This comparison breaks down how many NPC kills are required to trigger the one police wanted level across different open-world games, using the same test approach in each title.

Games compared

GTA 5 – Wanted level increases up to 5 stars. Escalation is based on cumulative violent actions; repeated kills rapidly push the meter, but the exact count varies depending on location, response cooldowns, and how fast enemies are eliminated.

GTA Vice City – Classic 6-star system. Stars rise with continued police and civilian kills; fewer actions are needed per star compared to newer GTA titles, making escalation faster overall.

Watch Dogs: Legion – Uses an alert/escalation tier rather than stars. Lethal force against civilians and police raises response intensity (CT drones, Albion units). Thresholds depend on district security and time between actions.

Watch Dogs 2 – Similar tiered response system. Non-lethal actions raise heat slowly; kills escalate much faster, bringing armored units and helicopters.
