1) Ballas

The Ballas are among the most hated characters in San Andreas. It is a street gang that appears in both 3D and HD Universe Los Santos. The gang members are very hostile towards the protagonists and sometimes attack them without any reason. As a result, many fans, including Redditor u/ToonUni cited the Ballas as the most hated GTA antagonist gangs.

In 3D Universe, the Ballas gang was the main rival of the Grove Street Families gang. The HD Universe protagonists do not have any rivalry with them. But, the Ballas will attack Franklin most of the time.

2) Leone Crime Family

The Leone Crime Family was the second most-cited GTA antagonist gang in the thread. They operate in the 3D Universe Liberty City and are extremely hostile towards Claude. While fans love many little details in Grand Theft Auto 3, getting ambushed by the Leone Crime Family is certainly not the one.

Therefore, various fans, including Redditor u/MoNotFound20 stated the Leone Crime Family among one of the most hated GTA antagonist groups. It is worth noting that Claude was once a loyal member of the Leone Crime Family until the Sayonara Salvatore mission.

3) Merryweather Security Consulting

Merryweather Security Consulting is undoubtedly one of the most hated GTA antagonist groups in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series. It is a private militia that has access to various advanced and military-grade weapons and hardware. While the Grand Theft Auto 5 protagonists beat Merryweather Security Consulting several times in the storyline, they are not someone to deal with during freeroam.

According to Redditor u/Memeulous-short, the Merryweather group is very vocal while dealing with the players. Since they are a private army, they have sharpshooting skills and can annihilate the protagonists within seconds.

4) Liberty City Triads

The Liberty City Triads are another emeny of Claude. One of the most intriguing facts about Grand Theft Auto 3 is that the Triads were always hostile towards the protagonist due to his affiliation with the Leone Crime Family. However, they became one of the most hated GTA antagonist groups towards the end of the game’s storyline.

According to Redditor u/GrandEastCone, the members of the Liberty City Triads become unbearable after you finish the game. They will attack Claude whenever they see him in the street. Since the GTA antagonist gang has a sizable network, it becomes very difficult for the protagonist to avoid clashing with them.

5) The Lost Motorcycle Club

While fans loved The Lost Motorcycle Club in The Lost and Damned DLC, they become enemies of the Grand Theft Auto 5 protagonists. The gang is a sworn enemy of Trevor Philips. One of the crazy details in Grand Theft Auto 5 is that whenever Trevor visits any area of The Lost MC, they will start attacking him at sight.

Therefore, Redditor u/Tickey4u and many others voted The Lost Motorcycle Club as one of the most hated GTA antagonist gangs in the series.
