Ballas (HD Universe)

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

The Ballas are a large 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 neighborhood, they don't always attack you on sight. Though sometimes they do attack if provoked by your presence, such as "flipping them off" or pulling or aiming a weapon 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 on friendly terms with the Ballas as he is part of The Families.

They can often be seen driving cars, bikes, and even walking dogs. Most Ballas stand on the sidewalks in groups of 3-5. Their weapons include Pistols, Micro SMGs, and knives. Members are also seen smoking cigarettes and drinking Pißwasser.

Territory
The Ballas control the entire neighborhood of Davis. Grove Street is a particular hotspot for activity as well as Davis Ave, Brough Avenue and Covenant Avenue in the neighborhood. The Ballas also have a marijuana growing/packing business set up in an abandoned sawmill in the southwest section of Paleto Bay.
