1 Star Wanted Level:
- Fighting or killing civilians
- Shooting or causing explosions in public
- Pulling up behind a police car and honking antagonistically
- Standing too close to a cop after being warned to move
- Bumping in to a police car with your own vehicle
All of those can cause a 1 star wanted level.
Expect this to happen:
- Police will shoot if threatened with a vehicle or weapon
- Will send a helicopter at night to track you
- Arrest you (losing cash and all of your ammo, before being let out of the nearest station)
- If you die with 1 star wanted level, you'll lose more cash after being let out of the hospital
- Police will try to establish line of sight
Vehicles used:
- Police Cruiser, Maverick Helicopter and Sheriff Cruiser
2 Star Wanted Level:
Your 1 star can be escalated to 2 stars by
- Evading the police in a lengthy pursuit
- Threatening police
- Hitting a civilian or another vehicle with your own
- Trespassing in a certain area (name in supplied image)
Expect the following;
- A lone police officer will call for backup
- Police open fire immediately
- Police drive faster and more aggressively, while continuing to establish line of sight
- Police attempt to block your vehicle with their cruisers
- Shooting at a cop escalates you to a 3 star wanted level
Vehicles used
- Same as 1 star
3 Star Wanted Level:
- Killing a police officer automatically earns you a 3 star wanted level
- Trespassing on the airport does as well
Expect the following;
- Police shoot to kill
- If the helicopter spots you, police will move their search to your location
- Police become more aware of their surroundings, and find better areas to spot you
- Police drive more aggressively and attempt to ram you
- Police set up roadblocks
- The extent of the police response pursuing you is increased
- Two sharpshooters will fire on you from the helicopter
Vehicles used
- Police Transporter, Predator Boat (if you're in the water), plus previous vehicles
4 Star Wanted Level:
- Earned by trespassing in particular areas
- Police are joined by the FIB
- Heavily armed and armoured police officers arrive
- FIB agents will shoot you from their vehicles
- Will chase you anywhere, using tactics and working as a group to find you
- Will use tear gas to flush you out
- Helicopters will send down sharpshooters to join the ground forces
Vehicles used:
- FIB Cruiser, FIB SUV, Sheriff SUV, plus previous vehicles
5 Star Wanted Level:
- Multiple police helicopters will chase you
- Police will try to disable your vehicle with gunfire, and their own vehicles
- Huge amount of police and FIB agents chasing you
- Random roadblocks created by NOOSE agents
Vehicles used;
- Police Riot, plus previous vehicles
