though you can also find one in front of a police station [2]. It’s worth mentioning that completing the mission with a cop car gives you the ‘bullet shield’ ability making your armor two times thicker.

Below, there are some maps showing you the whereabouts of armors, health, and weapons. The icons from the maps are as follows:

	First-aid kit regenerating 100% of your life level.
	Armor – substitute of a first-aid kit for your ‘blue’ protection indicator. It’s worth noticing that the capacity of the strip doubles thanks to the ‘bullet shield’ ability.
	Sword you can find it in a red garbage can in southern Algonquin, provided that you have completed one of the main missions: ‘Under the Gun’.
	Chainsaw it can be found at several construction sites.
	Baseball Bat – can be acquired at sports fields and parks.
	Twin Pistol – lying on a small island in the middle of a lake in northern Algonqiun.
	Micro SMG – can be found in northern Algonquin.
	Shotgun – look for one in the Broker district.
	Grenades – they are scattered all around town.
