Power-ups in Grand Theft Auto 2 encompass a variety of pickups that primarily alter the player's behavior, grant them temporary or permanent benefits that can aid the player during missions, dire situations, or simply for fun.

Power-ups can be acquired via two methods, by either finding them in specific locations in the city, or by crushing cars. The former is usually less effective, as all power-ups, with the exception of the armor and health pickups, will not respawn after being acquired.

Trivia[]

  • The Invisibility power-up icon is a reference to the science fiction character The Invisible Man, particularly his appearance in the 1933 film, with a head fully wrapped in bandages and wearing sunglasses.
  • In the GTA 2 Design Doc, Instant Access, Invisibility and Invulnerability had different icons.
