Changes: Federal Bureau of Investigation

Revision as of 16:48, 27 July 2014

For the Law Agency in the HD Universe, see Federal Investigation Bureau.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is an Agency in Grand Theft Auto 2 and the 3D Era, and is based off the real-life FBI law enforcement agency.

Description

Grand Theft Auto 2

In Grand Theft Auto 2, the FBI will only appear when Claude Speed acquires 5 stars. They are the third type of law enforcement to appear during a wanted level, with the first being the Police, the second being the SWAT and the last being the Military.

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

The FBI is the third level of law enforcement that pursues the player. The FBI will only appear when the player's wanted level reaches five stars, before the Army on six stars.

FBI Agents wear blue jackets with "FBI" printed on the back in nearly all of the GTA III era games (excluding GTA III itself). In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories they wear black vests over grey t-shirts with "FBI" printed on the back with dark glasses. The FBI agents are well armed in all appearances, and their vehicles are generally extremely fast. The FBI comes with four agents in each car, and since they are well armed and very accurate, they will kill the player extremely quickly if they have an open range. They carry MP5s in all of the GTA III era games except for Grand Theft Auto III, where this weapon is unavailable, and instead they carry AK-47s and pistols (when killed).

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, their headquarters are located in Torrington, Staunton Island, Liberty City.

Trivia

In GTA III, the CIA Agents (guarding the Shoreside Lift Bridge in Marked Man) and Liberty City Port Authority officers (in the hangar from Grand Theft Aero) share the same character polygon as the FBI Agents. However, the CIA Agents wear all black, while the Port Authority have different caps.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, some missions have FBI wielding Micro SMGs instead of SMGs. The same case is equivalent to the SWAT in missions wielding SMGs instead of Micro SMGs.
The FBI Washington in GTA Vice City Stories is the only FBI vehicle in all of the GTA series to be colored white.
The FBI in GTA Vice City Stories seem to be one of the most hostile in the GTA III era as their blockades will instantly blow up or heavily damage your car on sight. The best way to maneuver through a blockade is to get a bullet-proof car.
In the GTA III 10th Anniversary Edition, the FBI agents have had the lettering changed from FBI to FIB. This does not apply to the name of the FBI Car, however.
In HD Universe, Rockstar changed the name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) because of legal issues with the real Federal Bureau of Investigation.

-===GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars===
-In GTA IV, the agency is known as the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB), presumably to avoid conflict with the real FBI. The name is also a play on words, since ''fib'' is a synonym of lie.
-As the [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level system changed]] in GTA IV, they now appear at four stars, sometimes along with the [[NOOSE]] to assist the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]], and more heavily at five and six, and will expertly drive and doggedly follow the player. They now drive [[FIB Buffalo]]es with four agents to a car and will either shoot at the player out their windows or try to spin the player out if the player is in a car. FIB Agents with their SMGs can make short work of a player's getaway vehicle if he doesn't outrun or take out the FIB Buffalo(es) quickly. They are equipped with half or full armor. On foot, agents are typically armed with [[AR-15|Carbine Rifles]], although some agents carry [[Pump Shotgun]]s and [[SMG]]s instead. Additionally in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], agents carry the [[Automatic Shotgun]] and the [[Assault SMG]]. FIB agents are highly accurate, landing more shots than the [[NOOSE]] Tactical Response Unit Officers ; meaning that if a player stops moving while being chased by them, they will be ''quickly'' cut down. However, FIB Agents are more susceptible to return fire, making them more likely to [[File:GTAIV_FIB_in_SA.png|thumb|210px|The Original Model of the FIB Agents.]]drop their weapons when shot.
-Unlike the LCPD and NOOSE, both of which employ young to middle-aged Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic officers, the FIB is solely employed by late middle-aged Caucasian men. They use different types of uniforms ; some FIB Agents wear random clothes with navy blue jacket with "FIB" printed in black letters on their backs with an eagle design. Other FIB Agents wear random clothes with their distinctive blue track jackets with "FIB" printed in black letters on the back and on sleeves. Other FIB Agents wear black suit pants with a white shirt and a black combat vest and a badge around their neck reading "FIB". All [[File:FIB_SA_in_white_shirt_and_black_combat_vest.png|thumb|FIB Agents in white shirt and black combat vest.]]FIB Agents carry their FIB badges on the neck. In GTA IV, when the player reaches a certain level, they unlock an "FIB" hat for their multiplayer avatar.
-In the TLAD missions [[Bad Cop Drop]], [[Politics]], and [[Off Route]] and in the TBoGT mission [[Going Deep]], the FIB Agents employed are of African American, Caucasian and Asian descent, and wear different apparel, such as suits and ties, overcoats, blue FIB track coats, and others who wear a tactical vest with the letters "FIB" printed in yellow on the front and the back.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA: Chinatown Wars]], the agency is also named FIB. FIB agents wear a grey outfit. After gaining 4 stars wanted level, the FIB will be dispatched to the area. Instead of driving [[FIB Buffalo]]es, they instead drive black [[FBI Rancher|FIB Ranchers]] (similar to a [[Cavalcade]] with modified headlights and grilles). Due to the fact that law enforcement vehicles don't usually skillfully chase the player, or even follow at all at high speeds, the FIB can be easily evaded due to their slow FIB Ranchers. However, unless the player gets rid of the wanted stars, there will be just more FIB Ranchers spawning in front after they're evaded.
-On foot, agents carry [[Micro SMG]]s (same weapon as NOOSE in GTA Chinatown Wars). The Agents attack the player similar ways as NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers does, except with more gun fire.
-===GTA V===
-The FIB headquarters in Grand Theft Auto V is located in [[Downtown Los Santos (GTA V)|Downtown]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] and they will be involved in some missions.
-One of the protagonists, [[Michael (GTA V)|Michael]], went to the FIB's witness protection program after a life of crime, to which he is drawn back into as shown in the [[GTA V/Trailer|first trailer]], the [[Grand Theft Auto V/Screenshots|screenshots]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V/Artworks|artworks]] for GTA V.
