Vehicles
Admiral:
Damage-proof:
Play the Guardian Angels mission. Fail the mission and take the Admiral
that your associates arrived in. It is dent and bullet proof.
After you pass or fail the
Guardian Angels mission, go to the white car to the right of the stairs
that you will go back down. This car is bulletproof, fireproof, and damage
proof. However, if it flips upside down it will explode and will still
cause you to drown if driven into water.
It is possible to obtain this
car after passing the Guardian Angels mission. After you pass the mission,
Diaz turns left and he disappears, leaving the Admiral in the middle of
the intersection.
When you are about to
complete the Guardian Angels mission by entering the pink circle, shoot
Diaz's car. When Tommy asks "Where's Lance?", turn left and
Diaz's car will be there without him inside.
Admiral:
Black:
Do the Check Out At The Check-In phone mission. Before you start the
mission, get a Rhino and put it in a garage at Sunshine Autos. Then, kill
the man and take the package. Get a car and go to the Pay 'N' Spray at
Sunshine Autos. Then, get the Rhino in your garage and blow up one of the
Admirals. Push it into your garage and you will have a pitch black
Admiral.
Ambulance:
Ride on top:
When somebody dies near you, an ambulance will soon appear. Before it
starts to leave, jump on it and stay there to get a ride through the town.
When the ambulance reaches a red light and a car is in front of it, the
ambulance will hit the car and you will start to get thrown off. To
prevent this, move towards the center of the ambulance. The same thing
will happen when the ambulance is going around a corner.
Angel:
Go to the Greasy Choppers Bike Club in Downtown to find the patriotic
Angel motorcycle.
Baggage
Handler:
Behind Escobar International Airport is a pile of luggage with a car that
resembles a Caddy. This is the Baggage Handler. There is also one on the
side of the airport.
Barracks
O.L.:
Get your wanted level to six stars. The army troops will arrive in
Barracks O.L.s.
BF
Injection: Flip and spin in the air:
Enable the "Full health", "Car floats on
water", and "Better driving skills" codes. Drive into the
sea and press R3 or L3 in the water to do a jump. When you
are upside down in the water, press R3 again. If timed correctly,
your BF Injection should fly into the air, performing flips and spins.
Blood
Ring Bangers:
After winning the Destruction Derby at Hyman Stadium, two Blood
Ring Bangers will be parked outside. Once you exit the stadium, go to the
right. Thenm walk around the stadium until you see the first parking area.
There will be two Blood Ring Bangers. They will respawn if you destroy
them, and will be at that same place forever. Each time you find those
cars, they will change in number, color, and/or graphic design.
Caddy:
Go to Escobar International Airport and go straight around the
terminal to find a Caddy.
Get outside the golf course
on the road for the main entrance. Walk on that road in front of the main
entrance, constantly looking at the street next to it. When you see a
Caddy coming in the distance, run in the direction its going to cut him
off. If you run out of energy, shoot at the Caddy with a pistol. The
driver should get out and run away.
Jack a Caddy while in the
Leaf Links golf course. There is a ramp to the right of the entrance of
the golf course off a paved road/walkway. It will take you to the entrance
outside of Leaf Links. You can get any of your weapons back that you had
to drop to enter Leaf Links by doing this.
Go to the lighthouse in the
Ocean Beach area. Before you cross the bridge, you should see a Rampage
icon to your left next to a big huge bush near the street. After you cross
the bridge, walk up to the first or second bush to your right. If you look
very close, you may be able to see something there. Stand next to the bush
and press Triangle (PlayStation2) or Y (Xbox). Tommy should
immediately run inside the bush and hop in the hidden Caddy. Note: There
is also a Hidden Package on the steps to the lighthouse.
Enable the "Car floats
on water" code then get in a Caddy at Leaf Links. Drive it into the
ocean and just head towards the beach at Vice Point or Washington Beach.
Caddy:
Drive out of the golfing area:
In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Dodo car"
code. Steal a golf cart (Caddy) and drive towards the exit area (where the
view is from a security camera). Instead of going in that area, go up the
grass hill to the left of the stairs. Fly over the house by pressing Analog-stick
Down. Try to avoid the windows which pop out and stop you from flying.
If you make it on the roof, go right or left immediately to avoid the big
pillar then continue down to the street. This may be difficult at first,
but can be done with some practice.
Steal a Caddy, then take it
to the building where you first entered. Drive it off to the right, where
there is a ramp you can take to get onto the street outside of Leaf Links.
Caddy:
Front flips and barrel rolls:
Enable the "Better driving skills" code and steal a
Caddy from somewhere. When going fast enough, press R3 to jump. As
soon as you land, press R3 again to do a front flip. Some practice
may be required to get the correct timing. To do a barrel roll repeatedly,
jump it three times and when it starts rolling over, turn the wheels in
the opposite direction that you are rolling. Keep the wheels turned, then
it will keep rolling over.
Cheetah:
Go to the docks behind the warehouse (where the party boat is
located) and look around for a Cheetah. This car respawns often. If you
steal it too much, it may not spawn for a long time.
Cheetah:
Variations:
Look at the mirrors on the Cheetahs. Some of them only have a
mirror on the driver's side door and are higher. The others have two
mirrors, mounted lower.
Cheetah,
FBI:
The FBI Cheetah can be found on the left side of the map at the
police station near the bottom at about 21:00 until 1:00.
Coach:
Easy money:
Hijack a Coach bus. You can ride around town and look for the
bus stop signs. You will make $5 for each person you pick up. Sometimes
you can even wait at the bus stop and people will start entering the bus.
Coach:
Ride with cops:
Go to a bus stop and wait for a bus. Get in and kill the
driver. Attract the police, get them near the door, then go in. The police
will enter with you but you will not get caught.
Coach:
Easier getaway from cops:
If you are running from the cops, hijack a Coach. Even though
they are very slow, they are very big and can withstand a lot of damage.
The police cars cannot stop it or make it spin out. Unfortunately, when
the bus catches on fire, it takes a long time to get out of it, and there
is a good chance that you will get wasted.
Coach:
Drive with many women:
Enable the "Tommy groupies" code and get a Coach. Let
women get in with you. If you exit the bus, all the women that were riding
with you will get off and follow you.
Coast
Guard boat:
Go to the bridge leading from Starfish Island to Little Haiti.
Go down the road until you see the first big boat. Look for a small strip
dock. Go to the end and look in the water. You should see a different
looking boat; just fall off onto it.
Once you unlock the second
island, go to Vice Port and go to the place where you meet Rico (from the
Cuban mission Naval Engagement). Go onto the docks heading north. You will
see a wire from the water. Go near it and enter the boat. You should now
be in the Coast Guard boat.
Cuban
Hearse: Fire on wheels:
In the PlayStation2 version, jack a Cuban Hearse. Hold R1
+ X and look at the back tires. There will be fire coming out of
the wheels.
Cuban
Jetmax:
Buy the shipyard in Vice Port for $10,000. The boat will
respawn there and will be yours for the taking.
Deluxo:
To get the Deluxo, you must first purchase Sunshine Autos. Go
down to where all of the garages are and look for one with a dry-erase
board next to it. This board indicates what cars you need to bring to that
garage. Once you bring in all of the cars, you will receive the Deluxo and
Sunshine Autos will also begin making money for you. Dirt
Bike:
You can find a Dirt Bike in the alley near Ken Rosenberg's
office in Washington Beach.
Enforcer:
Free armor:
Steal an Enforcer and you will get full armor instantly.
FBI
Rancher:
Get your wanted level to five stars. When the FBI arrives, they
will do so in a FBI Rancher.
FBI
Washington:
Go downtown to the Well Stacked Pizza. Go to the nearby alley
(the south alley shaped like a near perfect square on the map). Look
around to find a black Washington. If it is not there, then drive away a
distance (like to Hyman Memorial Stadium) then return. If not, do it
again.
Gang
Burrito:
The Gang Burrito is located on Prawn Island. It is a red van
with a red spoiler.
Hotring
Racer:
Complete the fourth and final list of cars at Sunshine Auto.
You can unlock the Hotring
Demolition Derby cars by successfully completing all three events in the
stadium. The two cars will be parked over by the left side of the stadium.
Hotring
Racer: Third type:
Go to Sunshine Autos after the asset is fully completed. Take
the racer from the showroom, then use the codes to spawn Hotring Racers 1
and 2. Line them up and compare them to see that there are in fact three
different Hotring Racers.
Hunter:
Once you have completed the Keep Your Friends Close mission, a
Hunter will be available at the back of Fort Baxter Air Base near the
airport. To get it, either use the police uniform which is unlocked after
a certain mission is completed (located at the Washington Beach police
department, inside the locker room to the left of the entrance), or simply
fly a helicopter high overhead to the back of the base, then quickly land
and get in the Hunter.
Get a helicopter and get your
wanted level to two stars. Go to Fort Baxter Air Base. You should see the
Hunter in the back, where its fenced in. Bail out when you are directly
over the Hunter. Get in and repeatedly enable the "Health" code
to recover from the soldiers that are shooting at you. Get airborne and
fly out of there.
After collecting all 100
hidden packages, the Hunter will be available at the helipad in the Ocean
Beach area at the southern tip of the first island.
Go to the police station in
Washington Beach (located about three blocks south of the Malibu Club).
Walk inside, turn left to the locker room and get the uniform there. Note:
It only appears there after the Copland mission has been completed. Go
into Fort Baxter Air Base. The military will then not consider you an
enemy, and thus not fire. Break the barricade at the base and immediately
go north (left). You will see stairs there. Get out, climb up those
stairs, and run towards the catwalk for the building that you are in. Go
through the catwalk and down the stairs on the other side of the fence
(that contains the Rhino). You need to be able to reach the high guard
tower (or that area). Once you are close to the guard tower, run to the
obstacle course, then all the way across it. When you are at the other
side, make a left turn and go through the gate.
Once you complete the story
missions, look in the Ocean Beach area at the house near the docks of the
Cortez missions. It has a helipad, which should now spawn a Hunter. You no
longer need to run around in Fort Baxter Air Base to get it.
To get the Hunter easier,
complete the game, get the usual police uniform, and enable the
"Pedestrians riot" code. When you fly overhead, the soldiers
guarding Fort Baxter Air Base will be too busy killing each other to cause
too much trouble.
In the PlayStation2 version,
once in the Hunter, press R3 to begin Brown Thunder vigilante
mission.
Play the All Hands on Deck
mission and get to the part where the bridge is blocked off. Note: Do not
unblock the bridge as it will give you as much time as you want to get the
Hunter. Wait until two Maverick helicopters appear and destroy them. A
Hunter will appear and shoot at you. As it makes passes over the ship to
attack you, shoot the pilot through the cockpit windows. The pilot will
fall out of the helicopter. If done correctly, the Hunter should land on
the ship perfectly. If it spun out on the ship, quickly get in the Hunter
and enable the "Health" code to fix it. Fly it to the docks,
land, fail the mission by using a manual aimed gun (sniper rifle
preferred) to shoot Cortez. The game should restart at the docks and the
Hunter should be where you landed. Note: If you use the Hunter to pass the
mission, you end up in a Speeder boat upon completion.
Use the following
time-sensitive trick to get a Hunter without any codes. Wait just outside
the Fort Baxter Air Base in a helicopter over water at 6:50. Begin a run,
then just land and take the Hunter. The Army appear to be sleeping at this
time.
Hunter:
Weapons:
In the PlayStation2 version, while in the Hunter, press R1
to fire the minigun mounted on the front or Circle to fire two
rockets from the wings.
Christopher Jensen.
Hunter:
Saving at hideout:
Acquire a property with a large garage, such as the Hyman
condo. Get the Hunter and take it to the Hyman Condo. Fly down from above
to the western-most garage. Make sure this garage is empty. There should
be enough space for you to fly down. Place it on the ground, positioning
it so that its winglets are exactly parallel to the garage doors and can
easily pass through it. If you find it difficult to place the Hunter in
this position because of the limited space, get out of it and push it to
this position. Push it up to the garage door, then place yourself behind a
winglet and push it into the garage. Push it all the way to the end until
it cannot go any further. Exit the garage and the Hunter will be inside.
To get it out, simply push it in the opposite direction and out of the
garage. Try experimenting with different garages to see how it works. If
the garage is big enough, it should fit nicely.
Infernus:
Mall appearance:
Destroy most of the cars in the multistory car garage at
Northpoint Mall. When you return, most of the cars will be replaced with
Infernuses.
Love
Fist Limo:
Start the Love Fist mission Psycho Killer in Downtown. Then,
drive it into one of your garages. The Sunshine Autos car showroom or
Hyman Condo are your best choices.
Maverick:
Steal a vehicle and drive it through the front doors of the
Vercetti Estate and a Maverick helicopter will appear on the helipad on
the roof.
Moonbeam:
Two wheel bonueses:
A good vehicle to get two-wheel bonuses in is the Moonbeam. Get
up to speed and start turning left, right, left, right, and so forth and
you will go up on two wheels. Then, you just need to balance, which just
requires some practice.
Oceanic:
Drive on two wheels:
Get in an Oceanic and reach top speed. Then, on a turn, hold Square
+ Left or Right. The Oceanic will get on two wheels. To get
back on all four wheels, just press in the opposite direction.
Patriot:
To get the Patriot from Grand Theft Auto 3, go to the
movie set located on the top middle island of your map You can either buy
the set or you can just get in a motorcycle and do a jump over the wall.
Go to Phil Cassidy's trailer
in Little Haiti. Enter and you will see a trailer. Look left to see a
building-like garage. A Patriot is parked inside.
Hijack a fire truck and do a
few firefighter missions. A Patriot will be one of the cars that are on
fire. If there are people in it, you must put them out or else the car
will explode.
To get this car at the very
beginning of the game, get any car. After the intermission sequence when
Tommy's friends get shot, go south to the Pay N' Spray. Then, go to the
gas station slightly north of it. Get the hog. Then, go north to the mall
and go through the shortcut that has a bribe in it. Take the bridge right
down until you reach the bottom. Next, go through all the ramps until you
get to the studio from the top ramp. Get the Patriot from the back of one
of the buildings. Because the gate is closed, ride the patriot to where
you will find a truck with a ramp. Take the truck to the main gate (with
the hole on the top). Put it straight, and then ride the Patriot onto the
ramp, charge up, and go straight to the truck. It will take the Patriot
through the hole and it will land outside of the studio.
PCJ
600:
Go to Vice Point and find the Standing Vice Point building near
the beach. Drive along the sides of the building across the street from
the makeshift ramp to find a PCJ 600.
Across from Greasy Choppers
Bike Club in Downtown, break the window in the bike shop to find a PCJ
600. If it is not there, drive down the road a short distance and return.
Drive to the docks where you
usually get the missions from Cortez. In between the two gates is a PCJ
600. Note: It may not be there always. If it does not appear, go down the
street and return later. It will be a different color each time.
After dying, you will return
to the hospital. Go behind the hospital and go through the bushes. You
will now be in a open area. Run diagonally and jump onto the road. Stay to
the right until you see a sidewalk leading to the harbor. Take the
sidewalk and stay to the right. You will soon see a PCJ 600. Note: The
color of the bike changes each time.
PCJ
600: Stunt bonuses:
Get a PCJ 600 and go down the road, but not too fast (slightly
over the speed limit). Then, pop a wheelie behind a car. If done
correctly, you will wheelie over the car, and sometimes get stunt bonuses.
In the PlayStation2 version,
go to the Malibu Club with a PCJ 600. When exiting out of the Malibu Club,
go right to the grassy area. Build up as much speed as possible and hit
the jump besides the bridge. When you hit it, press Down + Left.
If you hit a tree you will get a triple insane stunt bonus.
Drive a PCJ 600 directly at a
wall. Do a wheelie just before your hit. If you get the correct height in
your wheelie, you will do crazy trick up and off the wall.
PCJ
600: Ride on roof:
Drive a PCJ 600 to the Hyman condo. Drive it into the
staircase. You will now be able to drive the bike around or jump off the
edge. PCJ
600: Tire marks on wall:
In the PlayStation2 version, take a PCJ 600 to a wall, then
back up about 30 feet. Go as fast as you can and press Left

lightly press the Analog-stick Forward. Tommy will lean down and
you will go faster.
Phoenix:
You can always find a Phoenix at Starfish Island. Find the
house with the Comet. Go back to the main road with a motorcycle (or walk)
and take a right (on the sidewalk). Go down past the front yard fence to
the first house. Keep walking until u see a alleyway and turn into it. Go
to the end of the alley, then look to the right to find an opening to the
house's backyard (by a dumpster). Go in it and turn to the right. You will
see a garage. A Phoenix will be inside. After getting in the Phoenix,
drive it out of the garage and go left around the house. You will see a
ramp. Jump the car over the fence. Alternately, enable the "Car
floats on water" code.
Police
Boat:
Go to the Leaf Links golf club and go towards the second
island. Go over to where the land and the bridge meet on the left side.
You will see a Police Boat at the bottom in the water.
In the PlayStation2 version,
drive around until you see a boat with a green hull labeled
"POLICE". Kill the police office and hop in it. Press Circle
while in the boat to fire its machine gun.
Enable the "Car drives
on water" code. Drive around on the water until you find a Police
Boat. Crash the boat until you get to the shore. Jump on the boat and kill
the cop. Push the boat on the water and jump in. Note: The boats and cars
might catch on fire. Also, to get back in you may need to use your car.
Police
Car:
In the PlayStation2 version, to steal a police car, get close
to one that has the cop inside. Try to open the door by pressing Triangle.
The cop will try to arrest you and leave the car. When he closes the door,
try to open it and it will be unlocked.
In the PlayStation2 version,
hold X just before you try to open the door of a parked police car
and the door will open. Usually, parked police cars are locked. Note: X
must be pressed at the correct time or this will not work. Police

undercover Cheetah police car will eventually appear.
Police
Maverick:
Go to the police station in the Downtown area. Go around the
back ad go up the stairs to find a Police Maverick.
Go to the Downtown area
police department. You should see an alley. Go into the alley and you
should see stairs. Climb them and you should see a board that resembles a
ramp. Go up it and you will see a helicopter. Get in it and press the R
to go up or L to go down. Use the Right Analog-stick to
rotate and the Left Analog-stick to steer.
Police
Maverick: Easy kill:
It is easy to kill a police helicopter with a sniper rifle. Aim
at the cockpit windows and fire at six or more times.
When the Police Maverick
comes after you, get a short distance away from it. Take out a sniper
rifle and zoom in fully. Aim and fire at the rod between the top blades
and the helicopter. In one hit, it will explode.
Pony:
Black:
Do the Loose Ends phone mission. Kill everyone, but do not
finish the mission. Go get two Packers and drive them both as if you are
playing leapfrog or else they will disappear. Park one of them in front of
the gate that you came in. Drive the other Packer up its ramp so that it
goes over the gate. Next, position this Packer so that you can drive the
black Pony up the ramp and over the gate. Drive it to a garage and return.
If you are lucky, the Packer did not disappear and you can also get a
pitch black Admiral.
Pony:
Missing bumper:
Get a Pony and crash it to were the front bumper falls off.
Take it to a Pay 'N' Spray. After it has been painted, look at the front
bumper again. It will not be there, even after being repaired.
Rhino:
Instead of getting 90 hidden packages, go to Sunshine Autos and
cause mass destruction. Sniper and shoot from the top level until you get
six stars and a Rhino appears. Wait until the soldiers get out, then jump
out the window. Get in your new tank and park it in the garage. You can
now either save and reload, or drive as normal into the Pay 'N' Spray.
Find a sniper rifle and a
good vantage point. Kill people and destroy cars until that your wanted
level is all the way up. When the tanks appear, use the sniper rifle and
snipe the army from the front window. The will fall out of the doors. Run
for the tank and get in.
Purchase the Hymann Condo,
and keep the large garage empty. Do the "Sir, Yes Sir" mission
from Cortez. When the convoy stops for doughnuts, jump in the tank, and
turn around, heading for the Hymann Condo. Make sure you have full health
and armor. Plow through the police vehicles and drive the Rhino into the
garage. Jump out of the Rhino, and stand next to it. When the Rhino
explodes, get up and back out of the garage (while still facing the
garage). Let the garage close, then open it again. The Rhino will be
intact, and ready for use.
Rhino:
Flying:
In the PlayStation2 version, get a Rhino either through the
code or from Fort Baxter. Enable the "Dodo car" code and turn
the turret backwards. Note: Enable "Car floats on water"
code" in case you land in the water. Find a long main road, then
accelerate and press Circle at the same time. This will make the
tank get faster until you finally take off. Hold Left Analog-stick Down
to make the vehicle get higher. You can occasionally get on top of some
skyscrapers, depending on the height of the buildings.
In the PlayStation2 version,
to make a Rhino fly longer than usual, enable the "Car floats on
water" and "Dodo car" code. Go into the water, turn the
turret so it is facing backwards, then make the tank fly by holding Down
or Left Analog-stick Down. You can do this on land, but it is
easier on water as there is more space, After it is flying, keep pressing Circle.
This will make the Rhino fly high by giving it boosts of speed. You should
be able to get so high that you can land anywhere. You can also go higher
than a helicopter can. When you get high enough, you can stop pressing Circle
and it will fly without shooting. You can do a flip by shooting while
holding Down or Left Analog-stick Down.
Rhino:
Shoot out of water:
Drive a Rhino into the water, and before you drown, enable the
"Car floats on water" code. Your tank will immediately shoot out
of the water very high and land back on the water, good as new. Use this
when a boat is passing and to land on and destroy it.
Rhino:
Destroying them:
If you have Rhino Tanks trying to get you, throw Molotov
Cocktails at them. About five to ten cocktails will destroy the tank. Or,
if you rather risk dying, use the flamethrower instead. You can also kill
both driver and passenger in the tank.
Rhino:
Kill tank drivers with gun:
If you have a sniper rifle, take aim at the Rhino. Aim it just
directly below the turret, in front of the tank. You will see the head of
two soldiers inside. Snipe the one of the right, as that is the driver.
The one on the left will either exit (then shoot you) or take driver seat
and drive. You can use other various guns as well, if you have good aim
and timing.
Romero's
Hearse:
Do the Two Bit Hit mission for Avery Carrington. Get the Havana
costume and a helicopter. Land on the building opposite the pizza place in
Little Haiti. Look down and you should see two Romero Hearses. The one
next to the pizza place will almost always have a coffin in the back. Jump
down and take one to your garage. You can also come back for another
Romero Hearse and the black Voodoo. The car will not always be fixed when
you put it in your garage for the first time. Return after the mission and
take it out. When the garage door shuts, drive it back in. It should now
be fixed.
Rumpo:
Jumping:
The vehicle that can jump best with the "Better driving
skills" code enabled is the Rumpo. Enabling the "Faster game
play" code will not make it jump any higher.
Sabre
Turbo:
Complete the second list of cars at Sunshine Auto.
Sabre
Turbo: Damage proof:
This Sabre Turbo is bullet proof, explosion proof, and flame
proof. It can receive damage and blown off tires but cannot explode, even
if flipped over. In order to get it, you must first purchase the Malibu
Club and do the mission called The Driver. In this particular mission, you
will be racing Hilary the getaway driver. He will be the one driving the
BP Turbo Sabre. Do the mission and try to stick with Hilary throughout the
race. He does the race nearly perfect. When you get to the end make, sure
you have Hilary in your sights as you let him pass the finish line first.
Once you have done this, the "Mission Failed" message will
appear and Hilary will disappear in the Turbo. Enable the "Lower
wanted level" code. The Sabre will be locked. You will have to push
it with another car to the nearest Hideout. The El Swanko Casa or the
Links Leaf View apartment are recommended. Push the Sabre Turbo into your
garage and wait for it to close. After that, you have a new BP Sabre
Turbo.
It is possible to acquire
this vehicle in The Driver mission, although Hilary keeps his door locked
during the race making it unjackable. The race ends back at the Malibu
Club. Behind the Malibu Club is a little bridge. When the race begins, do
not race Hilary. Instead, head in the opposite direction to the bridge
south of the Malibu Club. Spawn three Rhino tanks across the bridge and
wait for Hilary to appear. He will try his best to push the tanks out of
the way. Quickly spawn a fourth Rhino and crush his vehicle. With
patience, use the Rhino to push the Sabre Turbo into the closest garage
(Vercetti Estates). When your garage door reopens, you will have a brand
new bullet and flame proof Turbo Sabre.
Note: After you acquire the
bulletproof Sabre Turbo, do not get it resprayed or it will lose its
bulletproof abilities.
Also, if the bulletproof
Sabre flips over, it will not explode but will no longer be be invincible
any more. There is another way to get it. When the race first starts, get
out of the car, take out the sniper rifle, and shoot him in the head when
he approaching the finish line.
Sanchez:
Black:
Go to the dirtbike track in the upper-right hand corner of the
Downtown area. Get on the dirtbike and wait for it to start the mission,
but do not go anywhere. After the mission starts, get off the bike. A
timer should appear at the bottom of the screen with the number of seconds
you have to get back on the dirtbike. Wait at the bike until the timer
gets to "1", then look around for a group of men who are riding
all black Sanchezs. Shoot one of them and take the bike. Note: After you
get off the dirtbike mission, do not run away. Stay in that area until
time runs out.
SandKing:
Complete the third list of cars at Sunshine Auto.
Sea
Plane: Faster:
Get the Sea Plane in the air and wait until it gets faster.
Then, start doing sharp turns and drops. This will get it to its maximum
speed.
Sea
Sparrow:
After unlocking the other side of Vice City and gain Diaz's
house from him in the Rub-Out mission, return to the island you first
started on. Go the pizza restaurant near the Leaf Links bridge. Go to the
apartment building near there that has one of the windows open. Go up to
the roof. There are two other flights of stairs in plain sight when you
look at the apartment -- this makes it easy to find the correct location.
Go to the north of the roof and jump off onto another roof. Finally, jump
off the roof into a yard. The Sea Sparrow helicopter is located next to
the trees. If it does not appear here, leave and return later. Note: This
helicopter can float.
To get the Sea Sparrow
without having to get the eighty packages, after completing the
InterGlobal Studio missions, go to the first building you went to on your
motorcycle from the G-spotlight mission. The Sea Sparrow will be on the
roof of that building.
Sea
Sparrow: Fire minigun:
In the PlayStation2 version, while in the Sea Sparrow, press R1
to shoot the minigun that is mounted to the bottom.
Securicar:
Gruppe Sechs:
Find a Securicar at the docks. Notice that it is marked
"Gruppe Sechs" on the back and sides. That is the phonetic
spelling of group sex.
Securicar:
Loot:
When you find a Securicar, knock the back doors off. Look at it
in first person view. Inside the back of the Securicar, you will see three
boxes marked "Loot".
Sentinel:
Black:
Do the Hit The Courier mission at the Print Works. Get a car
and wait at the end of the Starfish Island bridge. Watch in the direction
of the courier. You will see two red Sentinels coming at you. Blow them up
and afterwards the black Sentinel with the courier appears. Get a sniper
rifle or PSG-1 and keep shooting at the driver through the windshield. The
person will die and drop the plates. Pick them up and get in Sentinel.
Finish the mission and you will now have a pitch black Sentinel.
Sentinel
XS:
Near Escobar International Airport, you will see a sign that
reads "Long Term Parking". There is a sporty-looking Sentinel in
the parking lot there that is much faster and better looking than a normal
one.
Skimmer:
To get the seaplane, buy the InterGlobal Films studio on Prawn
Island for $60,000. After the purchase, complete Steve Scott's second
mission "Dildo Dodo". After you have completed the mission, the
Skimmer seaplane will be available to you at the dock on the west side of
the studio (the same dock where you got the plane for his mission).
Spand
Express:
To get the Spand Express, play the game until the Riot mission.
Enable the "Car drives on water" code. Make sure you have at
least $14,000. Before doing this mission, drive a car to the Docks and go
north. Buy the Hyman Condo. Set any car on fire, then go in it to commit
suicide. You should end up back on the other side. During the Riot
mission, you will have to destroy three Spand Express Cars. Destroy only
two, and drive the third across the ocean to the condo. Put it in the
garage. Close the garage and open it again. Use a gun to destroy the Spand
Express to pass the mission. Close the garage door again and the Spand
Express will be back. Commit suicide again to return to Vice City. If
desired, you can keep all of the Spand Expresses by driving each one to
the condo, then stealing a car and driving back to the other side to get
the others. Then, blow them all up at once in the large garage.
Spand
Express: Gold:
To get the gold Spand Express, play until the Jury Fury
mission. Enable the "Car drives on water" code. Make sure you
have at least $14,000. Before doing this mission, drive a car to the Docks
and go north. Buy the Hyman Condo. Set any car on fire, then go in it to
commit suicide. You should end up back on the other side. At some point
during the Jury Furymission, a gold Spand Express should ram one of the
jurors, dropping two hammers. Get the juror out of the car and take the
Spand Express. Drive it to the Hyman Condo and put it in the garage.
Commit suicide to return to Vice City.
Sparrow:
Go to the Pay 'N' Spray near the mall in Vice Point. Turn so
that you are facing south, away from the mall. Start driving up the road
at a slow speed while using your side view to look at the left side of the
street. Not too far down, you will see an archway. Drive into it and take
the right into the fence to find the Sparrow and the Checkpoint Challenge.
Sparrow:
Damage and waterproof:
Get the Sparrow helicopter during the G-Spotlight mission next
to the building, above the stairs. Take it to a Pay 'N' Spray fly into it
without crashing. The easiest one is at the Sunshine Autos paint shop, due
to its enormous width. Note: The Sparrow is the only helicopter that can
fit into a Pay 'N' Spray. After you paint it, the Sparrow will have
wheels. When you enable the "Floating Cars" code, it can now
float on the water like a Sea Sparrow. Additionally, without the downside
of those landing rods, it is safer to land on ground.
Squallo:
Buy the shipyard in Vice Port for $10,000. The boat will
respawn there and will be yours for the taking.
Stretch:
Gold:
During the Martha's Mug Shot mission, there will be a golden
Stretch awaiting Candy. All the doors are locked. Shoot the driver with a
sniper rifle in the head. When he is decapitated, he will fall out the
door. Do not get in. Turn around and shoot Candy before she gets in. After
the mission failed message appears, get into the Stretch and drive towards
one of your empty garages. Park it inside and wait for the door to shut.
When it opens, the Stretches door will not automatically close and lock
any more. Note: If you get out of The stretch before you get it into your
garage, you will not be able to enter it again, unless you push it into
your garage.
In the Martha's Mug Shot,
shoot the driver of the golden Stretch. He will fall out, leaving the door
open. Do not hurt Candy. Instead, let her get in with you. When it drives
away after it drops off Candy, the golden Stretch will stop, and you will
not be able to drive it. Get out, but do not allow the door to shut. Get
back in, and you can now drive it to a garage and continue with the
mission.
Taxi:
Free rides:
Complete the Kaufman Cabs missions to have Taxis drive you to
mission locations or objectives.
Christopher Jensen.
VCN
Maverick:
Go to the VCN building in the Downtown area. Go upstairs to
find a VCN Maverick.
Voodoo:
Hydraulics:
In the PlayStation2 version, to work the hydraulics in the
Voodoo, press R3.
In the PlayStation2 version,
when in the Voodoo, tap L3 to turn all four hydraulics on or off.
You can also move the Right Analog-stick from side to side to make
only your left or right hydraulics work.
Voodoo:
Black:
Do the Two Bit Hit mission for Avery Carrington. Get the Havana
costume and a helicopter. Land on the building opposite the pizza place in
Little Haiti. Look down, and you should see the pitch black Voodoo. Jump
down and take it to your garage. The car will not always be fixed when you
put it in your garage for the first time. Return after the mission and
take it out. When the garage door shuts, drive it back in. It should now
be fixed.
In the Two Bit Hit mission,
your objective is to grab a Haitian costume and eliminate the person
driving the hearse. Note that some of the Voodoos that are chasing you are
black. When they first spot you, grab a black Voodoo and high-tail it out
of there. Do no respray it. It will return to brown if this is done. When
the Cubans spot you, you can also take a sniper rifle or a bazooka and
shoot the designated target. Then, steal the black Voodoo and dash out of
there as fast as possible. Note: If you complete the mission and somehow
flip the car over, sink it, or destroy it, you can never regain the car.
If your garage door is open with the Voodoo in it when you save, all the
cars in that garage will be lost.
Zebra:
After completing kaufman cabs missions, the Zebra taxi will
appear in Kaufman Cab building, where the original cab was located.
Buy the Kaufman Cab business
and complete the first two missions. Make sure you have a garage to store
a car. On the third mission where you have to pick up Mercedes, go and
survive against the enemy taxis until the Boss appears. The Boss has a
black and yellow striped taxi. Catch it on fire so the driver jumps out.
Then, get out of your Kaufman Cab, jump in to the enemy taxi, and enable
the "Heath" code. Make sure you are away from the enemy taxi
driver so he does not pull you out of the car. If done in time, you will
have an extra Zebra taxi that seems to be faster and takes a lot more
damage than usual. Be careful to not blow it up, as it will not appear
again.
Zebra:
Duplicate:
After completing the Kaufman Cab missions, get the Zebra taxi
and put it in a garage that you own. Return to Kaufman Cabs and another
one will be there.
Boats:
Get early:
In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Cars float on
water" code. Drive into the water and the car will start floating.
Find a boat and drive on top of it. Press Triangle and you should
land on top of the boat. The person driving the boat will jump in the
water and you can steal the boat.
Cars:
Bailing out while driving:
In the PlayStation2 version, to jump out of a car while it is
moving, press Triangle + Square. Tommy will duck and roll
and will sustain much less damage than the car.
Cars:
Flipping back over:
In the PlayStation2 version, when the vehicle is rolling,
sometimes it gets onto its side then flips back onto its roof. To get your
car flipped back over when it is on its side, simply floor the gas and
turn the wheel in the direction the roof is facing. For example, if your
car is on its right side, press Left Analog-stick Right then press X.
In the PlayStation2 version,
if your car is on its side and seconds away from tipping over, press the Left
Analog-stick towards the direction the car is falling, and drive in
reverse. This should flip your car back onto four wheels. This is
extremely helpful with the Ambulance missions, as it is more top heavy
than normal vehicles.
Cars:
Front flip:
In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Better driving
skills" code. Drive fast then hold the handbrake and press L3
or R3. This only works on certain cars (Cheetah recommended). Try
jumping over the parked semis in the boat dock area with the Esperanto.
Also, the Esperonto is the highest jumping.
Cars:
360s:
In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Better driving
skills" code. Drive fast and making a sharp turn while pressing L3
or R3.
Cars:
Leave door open:
In the PlayStation2 version, exit a car while holding R1.
You will not close the door, which can be useful if you know that you are
going to need to get back in quickly.
Cars:
Drive inside buildings:
Find a building that has enough space in the door to drive a
car into. Slowly drive the car so its front end is partially in the
building. Get out of the car and stand behind its bumper. Hold X to
run and push the car into the building. The car will only go so far in.
Once you cannot move the car in any further, go inside the building. Once
inside turn around, and you will see the car. Press Triangle to get
in the car and drive it around.
Cars:
Drive with different handling:
In the PlayStation2 version, get in a vehicle (faster one
recommended). Press X + Square and the wheels should begin
spinning. Keep spinning the wheels and use the Left Analog-stick to
begin doing a doughnut. When the vehicle has done a 180 (when showing the
front, not the back) hold R2 + L2 to flip to view to the
normal, rear view of the car. You can now release X + Square,
but continue holding R2 + L2. You can drive the vehicle in
this position. Notice that it handles differently. This may be useful
during certain missions.
Cars:
Faster destruction:
Shoot a car in the back near the gas tank and it will light on
fire faster.
Cars:
Wheelie:
Enable the "Change wheel size" code about five times.
Find a car like the Bobcat, Baggage Carrier, Rancher, or any other car
that goes faster than normal. Then, enable the "Better driving
skills" code. When you hit the gas, you will pop a wheelie.
Enable the "Change wheel
size" code more than three times. Then, enable the "Perfect
handling" code and go to the runway at Escobar International Airport.
Find a Baggage Handler to pop wheelies. You can also do this trick with a
Rancher, Mesa, Landstalker, Caddy, or Patriot.
Cars:
Full flip:
This trick works best in a police or sports car. Enable the
"Better driving skills" code. Gain a lot of speed, then hold the
emergency brake and immediately press L3. Note: Precise timing is
required.
Helicopters:
Easy find:
Go to Hyman Condos and buy it. You will get a helicopter every
time you go upstairs.
Go to the Downtown district
(on the second island). Go to the Downtown police station and you will
find a cop car parked by the street. There will be an alley behind it. Go
down the alley and make a right turn. There will be a stairway there. Go
up the stairs to the helipad. There usually is a police helicopter sitting
there.
From Starfish Island, go
towards the Downtown area of Vice City (not to the police station). As you
enter Downtown, go past the man that stands by the motorcycles by The
Greasy Chopper and continue onwards. Go past the first light then look
towards the left. There will be a white staircase going up. Climb up to
the top and walk to the other side of the roof. Once at the end, there
should be a green helicopter there. Jump down, then go up the rusted
stairs to the helipad. If the helicopter is not there, leave and return
later.
Go towards where Colonel
Cortez' yacht is located in Ocean Beach. On the turn off the street to go
to Colonel, turn instead into the grassy area. There will be steps leading
up to a helicopter.
Helicopters:
Hovering:
In the PlayStation2 version, hold L3 while flying a
helicopter-class vehicle to hover. This can be used to immediately slow
down while flying fast.
Helicopters:
Drive by shootings:
In the PlayStation2 version, if you have an Uzi, Ingram, or
Tec-9, change your camera to the cinematic view while in a helicopter. You
will see Tommy stick his weapon out through the chopper's side window when
you hold L2 or R2 to rotate. Press Circle as usual to
fire. Note: You are still going to rotate while doing this and the
cinematic view is not the best in combat situations. It will take an
extreme amount of luck to hit anything when doing this, let alone kill
someone. Do not rely on this in a real fight.
It is possible to stay in one
spot and shoot out the window of a helicopter, without spinning around...
Press L3 in cinematic view, and hold either L2 or R2
and press Circle. Pressing L3 stops you from moving and
causes the helicopter to hover when you shoot. You will not spin around,
making your shots precise.
Motorcycles:
Wheelies:
In the PlayStation2 version, press Down(2) while riding
a motorcycle-class vehicle to pop a wheelie. Press Up(2) while
riding to stand.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get a PCJ 600. From a stop, press Down and press X. When the
motorcycle is in a wheelie, tap the X rapidly to keep the bike up.
This will allow you stay in the wheelie for as long as desired. This is
also a great way to make money.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get a moped. Hold R1 + Square + Up until the moped is
doing a stoppie. Hold all those buttons, then hold X. The moped
should remain doing a stoppie until you release X. Note: the moped
will slide on its wheel and it will turn. Try controlling it for big cash.
Get a Sanchez or PCJ 600 and
go a little faster than traffic. Get behind a slanted back car, such as a
Sabre, and pop a wheelie. Half of the time you can wheelie over the car
and get insane stunt bonuses.
In the PlayStation2 version,
hold Down/Left or Down/Right, and accelerate on a PCJ 600 or
similar bike to do 180 wheelies quickly.
In the PlayStation2 version,
hold Down + X and get to a wheelie level. When you are
comfortable with the height, hold X lightly to remain level and go
as far as desired. Note: Wheelies cannot be done if the "Flying car
(Dodo)" code is enabled.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get on a Sanchez and start a wheelie. When you are slightly more than
half-way up, release X. Tap X every once in awhile to keep
your speed up.
In the PlayStation2 version,
gain some speed then press Square + R1 while pressing Forward
on the Analog-stick or D-pad. This will make you slide on
your front tire (stoppie). This trick will gain you between $20 and on
average.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get a Sanchez. Go to a long straight away, like on the third island. Get
to about half the speed that the Sanchez can do. When you are at half the
speed, press Left Analog-stick Down while still accelerating. When
you are half way (or just slightly over) in the air (45 degree angle),
hold Square while still holding the Left Analog-stick and
accelerating. This may take a few attempts to get the correct height off
the ground. You will end up with a perfect wheelie and not have to keep
your balance by tapping back or letting off the gas.
Get a perfect condition
Sanchez and get up to about twice the legal speed limit. Pull a wheelie
and ride it until you almost fall off the bike. Let off the gas completely
and do not stop holding Down. Within about ten minutes of practice
you will be able to ride a manual on average of 13 to 30 seconds each .
This works best at the Escobar International Airport runway.
Motorcycles:
Stoppies:
Choose a dirt bike or sport bike and build up a little speed.
If you hit the regular and emergency brakes at the same time and stand up
(Left Analog-stick Up), you can do a stoppie and earn some money.
You can also get extra points for flipping around 180 degrees on the front
wheel.
In the PlayStation2 version,
for an easy stoppie, press R1 + Square + Up on any
motorcycle-class vehicle. Note: You can do wheelie and stoppie drive by
shootings.
In the PlayStation2 version,
to do a nose wheelie, get a bullet bike, go very fast, stand up, and hit
both brake buttons (Square + R1).
In the PlayStation2 version,
go as fast as you can, then hold R1 + Square + Up.
Release R1 when you are quite high. and you can slide for more
money. Note: Stoppies cannot be done if the "Flying car (Dodo)"
code is enabled.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get a Faggio (or the pizza boy scooter) and find a alley where there is
little activity. Accelerate to almost top speed then release the gas and
press Left Analog-stick Up + Square + R1. If desired,
press R2 or L2 to view how far you are from the ground. You
will flip over if you go too high. Do not hold the brakes, but release R1
+ Square and press X to accelerate. It may be difficult at
first. You will drive forward but with some practice you can do a stoppie
for 31 seconds or longer.
In the PlayStation2 version,
to do a long stoppie, press R2 then Analog-stick Up. This
will cause you to do a stoppie. To do a very long one, press R2
then Analog-stick Up and press X. You can do this for
a long time. In the PlayStation2 version,
to do a stoppie for a long time, hold Up, then hold R1 + Square.
Release Square and hold X. Then, just keep your balance.
Stand up on a PCG 600 or
Sanchez. As you ride, use your brakes and your motorcycle should be on the
front wheel.
In the PlayStation2 version,
while riding a Faggio at a fairly fast speed, press Square + R1
+ Up. You should go into a stoppie, and be able to ride it as long
as you keep yourself from hitting things.
In the PlayStation2 version,
get on a motorcycle (but not the Freeway or Angel). Once on, get some
speed and hold Up to stand up. Keep gaining speed, and hold R1
+ Square. It might take a few tries, but you will do a stoppie. If
you have too much speed, you might flip over and wreck.
In the PlayStation2 version,
gain some speed then press Square + R1 while pressing Forward
on the Analog-stick or D-pad. This will make you slide on
your front tire (stoppie). This trick will gain you between $20 and on
average.
Get on a bike (preferably a
PCJ 600 or Sanchez) and get up to speed (for example, down a hill). Hit
the brakes while pressing forward (Analog-stick Up) to initiate a
stoppie. This will earn $30 to $100 depending on the time and distance of
the stoppie.
When driving around on a
PCJ-600 you can pull off stoppies longer then five seconds. To do this,
reach a high speed on the bike then do a stoppie. As you go down to land
on two wheels, pull up on the Analog-stick to do a wheelie. Reach a
high speed while doing or trying to do a wheelie and hit another stoppie.
If you land it, the "Stoppie bonus" message will appear, with a
time from 4 seconds to over 1 minute). You can do this for as long as
desired.
Motorcycles:
Backflips:
In the PlayStation2 version, drive a Sanchez, or better yet, a
PCJ 600 to the car showroom. Go down the street to the south. Turn around
and drive fast down the sidewalk on your right. When you see the grass
hill on the left, turn sharply into it. Do not use the brake, emergency
brake, or let off the gas. When you hit it, you should be holding Down/Left.
You will do insane stunts such as 540 Backflips. Make sure not to land
backwards or you will fall off. Balance yourself with Up and Down
for a soft landing.
Get a motorcycle and slowly
drive up to a wall that is on a blacktop surface. Drive up so your front
wheel is touching the wall and gun it. You will do a back flip and not
fall off the bike. Sometimes you will even get money for the trick.
Motorcycles:
Quick turns:
In the PlayStation2 version, to do a quick 180 turn on a
motorcycle, while driving down the street press R1 + Square
+ Down. This will face you in the direction that you were coming
from. Note: Do not do this at fast speeds or you will crash your bike.
In the PlayStation2 version,
while going at a fairly fast speed on a PCJ 600, Freeway, or Angel, hold R1
+ Left analog-stick to make a quick 180 degree turn. Be careful --
if you are going too fast, you will fall off.
Motorcycles:
Go faster:
In the PlayStation2 version, you can make any bike go faster. A
very long straight section of road is required, as it is very difficult to
steer while going this fast. While driving, press the Left Analog-stick
slightly Up. Tommy will lean forward and you should hear the engine
rev faster, along with traffic and scenery passing by in a blur.
Motorcycles:
Abilities:
You can do wheelies and stoppies easier on different
motorcycles. For instance, the PCJ600 can pull wheelies better than any
other bike. The Faggio is good for Stoppies.
Motorcycles:
Easy passengers:
You can get a passenger on the back of your motorcycle-class
vehicles easily. Find one with two people on it. Knock both people off,
and make sure the passenger gets to the motorcycle before the driver does.
Try punching the driver a few times. Do not shoot or the passenger will
run away. Once the passenger gets on, just hop on and ride away. In the PlayStation2 version,
knock the driver off of the motorcycle, but do not kill him. As he begins
to get back on the bike, press Triangle to hop on. You will both be
on the bike and you can now ride around with a passenger.
To get a passenger with you
on any type of motorcycle, look for one with two people on it. Carefully
shoot the driver of the motorcycle. Quickly get on the motorcycle and
drive away. If you completely stop at any time, the passenger will get off
the motorcycle.
Motorcycles:
Steal with leap kick:
Approaching the front of the bike when stealing it. Tommy will
leap kick the person off and land right on the bike. He will also do the
same kind of leap onto it, without the kick when doing this to an
unattended bike.
Motorcycles:
Easy stealing:
In the PlayStation2 version, this trick requires a gun that can
be aimed. When you get close enough to a motorcycle or dirtbike, stop it
with a car or another vehicle then press Triangle to get on. Or,
you can aim one of your guns at the bike and kill the driver.
Motorcycles:
Bailing:
In the PlayStation2 version, when in a motorcycle-class
vehicle, you can bail while jumping off a ramp by pressing Triangle.
This is helpful if you are driving a damaged motorcycle and somehow it
sets on fire in the air. This can also used to bail from any out of
control vehicle before it lands in water or crashes. This is useful if you
know you cannot stop in time. Note: You may take damage from the bail.
If you are on a
motorcycle-class vehicle with a passenger, you will not be able to bail
while moving.
Motorcycles:
Ride inside buildings:
In the PlayStation2 version, find a building that has enough
space in the door for a motorcycle to fit into. Almost all buildings will
qualify. Gather a lot of speed, aiming at the door, and press Triangle
to jump off the motorcycle when you are almost directly in front of it. If
done correctly, the motorcycle will go into the building. Go inside the
building to get to the motorcycle.
Motorcycles:
Radio station changes after crash:
If you are changing the radio station when you fall off, then
get back on the motorcycle, the game will change the channel back to what
you were listening to earlier.
Donuts:
In the PlayStation2 version, stop completely, then press Square
+ X at the same time and turn left or right to do a donut in car or
motorcycle.
Use the following trick to do
easy donuts with any bike (Freeway or Angel recommended). Find a bike and
knock off the rider. Then, use a sniper rifle and shoot out the back tire.
If you have a Freeway or an Angel, you can only shoot the back tire. After
you have flattened the tire, ride it then make a sharp turn to your left
or right. You will do a big donut and might bail.
Burn
outs:
In the PlayStation2 version, hold Square + X in
any vehicle, then release Square. In the PlayStation2 version,
get a rear wheel drive car or a motorcycle. This will not work with front
wheel drive cars such as the Blista Compact. Hold R1 then hold Square
+ X, while still holding R1. You will hear the engine rev.
Release R1 and the tires will start smoking.
Go
for a tour:
In the PlayStation2 version, get any civilian vehicle (no cop
cars or taxis). Knock the passenger side door off the car using a
club-class weapon or by scraping it along a wall. Drive around until you
find a carjacker (usually white men in brown leather jackets). Make sure
the carjacker approaches the car from the passenger side. When he starts
to get in, drive away. The carjacker will have control of the car, but you
will still be riding along. Sit back and enjoy your free tour of vice
City. You will not be able to shoot or control the car in any way. You can
look around by using L2 and R2. To end your tour, hold Triangle.
If the carjacker does something to upset the police, they will bust you as
if you were driving. Also, if the car blows up, you will not die (unless
you have low health to begin with) and you will be trapped inside the car.
You will need to enable the "Suicide" code or reload a saved
game to continue.
Find any car that has a cargo
bed (for example, trucks) and stop it in front of you. Jump on the hood of
the car then run to the back of the car. Pull out a weapon and crouch down
in it. Shoot the back of the driver's compartment without hitting the
civilian and the car should speed off. The car should not stop speeding
until you get out of the back. Note: Not all cars will speed off when you
shoot them.
Rig
a car with a bomb:
Go to the south of Little Havana. In this area are a series of
garages, in the place where you fought the Zebra cab in the Kaufman Cabs
asset mission. Go by the water and look at the garages. One of them will
be open and have a picture of a bomb painted like an 8-Ball. Drive your
car inside and let the garage close. Wait a few seconds and it will open.
A message will appear, stating that you can just use the detonator to blow
up the car. Get out of the car and the detonator will be selected as your
weapon.
This can also be used to get
revenge on car thieves. Get a nice car that a thief on the street would
try to steal. Then, put a bomb in it and press Circle to arm the
bomb. Find a thief on the street, and make sure he walks towards the car
to steal it. Get out of the car, shut the car door, then quickly run to a
safe place and watch the car explode with the thief inside.
Load
a car on top of another:
You need to have a moving Rancher in front of you to do this
trick. You also need an Infernus. Drive behind a Rancher at the same
speed. Using the front of the Infernus like a wedge, it is easy to lift
the Rancher onto the hood. Once its back wheels are on the hood, hammer on
the accelerator to full throttle. This will lift the Rancher straight up
onto your roof. If you go fast enough, the car will go over you. This is
useful if you are on a mission and the cops are on your tail, or you are
running out of time where there is a lot of traffic.
Blow
out tires:
You can shoot the tires of any vehicle to blow them out.
Fix
flat tires:
When you have a flat, enable the "Health" code to
fill up the tire again. Note: This will not work when on a motorcycle.
Better
braking and turns:
In the PlayStation2 version, hold R1 for better turns
and braking.
Easier
street races:
There are two things that are extremely helpful when street
racing. First, you do not have to park in the pink area. Hitting a
competitor will start the race automatically. To get an advantage, get
some speed in the direction of the first checkpoint, then just barely nick
the lead car as you fly by. They will all be left in your dust, and
probably will not catch up. Secondly, especially for the final race, you
may want to block them off with a giant vehicle, like a Coach or Packer.
When coupled with the first trick, you just may win.
The easiest way to win a
street race is to enable the "Destroy all cars" code while in
the race. Make sure to get of your car before performing the code, then
get another car and drive through all the checkpoints. Another way is to
shoot the cars at the very start of the race. When you do the street races
for Sunshine Autos, get the rocket launcher in the pool behind the Hooker
Inn Hotel and get to the starting grid. Do not enter the pink circle that
starts the race. Instead, go in front of the cars and shoot between the
front two cars with the rocket launcher. They will explode. The back car
will get away. Shoot it before it passes you, then get in your car and
race by yourself. You will win every time.
When doing the street races
for Sunshine Autos, go behind the big orange building at the yellow
striped intersection on the way to the airport and get the rocket
launcher. Go to the starting point and line your car up just behind the
pink circle. Take out the car in the upper-right (number two) position.
Hopefully the blast will take out the other two cars. Either way, you will
make the odds a lot better. Alternately, if you do not feel like shedding
blood, you can just clip the upper right car going at top speed to get the
race started.
Start the race, run away from
any cars, and enable the "Destroy all cars" code. Then, complete
the race at your leisure. Note: This only works in races where the other
people do not have to stay alive.
When doing the Sunshine Auto
races, go to the start of each race. Instead of stopping in the circle,
ram the back of the car in front of your start circle. This will allow you
to be moving at the start. For a more interesting way of winning the
races, get close to the start grid. Get out of your car, get off the road,
and enable the "Rhino tank" code. Get in the tank, and pull it
into the start circle. When the race begins, shoot the rival cars with the
tank cannon. Shoot about three times and they will all explode. The pink
arrows will still be above them. Then get out, get back in your car, and
drive through the checkpoints at your leisure. You must allow the race to
be counted down to the start for this to work.
When doing the races for
Sunshine Autos, instead of going directly to the marker, turn your car
around and back up into the first and second place cars. Doing this
triggers the race and allows you to have an earlier start in the lead.
Enable the "Dodo car
(flying)" code before you begin the race. When the race starts, your
opponents will begin flying and lose control. Note: You should drive only
slightly faster than the pedestrian cars.
Go to Sunshine Autos and
enter the races by the garage. Get the street bike then enable the
"Dodo car (flying)" code. Motorcycles will not be effected by
the code. Your opponents will lift off the ground when they are driving
fast, and you will not.
Park well away from the other
three cars and throw a grenade in the middle of them. As soon as you have
thrown the grenade, get in your car because the race will begin when it
explodes. If done correctly, it will be possible to blow up two, or even
all three cars. Note: It is best to start from behind the other cars when
doing this. The cars will not explode immediately, but will speed away
while on fire. If you are in front of them, they might explode and cause
you damage.
Steal a fast car (Cheetah
recommended; it is fast and handles well) and enter any of the street
races. Stop your car a short distance behind the other three competitors
(do not go into the pink marker). Throw a grenade into the middle of the
three cars and immediately climb into your car. When the grenade
detonates, the race will start but. If done correctly, one or more of the
cars will explode. Note: It is always best to stop behind the waiting
cars. If you park in front the cars will be set on fire, speed towards
you, and may destroy your car when they explode. This trick can also be
done with the rocket launcher.
After geting all the cars for
the Sunshine Autos showroom and you start racing, first choose race 6.
Then, get a Sabre Turbo and go out to the starting line. When you start,
throughout the race do not go too fast or slow; just drive normally. Try
not to cut the first corner off, or you will flip and your car will
usually explode. Let the other cars go ahead of you; they are going so
fast that they will crash many times and you can eventually just pass
them. On the long straight areas are where you can pick up speed to full
power. You should now be in first place after you get through downtown.
Finish the race and you will get $40,000. Note: Do not use the Deluxo. It
may be the fastest car but it has no handling. The Sabre Turbo is best for
all races because it is fast and has handling.
Buy Sunshine Autos and
complete all four lists. Once you do this, start a race from downstairs
and take the Hotring Racer. You will be able to pass the Infernus,
Cheetah, and Banshee by just driving where they cannot ram the side of
your car.
Keep
black or pink cars:
Enable the "Black traffic" or "Pink
traffic" code. Park any car that you want to remain in that color and
save the game. When you reload, you will have that color car. This does
not seem to work on certain mission cars, such as the taxis. If you
already have a car in your garage and wish to make it black, enable the
code, drive into a Pay 'N' Spray and do the same as the above.
Various
car appearance determination:
Cars that appear are in the same car class as the car that you
are driving. For example, if you drive a sports car, expect to see sports
cars everywhere.
Better
off-road capabilities:
Enable the ''Change wheel size'' code a few times and get a car
(Phoenix, Banshee, etc.). The wheels will appear to be bigger and you will
have better off-road capabilities and you can run over cars better then
usual. Your car will raise off the ground and Tommy will have to do a
small jump to get in.
Meat
cargo:
Go to Vice Port. There will be a red van driving around, with
R, S, and L Bols on the side. Take it and reverse into something so the
back door falls off. Look inside to see dead meat (cows) hanging from the
roof.

Media
coverage:
Get your wanted level to six stars to get your pursuit covered
in the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear. Keep running from
the helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game time will result
in an increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and look at your
statistics to see messages that indicate at your media level. You will
start with a story in UFA Today and progress to television news and
continue until it is a crisis.
If you have a bazooka
(recommended), rocket launcher, moltov cocktail, flame thrower, or
anything that causes total mass chaos with a decent amount of ammunition,
back up to a wall. Try finding a wall that no one can see you from the
left or right. Start launching or burning any cops or pedestrians that you
see. The higher the stars, the more media attention .Note: If you get
busted or die, you will not get any of the media points. At one star, keep
shooting or burning any pedestrians or cops. At two stars, start launching
or burning any police cars and "on foot" officers that approach
you. At three stars start launching or burning the cops on foot, the
police cars , and the Banshees, Cheetahs, Infernos and any other fast
undercover police cars. At four stars, start launching or burning police
cars, on foot cops, undercover cars, and any S.W.A.T. helicopters (before
the S.W.A.T. members lower themselves from ropes). At five stars, launch
or burn anything that moves. At six stars, enable the "Lower wanted
level" code.

Alternate
character in FMV sequences:
Enable one of the various character costume codes (not the
"Pedestrian costume" code) three or more times before starting a
mission. During the FMV sequences, the character you selected will replace
Tommy. Note: This works best with Candy Suxxx.
Easy
weapons:
Free weapons are hidden all over the city. The flamethrower and
rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons. They can be found
near the boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a few game
hours. Collect all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout. The
game will advance six hours and all your hidden weapons will have
respawned. Do this three to five times, and all your company assets will
be close to full, and you can make the rounds to get paid.
In missions where you get a
new weapon, fail it intentionally after getting the weapon. You will be
able to get it over and over again by repeating this step.
Cheaper
weapons:
Use the following trick to get expensive weapons for cheap
prices. Go to the first Ammu-Nation in Ocean Beach (with the cheapest
prices for weapons) and buy all the machine gun and shotgun ammunition
desired. Afterwards, go to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and buy the weapons
in the same category (the machine gun and shotgun). Only purchase the guns
one time each. When you do that, all the ammunition you have with your
cheap shotgun and machine gun should be converted to the newer and most
expensive guns. This is very helpful in the beginning when your income is
not too high. However, this trick does not work with all the weapons.
Recommended
scope weapon:
The PSG-I is not as good as the standard sniper rifle. The
scope on the rifle is solid, and the dot never gets larger or smaller,
unlike the laser dot of the PSG-I.
Extra
ammunition:
If you do a rampage, the type of weapon for it will be taken
from you. However, the weapon that you had prior to starting the rampage
will double in ammunition. For example, if you do a shotgun rampage and
have an Uzi equipped, you will lose all your shotgun ammunition, but have
double the Uzi ammo. Note: You do not have to pass the rampage to get the
ammunition.
Unlimited
ammunition:
Go to any Ammu-Nation store and choose a gun. Keep buying it
until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next time you buy it, the
ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you will have an
unlimited amount.
Use the following trick to
get unlimited ammunition on the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a
submachine gun-class weapon for $300, then buy (or find) the MP5, which is
$3000. It uses the same ammunition, and you will save a couple thousand
dollars.
After you finish the last
story line mission, the mobsters who are outside of your house carry Uzis.
Kill a lot of them and you should have unlimited ammunition for that
weapon. Then, but or find the MP5.
If you have a weapon that you
want to get unlimited ammunition for, do a rampage. There is a perfect
rampage located at the Oakdale Toilet, just a few blocks from the hotel
with your hideout. For example, if you have a rocket launcher with 4
rockets and you want to give it unlimited ammunition, switch to the rocket
launcher and walk into the skull icon for the rampage. For two minutes,
just allow the game to idle. When the rampage ends, whatever weapon you
were given for the rampage (for example, at Oakdale Toilet it is a
chainsaw) is removed from your arsenal. However, whatever weapon you had
in hand (such as the rocket launcher) when you walked into the rampage has
its ammunition doubled. To double your ammunition again, just walk into
the rampage skull after it regenerates. Or, just stand where the skull was
and you will do one rampage after another as the skull regenerates. The
rampage at Oakdale Toilet is recommended because you will lose the
chainsaw. However, that weapon can be easily replaced with a baseball bat
(behind the your hotel) or another chainsaw (from one of the early
missions for Cortez). This strategy also allows you to mix weapons from
different tiers so that, for example, you can have the tier three weapons
with a rocket launcher instead. Save your game once you have the weapons
you want with unlimited ammunition.
Quick
reloads:
Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get a
score of 45 points.
When using a gun, instead of
using up an entire clip and waiting for Tommy to reload, quickly switch
out your weapon and then switch back to it, It will be fully loaded
without having to wait through the normal reload animation.
Shoot
faster:
You can shoot people faster by pressing Circle(2). Note:
This does not work with all weapons, and you may also need to aim first.
Alternate
Ruger, M4, or M60 aiming:
In the PlayStation2 version, to aim with the Ruger, M4, or M60,
like the shotguns or pistols, set yourself on fire with a Molotov cocktail
and press R1.
Shoot
down police helicopters with one sniper shot:
Use the sniper rifle and aim at the joint between the rotors
and the helicopter to take it down with one shot.
Stop
police helicopters from shooting you:
Get a wanted level of 3 or higher. When the police helicopter
appears, shoot it directly where the bullets are coming from. It will not
shoot you because your bullets are blocking them. This may not work all
the time. The best guns to do this with are the Ruger, Colt M4, M60, or
any other gun that has first person view aim.
Taking
out police boats:
In the PlayStation2 version, if you are in a boat in the ocean
and the police are chasing you, press Triangle and you will not be
driving it anymore. The police will stop chasing you and it seems that
they do not even notice you are still on the boat. Take out the rocket
launcher and blow up the police boats. Start driving again and repeat as
needed. You can also hop onto the police boat if it is close to you.
However, you must quickly shoot the cop, because he will attack you.
Use
police spike strips:
To use police spike strips to your advantage, get three or four
stars on your wanted meter. Find an officer on foot that can lay down the
spike strip. Try to dodge the spike strip and lure the pursuing officers
to pop their tires on it, giving you a chance of escaping.
Escape
from police:
If you are being chased by the police and are near streets with
alleys, drive near the alleys. Jump out the car at the correct moment and
fall into the alley. The police will drive past, giving you some time to
run. You can also get out of a heavy car and leave it to block an alley.
This is useful if you have a high wanted level.
Find a shore and wade into
the water just short of drowning point. Crouch and the cops will not fire
at you, but the police chopper will find you.
Run
over target without police attention:
Get a car (not a bike) then drive to the person you want to
kill slowly. Drive over him slowly, then get out and look at the bottom of
your car. They will now die while you are out of your car. Get back into
our car, then back up or move forward to get their money. Note: This can
also be done to cops.
Police
hostage:
Raise your wanted level and wait for a police car with two cops
inside. Wait until they are away from the car. Then, one will get in the
passenger's side. Run to the drivers side and start driving. The cop will
now be yelling at you.
Increase
your accuracy rating:
Once you kill someone, take out an M4 and crouch down. Use the
manual aim to shoot the body. After a few rounds, your accuracy rate will
start to increase little by little. Note: You can also raise your
"Head Shots" stat by shooting them in the head.
Go to the boatyard were
Colonel Cortez is located. Go back behind the gates with a helicopter.
There should be a very big boat; the one that you were on for the
"The Party" mission. Land beside it, in the southwest corner of
the map. Take a gun and continue to fire at it. You will notice that your
accuracy will go up. When you save after this, your criminal rating will
have also risen.
Minimize
health damage:
When doing a mission that requires chasing down your target
from a building or enclosed location containing no fast vehicles (for
example, Four Iron) or a mission that requires you to escape from similar
areas (for example, Mall Shootout), travel on a motorcycle. Not only will
this provide an efficient edge on your mission, but it will also minimize
damage to your health.
Pickup
truck drive by:
Jump on the back of a pickup truck with an Uzi or another gun.
Snipe everyone as you drive by. Be careful when firing -- if a cop hits
the truck it will probably speed off, knocking you off.
Ride
on hoods:
An easy way to snipe the police and people on the sidewalk is
to jump on the hood of a car when it is stopped at a red light. When the
car starts driving, you will stay on the hood. When the police chase you,
they will hit the car that you are on, making the driver mad and forcing
him to drive faster. If they do not drive faster, it will still be
difficult for the police to knock you off. Do not stand at the very top of
the car, as you tend to slide off the back. Get on the very front, in
front of the windshield.
Destroy
the Dodo:
You can blow up the Dodo plane flying overhead (pulling the
banner) by using the rockets on the Hunter.
Shoot
seagulls:
Go to a location with a lot of seagulls, such as the lighthouse
at Washington Beach. Use a sniper rifle to zoom in close and shoot a
seagull. Their small and fast, so it is a challenge to hit them. When you
do, they will explode in a burst of feathers, similar to when you shoot
boxes. Note: The game keeps track of how many seagulls you have sniped on
the "Stats" screen.
Increase
walking total by doing nothing:
Get in front of a truck, preferably a Bobcat. Make sure it
stops. Jump over the front and stand in the bed of the truck. The driver
will start to drive again. Even though you are just standing in the truck,
your walking distance total will increase.
Steal
a police boat:
Take a boat and ramp it so that when it lands it will be upside
down. Quickly get out so you will be standing on the hull. Take out a
rocket launcher and shoot any boats that are in range. After awhile,
police boats will come after you. Take a manually targeting gun and shoot
the officer though the glass. If done correctly, you should be able to get
the police boat and have the police after you. Note: This is difficult to
accomplish.
Mini-riot:
Enable the "Tommy groupies" code and run around to
get a lot of women chasing you. When you have quite a few, punch a couple
of them and they should all start fighting. This will happen most, but not
all of the time. Some of the women drop a lot of money when they die.
Scare
passenger:
In the PlayStation2 version, this trick works very well at a
red light. Find a car or truck that has a passenger as well as a driver.
Run up to the car or truck's driver-side door and press Triangle to
open it. As soon as Tommy starts to get in, press X to accelerate.
If done correctly, the passenger will still be in riding along, screaming
and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.
Easy
money:
Occasionally as you wander around the city, you will encounter
a cop fighting with a gang member (especially in Northpoint Mall). If you
step in and hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good Citizen's
Bonus when the gang member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can
continue to kick him and receive the bonus two or three more times (until
the body disappears). This is an easy way to get some quick cash, and do
some fighting in the process.
Knock over the parking meters
on the sides of the streets to get money. They give just as much (if not
more) money then a person or a clerk from a store.
Enable the "Tommy
groupies" code. Run around until you have a large group of women
following. Lead them to the nearest alleyway or garage and just beat them
all to death. Using weapons calls too much attention from cops and
paramedics.
Enter any store and point a
handgun at the clerk until he gives you money. Hold the gun for a few
seconds until he stops giving you money, then run away and hide or enable
the "Lower wanted level" code. Note: Do not do this in an
Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.
In the PlayStation2 version,
enable the "Rhino" code and press L3 to start the
vigilante missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more money.
After a while, you will have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on
you after a kill, enable the "Lower Wanted Level" code.
Go to a hideout that
generates money. Get the money and save the game. The game time will
advance three hours and more money should be available. Repeat this as
much as needed. Note: This does not always work.
Buy Sunshine Autos for
$50,000 to unlock the Vice City racer missions. Go down to the pink
circle, then choose the Vice City Endurance Race. Note: You must have
$10,000 for the entrance fee. Enable the "Weapons (tier 2)" code
and drive a car in front of the racers. Select the rocket launcher and
very carefully (and at a good distance) blow the cars up. You can then win
the race with a vehicle as slow as the Faggio for the $40,000 prize.
After buying Sunshine Autos,
enable the "Dodo (flying) car) code and go to the Vice City Endurance
Race. Race it, and you will win the $40,000 prize.
Start the fire fighter
missions and get at least 100 fires to make about $30,000.
Drive down the road in front
of the Ocean View hotel south. Turn right at the first street after the
hotel. Make another immediate right on to the street behind the one your
hotel is on. Turn left immediately after that to enter a parking garage.
Go to the top of the parking garage. When you get to the top, turn right
to find a Stallion just before the wall. Enter the Stallion to start the
Cone Crazy mini-game. Basically, every time you beat the best time, the
prize money doubles. To use this to your advantage, beat it with 1 second
remaining, then beat it with 2 seconds remaining, then 3, 4, etc., with
each attempt just slightly beating the previous best time. By the time you
beat it about 23 times, you will have reached the most amount of money you
can have. Save the game after every attempt so that way you do not miss an
opportunity to double you money if a mistake is made. Also, in order to do
it over again you have to go all the way back down to the street and come
back up and enter the Stallion again. Note: If you have $999,999,999 and
you do it again, the game will actually lower your money and your criminal
ranking.
Instead for shooting a
regular pedestrian, try shooting taxi drivers to get more money. Note:
This does not work all of the time.
The quickest way to make
money is to pick up a prostitute and take her to the beach. Beat her up
and you can take double the money. You can get up to $500 by doing this.
After you have bought a
property and have completed the missions to earn money from it, enable the
"Faster game play" code. Go about one block away and wait for
about four to six hours of game time. Go back to the property and the
amount earned should be fairly high.
Get a rocket launcher and a
three star wanted level. Shoot down the police helicopters that fly
overhead. When they crash and explode, you will get about $300. You can do
this to any of the police helicopters that fly overhead during a chase.
If you get into a taxi,
sometimes you will get cash that the taxi driver has made.
Enable the "Pedestrians
riot" code. Let the pedestrians kill each other, then collect all
their money. Note: Make sure they do not kill you.
Complete the first Cuban
mission with wearing Cuban gang clothes and you will get a $100 bonus.
Use the following trick to
raise your Criminal Rating while getting lots of money. Buy Sunshine
Autos; there is a Pay N' Spray there that will be needed. Get any car and
put it in one of the garages, preferably the one directly across from the
Pay N' Spray. Get a Rhino and do the Vigilante missions at the airport.
When your wanted level gets up to the point where the police chase after
you, drive the Rhino to Sunshine Autos. Drive the tank down to where the
garages are, but not all the way. Get out, and it will block the alley
from cops that are chasing you. They will explode when they hit the tank.
Get in the car that you stashed in the garage and drive into the Pay N'
Spray. Your wanted level will disappear and your criminal rating will
increase. This is also a good way to get lots of money, as most of the
cars spawned during the Vigilante missions will be there at the airport.
It is possible to get up to level 135 on the Vigilante missions and over
$17,000,000.
Have a 9mm pistol or the
first machine pistol. Lock on a store owner inside and wait for him to
give you money. when he has done this, slowly walk away outside while
still locked on to him. When you are outside on the pavement, disengage
your lock and the man will not sound the alarm. Repeat this as many times
as desired.
Easy
health:
While in a mall, buy something to eat at the food court.
If you are low on health, go
to one of your hideouts. Go to the save icon. You do not have to save the
game. Select "Cancel". When you get back to the normal game
screen, your health will be at 100.
Kill a few people, and an
ambulance will arrive to treat the wounded. Steal it for a 20 point health
increase.
Easy
kills:
In the PlayStation2 version, use the following trick to kill
without being caught. Use a motorcycle (recommended because you will not
get hurt) or other vehicle and drive very fast towards a group of people.
Then, press Triangle to bail. The vehicle should run over or hit a
lot of people. You can then collect their weapons and cash.
Enable the
"Weapons" code, ad get a large number of remote detonated
grenades. Throw one into the middle of the street and wait for a car to
drive over it. When it does, detonate the grenade and the car will do a
flip or something else while exploding in flames. You can do this while at
a mall or another area where there are big groups of people. Throw grenade
into the middle of the group, then get to a safe distance and detonate
them.
