Darts

Darts are an Activity in Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes.

This is an optional endeavor, but it is required for 100% completion of the game. It's not time-sensitive, meaning it can be played at any point, even after the main storyline is completed.

This side activity is also present in GTA Online and Grand Theft Auto V.

Darts - Activity Details:

Darts is an activity that can be played in Grand Theft Auto: IV, either while on friend activities or alone, against a random opponent.

The two locations in Liberty City that serve as Dart venues (but also drinking places) are the Steinway Beer Garden in Dukes and the Lucky Winkles in Algonquin.

Darts: Rules

These are the general rules of a GTA IV Darts game:

Points are scored by hitting the 20 numbered sections on the darts board, which are numbered from 1 to 20.
- The number on the outer rim of the board represents its base points value.
- Hitting a large portion (black or white) of a section scores its base points value.
- Hitting an outer (red or green) band of a section scores you double points for that dart.
- Hitting the inner (red or green) band of a section scores you triple points for that dart.
- The bullseye is the circle in the center of the board. Hitting the outer ring scores you 25 points, while the inner circle (the bull) scores you 50 points.
The purpose of the game is to reduce your score to exactly zero from 301, before your opponent does.
The winning dart (the dart that reduces your score to 0) must hit a double or the bull. Not doubling out has your score reset to the previous score, and ends your turn (this is called a bust). Reducing your score to 1 also leads to a bust, as it is impossible to score a 1 with a double.

During aiming, the player's crosshair trembles violently, making aiming difficult. Focusing for a few seconds allows the player to finely adjust their aim to hit the desired area.
