The Statistics system in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas allows players to track and improve CJ's various skills. These stats influence gameplay, from how long CJ can sprint to how accurately he can shoot.

Statistics:

  • Stamina — Affects how long CJ can sprint, cycle, swim, and fight. Can be improved by running, cycling, or swimming.
  • Shooting — Affects accuracy with firearms. Improved by using weapons.
  • Strength — Affects CJ's melee damage and ability to wield heavier weapons. Improved by lifting weights or engaging in melee combat.
  • Flying — Affects control of aircraft. Improved by flying planes or helicopters.
  • Driving — Affects control of vehicles. Improved by driving.
  • Lung Capacity — Affects how long CJ can hold his breath underwater. Improved by swimming.
  • Respect — Affects how gang members react to CJ and influences mission availability. Improved by completing missions and engaging in gang warfare.

HUD: The Heads-Up Display provides real-time information on CJ's current stats, including health, armor, money, and wanted level.

Working Out: Gyms in Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas allow CJ to train and improve his Strength and Stamina stats.

Clothes: Purchasing different outfits can provide minor stat boosts or affect CJ's appearance.

Haircuts: Certain hairstyles may offer slight aesthetic changes but do not impact stats.

Tattoos: Tattoos are purely cosmetic and do not affect CJ's abilities.

Girlfriends: Interacting with girlfriends can unlock unique abilities or rewards, but do not directly impact core stats.

Car Modification: While car modification shops allow for vehicle upgrades, they do not influence CJ's personal stats.

Mini-Games: Participating in various mini-games can offer rewards and sometimes contribute to stat improvement indirectly (e.g., playing pool can increase Strength).

2-Player Mode: Some activities in 2-player mode may offer stat-boosting opportunities.

Turf Wars: Engaging in turf wars can increase CJ's Respect and potentially improve combat-related stats.
