They attempt to finish of the Grove Street Families during the first mission [[Sweet & Kendl]] through a drive-by shooting on Sweet, CJ, Big Smoke and Ryder after leaving Beverly Johnson's funeral but miss and are only successful and destroying Big Smoke's car.

During the early game, the ballas are very successful at spreading crack-cocaine into [[Ganton]] and [[Grove Street]] in an attempt to weaken the Grove Street Families. By doing this, they turn members into weak and hopeless addicts while influencing high-ranking members with the money that can be made from drugs - taking them away from gang-banging (as is the case with [[B-Dup]]). However, one of their crack houses on the [[Idlewood]]/Ganton border is destroyed by CJ and [[Ryder]] on Sweet's orders during the mission [[Cleaning the Hood]]. This decreases their crack influence. In retaliation for the destruction of the crack house in Idlewood, the Kilo Tray Ballas attempt a drive-by shooting in Grove Street during the mission [[Drive-Thru]]. However, CJ, Sweet, Big Smoke and Ryder are able to catch them on the way to Grove Street when pulling out of a [[Cluckin' Bell]] drive-thru in [[Willowfield]]. A car chase follows and the Ballas car is destroyed - though Big Smoke does nothing and is more concerned with eating his food - providing one of the many early in-game hints for his true connections with the Ballas. | During the early game, the ballas are very successful at spreading crack-cocaine into [[Ganton]] and [[Grove Street]] in an attempt to weaken the Grove Street Families.

On the streets, the Ballas are either unarmed or carry the 9mm [[pistol]] or the [[micro-SMG]] sub-machine gun. In missions and the gang-war mini-game, they are more heavily armed with [[AK-47]] assault rifles, [[baseball bat]]'s, [[MP5]] sub-machine guns, [[Tec-9]] sub-machine guns, and [[Pump Action Shotgun]]'s. During the final mission,[End of the Line - the Ballas are also equipped with the [[M4]] assault rifle. | On the streets, the Ballas are either unarmed or carry the 9mm [[pistol]] or the [[micro-SMG]] sub-machine gun.

The Ballas are some of Los Santos' most notorious and successful drug dealers and suppliers (especially the crack cocaine trade). Unlike the Grove Street Families, the Ballas have no reservations about making money by selling drugs; the spread of crack cocaine into the Grove Street community is part of their strategy to wipe the GSF out. They are described by the [[Los Santos Police Department]] as being "lawless", "mindless" and thought to be uncontrollable and that attempts to infiltrate have mainly failed. | |||
As with the other gangs in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Ballas have three different skins that walk and drive around their territory.
