GTA V has a broad variety of weapons, including sticky bombs. This item made its series debut in The Ballad of Gay Tony, a DLC for GTA IV released in 2009.

This is a mission for Trevor where he uses the sticky bombs to destroy a trailer park. Once completed, he travels to Vinewood Hills to find Michael. After that, it becomes part of the player’s arsenal.
