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. Do not try to kill Denise, because you will never be able to
date her again or play in two player mode at her house. Additionally, 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.
Two player mode in Los Santos
Note: You must have a second controller inserted in port two. In
the Ganton area, start from Grove Street where the Johnson house is located.
Drive under the first bridge and continue to go straight. Next, youshould
drive over some railroad tracks. After this, you should drive under a second
bridge. Take the first right turn you see. It should be a dead end. Drive
until your car hits the grass, then look to your left. You should see an
open doorway. Walk through it and you should see a small "2 Player" icon.
Press any button on controller two to begin.
Two player mode in San Fierro
Not far from the garage you own and beyond the construction area is a
large building with a parking lot on either side, on the right side (north
according to the map) is a two player icon. Multiple people types can be

the dating missions, this two player location will never go away.

you can steal a train. If you press R3 while on the train, a freight train
mission will start. You must drive to a train stop and deliver the freight.
Be careful not to go too fast or you will derail. The easiest way to avoid
derailment is go as fast as you can. However, if your controller starts to
vibrate, release X.

the city, which is very small. The farthest person will only be about ten
seconds away from the drop off point. You can complete the missions in less
then ten minutes by doing this. Also, the cops do not appear very often,
allowing your wanted level to remain low.
Pimping missions bonus
Steal the pimp convertible in the car wash parking lot near the Pay N'
Spray and press R3. Successfully complete level 10 of the pimping missions
to get money from prostitutes instead of paying them.

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.
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.
Increase driving skill
Go to San Fierro and pass the tests at the driving school.
Increase underwater skill
Repeatedly swim underwater to increase your lung capacity and your
underwater skill.
Easily max Lung Capacity
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.
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.
Infinite running boost
Enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. When you have the 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.
Revealing territories
Get a plane and fly all the way to either the southeast, southwest,
northeast, or northwest of the map where the ocean is found. Keep flying for
thirty minutes in that direction, then jump out of the plane. Do not open
the parachute and intentionally drown. When you arrive at the hospital,
check your map. You will see that there are enormous amounts of new
territories in San Fierro, Las Venturas, and some in Las Santos. You can
take over these territories, and they only have one wave.
Quick map fill in Los Santos
To get all of the map showing in the starting area of the game, get on
the freeway and continue going until you cannot go further. Then, pause the
game and the entire bottom right half of the map should be marked as
explored.
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. Additionally,
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:
Running Respect (see below): 40%
Mission Progress: 36%
Territory Under Control: 6%
Money: 6%
Fitness: 4%
Clothes: 4%
Girlfriend Progress: 4%
Your Running Respect is changed by the following factors:
Territory gained: +30%
Killing a gang member: +.5%
Killing a dealer: +.005%
Killing a member of your gang: -.005%
A member of your gang is killed: -2%
Territory lost: -3%
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 PlayStation 2 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.
Easy money in Los Santos
From the Johnson house in the Ganton area, go straight until you are in
the front yard of the house opposite of yours. Turn right, and go behind it
by going between that house and the one next to it. Go in the backyard until
you are in the corner. You should see a pistol. Take it, then get back to
Grove Street. If you see man, usually in black, that is standing there with
his arms crossed, shoot him. He usually carries about $2,000 or more and a
pistol, because he is a drug dealer. Repeat this to get easy money. Kill him
quickly before he shoots you. It is possible to get $50,000 in one day by
doing this.
Upon exiting the Johnson house in Grove Street, walk straight toward the
house opposite of yours, which is the one that sometimes has the BMX bike in
the front yard, until you are in the grass. Go to your right between that
house and the one next to it. Walk toward the corner and get the pistol. Go
back to Grove Street and find a drug dealer. He is dressed in black with his
hands crossed down at his hips. You will know he is a drug dealer because if
you face him, he will try to do business. You will get a pop-up display in
the top-right part of your screen on how to respond to him, even though you
cannot actually buy anything. If you shoot and kill him, he drops $2,000
dollars or more, and a gun just like that one you picked up. Note: He will
shoot back -- try to get a headshot. There is another drug dealer that is
wearing a white hooded sweatshirt that does the same thing. He can usually
be found up in the northeast part of Los Santos. You can find these dealers
all over Los Santos in the areas littered with gangs.
Go to the building with the parachute. When you get to the top, spawn a
Caddy. Get in and drive slowly towards the edge of the building, then just
fall off. You will begin to flip slowly. However, if you nudge the edge of
the building, the Caddy will spin and flip like crazy. When you hit the
ground, you will get a very large insane stunt bonus.
Find the Inside Track Betting building in the Downtown area. Bet the
maximum amount on the horse with the worst odds. If you lose, reload the
game and try again. When you win, it will be a substantial amount.
Go to the Pig Pen Strip Club. You can jump on the big stage with the
srtipper. Stand directly in front of her, and people will throw $100 to her
each time, which you can collect. Be very careful not to touch her, or the
guards will start shooting at you. Note: This cheat takes awhile --
eat before you go.
Get a weapon, then stand outside the your house in the Ganton area. Shoot
your homies (wearing green). Some of them will drop a lot of money. Pick it
up, and if you have a wanted level go inside and save the game. Repeat this
to get a large amount of money.
Easy weapons in Los Santos
Drive around and hit Ballas. When they are dead, pick up their guns then
get back in your car and find more. This will get you a lot of weapons very
fast.
Easy Hitman rating in Los Santos
This trick requires a controller in port two. To get an easy Hitman
rating for either the 9 mm pistol or shotgun, go to the Los Santos Police
Department. Note the two player icon across the street. Quickly enter the
Police Department. Run and ignore any cops shooting at you and get the armor
in the locker room. It is the first room on your right. There is an
available pistol in the room on the right, at the far end of the hall.
Proceed to dispose of the police using your pistol. If you need ammunition,
the cops will drop a gun after you kill them. Your weapon skill will quickly
raise as you kill the swarms of police that come after you. Continue
shooting until your armor level becomes low or is gone. Then, run to the far
end of the police station hall, down the stairs, and into the holding cells.
In the middle cell is more armor. Use it and continue your massacre until
your armor is once again depleted. Next, quickly run out of the door and
across the street to the two player icon. Press R3 on controller two to
enter two player mode. Simply kill the second player and your wanted level
will be gone and your health will be refilled. Repeat this to gain Hitman
status or simply gain ammunition. Note: Hitman status with the
pistols will allow duel wielding, faster firing, improved accuracy, lock-on
range increased and faster strafing. There is also a shotgun hidden in the
police station in the room on your left as you enter, then to the room at
the right at the end of that one. The shotgun may not respawn as soon as you
enter, but in at least 60 seconds one should appear. You can use this
available shotgun to reach Hitman status with. Note: Hitman status
with the shotgun only gives you improved accuracy, move while firing, faster
firing rate and lock-on range increased -- not duel wielding. Duel wielding
can only be achieved with the sawed-off shotgun.
To raise your weapon skills quickly, enter a dance club, such as the "Alhambra"
in the Idlewood area. Begin shooting people with the weapon of your choice.
Doing so during the afternoon or night hours (12:00 to 04:00) greatly
increases the amount of people that respawn in the club. Since so many
people spawn, you have a virtually limitless amount of people to "train"
with. Doing so however, raises your wanted level greatly. Enable the "Lower
wanted level" code or know where the police bribes are, as you will need
them.
Go to the actual beach part of the Verona Beach area. Start shooting with
the desired gun. The cops will arrive after awhile, but you can make them go
away or just kill them for more. Keep doing this until the desired gun is at
Hitman level. It is possible to get four weapons up to Hitman level in about
an hour.
Walk out from CJ's house and make sure there a car in his garage. Use any
weapon to shoot the car in the garage until it catches on fire. Walk away
and let the garage close Then, open it and repeat the steps. You can do this
with any weapon to get an easy Hitman level.
Go into the bar near CJ's house in the Ganton area. Kill everyone there
and try to get a two or three star wanted level. Start killing the police
that come through the door. When no one remains, turn around and look. They
should be there.
Easy races
Before a race, enable the "Pedestrians riot" code. The racers will start
fighting with fans and you can finish in first without even trying.
Lose weight quickly
If you want to lose weight quickly, enable the "Speed up time" code.
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 be
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.
Play basketball in Los Santos
After completing the Taggin Up Turf mission, you can go beside Sweet's
house. There will be a basketball court with a basketball in the middle.
Walk up to it and press Triangle to play basketball. Note: You can
only play by yourself.
Play pool and arcade games in Los Santos
Go out of CJ's neighborhood in Ganton. At night, you will see a bar with
beer bottles flashing on top of it. It is next to the bridge. Go inside the
bar, and there will be a man next to the pool table. Walk up to him and
press Triangle to play a game of pool. You can also bet money on the game.
There are also arcade games you can play in the bar.
Play video game in Los Santos
Go in CJ's living room and walk up to the television. Press Triangle to
play "They Came From Uranus".
Practice dance moves in Los Santos
In the Idlewood area (between the three way highway section and the red
line where the train is passing on your map) is the Alhambra Club. You can
find it easily by the four torches at the entrance. Once there, you can
practice your dance by pressing the corresponding buttons (X, Circle,
Triangle, and Square) as shown on the screen). You can also play some video
games at the arcade machine or buy some food or drinks at the vending
machines.
Bet on horses
Near the Downtown and Mulholland Intersection areas (under the highway,
next to the big parking lot), is a building called Inside Track Betting (with
red/pink/blue posters). The entrance is just in front of it, and you can
play a horse race game. You first bet on one of the horse to win, then the
amount of money. Afterwards you can see the race.
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.
Additionally, 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.
Vending machine in Los Santos
Go to the bar near Ganton but do not go in. Instead, look around the bar
and close to the bridge will be a drink machine. Go up to it and press
Triangle to pay $1 for a drink.
Breaking fences
Walk up to a fence and either punch it or cut it with a chainsaw.
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.
Destroying cars quickly
To quickly blow up cars, shoot the gas tank. This is useful when killing
a lot of people at once.
Lock on enemies
When fighting someone (not with gun), press R1 to lock on to them.
Expand and shrink moon
Use a sniper rifle to shoot the moon to make it expand, then shrink in
size.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Taking over gang territories easily
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.
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. Additionally, 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.
Unlock more gang territories in Los Santos
Get in a Rustler from the abandoned airport and fly southeast. Once you
pass Los Santos International Airport, fly to the top of the second altitude
bar and release X to allow the plane fly in autopilot. About every three
minutes, look at your stats and examine the Gang section to find that the
Vagos or the Ballas have gained a territory. Sometimes the Grove Street also
takes more territories. To get the entire map filled with gang territories,
let the plane autopilot for over two hours. Check you plane periodically so
that it does not crash in the ocean. Once you die, the territories will be
visible on the map.
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.
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 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.

a PR-24 (nightstick) in the police station as well. You can pick up the
dildo and the PR-24 without anything happening, but when you take the
shotgun you will get two stars on your wanted meter.
Go to the small town of Dillimore near Red County. Find the police
station with the garage opened up outside. Unequip your weapon and enter the
police station by walking over the entrance marker. Once inside, proceed
into the hallway ahead of you and take the first right into a locker room.

house in the Ganton area when you exit it.
Weapons storage warehouse in Los Santos
Go to the Ocean Docks area in Los Santos. Look for railroad tracks and
follow them south until they lead to a building with boxcars. The complex
can only be entered by jumping the wall, going through the boxcar warehouse,
or by an opening to the right of the warehouse. The boxcar warehouse has a
sawed-off shotgun (you will need a car to get it) in one of the cars, a
plank bridge that leads to body armor, and gas grenades located at the back
exit. A short distance away from the back exit, you will see an entrance to
another warehouse. This one is full of crates. Go through the crates to find
stairs. Behind the stairs is an AK-47. Go up the stairs to find more body
armor.
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.
Get automatic fire with any weapon
In two player mode, enable any weapon code one time. Waste all the
ammunition in your SMG gun. Then, hold the weapon you want to have automatic
fire (Desert Eagle recommended). Get in the passenger side of a car while
the other player drives. While holding the Desert Eagle in the car, enable
the same weapon code again. You can now shoot the gun automatically.

Repeatedly tap Square as CJ is falling to take less damage when he hits
the ground. Additionally, 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.
Take a Shamal or Hydra into the second meter of altitude. With a
parachute, jump out of the plane and press Circle to open it. Then,
immediately press Triangle. You will fall to the ground, and if you have
full health you will survive with just a little remaining.

When you are by your house on the hills directly behind the "Vinewood"
sign, go behind the house where the pool is located. Walk over to the wall
and go straight, where another wall meets that wall. You will be able to
walk through the wall, and if you walk in the correcl location, you will
fall and the "Loading" message will appear. The game will place you on a
road below the "Vinewood" sign.

When in a helicopter, fly above the giant bridge and try to land in the
middle. The helicopter will land in mid air, and you can get out and walk
around in the air.

say something, then fall to the floor. Note: This best done at
Cluckin' Bell.
Flying fish
Get a rocket or grenade launcher and go near a river or beach with fish.
Shoot the fish with a rocket or grenade. The fish will fly out of the water
and swim around in mid air.
Pose for the camera
This trick can be done at any time in the game. First, make sure your
camera is in your hand. While running, quickly tap R1 to aim, but do not
release the Left Analog-stick. If done correctly, CJ will be in a running
stance, but will be completely still. You can rotate the Left Analog-stick
during this time, and he will pivot on one foot.
Flying Tanker
Steal a Tractor, and grab onto a Tanker (tractor-trailer truck/18 wheeler).
Back up to the front of the Tanker and latch on to it. Drive forward, then
turn sharply into circles. The Tanker should go flying through the air. This
may require several attempts.
Feet appear through bottom of car
Enter a car and enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. Your feet will appear
through the bottom of the car. This also works with planes and helicopters.
With bikes, CJ will appear to be standing up on the bike.
Bicycle catches on fire
If a bicycle is upside down, it will catch on fire. However, it is very
difficult to get bicycle to stay upside down.
Lowrider remains in position
Get a lowrider with hydraulics. Put the car in any hydraulic position
desired. While holding the car in that direction, press Triangle to get out.
You can see the car remain that way. For example, have the back of the car

hanging on the wall. They say "Burger Shot".
Wrong dialogue in Los Santos
During the Reuniting The Families mission, the police helicopter
announces that they are the "Los Angeles Police Department" instead of the
"Los Santos Police Department".
Camera in Los Santos
Go in CJ's bedroom. There will be a camera beside the bed. Also, once you
complete a certain mission, there will also be a can of spray paint in there.
Secret government agency base in Las Venturas
Get in any land or air vehicle and drive or fly to the abandoned air
field in the region of Las Venturas. To the south from here, there is a
little area that is a "no fly zone". If flown over, a mysterious five star
wanted level will appear. This is because the area is a government agency
secret base that holds several heavy and speedy army vehicles. You can also
find this area in the middle part of the region of Las Venturas on the map
included with the game.
Reaching other cities early
Hijack the train. The easiest way to do this 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.
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 "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.
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.
Reach other cities early in Los Santos
Use the following trick to get to the other cities before their freeway
entrances are actually open. Go to any bridge that connects the start of
city of Los Santos to any of the closed cities. Jump into the water that is
under that bridge and swim across. When you get far enough, you will have a
four star wanted rating. Once you get on land, get a vehicle as soon as
possible. Note: You cannot use bribe icons or the Pay N' Spray to
decrease this wanted rating.
Reach Las Venturas early in San Fierro
When you get to San Fierro, go to the shore and travel until you see the
Golden Gate Bridge. Enable the "Drive on water" and "Spawn Rhino" codes. Get
in the tank and find a way off of the shore. Drive until you get to Las
Venturas, and drive onto land. When you get there, you will have a four star
wanted meter. Explore the city, and 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.
Fly plane without pilot license
Go to either Los Santos or Las Vatos 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.
Go to the airport and get 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. After you jump off of the building,
just walk around and look for a plane.
To get into the Los Santos airport without a pilots license go all the
way south until you reach a tunnel. On the south side of the tunnel, look
along the fence line of the airport. Notice how the sidewalk has an incline.
Walk up the incline and climb up the ledge where the bottom of the fence
starts. Turn towards the ramp sign and jump across. You should grab onto the
sign. Then, climb up on top of it, turn towards the fence, and jump. You
should jump across and grab the fence. CJ will pull himself up and over, and
you will be in the airport.
To access Los Santos International airport early, get a large van and hop
over the fence where the guard tells you that you need a pilots license. You
can also get any car and hop over the fence around the corner from the guard.
Once inside, you will have to hop another fence, then you will find a Dodo.
If you go a little further inside near the runway, you will find a jet.
Walk up to the airport gate in San Fierro, touching it. Then, walk along
the side of the gate into the corner were the fence bends (keeping in
contact with the gate) and walk back into the middle of the gate. It will
slide open. You must start in the middle and walk to whichever side the gate
will slide open to. For example, if the gates on the left, walk to the left.
If it does not work at first, keep trying.
Parachute in Los Santos
In the Downtown area (near the three way highway section and the red line
where the train is passing on your map), you will see a tall circular
building with blue/white glass windows. The entrance (with the yellow
triangle) is just in the front of it. Enter it, and you will go to the roof
of the building where you can find a parachute. Take it, jump down from the
roof, and press Circle to open the parachute. Use the Left Analog-stick to
control it. Note: You must wait a short time until the parachute
respawns back on the roof.
In the Downtown area, there is a skyscraper near the overpass with three
triangular columns in front of the corner entrance. Across the street is a
building with circular structures around the windows and facing west at the
end of the street, a building with a yellow "gems" billboard on top. Enter
the skyscraper and go up the stairs. You will see the parachute. If you want
to try it, jump off the building and press Circle. Note: Each
parachute is good for one jump only.
Go to the police station in the Downtown area. At the doors, you will see
a yellow upside down triangle. When you walk in it, you will see a flight of
stairs. Go up them and look to the left. You will see a parachute backpack.
Walk to it and make sure your weapon display shows the backpack. When you
confirm that it is there, jump off and press Circle. The parachute will open.
Use the Left Analog-stick to steer yourself left or right or slow down. You
can wait until you are lower before opening it. If you wait too long, the
parachute will not open in time and you will die.
Parachute in San Fierro
Go to the Downtown area. Find the very big building. Out front, there a
sign that reads "No base jumping". Go to the yellow triangle and you will go
to the top. You will automatically get a parachute. This jump lets you fall
a long way before opening the parachute. Note: You can only jump once,
unless you die.
After you unlock Mt. Chiliad in the Whetstone area, take a Sanchez to the
top of the mountain. Once at the very top, look for a mobile home, and a
van. Behind them is a parachute. Pick it up, then look for the ramp by the
flag. Driver very fast and jump off. After a few seconds in the air, jump
off the bike, then press Circle to deploy your parachute, or you can wait to
do some free falling. You can also jump off of some high buildings, and out
of airplanes.
There is another parachute on 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.
Unless you have a license, do the "Fly plane without pilot license" trick
to get a plane or helicopter early. Fly to the top of Mt. Chiliad. On the
east side where campers are parked, there will be rocks. There should be a
parachute on those rocks.
If you ride to the top of Mt. Chiliad, you will find yet another
parachute location as well as a Bmx bike race marathon as well as a speed
ramp which you can use to fly of the mountain if desired.
Use the Jetpack to reach the very top of the northernmost tower of the
bridge leading from San Fierro to Tierra Robada to find a parachute to
skydive with.
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 of Los Santos, and
off the top of Mt. Chiliad. Additionally, 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.
Easy money in San Fierro
Do the valet side-quest missions. You will be awarded a $ spot, where
periodically you can claim free money.
Chain gun in San Fierro
There is a chain gun on Point Kinclad (big red train tracks in San Fierro).

Fierro to go to Las Venturas to find it.
Hippy Shopper asset in San Fierro
Get on the Freeway bike in front of the Hippy Shopper store near the
Ammu-Nation. Complete level 4 of deliveries to get the store as an asset,
where you can collect money.
Military vehicles in San Fierro
Near the port in San Fierro there will be a naval base. If you quickly
enter the compound and drive around, you will eventually find a military
truck and Patriot vehicle. Note: Once you enter the compound of the
naval base, you will get a five star wanted level.
Flamethrower and pool stick in San Fierro
In the Doherty area, go behind your garage to find a construction area
(marked brown on the map). Go to the building just left of the road on the
brown area. Under a broken ramp is a flamethrower and pool stick.
Fling Bulldozer around in San Fierro
Go to the construction yard near San Fierro. Go past the crane and turn
left after the first hangar. Behind that, you will see a towtruck, Get in
and drive towards the Bulldozer. Hook up the Bull Dozer. Drive up the hill
to where there is an open area. Then, turn very sharp to either the left or
the right. The Bulldozer will fling around, pulling the tow truck with it.
For even more fun, get three or more tow trucks and hook them all up into a
line. With three or more, the Bulldozer acts like a ball and chain flailing
around.

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.
Gant Bridge message in San Fierro
Note: This works best if you unlocked the Jet Pack or an expert at
landing helicopters. Go to the Gant Bridge and fly up to the very top. Go
the very top cable line piece that is horizontal, is south on the Gant
Bridge, and is the closest to San Fierro. Fly up to the very top and look at
the cable that is vertical to see a sign that reads "There are no Easter
Eggs up here. Go Away".
Area 69 in Bone County
Get in any land or air vehicle and drive or fly to the abandoned air
field in the region of Las Venturas. To the south from here, there is a
little area that is a "no fly zone". If flown over, a mysterious five star
wanted level will appear. This is because the area is a government agency
secret base that holds several heavy and speedy army vehicles. You can also
find this area in the middle part of the region of Las Venturas on the map
included with the game.
Go underground in Area 69 in Bone County
Do the underworld glitch (at the Vinewood safehouse head north from Madd
Dogg's) and fly to Area 69. Find the underground complex. Find the area
where you get the Black Project, and you should see an empty long hollow
room next to it. It should have red boxes at the top of the "silo". Fly
underneath the empty silo then fly to the top of the silo. You should see a
"cage" where the room is of the red boxes. Try to take off your Jetpack.
When you do, you should land in the Black Project area or the rooms around
there. Note: To do the underworld glitch, find the safe house pool.
Fly the Jetpack into the corner of the safe house. Then, fly to Area 69.
Also, bring weapons and armor because the SAPD officers spawn down there.
Hunter Quarry asset in Bone County
Successfully complete all seven quarry missions to get it as an asset,
where you can collect money.
Easy money in Whetstone
Get to Mt. Chiliad and go behind the RVs. Pick up the parachute and get
on the mountain bike, which will start a challenge. Go off the ramp to the
right and get off of your bike in mid-air. Pull the parachute and you will
not hit the ground, but instead be put back on the bike with the chute still
open. You can keep going off the ramp repeatedly to get as much money as
desired.
Climb Mt. Chiliad faster in Whetstone
Get a BMX bike and go to Mt. Chiliad. Ride up the mountain (not on the
road). Tap as hard as you can with the BMX bike, and you will be able to
climb the mountain faster.
Infinite nitrous
Activate the nitrous in a car and put it inside your garage. While the
nitrous is still activated, shoot the car until it explodes, then allow the
garage door to close. When the door opens again, the nitrous will always
remain activated in that car.
Quick nitrous refill
Leave your car, then immediately re-enter it. Your nitrous will be back
at full.
Exceed garage limit
When you want to park a car in a garage but the game states that you
cannot store another vehicle, you drive the car near the garage and get out.
Then, hop in the car and drive in.
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.
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. Additionally, to get in a locked vehicle
with someone inside (for example, a Combine Harvester), 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 Mt. Chiliad) 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.
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.

inside at certain times. It can climb to the highest altitude possible in
the game.
Go to the northeastern part of the Las Venturas airport, where a huge
hanger with a green door is located. When you walk up to it, the door will
open downward to reveal an AT-400 airliner. When you see it, there will be a
platform to the left of the plane that you can go on. When you get onto the
platform, go to the plane and press Triangle to enter it and fly around.

Big jump with Bicycle
While on a bike, pedal at full speed at an oncoming car. Bunny hop onto
the hood and you will launch yourself in the air.
Bunny hop very high with Bicycle
Use the following trick to jump as high as a telephone pole on a bicycle
(bunny hop). A few or more tries may be required to learn the correct timing
of the buttons. First, make sure you have a machine gun. Stand up on your
bike by leaning forward on the Left Analog-stick. Then, as you keep holding
Left Analog-stick Up, hold L1 to set up for a bunny hop. Now, perform this
sequence. First, release L1. Immediately afterwards, stop pressing Left
Analog-stick Up. Immediately after that, press Circle to fire your machine
gun. If done correctly, the bike hops many times higher into the air than
normal. It is possible to jump over a two story building from flat ground by
doing this.
Create ball and chain with Bulldozer
Go to the construction yard near San Fierro. Go past the crane and turn
left after the first hangar. Behind that, you will see a towtruck, Get in
and drive towards the Bulldozer. Hook up the Bull Dozer. Drive up the hill
to where there is an open area. Then, turn very sharp to either the left or
the right. The Bulldozer will fling around, pulling the tow truck with it.
For even more fun, get three or more tow trucks and hook them all up into a
line. With three or more, the Bulldozer acts like a ball and chain flailing
around.
Bullet

unlock the Bullet. Alternately, look for the burger shop in the Juniper
Hollow area in the north part of San Fierro, west of the church. The Bullet

Go to the restricted area in Bone County. Inside you will find a Cargobob
helicopter, Rhino tanks and a Patriot. If you go to the center of base you
will find a steel vent on the ground. Destroy it, and you can go inside and
turn off the SAM sites surrounding the base. You should now be able to fly
out in the chopper. Alternately, go to KACC Military Fuels at the top of Las
Venturas. Note: You need a Patriot to do this trick. If you have done
the mission for the Heist strand called Up, Up, and Away, this is the
location of KACC Military Fuels. Once there, take your Patriot and drive
through the front gates. No one is there, and you will not get shot. Note:
If it does not let you through, take a ramp truck and put it near the gate.
Then, run up it and jump the fence. Once you are inside, get out of your
vehicle, go to your left, and go inside the hangar (round building) and walk
through to the other end. You will end up back outside. Once you are outside
in the back of the Military Fuels area, make a right and run towards the
stairs that you see. Walk up those stairs, and when you get to the top, the
Cargobob will be on the heli-pad. Get in it without any stars or police
after you. To make this easier, just take a plane there and parachute out.
However, make sure to land on the helipad.
The Cargobob Helicopter can also be found where you found the Levitation

Take a bike to the farm and ride to the back of the farm using an
indirect route, bypassing the survivalists in the fields and tractors.
Quickly steal the harvester, then run over the survivalists that are on foot
between you and the road back. Try to overturn the pickups that are in your
way. If they are still following you on the road, do a drive by when one is
next to you to kill the gunman on the truck bed. The Harvester can take
quite a bit of damage. Hit the pickup until it catches on fire, then get
away.
Burglary missions
In the Ganton area of Los Santos, go towards the gym that is just a block
south of the Binco store and the bar. Across the street from the gym and to
the south, you should see a van parked next to a house. It is a boxcar.
After 20:00, jump in and you can go on burglary missions until sunrise.
Catalyst mission
When you reach the train, do not bother getting out of your car. Drive
around the pinned down Groves and run into the Vagos. Drive into the train
tunnel to turn around if needed. After all the ones on the ground are killed,
exit the car and shoot the one on the train. Then, get back into your car
and run over the arriving Ballas. If your car begins smoking, park it next
to the Ballas car to create an explosion that should kill them all. Then,
get on the train as instructed. Quickly toss the ammo crates to Ryder. There
is an unlimited number of them onboard so you do not have to waste time
getting a perfect target. You may want to change the "Invert Look Controls"
setting to make this less confusing. Remember to change the setting back
after all the crates are tossed.
Cleaning The Hood mission
Do not bother using fighting moves on the crack dealer outside. A single
shot from your pistol will bring him down. Once inside the crack den, use
the pistol again to take down the targets quickly. Note: Shoot the
man with the bat first.
Drive-By mission
After approaching each group of targets, just continue to drive around
the block normally. There is no reason to damage your car trying to reverse
or spin back around. The targets do not run far. Simply drive normally
around the block until your partners can start shooting them again. With the
last group of Balla's, drive your car down the path and through the tunnel
to run them over. Turn around and repeat until they are all dead. Note:
Since this mission is not timed, you can drive carefully to a Pay N' Spray
between drive-bys to get your car's health bar restored. You will eventually
have to go to the Pay N' Spray anyway at the end of the mission to lower
your wanted level. Note: That visit will be complimentary, but any
others will be charged.
Drive Thru mission
Try to get in front of the Ballas car and trap it into a wall or building.
Your partners will shoot it until it catches on fire. Get your car away from
it before it explodes.
Farewell My Love mission
As the race begins, instead of going forward, turn around and go
straight. You will be jumping off a cliff, but if you can land your car
successfully you will be on your way. Keep driving straight into the town.
Take a right turn at the first right you see. If you have already done the
race you should know where to go. Follow the road and take another right.
You will then be driving across a small bridge. Turn left on the small dirt
road and park your car at the end of the bridge. Since you are allowed only
25 seconds out of your car, you must do this quickly. Once out of your car,
run to the middle of the bridge. Enable the "Spawn Rhino" code, which should
block the bridge. Do this as many times as desired, but be aware that the
other cars will show up sometime around three minutes. When the cars appear,
make sure to have the rocket launcher out before getting in your car. When
the cars show up, they will drive into the creek/river. Quickly get out of
your car and fire multiple rockets at them. Do this very quickly. You can
then complete the race with no competitors.
Fender Ketchup mission
To easily complete this mission, find a large empty area and just keep
going fast back and forth doing a lot of 180 degree turns to get the
scare-o-meter full. Watch out for cops -- once they spot you, you will have
more then one star and they will try to hit you head on. Remember to make
sure that you do not get in a head on collision, or the man on the hood will
die.
High Stakes, Low Rider mission
Instead of using the first lowrider that was given you by Cesar, drive
any vehicle to Cesar's house. Look across the street from the mission
starting circle to find a light colored Voodoo in a driveway. Get in it, and
use it to start the mission. This car is considered a low rider, but does
not have hydraulics making it less likely that you will accidentally
activate them. It also controls better in turns when compared to your
original lowrider. Get to the starting position of the race. When the race
begins, try to maneuver around the inevitable initial crash of most of the
other drivers. Note that the waypoint markers for races now are visible on
the horizon, unlike the "bubble" markers of previous Grand Theft Auto games.
Also, imbedded in the waypoint marker is an arrow that will indicate the
direction that you need to follow for the next marker. It may be easier to
slip into second place and watch the first place cars for cues on where to
turn. Otherwise, just pay attention to the directions and take your turns
carefully when in first place. By the time you reach the final waypoint
markers, slip into first place, or use the final straight away to take the
lead. Do not slow down at the end, even though the road stops. Hit the
finish line at full speed.
Bulletproof Savanna in High Stakes, Low Rider mission
After completing the 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.
Home Invasion mission
Try to get to the target house with as much time remaining. The required
three ammunition boxes can be found in the following locations. In the first
room that you enter, look to your right near the cannon next to the front
window. Go up the stairs and look on the landing. Go all the way up the
stairs and go to the end of the hallway. If desired, you can get three more
boxes in the house, but they do not seem to give anything extra.
Ice Cold Killa mission
Take a gun and shoot out the tires of the pimpmobile. Then, shoot the car
until the smoke turns black. Next, get a gun that you can do drive bys with.
If you do not have one, go behind the building and by a pole for the bridge
to find one. When you get into the club through the windows, meet Jizzy and
just run out of the club after him. When you are out there, the pimpmobile
should be in the same condition that you left it. It is easier to blow up
his car. Additionally, before you go into the club, shoot out the tires of
his Pimpmobile. Get in the club, chase him out, and he will get into the car
even with blown tires. You just run after him, and pull him out of the car.
Just Business mission
On the first part, let Sweet do all the shooting. When on the motorcycle
unleash your guns on the people on motorcycles going for the person driving.
If he dies they both do. You can also try to pop their tires. They will spin
out. Do not worry about the big truck you see -- it is indestructible. You
will see the action play out of you going of the car. You will jump off the
big truck from the trailer.
Key To Her Heart mission
In the Key To Her Heart mission for Woozie in Las Venturas, when you go
to the courtier's house and kill the gimp, you can take his purple dildo to
use as a melee weapon. Additionally, when you get Millie as a girlfriend,
instead of dating her, kill her. Wait awhile and Woozie will call. CJ will
say that Millie is dead. Woozie will tell you to go to her house and take
the pass key.
Noon mission
You must keep ramming him and do the "PIT" maneuver as taught in driving
school. His car will come next to you. When it does, shoot him with a drive
by. His car will catch on fire and he will get out. He will shoot at you.
You must shoot at him first and he will die.
OG Loc mission
After getting the PCJ and beginning the chase, it is not necessary to
shoot at or try to knock Freddy off his bike. You simply need to follow him.
If you lose sight of him, just keeping him in the zoomed version of the
mini-map is enough to keep the mission going. Try to follow his path, but if
he gets out of sight, you can use parallel streets and paths to continue.
Pay attention to whether his position is above or below you (a triangle
instead of a square) on the mini-map, and choose the appropriate course. At
the end, he will stop at a park in Vagos territory. Ride your PCJ up the
stairs past the gang to the top of the structure, then mow them down as they
clear the top of the steps.
Billboard message in Reuniting The Families mission
Along the highway in Los Santos is an advertisement on a billboard. It
has a woman on it with a can of pop on the side of her labeled Sprunk. Under
that, it reads "A taste of things to come". At the end of the Reuniting The
Families mission, your car will go through that billboard, changing the
writing at the bottom to read "A taste of come".
Robbing Uncle Sam mission
Before you climb over the gate, get a gun or Uzi and shoot the two
soldiers from outside . When you climb over the gate, shoot the guard
standing behind two crates . When you enter the warehouse, use the forklift
and carry two boxes at a time. Do this by sliding the arms directly into the
middle of two boxes. You can now carry both of them at the same time.
However, you cannot put two boxes into the truck at the same time . By the
time you carry the two boxes behind the truck , one army guard will appear
and Ryder will try to kill him. Do not let him kill the guard by himself, as
he takes a long time and could lose a lot of health. After you have carried
the four boxes to the truck , there will be two boxes outside the warehouse
. They can be found at the left hand side of the warehouse, and the other
can be found at the place where you killed the third soldier before you
entered the warehouse. After when you escape , two army vehicles will start
to chase you. If you are lucky, both of them can keep crashing and they will
end up exploding.
Before starting the mission, find the TV Studios in the northwest part of
Los Santos. At the top of the stairs (in the car park), you will find a
sniper rifle. When you start the mission, do not shoot the guard at the
gate. Instead, run behind the building that is on your left. Go up the
stairs, walk along the pathway, and drop down at the end. Run and climb up
the container boxes that are in front of you. You may get shot a few times,
but if you are fast, you will survive. Use the sniper rifle to shoot all the
guards (do not open the gate yet). After you have opened the warehouse door
by shooting the switch on the right and have killed the two guards inside,
move the boxes close to the door by using the forklift. Also, move the two
boxes outside (which one of the guards was previously using for cover). You
can now open the front gate. If you use the sniper rifle, you will not have
to keep running around. You should be able to load the boxes quickly while
Sweet covers you. Note: Keep an eye on Sweet's health. You may need to stop
loading and shoot a few guards if he starts to lose too much health.
Supply Line mission
First, go after the man on the bike to your left when you take off. Next,
swing around and take out the man in the van. Then, head west and take out
the other van. This is the easy part. Instead of flying across town to kill
the motorbike and the last van, land on a building close to where you
started and just remain there. You will not lose any fuel after your model
airplane has landed. For some reason, the other two couriers will make their
way toward you. Sit patiently until you can get behind the bike (it will
reach you first), then land again on a nearby building. The last van may end
up on the freeway. You will have a clear shot at him by flying only a few
blocks, and you will be close to Zero's shop.
Sweet's Girl mission
Make sure you have a fast and reliable car in your garage before staring
the mission. Quickly drive to the yellow objective marker. Drive your car on
the sidewalk to mow down the Ballas. Keep going into the basketball court at
the end of the street to turn around and make another pass. If your car
starts smoking, quickly park it next to any survivors and bail. The
explosion should kill them. Get behind some cover and shoot anyone remaining.
Tagging Up Turf mission
To spray over the last tag on the upper part of the building, walk to the
nearby small fenced in alley. You will be instructed to hold Square to climb
it. Do so, cross to the other higher fence and also climb that. Then, climb
the short wall, then climb again to the ledge that you can use to walk to
the tag.
Tanker Commander mission
After hooking up the trailer, jump out of the truck. The gas station
attendant and a friend will be in a car nearby. It will repeatedly crash
into the stationary truck and trailer and become damage. Stay out of the way
and shoot the car when it is in a safe position until it catches on fire.
The gas station attendant will bail. Shoot him, then get back in the truck
and carefully drive it to the destination marker.

Maurice" got taken off the air. Obviously this game takes place further in
the past, so "Gardening With Maurice" is still on.
