BZ Gas
Thrown · Unknown · Non-lethal gas grenade
The BZ Gas is a non-lethal thrown weapon used primarily for incapacitating enemies. It releases a cloud of gas that causes affected individuals to lose consciousness, making it useful for stealth operations.
Overview
The BZ Gas is a specialized thrown weapon in Grand Theft Auto V, designed to incapacitate rather than kill. It emits a cloud of gas upon detonation, causing those within its radius to lose consciousness temporarily. This makes it an ideal choice for missions requiring stealth and non-lethal takedowns.
In the game, the BZ Gas is used in specific missions where players need to subdue enemies without attracting attention. Its effectiveness is limited to a small area, and it requires strategic placement to maximize its impact.
Performance
The BZ Gas is effective for incapacitating targets within a small radius but lacks lethal damage.
How to Obtain
The BZ Gas is not available for purchase at Ammu-Nation. It is primarily obtained during the mission 'The Jewel Store Job', where it is used to incapacitate store employees and customers.
Outside of missions, the BZ Gas is not available for use in free roam or other game modes.
