'''Perseus''' is a clothing store in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] that sells expensive suits and flashy clothes. It is one of only three clothing chains where the player can purchase clothes in GTA IV, the other two being the [[Russian Shop]] and [[Modo]], but is the most upscale clothing store available to the player in the game. | '''Perseus''' is a clothing store in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] that sells expensive suits and flashy clothes.

Being a top-of-the-line business, Perseus has an elegant appearance inside and out. Inside is Marcus, who serves as the attendant cashier, and one security guard. The guard will yell at Niko should he be holding a weapon. There are two rows of clothing and some additional clothing hanging on the wall. | Being a top-of-the-line business, Perseus has an elegant appearance inside and out.

*The | * The name "Perseus" refers to either the mythological character [[wp:Perseus|Perseus]], or the Estonian "Perse uss", which means "assworm". It can also be suggested that the word "Perseus" sounds very upper-class. | ||

*When | * The model for the guard in Perseus is reused as the man outside the [[L.C. Cage Fighters|LC Fight Club]], and [[Abdul Amir]]'s personal bodyguard during "[[Caught with your Pants Down]]". | ||
* When the player purchases a full suit at Perseus in GTA IV (a suit that includes both a jacket and trousers) the game automatically changes his previous separate clothing items (both tops and bottoms) to those of the full suit. However, parts of the full suits can still be combined with clothes from Modo or the Russian Shop. This can be done by purchasing clothes from either shop while wearing the Perseus suit, which replaces part of the suit with the purchased clothing, but leaves the other part behind. This can be also accomplished in the wardrobe, by selecting a full suit and accepting to wear it, then re-entering the wardrobe and navigating through other purchased clothing (when navigating through the Wardrobe, search through the clothing to the right, this will avoid re-selecting a full suit. If you do select another full suit by accident, leave the Wardrobe and re-enter it again). | |||
* A Perseus store is a very good place to start a massacre and achieve the "One Man Army" achievement. To do this, the player has to kill lots of people (outside and inside the Perseus store) and once you've reached 6 stars, hide inside the store. If cops come inside, just kill them. You should have a new achievement. Also, once the achievement has been obtained, the player can simply flee to the Middle Park East Safehouse or Playboy X's Penthouse (provided the player spares Dwayne Forge in the mission The Holland Play) and save the game, restoring the player's health and eliminating the wanted level. | |||
** The same method above can be used to earn lots of money, weapons and ammunition if the player wishes or needs to, except that once the player runs out of people to murder, or their health runs low, they must immediately flee and lose the wanted level or they risk getting [[Wasted]] or [[Busted]] (and lose the money that they worked hard to earn, and, in the case of being busted, weapons, armour and ammunition). | |||
