GTA IV Collectibles Guide

Latest posts by Jasmine Butler (see all)

Despite being a huge map, Grand Theft Auto IV doesn’t have as many collectibles as its predecessor Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Rockstar Games stripped it down, giving the game more of a story and mission focus than the collectibles.

There is really just one collectible in Liberty City. Yes, we also have the Stunt Jumps, but they aren’t always categorized as a collectible and more just as something Rockstamir has added to the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ theme.

I enjoy the collectible side of an open-world game, so I was pretty disappointed that GTA IV lacked in that area. Thankfully, Grand Theft Auto V brought back the collectibles and added special missions to some when they were complete, like the Leonora Johnson murder mystery.

Personally, I would have enjoyed a LA Noire-style collectible mystery in Liberty City, especially when there are heavy mafia ties in the Big Apple-inspired game.

Alas, here’s a complete GTA IV Collectibles guide with everything you need to know about the GTA IV’s main collectibles.

Pigeons

No one is a fan of them. I’m certainly not. I live in London, and they are everywhere, hunting down people and trying to steal their food from their hands, nasty little things. So it comes as no surprise that Rockstar wants Niko to hunt down and destroy the pigeons of Liberty City. They’re also hilariously called flying rats.

There are 200 to hunt down, and they’re pretty easy to spot as they have a red hue. Let’s take a look at where you can find the pesky creatures.

To make it easy, as there are just so many to find, I’ve split the list into five main areas and tried to bunch them up in neighborhoods as much as possible. It is a long old list, but hopefully, it helps those struggling.

Reward

Annihilator helicopter
Image From GTA Fandom

If you didn’t lose patience and successfully found and eliminated all 200 pigeons, there is a reward at the end. An Annihilator helicopter will be unlocked for the player to use and is located at the helipad near Star Junction. Although, Rockstar didn’t plan this well as you need a helicopter to get to the helipad!

FAQ’s

Question: Are there collectibles in the Episodes from Liberty City?

Answer: Yes, but they’re just as lackluster as the main game. In The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, players need to hunt down 50 seagulls in a similar fashion to the pigeons.

Question: Do you need to get all the pigeons for 100% completion in GTA IV?

Answer: You do. Getting rid of all 200 pigeons counts toward 2.5% completion of the whole game.

Question: Do you get a trophy for getting all 200?

Answer: Once all 200 are done, you’ll be rewarded with the “Endangered Species” trophy. I hope that name doesn’t mean we’ve helped Niko eliminate a dying breed!
