Main Page > GTA San Andreas > Gangterritories
Gangterritories consists of areas, which ofcourse are managed by a gang. In the mission Doberman you will have your first encounter with these areas. In this mission, given by Sweet, you have to take over Glen Park from the Ballas. After this mission, you will be able to start gangwars to gain territory whenever you like.
This option is only available for a certain time, because after the mission The Green Sabre all areas will dissapear and therefore you can't start gangwars anymore. But don't be sad, because the option will return after the mission Home Coming. Sweet will be released from prison and asks CJ to bring him back to Grove Street (The Hood). There they will find Grove Street, which is under control of the Ballas. This is too much for Sweet, so he asks CJ to help him taking back the area. You will need this for more missions, because Los Santos is under the control of the Ballas and the Los Santos Vagos. Gangterritories are also the working areas of crack dealers, you'll only see them in these areas, besides that there ain't much of crack business from crack dealers.
How do I conquer an area?
You have to be prepared when you are planning to start a gang war. So you have to have powerful weapons, like a M4, minigun, molotov cocktails, MP5, etc. Body armor is also useful. Go to the area you want to conquer. First look for a good place to position yourself, like a roof. Search for some gangmembers from the gang which controls the area. Kill at least three members and you will get the message that you have started a gangwar. If you missed the message and you aren't sure if the gangwar has started, look at the radar below. If the area blinks red, the gangwar has been started! Now the most difficult part will start: conquer the area itself. There will be three waves of attacking gangmembers. Kill them all and Grove Street members will take control of the area.
It is possible a rival gang wants to take back their areas and attacks on of your areas. In that case, a message in the top of the screen will notify you and the area under attack will blink. You can prevent losing the area by killing al rival gang members in the area. An other way is to save the game before you lose the area, this can be handy when you don't want to have a gangwar. As long as a gang has at least one area left, it will be able to attack you. When you totally eliminate a gang, it will be gone forever and never attack you again.

Gang Warfare is a feature in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas available upon completion of Doberman (they are no longer available after the mission The Green Sabre, but they return after the mission Home Coming). Taking over enemy gang territory earns you more Respect and Money.
The gang territories in San Andreas are denoted by colored areas on the map. This is a list of gangs whose territories you can take over and their corresponding colors:
| Gang | Color |
|---|---|
| Ballas | Purple |
| Grove Street Families | Green |
| Los Santos Vagos | Yellow |
| Varrios Los Aztecas | Turquoise |
| San Fierro Rifa | Blue |
| San Fierro Triads | Red |
| Da Nang Boys | Grey |
| Russian Mafia | White |
| Italian Mafia | Black |
Of these, only three gangs (Grove Street Families, Ballas and Los Santos Vagos) are available, and gang wars only occur in Los Santos, though it is possible to add territories in other locations through the use of mods or glitches. There is also a possibility that one territory can be controlled by two gangs (usually when a territory has not been fully taken over or if you die during reclaiming your territories) causing gang fights to break out in the territory.
You will earn 6% respect for each territory you control, plus 3% 'Running Respect.' You lose the 'Running Respect' if you lose a territory. You can also earn 'Running Respect' by killing enemy gang members. A Grove Street Families member's death causes a loss of running respect nearly as great as losing a territory. Taking over all of the territories isn't required for 100% Completion but taking over 35% of territories is required to trigger the final storyline mission, End of the Line.
Taking over enemy territory
| Enemy territory | During a war | Grove Street territory |
|---|
To take over an enemy gang's territory, simply enter the territory and start attacking gang members. Once you've killed three gang members, you will be notified that a gang war has begun. Health and armor pickups spawn in the streets, and the first wave of gang members will move in on you.
There are a total of three waves of enemies you must defeat. In each wave, the gang member's firepower will increase, going from Micro SMGs, SMGs and Pistols in the first wave, to MP5s and AK-47s in the second and third waves. Defeating all the waves will win the gang war and cause the territory to fall under Grove Street Families control, with Grove Street members beginning to wander the area. Taking over all of the other gangs' turf in Los Santos will mean that the Grove Street Families have completely taken over Los Santos; the player's territories will no longer be attacked.
It is a challenge to take over every piece of available territory, as some are sparsely populated industrial areas where gang members rarely spawn, and there are also a few narrow slivers of territory that can be easily missed; it's possible to think all territory has been captured only to have to defend an area attacked from a previously undiscovered piece of enemy gang territory. The smallest territory is located in Temple and includes the area immediately surrounding a 24/7 store.
| Available Territories |
|---|
| East Beach |
| East Los Santos |
| El Corona |
| Ganton |
| Glen Park |
| Idlewood |
| Jefferson |
| Las Colinas |
| Little Mexico |
| Los Flores |
| Playa Del Seville |
| Santa Maria Beach |
| Temple |
| Unity Station |
| Verona Beach |
| Vinewood |
| Willowfield |
Defending Grove Street Territory
When a Grove Street Families territory is attacked by an enemy gang, the area flashes red on the map, and a flag appears on your radar. You'll also receive a pop up warning of the attack.
All enemy gang members will be present and marked on your radar. If you do not defend the territory, you will lose it to the attacking gang, and you will lose Respect.
If your territory comes under attack, you can instead head for a safehouse and save the game or to do the side missions (Paramedics) to avoid having to defend your turf.
Defending works a little differently than attacking: there is only a single wave of enemy gang members, and it is not necessary to engage them on foot, so running them over with a vehicle (a Rhino is particularly effective, plus you can shoot them with its gun) is an option.
Recruiting Gang Members
You can recruit gang members. Once they are recruited, you have the option of either calling them to you, having them stay put, or allowing them to scatter. If your respect is above 1%, you can recruit 2 members; above 10%, 3 members; above 20%, 4 members; above 40%, 5 members; above 60%, 6 members, above 80%, 7 members.
If gang members are following you, they will attack any person that attacks you. They will also attack anyone you attack. If you attack an enemy gang member, your gang member will attack any member of that gang. When you are driving in a car and there are enemy gang members walking down the street your members will attack them automatically if they have a weapon. If the police are chasing you they will shoot at the police also.
Unlocking More Territory
If you take a plane and fly east or west for 15 or more minutes then crash the plane in the water & let Carl drown, there will be more Gang Territory unlocked all over San Andreas after you re-spawn at a hospital.
Gta San Andreas Territory Glitch Xbox One
Now this method will give Grove Street, Ballas and Los Santos Vagos territory across the entire map. These territories won't come under attack and it is hard to take them from the rival gangs since they will rarely spawn gang members in them.
Repeat this method to unlock more territory.
