| Apr 25, 2012 at 15:40 | comment | added | agent86 | @jsnlxndrlv, yep, that's why I mention "There are some challenges that require you to anger or fight with gang members, and sometimes getting into a random fight is the best way to finish these" in my answer. It's possible to get gang kills even in a 100% complete game. (see this answer for more on the subject) This is all kind of tangential to the question, however. | |

Headshots and nutshots, taunting/complimenting gang members, and specialist kills all require the presence of gang members, and getting a swarm of Deckers or Morningstar around you before wiping rep at a shop is a good way to make progress on any of these. That last step is basically compulsory for most of the game, but it's important to appreciate gang fights for the opportunity they are, before the gangs vanish from the face of this dying earth. | |

There is no concept of "winning" the random fights - but as agen86 points out there are some "non-random" fights that have benefits. I'll also point out a) Later in the game, you can get buffs that auto decrease your gang rep rapidly, making the random fights end by themselves if you don't stoke the blaze actively. b) Late in the game you can make yourself immune to nearly every form of death, making gang fights like the buzzing of flies to me. | |

I was more trying to point out that getting into these fights doesn't earn achievements or advance the game in any significant way. | |
