Counts once toward the 42 hobbies and pastimes
Player notes
After Crystal Maze, Michael, Franklin or Trevor can approach the dartboard at the Yellow Jack Inn in the Grand Senora Desert, near Sandy Shores. They can play while spending time with another character or take on a local opponent alone. A match begins at the board with both players on 301 points.
Each turn, the player throws three darts at the numbered board. Black and white sections award their printed value, the outer coloured ring doubles it and the inner coloured ring triples it. The outer bull scores 25 and the centre bull scores 50. While lining up a throw, the aim shakes, though it can be steadied briefly for a more precise shot.
The score falls with every successful hit as the players race to reach exactly zero. The final dart has to land in a double section or the bull. If a player goes below zero, or leaves a score that cannot be finished with a double, that turn is voided and the previous score remains. The game ends when one player checks out correctly at the Yellow Jack Inn.
Trivia
- โThe fletching of the darts feature characteristics related to the characters playing darts, including:
- โNiko Bellic: Colors of the flag of Russia.
- โRoman Bellic: Game art of the unnamed bikini-clad woman from GTA Vice City, reflecting his love for women.
- โLittle Jacob: A marijuana leaf, reflecting his avid use of marijuana. Also used when Luis Lopez is playing with Henrique Bardas.
- โPatrick McReary: A caricature of a drunk, pants-less Irish man (similar to that of the Lucky Winkles' logo). Also used when Luis Lopez is playing with Armando Torres.
- โAny girlfriend or a random opponent (when not playing with a friend): The Flag of Scotland, likely referencing Rockstar North. Also used when Luis Lopez is playing with a random opponent.
- โJohnny Klebitz: Flag of the Confederate Army.
- โThere are two more designs that are not used in the games:
- โFirst with this screenshot from GTA San Andreas.
- โSecond with a golden dollar sign (similar to the Dollar Chain from Didier Sachs) on a black background.
- โThere is a Darts board at Tequi-la-la in GTA V, so it can be assumed it probably was another location for Darts, which was cut when the bar's interior was closed (with exception of the Vinewood Souvenirs side mission).
- โIn GTA V, the dartboards are manufactured by Bullshot Dartboards.
- โIn GTA V, just like Tennis, darts can only be played with one friend at a time.
- โIn GTA Online, the option to play as a single player, without opponent, is available. No NPC opponents are provided.
