Ballas (HD Universe)


 * For the gang featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, see Ballas in 3D Universe.

The Ballas are an African-American street gang featured in Grand Theft Auto V.

Overview
They appear to maintain their traditional rivalry with the Families, as they can be seen fighting enemies in green clothing during Franklin's character trailer. In the Game Informer article, Rockstar Games have stated that the Ballas are still going strong, but when you ride into their territory they don't automatically attack you unless you pull out a weapon or aim at them. However, they will attack the police if they drive through their neighborhood and this can be used to your advantage. The Ballas are supporters of the Los Santos Panic Basketball Team and the Boars Baseball Club, with their purple attire matching the teams' colors.

One of the protagonists, Franklin, is not in friendly terms with the Ballas as he is part of the Families.

Turfs
They permanently control the neighborhood of Strawberry. They also appear to control Grove Street.
