Weapon pickup with a red halo in GTA III

A pickup is a spinning object (with a glowing halo in GTA III and Vice City) that can disappear when the player goes through it or interacts with it. If the model is a usable weapon, the player can "pick" it up and use it. Some pickups are created as collectibles. They are usually difficult to find but collecting them is required for a 100% completion of the game. Mines are classified as a type of pickup though their usage is limited to GTA III. Nearly all pickups are saved in block 7 of the save file in GTA III, block 8 in Vice City, and block 6 in San Andreas. Other than script-based creations listed below, the only other time a pickup is created in the game is when a character dies and drops money or weapons.

Pac-Man pickups

Platinum pickups in GTA III

Pac-Man pickups are a collection of pickups unique to GTA III. The entire collection is interestingly named "Pac Man" and the pickups "Power Pills," references to the Pac-Man arcade game. They can only be collected while the player is in a vehicle and have a spinning halo that is unique from all other pickups in the game. There are two types of pickups: "race" used for donkey magazines during "Big'N'Veiny", and "scramble" used for platinums during "Bullion Run". These pickups cannot be saved into the save file.

02C5 Gets the number of donkey magazine pickups collected
02C6 Removes all donkey magazine and platinum pickups
