• Temporary Health / Overhealth (Green): Some abilities (e.g., Brigitte's Repair Pack, Junker Queen's Commanding Shout) grant temporary health that decays over time, appearing as green on the health bar. This acts as an extra buffer above normal health/armor/shields.

Primarily for cosmetic and role-playing purposes.

Each of the three protagonists has unique special abilities: Michael can slow down time in combat (like bullet time); Franklin can slow down time while driving; Trevor can enter a rage mode, dealing more damage and taking less. Player stats (Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Lung Capacity) improve through repeated use of related actions.
