by. Once it does, fly into the air and land on top of it. Then, Triangle
to take off your Jetpack. Enable any "Weapons" code and start
killing pedestrians. Once the cops start chasing you, you will notice that
when they try to ram you, the trolley will not get damaged, and is actually
invincible. You will be able to drive through the town and use it like a
giant shooting gallery. There is no need to worry if the military starts
chasing you. The trolley car can ram right through the tanks, sometimes
flipping them over. If your health gets low (you can still be shot by
pedestrian cops), enable the "Health, armor, and money" code. This
trick allows you to live a surprisingly long time while being hunted down by
the feds. To enhance your experience, you can also enable the

when the police cars hit you, they should explode. Once you are done
exploring, drive back into the water or swim back. The area you just
explored should be on your map. Note: You cannot buy any property while
invading the city. This trick can also be done to explore San Fierro early
from Los Santos.
San
Fierro: Fall off building and live: Go to the Big Pointy Building (the one with a parachute) in the
Downtown area and jump off. Open your parachute and land. Go back up to the
top. This time, you will not get a parachute. Jump off. Before you hit the
ground, you will hit the side of the building and slide down. When you are
close to the ground, you should hit one of the many slanted poles that hold
up the building. This will slow you down enough so that you only lose about
one sixth of your health. Note: Sometimes you will not hit a slanted pole
and lose more health or die.

the top of the mountain (by the two vehicles). You can fly the Dodo up
there, take off, and jump out of the plane whenever you desire. Just press Circle
and the parachute will open. By the time you get back to the mountain,
another parachute will have respawned. Note: Sometimes when you jump out of
the plane, it will not explode, even from that altitude.

There should be cars, a bike, and a parachute. Get on the bike and it should
start a mission. Instead of doing the mission, go forward and you should see
a flag with a ramp next to it. Get on the bike, go very fast, and jump off
the ramp. Once you are going down, the screen should blur. Do not jump off
the bike; just keep going then you should respawn back on the mountain. You
will get an insane jump bonus for about $300. Repeat this to get as much
money as desired.
Whetstone:
Maximum cycling skill: Go to the top of Mt. Chiliad. Get the mountain bike and enter the

Hydra with the car enough to get the front tire off of the ground. Get out
of the car and get in the Hydra. You will shoot into the air vertically
without having to touch any buttons. With the "Cars float away"
code enabled, you will continue to rise past the game's ceiling. After about
five minutes of rising, bail out. Immediately pull and release your
parachute so that you are free falling again. While falling, spawn a
Jetpack. Note: It will not appear until you hit the ground. Enable the
"Armor" code. While falling repeatedly spawn Hydras as fast as
possible until the ground comes into view. Hit the ground with full health
and armor and you will survive with almost no health. When you get up. the
Jetpack will spawn. Immediately fly away from where you landed and look up
in the air where you fell from. A tower of Hydras will soon fall to earth,
one after another like a bomb run.
Infernus: Go to Las Ventura and look on The Strip.
JetMax: Complete boat school with all gold awards.
Jetpack: Complete the Aircraft Boneyard asset and the Jetpack will be
available near the entrance to the save area.

abandoned airstrip AC tower (the building where you save).
To still in mid air in the
Jetpack, hold R2 + L2. Note: You will know if you are not
moving if the exhaust pipes are circling.
When wearing the Jetpack, press
X to accelerate. You can strafe with R2 or L2. Note:
You cannot save, enter or exit buildings, or shoot with the Jetpack. To take
it off, press Triangle. To put it back on, just walk or run at it.
It is possible for both
characters to have Jetpacks in two player mode. Use the "Spawn
Jetpack" code, then press Triangle to leave it. Have player two
pick it up, then repeat the code to get a Jetpack for CJ.
Launch: At the Easter Bay naval station go to the big unit which looks
like a port on the third row of water. There is a blue boat which resembles
a Coast Guard

entrance and find a Leviathan.
After you finish the Up, Up,
and Away mission for Woozie where you have to get a special Leviathan, a
normal Leviathan will spawn at your airport.
Leviathan:
Land on water: Go to Easter Bay Airport or the abandoned airfield. Take a
Levithan (the large gray helicopter) to any body of water in the area and
press Square. You will begin to descend. Continue until you are on
the surface of the water and press Triangle. Your helicopter will
have landed on the surface of the water and you can swim around. Note: Do
not let the helicopter go out of your vision range or it will disappear and
spawn back to the airport.
Leviathan:
Magnetic lifter: When you complete a certain mission later in the game, you must
use a Leviathan helicopter to lift something with its magnet. After you
complete the mission, it will spawn at your airstrip (Verdant Meadows), but
it will no longer have the magnetic lifter. To get one with a magnetic
lifter, do the mission again where you steal the one with it. Take it back
to your garage at the airstrip.
Majestic: You can find a Majestic (two door Balla car) in the parking lot
under the Mulholland Intersection in Los Santos. The Majestic should be the
easternmost parked car in the lot.
Marquis: Complete boat school with at least all bronze awards.
Maverick: Go to Easter Bay International Airport at San Fierro. Go to the
security booth and jump on top of it. Get any kind of vehicle and take it
all of the way in the back in the northwest corner. After you are there, go
all the way south. You will not make it all of the way because you will see
a red Maverick that is unlocked. Also, if you go to the most northwestern
city, where the boating school is located, there is a helipad with one on
it. The building it is next to is blue.
This standard helicopter spawns
on the helipad at the police station in San Fierro. Also, look at the
airports. You can also get it by entering the races at Las Venturas Airport,
then using the "Keep aircraft from races" trick.
Go to the hospital in the Santa
Rosa area of San Fierro. Fly up to the roof and there will be a Maverick.
Monster
Truck: Finish in first place in the 8-Track. Do not give up, and keep
trying again until you get it right, or they do not spin you out. It is
useful to never use the brake or the handbrake -- just know when you need to
let off the gas and when you can floor it.
When you drive the Monster
Truck, press R1 to make all four wheels move (quadra-steer), just
like a real monster truck.
Go to Flint Intersection. There
is an area that looks like a small impound yard with an entrance that you
can just walk through. Inside is a Monster Truck that you can just drive
away in.
Go to the Santa Marina Beach
area at the bottom of Los Santos. Go to the lighthouse and stand on the
right side of it. Jump over the fence and swim west to the first road you
reach. You should be in the Los Santos Inlet area if you look on the map.
Once you get there, get a car and drive north up the road until you get to
Flint County. From there, you should see a trailer park with a wall around
it on the left side of the road. The Monster Truck is located in that
trailer park, along with a motorcycle and a truck. It is in the back of the
trailer park near a trailer. Note: The road it is next to looks like a
pretzel (freeway). If the Monster Truck is not there, then drive away and
come back. It should now have respawned.
Collect 5 vehicles for the
Import/Export dock.
News
Chopper: You can get this helicopter from San News by entering the races
at the Las Venturas Airport. Take the second race, then use the "Keep
aircraft from races" trick.
Nevada: Go to the Easter Bay Airport. Go to a wall where a utility truck
and sometimes a baggage handler is located. A Nevada is a cargo plane. Note:
You must first complete pilot school.
Note: This big plane also
spawns at every airport.
NRG-500: Complete bike school with all gold awards.
To get the NRG-500 superbike,
go to the docks at the Easter Basin area in San Fierro. Go to the yellow
crane near the ship (you will have a mission here). On the other side of the
yellow crane is a ship dock that is not filled with any water, and has a
hanger-type shelter covering it. Inside the shelter near the far wall is an
NRG 500. When you get on it, a mission will start. Just ignore the icons,
and after a few seconds the mission will fail but you can keep driving the
NRG-500. You can return here after some time to get more NRG-500s because
they continue respawning.
In Los Santos, go into the
yellow territory on the right side of the map. There is a L shape building,
and inside is a parking garage. There is an NRG-500 on the second and top
floors. The one on the second floor has two tail pipes, and the one on the
top has one. Also, there is a Uzi at the top floor.
Packer: Go to the Ocean Docks in Los Santos and look around. The Packer
looks like a truck with a ramp on the back. Get any car and park it on the
back. If you run out of room, use the Right-Analog stick and pull
back. The ramp on which all of the cars you just positioned will rise, and
you can park more cars. Note: If you load cars on the end too far on the
edge, they will fall off. Then, you can put it on the bottom.
Patriot: Go to the abandoned air strip near Las Venturas. Go to a desert
area, and there will be a military base somewhere south of your location.
Enable the "Spawn Rhino tank" code and break through the cage on
the southeast side of the base. Keep driving around until you see a Patriot.
Enable the "Lower wanted level" code after you have taken it. If
you have reached the part in San Fierro with the wish list, if you export it
to the Easter Basin Docks. They will pay you a lot for it.
Enable the "Six star
wanted level" code. Tanks, flatbeds, and Patriots will appear to chase
you. If you want to live, get a tank. When you see a Patriot arrive, enable
the "Lower wanted level" code. They will slow down. Get out of
your vehicle and steal a Patriot.
Phoenix: In San Fierro, go across the street where CJ's garage is located.
There is also a checkered flag on the map that shows where you can race.
Enter the race called San Fierro Hills. In that race, you will race in a
Phoenix. Just park it in a garage to keep it.
Police
Car: Being fixed: In San Fierro, go to the police station under the bridge. Enter
at the car park and walk down the drive. On your right will be a police
officer that will shoot at you. Kill him and enter the door next to the
locked roller door. Go down the slanted drive (to the right) and knock off
the police that shoot at you at the same time. By now you will have a three
or four star wanted level. Run and as you turn the corner, there will be
some parked cars. Go past the cement pillar to find a police car with its
hood up. The hood will not fall down or fall.
Police
Maverick: This helicopter spawns on the roof of the police station in the
Pershing Square area of Los Santos after the game has been completed.
When you get a Police Maverick,
press R3 to turn on its searchlight.
Quadbike: Look at the sides of the houses at the Blueberry Acres area in
Red County. The Quadbike will be at the side of a building.
Go to the town nearest the
northeast of the airport in the desert. The ATV is at backyard of the
closest house towards the bridge in the southeast corner of the town.
Go to the hilltop farm in the
Red County area of Los Santos. There are two barns with lofts on them. On
the barn to the right, if you jump at the correct moment, you can climb up
and get a Quadbike. They respawn there every hour.
Go to Hilltop Farm near Red
County. In the second barn coming in, jump to the second floor. A Quadbike
should be there. You can also find a Freeway motorcycle beside the
farmhouse.
Quadbike:
Flipping it without falling off: Spawn a Quadbike, then go to a straight and long road. When you
are going fast, quickly use the brakes. Note: Sometimes you will not make
it.
Raindance: Go to Easter Bay Airport at San Fierro. Go to its parking garage.
Find a sign that reads "Keep Clear" and follow it to reach a pilot
entrance. The Raindance resembles a Coast Guard helicopter.
Go to the hospital in the Santa
Rosa area at San Fierro. Fly up to the roof and there will be a Raindance.
There is also a Raindance on
the Santa Monica beach where the Triathlon is located. It is on the west
side of the two piers.
Ranger: You can find a Ranger (police SUV) at the garage at the police
station in Dillimore.
Ranger:
No Seal: Drive around the countryside with no wanted level. Drive around
until you see a Ranger (police SUV) going after another vehicle. Follow the
police chase and go to the right of the Ranger. Notice that the right side
door of the Ranger usually does not have the San Andreas Police Department
seal.
Remington: In Los Santos, go to Unity Station where the lowrider
competitions are held. At certain times, to the left will be a Remington.
Remington:
Eyes: While in San Fierro, steal a Remington. While in the car, turn on
your tail lights. In certain lighting you will notice two eyes staring at
you (eye brows, eye lashes, and eyes).
Rhino: The Rhino Tank has twelve wheel drive. In a way it is like the
Monster Truck -- you can hold R1 and it will drive easier in turns.
Go to Area 69 and look in the
garages to find Rhino tanks.
Get six stars on your wanted
meter and Rhinos will appear.
Get an aircraft of any kind and
fly into Area 69 (Restricted Area). Your aircraft will catch on fire quickly
because of high security shooting you down. Try to land as quickly as
possible and bail from the aircraft as close to the ground as possible by
pressing Triangle. When on foot, run to a garage with a Rhino. Drive
the Rhino to Fort Carson, which is just across the highway where you have a
Safe House with a garage. Park the Rhino in the garage and save the game.
Rhino:
Faster: When you get a Rhino tank, look back until the gun is completely
facing the rear. Then drive and fire. You will gain speed quickly.
Romero's
Hearse: Go to the hospital in Angel Pine and stand outside of the
hospital facing the street. Turn left and go into the other building. You
will find a Romero's Hearse, ready to drive.
Rustler: Complete pilot school with at least all bronze awards. The
Rustler is airplane based on the P-51 Mustang. Press L1 to fire the
wing machine guns.
The Rustler can be found on
several locations. If you finish the pilot school at your airstrip, it will
spawn in the first hanger. It also spawns at the airport in Los Santos and
San Fierro; look in the hangers there. You can get also it by entering the
races at the Las Venturas Airport. Select the race with the Rustler, then
ignore the race and instead take it back to your airstrip and park it in
your own big hangar. You will fail the mission, but can re-do it. Once you
get back to your airstrip and look in your hanger, your Rustler will be
there. Save the game to keep it. This trick can also be used for other
aircraft.
Sabre:
Bulletproof: Buy the house in Dillimore and make sure that the garage is
empty. In the mission Tanker Commander mission that you get from Catalina,
there is a completely armored Sabre available. Instead of getting in the
truck, go turn around and go around the side of the gas station. The Sabre
that is used to try to disconnect the trailer is sitting there, locked. You
can either push it by running into it or push it with the truck. Push it
down the street you are on to your garage and kill Catalina. Then, push it
into your garage and let it close. When you go back to it, you will find
that it is fireproof, bulletproof, and dent-proof.
Sand
King: Go to near the big satellite dish out in the desert near the
abandoned airstrip. Note: This vehicle sometimes has hydraulic springs.
Savanna:
Bulletproof After completing the High Stakes, Low Rider mission, Cesar and
his Savanna will remain at the finish line, but the doors will be locked.
Use another vehicle to push the car to your garage. The doors will now be
unlocked and the car remains bulletproof.
Sea
Sparrow: Go to the bottom of the Sherman Dam where the water is lower. It
is on your left if you are facing towards the dam, at the end of the short
pier-looking structure. You will see both a Sea Sparrow and Skimmer. If you
press R1, the guns shoot from the Sea Sparrow.
The Sea Sparrow also can be
found parked on the helipad near the Boat School.
Shamal: Go to any airport except the Abandoned Airstrip to find the
Shamel business jet.
Skimmer: Go to the Arco Del Deste area then go north. Look for a forked
road that points to the water. Go out a little, and you will see the Skimmer
plane, which is a Dodo with pontoons.
Go to the bottom of the Sherman
Dam where the water is lower. It is on your left if you are facing towards
the dam, at the end of the short pier-looking structure. You will see both a
Sea Sparrow and Skimmer. Note: The Skimmer is the only airplane that can
allow two players to occupy it.
Sparrow: This helicopter spawns on the roof of Madd Dogg's Crib.
Squallo: Complete boat school with at least all silver awards.
Stunt
Plane: Complete pilot school with at least all silver awards. The stunt
plane is based on a World War I fighter. Press R3 while flying to let
out a red smoke trail from the back of the tail.
You can also get the Stunt
Plane by entering the races in Las Venturas airport, then using the
"Keep aircraft from races" trick.
Stunt
Plane: Controls:
Backflip: Get the altimeter
to at least half and pull the Left Analog-stick Back, then it
should go back to normal.
Barrel Roll: Get at least 100
feet in the air, then pull Left or Right, then stop to get
it back to normal.
Stunt Smoke: Press R3
and smoke will come out. Press it again to stop it. Go to cinematic view
and you can write letters with practice.
Super
GT: Complete driving school with at least all bronze awards.
In San Fierro, go to the Easter
Bay Airport. There will be a small building next to the entrance near the
helipad area. Below that building, you may find an orange Super GT. It does
not usually appear as soon as CJ goes there, but should spawn after awhile.
It may take some time for it to spawn. It will be locked, but you can open
it by towing it to your garage with a tow truck.
Tahoma:
Bulletproof: In the House Party mission, your hood gets attacked by the
Ballas. They will arrive in two Tahoma. Complete the mission without getting
too far away from the cars. Then, push either or both Tahomas into the
garage of the Johnson house.
Tampa: Go to the Jefferson Motel in the Jefferson area of Los Santos. Go
west to the split in the road then go on the road to the left. Immediately
afterwards you can see a lot on the left decorated with triangular banners
and surrounded with a fence. This is the Coutt and Shutz dealership. A Tampa
will be in the lot, along with a Clover and Perennial. If none of those cars
are there, drive around and the cars will spawn there.
Tow
Truck: Enter the dump at Mount Chilliad to find a Tow Truck. You can
steal cars with it by using the Right Analog-stick to lower the
hitch, then back up to a car. Raise the car with the Right Analog-stick
and drive away. This can be done while the driver and passenger of the other
car are still inside.
Tractor: As done with the Tow Truck, you can also tow cars with a tractor.
Steal one from a farmer, back into another car, then press the Right
Analog-stickBack to lift the winch.
Train:
Derailment: Look at your map and locate the nearest train station. Mark it
and go to the train station. Wait for a train to stop in front of you. When
it stops, go to the front of it and press Triangle to hijack it. Once
inside, hold X to go forward. Once you start going fast enough, your
controller will start to vibrate. Keep holding X and eventually you
will derail in slow motion, and either flip over or glide to a screeching
halt.
Turismo: In the Breaking the Bank at Caligula's mission, after you have
the parachute intentionally miss the helipad and instead aim for the ground.
On the ground, almost everyone will be driving a Turismo (the fastest car in
the game). Steal one and go to the airstrip. Park the Turismo in the garage
and finish the mission.
Collect 20 vehicles for the
Import/Export dock.
Vortex: Look in one of the buildings at the Panopticon area in Red
County. On your map, it will show a brown square with a group of white dots
in it. The white dot that is farthest north on the map is the building with
the Vortex in it. Hop inside and take it for a land and water ride.
Collect 25 vehicles for the
Import/Export dock.
Vortex:
Jetpack powered: Jump into any body of water and enable the "Spawn
Jetpack" code. Then, enable the "Spawn Vortex" code. Get into
the Votex and it will be jet powered. Note: Once you leave the Vortex this
effect will end.
Vortex:
Flying: Go to the top of Mount Chilliad, where there is a Camper and
Journey. It is an open area. Enable the "Spawn Vortex" code, then
just drive off and hold X. You cannot move up or down, but can steer
it.
Note: This trick does not
always work. Go to the tall building in Los Santos that has the parachute on
top. Go to the top of that building and enable the "Spawn Vortex"
code. Drive it off the top and pull back. It will glide down smoothly to the
ground.
Windsor: Collect 10 vehicles for the Import/Export dock.
Stealing
locked cars: Some cars have locked doors so you cannot steal them (such as cop
cars and your first girlfriend's Hustler). However, getting them into a
garage will unlock the doors. You can either push a car into the garage or
get a Tow Truck or a Tractor to tow them.
To get in a locked vehicle with
someone inside (for example, a Combine Harvester), driving shoot the person
in the head and the door will fling open, allowing you drive it away.
Find a Tow Truck (for example,
at the dump in Mount Chillad) and drive to where the locked car is located.
Hook the locked car onto the Tow Truck and tow it into your garage. Let the
garage close. When you open the garage again, the locked car should be
unlocked. This is easier then pushing it into your garage.
If you try to open a car and it
is locked, go far from it, then return. The color of the car will be
different and the doors will be unlocked.
If someone has locked their car
door, and you shoot them out, be careful not to get out before you reach
your garage. Otherwise, the door will stay locked.
Get a spade (there is one found
behind Ryder's house). Find a locked vehicle and smash the door off.
Finding
your car after getting busted: If you been arrested, go down to the police parking lot. Walk
around without a weapon. Eventually, you will find your car.
Faster
motorcycle: On any type of motorcycle, slightly move the Left Analog-stickForward to where CJ's head is directly level with the handlebars.
This will make your motorcycle move about 15 to 20 mph faster than its usual
top speed.
Better
handling motorcycle: To get better handling on street bikes, get on one and enable the
"Spawn Jetpack" code. You will be able to make turns at full speed
without crashing. Note: The Jetpack will disappear when you get off the
bike.
Longer
stoppie time bonus: Take a BMX and gain some speed. Immediately hold Square
followed by Left Analog-stick Forward. Keep them held. If done
correctly, the bicycle will be balanced on front wheel. You can also release
Square and Left Analog-stick and the bicycle will remain in
that position. You can use this trick to take the stoppie bonus for the
maximum time as desired. Note that distance covered in this trick will be
less.
Recommended
hydraulic cars: The Landstalker and Tahoma are by far one of the highest bouncing
vehicles on the game (with lots of practice). If you cannot find one of tem
on the streets with hydraulics, take one to the Loco shop.
Quick
nitrous refill: Leave your car then immediately re-enter it. Your nitrous will be
back at full.
License
plates: Some people that have their own cars have special things on their
license plates.
Ryder: Sherm.
Sweet: Grove4L (Grove for life)
Fly
plane without pilot license: Go to either Las Vatos or Los Santos airport. Go to the place
that you would enter if you had a pilot license. If you try to get in the
gate, it will say you cannot unless you have the license. Next to the gate
is a small building. You will need a small car or any type of bike (BMX,
bike, motorcycles, etc.). Stand on top of it and jump on top of the
building. Jump off and you should see a fence (at Los Santos Airport). Climb
the fence and you will see a Dodo plane. Also, if you follow the runway
east, you will see a small jet that is unlocked. At Las Vatos, follow the
same procedure. After you jump off of the building, just walk around and
look for a plane. Note: All but one of the aircraft at San Fereno's airport
are locked.
After using the "Fly plane
without pilot license" trick at the Los Santos airport, go forward you
should see a Dodo airplane. Get in and take a right when inside the plane.
Go straight, then take a right at the runway. Go down it until you see a jet
on the right. It is not on the runway. You can get out of the Dodo and get
in the jet. You can now fly the jet wherever desired. However, be careful --
if you go out of your territory you will get four stars and jets will shoot
missiles at you. Try to dodge them if possible.
Keep
aircraft from races: Enter the races at the Las Venturas Airport. Select the race with
the airplane you desire, then ignore the race and instead take it back to
your airstrip and park it in your own big hangar. You will fail the mission,
but can re-do it. Once you get back to your airstrip and look in your
hanger, your airplane will be there. Save the game to keep it.
Amphibious
car: Enable the "Flying car" and "Maximum lung
capacity" codes. Get a car and go in water. Press R1 to turn the
vehicle.
Road
train: Use the following trick to make a massive train of tow trucks and
one lonely rig. Get a tow truck from anywhere. Next, find a tanker or any
other rig. Hook it up to the back of the tow truck. For the longest train,
find a trailer for the tanker. Drop the tanker off the tow truck and hook up
the trailer. Then, hook the tanker back on the tow truck. Now that you have
the back all set up, drive around looking for more tow trucks that you can
use. You can hook up as many as desired to make a never ending train.

Miscellaneous
Two
player mode: Successfully complete the Burning Desire mission where you
rescue Denise. A red two player free roam icon will now appear on Denise's
porch near the door. The icon will appear there when she is home and will
go on a date. Stand on the icon and press Start on controller two
to activate the icon. Note: If both enter a car, the passenger will have
free aim with a machine gun.
Note: Do not try to kill
Denise, as you will never be able to date her again or play in two-player
mode at her house.
Once you get your girlfriend,
take her on a date. After you drop her off, there will be a rotating icon
of two people directly in front of the door. Walk into it. It will tell
you to push any button on the controller two. Do so to start two player
mode, involving CJ and his girlfriend in a free roam.
For more fun in two player
mode, start the two player mission. Then, enable the "Spawn
Jetpack" code and press Triangle to remove the Jetpack. Then,
have player two get the Jetpack. Enable the Jetpack code again, then have
player one get it. Both players can now fly around and do the two player
missions this way.
Lock
two player mode camera view: After two player mode is activated, press Select to lock
the view to either player.
Oyster
bonus: Collect all fifty oysters to increase your sex appeal and lung
capacity.
Note: To find the oysters
faster, get a Sea Sparrow (which can land on water). You can find one by
the Sherman Dam.
Horseshoe
bonus: Collect all fifty horseshoes in Las Venturas to get a M4, MP5,
combat shotgun, and satchel charges to appear at the Four Dragons Casino.
Tag
bonus: Spray all one hundred hidden tags in Los Santos to get an
AK-47, Tec-9, Sawn-off shotgun, and Molotov cocktails to appear inside
your house on Grove Street.
Snapshot
bonus: Take all fifty snapshots in San Fierro to get a sniper rifle,
Micro SMG, shotgun, and grenades to appear at your San Fierro garage.
Racing
bonus: Get first place in all races at the four racing locations
across San Andreas (marked with a checkered flag on the map/radar) to win
$1,000,000.
100%
game completion bonuses: CJ will get a stats boost, extra money, and a Rhino and Hydra
will be delivered to CJ's house on Grove Street.
Increase
muscle or stamina: At about 22:00, go to a gym and work out, maxing yourself.
After you have worked out enough for the day, wait another minute until
the time is 0:00. Max yourself out for that day then go home. Save two or
three times and you can repeat this process.
To get your character maxed
out in the muscle and stamina attributes, do the following. Go the gym
near the Johnson house. Work out until you are told that it is enough for
one day. Go home (right down the block), save the game to advance to the
next day. Return to the gym and you can work out again. You can now max
out your muscle and stamina in less then a half hour.
Note: This trick requires a
controller with a turbo feature. Go to a gym or Madd Dogg's mansion. Get
on the treadmill and set it to level 7, 8, or 9. Enable the turbo feature
and just hold X instead of tapping it. Your stamina will increase
easily. You can also do this with weights, but you will have to tap Circle
and X a little bit.
Increase
bike skill: Enable the "Massive bunny hops" code. Keep jumping
very high by holding L1 for a long time. As you jump, do some flips
(backwards or any funny stunt) and land perfectly. You will then receive a
unique stunt award or an insane stunt award and your skill will increase.
To do this perfectly without falling while doing the stunts, use the
"Never fall off your bike" glitch. Get some speed, jump as high
as possible, do stunts, and do not fall. This will increase CJ's bike
skill.
Increase
driving skill: Go to San Fierro and pass the tests at the driving school.
Find a tractor or a slow
moving car. Drive the roads without going as fast as you can (move
slowly). This will take awhile, but will increase your driving skills.
Increase
underwater skill: Repeatedly swim underwater to increase your lung capacity and
your underwater skill.
Increase
weapon skill: Achieve a high wanted level and go into a restaurant. Shoot
everyone with the weapon that you want to raise in rank. If you walk
around and wait, police will spawn, but will not shoot you. Police can
raise your weapon skill faster than pedestrians. This works best in Burger
Shot because of the wide area that you can walk around in. Continue until
you reach Hitman status.
Use the following trick in
front of any safe house. Use the gun you want to get up to Hitman status
to repeatedly shoot a car until it explodes. Then, go to the next car.
Repeat this until you reach Hitman status for that weapon. Watch out for
the police. You can shoot them, then keep shooting the cars. When you are
almost dead, enter your safe house and save the game. Your health will be
restored and wanted level removed.
To attain Hitman level
quicker, select your desired weapon and go to a Pay 'N' Spray. Park your
vehicle directly next to the Pay 'N' Spray. Exit the vehicle and
repeatedly shoot people, cars, and cops. When your wanted level is raised
to two stars or above, run to your vehicle and drive into the Pay 'N'
Spray to cancel it. If your vehicle is not damaged, the respray is free.
Wait for the wanted stars to stop flashing, then start shooting people
again.
Get lots of bullets for the
guns that you want Hitman or Gangster status for. Go to Tierra Robada.
Look around at the north of the island to find a little house. Stay in
there and enable the "Increase wanted level" code three times.
Stay in the cabin and wait for the police to approach. When they enter the
house, kill them.
Go into a police station and
find a room with one entry point, and something that you can hide behind
(like a desk). Take out your weapon. You should now have a two star wanted
level. Shoot any cop who comes through the door. Every cop you shoot makes
your gun skill go up by about five. Do this until you either die, run out
of bullets, or enable the "Lower wanted level" code.
Easy
Pilot license: Go to the airport in San Fierro and enable the "Spawn
Jetpack" code. Enter the Shamel jet and enable the "Speed up
time" code. Fly it until a message appears in the corner. Fly it for
about five or ten more minutes and you will have a pilot license without
going to pilot school. Note: Make sure you save the game.
Lose
weight quickly: If you want to lose weight quickly, enable the "Speed up
time" code.
Stay
underwater forever: Dive underwater, and once your breath is out, you will start
losing health. If you want to stay underwater, keep enabling the
"Armor, health, money, and street creds" code when your health
is low. You will be able to remain underwater, and max your Lung Capacity
attribute easily.
Jump into deep water. Swim
underwater to a decent depth. While underwater, enable the "Maximum
lung capacity" code. You will notice that your lung capacity is full
and will stay full. This may require a few attempts. Try driving a Rhino
tank into the water and wait for it to sink to the bottom. You can drive
the tank and even shoot the boats that are on top of the water.
Restore
breath faster: When you are swimming and are about to run out of breath,
return to the surface. Keep jumping up and down with Square. Your
breath meter will refill faster.
Raising
stats quicker: Go to any pier over any body of water. Swim under the pier and
stay in one position. This will immensely raise your muscle, stamina, and
lung capacity in just under a minute. Stay under longer for better
results.
Survive
high falls: Max out your health bar and get full armor. Go to a high
building, such as the one in the Downtown area of Los Santos. Get on the
roof and jump off without a parachute in your inventory. When you hit the
ground, you will lose most of your life, but still have a small amount
remaining. Note: If you have a parachute in your inventory, you will die
when you hit the ground.
Repeatedly tap Square
as CJ is falling to take less damage when he hits the ground.
If you accidentally fall off
a very high building, enable the "Spawn parachute" code. Press Circle
to pop the parachute and you will drift safely down to the ground.
Return
to land faster: If you get stuck in the water, enable the "Spawn Hotring
Racer" then "Spawn Jetpack" codes. It will not appear until
you are on a non watery surface. Quickly jump on the car. It may be a far
ride, but it is better than swimming.
Unlimited
running boost: Enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. When you have
Jetpack on, take it off. Then, get about thirty feet behind it so you have
running distance. Run into it by using the running boost (hold Left
Analog-stick Up and keep tapping X). Just before you run into
the Jetpack, release X and keep the Left Analog-stick in
running position. This will give you unlimited running boost until the Left
Analog-stick is released.
Run
faster: To run faster, enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. Then,
hold X while pressing the Left Analog-stick Forward. If done
correctly, CJ will run faster than any car.
Descend
quickly: When stuck at the top of a cliff or a mountain and you need to
go to the bottom, do not bother going the long way around to get down
safely. Instead, edge yourself to the end of the cliff/ mountain and
slowly but surely you will slide down the side and land safely at the
bottom.
Skydiving: Go to any airport. Look for a yellow arrow at the entrances of
the airport where you can buy a ticket to another city. Buy the ticket and
start the flight. Do not press X and skip the flight. Wait for the
airplane to take off and get high in the air. Press Triangle and CJ
will jump out of the airplane with a parachute and begin skydiving. When
you want to open the parachute, press Circle and float down. There
are also other places you can skydive, such as the tall building in the
Downtown area Los Santos, and off the top of Mount Chiliad.
To get a parachute very
easily, get into any type of flying vehicle, except the Jetpack. You will
instantly receive a parachute. If you fly high into the air, then jump out
of your plane or helicopter, the parachute will automatically be switched
into your weapon inventory.
Skydive
longer: Enable the "Cars fly away" code. Go to any airport
and hit any aircraft. Then, enter that craft. All you have to do is steer.
Soon the height meter will just stay up. You will get to fly higher than
normal when you do this. Fly as high as you desired, then Jump out for a
long trip back to earth.
Enable the "Spawn
Hunter", "Spawn Parachute", and "Fast motion"
codes. Get in the Hunter and go as high as it will go. With the "Fast
motion" code, this should only take about thirty seconds. When at the
top limit, enter the "Fast motion" code again to deactivate its
effect. Begin your jump, let the parachute out, and land.
Unlock
areas quickly: Enable the "Wanted level never increases" code. Go to
the shaded areas of the game and they will become unlocked. If you go to a
safe house and save the game, all areas will be unlocked from now on.
However, in order not to be wanted when you go back into these areas, you
must enable the "Wanted level never increases" code again, but
you will be free to roam about.
Basketball
Challenge mini-game: Go to one of the basketball courts that have full courts and a
chain link fence round them. One of the hoops will have a basketball. Walk
up to the basketball and press Triangle to start playing. While
playing basketball, press R3 to start the Basketball Challenge
mini-game. A red marker will appear on the court. Run to the red marker
and shoot the ball. If you make the shot, the red marker will move to a
new spot on the court. The goal of the mini-game is to sink as many shots
as you can before time runs out. Each shot you make adds a few seconds on
to the clock. When time runs out, CJ will automatically resume playing
basketball. Your highest score will recorded and shown the next time you
play the Basketball Challenge mini-game.
Basketball
tricks: While playing basketball, press Circle to spin the ball
on your finger. Press Square to roll the ball along your shoulders.
Dual
weapons: Reach the "Hitman" rank in a weapon skill to be able
to wield two of that weapon at once. To increase your weapon skill,
practice at the shooting range or use that weapon frequently. You can dual
wield pistols, the sawed off shotgun, Uzi, and Tek.
Double
SMG ammunition: Go into an Ammu-Nation and enter the shooting range. Press Triangle
as soon as it starts to exit the shooting range. If you were carrying an
SMG at the time, your ammunition will have doubled. Repeat this trick to
get as much as needed.
Suicide
bomber: Enable the "Weapon tier 3" code and then select the
bombs which are blown up by a detonator. Throw one of them at someone, and
it should stick to them. You can now blow them up like a suicide bomber.
Cheap
car bomb: Get a fast car or a motorcycle. Either shoot the vehicle or
bang it up real good. When it is on fire, press Triangle to jump
out. This technique is also good for taking over hoods quickly and easily.
Reaching
other cities early: Hijack the train. The easiest is when it is at one of the
stations. Then, drive it full speed to the bridges to the other islands.
You may need to use the entire city to pick up enough speed. Also, you
must be careful around sharp turns. The train will de-rail. Note: This was
done with the freight train. When you approach the bridge at the edge of
the city, you will slow down, even if you are going very fast. The train
will pass through the barricade, as if it were a ghost. You will get a
four star wanted level. There is a police bribe on the train tracks in the
second city that you will pick up if you pass by it on the train, but your
wanted level will immediately jump back to four stars. Also, the train is
bullet proof. You cannot die from bullets when inside the train.
The following is a multi-step
process which may take some time to get correct. Get the parachute located
on top of the very tall building a few blocks from the police station in
downtown Los Santos. The building is shaped circular inside and
"L" shaped on your map. Walk around to the northeast corner of
the circular building and step into the yellow triangle to get the
parachute that is on the roof. Take it, and keep it (do not switch to a
weapon). Go back down and get armor from the police station. It is nearby
and has two sets. Do not draw a weapon in the station or you will get a
two star wanted level. Next, get the jet at LSX, the airport at Los
Santos. Drive up to the gate, climb up on your car, and onto the guard
booth, and climb over into the airport. Walk back around to the gate. It
will open, and you can get your car and drive back in. Then, find the jet.
It is called the Shamal and is located at the end of the runway. Take off
and get some practice flying, diving, climbing, rolling, etc. Next, choose
a location on your map that you want to go. You can press Circle on
the map screen to pin that location on the radar. For example, choose the
Binco store in Las Venturas. It is next to the Las Venturas airport and
the highway. Once you pass the city line, you will get four stars on your
wanted meter. Because you are in the air, they will try to shoot you down
with missiles. Notice the two red blips on your radar that are fast
approaching. Dive, climb, and roll and the missiles will miss. Do not
forget to keep your eye on your target. Once you are over your target and
are very high, press Triangle to exit the plane. You will drop
straight down. You must be high enough for your parachute to open or you
die when you hit the ground. When you are safely on the ground, start
running. If you chose to go to Binco or another store, notice that you can
go inside and buy clothes. If you buy clothes, you will get rid of the
four stars wanted level, as long as you remain in the store. Once you step
outside, the four stars will return to your wanted meter.
Enable the "Drive on
water" code or swim across the ocean to where you want to go. You
will automatically get a four star wanted level when coming ashore in Las
Ventruas and a five star wanted level for coming ashore in San Fierro.
These stars will not go away with the "Lower wanted level" code,
but will disappear when you leave the city.
When in Los Santos, you will
find that all bridges to the other two regions will be blocked by
blockades. Sometimes if you try to go through the blockade at high speed
with a fast vehicle, it will go through and glitch, along with the AI
vehicles that are following.
Enable the "Wanted level
never increases" and "Flying car" codes. You can now go to
all of San Andreas without that four star wanted level appearing. Note:
This will have to be done again every time you load a saved game. Also, if
you shoot cops with the "Wanted level never increases" code
enabled, some cops will get out and walk away but others will fire their
guns at you.
Stealth
kills: With a knife, target a person and sneak up behind them. Press Circle,
and if they do not notice you, you will perform an instant kill silently.
Manual
aim with any weapon while driving: Enable the "Manual weapon drive bys in cars" code and
run out of bullets in your Uzi, Tec-9, or Micro SMG. Get out of your
vehicle, then select the weapon of your choice (except grenades and rocket
launchers). Get back into the vehicle and enable any "Weapons"
code. The crosshairs are back on and you can shoot that weapon.
Keep
weapons when dying: When the screen turns black after you are killed, quickly
enable a "Weapons" code before you reappear in front of a
hospital. You will have the same weapons as before your death.
Destroying
cars quickly: To quickly blow up cars, shoot the gas tank. This is useful
when killing a lot of people at once.
Destroying
helicopters quickly: If you have three stars or more and are under attack by a
helicopter, you can score a one hit kill against it with a sniper rifle.
If it is night time, the helicopter will shine a bright flood light in
your eyes. However, if you zoom in with the rifle it will disappear. To
take it down in one hit shoot the helicopter in the small spinning object
under the rotors, or close to the base of the object. It will crash just
as if you had killed it with a rifle. It is easier to shoot them if you
are on top of a high building.
Car
surfing: Hop on top of a car and fire your gun. When you fire any gun,
all the drivers around you will start driving wildly to escape you,
including the car that you are standing on. It feels like as if you are on
a roller coaster. Try it on the highway, and try to pick off the cars
around you. For even more fun, try this game with the "Flying
cars", "Sports car traffic", or "Carnival theme"
codes enabled.
Play
pool for free: First, enter a bar, such as "The Green Bottle" in the
Ganton area of Los Santos. Find a pool table and wager whatever desired.
If you lose the game, just use the cue stick to hit the person who just
took your money to death. Then, pick the money he drops, which may be
slightly more than your bet.
When you walk in the bar,
either play a game of pool or just kill the man standing there and take
his pool stick. Square up with the pool table and start pressing Circle.
The pool balls should move. If not, then square yourself with the pool
table.
Free
pool shots: When playing pool you can get a free shot by pressing Triangle
as you take your shot and hit the ball. If done correctly, you should hit
the ball and your cue should follow your white ball like if you had never
taken your shot. If you pot the white ball by doing this, it freezes your
game. Simply press Triangle as you press the Right Analog-stick
Forward and you will get an extra shot every time.
Hit
pedestrian with the front of your shotgun: Note: This cannot be done with more than two weapons. Get a
melee weapon (baseball bat, dildo, or a police nightstick and an ordinary
shotgun. If you have more than those two weapons then this trick cannot be
done. Switch to your melee weapon. Walk up to a pedestrian and hit them
then immediately press Circle to switch to your shotgun. If done
correctly, CJ should hit the pedestrian with the shotgun as if he were
using it as a melee weapon.
Recruiting
gang members: Press R1 to target a gang member, then press D-pad Up.
Saving
gang members: To save a gang member or bodyguard when you turn off the game,
go to your safe house. Go to your garage Run in the garage with your
bodyguards. Run out without your bodyguards, and then save the game.
Gang
member drive-by: Once you have a level one Respect upgrade, go to Grove street
and walk up to a gang member (dressed in green). Without a gun equipped,
hold R1 on a gang member and press D-pad Up. You have now
recruited him into your own personal mini-gang. If you get into a car,
they will follow you. If you get three gang members and get in a four-door
car, you can drive through Balla territory and your homies will lean out
of the car and shoot at the Ballas who are driving by or standing around.
They will also attack anyone who could be a threat to you (for example,
the police). You can get only one gang member on the back of a PCJ-600,
and no gang members on a Rhino. Note: To tell your members to stay, hold R1
and press D-pad Down. To tell them to follow you, hold R1
and press D-pad Up.
Keep
gang territory easily: If your gang turf is under attack, go to a save point and save
the game. When it is done saving, your turf will no longer be under attack
and it will still be yours.
When your hood is under
attack, find a police car or motorcycle, fire truck, ambulance, or taxi.
Get in and press R3 to start the vehicle's missions. Then, press R3
again to exit and your hood will be safe.
Taking
over gang territories: An easy way to take over territories is to find a high place
like a roof top. First, kill a few gang members to start the war, then get
onto a roof. When you are up there, they will still shoot at you but will
not have accurate aim and will miss frequently.
It is recommended that the
"Air Strip" missions be completed first. To easily take over
territories, go to the airstrip and take the Jetpack. Go to any enemy
territory and start a gang war by killing some enemy gang members. Fly and
land on any building roof you can easily see incoming enemy gang members.
Kill all gang members from up there. By doing this, you can easily hold
all enemy territories. Be patient when killing gang members, and try to
stay inside the war zone. The distance between the airstrip and enemy
territories is long, but this is the easiest way to quickly and safely
hold enemy gang territories. All territories can be held by using the
Jetpack, but only one by one.
Go to another gang's
territory. Kill some gang members until the "You have provoked a gang
war'' message appears. Get on the roof of a house and put down a large
number of remote explosives. When the other gang arrive to kill you, press
the remote and it should kill them. You must go through three rounds of
the gang to win the territory.
Gang
member race: You can do this trick in any race mission with the checkered
flag on your map. Bring a gang member with you. You can even bring three
if the race is with a four door car. Walk into the red mission circle.
Select a race and when it starts and counts down, you will see your gang
member spawn to the street and walk towards your car. The races will
start, and you must wait a moment before he gets in your car.
Gang
member poses: Get a camera and recruit one of your Grove Street members. Hold
R1 to look through the lens, and your gang member will go in front
of it and give a thumbs up or wave.
Take
a photo of yourself: Have the camera active as your current weapon, then target a
member of your own gang. Press L1 to give them the camera and they
will snap a picture of CJ.
Have the camera and recruit a
gang member. Switch to the camera and get close to the gang member you
just recruited. There will be a menu pop up on the top left, telling you
to press L1. After you press L1, get into place and take the
picture.
Climbing
trees: To climb a tree, find a ledge that will allow you to jump to
the branches at the top of a tree. If you hit them correctly, CJ should
grab onto the branches and allow you to pull him up. There is an easily
accessible one just outside of Glen Park Hospital to practice with.
Breaking
fences: Walk up to a fence and either punch it or cut it with a
chainsaw.
Stop
climbing fence or ledge: To stop climbing a fence or ledge, tap Triangle while CJ
is trying to get over.
Expand
and shrink moon: Use a sniper rifle to shoot the moon to make it expand, then
shrink in size.
Lock
on enemies: When fighting someone (not with gun), press R1 to lock
on to them.
Spray
paint as a weapon: The spray paint is not only is meant for spraying tags. It also
can be used as a weapon. Aim the spray paint in the direction of a
pedestrian and they will lean forward, coughing.
Gain
respect: To gain respect, stay in your neighborhood and get a wanted
star, then kill all the police that arrives. Once you reach a four star
wanted level (and if you killed enough police), you will gain some
respect.
Completing missions is not
the only way to earn respect. By spraying other gang's tags, you will also
earn a bit, and by taking over another gang's area you will earn a lot.
Note: You must have completed some missions before you can take over
areas. You can see on the radar witch areas you have taken over, and which
areas the enemy gangs own. Your own territory is marked with green, and
your enemies are yellow or purple.
Respect
status: Your respect is made up of the following factors:
Your running respect is
changed by the following factors:
Killing a dealer: +.005%
Killing a gang member: +.5%
Killing a member of your gang: -.005%
A member of your gang is killed: -2%
Territory gained: +30%
Territory lost: -3%
Your respect affects the
number of gang members that you can recruit:
Easy
money: In order to waste time to allow money to accumulate without
dealing with CJs eating needs, simply press Triangle in front of
the television in your hideout. His health will remain constant, without
him needing to eat. You can leave the PlayStation2 idling in this state to
accumulate money easily.
Find a save point that is
close to a betting shop. The one in the Montgomery are is ideal because it
is near to the save point where you have to do the four missions for
Catalina. Save your game, then go to the betting shop and bet all your
money on a horse. It takes awhile to enter the numbers, but is worth it
because you can make a huge amount of cash (especially if you bet on
horses with odds of 10/1, 11/1, 12/1, etc.). It takes roughly three to
four minutes to bet the maximum amount of money, which is $9,999,995. You
will not win every time. When you lose, reload your last saved game. It is
possible to get $250,000,000 by betting your winnings of $30,000 to
$700.000 to $2,000,000 to the maximum bet.
You can get money by stealing
a taxi.
Walk into a bar and beat up
all the customers with a bat, nightstick, or pool cue. More customers
spawn and your wanted level will not rise. No one pulls out a gun, and
your maximum health will increase after a number of fights. Beating up the
person next to the pool tables gets you a pool cue, and every once in
awhile a customer will spill a few hundred dollars.
Enable the "Flying
cars" code. Fly around for a few seconds then touch the ground. You
will get money for insane stunts.
Enable the "Vehicle of
death" and "Flying cars" code. When you are up in the air,
fly down to the ground and hit it to get money for a unique trick. The
higher you go and hit the ground, the more money you can make. You can
also deactivate the code while in the air and hit the ground to make a lot
of money.
While on a BMX bike, enable
the "Massive bunny hops" code. put on the code mad hops. Then,
hold L1 and jump. While in the air, hold L1 and as soon as
you hit the ground release the button. Do this continuously to get big
combos.
Enable the "Kinky
theme" code and wait until you see all the girls walking towards you.
When they approach, enable the "Super punch" code. Punch one of
them to kill her to get get money and a dildo.
Saving
money: Buy lots of ammunition for the Tec-9 which costs about $300.
When you have enough, buy one SMG. The game will transfer all your Tec-9
ammunition into your SMG, saving you thousands of dollars. Note: This does
not work for the pistols, rifles, or thrown weapons.
Easy
races: Before a race, enable the "Pedestrian riot" code. The
racers will start fighting with fans and you can finish in first without
even trying.
Easy
Hitman rating: Shoot at the black part of a wheel. If you shoot at the rim it
will not work. Keep on shooting until the skill bar is all the way up for
the desired weapon.
Easy
dual sawn-off shotgun ability: It is recommended that you spray all 100 tags, as it is easier
for ammunition and early on missions. Get a cop car (preferably a car, OT
truck, rancher, etc.). Save it in the Johnson family garage. Save the game
if desired. Get a large amount of sawn-off shotgun ammunition. If all 100
tags were sprayed, it is available in Johnson kitchen. Go to the garage.
Get as far away from the car as possible without letting the garage door
close. Then crouch, aim for the grill of the police car, and shoot. Every
few shots (or every time the car catches fire), you should have more
weapon skill. It will eventually upgrade about every minute. When it
catches on fire, let the garage repair the car and come back. This does
not work as well at getting Hitman on the other weapons.
Eating
too much: If you eat too much in a restaurant you will vomit on the floor
and the cashier will laugh at you. After this happens, you cannot eat
again for a while.
Effects
of being fat: When you are fat, CJ will say different phrases. For example,
when you are fighting he will say "I got weight on my side," or
"I may be big, but I ain't slow". The downside to being fat is
that when your body fat meter gets full, you run the risk of having a
heart attack. This only happens in very rare circumstances. You will
return to the nearest hospital. Also, if you have no muscle stat, or very
little, you may not be able to climb high walls or "super
sprint". When fat, CJ will waddle around like a penguin, and if you
look closely (this happens with no shirt) the fat on his body will wobble.
Vending
machines: When you find a vending machine that serves chips, zoom in on
it with a pistol or rifle. It is blurry, but you can tell that the chips
inside the machine are real-life brands. Some chips that can be easily
identified are Doritos, Lay's Potato Chips, and Munchos, to name a few.
Wanted
level officers, weapons, and vehicles: Depending on your wanted level, different law enforcement
vehicles, officers, and weapons will be used against you.
One star: Police officers
on foot, in cars, and HPV1000s (police bikes) will go after you. They
have 9mms and nightsticks. If you do not have a gun out, they will try
to beat you with their nightsticks. If you have a gun out, they will
shoot.
Two stars: Police officers
in cars and HPV1000s will come after you. They will have 9mms and
nightsticks, although they will not use their nightsticks. They will
shoot at you no matter what. If you are in a car, cops will drive faster
after you.
Three stars: Police
officers in cars will go after you. They will have the same weapons.
Police choppers are now involved and shoot you from their guns. Police
cars will go fast enough to be able to keep up with you and roadblocks
will be in place at times, with officers shooting 9mms at your car.

the FBI; there will be less cop and SWAT cars. The police chopper still

agents carry SMGs.

soldiers will go after you in Rhinos (tanks) and Barracks trucks. They
will replace the FBI in roadblocks. The army will carry M4s.

Radio
comments:
After doing some Grove
Street missions and seizing territory, one of the DJs on the radio will
say "Have you heard Grove Streets making a comeback? That's great
news. hope they don't take me out just for playing this music."
After the 555 We Tip
mission, another DJ says "Did you hear about that D.A. with the
trunk full of drugs? I can't believe that. Keeping it all for his own
personal stash."
You can also listen to the
talk radio to hear Lazlo host the entertainment section, where he
interviews OG LOC (the rapper you help during the Grove Street missions)
OG LOC's manager is now Big Smoke .
Radio
stations diss each other: Listen to Radio Los Santos and K-DST. On Radio Los Santos, at
times between songs, Julio G. (station DJ) will make fun of the Playback
FM DJ, saying "Playback FM has some cool records, but the DJ is
wack," and Tommy "Nightmare" Smith, (K-DST DJ) will make
fun of the Radio X DJ, usually just before the song "Running Down a
Dream". He will say, "You know, I can't bear that chick on Radio
X, or is it Rock X, Rock...listen sweetheart, get over it."
Radio
shout-out from Denise: After you obtain Denise as you girlfriend after the Burning
Desire mission, listen to Radio Los Santos. At times between songs, Julio
G. (the DJ) will have a shout-out from Denise to you, and at the end he
criticizes the shout out by saying "I got a shout out from Denise in
Ganton who says she misses her boy desperately. And I quote, desperately.
Hey, you know, this isn't Lonely Hearts, this is Radio Los Santos."
Screensaver: Allow the game to idle for a few minutes. The HUD will
disappear and the game will zoom in on other nearby people instead of CJ.
Candy
Suxxx reference: Some of the safe houses you can purchase have a familiar
picture of adult film star Candy Suxxx on the wall, who originally
appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Grand
Theft Auto 3 reference: Pay close attention to the shows that are heard on WFTC while
cruising around San Andreas. Notice that one of the shows is called
"Gardening With Maurice". If listened to Chatterbox in Grand
Theft Auto 3, you may remember Lazlow (the host) talking to a caller
who said "Gardening With Maurice" got taken off the air.
Obviously this game takes place further in the past, so "Gardening
With Maurice" is still on.
Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City references: In the mission when you have to rescue Truth's friends, one of
them is Kent Paul from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The old man who
runs the casino that you later meet in the mission is Ken Rosenberg, Tommy
Vercetti's lawyer in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and mentions
Tommy and the "good old days" in an intermission sequence.
Walk into an Ammu-Nation and
listen carefully. You can hear a commercial that was featured in Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City. It says "The store leading the fight
against communism is having a blowout sale! Ammunation has a wide
selection of Peace Makers! Come by Ammunation on Militia Mondays... "
In various places, the
"No Trespassing" signs are seen in the loading screen of Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City.
