Darts

Overview

Darts is an activity in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Boards are found at two bars: the Steinway Beer Garden in Dukes and Lucky Winkles in Algonquin. The player can play alone against a stranger, with a friend or on a date. Both sides start on 301 points and take turns throwing three darts, subtracting whatever they score. The first player to reach exactly zero wins, but the final dart has to land in a double or the bullseye. Going past zero, finishing without a double, or being left on 1 is a bust, which resets the score to where the turn began.

Walkthrough

1. Go to the Steinway Beer Garden or Lucky Winkles, alone or during an outing.
2. Start a game at the dartboard.
3. Aim at the numbered segments: the wide areas score face value, the outer ring doubles it and the inner ring triples it.
4. Use the outer bull for 25 points or the inner bull for 50.
5. Work your score down to a number you can finish with a double or the bull.
6. Reach exactly zero before your opponent.

Tips

• The crosshair wobbles while aiming; hold the steady-aim control to calm it briefly before you throw.
• Triple 20 is the most valuable target, and three in one turn give the maximum 180.
• Plan your last few throws so you never end up on 1.
• Aim for an even number in the late game so a single double can finish it.

Rewards and unlocks

• "One Hundred And Eighty" achievement for scoring 180 with three darts.
• Required for 100% completion.
