Hint: Programmer message:
Go to the parking lot where you had to take out the men with bombs on their
chests. Use the Dodo or a pile of cars to get on the other side of the wall
that surrounds the area. Once in there, look for a poster with the secret
message.
Hint: Police bribe:
Get 7 kills in a row in vigilante mode to unlock a police bribe that is
available at your hideout.
Hint: Flying Dodo car:
Take the Dodo to the very end of the runway. Turn it around so its facing
away from the edge. Hold X to build up momentum, while holding Up. Once
you get enough speed, quickly hold Down. Once airborne, use normal controls
to level out the car. Note: The small wings make extended flight extremely
difficult, if not impossible.
Hint: Full-winged flying Dodo:
On the S.A.M. mission, go to the place where the Dodo is coming in, then
shoot it down. Enable the "Repair vehicles" code and the Dodo
will stop burning. Get in it and fly it now.
Follow the S.A.M. mission through as usual, Go to the floating markers
that are in the water, get on the runway (do not shoot down the plane),
then kill the Cartel members. When the plane lands, steal it from the pilot.
Hint: Items:
The following items are always available at your safe house, and regenerate.
The numbers indicated the number of hidden packages needed for that item.
Information in this section was contributed by Childabuse00.
10: Pistol
20: Uzi
30: Grenades
40: Shotgun
50: Armor
60: Molotov cocktail
70: AK47
80: Sniper Rifle
90: M16 or Flamethrower
100: Rocket Launcher.
Hint: Unlimited Flamethrowers:
Put out twenty fires on each of the three islands (about sixty total) to
get unlimited Flamethrowers at your hideout. Note This does not have to
be done all at once.
Hint Unlimited Health icons:
Save fifty people on paramedic missions to get unlimited health icons at
your hideout. Note This does not have to be done at once.
Hint: Unlimited Adrenaline Pills:
Save fifty people on paramedic missions to get unlimited Adrenaline Pills
at your hideout. Note This does not have to be done at once.
Hint: Easy "infinite" run:
To continue to run at a fast pace without fatigue, just tap X instead of
holding it down. This helps when trying to give your character "exercise"
so that he can run for longer periods of time as well.
To get so your character never stops running at full speed, complete all
twelve paramedic missions. These missions must be done consecutively with
the same vehicle for that effect.
Hint: Easy money:
Look out for ramps and high slopes. If you drive up them fast enough, you
can jump certain obstacles such as buildings and truck trailers. If successful,
you can get a "Insane Bonus" message, resulting in a lot of money.
When riding around in Island 2, look for a women dressed as a sprinter/jogger.
Get out, then attack and kill her. After doing so, collect the thousands
of dollars she leaves on the floor. Note: Be careful, you might alert the
cops.
After you complete the check list of cars for the Portland Docks garage,
you can take the Surcuricar and drive it into the garage around the corner.
After the second garage opens, drive in, exit the car, and you will receive
a varying amount of money. The garage is the same one as in the Van Heist
mission.
Find the old gangster walking around with a red rag --he slumps over. Kill
him to get thousands of dollars,
Enable the "Pedestrians Riot" code then kill yourself (falling
into water works best). When you appear at the hospital, two or three old
men will run over to you in order. Kill them in the order that they appeared.
After the last one is killed, $10,000 will appear around the second one.
Go to the harbor in Portland, near where you can board the ship. A lot of people will come by, which you can kill for money. No felony comes back there, so you will never get captured.
Enable the "Change costume" code until you look like a gang member.
You can now beat them up and take their money without resistance. This does
not work if you try it with cops.
Enable the "Tank" code. Each time you blow up or run over a car,
you will receive a certain amount of money.
Hint: Easy ammunition:
Note: This trick only works for guns found in your hideout. Take all the
guns, then walk into the very back of your garage. Hit the wall, then leave
the garage again. All your guns, and anything else that appears there, will
be there again. Repeat this until you have enough ammunition for your guns.
Hint: Turning better:
To turn better, press R1 instead of Square.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Get an Ice Cream Truck:
Drive around the Cartel Mansion (near your hideout/dam). Drive to the back
of the mansion and wait near the gray areas of the mountains or on top of
the hill. You will soon hear the familiar Ice Cream Truck song from Grand
Theft Auto 2. If you are fast enough, you will see the Ice Cream Truck drive
by. A fast car is recommended to chase after the truck -- once it disappears
from the screen you will not be able to see it again until another game
cycle/day. The Ice Cream Truck appears at random times.
Get a police car and press L3 to switch to vigilante mode. After a few
suspects, you will generally encounter one in an Ice Cream Truck. Hit him
a couple times or trap him so he exits. You can run him over and kill him
for some quick money, then get out of the police cruiser and into the Ice
Cream Truck. You can then hold L3 to play your music, even if the cops have
you in a high-speed pursuit. Note: If you drive slowly along the streets
with the music going, people will lean over to buy some ice cream.
Cruise the street between the Porter tunnel entrance (under your hideout)
and the Cochrane Dam (it will be on one road). Drive back and forth. If
you hear a ice cream truck song, follow it to see the truck, which appears
once a day. You can also steal a fire truck, police car, Enforcer or FBI
car then click R3 and do the vigilante missions until the ice cream truck
is found.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Secret boat:
At the airport, go to the runway that veers to the right. Get to the end,
then jump down on to the ledge to your left. Look in the water to find a
speeder.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Two speed boats:
To get two speed boats, go to the airport and get in the Dodo Cessna plane.
Drive on the runway but do not take off. When at the end of the runway,
disembark the plane and run to the speed boat that you can see. Get in and
drive around for a few seconds. Drive back and you will see a new speed
boat. Note: You must drive the Dodo to get the speed boat.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Flying Dodo:
Go past the Cartel Mansion and close to the observatory. You will see an
airplane similar to the one in Donald Love's mission. Unfortunately, you
cannot shoot it down because it is too high for missiles.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Bonus 4x4:
Complete the Mafia missions in Portland in story mode then go to Shoreside
Vale. Immediately when you get off the bridge, turn left. Follow the road
until you go past the airport. Go up the stairs where the road makes a U-turn.
Drive off the platform and turn right going at full speed. This must be
done because there is a very small piece of land at the bottom. You have
to stop quickly -- hop before you jump off the platform. After landing,
you will see a tunnel behind you. Drive the car inside and take the left
turn -- if you take the right turn, you will fall to your death. When driving
left you will see a large room with a monster truck 4x4 inside. When you
get in the truck, the platform that you are on will rise to the surface.
It will take awhile to get there. After reaching the top, safely drive it
to your garage in the same city and save the game.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Reenter Cartel mansion:
After completing the last storyline mission (rescuing Maria), the Cartel
mansion will be closed again. You can access it, however, if you are in
a Cartel Cruiser (large ugly chromed trucks). There is armor in the garage
and a package in the pool out in back.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Hidden packages:
Out on the tarmac at Frances International Airport, near the police helipad,
is a parked police car. This is useful if you are found car-less after crashing
the Dodo or in a similar predicament. There is also a hidden package on
the helipad. There are also vans scattered about, and one is in the terminal
area. If you drive around the terminal (the big, spider-like building) you
will find a hidden package.
Go to the front of the Cartel hideout in the day and face the opposite
direction as the guard is standing. Go forward, and you should see a house
on your left. Enter that yard and check the front porch. There should be
a hidden package located there or in the backyard. Be careful not to fall
in the pool. After getting the hidden packages, check in front of that house's
garage for a car you can steal.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Hummer checkpoint mission:
There is a small dirt park at the edge of the island on the residential
side. You can, if you feel lucky, drive off the road going past the mansions
and land there. Or, you can drive the switchbacks down, take a left to go
towards the water (you should be descending), take a left, then take a right
onto the dirt road at the bluff. Follow it to a Humvee that has another
checkpoint mission. Note: the Hummer can climb near-vertical walls, just
switchback your way up, going right, then left, and so on.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Import/Export:
Leave Cochrane Dam (the dam itself) going towards the industrial side. Immediately
after leaving the dirt road, there should be an opening in a wall. Enter
it, get out, and walk up to a whitish area on the wall. This is a list of
cars to steal. Swipe them, return them to the garage door next to the list,
and once all are collected you will be able to walk into the garage and
pick whichever one you want.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Purchasing the Flamethrower:
Go to the industrial side, then climb the hills until you are past the police
station, towards the dam. There should be an opening in the wall, with a
jump facing you. Go up to the jump, and turn right. Do not jump. There should
be a corridor of crates and objects. Accelerate down it, and jump off the
jump located there. Your car will land in a group of storage garages. There
is health (free), armor (free), and Molotov Cocktails ($5,000) and the Flamethrower
($25,000) scattered about. If your car is not totaled, there is a road hidden
behind the end garage on the Molotov side that leads up to the police station;
or you can just make the small jump off the trailer.
Hint: Shoreside Vale: Cars driving off bridge:
When part of the bridge rises, tap a car with your car. Most of the time
they will casually drive off the bridge. This also happens if you shoot
the cars.
Hint: Staunton Island: Get to Shoreside Vale early:
Obtain a Cheetah in Staunton Island. Then, go to the bridge that connects
Stanton Island and Shoreside Vale. There will be a cement rail which separates
the two highway sides. Get up on that rail in the middle of the bridge.
Enable the "Dodo car" code, then drive slowly about one quarter
way down the middle rail. Stop, position yourself straight, and floor it
off the end of the bridge. Once in the air, turn slightly to the right or
left to land on the road (and not the middle rail).
Information in this section was contributed by Aeris and Vulcan, jon k,
and karkar.
Note: If you do the Dodo car trick to get to Staunton Island, you can just
take the tunnel to Shoreside Vale instead of flying it again.
Get a boat from the dock at Staunton Island. Enable the "Better driving
skills" code and drive the boat to the pipeline. Press L3 or R3 and
the boat will jump over the pipe.
Enable the "Better driving skills" code at Staunton Island. Go
to the hospital in a car. Jump on to the roof, then jump over the hidden
package. Turn right and keep going straight. You will hit a wall and go
through it. You will end up in the tunnel that leads to Shoreside Vale.
Enable the "Better driving skills" code, then start off from
the entrance to the hospital. Walk up the stairs, then steal a nearby car
(faster cars recommended). Then, speed up to the nearest corner, and quickly
turn around. You should now be riding back towards the hospital. Press L3
to jump across the gap onto the lower roof of the hospital. Then, drive
into the blue glass building. Your car should pass into it, then fall. Your
car should fall through the mapping, then land in a tunnel. Drive left in
the tunnel. Do not turn, and keep going straight. You should come out in
Shoreside Vale.
Hint: Staunton Island: Secret race-type mission:
Go to the Super Saver Grocery Store in Newport. Enter the car in the parking
lot to get a secret race-type mission, where you must go through check points.
Hint: Staunton Island: Secret mission:
Get a Stallion and go to your hideout. Turn around so that you are pulling
out of it. Take a left to the stop light. Then take a right at the stop
light. You will be making like a U-turn. Go straight until you see the white
parking garage to your left. Park the Stallion in front of the garage and
get out. Get back in the car to get the Multistory Mayhem mission. You will
have five minutes to collect twenty checkpoints, with four on each level.
Hint: Staunton Island: Yardie Lobo car:
Drive around your garage (around the block or elsewhere), and find a red
car with a white top and panther colored seats. This is a gang car, called
the Yardie Lobo. Once you find it, press R3 and move the Analog-stick Up,
Down, Left, Right, or diagonally to move it. Press L3 to make the car push
up and remain that way.
Press the L3 continuously to jump with your hydraulics.
Hint: Staunton Island: Easy Cheetah or Infernus:
When you load and leave your hideout, quickly run to the stoplight on your
left. As you are running you will see a Cheetah (most of the time) or Infernus
stopping at the light. Get there quickly before the light turns green.
Hint: Staunton Island: Easy kills and totaled cars:
There is a street with buildings across from each other which are lined
in glass. Load up on guns (or enable the "All weapons" code) and
go on the second floor of either of these buildings. Keep killing people
to raise your wanted level. Then, as police cars arrive, you can either
roll a grenade off the edge and blow them up, or enable the "Destroy
all cars" code. If you stay away from the edge, you will not get hurt.
Sometimes you do not even need to do any work -- when your wanted level
is 5, the FBI cars will come zooming up and often times tip themselves over
explode. Helicopters also cannot shoot you, so you can also destroy them
easily.
Hint: Staunton Island: Molotov Cocktails:
Kill yourself or go to the hospital. From the stairs, continue to go straight
until you see another pair of stairs. Go to the left and you will find some
Molotov Cocktails.
Hint: Staunton Island: Park checkpoint mission:
In the park is a Landstalker parked near the lake, next to a house. Enter
it, and you should have a fun checkpoint mission in the park.
Hint: Stauton Island: Enter stadium:
If you have access to Shoreside Vale, go to the airport and get the Dodo.
Fly above the stadium and pull back. Get out to enter the stadium.
Hint: Staunton Island: Stuck on bridge:
Park on the seam where the drawbridge to Shoreside lifts up (just past the
last light pole). The bridge will open, and your car may fall down. You
should land on the pilings and infrastructure of the bridge. From here you
can snipe pedestrians (remember to lead slightly), or shoot down police
helicopters. You cannot escape from this location.
Hint: Staunton Island: Hidden package:
There is a hidden package on the hospital roof on Stauton Island. The package
is on the corner of the building directly across from the stairs. To get
the package, park an ambulance parallel, right next to the building where
the package is located. Then, park any "van" perpendicular to
the ambulance. Then, park any "car" next to the van. Finally,
just jump onto each vehicle to get to the roof. The hospital parking lot
contains plenty of vehicles to choose from.
Hint: Staunton Island: Grand Theft Auto 2 pictures:
Go to Staunton Island and find between the two big parallel streets the
"tw@" place between big windows. If you have trouble finding this
area, start from one end of the street and drive down until you find it
-- there should be signs in the room that say "tw@". There should
be a lot of computers in there, and some of them will have pictures from
Grand Theft Auto 2.
Hint: Staunton Island: Pervert:
On Staunton Island, go to Liberty Campus. Find the man with a large black
coat that is holding a pad of paper. Kill him with any gun (sniper rifle
recommended). When he is lying on the ground, use the sniper rifle to zoom
in on the pad of paper he is holding. You should see that he drew a picture
of male genitalia urinating.
Hint: Portland: Get to Staunton Island early:
Use the following trick to get to Staunton Island before the bridge is fixed
and before the subway is open. Go to the bridge to Staunton Island. Go past
where the blockage cones are located, to basically be on the bridge. Enable
the "Dodo car" code (press Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1,
R1), then the "Tank" code (press Circle(6), R1, L2, L1, Triangle,
Circle, Triangle). Make sure you are all the way back to get enough room
to take off using the tank (as a plane). Start firing the cannon backwards
and accelerate. Keep firing the cannon backwards, and just as you get to
the edge where the bridge has been broken, you will take off. Try and get
back on the ground. If done correctly you will now be on Staunton Island.
Note: When you cross the bridge, the "Welcome To Staunton Island"
screen will appear to confirm success. Note: You can use nearly any car,
but the tank has a better ability to fly higher.
Steal an Ambulance from Sweeney Hospital. Go to the bridge and enable the
"Better driving skills" code. Drive your ambulance on the road
towards the bridge and press L3 just before the road starts to dip down.
If done correctly, you should make it across, but your ambulance will probably
tip over and explode. Make sure you are out of the way, then run into Staunton
Island.
Hint: Portland: Fastest car:
In Portland, go to the Capital Autos shop. Take a big car and ram it into
the glass on the store to break it. Inside a Banshee, which is the fastest
car in the game and resembles a Shelby.
Hint: Portland: Faster taxis:
Get 100 fares in cab mode to unlock faster taxis available at Borgnine in
Harwood in Portland.
Hint: Portland: BF Injector:
Complete the Mafia missions in story mode to unlock the BF Injector buggy.
Return to Portland and go to the Diablo parking lot (where the mission phone
is located) between 19:00to 24:00 to find the same buggy glimpsed in Joey's
garage from the Mafia mission. It will appear in the same location and change
color each time.
Hint: Portland: Easy FBI car:
Use the following trick to get an FBI car easily when you are trying to
get all the law enforcement cars on the ship. Go to your hideout in Portland
and stay just inside of the entrance to the street. Take out your weapons
and start shooting cars that pass you by Rockets work very well. When you
get your warning level to five stars, the FBI cars will come after you.
They will be so out of control that they will crash into the wall in front
of you. Run to the back of your hideout by the garage, then run back up
to the FBI car. Get in and drive it the few feet to your garage and save
the game. Then, load the game to get rid of all the cops and take it to
the harbor.
Hint: Portland: Easy police cars:
During the night at the police station, one of the two police cars is unlocked
most of the time. Get in it and steal it. You can get a wanted level if
a cop sees you taking it.
Hint: Portland: Rare cars for Import/Export Garage:
Rare cars can be found at various times throughout the day (seems random)
along the closest four lane road that passes the stadium on the north side
of Staunton Island. Drive back and forth along this stretch of road from
the bridge to underneath the Shoreside Vale Bridge (that raises and lowers).
You should be able to find all the hard to find vehicles such as the Securicar,
Bus, Coach, and Trashmaster. Mr. Whoopee (Ice Cream Truck) and Trashmaster
can be obtainedby doing police or fire missions.
Hint: Portland: Hidden package:
Take the pill that is in the Portland docks, hidden between two mobile homes.
Then, run towards the ships until you find the building with the stairs.
Run up the stairs to get on top of the roof. Across from you on the roof
is a package. Run as fast as you can and jump just before you fall off the
end. You should make it if the pill has not worn off yet.
Hint: Portland: Hidden mission:
There is a place on your map the do not show where you can accept a mission.
Go to where The J (Joey's) was located. Go directly north from there until
reaching the next building (which is very close) . There should be a phone
there. Answer it if it is ringing to get the mission.
Hint: Portland: Easy money:
In Portland, near Toni's place, is an alley with a parked van marked "Toyz".
Get in the van to play a rampage mini-game involving an RC car with a bomb
attached to it. You get $1000 for each Mafia car you destroy. This game
can be played as many times as needed.
Hint: Portland: Flamethrower:
Get a decent car, such as the cab or something that is not too heavy. Drive
from your hideout in Portland to the end of the road to your left. Turn
around, and drive on the grass under the monorail tracks. On the left section
of grass will be a jump made out of concrete. Jump off it, and try to land
on the monorail tracks, or at least on the stairway so you are facing the
same way that you were driving. Drive in-between the tracks, as you do not
want to take a chance at getting knocked off by the monorail. You will soon
see a glowing circle on your right, which is the flamethrower. Drive over
to it, and park next to the ledge-type object below it. Jump onto the hood
of the car and take the flamethrower. Save the game at this point, as it
may be difficult to get it again.
Hint: Portland: Molotov cocktails:
Go to 8-Ball's auto yard, and take the path leading to the garage. Before
you enter the garage is a path leading left. Take this path, then go straight
until you find train tracks. Turn right following, the train tracks. This
leads into a tunnel. Keep going until you find a group of bums. Run over
and kill them. They will leave Molotov cocktails and a hidden package.
Hint: Portland: Paper body targets:
Go by Luigi's club, but turn in the alley to your right. There will be three
paper body targets located there.
Hint: Portland: Drive on elevated train tracks:
In the highest area of Portland is elevated train station. The path leading
up to the tracks is large enough to fit a car.
Hint: Portland: Get on Chinatown rooftops:
Go to the jump that has a parking lot before it. Enable the "Better
driving skills" code. Go off the jump against the wall and try to make
it on the train tracks. Go a little father and you will see a building close
to the tracks. Go as fast as possible to jump from the tracks to the building.
Hint: Portland: Free law enforcement cars without risk of felony:
At the dock in Portland, where there is an area that has yellow stripes,
if you can manage to take the police car, the Enforcer, the FBI car, the
Barracks OL, the Rhino, an ambulance, and a fire truck, there will be Grand
Theft Auto 3 icons that have the name of each car above them. Walk into
one. The crane will bring that vehicle off the ship and put it into the
area with yellow stripes.
Hint: Portland: Car dealer:
When you are getting off the bridge going to Portland, take the first right.
Follow the curve then turn right. Next take the first right again into a
parking lot. When you are in the parking lot, turn left and go between the
buildings. When between the buildings, turn left. When you get out of the
building, turn right to find the a garage that you use to collect cars.
When you get all the cars, you will get a big cash bonus and unlimited amount
of cars that you delivered.
Hint: Portland: Rock:
On the high bluff just past Salvatore's Gentleman's Club, you can see the
lighthouse. Enable the "Dodo car" code, get a Banshee or other
fast car, and it will be possible to jump/fly to the lighthouse. Note: It
is impossible to escape from the rock. You will slide into the water if
you stop moving.
Hint: Bomb Da Base mission: Kill guards easily:
Go to the ware boating dock and drop off 8-Ball in the blue light. Turn
around and head for the entrance. Take the first left, then another left.
There should be a flight of stairs located there. Go up the stairs and get
on the roof, close enough to where you can see the guards. Hold L1 to aim,
and press Square to zoom in. Shoot the first two guards at the entrance
ramp. Note: If you shoot the one at the top of the screen, the one near
the bottom will shoot at you. Shoot the guard that is shooting at you. Go
up to the boat and shoot the rest of the guards, working from left to right.
Move quickly, but not too fast where you will not have any accuracy.
Use the following trick to kill the guards on the ship easily, and allow
8-Ball to blow it up. Run toward the ship, then turn right after the building.
Keep running all the way until the trails. You can find some drugs there.
Take them, and run back along the building -- it is better to run with the
fist and the X tapped. Climb the stairs on the left (at the end of the building).
Position yourself on the roof facing the ship. Now you have a lot of time
to aim at and kill the guards, until the effect of the drugs fades away.
Enable the "Full armor" and "All weapons" codes. When
8-Ball tells you to find a good vantage point, instead use R2 to get to
your Uzi and enable the "Tank" code. Get in the Tank and drive
it towards the entrance ramp. Shoot the guards in front of the ramp before
you get to it, then get out directly in front of the ramp. Run up with your
Uzi and use R1 to target all the guards and press Circle to fire. Do this
quickly because they will be shooting at you. Note: Be careful when using
R1 to aim as you may accidentally target 8-Ball.
Hint: Decoy mission:
On the Decoy mission given by Donald Love, you will have to take an armored
van and evade police capture. This can seem very difficult when you have
six stars and every police car available is after you. When you arrive at
the location of the van in Shoreside Vale, you will notice that there are
SWAT cars and police cars all around the van area. Simply use a Rocket Launcher
to blow up all police vehicles around the area. Then, use the "No wanted
level" code. Use this until all police cars that are just sitting there
have been destroyed. You still will be tracked by police helicopters and
new policemen, but this will make the mission much easier.
Hint: Escort Service mission:
When doing the Escort Service mission for Donald Love, make sure you have
a lot of M-16 ammunition. Instead of stealing a car, jump on the back of
the armored car. It will start to move. Keep watching for the Cartel trucks,
then switch to first person mode. Use the M-16 to take out the trucks before
they attack. Remember to watch your footing on the back of the armored car,
especially around corners.
Hint: Killing Kenji mission:
After talking with Donald Love, steal a Colombian Cartel cruiser. Go to
the parking garage where Kenji is holding his meeting. Enable the "All
weapons" code. Drive the cruiser to the level in the garage directly
underneath where Kenji is located. Use the Bazooka and shoot at the ceiling
of the level you are on many times until everything above is destroyed.
You will need enable the "No wanted level" code often while shooting
the ceiling. Get back in the cruiser and the message "Kenji is fender
meat" will appear. Enable the "No wanted level" code, drive
the cruiser out, and get rid of it.
Hint: Marked Man mission:
When you have to drive Ray from the park to the airport, you will be told
to find another route because the bridge is being covered by cops. Get the
bulletproof Cheetah and drive to the airport through the bridge from Staunton
Island to Shoreside. You will encounter heavy fire from several cops with
AR-15s, but the Cheetah is bulletproof. The Cheetah is fast, so you will
finish the mission in a short amount of time. After driving him to the airport,
you will get his keys to the garage that contains a bulletproof Hummer with
guns and money.
Hint: Purge The Paparazi mission:
Rather than chasing down the boat, simply walk over to the wall next to
A's apartment. When you have a clear view of the photographer's boat, select
the "bazooka" weapon and pump three shots into the boat. If done
correctly, this will result in instant victory without getting your feet
wet.
Hint: Sayonara Salvatore mission:
Instead of ambushing Salvatore's car, go to Luigu's early. Go to the back
door. When time is up, Salvatore's bodyguards will appear. Mow them all
down with your machine gun and finally get Salvatore.
Hint: Silence the Sneak mission:
When you find the apartment and the window is zoomed in, look on the same
wall for a garage door. Find a vehicle (the bigger, the better) and block
the garage with it. Next, throw the grenade into the window. When the sneak
tries to escape, the vehicle will be in his way. Quickly throw a grenade
at the car placed in front of the garage. Both cars and anyone inside should
explode. Throw extra grenades into the garage if needed. You have now completed
the mission with no chasing.
Hint: Skunk In The Trunk mission: Dead body in trunk:
Do the "Skunk In The Trunk" mission for Joe. Before you get into
the car, enable the "All weapons" code and blow up the car that
chase you. Then, bash the trunk until it opens. Get out and look at it.
Hint: Speed Boat mission:
Before you go to see Donald Love (the mission after saving the older oriental
gentleman), pick up a 2 1/2 ton truck in the weapons yard at the northern
most part of Staunton Island. Go to see Love, then after the mission begins,
head for Asuka's. Back the truck slowly into the opening for the docks and
leave it there. Go down the stairs and get in the speedboat. Pick up the
packages -- when you have them all, your wanted level will be at 5. Return
to the dock outside Asuka's. You can land the boat onto the dock. Run up,
get in the truck, and head back up the road. Take the alley on the hill.
This is where the Pay 'N Spray is located. Park the truck so it will block
traffic from behind you -- you cannot paint it. The black cars are loaded
with four FBI agents with assault rifles. You can now do one of two things.
Either get in the mini van and get in the Pay 'N Spray; but if for some
reason you cannot, then run up to the Pay N' Spray and hide in the garage
bay. In a few seconds, the only thing around will be the helicopter. Once
you get near the road again, the FBI comes out in force. Get one or two
cars to follow you into the alley area, then run back up towards the Pay
'N Spray and get out your assault rifle. If done correctly, you should have
at least one FBI car near the ramp. Take out the agents and be careful not
to shoot the car too much. Steal the FBI car and take it to the Pay 'N Spray.
They will paint it since it is unmarked. From here, you can park the car
in your garage. You may want to keep it since it is one of the hardest cars
to get. Steal a car and take the packages back to Love. Note: You must go
in the Pay 'N Spray to get rid of your wanted level.
Hint: Turismo mission: Easy completion:
When doing the first Diablo mission, "Turismo", go to the starting
grid. Start the race and once it begins, jump out of your car. Run into
the bushes to the right. When you get there, enable the "Destroy all
cars" code. The other racers will explode and put you in first place.
Then, just complete all the check points to complete the mission.
You can win the Turismo mission by stealing the other racer's cars..
Hint: Turismo mission: Head start:
On the Turismo mission that you receive from El Burro in the phone call,
use the following trick to get a head start on all the Cheetahs. Instead
of going, throw the Blue Marker and wait for the countdown. Get good enough
speed and go straight through them. This will start the race and give you
a head start. This will only work if you do not go through them cleanly
-- you have to touch at least one.
Hint: Two Faced Tanner mission: Killing Tanner
Take the Yakuza Stinger from Asuka, and find 8-Ball's auto shop on your
map. Take the Stinger to 8-Ball's and rig it. Next, drive to Kenji's casino
and pull in front of Tanner's car (the stationary Esperato). Press Circle,
quickly get out of the Stinger and speed run to the blue circle. If timed
correctly, Tanner will run out, pull open his door, and attempt to enter.
Hint: The Exchange mission: Defeating the Colombian Cartel:
To have an easier fight against the Colombian Cartel in the last mission,
you must collect every hidden package. Once you leave the mansion in Shoreside
Vale you can return to your hideout in Wichita Gardens and have all the
ammunition you need. Then, just use rockets on the Cartel Cruiser barricades
and the Barracks OL trucks. Use a strong car for cover and use the sniper
rifle to pick off any Cartel guards. Then, move to the roof. After all the
guards on the ground are gone, move up the stairs -- but not all the way.
Snipe the two guards covering Maria and the one behind the smoke stack.
Before you start the mission, start from your house in Wichita Gardens,
then turn left onto the street. Turn left again at the intersection on the
corner. Follow the S-curves all the way up to the top. Turn right at the
intersection and go past the Colombian mansion. Turn left at the intersection
to go down the two lane road. Follow this road down about halfway to about
three quarters of the way down. Stop and enable the "Tank" code.
Park the tank on the north side of the street (on the rocky part, off the
road). Then, get back in your car, drive back to the Colombian mansion the
same way that you came. Once you start the mission, get into one of the
Colombian pickup trucks and drive back to your tank the same way you came.
Once you get to your tank, enable the "All weapons" code. Get
into your tank, then drive to the dam. Drive through the first Colombian
barricade and proceed down the path until you reach some trees. Pick up
the gun that is near those trees. Get back into your tank and drive through
the second Colombian barricade. Then back up slightly and snipe the men
on the towers and every other Colombian in view. Get back into your tank
and shoot, run over, or explode everything and everybody coming after you,
until everyone is dead. By that time, if you get out of your tank, you should
hear the helicopter approaching from the south. Take out your rocket launcher
and shoot down the helicopter. Then, take out your sniper rifle and snipe
the two men covering Maria. Then, snipe the man near the smoke stack to
your left. Walk over to Maria to complete the mission. Remember to work
fast, and sometimes rely on your tank to protect you so you do not kill
yourself.
Hint: Easy vigilante missions:
When you get close enough to the criminal's car, pause game play. When the
game is resumed, the criminal will stop his car and get out. Then, just
run him over.
Hint: Easy paramedic missions:
To have the easiest paramedic missions, do them all on Portland Island,
before you do any missions in the game. By doing this, there will be no
enemy gangs out to get you and destroy your vehicle.
Hint: Easy police missions:
A quick way to get all the police bribes for your hideout is to first steal
a police car (or any other law enforcement car). Take it to your hideout,
then enter "Vigilante". Put the car in your garage and get out.
Wait until the door closes, then enable the "Destroy all cars"
code. This will kill the criminal. Enter back into the police car, which
will be fine since it was in the garage. Repeat this as many times as needed.
Since you get money for each criminal you kill, you may also want to do
this when low on cash. This method can also be used with any other mission
that requires you to destroy a car.
Hint: Easy boat missions:
When taking a boat mission that requires you to destroy another boat, do
not try and destroy it yourself. Just enable the "Destroy all cars"
code and the mission completed message will appear.
Hint: Easy rare cars:
Take a Cheetah, Banshee, or Stinger and drive around. More of the kind of
car that you are driving will appear.
Hint: Obtain cars on demand:
To obtain most of the cars on demand, complete the list of cars in both
of the Import/Export Garages. You will then be able to walk in and take
any car on the list you want an unlimited number of times. There are two
Import/Export Garages in the game. The first is located in the docks on
Portland Island. It is a medium-sized warehouse near the large ship and
crane. The second is located on Shoreside Vale, in the warehouse area next
to Cocrane Dam. The warehouse is almost on the road along the cliff facing
the dam and lake below.
Hint: Skip Kenji missions:
To skip the majority of the missions for Kenji, do the first mission for
him then work for Ray. After enough missions for him, you will be able to
work for Donald Love. One of Donald's missions involves killing Kenji. Do
it and you will have skipped three very hard missions.
Hint: Tank:
If you manage to get a tank (by getting the Army after you and having the
soldiers leave the tank), it is possible to save it in your garage. Unfortunately,
a tank will only fit in your Stauton Island hideout due to the size of the
door. Tanks are not indestructible but they can take about 20 to 30 minutes
worth of punishment. Tanks can also flip over, but this is not easy to do.
The tank shoots grenade rounds, of which you have an unlimited amount. You
can also move the tank's turret with the Right Analog-stick. Note: The tank
can also be used in the Vigilante missions.
To get a tank, raise your wanted level to 6. Next, find a way to get it
back to level 0, no matter what. Then, go to Phil's Weapon Shop at the very
tip of Staunton Island. You should be able to enter the tank there.
Hint: Fast tank:
To get the tank to go extremely fast, turn your turret to face directly
back, then fire repeatedly. Watch your shots -- if you hit any cars the
cops will chase you. This is especially useful for the Vigilante missions.
Hint: Flying tank:
Get the tank, then turn the turret backwards and find a long road (such
as the airport at Shoreside Vale or any of the bridges). Start shooting
it as fast as you can to speed up the tank, hold Left Analog-stick Down.
If done correctly, the tank will become airborne allowing you to actually
fly it around. Do not hold Left Analog-stick Down too far or you will crash.
Note: Also enable the "Dodo car" code to increase the flying ability.
Once in the air, balance it out pressing Up and Down. You can also turn,
but usually will stall. Keep firing the turret while in the air. You can
fly into buildings, and do all types of tricks. If you fly long enough you
will encounter game glitches.
Hint: Other flying vehicles:
Select a car, such as the tank, firetruck, cop car, or sentinel. Find an
open road, such as the airport. Go as fast as you can while holding Down.
Do this for briefly then quickly hold Up. If done correctly, your car should
fly high for awhile.
Hint: Tank storage:
The game seems to remember the location of tanks, no matter where they are.
Enable the "Tank" code, then park the it near your safe house.
Save your game, and when you load it again the tank will be where you saved
it. Note: It is not necessary to ever park it in the garage.
Hint: Hitch a ride:
If you are close to a cop and do not want to steel a car, but you also do
not want to walk, jump on top of a car and let them take you away.
Hint: Drive-by shooting:
Get the Uzi and enter any car. Press R2 + Circle or L2 + Circle and your
character will shoot the Uzi out either side of the car.
Get in any car and keep pressing Select until you cannot see anything but
the road and nothing of your car. Then, enable the "All weapons"
code or get a Uzi. Next, hold L2 or R2 to see your man putting his gun out
the window from inside the car. This makes drive by shootings more fun,
but you cannot see anything ahead of you while driving.
Hint: Hitchhiking shooting:
Enable the "Increased gore", "Crazy pedestrians" , and
"Pedestrians riot" codes. Run into the street and hop onto the
nearest car (Bobcats seem to work best). Position yourself on theroof or
the bed if on the Bobcat. Pick your favorite gun and enjoy the chaotic ride.
This tends to be short-lived but very fun when you see your character shooting
from the roof of a moving car. Snipers can really test their skills with
this. Using the M-16 gives you the feel of a first-person gun game. If the
car stops at a light or is too slow for your tastes, give it one shot (on
the hood or elsewhere).
Hint: Make pedestrians jump to their death:
Get a car and drive it to an area where there is water close to a road.
Next, drive your car to the edge while there are people around. Get out
and push your car into the water. Wait until it explodes. All the people
around will run into the water, trying to see the explosion and consequently
drown themselves. They will float down there for awhile.
Hint: Kill a lot of pedestrians:
Kill a pedestrian with a gun. Then, wait until everyone nearby approaches
to see the dead person. Enable the "All weapons" code and select
the rocket launcher. Get far back and blast everyone standing around the
first dead person.
Hint: Scared pedestrians:
Shoot cars with an M16 until they catch on fire. The person driving will
accelerate and try to stop. Watch the car explode. The car might stop and
the driver will get out and hit another car while the other car speeds up
(before stopping and exploding).
Hint: Singing paramedics:
Kill a lot of people and the ambulance should appears. If you get stars,
enable the the "No wanted level" code. The paramedics will jump
out of the ambulance to heal the injured people. While they are healing
the people, they will sing parts of songs from the radio.
Hint: Faster shooting shotgun:
Hold Circle to fire the shotgun (or any other lock-on weapon) and press
R1 repeatedly to fire it rapidly at your target. This method usually targets
many targets around you, resulting in killing everything that is in range.
When using the shotgun, try pressing R1 each time your character is about
to pump the shotgun to prevent him from jittering, thus making it fire as
fast as the handgun.
Hint: Stealing police cars:
To easily steal police cars, press Triangle at the drivers side door. Then,
as the policeman gets out, go to the passenger side and hop in.
Hint: Use exploding cars:
If your car is on fire, get out. It is about to explode, but this is also
a good thing. if you need a big bomb and you do not have the money for Eightball,
smash your car into things and use it as a bomb on wheels when it starts
to burn.
Hint: Fire hose:
To use the fire hose, press Circle and water will spray out. You can also
knock people over with the water.
Hint: 100 armor:
In some police stations are Enforcers (police trucks). If you go in them,
you will get 100 armor.
Hijack the Line Runner (semi-truck), then exit. You will have 100 armor.
Hint: Free repairs:
Park your car(s) in the garage at the save point. Exit, then go in to save.
You can either save your game or cancel. Either way, your car(s) will be
repaired.
While in Portland and Staunton Island, if your car is on the brink of fire,
or you want it to be as new as the day you stole it, drive to your hideout.
Pull your car into the garage and get out. Leave the garage so that the
door can close, then run back in and take out your newly repaired car. You
do not have to save the game for the car to repair. This trick will not
work in Shoreside Vale -- you will have to save the game for an easy repair.
When car is on fire and you want to save it, get to your hideout before
it explodes and save the game. When you select "OK" and leave
your door/elevator, your car will stop burning. Get it to a Pay N' Spray
or put it in your garage. Be careful -- one hit and your car may burn again.
Drive a car into your garage with the trunk still sticking out. Take the
rocket launcher and shoot the back end of the car. It should explode, get
knocked inside, and the door will close. When you open it up, your car will
be as good as new.
Hint: Free paint jobs:
Go to pay and spray once. Pay the $1,000 for the new engine and paint job.
Then, immediately drive back in an get a new paint job, free of charge.
This can be done as many times as needed until you get the desired paint
job.
Hint: Getting guns:
Go by Toni's place to find an alleyway where an Uzi is located. Go near
the mob car on the ledge in the other nearby alley -- you can go between
two buildings and find an AK47-like rifle and some armor.
Go to Chinatown and look for a Triad member (men with blue uniforms). Run
them down with a car until a gun appears (sometimes it is a bat). Alternately,
you can get out of your car and hit them with a bat, but you might be spotted
by another Triad member and get shot.
Hint: Hidden packages:
When you see the Rockstar billboard, there are usually some items nearby.
On the three islands, hidden packages are usually found near the billboards.
For every ten hidden packages you find, you gain access to a new weapon
located at your hideout, free of charge.
Information in this section was contributed by silentbob.
There is a hidden package on the split bridge. You have to get on the middle
to get it, and be on the bridge as it goes up. Note: You must get the package
quickly before the bridge goes back down.
If see an alley, a cut-through, a big vacant area, or anyplace where you would never normally go, drive around. There may be a package located there, or at least a gun or health.
Hint: Get on top of subway:
Go to the subway in any town. Go to the edge of the platform where it slopes
down. Take a step forward and fall right between the actual subway rail
and the edge of the platform (the yellow part). Wait for the train and when
it arrives, press Triangle to get in. Before the subway leaves, press Triangle
again to get back out. If done correctly, you should now be on top of the
subway. Note: The graphics will glitch. If you fall back off the edge, you
will land back on the platform unless you go further down the tracks.
Hint: Matrix-type fights:
When you are "on drugs" (when the small pill icon appears), get
into a fist fight or have a shoot out with someone. The fight will have
a Matrix-type effect.
Hint: Regain health:
Car jack any vehicle and drive up to a prostitute walking the streets. Stop
and let her approach the car, after a few seconds of talking, she will get
in. Drive to a remote area where there are not any cops around (a good place
is in your hideout). Stop the car, but do not get out. After about two seconds,
the car will start rocking back and forth. You will recover approximately
40 to 50 points of health. When it is over, she will exit the car and walk
away, but not before she charges you a fee. At this point you can beat her
up and take back the money you just paid her. Note: The prostitute will
fight back when you try to take your money back. If for any reason you both
have to exit the car before it starts rocking, you will still be charged
a fee (beat her up to take it back). You cannot do this with the same prostitute
twice in one night -- you can however, pick up another prostitute and recover
more health. Even though the maximum amount of health points is 100 when
you start the game, it increases to 125 after the encounter and remains
that way.
When you pick up a prostitute and as soon as the car stops shaking, before
the girl gets out, step on the gas slightly. She will not get out because
the car is moving. If you stop right after, the car will start rocking again.
This is a good way to save time when you are trying to get health back.
Hint: Attracting prostitutes:
Go to the red light area in the Portland Industrial District and drive very
slowly next to a prostitute. They will walk up to your car, bend over, and
eventually go in.
The easiest pick up a prostitute is to drive a fine car. While taxis and
cop cars do not attract them easily, cars such as Diablos and others will
attract them more often.
Hint: Pick up two prostitutes at once:
Get a four door car such as a Landstalker or a Limo. Find two prostitutes
that are together on the street and then have them enter the car. You will
not get extra health.
Hint: Pickpockets:
There are two kinds of pickpockets in the game. One looks like a Nines gang
member, but wears darker clothes. The second type has a black shirt and
blue and white pants. When you see them pickpocket, aim at them with a gun
and they will drop the money.
Hint: Airport boats:
Around the airport runway is a ramp that goes to the water. Once there,
you will find a police boat or a speeder on the other side of the water.
You can also drive the boat up to the dam and the other side of Staunton
Island.
Hint: Auto star:
Enable the "Change outfit" code and become a law officer. Punch
someone or steal a car to get a star.
Hint: Cops shot in one star:
Jump on a car when a cop is chasing you on foot. The cop will shoot you.
Hint: Newspapers:
Take a look at the newspapers that float around on the streets. There are
two different types. One has the same page of articles as the page in the
instruction manual, with circles around some of them. The other newspaper
has a picture of Elvis with glowing eyes with the words "Elvis Zombie
Found with s".
Hint: Attacking landstalkers:
Ram and shoot the red landstalkers on the second island. A group of them
will start to attack you, as if they are another type of gang. This seems
to work best around the construction site.
Hint: Run farther:
The main character's running distance depends on how much you exercise him.
The more he runs, the farther he will be able to go without stopping.
.
Hint: Using sirens:
Steal ether a police, ambulance, or fire truck (easier to steal). Turn on
the sirens and all cars on the road will pull over and get out of your way.
This will not bring your wanted level up. Try staying in the center of the
road -- if you go to the side of the intersection, cars will either hit
you or cause a road block. Note: If it does not work the first time, keep
pressing L3.
Hint: Car alarms:
If enter a car and the alarm goes on, just get out of the car and wait for
it to stop. After the car alarm stops, simply get back in the vehicle and
you can drive away free of noise and suspicion from the cops.
Hint: Avoid police chases:
After stealing police cars, you are relentlessly pursued by the police until
you are captured or injured. In order to get around this, steal the police
car (try smashing them until they get out to arrest you, and then jump in
their car). Take the stolen police car to your garage (the condition does
not matter), and save the game. When you return with the stolen police car
later (from your garage), it will be viewed as a normal car by the police,
but will still be able to do the Vigilante mission.
First, find badges. The best places to look are in the alleys and parking
lots. If being chased in a car, and you are not about to explode, just keep
running, and try to not kill anyone. Sometimes, if you drive around enough
in harsh conditions, the cops will just stop chasing you. This only happens
if you have one or two stars though. If you have around four or more stars,
quickly find some badges. The cops are reckless around then, and will do
anything to get you busted, or most likely killed, even if it means accidentally
killing a few witnesses.
Get back to your hideout, save then game, then reload. The cops will be
gone. This works no matter how high your wanted level has become.
Hint: Be a passenger:
When you are near a police car, press Triangle and try to get in. As the
cop gets out to arrest you, get in through the other door and then enable
the "No wanted level" code. If done quickly enough, the cop will
stop chasing you and get in the drivers seat while you are still in the
passenger seat.
Hint: More cars in garage:
When you are at your hideout, you are able to park any vehicle for later
use. In Staunton Island, you are allowed two cars in the garage, but the
following trick will let you park as many as many as you can fit. After
you drive up to the garage door and the game states that you cannot park
any more cars, get out and walk up to the door. The garage will open. As
soon as it does, immediately get back into your car and drive it in as it
closes again. You have to do this quickly, but once it is in the game will
save the car. Also, try stacking cars on top of one another which will increase
garage space.
When you drive up to the garage and the message "No more cars can
be stored in this garage" appears, get out of your car. Walk up to
the garage and the door will open. Get in one of the cars you have inside
and back up half in and half out of the garage. The game will think you
are trying to drive your car in, so it will not close. Then, get out of
that car and get in the one you want to put inside. Drive the car in the
garage, get out and drive the other one (half in and half out) back inside.
Hint: Shoot the moon:
Use the sniper rifle at night, zoom in on the moon, then shoot it. It will
get bigger or smaller.
.
Hint: Chatterbox question:
During the game Maria calls in to Chatterbox, and asks if you are gay.
Hint: Web sites:
The web sites mentioned on the radio stations during the game actually exist.
Glitch: Jail clothes:
Start the game and wait for your first mission. You will be dressed in a
"jail" type of clothing. From there, load a saved game. Once you
start your saved game, you will still be dressed in the jail clothes. Note:
If you happen to save the game, the "Different costume" cheat
is will always be disabled.
Glitch: Interior car view:
Get any car that will fit in the subway tunnels. Take it down into the subway
from Chinatown going towards Staunton Island. Enable the "Better driving
skills" code. When you pass into Staunton Island (and the welcome screen
appears ) press L3 to begin jumping. If done correctly, you will get stuck
in the top, allowing you to see through the roof and view the driver turning
the wheels and changing the gears.
Glitch: Unlimited time on taxi missions:
Do a taxi mission and make sure the timer is on. Before you get your next
fare, try to run down the timer and before it hits zero attract your next
fare by stopping in front or around him/her. The counter should disappear,
but the passenger should still enter the car and tell you where they want
to go. You can keep using the same taxi with unlimited time for each passenger.
Turning off the taxi mission or getting out of the car will result in the
return of the timer in game.
Glitch: Car alarm:
After getting into a car that has an alarm system, get back out after it
goes off. Throw a grenade or shoot a rocket at the car. The car will explode,
but the alarm will keep sounding.
Glitch: Bulletproof, fireproof, explosion proof Cheetah:
Get a Tank. Go to your hideout and take out anything that is in your garage.
Then go to the El Burro phone and accept the Turismo mission. Drive the
Tank to the purple marker, making sure not to blow any cars up on the line.
Whenever the race starts, turn your tank around and high-tail it back to
your hideout. Park it right by the entrance and wait there. After awhile,
around "Race Time:170", the cars will turn the corner. Run into
one, causing it to explode. Then, push it into your garage. After it gets
repaired, it will be bullet-proof, explosion proof, and fire proof. The
only thing that destroys it is collisions.
Glitch: Instruction manual:
The bottom right of page 14 of the manual (with the map) displays the gang
logos. The Heart logo (Diablos) is identified instead as "Columbian
Cartel". The logos are correct again on the next page, where the logos
are bigger.
