Area 2: Residential

Area 2: Residential is the second mission area featured in Grand Theft Auto 2. The "chapter" is entirely set in the Residential District of Anywhere City and all missions are given to Claude Speed by the bosses of the Rednecks gang, the SRS Scientists and the Zaibatsu (Billy Bob Bean, Dr. LaBrat and Red Valdez, respectively) via payphones found in their respective gang turfs.

For an overview of this area in the PlayStation version, see Area 2: Residential/PlayStation.

Description[]

After acquiring enough points in the previous mission area and leaving Downtown District, the player unlocks the Residential District. The value required to complete the area is $3.000.000, which unlocks the next area: Industrial. After reaching the target score, the player can leave the district even before completing the gang jobs, although this makes it impossible to achieve 100% completion of the chapter.

For completing a mission, the player earns money, respect and a score multiplier. There are three levels of mission difficulty:

Green: Easy difficulty; Minimum respect required. (Rewards the player with $30.000)
Yellow: Medium difficulty; Moderate respect required. (Rewards the player with $50.000)
Red: Hard difficulty; Maximum respect required. (Rewards the player with $70.000)

The compass with three colored arrows around the player indicates the starting point of each gang mission. Each arrow color represents a different gang in the Residential District. Note that the arrow colors are the same as the "respect-o-meter" bars for each gang shown in the top left corner of the HUD.

The Residential District allows a maximum wanted level of five, which results in the Special Agents chasing the player.

To save the game, the player needs to find the Jesus Saves church in Morton and pay $50.000. A TV Van can be used by the player to track down the church location, as the antenna on top always points towards it.
