**NOTE: The [gnat] replaces the "@" symbol in the e-mail address. It is
to thwart spambots looking for email addresses to send spam to.
Simply replace [gnat] with "@" when responding. I chose [gnat]
because it rhymes with "at" and is easy to remember. Same goes
for "." - [snot].

**NOTICE: This guide may only be distributed and/or posted in its
original format (and, most importantly, UNALTERED in any way).
If you wish to post or use excerpts from this guide then please ask for
my permission first before doing so (especially if you work for a
magazine or website). A lot of time and effort was spent putting this
thing together and that should be taken into consideration.
And remember.....
"Respect is everything."
Besides, contacting me will also give me an opportunity to hook up and
talk shop with fellow San Andreas "thuggers".....
I truly want to thank those who have written to me about this guide even if
you haven't received a response. I tend to read my e-mail late at night and
sometimes I'm too tired to respond right away. Mainly because I'm either a)
updating my other FAQs and documents, b) hacking up a console or doing more
RGB experiments or c) I've had a rough night at work (I work retail you
know....).
I've received a lot of nice e-mail about this guide from people around the
world saying how good the guide is and offering suggestions (many of which
made it into the previous revisions). I intend to continue updating and
polishing this document for as long as possible.

\#########################################################################/
This guide uses a Quick Search Feature which takes advantage of the Find
feature used by many web browsers. This feature will allow you to go to any
chapter or section in this guide quickly.
On the left side of many of the chapters, as well as the right side of each
of the major section headers, in the Table of Contents is a four character
code. To access any of those chapters or sections do CTRL-F (PC) or Clover-F
(Mac) to activate the Find feature in the web browser. Then enter the code in
BRACKETS (or at least the left bracket) like this:
[xxxx] or [xxxx
You will notice that the chapters for the Main Story Missions do not have a
four character code. They are accessed a little differently. To access any of
the Main Story Mission chapters you activate the Find feature and enter the >
character followed by the chapter number like this:
>KR6 or >ZD12
This feature also works backwards. You will notice that the Table of Contents
has its own four character code. Should you want to quickly go back to the
top of this document input the four letter code for the Table and you will
instantly be back at the top of the guide.

| A.1. Who Am I? |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA).
I also own multiple systems such as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox and Xbox 360.
I currently work at JCPenneys at one of the malls here in San Antonio, TX.
Retail isn't the best job in the world but JCPenneys has given me the job
stability I did not have much of prior to employment there. This also led to
personal stability that allows me to write and maintain the guides I have
built.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames.
Over time I have honed my overall writing and organization skills plus my
creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have extended the play value of the
games I have written guides and FAQs for many times over plus I have received
many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires.
To this end I became a member of the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their
"RGB + Video Discussions" forum area from time to time.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf" (I own all eight series plus the "Back to
Earth" mini-series on DVD). I am also a long time soundtrack collector with
many titles in my possession.
As far as favorite sports teams go, my teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
[the local team], the Denver Broncos (NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am
originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA
Football).

| A.2. My Setup [MSTP] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This guide was constructed using BBEdit Lite 6.1 and a Power Mac Workgroup
Server 8550/200 (with a G3 card running at 330 MHz). It is now being
maintained using TextWrangler on a 1.5Ghz Single Core Intel Mac Mini.
I view my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and
correct format errors.
I also play "GTA: San Andreas" on my NEC MultiSync 3D RGB monitor using a
homebrew RGB box that contains a EL1883 (MacroVision compatible) sync
separation chip to acquire video sync, for RGB use, from Composite Video.
When I do my writing and guide revisions, I run my Mac (on one monitor)
alongside the Xbox or PS2 (on my MultiSync 3D monitor). This way I can
simultaneously play and make changes to the guide at the same time.
The sound is hooked up to an old stereo box I got from Radio Shack when I
acquired my first Amiga 500 in 1990 and it has served me well considering its
age.
For my guide work I have more than twenty memory cards for my PlayStation 2.
Many of the memory cards are dedicated to "Grand Theft Auto III", "Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City" (Original Version (1.40)), "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty
City Stories", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" and "Grand Theft Auto:
San Andreas". One of those is dedicated to the Second Edition of San Andreas.
These memory cards allow me to quickly go and try out new ideas (and modify
old ones) when they occur to me or suggested by others.
I have done 100% Completion once on the PS2 (Original Version), Xbox
(Original Version), PS2 (Second Edition Version) and Xbox (Second Edition
Version).

highly organized format that you can use to beat all of the missions here in
San Andreas.
Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors.
When I first posted my initial version of my Vice City guide in 2003, I did
not know how well it would go over and how many people would respond. I
wasn't exactly swamped with e-mail but I do get letters from time to time.
Sometimes people would ask for advice and others would say how cool the guide
is. All it takes is for one person to say how good and useful your guide is
to make it all worthwhile. And others have made suggestions that have been
incorporated into my guides.
I want to thank GameFAQs for creating a place where such documents can be
hosted for the benefit of all gamers. I also want to thank IGN.com,
NeoSeeker.com, TheVGNation.com, GameHelper.com and many other sites for
their generosity in hosting my other work on their sites.
I also want to thank everybody who has taken the time to download and
read this guide. I love this game and I wanted to share my creative ideas
with fellow San Andreas "thuggers".
And, of course, I want to give a special thanks to all those who have taken
the time to write to me and tell me what you thought, make suggestions and
ask questions.
With that said, let's get down to business shall we?.....

| A.4. About The Guide [ABGD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
The main emphasis of this guide is to provide creative and simple solutions
to many of the missions of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas".
I have worked hard to make sure that this guide is as complete as possible
but, at the same time, leave room for exploration. I hope that you enjoy this
guide as much as learn from it.
This guide is designed to help you achieve 100% Completion within San
Andreas. Stuff that doesn't directly contribute to it won't be covered in the
guide (the exception being the "Burglar" Mission).
This is mainly to keep things manageable. Stuff that won't be covered are
Girlfriends (although Gifts are listed in the Weapons and Other Items
sections), basketball playing and (surprisingly enough) Unique Stunt Jumps.
Because of the large size of San Andreas, each major section of the guide
(Section B, Section C and Section D) will have their own Weapon location and
Safehouse lists.
Another emphasis of this guide is ORDER. If you do the missions and tasks in
a certain order then the game will be easier and more fun for you. You don't
absolutely have to do them in the EXACT order I have them listed but, as you
read the guide, then you will see how it benefitted me.
There are a total of 250 objects that must be painted over (Los Santos
Graffiti Tags), photographed (San Fierro Photo-Ops) or collected (Las
Venturas Horseshoes, Oysters).
Each Graffiti Tag, Oyster, Photo-Op and Horseshoe has a letter designation to
make them easier to identify in this guide. In addition, there is a three
letter Neighborhood Prefix (listings below) indicating a particular
neighborhood or area where the item can be found (in these examples I use
"XXX"):
>>Graffiti Tags (Los Santos) will be identified with an "T".
--Examples: Graffiti Tag [XXX-T21].
Tag [XXX-T32].
>>Oysters (San Andreas) will be identified with an "Y".
--Examples: Oyster [XXX-Y34].
>>Photo-Ops (San Fierro) will be identified with a "P".
--Examples: Photo-Op [XXX-P27].
>>Horseshoes (Las Venturas) will be identified with a "H".
--Examples: Horseshoe [XXX-H18].

| A.6. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" [GTAS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
What can I say? Rockstar has done it again. They have completely blown my
expectations out of the water with San Andreas. San Andreas is much, much
larger than GTA3 and Vice City combined with many more things to do whether
you want to get 100% Completion or not.
There are even more vehicles to play with including earthmovers, tractors,
biplanes, jets, street sweepers and even trains.
The one major criticism I have for this game is that they seem to have given
us too much of a good thing. Of course, there are a lot of companies that
would love to have that kind of criticism.
But San Andreas is not perfect.....

| A.7. Major Bugs [MJBG] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
When the game was first released on the PlayStation 2 and the Original Xbox,
there were a couple of major issues that upset gamers:
0=========================================0
| "Supply Lines" (PS2 Adults Only Version) \
0================================================================>
One of the characters in the game, Zero, has some Asset Missions for his
business. One of them involved flying a small remote controlled plane.
This mission is called "Supply Lines". And it has been often considered the
single worst mission in San Andreas.
But, to make matters worse, there was a flaw or bug that hindered the player.
In the mission you used up fuel no matter what you do. This included gliding
(getting in the air and letting off the gas).
However, in the Xbox and PC versions, you don't use fuel when gliding which
made the mission much easier and more manageable. Since, in the PS2 version,
you used up fuel when gliding this greatly reduced the range of your plane
and made it far more difficult to successfully complete the mission.
0==========================================0
| Off-Map Glitch (Xbox Adults Only Version) \
0================================================================>
This bug was originally called the "Pilot's License Glitch".
One of the common tactics to get your Flying Stat maxed out early in the game
was to go to Los Santos International Airport and get a Shamal then fly east
off the map then return with a fully maxed Flying Stat.
But, in the Xbox version, something bad happens when you do that. By flying
off the map this way then you prevent the Taxi Mission from being completed
(no fares will ever show up) and the "Mike Toreno" mission (the game won't
recognize when you are near the markers).
Because the "Mike Toreno" mission is necessary for completion of the Main
Story then you would screw yourself and you would need to restart your game
either from a point before flying off the map or completely from scratch.
Initially I felt this bug had to do with the Pilot's License but was informed
otherwise by Zoomzoom Moonchild:
"What triggers the glitch is going off of the regular map and going out
into the ocean. If you just keep going and going it does something to
the game where it can't recognize certain aspects geographically, such
as for the passengers in the Taxi Mission. You can trigger this glitch
by swimming out too far, or by traveling too far in a boat or
helicopter, however it's a lot easier to trigger the glitch it in a
fixed-wing aircraft such as a jet (because they move much faster). Once
the glitch has occurred there is no way that I know of to correct it,
you must restart from a previously saved game (before the glitch
occurred) or start a new game."
And, according to Orion_SR, there are certain zone markers that are corrupted
and, by flying through them, then you are moving certain invisible zones off
the map thus causing various problems. The worst of these markers is at the
southeast corner of the map.
Of course, if you fly due east of Los Santos International Airport to max out
your Flying Stat, then you fly through this area and seriously muck things
up.
You can actually go north of this area then fly east off the map. However,
that doesn't guarantee you won't screw yourself over. According to Orion_SR,
you can still get the Glitch by flying off the map anywhere but the fastest
way to screw yourself is through this corrupted zone marker at the southeast
corner.
And, because of this information, then it was best to rename this bug to
better reflect its actual origins.
You may have also noticed that these bugs affected what are known as the
Adults Only version of the game. And this leads to something that was far
more devastating than any bug.....
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.8. "Hot Coffee" [HCFE] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Shortly after the PC and Xbox versions were released then Rockstar was caught
up in a controversy known as "Hot Coffee". Buried within the large mountain
of computer code was a little mini-game that allowed the main character to
actively please a woman sexually.
This was supposed to happen when you got far enough in the relationship with
a Girlfriend to have sex with her. The reason for the name "Hot Coffee" is,
because when she invited you into her house, it was for "coffee".
During development Rockstar felt that maybe that this mini-game might cause
too much trouble so they decided not to use it. However, instead of removing
the code, they decided to deactivate it but leave the code within the game.
Instead, when you go in for "coffee", then you just see the outside of the
house and hear a lot of erotic noises.
When the PC version came out then the mod community went to work to modify
San Andreas to suit their desires like changing landscapes, weapons and cars.
But someone in Holland discovered the "Hot Coffee" mini-game and told the
gaming community about it. He showed them where it was and how to activate
it.
Glen T. Winstein wrote to me strongly suggesting that it was placed within
the code in such a way that it was meant to be discovered. Jay Versluis also
added that Rockstar knew it would cause controversy and would help them gain
publicity.
However, in some cases, the publicity can come at a high price as Rockstar
would soon find out.
Here in the United States our views toward sex are Puritan to say the least.
It didn't take long for certain activists to get their hooks into this
controversy. There was lawyer Jack Thompson (who I think is an attention
seeking troll) and Senator Hilary Clinton (who's no better) that made the
most noise about "Hot Coffee".
Rockstar's stance was that the modders created the mini-game and angrily
denounced it. The modders pointed out that the code was within the game and
that they simply unlocked it. Rockstar continued to point the finger at the
modders for creating the mini-game.
In the meantime, Xbox and PlayStation 2 users went to try to activate the
mini-game within their own copies. And thanks to cheat discs like ARMax they
were able to do just that.
Since the PS2 and Xbox versions were nearly impossible to mod then Rockstar's
house of cards completely collapsed.
To make matters worse, the ESRB, which rates the games here in the United
States, retroactively changed the rating for San Andreas from M to AO (Adults
Only). This was despite the fact that you had to go through a lot of stuff
just to activate "Hot Coffee".
There were two reasons, I felt, that the ESRB did this. First, this was to
punish Rockstar for some of the other stuff they did in the past. And second,
the ESRB wanted to get the message across to all the other developers that
you will not get away with intentionally circumventing the ESRB.
A lot of places here in the US will not carry any game with an AO rating so
they quickly cleared the shelves of San Andreas. Rockstar began work to put
out a "Hot Coffee" free version as soon as possible to help recoup the losses
they suffered, with one report saying that Take Two Interactive would lose as
much as $50 million, over this controversy.
These new versions would be called the Second Edition and this leads me to
the next chapter.....

| A.9. Second Edition Differences [SDFR] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Shortly after their releases then I acquired the Second Edition versions for
both the Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles.
As with the various versions of Vice City, the game saves from the AO Version
of San Andreas will *NOT* work with the Second Edition Version.
However, as it was pointed out on various forums, whenever you change the
main program even a little this will cause the game save incompatibility.
There is nothing that anyone can do about it and this is something that we
will have to live with.
Listed below are the differences between the Original and Second Edition
versions. They are categorized by platform.

The only change in the box art is the inclusion, in small letters along the

helpful but better than nothing.
In addition, the Platinum Hits version of San Andreas is also the Second
Edition version.

If there was a silver lining to the whole "Hot Coffee" controversy, it was
that Rockstar had the opportunity to fix major bugs that were reported in
the AO Version of the game.
This included the Off-Map Glitch for the Original Xbox and PC version of
San Andreas. This was the only major change for the Xbox Second Edition.

The packaging for the Second Edition is much different than the regular
packaging. The case is thicker and the main lettering is in gold.
The game comes with two discs. There is the game disc and there is a second
disc that contains three movies:
>>"The Introduction"
******************
A short film that was originally included with the soundtrack box set.
This film chronicles the events leading up to the beginning of the
game.
>>"Sunday Driver"
***************
A short documentary about a low rider club.
>>"Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories"
****************************************
The trailer for the popular PlayStation Portable (PSP) game that would
later be released for the PlayStation 2.

If there was a silver lining to the whole "Hot Coffee" controversy, it was
that Rockstar had the opportunity to fix major bugs that were reported in
the AO Version of the game.
This included the mission "Supply Lines" for the PlayStation 2. Since the
fuel problem never happened in either the Original Xbox and PC ports then
this leaves the PS2 AO Version as the only version with this bug.
0============================0
| Secret Pay 'N' Spray Closed \
0===============================================>
In the Original version there was a secret Pay 'N' Spray just east of The
Strip in Las Venturas. This was also a place where you could enter Grey
Hell (where the door meets the ground). In the Xbox and PC versions the
door remains closed so you can't enter. On the PS2 Second Edition version
not only is the door closed but all of the signage has been removed.
0==========================0
| Pool Playing Glitch Fixed \
0===============================================>
According to multiple forum posters, Rockstar fixed the Pool Playing
Glitch. In the Original version, if you pointed a gun at people in a bar
where there is a pool table you can play, then you would not be able to
play pool anywhere in the game ever again. Rockstar went and fixed that.
0=======================0
| Icon For Cluckin' Bell \
0===============================================>
There is now an icon for the Cluckin' Bell south of the Movie Studio in
Market (Los Santos). In the Original Version the Icon for this Cluckin'
Bell was missing.
0=========================0
| Girlfriend Glitch Fixed? \
0===============================================>
Many people have had problems getting their Girlfriends to show up when
they are supposed to in the Original version.
However, according to quest78, who posted his find at the GameFAQs Message
Boards, he noticed that he no longer had any problems getting the
Girlfriends to show up when he got the Second Edition version.
I have not verified this myself since I never played around with the
Girlfriend feature but this info looked solid enough to include in this
document.

In this chapter I go over technical data on the various platforms that "Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas" has been released for and can be played on:

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.10.A. PlayStation 2 \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
0========0
| Overall \
0=====================================>
The graphics for the PlayStation 2 version of San Andreas appear to be less
clean than the PlayStation 2 version of Vice City. But it is still
impressive.
However, there has been complaints about it being very orange in Los Santos
and darker in most other areas (regardless of whether or not you view it in
Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video or RGB Analog Video).
The controls are pretty solid and are improved from Vice City. In addition,
the sound is pretty solid and haven't encountered any problems with it.
The PS2 version runs fairly well though it tends to chug in a few spots on
the map (an intersection in Ocean Docks is one example). Sudden pop-ins are
a bit of a problem especially when flying fast aircraft (like smacking into
a tree you can't see because it has not loaded yet). Texture loading is
pretty smooth but not as fast when using aircraft (within cities).
0====================0
| Xploder HDTV Player \
0=====================================>
Xploder HDTV Player is a disc that will allow PlayStation 2 owners to play
most of their games in Progressive Scan mode. Many games will work but some
of them will have issues.
"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" works great in 480p mode. However, the main
title intro will be a little glitchy because of "line meshing issues". This
is because the intro is actually a "film" instead of using the game
graphics. It is to my understanding that XHDTV doesn't handle film based
stuff well and that results in the jittery looking intro.
But this is actually a minor problem since you can easily skip the opening
credits by pressing X. Once you get past the intro then all is good.
Because the graphics are designed for 480 vertical resolution, it is not
recommended that you put San Andreas in any mode higher than 480p. The
higher resolution modes, like 720p, simply shoehorn the 480 graphics into
the higher end modes and tend to really squash the screen.
0=========0
| HDLoader \
0=====================================>
This program, which has been floating around the internet for years, will
let you install your favorite games onto a hard drive (assuming you have an
older style PS2 "Fatty" (with a Network Adapter) or an early version of a
PS2 "Slim" that has been modified to use a hard drive).
There are two variants of this program. The first variant is HDLoader which
is freeware and HDAdvance which is not. It is best to use HDLoader since it
is free and gets updated from time to time to improve compatibility and
functionality.
HDLoader is best installed with a popular memory card exploit known as Free
McBoot. It is how I am using HDLoader now (with a 160GB hard drive).
San Andreas, from what I know, has always been compatible with the earliest
versions of HDAdvance and HDLoader. Why install the game on a hard drive?
For starters, less wear and tear on the DVD-ROM mechanism (that is assuming
if it still works - thankfully you can install games onto the hard drive
from a PC as an option).
But mainly it is for faster loading speeds. Listed below is the speed
difference with HDLoader in certain situations:
>>After selecting the game in the HDLoader menu, it takes less than five
seconds to get to the logo screen since it doesn't do the PlayStation 2
splash screen.
>>The initial load is a little faster and smoother.
>>Entering/exiting buildings and closets are much faster.
>>Loading up missions and cutscenes are faster.
>>Loading up game saves is much faster.
>>Going into the pause menu is much faster.
>>Texture loading is faster (but there still are a few areas that have
some problems loading in a timely manner).
>>Object loading is much faster (reducing the chances of hitting
invisible objects - objects that are "there" but you can't see because
the graphic hasn't loaded up yet).
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.10.B. PlayStation 3 \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Some of the earlier PlayStation 3 units available offer backwards
compatibility with the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 games. At this time I
do not have a PlayStation 3.
However, I had a reader, Ben Riemer, who has a PlayStation 3, offer me his
assessment of San Andreas on the PS3:
"I would say the graphics are worst in the PS3 version than the PS2
version because the PS3 does not do a good job on rendering graphics.
The HUD does not look as smooth as it would on the PS2 or Xbox version
of the game. The games lags in more places too. The game lags when you
are going off hills in the NW area of San Fierro. Since the sixaxis
controller doesn't rumble, that is a lost too. I haven't tried it with
the new dualshock controllers yet, because I do not own one. However,
other than that, the game is the same as it was on the PS2. My PS3 is
the old 20GB version of the system and I played at standard defintion
(480i)."
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.10.C. Original Xbox \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
0========0
| Overall \
0=====================================>
The graphics on the Xbox version aren't that radically better than the PS2
version but animates more smoothly than on the Xbox version of Vice City.
This is probably due to the new engine for San Andreas.
In addition, the Xbox version has greater draw distance and is much
brighter than the PS2 version. Oh and let's not forget Progressive Scan
(Component Video only) for the Xbox version.
The sound quality is about the same between the PS2 and Xbox versions of
San Andreas. The Xbox version gets a slight edge due to its custom
soundtrack feature.
The controls is where the Xbox version is clearly inferior to the PS2
version. The use of the White and Black buttons for flying and drive-bys
makes some missions more difficult than on its PS2 counterpart.
Rockstar had to make do with what was given to them but the ambitiousness
of San Andreas had to have made it difficult for them to come up with a
proper control scheme.
The Xbox version runs fairly smooth though it tends to chug when you fly
through clouds. There aren't as much sudden pop-ins but texture loading is
slower (you can outrun the texture loading (in a city) when using a fast
motorcycle).
It is unclear whether the Thompson drives (which did not like my GTA3 and
Vice City games thus forcing me to trade in my initial Xbox) would properly
load up San Andreas.
0==========================================0
| Original Xbox and PS2 Version Differences \
0===========================================================>
At this time there are a couple of differences between the PS2 and Xbox
versions:
++Shady Industries in San Fierro is now called Solarin Industries.
++The secret Pay 'N' Spray east of The Strip in Las Venturas (found in
the Original PS2 version) has been deactivated. It should be noted that
it was completely removed in the PS2 Second Edition version.

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.10.D. Xbox 360 \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The Original Xbox version of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" works with the
latest Backward Compatibility updates for the Xbox 360 (you need the Hard
Drive to play Original Xbox games on the X360).
You can play San Andreas in many different resolutions depending on your
monitor or HDTV setup. Unlike "Grand Theft Auto III" and "Grand Theft Auto:
San Andreas", the main title intro for San Andreas plays flawlessly.
San Andreas looks great in 640x480 (although it is pillarboxed on my NEC
MultiSync 3D) and looks better in 1024x768. However, at that high a
resolution, you may notice a little bit of jagginess here and there due to
the upscaling of the graphics.
The emulator for San Andreas runs this game pretty well. I have yet to
encounter any slowdown (even in the clouds).
However, texture loading is terrible. This is probably a combination of the
DVD-ROM drive, the emulator and the fact that Original Xbox games can't use
the hard drive for caching when played on the Xbox 360.
There are three things to know about playing San Andreas on the Xbox 360:
>>You can't do custom soundtracks like you could on the Original Xbox.
>>You can't transfer game saves to an external memory card for safekeeping.
>>You can't transfer games saves from the Original Xbox to the Xbox 360.
But one good thing about playing San Andreas on the Xbox 360 is that the
White and Black buttons (from the Original Xbox controller) are replaced by
the Left and Right Buttons which are situated above the Left and Right
Triggers on the Xbox 360 pad. This makes it much easier to fly aircraft.
Sadly, even if you use a USB-to-Xbox adapter, you cannot use an Xbox 360
controller with the Original Xbox.

One of the major things that has been added to the GTA series is something
called Stats. Stats adds an RPG element to your character and there are many
things that you can change to make your character better (or worse).
Most of the upgrades to your Stats are permanent although some can change one
way or the other depending on certain physical activities.
From this point forward you will see me write about certain Stats starting
with the next chapter.....

\=========================================================================/
Although the manual covers the setup pretty good, I felt that I should
include a section on controls for those who have acquired used copies of San
Andreas that have no manuals.
I have also included basic action, vehicle and Stats information with their
respective control schemes.

| A.12.A. On Foot \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
As with any GTA game, there are plenty of things you can do when on foot.
And, by doing certain activities on foot, then you can increase your Stamina
and Health Stats.
Increasing your Stamina will allow you to sprint longer on foot, in the water
and on a bicycle. However you can gain Infinite Stamina by successfully
completing the "Burglar" Mission (explained later).
Over the course of doing physical activities you may also see your Health
Stat increase. This increases your maximum health and you will see the Health
Bar lengthen slightly. You can also max out your Health Stat by successfully
completing the Ambulance Mission.

follows the Third Person control style found in most Third Person
games.
[2] - If you hold down the Run button too long then you will tire and have to
rest before you can run again. Tapping the button in rhythm will serve
to help you run a little longer. The more times you run, the more you
increase your Stamina Stat. You can get Infinite Stamina by
successfully completing the "Burglar" Mission.
[3] - When near a wall then you press the button to grab the wall and press
the button again to climb the wall. When fighting hand-to-hand then you
press the button to block their physical attacks.
[4] - When holding a melee weapon (like a bat) or using your Fist then the
Attack Button is used to swing at your target.
When using Grenades or Tear Gas then the same button is used to throw
your weapon at the target. The longer you hold, the farther you throw.
When holding a gun (like a Silenced Pistol) or a heavy weapon (like a
RPG) then you use the Attack Button to shoot. Use the Target
Button in conjunction to aim at your enemy.
When used with a Camera then the Attack Button is used to take
pictures.
[5] - When outside of a vehicle then you can see how your Stats are shaping
up. When targeting with a weapon then this also becomes a handy fire
button depending on your particular comfort level. This button is also
used to buy property when you approach a Property Icon.
[6] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Left Button which is situated above the
Left Trigger.
[7] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Right Button which is situated above the

| A.12.C. Swimming \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Unlike most of the GTA games, your main character can swim. This can be
pretty useful for eluding pursuit and general exploring.
Swimming underwater will gradually increase your Lung Capacity Stat which
will allow you to stay underwater for long periods of time. This is very
helpful for acquiring Oysters which are found in the water all around San
Andreas.
You can also max out your Lung Capacity Stat and increasing your Sex Appeal
by collecting all of the Oysters found around the San Andreas area.

| A.12.D. Bicycles \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
In San Andreas you can use Bicycles. Bicycles also have skills that can be
upgraded. The more you ride a bike, the better you become. The better your
Cycling Skill, the less likely you will fall off by going backwards.
You will also increase your ability to do Bunny-Hops which is jumping with
your bike straight up in the air.
When you get onto a bike then press Pedal to move forward. To sprint, tap
Pedal faster and you will see him stand on the bike and pedal really fast.
You can actually go quite a distance this way.
To Bunny-Hop, hold L1 (PS2) or B (Xbox) then release to jump. The higher your
Cycling Skill, the higher you will jump.
If you happen to come to a stop when you climbing a steep incline then
rapidly tap Pedal to shoot yourself up the incline. This skill will come in
handy for the BMX Challenge later.
Be careful when going at top speed. If you smack into a pedestrian then you
will wreck (as well as killing the pedestrian).
When you max out your Cycling Skill then you can do very high Bunny-Hops. It
is best to max out your Cycling Skill before doing the BMX Challenge in Los
Santos.

| A.12.E. In Cars, Motorcycles and Boats \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
As with all the other GTAs, there are plenty of cars and other vehicles to
use in San Andreas. From junkers and gang cars to the fanciest sports cars.
They are all represented.
When you first start the game and enter a car then you will see that the car
might not handle too well. This is not necessarily because of the car itself
but because it is that you don't have any Driving Skill.
The more you drive around in a car, the more you increase your Driving Skill.
The higher your Driving Skill, the better the car begins to handle (although
that is open for debate).
I should note that it takes a very long time to max out your Driving Skill
but you can speed that up by doing the Driving School which opens up later in
the game.
The same principle goes for Bike (Motorcycle) Skill. The more you ride around
on a Motorcycle, the better the handling.
In addition, you won't fall off as easily when struck. Maxing out your Bike
Skill doesn't take nowhere near as long as does the Driving Skill but it will
take some time to do.
You may want to max out your Bike Skill first if you want to do the Vigilante
Mission on the Cop Motorcycle.
The fastest way to max out your Bike Skill is to do the Bike School in Las
Venturas after completion of the mission "Yay Ka Boom Boom" (Loco Syndicate).
Just like in most of the other GTAs, the motorcycles are great for
exploration, jumping and looking cool on. The single biggest advantage to the
bikes is the fact that you can shoot forward (using a submachine gun) while
riding one.
However, there are a couple of disadvantages. First, it is much easier for a
cop to knock you off and bust you than if he busts you in a car. Second, you
can easily wipe out or get knocked off by other motorists if you're not
careful.
But let's not forget the boats. Because of the vast amount of water all
around San Andreas, there are plenty of boats to use. From sailboats and
speedboats to yachts and hovercrafts.
Although there are no Sailing Stats, you still need to complete the Boat
School for 100% Completion.

[1] - You use this to control the main Camera inside and outside of vehicles.
When in certain vehicles, like the Firetruck, then you use this to aim
the turret. You also use this to control the camera when in Cinematic
Camera Mode.
[2] - You use this in conjunction with the Look Left and Look Right Buttons
to attack from either side of the car.
On a motorcycle you can press this button by itself to fire forward.
When not doing a Drive-By then this will also activate the Nitros on
any Nitros installed vehicle.
[3] - When using the User Track Station (custom soundtrack feature) then you
use the following commands to control your music:
Hold Directional Pad Left to go to previous track.
Hold Directional Pad Right to go to next track.
Hold Directional Pad Up to change to previous user soundtrack.
Hold Directional Pad Down to change to next user soundtrack.
**NOTE: This is not available when playing San Andreas on the Xbox 360.
[4] - According to Allan Curtis, when you fail a mission and start it again
then you may get the Trip Skip icon. When you press it then you will
automatically go to the mission location instead of having to drive to
it again. However, this only occurs on certain missions like "Badlands"
(C.R.A.S.H.) where you have to drive a considerable distance to get to
your destination.
[5] - On the Monster trucks this activates the 4-Wheel Steering. This will
allow you to turn the truck on a dime.
[6] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Left Button which is situated above the
Left Trigger.
[7] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Right Button which is situated above the

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.12.F. In Planes (and Skydiving) \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Another vehicle related Stat you can increase is the Flying Skill. The more
you fly a plane, or helicopter, the more you increase this Skill.
When you reach about 20% through maxing your Flying Skill then you will get
your Pilot's License and the gates to the runways to all three airports will
open and you will have an easier time getting to an airplane.
You can increase your Flying Skill quickly by doing the Flight School which
is opened up later in the game.
However, you can still upgrade your Flying Skill while still confined in Los
Santos. Get a car and go to the runway gate near the pink and green Nude Shop
in El Corona.
Put the vehicle up against the wall and climb on top of the car then climb
the wall. Then go around the chain-link fences and go to the west end of the
airport where you will see a jet (the Shamal).
**IMPORTANT: On the Xbox AO Version you have to be careful when trying to
upgrade your Flying Skill early. You may risk triggering what is
known as the Off-Map Glitch (explained earlier) and you will
screw yourself out of game completion. This has been confirmed
fixed for the Xbox SE Version.
If you accidentally fly into an Unwelcome Area then you will get a 4-Star
Wanted Rating and you will chased by a fighter jet and be shot at by heat
seeking missiles.
Maxing out your Flying Skill won't nearly take as long as maxing your Driving
Skill especially with a jet. Maxing out your Flying Skill will automatically
give you a Parachute every time you jump out of a plane regardless of whether
or not you had one when you entered the plane.
If you want to skydive then press Exit Vehicle while in an airplane high in
the air. Push forward on the Left Analog Stick to fall faster. Press Attack
to deploy the Parachute.
You can control your direction with the Left Analog Stick. To slow your
descent then pull back on the stick. You can actually fly pretty far this
way.
If you have a Wanted Level while in the air then you will be vulnerable to
Police attacks because you can't use weapons while parachuting.
If you haven't maxed out your Flying Skill then you may want to find where
the Parachute Icons are before flying.

| A.12.K. In the Rhino \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Although the Rhino looks cooler than in the last two chapters of GTA (it
looks similar to an M1 Abrams), it is also clearly the weakest. It is much
easier to destroy and the camera is linked to the turret thus making it quite
difficult to do the Tank Gun Boost.
But you can still do the Tank Gun Boost if you switch to either the First
Person or Cinematic view once the turret is pointing behind you. This will
lock the turret in place. Thanks to Diego Mendez who found this out and was
relayed to me by Glen T. Winstein.
However, one little advantage is that you can shoot down low flying
helicopters in the Rhino because you can use the Right Analog Stick to aim
the gun upward.
You can earn this tank by taking one during a 6-Star Wanted Rating, from
Restricted Area (Desert) or by obtaining 100% Completion where one will
spawn near the Johnson residence in Ganton (Los Santos).

It should be noted that due to the difficulty of flying and doing drive-bys
with the standard Xbox controller it is HIGHLY recommended that you use
either a third party controller that has extra White and Black shoulder
buttons or a PS2-to-Xbox controller adapter (which will map the White and
Black buttons to L1 and R1 respectively). I used a PS2-to-Xbox controller
adapter while playing through the Xbox version.
Those who play San Andreas (Xbox) on the Xbox 360 will have a much easier
time because of where the White and Black buttons are remapped.

| A.13. The Main Screen [MNSC] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Your Main Screen is where all of the action in San Andreas take place.
In the center of your screen is your main character, Carl Johnson. You use
your Left Analog Stick to move him around and the Right Analog Stick to
rotate and manipulate the camera.
In the lower left corner of the Main Screen is the Radar. This is used to
help in finding your current position in the city, objectives, mission
strands and Safehouses.
In the upper right corner of the Main Screen you will find the game clock,
your Health Bar, your Armor Bar (when you have Armor), Swimming Stamina Bar
(when you are in the water), your money and the weapon or item you are
currently holding.
Special prompts will appear at either the upper left corner of the Main
Screen or at the bottom.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.14. Game Menus [GMNU] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
When you pause the game, using the Start Button, then you also bring up these
menus listed at the bottom of the screen:
>>Game
****
This is where you load game saves, delete game saves or start a new
game.
>>Brief
*****
This is where you can go through the text used in the cutscenes,
missions and outside of missions.
>>Map
***
This shows the Main Map of San Andreas. This is where you can find your
position, mission strands and other notable places.
>>Stats
*****
This is where the statistics for everything you do are listed.
>>Controller
**********
This is where you can see the control scheme.
>>Audio
*****
This is where you control the audio in San Andreas and listen to some
of the radio stations featured in the game (including the one you make
yourself (Original Xbox version)).
>>Gallery
*******
This is where you can look at the pictures you have taken with your
Camera and saved to your Memory Card or Hard Drive.
>>Display

| A.15. Eating and Food [ETFD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Another thing you will need to do during the course of the game is to eat. If
you go too long without eating you will get hungry and start to lose energy.
However, you lose energy very slowly so, even if you are out in the middle of
nowhere, then you can easily go and get food without starving to death. And
you don't even have to eat a lot either. A simple snack will do to keep from
going hungry.
Eating is the only way to get your Health back up to its current maximum.
There are very few Health Icons in San Andreas unlike all the other GTAs.
If you wish to make CJ muscular then you will need to eat large amounts of
large meals to get Fat so you can go to the Gym to convert it into Muscle.
Eat too many meals in one day however (about 11) and he will throw up.
You can also eat meals that can keep you from going hungry but without adding
to your Fat. A Salad Meal at any of the fast food places will do the trick.
There are three types of fast food restaurants in San Andreas. The
restaurants listed below are opened during and after completion of the
mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson). Each place has a Map Icon for easy location:
>>The Well Stacked Pizza Co.
**************************
Map Icon: Pizza Slice.
>>Cluckin' Bell
*************
Map Icon: Chicken Head.
>>Burger Shot
***********
Map Icon: Hamburger.
There are four meals you can choose from in each place:
>>Small Meal (adds a little bit of Fat)
>>Medium Meal (adds a little more Fat than the Small Meal)
>>Large meal (has the most Fat)
>>Salad meal (has no Fat)
There are also Snack and Sprunk Machines plus Food Stands and Hot Dog Vans
spread throughout San Andreas that you can use to keep from going hungry.
They are open from the beginning of the game and their locations will be
listed in each major section of the guide.
You can get fat from using these Machines and Vans but it will take awhile to
build up a sizable Fat Stat this way. However, you can use these machines,
along with the Beach Gym at Santa Maria Beach (Los Santos), to help build up
some muscle before you open up any of the restaurants and gyms.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.16. Respect [RSPT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
"Respect is everything" went the tagline for "Grand Theft Auto 2".
And it has been resurrected for "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". Having
respect will allow you to easily recruit gang members for various activities,
getting Girlfriends and will impact how people look at you.
Some of the things that change your Respect are:
>>Killing Cops and rival gang members.
>>Progressing through the Main Story Missions.
>>Doing certain Missions.
But there are other things that can affect your Respect.....
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.16.A. Fat, Muscle Stats and Gyms \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Two of the Stats that will change most often is the Fat and Muscle Stats. If
you eat a lot of meals and don't do any physical activities you will get
pudgy. This will negatively impact your ability to run and jump plus people
will make unflattering comments about you.
In addition, the stuff CJ says will change. For example, he will say things
like "Lunch money", "This should help keep my belly full" and "I'm gonna
spend this on a good meal" when he picks up money. If you get a 100% Fat Stat
then CJ will be obese.
You can change this by doing physical activities like bicycling or working
out at the local Gym. When working out at the Gym then you can change the Fat
into Muscle.
If you work out at the Gym long enough then you can make CJ really buffed and
ripped. This will also make your physical attacks a lot more damaging and
you increase your Sex Appeal which will help with getting certain
Girlfriends.
You can burn off the Fat without building Muscle. You can do things like
swimming and bicycling to do this.
Once you burn off the Fat, however, then you will then start burning off the
Muscle until CJ is skinny again. If you want to keep CJ with some degree of
muscular build then you will have to balance eating and working out.
There are four Gyms you can use to work out CJ:
0===============================0
| Santa Maria Beach (Los Santos) \
0===============================================>
This is open from the beginning of the game and, with the use of the Snack
and Sprunk Machines, you can gain a lot of muscle before doing any of the
Main Story Missions.
**NOTE: There is no Gym Icon for this location on the in-game and printed
Map.
0====================0
| Ganton (Los Santos) \
0===============================================>
This is opened after completion of the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet
Johnson).
0================================0
| Cobra Martial Arts (San Fierro) \
0===============================================>
This is opened after completion of the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet Johnson)
but you won't be able to access it until after completion of the mission
"The Green Sabre" (Sweet Johnson).
0=============================0
| Redsands East (Las Venturas) \
0===============================================>
This is opened after completion of the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet Johnson)
but you won't be able to access it until after completion of the mission
"Yay Ka Boom Boom" (Loco Syndicate).
When you enter the Gym, there are several activities you can do:
>>Stationary Bike
***************
You use this to increase your Stamina. There are ten levels you can
select to help you get the most from using the bike.
>>Treadmill
*********
You use this to increase your Stamina. There are ten levels you can
select. The higher you go, the faster CJ has to run to keep up
otherwise he will fall off the Treadmill.
>>Bench Press
***********
You use this to gain Muscle. Select the weight you want to try and tap
X and Circle (PS2) or A and B (Xbox) alternatively and quickly to make
CJ do reps.
>>Dumbbells
*********
You use this to gain Muscle. Select the weight you want to try and tap
X and Circle (PS2) or A and B (Xbox) alternatively and quickly to make
CJ do reps.
>>Trainers
********
You can also learn new fighting moves from the Trainers in each Gym
(except for the Santa Maria Beach Gym). It is also a requirement for
100% Completion. You have to defeat the Trainer in order to learn the
moves.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.16.B. Clothes and Clothes Stores \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
In San Andreas you can change clothes to change how you look in the game just
like in Vice City. Unlike Vice City, however, you can change your appearance
in more ways than you can imagine. You can change shirts, pants, wear
necklaces, change shoes, wear hats, etc.
For those who want to go topless (if you have muscles and tattoos you want to
show off), go into your closet and use Remove Item to take off shirts and
jackets. You can also use this method to make CJ go (almost) completely naked
if desired.
Getting better clothes is one way to increase your Respect (as explained
above) and increases your chances of getting a Girlfriend (if you wish to
pursue one).
And, you can also change clothes to get rid of Wanted Ratings. But you don't
need to change the entire outfit. You can just switch one item to get rid of
the Ratings.
In San Andreas, there are many places where you can get new clothes once you
have opened up the stores. Each store is represented by a shirt icon on your
map (and listed in each major section in the guide):
0======0
| Binco \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "More trash for less cash."
Notes: A budget clothes shop that looks like a thrift store more than
anything else. But you can get some decent clothes here, just not
very stylish clothes. This is where you can get green clothes for
representing Grove Street.
0========0
| ProLaps \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "Train Hard."
Notes: A sports clothes shop where you can get anything from expensive
sneakers to team jerseys. A lot of gangbangers like to wear sports
related stuff. You can gain additional respect with certain items
here.
0=========0
| SubUrban \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "...come to where it's apparently at."
Notes: A trendy hip-hop clothes shop. Most of the clothes are based on what
the hot music acts are wearing. Additional respect can be gained by
use of some of the items here.
0====0
| Zip \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Are You Going To San Fierro?" (The Truth).
Motto: "Clothing to get your teeth into."
Notes: A mid-range clothes shop. Better than Binco but not as good as the
others.
0=======0
| Victim \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Learning To Fly" (Completion of Flight School).
Motto: "To die for."
Notes: A high class and expensive clothes shop. Clothes based on the rich
fashion styles can be bought here. A lot of respect can be bought
here too.
0=============0
| Didier Sachs \
0=====================================>
Opens: After "Saint Mark's Bistro" (Caligula's Palace).
Motto: "For those with discriminating taste."
Notes: A high class and expensive clothes shop. The best of everything, and
the most respect, can be bought here. Of course, you'll also spend
the most money but prestige doesn't come cheap.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.16.C. Haircuts and Tattoos \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The following places will let you change certain aspects of your physical
appearance:
0=============0
| Barber Shops \
0=====================================>
This is where you can change hairstyles. You open up the Barber Shops when
you do the mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson).
There a quite a few hairstyles you can choose from but you can probably get
the best results (in terms of increasing your Respect) from getting the
most expensive style. You can also get rid of a Wanted Rating by getting a
haircut.
They are represented by a scissors icon on your in-game map.
0===============0
| Tattoo Parlors \
0=====================================>
Another way to change appearance is to get tattooed (no, not that kind of
tattooed although I don't think you can get drunk or stoned in this game).
No, I mean as in ink. Usually the more expensive and elaborate tattoos will
be the ones that will increase your Respect the most. These shops open
after completion of the mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson).
They are represented by a "T" (Olde English Font) on your in-game map.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.16.D. Sex Appeal \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Changing your appearance will not only increase (or decrease) your Respect
but will also change your Sex Appeal. The higher your Sex Appeal, the greater
your chances of getting a Girlfriend (if you want one) or having "coffee"
when you do have one.
You can also change your Sex Appeal by getting into a better car as well. A
good, solid, pimped-out car will really jack up your Sex Appeal (along with
good appearance).
You can also greatly increase your Sex Appeal by collecting all 50 Oysters
found around San Andreas.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.16.E. Girlfriends \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
As noted above, a solid level of respect can help you get a Girlfriend if you
wish to have one. However, you will get two of them simply by playing through
the Main Story Missions.
But there are several more that can be found around San Andreas. Some of
them even allow you to gain special abilities (such as being able to keep
your weapons if you are Wasted or Busted).
And, according to Jordan Knupp, if you date a girlfriend on one game, then
the bonuses from the girlfriend carry over to the other games.
However, obtaining additional Girlfriends doesn't contribute to 100%
Completion so I am not going to cover them in this guide.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.17. Law Enforcement [LWFM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
The main enemies in the Grand Theft Auto games are the Police. They were
fairly aggressive but stupid and predictable. They were also fun to mess
around with like playing demolition derby with them at the 4-Star Wanted
Rating.
In San Andreas, however, that's all changed. Here the Cops are FAR more
aggressive and intelligent.
Even at the lowest wanted level they will take cover, block your physical
attacks and even shoot at you. In other words, playtime's over. Now things
get serious when dealing with the law.
They even have more vehicles (details a little later) including Motorcycle
Cops who will shoot at your car to try to slow you down if they are chasing
you (I hate those bastards. They really take the fun out of car chases).
When you do something bad near a Cop, like mugging a person, then one of the
stars at the bottom of the HUD will light up indicating a Wanted Level. The
Cops will then try to bust you.
The more stars you have, the more aggressive they will be. There are several
ways to get rid of a Wanted Rating.....
>>Hiding out somewhere for a bit (depending on what you've done, this
will work for up to 4-Stars).
>>Getting a Police Bribe Icon (drops the level down a notch).
>>Completing the current mission (if you get a rating during one).
>>Getting busted or wasted.
>>Driving a car (excluding rescue and most Police vehicles) into a Pay 'N'
Spray. You can also get rid of a Wanted Rating by getting a mod done to
your car at a Mod Shop. Thanks to Glen T. Winstein for that bit of
info.
>>Changing clothes at any Safe House. This will work all the way up to
6-Star. It should be noted that you have to change items for this to
work. It won't work if you use Remove Item. Thanks to CDNW for that
handy bit of information.
>>Saving your game at any Safe House. This will work all the way up to
6-Star. Thanks again goes to CDNW.
>>Getting a haircut at any Barber Shop. Thanks to Glen T. Winstein for
that bit of info.
There are six Wanted Levels. The higher you go, the more aggressive the
pursuit. Below are the six Wanted Ratings and what you can expect:
0=======0
| 1-Star \
0=====================================>
You are of mild interest to the Cops. They will chase you on foot and will
whack you with their nightsticks when close enough.
They will chase you for some distance on foot unless you get a car and make
a fast getaway. If you attack a Cop with your Fist or Melee Weapon then a
nearby Cop may shoot at you.
When fleeing in a car then Motorcycle Cops may shoot at you to try to get
you to stop. Hiding out somewhere for awhile will get rid of a 1-Star
rating but may take awhile depending on what you've done.
0=======0
| 2-Star \
0=====================================>
Things get a bit more serious here. The number of Cops increase a bit and
they will start shooting you instead of whacking you with their clubs.
Motorcycle Cops will shoot at your car to try to stop you. You may be able
to wait things out in a safe area but this may take a long time depending
on your crimes.
0=======0
| 3-Star \
0=====================================>
More Cops will join the fray and a helicopter will start pursuing you and
will shoot at you if you stand still long enough for it to do so.
The Cops become more fearless and will stand in the open shooting at you in
an attempt to stop you. Don't be surprised to find several Cops standing
there using you as target practice if you poke your head out of a safe
area.
Your best bet to get rid of a 3-Star Wanted Rating is to use a Pay 'N'
Spray.
0=======0
| 4-Star \
0=====================================>
Now a second helicopter and the SWAT team joins in. They will try to
blockade the road with their Enforcers and rappel down from the helicopter.
They are heavily armed with powerful sub-machine guns that will make quick
work of your vehicle when encountering a SWAT roadblock. I've had a many as
eight Cops standing in the open taking shots at me (and making the most of
them) at 4-Star.
If you're in a aircraft then you will be shot at by missiles and be chased
by fighter jets.
This is the highest wanted level you can obtain while confined to Los
Santos.
0=======0
| 5-Star \
0=====================================>
Now the FBI joins the pursuit with their FBI Ranchers. You can achieve this
rating after completion of the mission "Farewell, My Love..." (Cesar
Vialpando). There is also a Stat for how long you can maintain a chase with
a 5-Star Wanted Rating.
0=======0
| 6-Star \
0=====================================>
The Army finally gets in on the fun here. They will come with Flatbeds and
Rhinos and will kill you on sight. Considering how aggressive the Cops are
in San Andreas your chances for survival with a 6-Star Wanted Rating for
more than a few seconds are very slim and probably none.
Of course, that also depends on where you hole yourself up at and what
weapons you have at your disposal. A couple of people have written me
telling me how much fun they had with a 6-Star Wanted Rating.
You can achieve this rating after the completion of the mission "Verdant
Meadows" (Mike Toreno).
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.17.A. Police Vehicles \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Like in the other Grand Theft Auto games, you can grab Police Vehicles and
use them in Vigilante Missions (explained later). And there are a lot of
Police Vehicles you can use for that purpose:
0===========0
| Police Car \
0=====================================>
Found: On the street and at all Police Stations only in the major cities of
San Andreas.
Notes: You get five Shotgun shells when entering a Police car. If you don't
already have a Shotgun then you can get a Shotgun with five shells.
0===========================0
| HPV-1000 Police Motorcycle \
0=====================================>
Found: In the street only in the major cities of San Andreas.
Notes: You can shoot forward when riding this motorcycle which can make it
easier to do the Vigilante Mission.
0=========0
| Predator \
0=====================================>
Found: In the water around San Andreas.
0==============0
| SWAT Enforcer \
0=====================================>
Found: During a 4-Star Wanted Rating.
Notes: As a bonus, you can get Body Armor when entering a SWAT Enforcer.
0===============0
| Police Rancher \
0=====================================>
Found: On the street only in the rural areas of San Andreas.
Notes: You get five Shotgun shells when entering a Police Rancher. If you
don't already have a Shotgun then you can get a Shotgun with five
shells.
0============0
| FBI Rancher \
0=====================================>
Found: During a 5-Star Wanted Rating.
0=========0
| Barracks \
0=====================================>
Found: During a 6-Star Wanted Rating.
0======0
| Rhino \
0=====================================>
Found: During a 6-Star Wanted Rating - also unlocked at Restricted Area
(Desert) after completion of the mission "Verdant Meadows" (Mike
Toreno) or by getting 100% Completion where one will spawn near the
Johnson residence in Ganton (Los Santos).
0================0
| Police Maverick \
0=====================================>
Found: On the roof of Los Santos Police HQ.
Notes: Press R3 (PS2) or Right Analog Stick Button (Xbox) to activate
searchlight. Thanks to Nick Markovich for finding that.
0=======0
| Hunter \
0=====================================>
Found: Unlocked at the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard by getting all
Golds at the Flight School.
The Hunter is definitely the best vehicle to use for the Vigilante Missions
although using the Cop Motorcycle or Rhino is also a good way to do this
mission (more details later).
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.18. Using a Pay 'N' Spray [USPS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
As noted earlier, you can drive a car or motorcycle, excluding Police and
rescue vehicles, into a Pay 'N' Spray to change the color of your vehicle, as
well as repair it, to get rid of Wanted Ratings at a cost of $100.
When you use the Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of your Wanted Ratings then the
Wanted Rating Stars will flash for a short time. While they are flashing, you
are then considered to be on "probation".
If you commit a crime, like running over someone, while the Wanted Rating
Stars are flashing, then your Wanted Rating will be reinstated.
All Pay 'N' Sprays are open from the beginning of the game and are
represented by a green spray can on your in-game map.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.19. Busted [BSTD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
If you get a Wanted Rating and the Cops end up catching you then you are
Busted. Any mission you were doing at the time will be Failed.
When you are Busted then you are sent to the nearest Police Station where you
will be processed (which takes six game hours) and released. You also lose
all weapons and your Body Armor.
In addition, you will be fined based on the number of Wanted Rating Stars you
have when you are Busted:
>>1-Star: $100.
>>2-Star: $200.
>>3-Star: $400.
>>4-Star: $600.
>>5-Star: $900.
>>6-Star: $1,500.
There are seven Police Stations in the San Andreas area where you may find
yourself if you are Busted by the Cops:
>>Los Santos Police Department HQ (Los Santos).
>>Dillimore Police Department (Red County).
>>Angel Pine Sheriff's Office (Whetstone).
>>San Fierro Police Station (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados Sheriff's Office (Tierra Robada).
>>Fort Carson Sheriff's Office (Bone County).
>>Las Venturas Police Station (Las Venturas).
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.20. Wasted [WSTD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
If you do something to reduce your Health to zero, like being too close to an
explosion or getting shot up a lot, then you will be Wasted. Any mission you
were doing at the time will be Failed.
When you are Wasted then you are sent to the nearest Hospital where you will
be treated (which takes six game hours), billed $100 and released. You also
lose all weapons and your Body Armor.
There are eight Hospitals in the San Andreas area where you may find yourself
if you are Wasted for any reason:
>>All Saints General Hospital (Los Santos).
>>County General (Los Santos).
>>Crippen Memorial (Red County).
>>Angel Pine Medical Center (Whetstone).
>>San Fierro Medical Center (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados Medical Center (Tierra Robada).
>>Fort Carson Medical Center (Bone County).
>>Las Venturas Hospital (Las Venturas).
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.21. Exploration and Unwelcome Areas [EXUA] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In most of the GTA games there were roadblocks that kept you confined to a
certain area of the city until you passed a particular mission in which case
one of the roadblocks would be removed.
Of course, they could be easily circumvented by a variety of exploits so you
could explore the rest of the city and obtain items which could be used in
the early stages of the game to make things easier on yourself.
With the swimming element introduced in San Andreas you can very easily get
around the roadblocks that are supposed to keep you confined to Los Santos.
However, Rockstar implemented something that will make you think twice about
leaving Los Santos early.
When you cross the water and enter an Unwelcome Area (like Las Venturas) then
you will be hit with a 4-Star Wanted Rating. As I've noted, this is a
difficult Wanted Rating to deal with. Worse still, Pay 'N' Sprays, Police
Bribes and even the Lower Wanted Level cheats WILL NOT work while in an
Unwelcome Area.
That's right. You're stuck with it until you go back to where you came from
so you can get rid of it. However, more than likely you will end up going
back in a body bag because of the very aggressive Police. This also makes
early exploration of an area very difficult.
However, because of the huge size of San Andreas, then being confined to Los
Santos really isn't a Bad Thing. The Los Santos / Red County area is much
larger than Vice City with plenty of area to explore.
San Andreas is also easier to deal with when you just focus on one area at a
time instead of trying to absorb it all at once.
But you can swim around these Unwelcome Areas without getting a 4-Star
Wanted Rating as long as you don't make landfall. The only exceptions is an
area on the west side of Los Santos Inlet and the area around the Aircraft
Carrier at San Fierro.
You can also fly around in the open water all around the San Andreas area
without getting the 4-Star Wanted Rating as long as you don't fly over land
or over the Aircraft Carrier at San Fierro.
You can still do some of the challenges and tasks in the Unwelcome Areas but
the 4-Star Wanted Rating will make them much more difficult and frustrating
(but, if you're looking for a nice challenge, then this might fit the bill).
However, over time, methods to explore the Unwelcome Areas without
interference were discovered which leads me to.....
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.22. Early Exploration Exploits [ERXP] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In earlier versions of the guide there were two exploits that allowed you to
go around all of San Andreas without Wanted Ratings.
The first one could be done during the mission "Reuniting The Families"
(Sweet Johnson) (discovered by The Chadness). The second exploit can be done
during the mission "The Da Nang Thang" (Wu Zi Mu) (discovered by David Sears
and Dr. Simon Chan). There was also another mission that you could use to do
early exploration, "Are You Going To San Fierro?" (The Truth).
These exploits froze the Wanted Ratings so, at some point during these given
missions, you could leave and do unlimited exploring before completing the
mission at hand.
I had felt that these were the only missions where you could do early
exploration with. I was wrong.
I received a letter from pdescobar who was inspired by this guide to go
around and find other missions where you could freeze the Wanted Ratings for
early exploration or general mischief. With the help of two other gamers, srg
and Mxyzptlk, they found quite a few missions where you could get the Wanted
Ratings frozen and listed them in a topic at GTAForums.com.
Although they listed many missions, I will focus only on those that allow for
easy early exploration (including those already listed in this guide):
>>"Drive-By" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Los Sepulcros" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Reuniting the Families" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Are You Going to San Fierro?" (The Truth)
>>"Mike Toreno" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Outrider" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Pier 69" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Amphibious Assault" (Wu Zi Mu)
>>"The Da Nang Thang" (Wu Zi Mu)
>>"Pier 69" (Loco Syndicate)
There are a few other missions where you can go and explore but they are
harder to take advantage of and I will leave those alone.
Some of these exploits, like the "Reuniting the Families" glitch, can leave
San Andreas a ghost town while others, like "The Da Nang Thang", will allow
you to kill pedestrians (for example) without generating Wanted Ratings.
These exploits are great for obtaining the Photo-Ops, Oysters and Horseshoes
without interference and before the Badlands and Desert areas are officially
open.
While there are some things you can do while exploring in an Unwelcome Area,
there are things you can't do such as:
>>Enter Gyms (they don't even appear on the map).
>>Do Challenges (such as the NRG-500 Challenge).
>>Arena Events.
But you can enter restaurants, casinos and Police stations. You can kill all
of the people in these places and not get into trouble (even in Police
stations - but you'll have to deal with the guards in the casinos and strip
clubs).
(I should point out that I had a reader tell me of some problems when he
entered and exited buildings when taking advantage of the Early Exploration
Exploit during the mission "Los Sepulcros" (Sweet Johnson)).
Even if you don't wish to do a lot of things around San Andreas when taking
advantage of these exploits, there are some things I highly recommend you do.
Normally, you will get at least a 4-Star Wanted Rating by going near the
Easter Bay Naval Station in San Fierro. There are two Oysters ([SNF-Y26],
[SNF-Y27]), one Photo-Op ([ESB-P30]) and a Patriot you will need to acquire
for later use.
With the Wanted Ratings disabled you should go ahead and get these things
from the Easter Bay Naval Station so you don't have to fight for them later
on. Store the Patriot at the Xoomer Garage across the street west of
Cranberry Station.
I should note that trying to acquire the Photo-Ops, Oysters and Horseshoes
will take a very long time to do in one sitting since you can't save in the
middle of the mission.
One option is to do some collecting and then fail the mission (easiest way is
to kill yourself). Then save your progress, do the mission again and
reactivate the exploit to continue exploring and collecting.
When you are finished exploring and doing the things you want to do then head
back to the mission you were in the middle of and finish it.
The missions listed above will have a small section called "Early Exploration
Exploit" which will show you how to take advantage of the exploits.
In addition, there are other missions late in the game where you can freeze
the Wanted Ratings:
>>"You've Had Your Chips" (The Four Dragons Casino)
>>"A Home in the Hills" (The Four Dragons Casino)
>>"Los Desperados" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"End of the Line" (Sweet Johnson)
The missions listed above will have a small section called "No Wanted Rating
Exploit" which will show you when they occur.

Below are some tips and additional information that will be of benefit to
you:
0==============0
| Crack Dealers \
0=====================================>
Sometimes you will see a black man with a black shirt (or a white guy with
a gray jacket with hood) just standing on the sidewalk with his arms
crossed.
He is a Crack Dealer. You can talk to him and give him either a
positive or negative response.
However, when you see one, then just run over him. When you kill a Crack
Dealer then he will drop a lot of money (about $2,000). A good way to earn
some fast cash.
0===========0
| Bomb Shops \
0=====================================>
Like in most GTA games, you can rig a car with a bomb so you can cause some
chaos or leave a nasty surprise for someone you dislike. However, there is
no icon on the in-game map for these places so you will have to look around
a bit.
These Bomb Shops are listed in the Points of Interest chapter at the
beginning of each major section.
Once a car is modified with a bomb then you prime it by using Circle (PS2)
or A/B (Xbox). Then sit back and watch the fun.

Los Santos, based on Los Angeles, is where you will spend a lot of time in.
There is plenty to see and do here. Most of the rich people live in the
Richman and Rodeo areas. A lot of the lower class people, including the
Families, live in the south and eastern parts of town.
To the north is Red County. It has lots of open countryside and small towns.
You can find plenty of places to hide from the Cops out here. The open spaces
also make it easier to do certain things, like the Vigilante Mission.

| B.3.A. Weapon Skill and Easy Upgrading \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Most of the weapons listed in this chapter have skills that can be upgraded.
When you first pick up a upgradable weapon, you will notice that it doesn't
feel all that special. But, when you reach Gangster Weapon Skill Level with
it, then you will see an improvement like being able to move while aiming and
shooting plus longer range.
When you reach Hitman Weapon Skill Level then you will have reached the
weapon's maximum skill. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached on certain
weapons then you can then duel-wield them, one to a hand, allowing you to
inflict a lot more damage.
You can find out how far you have upgraded a weapon by pressing the L1 button
(PS2) or Left Trigger (Xbox) to see your stats. You can also go into the
Stats menu to see the specific point level of your current weapon.
The upgradable weapons have three rankings: Poor, Gangster and Hitman. Each
weapon has a maximum skill point level of 1,000. When you reach 1,000 skill
points on a weapon then you will achieve Hitman Level. You can generally
reach Gangster Level at about 200 skill points.
The fastest and easiest way to upgrade your Weapon Skill Levels is to do the
following:
Get a car and place it into a garage (preferably the one at your Safehouse in
Mulholland - you won't get harassed this way). Shoot the car until it starts
flaming and then run away from the garage. The garage door will then close.
Wait a few seconds and, when you run back to get the garage door to re-open,
then your car will be as good as new. Repeat the process until you have
achieved Hitman Weapon Skill Level on your chosen weapon.
Although you can use the Shoot-The-Tire Trick on both of the PS2 versions, I
found that you can really speed up the upgrading and use a lot less ammo by
doing it this way.
Then there's this option that was suggested to me by Sean McCafferty:
"I've found that the lights and cardboard boxes at Emmet's place will
regenerate if you drive down the street to Denise's house and return.
So I've been able to get most of my weapons up to Hitman pretty easily
by just getting on a bike, riding to Denise's and back and shooting
all the same lights and boxes all over again. Since it's a quiet area,
it's good because Cops don't bother you while you're shooting the place
up."
There's also this option by Victor Anni:
"Next get at least 300 ammo for your weapon of choice. Go to the front
of one of your safe houses preferably Jefferson or Willowfield. Kill a
Cop and keep killing them until the SWAT guys start dropping from the
helicopter or when your health is low. Duck into your safe house save
and come back out and repeat. Saving helps you get rid of wanted levels
and restores your health. Shooting the Cops also has the effect of
increasing your respect level (you could even max it out). I used this
strategy at the Willowfield safe house to level my silenced pistol,
shotgun and sawn-off shotgun to hitman levels within the space of an
hour and a half (maybe less wasn't really timing)."

| B.3.B. Weapons and Special Items \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional criminal regardless
of sophistication (or lack thereof). There are thirty two different weapons,
in nine different categories, that can be found and used to create mayhem and
abuse.
However, you can only have one of each type of weapon at a time so you are
limited to a maximum of nine weapons.
But there are other items you can pick up that can be used for different
purposes like picture taking, jumping from high buildings or fostering
relationships with some of the Girlfriends you can date within the game.
There are three slots for these items.
It should be noted that some of these items can be used as weapons depending
on the situation.
Most of the weapons listed have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded which will
make these weapons far more effective.
Some Weapon Classes use the same type of ammo so you can easily get a lot of
ammo for a weapon by switching from one type of weapon within that class for
another within the same class.
The Shotgun class is one example. You can increase your Shotgun ammo by
switching from one type of Shotgun to another since they use the same ammo.
But not all Weapon Classes allow you to do that (an example would be the
Handgun class since the Handguns in that class all use different ammo for
each type).
Most of these Weapons can be found at Ammu-Nation which will be opened after
completion of the mission "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson). More weapons will be
available for purchase at Ammu-Nation as you progress through the game.
Here is the list of Ammu-Nations in San Andreas:
>>Downtown Los Santos (Los Santos).
>>Willowfield (Los Santos).
>>Blueberry (Red County).
>>Palomino Creek (Red County).
>>Angel Pine (Badlands).
>>Ocean Flats (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados (Tierra Robada).
>>Fort Carson (Bone County).
>>Bone County (Desert).
>>Come-A-Lot (Las Venturas).
>>Old Venturas Strip (Las Venturas).
**NOTE: Not all Ammu-Nations charge the same for a weapon. The Bone County,
Come-A-Lot and Old Venturas Strip Ammu-Nations charge more than the
others.
In addition, you can do the Ammu-Nation Challenge at most Ammu-Nations but I
will save that for after opening up the Desert / Las Venturas area.
The descriptions of the weapons and items are listed here and their locations
are listed in each major section of the guide.
The information on each weapon and item is broken down as follows (if
applicable):
--Appears after: This tells you what mission you have to complete before
this weapon can be bought from Ammu-Nation.
--Cost: How much the weapon costs at Ammu-Nation.
--Notes: Information on the weapon or item.
Now for the weapon and item list:
0==============0
| Slot 1 - Fist \
0===============================================>
Good for hands-on fisticuffs but you can increase your damage potential by
acquiring the Brass Knuckles which can be found in various places around
San Andreas.
0=======================0
| Slot 2 - Melee Weapons \
0===============================================>
These weapons are used for pounding, stabbing and slicing your enemies.
Most of these weapons you can run with, some you can't. There are quite a
lot of choices for the discriminating thugger.....
>>Baseball Bat
************
Great for batting practice (on somebody's head) or breaking kneecaps.
There are no Baseball Bat Weapon Icons in Los Santos but you can get
one from a angry pedestrian if he happens to be wielding one.
>>Nightstick
**********
This can be acquired from a dead Cop since he won't be needing it
anyway (or the locker room of most of the Police Stations). Great for
when you want to enforce your own brand of law. Can't we all just get
along?......
>>Golf Club
*********
You can improve your swing and work somebody over at the same time.....
>>Shovel
******
Good for digging up secrets and burying bodies.....
>>Knife
*****
A simple effective hand-held weapon. Can be used for stealth kills. Get
behind someone, Target them and then use the Attack button to perform a
stealth kill.
>>Pool Stick
**********
When you want to "cue" up some mayhem.....
>>Katana
******
Not as effective as it was in Vice City but still a nice melee weapon
to have.
>>Chainsaw
********
Be careful using this weapon because you can't run while using it,
unlike what you can with the other Melee Weapons, so you are vulnerable
to being attacked or busted. Therefore, it has limited strategic
potential. Good for some sick thrills though.....
0==================0
| Slot 3 - Handguns \
0===============================================>
There are three Handguns that can be found in the game. These guns have
Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. You can also run when holding a
Handgun. All three Handguns listed here all use different types of ammo so
you will lose the ammo for one type of Handgun if you switch to another.
>>9mm Pistol
**********
Appears after: "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Cost:
++$200 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$240 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: A decent handgun that can be bought or acquired from dead Cops.
When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached then you can
dual-wield Pistols. Also, you can run with this weapon while
firing it.
In addition, you can use this weapon with the Jetpack.
>>Silenced 9mm Pistol
*******************
Appears after: "House Party" (OG Loc).
Cost:
++$600 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$720 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: A better version of the Pistol. More powerful and silent too.
But you have to stand still while firing it.
>>Desert Eagle
************
Appears after: "Black Project" (Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard
Asset).
Cost:
++$1,200 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$1,440 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: The best handgun in the game. You have to stand still while
firing this gun but, if you are quick with your targeting, then
you can still make fast work of a group of gunmen with little
damage.
0==================0
| Slot 4 - Shotguns \
0===============================================>
The three Shotguns listed here have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. All
of the Shotguns use the same ammo so you can actually increase your Shotgun
ammo when switching from one type of Shotgun to another.
>>Shotgun
*******
Appears after: "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Cost:
++$600 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$720 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: Just a standard pump action single barreled shotgun. Slow on the
fire rate but still effective.
>>Sawn-Off Shotgun
****************
Appears after: "House Party" (OG Loc).
Cost:
++$800 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$960 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This Shotgun has had the barrels sawn off to make it easier to
conceal. However, this greatly reduces its range.
Also, this is the only Shotgun you can run with while holding
it. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached then you can
dual-wield Sawn-Off Shotguns.
>>Combat Shotgun
**************
Appears after: "Don Peyote" (The Four Dragons Casino).
Cost:
++$1,000 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$1,200 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This cool looking rapid fire shotgun is the best shotgun in the
game.
0==========================0
| Slot 5 - Sub-Machine Guns \
0===============================================>
These lightweight weapons can take down anyone very quickly. These are the
only weapons that can be used while in a car or on a motorcycle.
In addition, these Weapons have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. You can
run while holding any of the Sub-Machine Guns.
All of the Sub-Machine Guns use the same ammo so you can actually increase
your Sub-Machine Gun ammo when switching from one type of Sub-Machine Gun
to another.
>>Tec-9
****
Appears after: "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Cost:
++$300 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$360 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This has the largest magazine of this group but is less accurate
and has a slower rate of fire. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is
reached then you can dual-wield Tec-9's.
You can also fire this weapon while moving. In addition, you can
use this weapon with the Jetpack.
>>Micro SMG
*********
Appears after: "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Cost:
++$500 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$600 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: One of the better guns here as it has a good rate of fire and
accuracy. It also has a slightly faster reload than the other
guns.
When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached then you can
dual-wield Micro SMG's. You can also fire this weapon while
moving.
In addition, you can use this weapon with the Jetpack.
>>SMG
***
Appears after: "House Party" (OG Loc).
Cost:
++$2,000 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$2,400 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: The best Sub-Machine Gun in the group. Has a high rate of
accuracy and fire making it perfect for drive-bys.
This is the only Sub-Machine Gun that you can't duel-wield at
Hitman Weapon Skill Level (you have to stand still while firing
it) but that doesn't make you any less dangerous.....
0========================0
| Slot 6 - Assault Rifles \
0===============================================>
These weapons are very good for getting rid of a crowd. These Weapons have
Weapon Skills that can be upgraded.
You cannot run with these weapons while holding one. In addition, they also
use the same bullets so you can increase your ammo by switching assault
rifles.
>>AK-47
****
Appears after: "Lure" (Wu Zi Mu).
Cost:
++$3,500 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$4,200 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: A nice solid Assault Rifle that has been around a long time and
is also easy to acquire on the streets.
>>M4
**
Appears after: "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" (Loco Syndicate).
Cost:
++$4,500 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$5,400 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This Weapon has a very fast rate of fire and is generally better
than the AK-47. Perfect for most missions and territory
acquisition.
0================0
| Slot 7 - Rifles \
0===============================================>
The Rifles listed below have no Weapon Skills to upgrade. Plus you cannot
run with these weapons while holding one.
>>Rifle
*****
Appears after: "Body Harvest" (The Truth).
Cost:
++$1,000 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$1,200 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: Good for taking down varmints like rival gang members and
Cops.....
>>Sniper Rifle
************
Appears after: "Pier 69" (Loco Syndicate).
Cost:
++$5,000 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$6,000 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This high powered, long distance weapon is very good for taking
down people and to explore the surroundings with because of its
view-scope. You can even crouch with this weapon making your
sight more steady.
0=======================0
| Slot 8 - Heavy Weapons \
0===============================================>
These are some of the most powerful weapons in the game. However, you
cannot run while holding them thus making you an easy target for law
enforcement.
Plus you can't crouch either. These Weapons have no Weapon Skills to
upgrade.
>>RPG
***
A standard issue RPG. Hold down the Target button to properly aim the
weapon and press Attack to launch.
>>Heat-Seeking RPG
****************
Better than your standard RPG because the rockets will follow any heat
source coming from a vehicle. Target your victim until the reticle
turns from green to red then press Attack to frag him.
>>Flamethrower
************
If you can't stand the heat then get the hell away from CJ.....
>>Mini-Gun
********
This powerful handheld Gatling Gun (a holdover from Vice City) is made
better because of the improved aiming system. You can shred anything in
seconds with this puppy!
0============================0
| Slot 9 - Projectile Weapons \
0===============================================>
These weapons are meant to be thrown at your targets. The longer you hold
the Attack button, the farther you throw.
You can run with these weapons while holding them. These Weapons have no
Weapon Skills to upgrade.
>>Grenades
********
Appears after: "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Cost:
++$300 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$360 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: Toss one of these and watch the crowds scatter (in more ways
than one).....
>>Tear Gas
********
This weapon is much better implemented in San Andreas than was in Vice
City. Better still, CJ is unaffected by the Tear Gas cloud. Bonus!
Outside of a kick to the groin this is probably the best way to make a
grown man cry......
>>Molotovs
********
Can be used to flambe' your enemies and yourself if you're too careless
in where you throw one. Best used when you acquire the Fireproof
Feature (by doing the Fire Truck Mission) to keep yourself cool when
everybody else is not.....
>>Remote Explosives
*****************
Appears after: "Body Harvest" (The Truth).
Cost:
++$2,000 - Most Ammu-Nations.
++$2,400 - Bone County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations.
Notes: This is basically a sticky grenade that you can attach to
buildings, vehicles and even people. Then switch to the
Detonator (it has its own slot when the Remote Explosives is
used) to detonate. Lots of fun can be had with this weapon.
0=========================0
| Slot 10 - Handheld Items \
0===============================================>
These items listed here have multiple uses.
>>Spray Can
*********
This is used to spray over Graffiti Tags. But it can also be used like
Tear Gas to stun an enemy and, if you keep spraying him, it will even
kill him. Not exactly eco-friendly.....
>>Camera
******
This is used mainly for the San Fierro Photo-Ops done later in the
game. But you can recruit gang members with it and they will even take
your picture when you give them the Camera.
>>Fire Extinguisher
*****************
This is used to put out fires, of course. Aim at the base of the flame
and press Attack put it out. It can also be used as an effective Tear
Gas-like weapon to stun (and kill) enemies and bash them with the unit
itself when you get close enough.
0================0
| Slot 11 - Gifts \
0===============================================>
These items are used for dating Girlfriends. Strangely enough, you can also
use these items as weapons.....
>>Flowers
*******
For when you want to play nice and sweet you can't go wrong with
flowers.
It is important to note that, once you take them from a location, that
they will *NOT* re-spawn so be careful when acquiring them. Although,
according to Dan Stephen, they are able to re-spawn in the PC version
so the PS2 version may have a bug that causes them not to re-spawn when
one is picked up.
>>Double-Ended Dildo
******************
For when you're feeling horny and you don't want to beat around the
bush about it (so to speak).....
>>Cane
****
For some strange reason this particular item is a gift instead of a
plain melee weapon. Reader Kevin Brown said "but my idea is it's like a
show off thing you know like pimps carry canes." Considering that there
is a Pimping Mission in this game this explanation makes sense.
>>Vibrator
********
Great for massaging those "special areas".....
0========================0
| Slot 12 - Apparel Items \
0===============================================>
These items need to be worn to be used. Some of these items won't appear
until after the missions in which they are used.
>>Parachute
*********
When you need to bail from a plane or drop in on some unwanted guests
then you'll need one of these. Press Attack to pull the ripcord and
hope it works.....
>>Thermal Goggles
***************
These goggles allow you to see the heat signature of objects,
especially bodies. According to Malcrasternus, who posted this little
find on the GameFAQs Message Boards, you can use these goggles to find
the San Fierro Photo-Ops regardless of the time of day.
To use them, switch to them and press Attack. To turn them off, switch
back to them (you can have them on while using other items) and press
Attack again.
It is important to note that, once you take them from a location, that
they will *NOT* re-spawn so be careful when acquiring them.
>>Night Vision Goggles
********************
These goggles intensify faint light and allow you to see in the dark.
You can also use these to find the San Fierro Photo-Ops regardless of
the time of day. These goggles may actually be better than the Thermal
Goggles for finding the Photo-Ops. You can see your surroundings
better.
To use them, switch to them and press Attack. To turn them off, switch
back to them (you can have them on while using other items) and press
Attack again.
It is important to note that, once you take them from a location, that
they will *NOT* re-spawn so be careful when acquiring them.

| B.3.C. Body Armor and Police Bribe Icons \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
But Weapon Icons aren't the only things you will find scattered around San
Andreas. You will also find these other icons that you can use to help you
out:
0===========0
| Body Armor \
0===============================================>
This armor-shaped icon will increase your armor rating to its maximum of
100 (the number can be seen in the Stats). When you complete Level 12 of
the Vigilante Mission then your maximum will increase to 150.
You can buy Body Armor from Ammu-Nation after completion of the mission
"Doberman" (Sweet Johnson) for $200 (most Ammu-Nations - $240 from the Bone
County / Las Venturas Ammu-Nations).
0=============0
| Police Bribe \
0===============================================>
These star-shaped icons will drop your Wanted Rating by one star when
picked up. It is best to know where all the bribe icons are located before
doing any missions so you can quickly deal with any law enforcement
pursuit.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| B.3.D. Food and Drinks \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
There are many places in the Los Santos and Red County area where you can get
food to replenish your health, to stop your hunger or to get fat.
All of the fast food restaurants (Well Stacked Pizza, Cluckin' Bell and
Burger Shot) will be active and appear on your in-game map after completion
of the mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson).
**NOTE: The icon for the Cluckin' Bell in Market (Los Santos) does NOT
appear on the in-game map (and even on the printed map) for the
AO Versions. It has been fixed for the Second Edition versions.
In addition, there is a Well Stacked Pizza in Montgomery (Red
County) that does not have an icon on the in-game map regardless
of version.
However, there are other food places that do not appear on the in-game map
that can be accessed at any time from the beginning of the game:
0===============0

These are silver colored machines that provide snack food (for $1) and are
open at the beginning of the game.
0================0
| Sprunk Machines \
0===============================================>
These are green colored machines that provide soda (for $1) and are open at
the beginning of the game. There are a couple of red colored ECola Machines
in San Fierro but behave the same.
0=====0
| 24-7 \
0===============================================>
These are convenience stores that contain both Snack Machines and Sprunk
Machines (as well as arcade games). They do NOT appear on the in-game map
although they are open from the beginning. There is one 24-7 in
Mulholland (Los Santos) that doesn't have any machines so is not listed.
0============0
| Food Stands \
0===============================================>
These are small individual food stands that offer food for $1.
0=============0
| Hot Dog Vans \
0===============================================>
These are vans that often appear in rural areas that offer food for $1.
However, they may not appear when you get to where they are usually at so
you may have to make another pass to make them appear.

| B.I. Before Doing The Main Story Missions [BDMS] |
0===========================================================================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/
To start, I'm going to do a lot of the off-story stuff before doing the first
official mission, "Big Smoke" / "Sweet and Kendl".
Since I can't fully explore the areas outside Los Santos / Red County right
now then my primary focus is to do as much as possible before going into
the Main Story Missions.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.1. In The Beginning..... [NTBG] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
It is 1992 and Carl Johnson is returning home to Los Santos after a five year
self-exile to Liberty City. It is not a happy occasion, however, since he is
returning home because his mother has been killed.
Upon arrival, it gets worse for him. He encounters two Cops from his
gangbanging past, Officer Tenpenny and Officer Pulaski, who are very corrupt
and frame him for a Cop's murder to drag him back into the game once again.
To top that off, they drop him into Ballas turf leaving Carl with only $350.
The Ballas are rivals of the Grove Street Families, the gang that Carl used
to be affiliated with, and he has to get himself out of there pronto.
All Carl has in front of him is a bicycle and thus the story begins.....
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.2. Burglar Mission [BRGN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Although you are alerted to this mission at the end of the mission "Home
Invasion" (Ryder), you can actually do this task at the very beginning of the
game (thanks goes to Derrick for this bit of information).
In this mission you go from house to house and steal items from them. You
have to get the Boxville which is parked at the apartment complex south
of the Los Santos Gym.
Then press Activate Vehicle Mission (after 20:00) to start and you have until
06:00 to complete it.
After 06:00 then you can no longer rob houses but you are given a five minute
timer to head to the lock-up so you can get paid (thanks to Alky Alky2 for
that wonderful bit of information). You have to get a minimum of $10,000
worth of stuff in order to successfully complete the mission.
Although it is very easy to get that and more, in one night, reader Richard
Julian states you don't have to do it all at one time. You can do some in one
night and more in another night. But you still have to get a total of
$10,000 to successfully finish off this mission.
In Los Santos your drop-off point is LB's garage in Willowfield just north of
the Playa Del Seville Barber Shop. The best place to do this mission is on
the very short street west of the drop-off point.
Get there before 20:00 and the moment the clock says 20:00 press Activate
Vehicle Mission. This will maximize the time you have to complete the
mission.
Find two houses that have arrows on their doorsteps preferably across the
street from each other. Better still if they happen to be at the signal light
which is as close as possible to the drop-off point.
Enter one of the houses. You have to be stealthy when inside a house and
creep around in order to keep the Noise Meter from maxing out.
If you max out the Noise Meter then you will be detected and you will have
ten seconds before the Cops arrive and you will be hit with a 3-Star Wanted
Rating if you don't get out in time. But, after you get back outside, then
the countdown disappears and you can re-enter the house.
When inside a house then scope out the place a little bit. There are usually
three items worth stealing within a house. Sometimes one of the items is in
the bedroom.
If an item is in the bedroom then I sneak into the room, take the item and
run out. It doesn't matter if I'm detected or not. I have plenty of time to
get out.
Once outside with my item then I drop it off in the back of the truck. Then I
run back inside the same house, grab another item and run out before the
detection timer runs out.
After I clean out this house then I go and enter the house across the street
and repeat the process I used on the first one. Once I clean out the
second house then I go back to the first house and repeat the process.
You see, once you start robbing another house, then all of the items in the
first house reset so instead of finding a completely different house to rob
you can just go back to this one. By having the two houses you can rob across
the street from each other then you can quickly accumulate items by just
going back and forth between the two houses.
You can also kill the occupant of the house so you can rummage through the
place without interference. However, if you go to another house and back to
the first one, then the occupant will be "revived".
Skipp Kennedy went one step better. He ran into the first house, grabbed the
first thing he saw then ran back out. Dropped off the item in the back of the
Boxville then ran into the second house, grabbed the first thing he saw
there, then ran back out.
Then he dropped off that item and ran back into the first house and repeated
the pattern. This was much faster and allowed for the collection of more
items.
You would definitely be detected using this method but you will be long gone
before the Cops show up.
Continue robbing houses until you have about ten seconds left on the clock
then re-enter the Boxville. When the Daylight Timer runs out then you will be
given another five minute timer to get to the lock-up so you can successfully
complete this mission.
After you get to the lock-up then you will be paid for the items you have
stolen plus $3,000 for successful completion.
Although this mission doesn't contribute toward 100% Completion, there is
something you earn that can be very useful and is not documented within the
game but works on all versions of San Andreas (I confirmed this on all of my
PS2 and Xbox versions).
According to Glen T. Winstein, with help from Mxyzptlk and Craig Kostelecky,
you earn the Infinite Stamina Feature. This means that you can run and sprint
without ever getting tired.
This is also why I put this near the beginning. Having Infinite Stamina can
be extremely useful. However, you can still earn Stamina on your Stamina Stat
but it is now irrelevant.
I should point out the on the PC AO Version it may be possible to trigger the
Off-Map Glitch by doing this mission (info courtesy of Odhita Kamayana).
After completion of this mission then I head up to Jefferson and purchase the
Jefferson Safehouse.
And, with my remaining money, I head to my next objective.....

| B.I.3. Inside Track Betting and Easy Money [ITBM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Under the raised freeway and just south of the parking lot under the
Mulholland Intersection is the Inside Track Betting parlor. Here you can win
a lot of money by betting on the horses.
Go inside and walk up to the ITB Machine to place your bet. There are five
choices and they go from top to bottom from best odds to long odds.
The long odds are usually 10 to 1, 11 to 1 and 12 to 1. You can also bet in
increments from $5 to $10,000.
As it turns out, based on info from the message boards, all of the horses
have the same chances of winning regardless of the odds posted. It is not
skewed to where the worst horse loses 99 time out of a hundred or where the
best horse wins most of the time.
No, all of the horses have an equal chance to win the races. To start trying
to win money bet all of your money on the bottom horse.
If you win then go back to the Jefferson Safehouse and save your game. Then
go back here to win more money. If you lose then pause, reload from your
Jefferson Safehouse save point and come back here to try again.
The maximum you can bet at any one time is $9,999,995. At 12 to 1 odds that
means you can win a maximum of $119,999,936.
However, it can become tedious trying to get that 119 million. The maximum
increment is $10,000 and you have to press the button once for each ten grand
you wish to bet.
You can't just hold the button down to get it to increase. You either have to
tap fast using two fingers or use a programmable joypad to speed things up.
Of course, having $10,000,000 plus is more than enough to get things started
so you don't have to try to get $100,000,000 unless you want to but it will
be very nice to have.
Regardless of whether or not I had over ten million or over a hundred
million then I went ahead and purchased the remaining available Safehouses.

| B.I.4. Keeping An Eye Open For Certain Cars [KPEO] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In the later stages of the game you will need to collect cars for the Import
/ Export Car Lists to get to 100% Completion.
Many of the cars can be easily found. But some of the cars are not so easy
to find. Now that I have bought all of the available Safehouses I have four
garages to store cars in.
Below is the list of vehicles you may want to look out for in your early
travels in Los Santos:
>>Feltzer (convertible)
>>Cheetah (Ferrari Testarossa)
>>Stallion (late 70s Ford Mustang)
>>Freeway (Harley-Davidson style bike)
Although you can store more than one vehicle in a garage, I try to put just
one car in any garage. This will reduce, but sadly not eliminate, the
infamous Car Eating Garage Glitch that has plagued all of the GTA games.

| B.I.5. Oysters (Los Santos and Red County) [OSLS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
The next thing one can do here is to start collecting Oysters which are
spread throughout the San Andreas area (but always in the water). There are
fifty of them to acquire and it is required for 100% Completion.
You can go swimming around the Unwelcome Areas (without touching land) safely
to acquire a lot of the Oysters. You can also max out your Health and Lung
Capacity along the way (and increase your Sex Appeal).
However, there are faster ways to get both done but it is not a bad way to do
some early exploration of San Andreas.
The fastest way to acquire all of the Oysters is to use a speedboat and
collect them either using an Early Exploration Exploit or by waiting until
all of San Andreas is open.
You will get $100 for each Oyster you collect and $100,000 (plus maxing out
your Lung Capacity Stat) for acquiring all fifty of them.
Listed below are the Oysters for Los Santos and Red County. The Map
co-ordinates refer to the printed map that comes included with the game disc:

| B.I.6. Los Santos Graffiti Tags [LSGT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In Los Santos there are 100 Graffiti Tags that must be spray-painted over
with the Grove Street Families tag. You're supposed to do this after
completion of the mission "Tagging Up Turf" (Sweet Johnson) but you can do
them all before doing the Main Story Missions.
You can find Spray Cans in Las Colinas and Ganton so you can do the Tags
before doing any Main Story Missions.
When doing the "Tagging Up Turf" mission then the six tags you covered up
beforehand (if you covered up those) will be uncovered so you can cover them
back up to complete the mission. I played around and found out that you can
get all 100 Tags before the Main Story Missions without negatively affecting
"Tagging Up Turf".
One option is to wait until the mission "Tagging Up Turf" to take advantage
of the unlimited Spray Can "ammo" during the mission and do all of the Tags
then.
Another little tip is to try to get the Tags at night since they tend to be
brighter when the sun is down (making them easier to see) and blend into the
walls during the daytime (making them harder to see).
When you find a Tag to spray paint then you use Target to aim and use the
Attack to paint. Wait until the game prompts that the tag has been
successfully painted before stopping. Make sure that no Cops are around when
tagging otherwise you will get a Wanted Rating.
When all 100 Tags are finished then your Respect will increase and the
following Weapon Icons will spawn in the kitchen of The Johnson House:
>>AK-47
>>Tec-9
>>Sawn-Off Shotgun
>>Molotov
And, according to Allan Curtis, your fellow gang members will be armed with
more powerful weapons like the SMG, Desert Eagles and Knives.
Listed below, by neighborhood, is the Graffiti Tag list for Los Santos. The
Graffiti Tag List is broken up by neighborhood. There are twenty six
neighborhoods that have Tags in them. In addition, I've included a breakdown
of Tags in each area.
Because of the high number of Tags then it is best to go to a neighborhood
and focus on acquiring all the Tags in that area before moving onto the next
one. That should make things easier to deal with.
The Map co-ordinates refer to the printed map that comes included with the
game disc. Landmarks are based off of icons on the in-game map (at this stage
of the game) and easily notable land or city features.
In addition, because the Graffiti Tags are harder to find than most other
collectibles (because they are not in an open area spinning in place) then I
have done what I call "chaining".
In some neighborhoods there are not many good landmarks to start off from and
some Tags are close together. So, when I find a Tag, then I use it as a
landmark to the next Tag and to the next Tag and so on thus chaining several
together.
Now for the Graffiti Tags:

\=========================================================================/
At the southwest part of Commerce is the Commerce 24-7 (just west of City
Hall). In front of the 24-7 is a BMX bike.
But this one is special. Getting on this bike will trigger the Commerce 24-7
Courier Asset Mission.
This is a simple mission. While on the bike then you have to throw packages
through the red coronas shown on your map.
You have do this Drive-By style using the Look Left and Look Right Buttons in
conjunction with the Attack Button. If you miss then you can get a second
chance by picking up the package and trying again.
Part of your score is determined by how many packages you bring back to the
24-7 when you complete a level.
After completing the last corona in the run then you have to go back to the
Commerce 24-7 to complete the run.
There are a total of four runs to complete:
0=======0
| Run #1 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 3
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 3 minutes
0=======0
| Run #2 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 4
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #3 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 5
--Packages = 7
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #4 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 6
--Packages = 8
--Time Limit = 10 minutes
For the last run you will notice that the packages are really spread out.
Start by going west and going clockwise along the course. You can practically
sprint all the way through the course even with low Stamina. Just try not to
wreck too much.
Upon completion you will gain a Money Icon outside the 24-7 that will
generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per day. And you will also inch closer
toward 100% Completion.

are in the air on each side of the other half-pipe.
To successfully do this Challenge you must have a high Cycling Skill. This
will enable you to Bunny Hop really high and go backwards without falling
off. You can go and do other things like doing Graffiti Tags and Weapon
Collection while building up your Cycling Skill.
It is recommended that you max out your Cycling Skill before trying this
Challenge.
Before doing the BMX Challenge, use the BMX bike you should have saved in
CJ's garage and practice doing the half-pipes. Go up one side and tap Pedal
really fast.
You should shoot up the side and into the air. Learn how to land and how to
go up the other side of the pipe. Once you get the hang of it then get onto
the other bike to start the challenge.
When you start the challenge then you get ten seconds and get an additional
ten seconds for each corona you collect.
Get all of the other coronas on the ground and air as quickly as possible
before doing the half-pipe ones. This will allow you to get enough time so
you can get the last three on the half-pipes.
If you are having trouble getting the coronas on the half-pipes then reader
Philip Carstens has this advice:
"Go to Ocean Docks and get yourself a Packer (the truck with the tracks
on the trailer) and drive to the Skate park with the Packer. Once there
go to the half pipe in the north-western corner (the corona is on the
flat top of the half pipe). Park the Packer on the south-eastern side
with the front of the packer facing towards the flat top (north). Using
the side view make sure the truck is not to close to the half pipe
otherwise you might end up crashing into the half pipe with the BMX. If
parked correctly the corona almost becomes the easiest one to get. With
a moderate speed go up the tracks of the Packer and bunny hop to the
flat top, if you go to fast you will end up on the road behind the
skate park. If you don't succeed the first time you can go back to the
hill and activate the challenge again and the Packer will still be
there a second time around."
When you complete the Challenge then you will inch closer to 100% Completion.

| B.I.9. Vigilante Mission (Motorcycle) [VGLC] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Another thing that can be done here in the Los Santos and Red County area is
to do the Vigilante Mission. While there are several kinds of Police vehicles
I can use here, the best one to use is the Cop Motorcycle.
It is also recommended that you max out the SMG Weapon Skill Level and have
about 2,000 rounds.
The rules for the Vigilante Mission are as follows:
When in a Police Vehicle then press Activate Vehicle Mission to begin a
Vigilante Mission. You will be prompted to chase and destroy a selected
target which is another car. You have to kill all the criminals in the car
before moving onto the next level.
Sometimes, if you damage the criminal's car enough, then the criminals may
exit the car to confront you. Drive-by or run them over to get rid of them.
The higher you go up the levels, the more criminals you will have to deal
with (up to a maximum of three cars per level).
At later levels of the Vigilante Mission then the criminals will shoot at you
from their cars while you are chasing them. Some of them will carry Shotguns
which can seriously and quickly damage your vehicle (and yourself if you are
using a motorcycle).
It is best to get Hitman Weapon Skill Level on whatever weapon you plan to
use for the Vigilante Mission to increase your distance and rate of fire to
deal with these threats quickly.
After completing Level 12 then you will be rewarded with a permanent increase
in your armor (going up to 150 maximum).
At this point of the game I found that the best place to do the Vigilante
Mission is in the Red County area. Very little traffic and few Cops to stop
you if you get a Wanted Rating during the mission.
And even then the Police Ranchers are easy to deal with since the country
Cops are not as aggressive as their city counterparts. By doing this mission
in the country then you are making the mission much easier.
By using the Cop Motorcycle then I have the ability to shoot forward which
gives me a huge advantage. All I have to do is just get behind my quarry and
shoot up the back of their car until it blows up.
The downside is that the criminals in the cars, at later levels, will shoot
back at you while being pursued. And some of them will wield Shotguns.
They can quickly destroy your armor and health if you get too close. This is
why you should have Hitman Weapon Skill Level on the SMG. This way you can
shoot further and reduce the damage they can do.
When you complete level 12 of the Vigilante Mission then you will increase
your maximum Body Armor from 100 to 150 and inch closer to 100% Completion.
Several people have written to me about tricks that can allow you to enter
buildings to do the Vigilante Mission. You enter a building, wait a few
seconds and the threat will be gone. Go back, re-enter your Police vehicle,
get back out and repeat the process.
However, I have not gotten them to work 100% of the time. In addition, these
tricks do not seem to work on the Xbox so I will stick to my above
strategies.
However, if you're willing to wait until much later in the game, then you can
earn the Hunter attack helicopter by getting all Golds in the Flight School
or by stashing the Hunter in the hangar at Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard
during the race "Heli Hell". It is much easier, and more fun, to use the
Hunter to complete the Vigilante Mission.

| B.I.10. "8-Track" (Los Santos Forum) [TRSN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
At the Los Santos Forum there is a Stadium Event known as "8-Track". You need
to have about 10% Driving Skill before you are allowed to go inside.
You don't need to max out your Driving Skill before going to do this event
but it will help a bit. You can still win this event even with the minimum
allowed Driving Skill.
This is a twelve lap race around a figure-eight course. There are twelve cars
on the course including yourself.
The cars used are Hotring Racers. But these are not the same Hotring Racers
used in Vice City. They are not as durable and even with maximum Driving
Skill it still doesn't handle very well.
The starting point is under the bridge over the middle of the course. There
is a sharp left and a bottleneck as you get onto the bridge and a sharp right
as you head back toward the starting line. These are the places where you can
really get messed up if you're not careful.
The key thing in doing the race is patience. You can't go too fast otherwise
you will slide into the walls at the sharp curves which will damage your car
and cause you to lose position.
As you head back toward the starting line then go along the wall on the right
side. This will allow you to gain position.
When you get back underneath the bridge then you need to be careful of the
other cars. However, if you hit the rear of the car in front of you, then you
can cause him to spin out because of the angle you are at when you get under
the bridge. This will also allow you to gain position.
When you finally get into first place then drive conservatively. Try not to
hit any of the walls from here on out even if you have to really slow down on
the sharp curves to do it. This will allow you to keep your car in shape
until the end of the race.
If you finish in first place then you will win $10,000 and inch closer to
100% Completion. In addition, the Hotring Racer and the Monster (which is a
big ass monster truck) will spawn outside the Los Santos Forum.
I should note that the Monster truck has no Handbrake. It has 4-Wheel
Steering in its place. When used, it will allow you to do very sharp
cornering.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.11. Pimping Mission [PMPN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Behind the Going Gas Station, in Idlewood, you will find a car parked there
called the Broadway. Upon entering it you will notice that you can do a
vehicle based side-mission.
That mission is called the Pimping Mission. Press the Activate Vehicle
Mission button to begin the mission.
When you first start then you will be prompted to pick up your girl. When you
do that then you will have a time limit (usually three minutes) to take her
to a customer.
Once you have dropped her off then you will be prompted to pick up another
girl. When you have done that then you have about a three minute time limit
to take her to her customer.
When you have dropped her off then you will be prompted to pick up the first
girl.
So now you begin alternating between the two girls. When one is finished then
you pick her up, take her to another customer and be prompted to pick up the
other girl to repeat the process.
There are ten customers to serve during this mission. In addition, you may
see your Pimping Skill go up even though I haven't found it in the Stats.
One of three things will happen when you are prompted to pick up a girl:
First, you will get a notice she is finished and waiting to be picked up.
Here you can take your time and even repair your car if you have taken too
much damage from smacking it around.
Second, she is getting roughed up by the customer. You have about three
minutes to get to her before the customer kills her.
When you get there then exit your car and kill the customer. Then you have
twenty seconds to get back in the car before the mission ends. Get back in
the car, pick up your girl and head to the next customer.
Third, the customer refuses to pay. You have about three minutes to get to
your girl before the customer runs off.
When you get there then the customer will run for it. Kill him before he gets
too far. Just line him up and run him over.
If you have to get out and chase him then don't run too far since you have
twenty seconds to get back in the car before the mission ends. Get back in
the car, pick up your girl and head to the next customer.
When you pick up a girl then you will get a cut of the earnings. You will
always get $300 from the girl but your money will increase due to a
multiplier which also serves as a indicator of how many customers you have
served regardless of the outcome.
When you have served your tenth customer then this side-mission will end
successfully. You will get a little closer to 100% Completion plus a little
bonus. From now on, whenever you decide to do business with a prostitute she
will pay you instead of you paying her for the pleasure.

| B.I.12. Ambulance Mission [AMBM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Just like in all the other "Grand Theft Auto" games, there is a Ambulance
Mission to do in order to get 100% Completion. The rules are still the same.
You have to climb into an Ambulance and press Activate Vehicle Mission to
begin the mission. You drive around picking up patients and take them to a
nearby hospital.
There are twelve levels in the Ambulance Mission. You start with one patient
at Level 1 and a additional patient will be added in each level as you
progress.
You can carry a maximum of three patients at one time so you will have to
plan your routes, using the in-game map, to find the best way to pick them
up.
Care must be taken not to smack the Ambulance too much because of the
patients inside but it seems that the Ambulance is much tougher in San
Andreas than it was in Vice City.
There are three Hospitals in the Los Santos and Red County area. How
difficult or easy this mission is determined by which hospital you use. So
which is the best one to do the mission with?
I found that Montgomery Hospital in Red County is a very good place to do the
mission. The patients tend to be within the city limits for the early part of
the mission which makes it easy because the town is small.
But, at Level 8, things start to change. You will then start to see patients
in Dillimore, Palomino Creek and Hampton Barns. Even so, it is still not too
difficult since there is a lot of room to make your own shortcuts and avoid
traffic.
When you have to deal with traffic then you can make things easier on
yourself by using the Siren to make the cars move out of the way.
Within Montgomery city limits your time bonus for each patient is 16-19
seconds. Outside the city limits your time bonus for each patient is at least
45 seconds.
However, if you're willing to wait, then THE best place to do the Ambulance
Mission period is in Angel Pine (Badlands and San Fierro area). All of the
patients remain confined to the small town thus making this mission easier
(and faster).
When you have successfully completed the Ambulance Mission then your Health
will be maxed out and you will take another step toward 100% Completion.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.13. Firetruck Mission [FTKM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
For this mission you have to get a Firetruck, found at most Fire Stations,
and press Activate Vehicle Mission to start the Firetruck Mission. You then
have to go from place to place extinguishing fires with the water cannon by
using the Attack button.
There are twelve levels to complete. On Level 1 you have to put out a single
car fire. On Level 2 you have to put out the car fire but, when you do that,
then a person will exit from the vehicle and he will be on fire and you will
have to put him out. The person will then try to run away so you have to go
and chase him (but thankfully he won't run too far).
As you progress through the levels then a person will be added to a car for
each level you pass up to a maximum of three people per car. At Levels 5 and
9 new cars are added up to a maximum of three cars. The game will spread out
the cars so you have to go from car to car extinguishing them and the
passengers who try to flee.
There is no Fire Station in Los Santos but a Firetruck can usually be found
by a salmon and blue building west of the Skate Park (which is west of County
Hospital in Jefferson).
As with the Ambulance Mission, I found that doing the mission in Red County
was the best place to do it because of the light traffic and open country in
which to make shortcuts. Use the Siren to make the traffic move out of the
way to speed things up and limit damage to your Firetruck.
After completing Level 12 then you will then successfully complete the
Firetruck Mission. You will get a little closer to 100% Completion and become
fireproof. Having the Fireproof Feature will really help you out on the last
mission of the game.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.14. Taxi Mission [XMSN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Just like in the other "Grand Theft Auto" games, you can do the Taxi Mission.
Get a Taxi and press Activate Vehicle Mission to begin this mission.
Basically, you pick up a person and take him (or her) to a destination. You
are given a time limit to get the person there. After dropping off the
passenger then you need to find another fare and repeat the process.
The faster you can get and drop off passengers, the more time you can
accumulate so you can go and repair the Taxi in a Pay 'N' Spray every so
often. This is because you will be smacking into a lot of cars because of the
way people drive in San Andreas.
I should also point out that you won't be able to pick up any passengers if
your cab is trashed but, if you trash your cab with a passenger still inside,
then they won't flee like they did in the previous two GTA's
I should also note that you can't do the Taxi Mission in Red County. All of
the destinations for the Taxi Mission are in Los Santos.
There are some differences between the Taxi Mission in San Andreas and the
ones in the previous GTA's.
First, there is the Tip Line. When you get a passenger then there will be a
Tip Line beneath the time limit. The line will shorten with time but will
shorten faster when you hit cars or other obstacles.
If you get to your destination with the Tip Line still on your screen then
you will get a Time Bonus. Since, because of the way people drive in San
Andreas, then you will be smacking into a lot of cars and you probably won't
be getting a lot of Time Bonuses. Just focus on getting the customer to their
destination so you can continue.
Second, you only need to do fifty passengers instead of 100 like it was in
the last two GTA's. This makes things less tedious but the main reason for
the change is that if you try to do all fifty in one run you may start to go
hungry because of the amount of time it takes to get fifty in one run.
If you want to try to do all fifty in one run then you may want to build up
on your Fat Stat before attempting the Taxi Mission.
After successful completion of the Taxi Mission then you will get closer to
100% Completion and acquire unlimited Nitros for all of the Taxis.

However, he is suddenly confronted by someone who thinks CJ is a thief
looking for trouble. But CJ recognizes this person as Big Smoke, a friend of

talk.
After a few moments then they leave the house and head to the cemetery to

This arguing upsets Kendl and she goes off to see her boyfriend Cesar who
is Mexican. This doesn't sit too well with Sweet and the two argue.
But she still walks off. Sweet is still very upset that everything has
gone bad in the hood. When CJ asks why then Sweet points out the graves of
fellow members who have met an untimely end at the hands of the rival gang:
the Ballas.
Afterward, they all head back to the car but are ambushed by the Ballas.

Get into Ryder's car to begin the mission.
Your first stop is Reece's Barber Shop in Idlewood. When you enter the
place then you can choose from a variety of hairstyles. Usually the most
expensive hairstyles will gain you the most Respect.
If you've spent some time playing the horses at the Inside Track Betting
then money will be no object. I chose the Cornrow for CJ.
After getting your haircut then meet up with Ryder who is smoking outside.
The comments he makes about your haircut will vary depending on which one
you get. He suggests that you get something to eat while he finishes up
with his smoke.
Enter the Well Stacked Pizza and get something to eat. It can be anything
on the menu but it should be noted that the largest meals will contain the
most Fat.
After choosing your meal then Ryder will then try to rob the place. But the
guy behind the counter recognizes Ryder and is not impressed by him. Worse,
while CJ and Ryder argue, the pizza guy pulls out a Shotgun and shoots at
them.
Now you two have to make it back to Ganton. Get back in Ryder's car and go
back to his house.
You don't need to face the pizza guy, just drive back to Ryder's house to
successfully end the mission (Although one time I shot the guy in the face
with a Silenced Pistol). Ryder also mentions that Sweet has also been upset
about the tags and suggests that CJ see him.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
If you've done all 100 Graffiti Tags prior to doing the Main Story Missions
then you will see that six of your Tags have been "uncovered" so you can do
this mission. But it will have no negative effect on this mission or your
game status.
First, drive off to Idlewood. The game will instruct you on how to make a
tag since the game designers wanted you to go through this mission first
before doing the Graffiti Tags. Get the remaining two Tags in this area
then go back to Sweet's car.
Now drive to East Los Santos. There are three more Tags in this area.
However, if you want, then you can take advantage of your unlimited ammo
for your Spray Can and get all of the remaining Tags in Los Santos before
doing these three Tags in East Los Santos. It will take awhile to get them
all in one run but you won't have to worry about running out of spray
paint.
Back in East Los Santos, get the first one on the restaurant and head to
the alley where the second one is located. The second Tag has a couple of
Ballas nearby.
Instead of confronting them, quickly do the Tag and run. If you try to
confront them with the Spray Can then you will more than likely attract the
attention of a Cop.
For the third Tag you will be instructed on climbing the fence to get to
it.
After getting the third Tag then you need to jump down and enter Sweet's
car. Then drive back to Sweet's house to successfully complete the mission.

Whatever amount of Spray Can "ammo" you had before you started the mission
you will have 500-500 when you finish. You will also get a phone call from
Officer Hernandez, who works with Tenpenny and Pulaski, warning CJ not to
leave town.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Ryder tells CJ to drive over to a friend's house. The house belongs to
B-Dup and Big Bear and Ryder wants them to help out in cleaning the hood
even though they haven't seen each other for awhile. Get into the Greenwood
and drive over to the apartment.
However, when they arrive, then they find that B-Dup has become a Crack
Dealer. Worse, they also discover that Big Bear has become an addict and
B-Dup has turned him into his own personal slave.
CJ and Ryder can not count on B-Dup being friends with them anymore. After
leaving then they decide to find some Crack Dealers.
The game will then instruct you to go just north of B-Dup's apartment where
a Crack Seller is selling Crack to one of the homies. Confront him and use
any weapon to take him down. Me, I used my Silenced Pistol and shot him in
the face before he could finish talking to me.
Ryder recognizes him as an ex-member of one of the rival gangs and knows
where he lives. The place is in Idlewood not far from where they are.
Go there and barge in. Your next task is to beat up on the dealer and all
of the other gang members that confront you.
It is best to use a melee weapon like a Baseball Bat instead of a gun. I
found out the hard way when I accidentally shot Ryder in the ruckus (ouch).
After beating up everybody then head back to Sweet's house to successfully
complete the mission.

Drive over to the Cluckin' Bell in Willowfield. On the way the guys talk
about the death of CJ's mom. They also talk about a green Sabre that ran
from the scene.
When they get to the restaurant then a cutscene will play showing them
ordering their food. However, a Ballas car has spotted them and they decide
to go after them.
Chase the Ballas car. Ryder and Sweet will help out with their weaponry
while Big Smoke decides to eat instead. You can help out with your SMG in
drive-by mode.
Once you get the Ballas car in flames then get away before it blows up.
Usually the car will blow up before any Ballas can flee.
Now drive back to Sweet's house. Big Smoke has eaten all of the food,
including Ryder's meal, during the ruckus. After getting back to Sweet's
house then take Big Smoke back to his. He lives in Idlewood not far from
Reece's Barber Shop.
After dropping him off then the mission ends successfully.

Sweet will call CJ and tell him that he needs to build up his physique to
get more respect. This will open up the Los Santos Gym (plus the gyms in
San Fierro and Las Venturas).

\=========================================================================/
As mentioned earlier, there are several activities you can do to acquire
muscle mass using the Gyms found throughout San Andreas.
But, more importantly, now that you've opened up the remaining three Gyms in
San Andreas, you can learn moves from the Boxing Trainer which is a
requirement for 100% Completion.
Get enough Muscle (past the Buff stage) and talk to the Boxing Trainer to
challenge him. Beat him and you will learn new moves from him.
The easiest way to beat him is to target him with the R1 button (PS2) or
Right Trigger (Xbox) and use the Triangle (PS2) or B (Xbox) button to punch
him around.
After you knock him down onto the canvas then switch to the Circle button
(PS2) or continue with the B button (Xbox) and start stomping him. Keep
stomping him and you will beat him since stomping him won't let him get off
the canvas.
After beating the Boxing Trainer then he will teach you the new moves.
You will also need to learn Martial Arts moves at Cobra Martial Arts (San
Fierro Gym) and Kickboxing moves at the Las Venturas Gym for 100% Completion.

After some discussion then the Families decide that need some better
firepower to go up against the other gangs. Smoke recommends Emmet, an old
friend of his that deals with firearms.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
CJ and Smoke head into Willowfield to find Emmet. After nearly getting
their heads blown off by him then you begin what is basically a training
mission.
The instructions on the screen show you how to target with the Pistol. Just
follow along. This mission is easy but even easier if you managed to max
out your Pistol Skill beforehand.
In addition, the Pistol used for this mission has unlimited ammo. But, if
you leave Emmet's area, then you will no longer have unlimited ammo. You
will have ten rounds for the Pistol. However, if you return to Emmet's
area, then your pistol will return to its unlimited ammo status.
If you haven't upgraded your Pistol Skill, and it is recommended for the
Ammu-Nation Challenge later in the game, then this is a good place to do
it.
For the PS2 version you can just drag a car from the nearby streets into
Emmet's area and shoot at the tire until you reach Hitman Weapon Skill
Level.
For the Xbox version you will need to shoot out the nearby lights and
cardboard boxes for starters. You can also go into the nearby streets to
shoot cars and people. Then return to Emmet's area to restore your ammo.
When you complete the targeting exercises then head back to Big Smoke's
house to drop him off. When you do that then you will get a call from Sweet
who is upset that you haven't gotten some colors yet. You will now be
instructed to head over to the Binco store nearby.
The Families' color is green so I went and got the Green Hoody, Green
Jeans and a Green Rag Back.
After dressing up in the gang's colors and leaving the store then the
mission is successfully completed.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
In addition, all of the ProLaps, Bincos and SubUrbans open up (and will
show up on the in-game map).
Also, regardless of what Handgun you had before the mission (and whatever
amount of ammo it had), it will be replaced by the Pistol you used in the
mission (with minimum ammo). Plus, a Pistol Icon will open up at Emmet's
place.
You will also open up Big Smoke's set of missions but I will do those
later.

This is the earliest mission where you can take advantage of an Early

| Early Exploration Exploit \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
When the mission starts, do *NOT* enter Sweet's car. Just go away from the
area on foot and take a nearby car so you can explore and go into Unwelcome
Areas. There are plenty of pedestrians around so you can massacre them with
impunity if you desire.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get in the car and drive into Ballas turf. After the short cutscene ends
then drive near the first Ballas group and let your gang take care of them.
You can also get in on the action too by using your Sub-Machine Gun.
You will also notice a status line indicating the health of the car. If you
get it too low then your car will be destroyed and the mission will be
failed. But you can break away from the carnage and go to the Idlewood Pay
'N' Spray to get it repaired so you can go and finish things up.
After getting rid of the first group of Ballas then a second group will
appear just north of where you finished the first one. After getting rid of
the second group then a third group will appear in Glen Park.
After getting rid of the third group then you will get a 2-Star Wanted
Rating and you have to head to the Idlewood Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of it.
After removing the Wanted Rating then go back to Sweet's house to
successfully complete the mission.

Respect Gained plus $500.
You will also open up Ryder's set of missions but I will do those later.

Get a vehicle and drive over to Playa Del Seville before Sweet is killed.
When using the Sniper Rifle then you can get out long before you get there
and snipe all five assailants from a distance without taking any damage.
You can also get in close and use the SMG but you will probably lose some
armor in the process.
After killing the assailants then you will need a four-door car and place
it in the red circle. The Greenwood the Seville set was using in their
attack is perfect. Just get in and back up a little bit to get it in the
red circle.
But now the Seville set wants to give chase. Just go straight through the
group of cars before they can get going. Then make your way back to Sweet's
house to successfully complete the mission so he can settle some
"unfinished business".

Head over to a garage in Willowfield. After you arrive there then you will
be greeted by the garage owner who gives CJ a lowrider, a Savannah, with
hydraulics as payback for a favor he owes to Sweet. After getting the car
then back it up into the Mod Garage.
Here you can customize the car any way you want. After customizing the car
then head over to the lowrider meeting.
When you get to the meeting then you are asked to make a wager. After
making the wager then you begin a rhythm based mini-game.
You use your Right Analog Stick for this mini-game. At the bottom of the
screen is a circle.
You will see arrows moving across the bottom of the screen. You must move
the stick in the direction of the arrow when the arrow is in the circle.
You gain points when you time things just right. You must have more points
than your opposition in order to win the wager. Even if you're not good at
rhythm games this isn't a difficult mission.
After winning the wager then CJ confronts Cesar. After some talking then
Cesar convinces CJ that he is good with Kendl and they shake hands.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Whatever money you win in the wager.
You also open up the Loco Low Co. mod garage in Willowfield. However, only
certain cars can be modded here:
>>Savannah (the car you were just given).
>>Broadway.
>>Voodoo.
>>Remington.
>>Blade.
>>Tornado.
>>Slamvan.
You will also get a call from Cesar telling CJ about illegal street racing.
This will open up Cesar's house in El Corona. Save your new lowrider in the
El Corona Safehouse.
In addition, you open up the Lowrider Challenge which can be done at Unity
Station. I am not going to be covering it since it does not contribute
toward 100% Completion.

| Notes \
0=======================>
Was inspired by a suggestion from The Illusionist who told me that you
could use a Broadway for this race.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need a lowrider car for this race. Although you could use the one used
in the previous mission (Savannah), you can use any lowrider car that can
be modded at Loco Low Co. (look at the list above from the previous mission
- but you can't use the Slamvan because it won't be found until later in
the game).
I should also note that you do not have to modify it first. You can drive
it "plain".
After starting the mission with any lowrider car of your choice then follow
Cesar to the race and get in the yellow circle to begin.
There are five other cars with you and you must finish first to
successfully complete the mission. It should be noted that the Savannah
doesn't handle very well. When you smack into something, like a light pole,
then you will end up being spun 180 degrees most of the time.
After some experimentation I found, just like The Illusionist, that the
best car to use, because it doesn't spin out so easily, is the Broadway
(take the one sitting behind the Going Gas Station in Idlewood - where you
would normally start the Pimping Mission).
When you start the race then you will head west toward Santa Maria Beach.
When you get onto the main road then go into the left side to avoid the
other contestants. When you turn right and head north along the wide road
then go onto the left side and as fast as possible to gain position.
When you turn left at the tunnel then you will go through a series of right
and left turns. The last turn will put you on the pier itself. If you are
not too far behind, or better still, ahead, then put the pedal to the metal
to get to the finish line. If you are behind then it is possible to finish
in first place by making a mad dash on the pier.
The mission is successfully completed when you cross the finish line in
first place.

0=======================>
Drive over to Los Santos Police HQ to pick up Jeffery, er, OG Loc. When you
finally see him then you realize that he is a young high-strung gangster
wanna-be. He wants to take down some fool who has stolen his rhymes.
Drive OG Loc over to East Los Santos. While driving there then OG Loc will
tell you that his parole officer has lined him up with a job: "hygiene
technician".
When you get to East Los Santos then ring the doorbell. The cutscene that
plays explains that OG Loc wants to take down the person inside, Freddy,
not because he has stolen his rhymes but took advantage of him when he
"dropped the soap".
Now Freddy is making a run for it on his motorcycle. You and OG Loc now
give chase on the provided motorcycle.
This part is hard because of the long winding path Freddy takes to elude
you. Fortunately, Freddy will slow down in spots to allow you to catch up
so he can taunt you.
Still, if you get slowed up a lot, then you will lose Freddy and fail the
mission. Use your SMG, in addition to OG Loc's machine gun, to kill Freddy.
If you can't manage to kill Freddy during the chase then it will eventually
end at the basketball courts in East Los Santos. However, Freddy has three
other Vago friends and all four of them will fire on you.
But it may be easier to let the chase finish here than trying to kill
Freddy during it because he will be off his bike and standing still. Get
off your bike and kill all four, including Freddy, with your SMG.
One interesting option, according to Glen T. Winstein who was given this
information by Anurag Sinha, is when the chase begins, then get off of the
bike. Then go out into the street and toward Freddy.
Freddy will be waiting for you. You can whip out any weapon and shoot him
but you can't destroy him.
However, shooting Freddy counts towards your Weapon Stats so you can
upgrade your weapons here if you want to. But doing this, out here in the
street, will attract Police attention.
If you get close enough to Freddy then he will tear off. You can run back
to the bike and zip off without OG Loc. This will speed up your bike which
will allow you to catch up to Freddy and get closer to him so you can
destroy him quicker.
If you destroy him during the chase then a couple of interesting things
happen. First, when you get the cutscene with OG Loc and CJ together, then
it will be in East Los Santos, where the chase would end, regardless of
where you killed Freddy.
And second, any nearby cars will stand still. In addition, if you drive
further away from the nearby cars, then there will be no cars on the road.
There will be peds but no cars.
The only exceptions are Police vehicles when you have a Wanted Rating. When
you finally find and pick up OG Loc then things slowly start to return to
normal.
After killing Freddy, regardless of method, then you have to take OG Loc to
his job which is the Burger Shot in Marina. After dropping him off then the
mission ends successfully.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to pick this mission up between 22:00 and 6:00. After the
cutscene ends then head down to the beach party.
When you get there then you have to talk to the DJ. There are no shortcuts
here. The van is locked, indestructible (which means you can't knock off
the doors and drive off) and you can't even move it by ramming a car into
it. And, of course, you can't kill anybody.
Talk to the DJ and give two positive answers (by pressing D-Pad (Right)
then pressing D-Pad (Right) again). This will start a dancing mini-game.
You use the four main buttons (X, Triangle, Square and Circle (PS2) - A,
B, Y, X (Xbox)) for this one. Like the Lowrider mini-game in "Cesar
Vialpando", you have to press the correct button when it gets into the
circle. Timing each button right will get you the most points
You need 4,000 points to progress further in the mission.
There are some long chains of button presses during the middle and later
stages of the song. This is where you can trip up the most. If you don't
get 4,000 points then you will fail the mission.
The pattern never changes so, if you fail, then you have a better idea of
the pattern so you can do better next time. Just focus on the bottom of the
screen and ignore everything else. This will make it a bit easier.
If you get 4,000+ points then you are invited into her office (which is her
van - press D-Pad (Right) again to give a positive response).
Once inside the van then drive off and steal it. Now you have to take it to
a lock-up in Commerce. The other partygoers will give chase so put the
pedal to the metal.
After the van is in the lock-up then the mission is completed successfully.

0=======================>
You have to sneak inside the mansion where you found Oyster [LS-Y2] and
steal Madd Dogg's Rhyme Book. Enter the mansion through the main entrance.
This mission also provides a tutorial on stealth. You are forced to use the
Knife and can't switch to any other weapon at this point. Kill the first
guard. Then, after being told on how to use the shadows, kill the second
guard. After hiding from the third guard then sneak out and stealth kill
him.
Now crouch and get past the next two guards. As you get near the Rhyme
Book then you will also find a room with Body Armor and a nearby guard.
Kill the guard and steal the Rhyme Book.
After doing that then you can now use your other weapons. Switch to your
Silenced Pistol. The guards will be carrying Silenced Pistols from this
point on so you can get some additional ammo when you kill guards.
If you take the time to explore the mansion then you will find an exercise
room, VidGame Machines and additional Body Armor (on the second floor).
Make your way back to the main entrance killing any guards along the way.
After exiting the mansion then take the provided bike and ride back to the
Burger Shot to successfully complete the mission.

0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go and get the Molotovs in Downtown Los Santos. You are given 20 Molotovs
to do the mission with.
Now drive over to the house in East Los Santos. You have to throw the
Molotovs through the five windows to destroy the house and kill the
gangbanger.
There are several Vagos around the house. Just use the Molotovs against
them. If you run out of Molotovs then more will generate so you can
complete the mission. Having the Fireproof Feature will really help out
here.
After throwing Molotovs through all five windows then you will see a
cutscene of a girl in danger within the burning building.
Now you have to rescue her. Go into the house and make your way to the
stairs in the back then to her room.
The flames are too intense but there is a Fire Extinguisher in the
downstairs kitchen. Go and get it. Go back up to her room and aim the
extinguisher and the base of the flame to put it out.
Now the both of you have to get out of there but the house is collapsing.
The two of you have to go through several rooms to get out of the house
putting out some flames along the way. Make sure that the girl is behind
you as you progress through the house and toward the door.
After the two of you get out of the burning house then you have to take her
to her house just outside of Grove Street. As you park the car at her house
then you find out her name: Denise Robinson.
After you drop her off then the mission will end successfully.

0=======================>
Nothing other than the fact that Denise is your Girlfriend regardless of
whether you wanted a Girlfriend or not.
You will also get a call from Sweet. A member of the Family was selling
crack to some of the homies and now is hiding out in Glen Park with his new
Balla friends.....

Drive over to the Downtown Ammu-Nation to pick up the mission. Go inside
and have a look around. Go up to the counter and see what you can buy. If
you have a lot of money then you can get a lot of ammo for your guns.
Next, go over to Glen Park. You will note that the Glen Park area is
colored purple in the radar. You are then instructed to start a gang war so
you can take over Glen Park.
Kill about three Ballas to start a gang war. When the gang war starts then
all of the pedestrians and nearby cars disappear. In addition, Health and
Body Armor Icons will randomly appear in the streets surrounding the area.
The Ballas come in three waves. With each successive wave they get better
weapons. After destroying all three waves then you win the territory.
It is best to find a place where they can only get at you through one path
so you can funnel them for easy kills. Backyards are pretty good for this.
After completing the third wave then the traitor will come out of his
house. Chase him down and kill him to complete the mission.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
You will also open up all of the Ammu-Nations and the Ammu-Nation
Challenge. But it is best to wait until after Las Venturas is opened up
before doing the Challenge because that is when all of the Challenges are
available. At this point only two of the four Challenges are available.
In addition, you can now start taking over territories. However, it is best
to wait until later in the game to start doing this for reasons I will
explain later.
And, speaking of territories.....

\=========================================================================/
If you look on your in-game map then you will find several areas of Los
Santos that are color coded:
>>Green - Grove Street Families.
>>Purple - Ballas.
>>Yellow - Vagos.
Each of these areas are controlled by a gang. You can take over a territory
by going over to a rival area and shoot three gang members to start a gang
war.
Conversely, your own areas can be attacked as well.
When not on missions then you may get a warning that a rival gang is trying
to take over your territory. This only occurs when your territory is
bordering a rival territory. You need to get over to the disputed territory
and kill all of the rival gang members to keep it yours.
If you don't get there in time then you will lose influence but not really
lose the territory.
A nifty little trick is that if you have a Taxi or any vehicle that you can
do missions in, you can press Activate Vehicle Mission to start the vehicle
mission and then press Activate Vehicle Mission again to turn it off.
When you turn off the vehicle mission then the takeover will end and the
territory is still yours.
If you acquire all fifty three territories then you won't be getting any more
attacks from rival gangs. But, as I just said, you don't want to do that yet.
For now, let's move back the Main Story.....

After you jump the wall and are given instructions on what you can do with
your gang tell them to stay put then jump over the wall again to go
exploring.
You can still get Wanted Ratings but there will be no Cops on the street to
harass you. Go to the Pay 'N' Spray near the Cemetery to get rid of the
Wanted Ratings before finishing the mission.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have to pick this mission up between 9:00 and 17:00.
The game will instruct you on how to recruit members. Switch to your Melee
Weapon and target the gang members.
Press Up on the D-Pad to recruit them for this mission. Get in the car and
drive over to Los Sepulcros. You will have about four minutes to get to the
point on the radar.
After getting there then you will have to jump the wall and join Sweet and
the other gang members. The person targeted for elimination is Kane and he
will be wearing Body Armor.
Get your new members to follow you and attack Kane. He will have friends at
the funeral also so let your homies deal with them so you can focus on
Kane.
Get him before he can get away. Because of the armor, it will take quite a
few rounds for you to kill him.
After you kill Kane then take care of the rest of the Ballas. Then get into
the car with Sweet making sure that the rest of the homies (assuming any
survive) get in with you.
Then hightail back to Sweet's house to successfully complete the mission
(the Pay 'N' Spray is optional).

I got this letter from Bob Smith that can help make this mission a little
easier:
"When I had to do Grey Imports, I stole a car, went around the back,
jumped on the car, scaled the wall and missed a heck of a lot of crazy
guards. I managed to get straight to the keypad with a minimum of
fuss."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Before doing the mission go over and get some Remote Explosives near the
Inside Track Betting Shop in Montgomery. Then go to the C.R.A.S.H. icon in
Market to start the mission.
Get another vehicle and drive to the yellow marker in Ocean Docks. The best
way is through the flood control channel. When you get to the marker then
you will see a red circle at the top of the ramp that leads into the flood
control channel.
Switch to your Sniper Rifle and go into the red circle. After the cutscene
ends then step a little to your left and zoom in with the Sniper Rifle.
You will see a bunch of guards and a couple of Forklifts. The first
Forklift will be way in the back moving around. In addition, the first
Forklift will be transporting explosive barrels. Zoom in on him and shoot
the barrels to destroy him.
The second Forklift will be to the left but not doing anything. He too has
explosive barrels. Shoot the barrels to destroy this Forklift.
To the right of the second Forklift are two guards. Snipe one of them and
this will alert the others. Two more guards will head toward you but are
easy pickings with your Sniper Rifle.
Another guard will stop near a truck in the background. Remember what I
said to step a little to your left before using the Sniper Rifle?
Well, there is another explosive barrel sitting near the stairs by the
building but, if you just stood in the red circle area, then you can't
shoot it. By sidestepping left then you can hit the barrel and take down
the remaining guards.
After doing that then switch to your Pistol or Sub-Machine Gun of choice
and go to the keypad. Damage it and you will open the door.
When the door opens then you will be greeted by three gunmen. Kill them and
proceed inside.
You now have to get to the upper office but must go through a few corridors
on the lower level killing gunmen as you go.
After you shoot all of the gunmen then you are told to go up to the office
where the Russians and the Ballas are dealing. Go up the stairs and kill
the Balla in the entrance. Then go to the wall about six feet left of the
door.
This will trigger the second Balla and the Russian within the office. Do
NOT enter the office. Wait for the Balla to either exit the office or get
into position for you to shoot him.
After you kill the Balla then go back near the wall left of the entrance.
If you angle yourself correctly then you will see the Russian just standing
there inside the office through the sliver of the entrance. Switch to your
Sniper Rifle and fire at him through the entrance.
It will take several shots but, once you kill the Russian, then the mission
is completed successfully (and you didn't even have to chase him).

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to come between 12:00 and 5:00 to do this mission.
Drive to the Burger Shot in Vinewood where one of the chauffeurs for Madd
Dogg's manager is eating. You have to steal his car and meet up with the
other drivers before 22:00.
The game will state that you need to damage the car to force the driver out
so you can take it then head to a Pay 'N' Spray to repair the damage. But
I came up with a much better method of acquiring the target vehicle.
From your starting position, head east all the way to the main road. When
you get there then turn left and drive past the Downtown Ammu-Nation. Then
drive up the incline just north of the Ammu-Nation.
When you get to the top of this incline then you should get to an
intersection and you will get a phone call from OG Loc about the target
car. At this intersection, turn left.
You should see two black cars with a large gap between them on the right
side of the road (you should also see the Walk of Fame on both sides of
this road). After you pass these two cars then head to the SECOND
intersection then stop just before you get there.
Get out of your car, run into the intersection and head north in the
ONCOMING lane. Stop roughly partway up the hill.
You should notice that the target vehicle is heading towards you. When he
gets to you then he will stop (he won't run over you).
When he stops then just jack the vehicle from him and drive away before he
can shoot at you.
After acquiring the target vehicle then you need to drive over to the
awards ceremony to pick up the manager. If you damage the car even in the
slightest then you will have to go back to the Pay 'N' Spray.
After you meet up with the other drivers then you will have to park in the
red circle as close to the curb as possible. When you do that then you will
now drive over to the ceremony while keeping in-between the two security
cars in the motorcade.
Stop at the award ceremony to let in the manager. After the cutscene ends
then quickly drive off.
Now you have to drive the car off the Verona Beach Pier (to kill the
manager - he can't swim). The two security cars will give chase to stop
you.
If you jump off of the Pier and the security cars see you then you must
kill all of the security personnel, from both cars, to complete the
mission.
To save you that issue what you need to do is drive a little bit away from
the awards ceremony then stop. Usually one of the security cars will stop
next to you.
Drive-by it to make it flame then drive off before it explodes. Do the same
to the other security car.
When both security cars are destroyed then you can safely drive to the Pier
to get rid of the manager.
When you get on the Pier then the game will tell you to go as fast as you
can and jump out at the last second. But you can just drive off the Pier,
land in the water and get out of the sinking vehicle to successfully
complete the mission.

OG Loc will suggest that you get new clothes and a haircut but you don't
need to do any of that. The party will start at 20:00 and end at 5:00.
When the time is at 20:00 then you will get a phone call from OG Loc. CJ
doesn't feel like being there but OG Loc will state that there has been a
disaster: the mike is broken. So CJ changes his mind and decides to attend.
But, when CJ arrives, then he finds that they managed to find a replacement
microphone and OG Loc is doing his rapping. The problem is that OG Loc's
rapping is so awful that he has managed to drive the homies into the street
where they are chilling out.
Suddenly, another member of the Families comes up on a bike. The Ballas are
approaching with a large group and looking to attack.
The Families gather the homies and blockade the street with their cars as
the Ballas approach. When the Ballas get to the blockade then a shootout
begins.
Now you have to kill all of the Ballas. The first wave consists of the
group near the blockade. Another wave comes from the top of the bridge.
The last wave comes from the south and north part of the cul-de-sac.
Despite their numbers this isn't a very hard mission to do. If you have
Hitman Weapon Skill Level for your SMG then this is a bit easier.
After you have killed the last Balla then the mission ends successfully.

When you get to the meet in East Los Santos then you realize that his

approach are uncooperative so Big Smoke ambushes one of them with a
Baseball Bat.
The other guy now runs and you have to chase him down. You also need to use
the Super Sprint feature to catch up to him. If you maxed out your Stamina
or completed the Burglar Mission (for the Infinite Stamina Feature) then
this mission is really easy.
Climb over the short fences, go north instead of following him to the
Liquor store (you will be shot at by some Vagos) and close in on him on
the railroad tracks. Target and kill him with your SMG to end the mission
successfully.

| Notes \
0=======================>
Got a new suggestion courtesy Willum Hardy.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are three methods for completing this mission depending on your
style:
>>The Standard Method
*******************
When the mission starts then drive over to Unity Station. From there,
you will see some Vagos getting on the top of the train engine and make
a getaway.
After that then you are supposed to board the Sanchez, let Big Smoke
get on and chase the train so Big Smoke can shoot off the Vagos.
The best way to do this is to stay on the right side of the right
railroad track. This will give Big Smoke the best angle to kill the
Vagos quickly.
If done correctly then he will be able to kill the last Vago shortly
after entering the tunnel. After killing the last Vago then take Big
Smoke home to successfully complete the mission.
>>Who Needs Big Smoke?
********************
When the cutscene with the Vagos getting on the train ends then get on
the Sanchez as quickly as possible and speed off WITHOUT letting Big
Smoke on.
That's right, leave him behind. The first thing you will notice is that
you are going much faster without him riding with you so you can zip
ahead of the train. However, if you get too far ahead, then you will
fail the mission.
But I am not going very far ahead anyway.
Follow the track and go through the long left turn. Right after the
turn is a road crossing.
Just to the left is a small ramp. This goes up to an elevated walkway
then to a wide bridge railing. After climbing that then you will see
another small ramp that will lead you to the top of the 24 Hour Motel
in Idlewood.
Once you are on top of the Motel then get off the bike. From here you
can jump on top of the train as it passes. Don't get too close to the
edge of the roof though, you might jump over the train and land on the
ground instead.
If you make it to the top of the train then switch to your M4 then
target and shoot the Vagos. The Vagos are pretty tough (they will quite
a few shots to take down) but, because you are on top of the train
instead of on the bike, then they will just stand there making it a lot
easier to kill them.
The M4 is easily the best weapon to take down the Vagos. It is powerful
and fast. And you do need to kill them quickly while on the train.
Why? Because if you don't kill them quickly then you will be knocked
off the train by a low hanging pedestrian bridge in East Los Santos. It
should be noted that you can't use explosive weapons on the Vagos (even
the RPG).
After you kill the Vagos then jump off the train then grab another
vehicle. Based on information provided to me by Willum Hardy you can
use any vehicle to pick up Big Smoke instead of the Sanchez you use in
the mission.
After picking him up then drive Big Smoke over to his house to
successfully complete the mission.
>>Sniping the Train Operator
**************************
Then there is this method created by GTA_Phreak:
What he did was drive NORTH instead of following the train then head
east toward the 24 Hour Motel. He stopped on the road intersection just
north of the Motel (a Glendale that the train runs into during the
mission also appears here).
According to GTA_Phreak, the train won't go fast until you get close to
it. So, by going this route which takes you away from the train but not
far enough to get a mission failure, then the train moves slowly. When
you get to the intersection just north of the 24 Hour Motel then stop
and get off the bike and switch to your Sniper Rifle.
At this point you will see the train just making the turn. What you
need to do is snipe the train operator. When you do that then the train
will stop and the Vagos will be helpless.
From your vantage point (DON'T get close to the train or it will move
again) snipe the Vagos (it will take four rounds from the Sniper Rifle
to take each one down).
After that, either take Big Smoke back to his place (if you let him on
the bike) or go and get him (if you didn't let him on the bike), then
take him back to his place to successfully complete the mission.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Drive over to Downtown. Along the way Big Smoke will tell CJ about one of
his cousins who got laid out by some Russians. Big Smoke now wants some
payback.
The place you end up at is the Atrium. After the cutscene ends then you now
have to barge in.
When you do that then you will be assaulted by several Russians who are
trying to kill Big Smoke. You will also notice that whatever Sub-Machine
Gun you had in your inventory will be replaced by the Micro SMG. Having
Hitman Weapon Skill Level will also help you because that will allow you to
duel-wield the Micro SMG.
After killing all of the Russians in the lobby then get the Body Armor Icon
and follow Big Smoke outside. Now you have to kill more Russians. Quickly
target each one and kill them.
Now the hardest part of the mission begins. You and Big Smoke are now on a
motorcycle with Big Smoke driving.
You now have to shoot at the pursuing Russians. They will come at you with
motorcycles and cars. Your targets will be constantly moving which is why
this is difficult.
The chase will wind through the Downtown streets and continue through the
flood control channel. Then it will go through a tunnel and end at East
Beach.
You also have a bike health line to keep an eye on. If it is reduced to
zero then the bike will explode killing both of you and the mission will be
failed.
When dealing with bikes then shoot the driver which will cause the bike to
wipe out. When dealing with cars then shoot the passenger. The driver will
not shoot. This will make it easier to pick through your targets.
Take advantage of explosive barrels when going through East Beach near the
end of the chase.
If you manage to make it through in one piece then the mission will be
completed successfully.

| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
You will notice that you will end up with the Micro SMG with 80 rounds of
ammo. If you had a lot of ammo for your Sub-Machine Gun of choice prior to
this mission then you will lose it (and you would have to go back to
Ammu-Nation to replace).
In addition, this will also end Big Smoke's line of missions. I will now
move on to.....

0=======================>
Get into the Boxville and head over to Colonel Furhberger's house in East
Beach. You have about eight minutes to get the guns before daylight.
When you get there then get inside the house to get the guns. You have to
be quiet while inside the house otherwise you wake up the Colonel and fail
the mission. Trying to kill the Colonel will also fail the mission.
There are five crates of guns in the house but you only need to steal
three. There's one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top
of the stairs, one near the bedroom door and one inside the bedroom.
There's no bonus for getting all five so get the ones in the living room,
kitchen and at the top of the stairs. Crouch and get the crates. While
crouching then you can move faster without making sound. Once you pick up a
crate then you will stand and you must move slowly to prevent making noise.
According to Stefan Cvetkovic if you have your AK-47, M4 or Baseball Bat
weapon selected you can walk faster, without making more noise and save
some time.
Take the crate outside to the Boxville. Drop it into the truck by pressing
the Triangle (PS2) or Y (Xbox) button then head back inside.
After getting all three then go to the drop-off garage in Playa Del Seville
to successfully complete the mission.

At the end of this mission you are told about the Burglar Mission
which can be done in either of the three major cities. However, as you
already know at this point, you can do this mission prior to doing the Main
Story.

0=======================>
Get in Ryder's truck and head north. When you get to the train then you
will see that the Vagos have beaten them to it. Get out and get rid of the
Vagos with the SMG.
After that then the Ballas come to try to take the train. Get rid of the
four Ballas.
After that then get on the train. The train will now begin to move.
You have to throw crates from the train to Ryder following along in his
truck. You use the Target button to power up and throw.
You have to hit Ryder to get the crate in the truck. You also have to
deposit ten crates and a minute and a half to do it in.
This is the hardest part of the mission. Ryder is a moving target and you
don't have a lot of time. He is fairly close for the first part of this
run. It gets harder as you move faster and along the curves. He will get
closer to you near the latter end of the tracks.
After you successfully get ten crates to Ryder then you will end up with a
3-Star Wanted Rating. Go to the Idlewood Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of it.
Then head back to Ryder's house to successfully complete the mission.

0=======================>
Tweaked some things a bit based on info given to Glen T. Winstein by Anurag
Sinha. Glen then shared that info with me.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get into the truck and head over to Ocean Docks. When you get into the red
circle then you will see a small cutscene with the National Guard.
After that then get out of the truck.
Instead of heading to the gate, run back up the way and go around the large
building that is to your left when you park. Strangely enough, even though
this is supposed to be a military facility, there are no walls between the
large building and the water so you can go around this building instead of
climbing the wall.
Once you are near the armory then you will be attacked by guards. Kill the
three outside the armory and by the main gate. Then shoot the lock to the
armory and kill the two guards within. Also inside are four crates and a
Forklift.
One of my readers, Joshua Frech, suggested to me that you can move the four
crates to the entrance of the armory and move two additional crates outside
to where the other four are before you let Ryder in. This will speed up the
loading process when he backs the van up so you can reduce damage to him
because all of the crates you need are right there ready to be loaded up.
If you explore all of the nearby area then you will see that there are a
lot of crates outside the armory. All in all, there are seventeen crates.
You can actually destroy the crates, using a melee weapon or hitting it
with another crate (when in the Forklift), to get weapons and health.
Shoot the lock to the gate to let Ryder in. He will park the truck and
stand guard while you load it up.
Use the Right Analog Stick to move the lift up and down on the Forklift.
You have to load six crates into the truck. Get to a crate and lift the
crate about halfway up then drive to the back of the truck to deposit it.
Every so often Ryder will be attacked by the guards. When you either see a
guard coming to attack or you hear shooting then drive the Forklift between
the guard and Ryder and drive-by the guard before he can kill Ryder. If
Ryder dies then the mission is failed.
One way to reduce the number of soldiers you have to deal with, prior to
letting Ryder in, is to take the crates that are outside the armory and use
them to block the bottom of the two sets of stairs near the gate. Anurag
Sinha noted that the crates were more effective than using the Mesa which I
was using before.
Carefully line three of the crates, side by side, per set of stairs to
block them off. The soldiers come down these two stairs but, if they are
blocked off, then they can't reach Ryder.
After acquiring all six crates then CJ gets back in the truck and you need
to go to the lock-up where Emmet is at in Willowfield. The guards give
chase but they are fairly easy to lose even though you have the option to
throw crates off the truck to slow them down.
The best path to get to the lock-up is after the intersection at the end of
the bridge you will see the pink building that has the "TG Stages" logo on
it to your right. Right after the building is a chain link fence. Where the
chain link fence ends turn right. This will lead you right to Emmet's.
After reaching the lock-up safely then the mission ends successfully.

This is a mission with a Early Exploration Exploit.
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| Early Exploration Exploit \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
The are two points within the mission where you can leave to do some
exploring:
The first one is right after the cutscene of the Cops raiding the Motel.
Just leave the area when you regain control and ignore the SWAT.
The second one is when you are on the roof with Sweet. Kill the SWAT guys
on the chopper BUT leave the chopper alone. Jump off the roof or go down
the stairs to begin exploring.
Don't worry about Sweet, he'll be okay. He'll eventually shoot the chopper
down himself and will wait for you to come back.
This exploit will render San Andreas a ghost state (no peds or vehicles in
the street - except for parked cars). A good way to explore without any
interference from anybody.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Drive over to the Jefferson Motel where the meeting is being held at. After
dropping off Sweet then the Los Santos Police Department barges in and
starts storming the place.
Big Smoke and Ryder want to split but CJ needs to rescue Sweet. You are
then given a Shotgun with plenty of ammo however, I just switch back to my
trusty SMG.
Go into the Motel and to the upper level. When you turn the corner and
start going down the main hallway for Rooms 1-4 then you will see a woman
going from right to left between rooms. If you go inside the room she went
into then she will give you a kiss and restore your health.
Sounds good doesn't it? Not really.
Even though the game doesn't use a number system for health I will, for the
sake of example, say that your maximum health at the start of the game is
100 points and that the absolute maximum is 150. If your health is below
100 points then her kiss will bring it back up to 100 points regardless of
your current max health.
However, if your health is above 100 points, then her kiss will bring it
DOWN to 100 points. This means that if your health is 130 points you will
LOSE 30 points of health by kissing her. My recommendation is to not kiss
her unless your health is real low.
You can also use the Sprunk Machine at the beginning of this stage (in the
lobby) to help restore your health.
Take it slow and kill off the SWAT guys as they appear. At the next corner,
SWAT guys will rappel down from the skylight.
There will also be some more SWAT guys in the hallway for Rooms 5-8 that
you need to take care of. After killing them then go upstairs to the level
above you for some Body Armor.
Proceed down the hallway for Rooms 5-8 and to the next corner. As you get
there then you will encounter some more SWAT (there are some on the upper
level as well) and another woman who will run past you. Follow her for a
kiss if you are low on health. Unlikein the previous corner, there is no
Body Armor on the upper level.
Proceed down the hallway for Rooms 9-12 and kill any SWAT that appear.
Sweet can be found on the room on the right at the end of the hallway. Once
you make it to Sweet then the next phase of the mission begins.
Now the two of you are on the roof. You must deal with a helicopter with
four SWAT members hanging on the sides.
Target and kill all four SWAT members then focus on the helicopter itself.
There is a health line for Sweet and, if it disappears, then he dies and
the mission is failed. But you can usually get through this with him not
having any damage.
After killing the SWAT guys then destroy the SWAT chopper. After destroying
the helicopter then the last phase begins.
Follow Sweet and go back down to ground level. Then Big Smoke and Ryder
show up. You can finally leave the motel but the Police will give chase.
Now you have to protect the vehicle just like in the previous mission "Just
Business" (Big Smoke). You are also given an AK-47 to use for this stage of
the mission. If you have a high Weapon Skill Level for the AK-47 then you
will have a faster firing rate and increased range.
It's more difficult to hit the Police gunmen but you can destroy their cars
pretty quickly. Focus near the gunman. If you can hit him, good. If you
can't, then at least you can do damage to their car and destroy it which
will damage and slow down the other pursuers.
The path is a long and winding one with the targets constantly shifting.
You also have to keep your eye on the car health meter. If it disappears
then the car is destroyed and the mission is failed.
When the gun jams then you are at the end of the path. Watch the cinematic
and afterwards the mission is completed successfully.

| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
In addition, you will lose whatever Assault Rifle you had when you started
the mission be it the AK-47 or the M4.

0=======================>
Bolstered by their recent successes, Sweet wants to gather the homies and
do some major banging on the Ballas. They're going to meet under the
Mulholland Intersection and Sweet wants CJ to get armed.
As CJ leaves, he gets a call from Cesar who has something very important to
show him. With some reluctance, CJ agrees to meet him.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to the blip under the freeway which starts a cinematic. Cesar points to
an area just across the street. CJ is unimpressed when two Ballas come out
of a door.
But he is later shocked when he sees Big Smoke and Ryder following them.
Then out comes Officer Tenpenny and a green Sabre. The same green Sabre
that was seen at the time of Mrs. Johnson's murder.
Big Smoke has sold the Families out and CJ needs to tell Sweet of his
treachery.
CJ then suddenly realizes that Sweet is walking into a trap. He tells Cesar
to get Kendl and find a safe place. Now CJ must get to Sweet before he is
killed.
Get out of the car and get back into the car you came up with. Get to the
Mulholland Intersection as fast as you can. There is a Sweet health line.
If it disappears then Sweet dies and the mission is failed. However, you
still can get there in plenty of time to save him.
When you get there then CJ tells Sweet of Big Smoke's betrayal. Sweet wants
CJ to get out of there but CJ refuses. He is tired of running and now is
going to fight back.
At this point you have to kill all of the Ballas. There are many of them
outside of their cars.
A full health bar and full armor is pretty much required for this mission.
Quickly target and kill the Ballas. After that then another Ballas car will
show up. Kill all of the Ballas and another Ballas car will show up. Kill
those Ballas and you will successfully complete the mission.
Another way is to use the Sniper Rifle. Get to a safe distance and kill the
Ballas with the weapon. When the vehicles show up then shoot the vans to
make them blow up and kill the bulk of them. Do the same with the last car
then mop up any survivors.
If you took advantage of an Early Exploration Exploit and acquired a
Mini-Gun then this mission becomes much easier since you can easily blow up
the Balla cars before any of them can get out.
After successfully defending Sweet from the Ballas then the Police finally
show up and both CJ and Sweet are captured. This leads into.....

CJ finds himself inside a Police car with Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski. He
has been hooded so he couldn't see where he was being taken. When the hood is
removed, CJ will find himself in a remote area.
CJ is also informed that Sweet is in a prison hospital recovering from his
wounds and is awaiting trial. He also finds out that Big Smoke has been
working for Tenpenny for a long time and that street loyalty is so much
bullshit as the corrupt officer bluntly puts it.
Tenpenny then gives CJ a Camera and an assignment. He wants CJ to kill a
snitch somewhere near Mount Chiliad and wants evidence of the kill.
If CJ disobeys then Sweet will face a hard time in prison. CJ has no choice
but to do Tenpenny's bidding.

You are now in Angel Pine which is in Whetstone County of the Badlands
region. As of right now the Badlands and San Fierro area are officially open
and ready for exploration.
As you look at the in-game map then you find that all of the Safehouses in
Red County that you couldn't have earlier are now ready for purchase. You can
also go back to Los Santos if you want.
You will also find that all of the territories that Grove Street Families had
will be lost. So, if you went and took over territories after the mission
"Doberman" (Sweet Johnson), then your efforts will be wasted.
All of your weapons are gone but there is a Ammu-Nation in Angel Pine so you
can get them back. You also have a Camera with unlimited "ammo" which will
make it easier to do the San Fierro Photo-Ops if you haven't already done so
with one of the Early Exploration Exploits.
You should also go and get a Sniper Rifle for the next mission. You can go
back to Los Santos or, if you did all of the San Fierro Photo-Ops (regardless
of whether or not you used any of the Early Exploration Exploits), then you
can go to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse in San Fierro to get one.
You are given a free Safehouse near the C.R.A.S.H. icon and there is another
Safehouse in Angel Pine that you can, and should, purchase. Now is the time
to save the game and start exploring this new region of San Andreas.

The Badlands area is sparsely populated and very hilly. A good place to get
away from it all. The main landmark is the largest mountain in San Andreas:
Mount Chiliad. The largest town in Badlands is the small town of Angel Pine
and this is where you start out at for the next phase of the story.
San Fierro, based on San Francisco, is to the north of the Badlands area. A
tightly packed and hilly metropolis. Very diverse in their neighborhoods and
very liberal in their attitudes. With lots of things to see and do it is a

| C.I.2. Mount Chiliad Challenge [MCCN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
At the top of Mount Chiliad, just north of Angel Pine, is a Mountain Bike. If
you get on it between 7:00 and 18:00 you will trigger the Chiliad Challenge.
The Challenge consists of three downhill bike races. You must finish first in
one race before you can do the next. By successfully completing all three
races then you will inch closer to 100% Completion.
The higher your Cycling Skill, the easier this will become because you won't
fall off your bike as easily.
The first race is the Scotch Bonnet Yellow Route. You go up against five
other bikers in this race.
It will take some time to get used to the bike as you go downhill. It may be
tempting to pedal really fast on the straight-aways but that will cause you
to wipe out at the curves and lose position.
Let gravity speed you along and brake carefully at the curves. This will
allow you to keep up with the pack or keep you ahead if you are in front.
There are guardrails to keep you from flying off the course and, if you are
unlucky to fall off, then you will be placed near where you tumbled.
And, no, you can't use your Sub-Machine Gun on the other competitors. You
will be automatically disqualified if you do.
When you start to see Angle Pine then you are nearing the end of the race.
There is one last hairpin turn to make before going on a long straightaway to
the Finish Line. Here you can cut loose to get ahead or stay ahead.
The second race is the Birdseye Winder. Like the first race, you go up
against five other bikers.
The same strategy applies to this course as in the last one. One difference
in this course is that there are no guardrails for most of the race so you
will need to be more careful so you don't fly off.
The third and final race is the Cobra Run. Here you go up against just two
other bikers and you start way behind them.
This course is shorter but harder. You will need to use your brake a lot
because of the wooden walkway you have to go on in the first part of the
course.
After that then it gets easier. Once you navigate the one hairpin turn on the
course then you can start to speed up because the course will straighten out
and you can catch up to the other competitors so you can finish first.
If you get frustrated trying to win any of these races then there is a sneaky
method you can use to win the race (as posted on the GameFAQs Message Boards
by TheLegendaryOne).
Let all of your competitors finish ahead of you. Stop just short of the
Finish Line.
The race doesn't end until you cross the line. Look ahead of you and you
should see your opponents sitting there.
Get off your bike and use your Sniper Rifle to snipe them. You can get
disqualified for shooting them during the race but, once they cross the
Finish Line, then you can do what you want to them.
You will notice as you kill each competitor you will climb up in the
standings. Once you kill all of them then you will be in first place. Get
back on the bike and cross the line to finish first and win the race.
However, if you are really behind the others, then you may find that some of
the other competitors won't be at the finish line when you get there. Some of
them will leave the area and head out toward the Angel Pine Junkyard.
If you're fortunate then you may find them hanging around the wall by the
Junkyard. But, if you go past the entrance to the Scrap Yard, then you will
be disqualified.
The thing to do here is go to the trees before the Junkyard, get off of
your bike and snipe them. But, if they aren't there, then you will lose the
race because you won't be able to complete the exploit.

| C.I.4. San Fierro Photo-Ops [SFPO] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Scattered around San Fierro and surrounding areas are what is known as
Photo-Ops. There are fifty of them and they can only be collected by using a
Camera.
There are nineteen Camera Icons that can be found in San Fierro you can use
to get and fill your Camera with film. As noted earlier, the Camera is a
Handheld Item and will replace any other Handheld Item you may already have.
You can only see the Photo-Op icon by looking through the Camera. The
Photo-Ops are easier to spot during the nighttime because they will be
glowing purple clouds in front of certain places.
If you are having trouble finding Photo-Ops then you can wait until you have
done the missions "Black Project" (Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard) or
"Breaking The Bank At Caligula's" (The Heist) to unlock the Thermal Goggles
and Night Vision Goggles respectively. You can find the glow of the Photo-Ops
regardless of the time of day when you use either of the two Goggles.
However, I do recommend the use of the Night Vision Goggle over the Thermal
Goggles. You can see your surroundings better.
The best time to do Photo-Ops (other than by using any of the Early
Exploration Exploits) is after completion of the mission "The Green Sabre"
(Sweet Johnson) but before doing the mission "Badlands" (C.R.A.S.H.).
Here you are given a Camera with an unlimited roll of film so you don't have
to worry about trying to find Camera Icons to refill your Camera.
After you find a Photo-Op then zoom in a little and click the Camera to
acquire it. On some Photo-Ops you don't have to actually see it to get it
(this is handy when doing long range shots) while others are a little bit
picky.
And, because you can do long range shots, then you don't have to be right
next to a Photo-Op to acquire it. This makes acquiring all fifty pretty easy.
You will get $100 per Icon and a $100,000 bonus for getting all fifty. You
will also spawn the following Weapon Icons at the Xoomer Garage Safehouse
where you start the San Fierro missions later on in the game:
>>Grenades
>>Sniper Rifle
>>Shotgun
>>Micro SMG
Listed below, by neighborhood, is the Photo-Op list for San Fierro. The Map
co-ordinates refer to the printed map that comes included with the game disc.
Landmarks are based off of icons on the in-game map, easily notable land or
city features or other Photo-Ops.
It should be noted that, if you use an Early Exploration Exploit, then
Safehouses, Gyms and Arena Events won't appear on the in-game map (consult
the map that comes with your copy). The same goes for Ammu-Nations if you do
an Early Exploration Exploit before the mission "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson)
and for certain Clothes Stores.

| C.I.5. Hippy Shopper Courier Asset Mission [HPCM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In Queens, parked outside the Hippy Shopper, is a bike (Freeway). By getting
on the Freeway then you activate the Hippy Shopper Courier Asset Mission.
Like the Commerce 24-7 Courier Asset Mission in Los Santos, you are required
to drop off packages at various places around San Fierro then head back to
the Hippy Shopper to complete the run.
Doing the four runs for this Asset Mission won't take too long because the
Freeway is faster than the BMX. A high Bike Skill is helpful so you don't
fall off should you wreck.
Just like in the Commerce 24-7 Courier Asset Mission, you have to throw
packages through the red coronas shown on your map. You have do this Drive-By
style using the Look Left and Look Right buttons in conjunction with the
Attack Button.
If you miss then you can get a second chance by picking up the package and
trying again. Part of your score is determined by how many packages you bring
back to the Hippy Shopper when you complete a level.
There are a total of four runs to complete:
0=======0
| Run #1 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 3
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 3 minutes
0=======0
| Run #2 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 4
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #3 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 5
--Packages = 7
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #4 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 6
--Packages = 8
--Time Limit = 7 minutes
For the last run go south toward the Avispa Country Club to get the one there
then head northeast to get some more. Then head west to get the rest then
back to the Hippy Shopper to complete the last run.
Upon completion you will gain a Money Icon outside the Hippy Shopper that
will generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per day.
It should also be noted that the Freeway is on one of the Export and Import
lists that you will be doing later in the game. So, after completion of this
Asset Mission, then go and save the motorcycle so you can use it complete one
of the car lists when you get to do them.

| C.I.6. NRG-500 Challenge [NRCH] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Back where you can acquire Photo-Op [ESB-P31] is a dry-dock. Near some crates
by the edge, and under the roof, is a NRG-500 bike.
Getting on it will trigger the NRG-500 Challenge. There are eighteen Coronas
that must be picked up to successfully complete the Challenge.
You start with ten seconds and get ten additional seconds for each Corona
picked up.
Most of them are on the ground or by a wall and are easy to get. However,
there are seven Coronas high above the edge and you must zoom up the wall and
fly up to get them.
Get all of the ones on the ground first to get enough time so you can go
after the ones in the air. Getting the ones in the air is pretty tough
(because they can be hard to line up and get the correct speed to get up and
acquire them) and it may take you several tries before successfully
completing this Challenge.
However, there is a little trick, from Glen Winstein, that can make this a
bit more tolerable. Go up to a corona but stop just before you get there.
Wait for the clock to count down to zero. When it reaches zero but, before
the corona disappears (to indicate a mission failure), then tag the corona.
If done right then you will get the ten seconds but the timer will no longer
be there.
You now can do the challenge without worrying about running out of time. If
you damage the bike too much then you can run to the nearby Pay 'N' Spray
(near Cranberry Station) to repair your bike.
Successfully completing this Challenge will inch you closer to 100%
Completion.

| C.I.7. "Blood Bowl" (Corvin Stadium) [BDCS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Down in the southern part of San Fierro, in Foster Valley, is Corvin Stadium.
Here you can do an Arena Event known as the "Blood Bowl".
The event is similar to the BloodRing event in Vice City. You start with a
thirty second timer which counts down.
You then go around collecting markers, while getting knocked around by other
cars, to get additional time to push your total time over a minute so you can
successfully complete the event. It was pretty easy to do in Vice City.
But the Blood Bowl is much harder. For starters, each car, including yours,
has a gunman that will shoot at other competitors.
Of course, you are being shot at by others. There are repair icons that
appear from time to time that will allow you to repair your vehicle.
The main reason this is much harder is because the marker will constantly
jump around the place thus making it difficult for you to get. This is
because of the other cars aggressively going after the markers and getting
them before you do.
Don't be surprised if you go through several straight attempts before you can
actually get any markers period.
The best thing to do is just focus on the markers and not on trying to
destroy any cars. Any car that is destroyed will be immediately replaced.
Don't go out of your way to get repair icons unless you are seriously
damaged.
Once you successfully complete the Blood Bowl then you will inch closer to
100% Completion and the Bloodring Banger will spawn outside Corvin Stadium.

And don't forget to make a visit to Cobra Martial Arts, in Garcia, to learn
new moves from the Martial Arts Trainer to get closer to 100% Completion.
And, according to Naveen Akshar, you don't have to completely knock him out.
Just push (or hit) him out of the ring to defeat him so you can learn new
moves.

0=======================>
Get on the nearby Sanchez (if there is not one then get a nearby car) and
go to the blip near the base of the mountain. From there, go up to where
the yellow blip is (if you do not have a Sanchez, get one from the building
by the Finish Line for the Mount Chiliad Challenge).
As you get near the house then you'll see that it is guarded by four FBI
agents. Stay as close to the west edge of the plateau as possible and stop
at a point northwest of the house.
Then use the Camera to look at the house. If you stopped correctly then you
should see the snitch through the door.
Switch to your Sniper Rifle and kill the snitch.
**IMPORTANT: Aim for the body NOT the head. If you shoot him in the head
then you will blow it off thus rendering him unidentifiable
and you will fail the mission.
After killing the snitch then zoom out a little bit. The four FBI agents
will make a beeline straight for you and will come into view of your sniper
scope. Pick them off as they appear.
After killing the agents then go over to the dead snitch, switch to your
Camera and take pictures. Then go back out, get on the bike and head for
the drop-off point to successfully complete the mission.

off a couple of rednecks. After they exit then she introduces herself as
Catalina.
Yes, THAT Catalina. The same one from "Grand Theft Auto III" and she is every
bit as bitchy and psychotic here as she was in Liberty City.
As they drive off then she informs Carl that she plans to take this county
"for every stinking cent". She has cased four soft targets to rob:
>>A Liquor Store in Blueberry.
>>A Bank in Palomino Creek.
>>A Betting Shop in Montgomery.
>>A Gas Station in Dillimore.
The thing here is that you can hit these targets in any order. But I'm going
to go for the nearest target which happens to be the Gas Station.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get in the truck. The game will then instruct you on how to hook up the
truck with the gas tank. After hooking the truck up then speed down the
street ahead of you and take a right.
The destination is in Flint County but the path is pretty straightforward.
The station attendants will give chase and try to stop you however, if you
can get a good enough speed, then they will not be able to do much of
anything.
However, if you're having trouble dealing with the attendants, then you can
get rid of them before driving off. Once you have attached the cab to the
truck then the attendants will give chase.
Get out of the cab and run across the street. The attendants will be trying
to detach the cab.
Switch to your Heat-Seeking RPG, lock onto the car and wait for it to turn
red. When they start backing away to try again then launch the rocket. It
should hit the car when it is far enough away from the cab so you don't
damage the cab in the explosion.
Another option is to use the Remote Grenades. Toss one onto the back end of
the attendant's car while he is underneath the tanker.
Run far enough away and switch to the Detonator. When he backs out to try
again then detonate the Remote Grenade when he is safely away from the
tanker.
After the attendant's car has been destroyed then get back in the cab and
drive off uncontested.
When you get to the RS Haul in Flint County, regardless of method, then the
mission is successfully completed.

| Reward \
0=======================>
$5,000.
You will also get a call from someone called The Truth. He is an associate
of Officer Tenpenny and you can meet him at a hotel in Angel Pine.
In addition, you will also open up the RS Haul Trucking Asset Mission.
However, only six of the eight missions are available at this time. So I am
going to go over the RS Haul Trucking Asset Mission later in the guide when
I open up the Desert and Las Venturas area.

0=======================>
Back when they were still known as DMA Design, Rockstar North released a
game for the N64. In it, you had to save the earth from a relentless alien
species that had eaten mankind to the brink of extinction.
You had to go back in time to various points and stop them. You had large
countrysides to explore and you could grab any vehicle you needed to use
plus you had to do various missions in order to stop the invasions.
Sound familiar? You could say that the seeds for what would be later known
as "Grand Theft Auto III" were planted here.
And the name of this game?....."Body Harvest".
I also tried a new way to get to the Combine Harvester which is much
simpler than the old method that I was using before.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get to the blip just outside the farm. You are then instructed to get the
Combine Harvester near the back of the farm. You are also supposed to go
through the farm and take down the various workers to get at the harvester.
But there is a way to get to the Harvester without incurring any combat
from the workers. When you regain control then angle right and go over the
small hill by the large trees.
When you get to the fence then head east and go around the corner. Once
around the corner and going north then just head straight for the back of
the farm where the Combine Harvester is doing its work.
When the harvester is close enough then jump over the wall and run to it
then jack it. After you get the harvester then go down the dirt road while
running over the workers as you go and back to the road.
Turn left and then turn right onto the next dirt road. Then follow this
road back to The Truth's farm to successfully complete the mission.

In addition, you can now purchase Rifles and Remote Explosives at all

Kendl out of the city and into Angel Pine.....

This is not a mission but a cutscene in which Carl meets up with Cesar and
Kendl. Carl is informed that Big Smoke is the main pusher in Los Santos and
he gets shipments twice a week from San Fierro. Carl decides to keep an eye
out for these shipments.
It should be noted that on specific days Cesar will call Carl and let him
know about a shipment. You then have the option of going after it.
Fortunately, you do not need to go after these couriers for 100% Completion.
Therefore, I won't be going into any detail about them.
After leaving the trailer then Carl gets a call from an upset Catalina
demanding to know where he was. This also opens up.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to the bank then you are in charge of crowd control. There are
three bank employees and a guard that you have to keep watch over.
They have their hands raised in the air and will slowly put them down. If
one of them manages to put their hands down then the alarm will be raised.
To keep that from happening, you have to target one of them and move the
reticle from person to person to keep their hands up. However, no matter
how fast you are, they will always manage to sound the alarm.
So, the best thing to do is to target and shoot the guard right away so he
doesn't shoot back at you.
Next, use the Shotgun and shoot open the ATM machines (three of them) and
get the cash. Then the two of you make your way through the back door and
down the alley.
However, the Cops are waiting for you. Kill all the Cops you see and get to
the end of the alley. Then two Cops on motorcycles show up. Kill the two
Cops and get on the motorcycles.
Catalina leads the way and is going to be chased by two other motorcycle
Cops. Shoot the Cops to get them off her tail.
While you are trying to do that then you will have to make a bridge jump.
If you fail the jump and fall in the water then another motorcycle Cop will
show up on the shore. Kill him and take his bike so you can catch up to
Catalina.
Follow Catalina into Montgomery. The Cops then converge and knock her off
her bike.
You have to kill all of the Cops then get back on the bike so you can take
Catalina back to her hideout to successfully complete the mission.

You will also get a call from Cesar. He informs Carl about street racers
from San Fierro who race in the countryside to get away from the Cops.

The mission here is to chase down the three remaining Quadbikes and kill
the riders. Catalina will do some shooting but you can speed things up by
using your SMG.
The Quadbike handles a little differently than a regular bike and can take
some getting used to. Keep up with them the best you can.
When you manage to kill a rider then he will drop a briefcase. You don't
need to pick it up when he drops it. You can get it when you are finished
with the others.
You can't let them get too far ahead or too far behind otherwise you will
fail the mission.
One method and probably the best one, is to chase them but not kill them.
They will eventually lead you to a trailer park in north Las Colinas.
There they will dismount their Quadbikes. Get off of yours and quickly kill
all three would-be-robbers before they enter the hideout.
Then pick up the briefcases and take Catalina back to the hideout to
successfully complete the mission.
Another method recommended to me by Bragon the Bat is to find and use
another car (you can get a Ambulance from the Hospital in Montgomery during
the chase). With this you can ram them off their bikes and run them over.
In addition, Catalina also has a better vantage point to shoot off the
riders.

When you get inside then you are to blow open the door with the Remote
Grenades. Throw one on the door then go into the furthest corner and
detonate it.
Once the door is blown off then go into the room and do the same to the
safe. After blowing open the safe then Carl will get the money and the both
of you exit the Betting Shop.
Now you have a 4-Star Wanted Rating and you must go to a Pay 'N' Spray to
get rid of it. The closest one is in Dillimore. Make your way to Dillimore,
while dodging the occasional Police vehicle, to use the Pay 'N' Spray.
After you get to the Pay 'N' Spray then use it and take Catalina back to
the hideout to successfully complete the mission.

When Carl gets to the starting line, south of Montgomery, then he is
introduced to an Asian gentleman named Wu Zi Mu. Woozie, as he likes to be
called, appears to be a nice enough gentleman. However, there is a race to
be done so Carl gets down to business.....

0=======================>
I had a reader, Tim Stam, suggest to me that you can use any car for this
race. He preferred using the Coach because he could knock the other riders
out of the race.
I decided to try the Firetruck because of its size and speed. However, I
found out that you cannot use Police and rescue vehicles for this race.
Bummer.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You go up against three other racers. When you start the race then cut to
the right as you get near the first checkpoint and get in first place right
off the bat.
If you don't get the lead here then there is another opportunity under the
large rock outcropping where the road is wide enough to pass up cars.
Driving on the dirt road makes the car handle a little differently than on
the road. After you get the lead then take it easy on the dirt road,
especially around corners.
Care must be taken when you get underneath the large road bridge. If you're
not careful turning underneath the bridge, so you can get on to the small
wooden bridge, then you can fly off into the water and lose the race.
Another bad area is the EasterBoard Farm in Blueberry. Just stick to the
road and avoid going into any farm buildings.
A nice shortcut is inside the group of hairpin turns leading up The
Panopticon. It is a short dirt road with a Police Bribe in it.
After going up the hairpin turns on the Panopticon then you'll end up at
the shanty town area at the top. This is where the race will end.
If you're in first place when you get here then you'll win the race.

You'll also get a business card from Woozie in case you find yourself in

You'll also note that, regardless of what vehicle you came up with, you'll
use a black sports car (I believe it's the one you won from Woozie in the
last race).
The course is exactly the same one as in the last race except you are going
in the opposite direction heading back to the farm south of Montgomery. The
same strategy from the last race pretty much applies here too. Don't forget
the nice little shortcut in the hairpin turns north of the starting line.
When you finally win the race then Catalina gives Carl the deeds to a
garage in San Fierro. After that then Carl and Catalina say their final
good-byes and the mission is successfully completed.

| Early Exploration Exploit \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
When you get into the Mothership then you can drive it around or leave it
to go exploring. Just don't take the Mothership to the marker in San
Fierro.
With this exploit you can kill everyone, including Cops, without getting
any Wanted Ratings (that is, if you want to do any custom rampages).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have five and a half minutes to destroy the fields and you are given a
Flamethrower to torch them. Switch to another weapon, like the SMG and run
to the furthest point then switch back to the Flamethrower. You will also
be approached by a Police helicopter which will hover overhead.
Sweep the fields for a couple of seconds to start them flaming. They will
burn on their own after that.
If you have the Fireproof Feature then you can just wade into the fields
and set them ablaze. Quickly move from section to section keeping an eye on
the radar to see if you missed any.
After that then CJ will start to get a little high from the smoke but won't
cause any problems.
But it is also at this point that CJ tells The Truth to fire up the
Mothership which is the name for The Truth's van. Head to one end of the
fields, arm your Sniper Rifle and zoom in on the hovering helicopter.
Now start shooting at the helicopter. You will notice that your scope will
move around due to your dizziness but be patient and take good shots.
After you shoot up the helicopter a bit then you will hear the engine slow
down which indicates the extensive damage you are doing. A few more shots
will destroy the chopper and it will go down not far from the Mothership.
This will make the mission easier since you don't have to worry about
destroying it after you clear the fields.
It should also be noted that you cannot destroy the chopper before The
Truth enters the Mothership. If you do then the chopper will drop onto The
Truth and you will kill him and fail the mission.
Another option to destroying the fields, as told to me by Apearsall20, is
to buy about sixty Remote Grenades. Then, when the mission starts, use them
instead of the Flamethrower.
Scatter a few around some of the fields then explode them. This will take a
nice chunk out of some of the fields. Repeat where necessary until the
fields are destroyed.
Regardless of method, after destroying all of the fields, then go back to
The Truth who is sitting in the Mothership.
Enter the Mothership then drive to the Xoomer Garage in San Fierro, which
you won from Catalina, to successfully complete the mission.
If you did not destroy the chopper with the Sniper Rifle then The Truth
will give CJ a RPG to deal with it. The Truth then starts driving up the
road but stops after a short distance. Then use the Rocket Launcher to
destroy the chopper which is following the Mothership.
By the way, make sure that the Chopper is not too close to the van when you
blow it up. I found out the hard way that you can fail the mission if the
Chopper crashes near the van. The flames from the downed Chopper will set
the van on fire and it will eventually explode killing The Truth and
failing the mission.
But the Sniper Rifle method of destroying the chopper makes this other
method unnecessary.

| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
CJ will also discover that the Xoomer Garage Safehouse is a dump and that
he feels he was duped by Catalina.
Don't forget to buy the newly available Safehouses in San Fierro. You
should also consider moving any cars you have saved for the Import / Export
Car Lists from Los Santos to San Fierro.

0=======================>
This mission takes place on the rooftop of Zero RC. Berkley is using remote
controlled planes to attack and destroy the four transmitters that Zero
owns.
Carl is given a Mini-Gun to destroy the planes and protect the
transmitters. In addition, you can't move from your one spot during the
attack.
The attack lasts for three minutes and you must keep at least one
transmitter intact at the end of those three minutes. The best time to do
this mission is in the daytime so you can see the planes as they approach.
The planes will be carrying bombs to drop on the transmitters.
I should note that the bombs can be destroyed without destroying the plane.
If you see a black puff of smoke coming from underneath the plane then you
have destroyed the bomb and the plane becomes useless.
In addition, the red blips on the radar are BOMBS not the planes. Destroy a
bomb and the blip disappears.
This information will allow you to go from target to target quickly instead
of wasting time trying to destroy planes you don't need to.
With a minute left, things start to go crazy as multiple swarms of planes
attack. If you head into this last minute with all of your transmitters
intact then you should be okay. You'll end up losing a couple though in all
of the craziness but you can still succeed.
If you have at least one transmitter intact at the end of the three minute
attack then you'll successfully complete the mission.

In the past versions of the guide I mentioned that this mission was plagued
by Bad Design because you ran out of fuel a lot when trying to do this
mission. As it turns out, this mission did have a design flaw, or a bug,
that Rockstar went and corrected.
In the PS2 AO Version you used fuel regardless of what you did. You could
use the throttle all the way, you could glide, you could drive forwards and
backwards on the ground.
Didn't matter. You always used fuel.
This made the mission rather frustrating for a lot of people. When the game
first came out then you could go to the message boards and find at least
five topics telling how much this mission sucked.
I got an e-mail from Andrew Petrie saying that you could glide without
using fuel. I first tried it out on the PS2 AO Version but that didn't
work. I tried it out on the Xbox AO Version and it did work. When I got the
Xbox SE Version then I found that it worked there also.
But, when it came time for the PS2 SE Version, would Rockstar fix this
mission the same way for that version? The answer is yes.
So only the PS2 AO Version has the fuel problem that has now been corrected
on all other versions.

I am going to break things down into three parts. The first part lists the
targets in the mission, the second part lists the PS2 AO Version strategy

>>Target #1 - Rides a bicycle and starts just south of Zero RC. Will bail

>>Target #2 - Drives a van and starts just southwest of Zero RC. Will bail

>>Target #3 - Drives a van and starts in Hashbury. Will speed up when shot.
A passenger will try to shoot down the plane from the
speeding van.
>>Target #4 - Rides a motorcycle and starts in King's. Will speed up when
shot at. A passenger will shoot at the plane from the
speeding bike.
>>Target #5 - Drives a van and starts in Downtown. Will bail when shot at.
Will not attack the plane on foot.

I tried some suggestions that I've seen on the message boards and, after
playing around with them, I've polished it into a fairly reliable strategy
to dealing with this mission.
There is still some element of luck involved so it won't work 100% of the
time but I feel that this will increase your chances of successful
completion a bit.
This strategy is going to broken into three parts.
The first part involves dealing with the first three targets. The faster
you can get through part one, the better off you will be.
As you take off then angle left. You should see Target #2. Angle slightly
downward and fire off a burst. The driver should bail but leave him alone.
Angle slightly left and head down the street. You should see Target #1.
Shoot at him until he bails but leave him alone also.
Next, turn right and head west over the building (so the couriers can't get
a good shot at you). If you do everything correctly then by the time you
get across the street and into the park it should look like you have not
used up any fuel.
There are two reasons for doing the first two targets this way. One, this
is faster than trying to destroy them outright and second, this will keep
them from wandering outside the city limits while you take care of the
other three targets.
They will be chasing you instead of you chasing them. You will deal with
them in part three.
As you enter into Hashbury then you should see Target #3 which will attack
you when it is shot at. Once you see him then let go of the gas so you can
glide and then start shooting him from afar.
This will reduce the chances of the van's gunner hitting you with gunfire.
After destroying him then quickly turn northeast.
This ends Part One. The faster you get through this, the more fuel you will
have for Part Two.
Part Two involves the two northernmost targets. Go for Target #5. This
target is the one most likely to get out of range by going north and by
destroying him quickly will keep things manageable.
When you see him then dive while shooting at him. By the time you get to
him then his van should be flaming.
You'll probably end up on the ground by the time the van explodes. Look and
see if the courier exited his van.
If he did then turn your plane while on the ground and kill him. Another
option is to land behind him then shoot up his van to destroy it.
After that van is taken care of then lift off and go after Target #4.
Land behind them and get as close as you can. Make sure they are past an
intersection before doing anything.
Fire off a long burst and that should be enough to get the cycle flaming so
it will blow up. This is the toughest target because, when you fire on him,
then he will quickly speed off (and, if you are at an intersection, then he
will turn and get out of your line of fire).
Also, they are quite accurate with their machine guns so, if you try to
take them from the air, then you'll more than likely be shot down and fail
the mission. This ends Part Two.
The last part involves getting the last two couriers you caused to bail and
fly back to Zero RC. Hopefully you should have enough fuel to head back
towards the street by the park in Garcia (that also runs in front of Zero
RC).
Look and see on the map where the remaining two couriers are. Then land on
the ground near their position and let them come to you. They should still
be fairly close to Zero RC. Once you see a courier then angle your plane
and shoot them when they get close enough to you.
When you kill them both then fly up and land on Zero's rooftop to
successfully complete the mission.

Because you can glide without using fuel then this mission becomes much
easier. I usually try to get rid of the most difficult targets first so,
once I lift off from the roof of Zero RC, then I turn north and head for
Target #4.
I use the throttle just enough to get up above the buildings and then let
go so I can glide.
When I get to Target #4 then I land behind them so I can destroy them. This
is actually the most difficult part of this mission.
Even though you are on the ground and just behind them they are tough to
destroy. And they are quite good with their machine guns too.
Once I know that they are past a signal light and going straight down a
street then I let out a long burst of machine gun fire.
If they end up being destroyed by that initial barrage, good. If not then
I just let them get way ahead then fly back up and get high above the
street.
Once I am in glide mode then I chase them down but remain way behind them
so I can limit the damage they do. After they have been destroyed then I
move on to Target #5 in Downtown.
You can either land behind him or dive down while shooting to destroy
Target #5. From there, I go back to Hashbury and go after Target #3 which
is the second hardest to destroy.
Keep way behind him while firing, but remain in glide mode, so you can
limit the damage he does to you. After getting rid of him then I go after
the remaining two targets.
I usually go after Target #2 next. After taking care of him then I finish
up by landing behind Target #1 and then fire. I turn the plane slightly
while on the ground to aim my guns so I can get rid of the rider before he
can do any real damage to me.
After all of the targets are destroyed then I fly back up the roof of Zero
RC to successfully complete the mission.
If you are real good at flying, and knowing when to glide, then you can
complete this mission with at least 80% fuel remaining. Some people have
been known to do this mission with as little as 5% fuel consumed.

0=======================>
Glen T. Winstein says that the BradyGuide suggests dropping a bomb on
Berkley's helicopter at its base, when it is picking up a barrel, to
destroy it and prevent him from dropping any more barrels on the path.
However, doing it that way is difficult because Berkley's helicopter is
moving around when it is picking up a barrel and you have to score a direct
hit to destroy it.
Still, this information still made this mission much easier because there
is another place where it is easier to destroy Berkley's helicopter.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The "battle" takes place on a model battlefield. Each of the "combatants"
has a base (one on each side). In order for Zero to win he has to drive his
RC Bandit into Berkley's base. He also has to follow a long winding road to
get there and it has several obstacles in it.
This is where CJ comes into play. You have to fly an RC Goblin (helicopter)
that has a magnet attached to the bottom so you can move items into place
or out of the way. You fly down low to an object and press Attack to grab
it.
In Zero's base there are five metal planks and a regenerating bomb. The
planks are used to bridge gaps (there are two) and the bomb can be used on
the three tanks that are on Berkley's side of the field.
In addition to the three tanks, Berkley controls an RC Goblin which will
place barrels in the way of Zero's car. If Zero's RC Bandit gets too close
to the tanks then they will open fire on it and will most likely destroy
it.
Luckily, Zero has three Bandits (and you have three Goblins) but it takes
time to get back up the path and that's bad. That's because you have eight
minutes to clear a path and allow Zero to drive his Bandit into Berkley's
base.
When the mission starts then the first thing you should do is get the bomb
and go forward (west on the compass). Ahead of you are two small hills. Go
to the one on the left and hover over the road near it. Hover high and
angle the camera so you are looking down on your shadow.
This is where Berkley will drop a barrel. As he hovers and drops down to
place the barrel then gently move above him and drop your bomb on Berkley's
helicopter to destroy it.
It is important to point out that, unlike yourself, Berkley only has one
helicopter so, after destroying it, then he can no longer drop barrels on
the path. This will make things much easier.
After destroying Berkley's helicopter then grab the barrel he dropped, head
back toward Zero's base, drop the barrel in the water, then turn north and
grab the barrel that is currently blocking Zero's RC Bandit.
From here, head west toward Berkley's base and to the nearest tank.
Although it is suggested that you use the bomb to destroy the tanks, you
can use the barrel to destroy them as well.
However, it will take two drops of the barrel to get the tank to start
flaming so it will explode (the first drop will damage it). But it is
faster to drop the barrel on the tank twice then to fly back to the base to
grab a bomb and fly back to the tank.
So, when you get to the first tank, then drop the barrel from a good height
onto the tank then drop down to pick up the barrel, rise back up, then drop
it again onto the tank.
When you hear the whoosh of the flame, which indicates that the tank is
about to explode, then head north to the road curve and pick up the barrel
there. This will also get you away from the tank so you don't get damaged
in the explosion and further clear the path of obstacles.
At this point you should hear Zero complain about the first bridge gap.
Leave him alone for now.
After you pick up this new barrel then head to the tank closest to
Berkley's base. Use the barrel drop method to destroy this tank then head
southeast and grab the barrel near the last tank.
Go to the last tank and destroy it with the barrel. After you hear the
whoosh of the flame then head back to your base and grab a plank. Fly to
where Zero is at and drop the plank to bridge the gap.
Next, fly back to your base and grab another plank and bridge the second
bridge gap.
After that then go and make sure that there are no more barrels in the path
and clear any that are. Then sit back and watch Zero's RC Bandit proceed.
After Zero's RC Bandit enters Berkley's base then Zero will finally banish
Berkley from San Fierro once and for all and successfully complete the
mission.

| Reward \
0=======================>
$7,000.
This will also finish up all of the Zero RC Asset Missions. You will earn a
Money Icon outside Zero RC that will generate maximum revenue of $5,000 per
day.
You will also open up the Beefy Baron mini-game. You pick this up in the
back of Zero's shop.
You will be given control of an RC Baron (like the one used in "Supply
Lines...") but has no fuel limit. You have about three minutes to destroy
as many of Berkley's vans as you can. You don't have to do this for 100%
Completion but it makes for a nice diversion (my record is 25).
By the way, if you have a Wanted Rating when you start Beefy Baron, then
you can get rid of it by playing through the mini-game.

Carl gets a call from Officer Tenpenny. Tenpenny wants Carl to take the
weed that they got from The Truth, put it in somebody's car, then call the
Cops using We Tip. Carl won't do it. Code of the Streets: you don't snitch.
But, when Tenpenny tells Carl that the intended victim is the DA (District
Attorney), then he is more than happy to participate.....

0=======================>
Head on over to the blip across the street from the Vank Hoff Hotel in
Financial.
Next, you have to go down to the parking garage and wait for the valet. If
you have a Wanted Rating and go down into the garage then you will fail the
mission.
After the valet gets out of the car then cap him and then pick up the Valet
Uniform.
Next, go up to the surface and to the red circle. You will then be informed
that the DA drives a blue Merit.
Get close to the roadway island and wait. Usually the first blue car that
comes up is the Merit. Take it and go. If another valet gets to it first
then jack it from him.
You now have two and a half minutes to get back to the Xoomer Garage
Safehouse to plant the drugs. From there, you have to go back to the
entrance of the parking garage.
You cannot damage the car in any way. If you do then you have to go all the
way back to the garage. After you get back to the parking garage entrance
then park the car in the designated spot.
From there, go back up to the red circle and watch the fun.....

0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Go to the Calton Heights Safehouse and save your game. Go into your closet
and select Special then Valet Uniform. Then go back to the entrance of the
Vank Hoff Hotel.
When you step into the red circle (while wearing the Valet Uniform) then you
will start the Valet Parking Mission. You have to take the cars as they come
up and then park them.
There are five levels to the mission. You are required to park a certain
number of cars within two minutes.
When you start the mission then you'll see a Damage Bonus which starts at 45.
If you damage the car then you'll lose some of the bonus.
You'll also get a Parking Bonus when you park the car. The more accurate you
park the car, the larger the bonus (up to about fifteen).
You get extra time with these bonuses. If you're good then you can get up to
about a minute of time with each car parked.
Killing the other valets will get you twenty second penalty. The game will
eventually replace the killed valets. But it will do so only at the
beginning of the next level. So you can kill the valets early on and not have
any competition for cars for the remainder of the level.
This mission is very easy and should be completed in one try. One tip: when
you get a car then go straight through the gap ahead of you and curve right
into the garage. This will save time.
Below are the five levels and the tip you receive at the end of each level:
0========0
| Level 1 \
0=======================>
Three cars in two minutes with a $100 tip.
0========0
| Level 2 \
0=======================>
Four cars in two minutes with a $200 tip.
0========0
| Level 3 \
0=======================>
Five cars in two minutes with a $300 tip.
0========0
| Level 4 \
0=======================>
Six cars in two minutes with a $400 tip.
0========0
| Level 5 \
0=======================>
Seven cars in two minutes.
After finishing Level 5 then you will successfully complete the Valet Parking
Mission. You will then gain a Money Icon in front of the Vank Hoff Hotel that
will generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per day.
It should be noted that most of the cars used on the Valet Mission are
Feltzers. If you don't already have one for the upcoming Import / Export Car
Liststhen you can get one from here after completing this mission (info
courtesy of Phil Carter).

Kendl is upset that the workers in the nearby construction area are talking
smack to her and treating her as if she was a hooker. Carl decides to teach
them some respect.....

0=======================>

0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
I had some suggestions from reader Jarred Buttle about trapping the workers
inside a TransFender shop. However, I found that method to be a little
complex but he had some additional ideas that I played with and made some
tweaks to the overall strategy.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are six portable buildings that you have to destroy in order to scare
off the construction firm. The game will say you'll also need a Dozer but
there are other ways to do things.
You also have the option of using the giant crane. The most you can destroy
is three buildings however, it will keep the workers off of your case for
awhile.
The moment you either grab a Dozer, destroy a building with a crane, or
attack the workers, a three minute timer will begin. This is how long you
have to destroy the buildings before the Cops are alerted. Some of the
buildings have explosive barrels that must be avoided otherwise you will
end up destroying the Dozer and yourself with it.
According to Tom Fang you can also use Remote Explosives on the buildings.
However, some of them may take two Remote Grenades to destroy.
But using the Remote Grenades to destroy the buildings is the best way to
quickly do this part of the mission. Go to each building and place a Remote
Grenade on it. For those with explosive barrels place one by the barrels.
You will notice that throwing a Remote Grenade will NOT cause the timer to
start or make the workers attack you.
After you place a Remote Grenade at all six buildings then get to a safe
distance, preferably on high ground, and detonate. When you do then you
will have destroyed three right off the bat and leaves only three weakened
buildings to destroy when the timer starts.
At this point you will get attacked by the workers including one in a
Dozer. Being on high ground on one of the ruined buildings will help you in
getting a good angle to kill the workers.
This is especially good for the one in the Dozer. Snipe him with any weapon
before heading back down and using the Remote Grenades to destroy the
remaining three buildings.
After destroying the six portable buildings then you will see a cutscene.
In it you will see the Foreman getting out of a Porta-Potty and looking to
see what the racket is about. When he sees the destruction you have caused
then he goes and hides in the Porta-Potty.
You can use a Dozer or, as Jarred Buttle suggested, one of the Cement
Trucks Dozer and push the Porta-Potty (with the Foreman inside) into the
large hole.
After that is done then move away from the red circle and get out (if you
the Dozer), enter the nearby Cement Truck and back up to the red circle).
If you are using the Cement Truck to push the Porta-Potty into the hole
then just turn around and back up into the red circle.
When you do that then you will see a cutscene of you burying the Foreman
and successfully completing the mission.

You will also get a call from Jethro. Apparently everybody thinks that you

| C.II.5. "Back To School" (Turning Tricks Driving School) [TTDS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
After completion of the mssion "Deconstruction" (Carl Johnson) then you'll
see three red "S" symbols on the map. There's one in Tierra Robada (Boat
School) and one in Las Venturas (Bike School).
The last one is in San Fierro and that is the Driving School (it is south of
the Doherty Safehouse). Enter into the building and you'll end up in a
waiting room.
You'll see a woman with a blue arrow above her. She is Michelle and she can
become your Girlfriend if you want. Near the desk is a Mechanic. He will tell
you about the Driving School.
In order to pass the Driving School you will need to pass twelve tests and
they can be picked up at the nearby VCR. You will need to pass one test
before moving onto the next.
You will need to have an Overall Score of 70% in order to complete the
Driving School.
**IMPORTANT: You MUST successfully complete the Driving School in order for
the Wang's Auto Asset to open and for the mission "Zeroing In"
(Cesar Vialpando) to appear. The earliest that it can open is
right after completion of the mission "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" (Loco
Syndicate).
There are three things that determine your Overall Score:
0==============0
| Final Heading \
0============================>
Your car has to point due south or due north. The straighter your car, the
higher the score.
0===============0
| Final Position \
0============================>
The closer your car gets to where it is supposed to stop, the higher your
score.
0===============0
| Damage Penalty \
0============================>
If you damage the car or run over a cone then this will subtract points
from your Overall Score.
When you pass a test then you'll earn either a Bronze, Silver or Gold
certificate.
At 70% score (the minimum), you'll earn a Bronze and pass the test. By
getting a Bronze in all twelve tests you will successfully complete the
Driving School, get an increase in Driving Skill, get closer to 100%
Completion and start spawning the Super GT in the Driving School parking lot.
At 90% score, you'll earn a Silver. By getting at least a Silver in all
twelve tests then you will start spawning the Bullet in the Driving School
parking lot.
And at 100% (a perfect score), you'll earn a Gold. By getting a Gold in all
twelve tests then you will start spawning the Hotknife in the Driving School
parking lot.
It is important to note that you DO NOT need to get all Golds for 100%
Completion. Just get at least a Bronze in all twelve tests.
The best thing to do after passing a test is to get out of the school, save
at the Doherty Safehouse, then go back and do the next test. This will save
you some headaches in case something bad happens while in the Driving School.
Here are the twelve tests:
0========0
| The 360 \
0=====================================>
You need to do one complete revolution and stop (and it must be done within
a ten second time limit. Very easy to pass and get a Gold in.
0========0
| The 180 \
0=====================================>
You need to go up the track, do a 180 through some cones and return to
where you started in under ten seconds.
0===================0
| Whip And Terminate \
0=====================================>
You need to go along an L-shaped course and stop in the assigned area in
under five seconds. You are also given a choice of either a Clockwise or
Counterclockwise direction.
0================0
| Pop And Control \
0=====================================>
Now things start to get a little more challenging. You need to go along a
crooked course and stop in the assigned area in under five seconds.
However, at the beginning of the course, is a spike strip and you will have
to go through the course with your tires blown.
0=============0
| Burn And Lap \
0=====================================>
You have to do five laps around an oval course in under 40 seconds. You are
also given a choice of either a Clockwise or Counterclockwise direction.
This isn't too hard to pass but, if you want Gold, then you will have to
get your time under 36 seconds.
0==========0
| Cone Coil \
0=====================================>
You have to weave through some cones, do a 180, swerve back through them
and stop where you started in under ten seconds. You are also given a
choice of either a Clockwise or Counterclockwise direction. Keep your
movements small while swerving otherwise you'll swing wildly and lose time.
0=========0
| The '90' \
0=====================================>
You have to stop your car using a powerslide (and going 90 degrees) so you
end up between, and perfectly aligned, between two parked cars. You also
have a five second time limit.
0==============0
| Wheelie Weave \
0=====================================>
This is probably the hardest test to pass let alone Gold in. You have to
get your car on two wheels and stop in the assigned area.
The car is very hard to control on two wheels and you have to get the car
back on four wheels when you get to the assigned area. You'll end up
failing time and time again because you'll end up on four wheels long
before you can get to the red circle.
Perseverance is what will get you through this one.
0============0
| Spin And Go \
0=====================================>
You have to go backwards through the first half of the course then spin
around 180 degrees and go forward so you can stop in the assigned area in
under five seconds.
You are also given a choice of either a Clockwise or Counterclockwise
direction. This is made more challenging on the Xbox version because of the
controls. You need to Look Behind to see what you are doing and that is
made more difficult on the Xbox version.
0================0
| P.I.T. Maneuver \
0=====================================>
You have to go up alongside the rear of another car and cause him to spin
out with minimal or no damage. The closer to the other car you are, the
better your score.
0==========0
| Alley Oop \
0=====================================>
You need to do a barrel roll over some cars and land on all four wheels.
When you manage to land perfectly then brake gently to slow the car down
some so you can straighten it out then stop. This will increase your
chances of passing the test and possibly getting a Gold.
0==============0
| City Slicking \
0=====================================>
This final test involves driving to a point near Pier 69 and heading back
to the Driving School in under two minutes with minimal damage. This is
made more challenging because the car you are given handles like shit and
will spin out at the slightest provocation. Worse, you can't come to a
complete stop otherwise the test will end.
The best course is this. Go north up the street that runs past Cranberry
Station and the Xoomer Garage.
When you see the large white buildings going into Downtown and it opens up
to your right a bit then cut across and go north along the street parallel
to the one you were just on. This will lead you to the checkpoint.
As you get near the checkpoint then you'll need to carefully go down the
curved street that is in front of the entrance for the parking garage to
Pier 69.
Once you get the checkpoint then go south along the wide street, past the
Easter Basin Naval Station and Xoomer Gas Station and turn right at the
signal light south of Shady / Solarin Industries. This will lead you back
to the Driving School.
To get a Gold here you must do this with no damage in under 1:40. Good
luck!
With that done, let's head to the next mission strand.....

Get any car, or helicopter (which is faster), and meet Cesar who is waiting
at FleischBerg Beers near Blueberry. Get into his car and then drive to
Angel Pine where these guys are to meet.
When you get there then stop at the Lovin' A Loan building and climb onto
the roof. Go to the pink circle.
Here, you will be given a Camera. You need to zoom in, using the L2 and R2
buttons (PS2) or Y and X buttons (Xbox) in conjunction with the Target
button and take pictures of the people involved using the Attack button.
You must get their faces in order to succeed.
You will be facing the Cluckin' Bell. The first car will appear in the
parking lot to the left. Ryder will exit this car and head into the
restaurant. Take his picture.
Another car will come up after that and park next to Ryder's car. A guy by
the name of T-Bone Mendez will get out. Take his picture.
Turn to the right. Another car will come and park in the street. An
un-named person will get out and head for the Cluckin' Bell. Take his
picture.
Another car will come and park next to the last one. Another un-named
person will get out of the car but he appears to be a pimp. Take his
picture.
After taking the picture of the pimp then the two of you will leave the
rooftop and go to a nearby gas station. Here you will split up and you will
need to get back to San Fierro on your own.
After this then the mission will end successfully.

With a little help from Woozie, Carl identifies the three men they got

Go to the Pleasure Domes under the Gant Bridge. Once there then Carl will
introduce himself as a new guy looking for work. After he impresses Jizzy
then he will tell CJ that he needs to find out who has been killing his
girls. CJ is more than happy to oblige.
As CJ is leaving then Jizzy wants him to drop off one of his girls at the
hotel Downtown. He is also giving you the use of his Broadway.
Take the girl to the hotel and drop her off. Afterwards CJ will be told to
get rid of a rival in Hashbury.
You have two minutes to go over there and kill him. Get over there and run
over this rival. Afterwards Jizzy will tell CJ to go over to Foster Valley
and find out who's been killing his girls.
You will now see a health bar with the word "HO" next to it. You need to
get over to Foster Valley and save her as quickly as possible. Once under
the freeway bridge then take down both punters who are attacking the girls.
After that then CJ will call Jizzy.
But Jizzy is upset. Seems that the girl CJ dropped off Downtown wants to
leave prostitution and be with her sugar daddy. Jizzy wants CJ to go up
there and make an example of them.
As you approach the blip, try to approach it from the west. When CJ gets to
the hotel then he sees the girl getting into a limo with a preacher. In
addition, there is another vehicle providing protection for the limo.
Now you need to take down the limo and his protection. You can chase and
drive-by them but the Broadway is not a good vehicle to do this. You can do
it however, there are better ways to handle this.
If you approached the blip from the west then turn left at the next
intersection. Then turn right and stop at the southeast corner of the Big
Pointy Building.
Get out and look south. The limo should be turning your way. Arm the
Heat-Seeking RPG and lock in on the limo. When locked on then launch a
couple of rockets to destroy the limo.
After that then the other vehicle stops and the occupants come out to
confront you. Kill them to complete the task.
After that then CJ will call Jizzy. Jizzy will be pleased with your work.
However, the Pimpmobile will be posted on an APB and Carl can keep the car
as long as he keeps it away from Jizzy and the club.
After the call ends then the mission will be successfully completed.

0=======================>
You need to go over to the Pleasure Domes to pick up this mission.
After the introduction then Carl needs to go to where the ambushed van is
at. It is under the bridge not far from the Pay 'N' Spray.
After you get there then you will be placed on a FCR-900 and you have to
chase the four ambushers.
However, according to Skipp Kennedy, there is a slightly different way you
can do this. Go on top of the hill north of the Pay 'N' Spray (this is also
over the small tunnel beneath you).
From here, you can see the ambushed van and most of the ambushers. Use your
Sniper Rifle and kill one of the ambushers.
You will automatically be transported and placed onto an FCR-900. The
remaining three bikers will speed off.
Turn around and grab the package of the biker you killed with your Sniper
Rifle. This method reduces the number of bikers you will need to chase
around San Fierro.
You need to chase one of the bikers, get up close behind him and press
Attack to snatch it from his bike. But he will then try to follow you and
shoot you.
However, according to Bragon the Bat, you can shoot off the riders then
grab the packages. This way, you won't have to worry about them following
you.
After acquiring the packages from all four bikers then take them to the

It should be noted that the FCR-900 you use is on one of the Import /

When you get to the part where you have to destroy the van then just get
back in the car you used to get here and drive away.
You can get Wanted Ratings but the Cops will completely ignore you.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to go over to the Pleasure Domes to pick up this mission.
After the cutscene ends then you have five and a half minutes to find Mike.
Mike can hear seagulls and heavy machinery. So go over to the Building Site
in Doherty.
After getting near the Building Site then Mike will hear a truck reversing.
Carl thinks that he is over at a freight depot. Now go to the docks at
Easter Basin.
As Carl gets to the docks then Mike reports gunfire and that these thugs
may have shot their way through a security gate. The only place that has
one is at the Easter Bay Airport. Go to the Airport.
Once on the Airport grounds then T-Bone activates a tag. After the last
mission then the Loco Syndicate decided to put tracers in the drugs to find
out who has been stealing them.
But something has happened and now they need to use the tags to find Mike.
You will notice a Signal line below your Health line. The closer you are to
Mike, the more the line will fill up. It should be noted that Mike's
position will change randomly with each attempt.
After you find the van that Mike has been hiding in then you will need to
chase the van. You can't shoot it because, if you destroy it, then you will
fail the mission.
Deal with the two motorcycles. Eventually the van will stop and their
occupants will exit and confront you. Get out and kill all of the nearby
goons with any weapon (excluding explosive) you choose.
After that then you will get a hostile introduction to Mike. Mike needs to
destroy the van before the Cops arrive. Now destroy the van with any weapon
(Shotgun works well here) and get into the nearby car. Go over to the blip
outside the airport.
After you get there then you will be hit with a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Go
over to the Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of it. From there, head back to the
Pleasure Domes.
And, according to Bragon the Bat, if you get a Wanted Rating after you get
rid of the initial 3-Star Wanted Rating, then the game will tell you to go
back to the Pay 'N' Spray. But you can ignore that and just go straight to
the Pleasure Domes.
After you get to the Pleasure Domes then the mission will end successfully.

Go on over to the Xoomer Gas Station in Easter Basin where T-Bone will be

the car to meet a shipment.
When you get to the shipment then you will see a Sanchez and a RPG. You
need to get ahead of the van and clear a path for it to get to the factory.
Get on the Sanchez and quickly get up to the first roadblock. Use the
RPG to get rid of the cars and use the Sniper Rifle on the survivors.
The second roadblock is near the construction site. Do the same thing on
this roadblock but you may want to aim at the ruined building on the left
with the RPG so you can get the gunmen hidden in the upper part of the
ruined building.
The third roadblock is at the southwest corner of the construction site.
Rocket the cars and snipe the survivors.
The last roadblock is a couple of blocks south of the third roadblock. Once
this has been destroyed then you need to escort the van to the factory
which is next door to the Driving School.
After the van has been safely escorted to the factory then the mission will
be successfully completed.

Tenpenny and Pulaski pay CJ a visit at the Xoomer Garage. They want CJ to
kill a snooping reporter and the snitch that is supplying him with
information.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go get the Sniper Rifle that Tenpenny has hid in the nearby Construction
Site. Even if you already have a Sniper Rifle then you must get this one
before you can proceed any further.
After acquiring the Sniper Rifle then you need to make your way to
Cranberry Station where the reporter is about to get on the train. When you
get close enough then the train will depart for Market Station in Los
Santos and you have to follow it.
However, if you use the nearby Sanchez, then you don't have to wait for the
train to start. Just get on the tracks and go ahead of the train. The
Sanchez is faster than the train and you can get a nice head start.
If you decide not to use the Sanchez then you can get a car and speed your
way to the station or, if you have your pilot's license, then go to the
airport and use a Maverick. You can't use the airport terminal (to get a
ticket to jet to Los Santos) - it won't let you in. You also can't use cars
in garages either - they won't open.
After you get to Los Santos then you need to get to Market Station. If you
used the Sanchez then you can climb up the stairs leading out of Market
Station and use it to follow the reporter (thanks to Ron Schock). If you
used the chopper then you have to land and get a car.
When the reporter arrives at the station then he will head up to street
level and get a cab. You will also notice a Spook-O-Meter beneath your
health line. If you stay too close for too long then the reporter will
abandon the interview and you will fail the mission.
Reader Shee Soon Theng noticed that you can fill the Spook-O-Meter when the
cab is stopped at a red light but doesn't fill up when traveling even if
you are at the same distance. Because of this then it is best to remain
almost a full block away from the cab.
The cab will take different paths on each attempt. But it will always go to
the same place - the Santa Maria Beach Pier. The reporter will meet the
snitch at the end of the pier.
Keep your distance and kill them both with the Sniper Rifle. If one of them
manages to get out of range then chase him down and kill him with any other
weapon. He can't really get away because he's on the pier.
After both of them are dead then the mission will end successfully.
If you thought about using the taxi trick used in the mission "Cutting The
Grass" (Salvatore Leone) in "Grand Theft Auto III" (where you can get a
taxi and drive the rat yourself to Portland Harbor), forget it. It won't
work here.
If you also thought of going to the Santa Maria Pier ahead of the cab,
forget that too. You will fail the mission.

I had three people (Angela, Phil Carter and Steven Eng) tell me that you
can shoot out the tires of the Pimpmobile before you enter the Pleasure
Domes. This would make the mission much easier since it is impossible for
him to get away.
However, I did a couple of tweaks with interesting results.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
This mission can only be picked up between 20:00 and 6:00.
To start, go over to the Pleasure Domes. When you get there then there will
be a couple of guards by the door and a red circle.
When you enter the red circle then you will not be able to enter but will
be instructed to go up the nearby scaffolding and enter through the
skylight. To limit any interference run over the guards before entering the
red circle.
Before going up the scaffolding, shoot out all four tires on the nearby
Pimpmobile. But you should also move the Pimpmobile so that the front of
the car is up against the right side of the nearby limo.
After that then go up the scaffolding so you can jump down to the skylight
and enter the Domes. Now make your way down to the bar area.
Once there then a cutscene will play showing CJ confronting Jizzy. Jizzy
will then run for his life.
Use any weapon to clear the club of guards before exiting the club to chase
Jizzy.
When Jizzy leaves the club and enters the Pimpmobile then he will try to
drive forward but the limo is in the way. With the tires shot out he won't
be able to back up very fast so run over to the Pimpmobile and jack him
from the vehicle. Then go into drive-by mode and shoot him until he dies.
Another option is to just blow up the Pimpmobile outright. When Jizzy
leaves the club then there will be a Pizzaboy from Well Stacked Pizza
sitting where the Pimpmobile was. Jizzy will knock the rider off then drive
away.
The Pizzaboy is slower than the Pimpmobile plus he is the only one on it.
With the Pimpmobile there is also a guard who comes along and shoots back
at you.
Enter into a nearby car in the parking lot and go after Jizzy. You can
knock Jizzy off of the Pizzaboy and run him over to kill him. If you can't
run him over then go and jack the Pizzaboy. He won't try to get any other
vehicle so you can either run him over with the Pizzaboy or shoot him
from it.
Regardless of method, collect the phone Jizzy drops when he dies to
successfully complete the mission.

Pier 69 is based on San Francisco's Pier 39 which is on the Embarcadero.
How do I know this? That's because I used to work there at the Namco
CyberStation Arcade which was at the front of the pier (1991-1993).
Rockstar did a good job in recreating the tourist attraction except that
they did not put in an arcade where you can play the arcade mini-games
within San Andreas. What's up with that?

When you start the mission then just walk away and explore. Don't even go

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to the red circle across the street from Pier 69 to pick up this
mission. When you enter the red circle then Cesar will yell at you from the
top of the building. Go up the stairs in the back to get up and meet him.
When you get there then Cesar will get a call from Woozie's men who are
waiting near the entrance. Then they go and head up to the roof.
But they are ambushed by T-Bone's security who got there early. Use your
Sniper Rifle to pick off the six security guards before they can kill all
of the Triad men.
If the Triads are killed then you fail the mission.
After killing off T-Bone's security then T-Bone will drive up. So will
Ryder and some Ballas.
They meet up at the end of the pier but Toreno is nowhere to be seen. Then
Toreno comes in on a helicopter. But he sees the bodies on the rooftop and
the meet is off. The Ballas throw Smoke Grenades and now CJ and Cesar need
to kill T-Bone quickly.
After the cutscene ends then switch to your SMG and run down to Pier 69.
Run along the right side of the pier (avoiding the gunmen in the middle of
the pier), go to the end of the pier, run right up to T-Bone and kill him
with your SMG. If you do this quickly enough then he won't be able to hurt
you. Don't worry about Cesar, he'll catch up.
After killing T-Bone then Ryder will jump off the pier and try to swim
away. The game prompts you to jump in after him. But all you need to do is
go up to the railing, switch to your Sniper Rifle and kill Ryder long
before he can get to the nearby boats to successfully complete the mission.
If you have any RPG ammo left over from "Outrider" (Loco Syndicate) then
you can also blow up the boats and Ryder.

0=======================>
The helipad is at the San Fierro Police Station in Downtown. It will have
two gunmen on the pad, two near the stairs and two roaming nearby outside
the compound. One of the two gunmen on the pad will have a RPG.
The best way to do this is to go up the road that goes by the Easter Basin
Naval Station and enter the parking lot for the San Fierro Police Station.
Get out near the base of the hill.
As you approach the blue van then you will hear a couple of explosions. The
gunman on the helipad with the RPG is firing at you but can't hit you. He
will simply fire into the helipad.
Switch to your Heat-Seeking RPG and, while ignoring the nearby gunmen,
climb up the stairs.
When you get near the top then you will see the helicopter take off. After
the cutscene ends then immediately lock-on to the helicopter.
When the reticle turns from green to red then fire off as many missiles as
you can. You should be able to launch enough missiles to follow and destroy
the helicopter to successfully complete the mission.
If you miss that opportunity then you will have other chances to bring him
down. If you chase him then you may find that the helicopter will pause
every so often allowing you a chance to destroy it.
According to Siddharth Sharma, if you keep following the chopper, then it
will eventually land at your Whetstone Safehouse (although it will take
awhile to get there). Stay far away and fire several Heat Seeking RPGs at
the helicopter before it has a chance to fly away again.

When you get there then follow Woozie into the alleyway. Eventually you
will come to a gate. The Blood Feather Triad has been wiped out. Except for
one member who hid and was able to tell Woozie who did it - a Vietnamese
gang.....and then the gang comes back to finish the job.
Now you have to shoot your way out and protect Woozie at the same time.
Use your SMG and kill all of the gunmen who came through the gate. There
will be some more that will come in on motorcycles just as you exit the
gate. Kill them and proceed around the corner.
At this point there will be a bunch more gunmen including a sniper.
Rapidly target and kill them all. Then get into a nearby car that some of
the gunmen you killed came in with. As you back out of the alley then you
will be chased by a couple of cars.
However, you need to let Woozie destroy the cars. So let the cars come
close behind you so he can shoot them up and destroy them. When he destroys
both cars then take him back to his place to successfully complete the
mission.

The package is in a car that is parked in the Easter Bay Airport parking
garage. Go to and get in the car.
When you get in the car then the Da Nang Boys spring an ambush and cover
the exits. You need to get the car to a pier west of Pier 69 in Esplanade
North. A Damage Meter will also appear under the Health Line.
Go straight and turn left to enter Lot E. When another truck cuts you off
then turn left so you can go back to the main path then turn right to exit
the parking garage.
Turn left, or right, and either run over the guy in the middle of the road
or make him move out of the way. Next is a roadblock with a truck and a
couple of gunmen. You can either go right or left of the truck and run over
the gunman.
As you near the airport entrance then you will be ambushed by a couple of
motorcycles (each has a driver and a gunner). The thing to do is to stop
just underneath the airport entrance sign and get out of the car.
Switch to your SMG and kill at least both gunners or both drivers or all
four. After that then get back into the car and hang the first right to go
north along the street that goes past the Easter Basin Naval Station and
Pier 69 to go almost uncontested (save for one car that tries to intercept
you at Pier 69 - stay on the left side of your side of the street so he
can't hit you) to the drop-off point.
When you get to the red circle then the mission will be successfully
completed.

Get into the Decoy Car and drive over to the sawmill in Angel Pine. You
cannot leave the car for any reason or you will fail the mission.
When you get to the sawmill then you will be attacked by the Da Nang Boys
who will come, in pairs, on motorcycles. You have to go along a checkpoint
course and lure them along.
You cannot let them do too much damage to the car or let them look at you
for too long or they will know you are a decoy and you will fail the
mission.
To reduce the amount of damage they can do, stop the car and let them get
up alongside you. Then quickly kill them in drive-by mode, both right and
left sides. Then proceed along the path until another group comes along to
attack you then repeat the process.
Eventually the path will end at the Whetstone 24-7. When you get here in
one piece then you will successfully complete the mission.
If you fail the mission during the checkpoint course then you can use the
Trip Skip feature when you redo the mission.
In addition, the Rancher is also one of the cars on the Import / Export Car
Lists (done later). You can save the Rancher for that use in any garage if
you want.

You need to get to the blip which is east of Pier 69 in Esplanade North.
From there you jump into the water, swim out of the rock formation and
into open water. When you swim out of the rock formation then swim south
and toward the small platform. Stay under the surface for as long as
possible.
When you surface then a cutscene will play informing you of the Da Nang
patrol boats. If they see you in the water then they will shoot you.
When you get to the small platform then get up and switch to your
Heat-Seeking RPG. There are two boats here you can target.
Aim at one of the boats ahead of you and fire when the reticle turns red.
Do the same to the other boat. After destroying both boats then swim to the
small island.
When you get onto the island then go to the northeast part of the island
and actually go into the water up to your waist. Aim toward the east part
of the ship and you should be able to lock onto the boat sitting there.
Destroy him when the reticle turns red. Go back onto the island and aim
north. You should be able to lock onto the boat on the west side of the
ship. Fire at the boat when the reticle turns red.
A side benefit is that the explosions will knock out the searchlights on
the ship. But, with all of the boats destroyed, then it doesn't matter
because you will not get any interference when you swim to the ship.
Swim toward the landing platform on the north side of the ship and head up
to the deck. Kill all of the guards you encounter with your Silenced Pistol
as you head to the back of the ship. You don't have to sneak around because
all these goons have Knives so they are of little threat to you.
When you get to the back of the ship then head down to the next level
through a door. Get into the red circle to plant the bug.
Get back outside, head back toward where you came up on the deck and jump
into the water. Then swim to the red circle and successfully complete the
mission.

| Early Exploration Exploit \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
After landing in the water then you can go and do some exploring without
generating any Wanted Ratings. This was pointed out to me by David Sears
and Dr. Simon Chan.
One interesting thing about this exploit: nobody says anything or scream
when you run them over or shoot them.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
As you fly to the container ship, you are given control of a Mini-Gun. When
you get to the ship then you are attacked by armed guards. Use the Mini-Gun
to kill as many of them as possible.
Unfortunately, the helicopter is shot down by missiles fired from one of
the gunmen (you can shoot at him but can't kill him).
When you land in the water then you lose all of your weapons but are given
a Knife. The level designers wanted you to go on the ship and sneak your
way around using the Knife to kill any guards you encounter.
Screw that.
I swam out of the water and back into San Fierro. Then I jacked a nearby
car and went to the Ammu-Nation in Ocean Flats to rebuild my arsenal
especially my Silenced Pistol and SMG ammo.
I also went to the nearby Cluckin' Bell and regained my lost health. Then I
went back to Easter Bay Airport to pick up some Heat-Seeking RPGs.
After getting what I needed then I went back into the water and swam to the
ship.
When you go onto the deck then crouch and use the Silenced Pistol to take
down all of the guards you see. Proceed carefully and look around each
corner.
Jump around the corner and quickly kill any guards you encounter before
they can make enough noise to alert others. Along the way you will find
Tec-9 ammo and a Health Icon in various nooks.
Soon you will find a way into the interior of the ship. After the cutscene
ends then you will be attacked by guards. You can switch to your SMG and
kill them rapidly. I should also note that there is Body Armor and a Tec-9
hidden in a corner behind a couple of container crates near where you drop
in at.
You will find four guards when you get to the first turn going right. Kill
them and continue. After going past the second turn then you will encounter
a Grenade throwing guard. Run up to him so you can avoid the blast then
kill him.
You will then be prompted to open the container crate containing the
prisoners. After opening the crate then you will be told to go back up and
onto the bridge. You need to kill everybody on the bridge including the
leader (Snakehead).
Go back the way you came and climb up onto the deck. You will also notice
that a third of your health has been removed for some reason.
When you get back up to the deck then switch to your Heat-Seeking RPG and
aim at the bridge. Launch a rocket and you will kill Snakehead without ever
needing to enter the bridge area (somebody posted a topic where a plane
crashed into the bridge that killed everybody and that is what inspired me
to try this tactic out).
After killing Snakehead then you will be prompted to go to the freed
prisoners who are waiting for you below deck. When you get back to them
then you will successfully complete the mission.

good.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you start then mission then you'll get a call from one of Woozie's
men. They are rigging a car with explosives so you can take out the
factory. Go on over to the garage in Downtown to get the car.
Now drive over to the Crack Lab which is next door to the Driving School
in Doherty. When you get there then you will see a couple of guards.
Kill them to get the gate to open. When the gate opens then drive in a
little bit, get out and kill the nearby guards. This will reduce damage to
the car. You may want to stay out of the car and go into the main building
so you remove potential interference.
When you get back in the car then drive over to the main building. When you
get inside then you have to drive through the building and park the car in
the red circle. Arm the bomb.
Now you have forty seconds to get out of the building. But there will be
additional gunmen to deal with. Although you can quickly kill the gunmen
with your SMG if you want, I find it best to ignore them and just run for a
door.
When you get to a door then the bomb will explode and the factory will be
destroyed.
Now you have to get out of the main gates on foot. As you make your way
there, you'll encounter two groups of three gunmen each. The first group
will be at the first set of container crates. The second group will be at
the next set of container crates. Kill them and continue.
When you get to the gates then a car will drive up. Kill the two occupants
when they come out. When you get near the car then the gate will close. Now
you are prompted to use the car and jump out of the facility.
Before getting in the car, run toward the ramp and kill all of the gunmen
you encounter so you can clear a path to the ramp. Then get back to the car
and drive to the main building. Turn around and drive up the ramp.
You should land on the container crates and bounce into the street. Once
back on the street then drive over to the Garage to successfully complete
the mission.

$25,000 plus Respect Gained.
In addition, you can now purchase M4's at all Ammu-Nations.
Also, CJ will no longer get messages from Cesar about couriers taking drugs
to Los Santos. By destroying the factory then you have shut down the drug
courier side-missions.
You will also get a phone call from a mysterious person using an electronic
voice masker. He has information on Sweet and demands that CJ go over to a
ranch in Tierra Robada.
And this will finally open up the.....

The Desert area is mysterious and barren. There are plenty of small towns and
wide open areas. The major tourist attraction in this area is the Sherman
Dam. Fort Carson, to the south, is the largest town in this region.
When I first saw the town of Fort Carson on the enclosed map, I had to smile.
You see, there is a real life Fort Carson. It is located at the southern edge
of Colorado Springs, Colorado and is also one of the largest Army bases in
the United States. Fort Carson is also my birthplace (4/24/1967).
Las Venturas, based on Las Vegas, is every bit as glitzy as its real life
counterpart. Plenty of money can be won, and lost, in the city's many
casinos. The outskirts of the city are much more mundane and quiet.

0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
For those who decided to wait until getting to the Desert area to get
Oysters, here is the Oyster list:
0====================0
| Tierra Robada (TIR) \
0=====================================================>

| Bone County (BNT) \
0=====================================================>
[BNT-Y44] - Location: Between the beach and a boat.
Map: (A-4).
Directions: From the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard
Safehouse, head straight north, climb the hill and to
the road fork. Take the north road and head east.
When you get to the sharp road curve that goes south
then turn left and off the road. Climb the hill and
stop when you get to the cliff edge.
From here, turn west and you will start to head down
to a lower plateau. On this lower plateau are some
small trees and lots of bushes.
If you are in the right place then you should see a
Police Bribe here. Just to the northeast of this

| D.I.2. Bayside Marina Boat School [BMBS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
At the east side of Bayside Marina is the Boat School. As before, you have to
pass various tests to complete the school and get closer to 100% Completion.
And, as before, you do NOT need to get all Golds to get 100% but the tests in
the Boat School are easy to get Golds in with a little bit of practice.
You also earn bonus vehicles for getting Bronze, Silver and Gold
certificates. They can be found moored next to the school:
>>All Bronzes - Marquis.
>>All Silvers - Squallo.
>>All Golds - Jetmax.
Unlike the Driving School, which had twelve tests, you only have five tests
to pass at the Boat School:
0=================0
| Basic Seamanship \
0=====================================>
This is a very simple test. You have to accelerate and stop within the
designated area. Do this in under ten seconds to get the Gold.
0==============0
| Plot A Course \
0=====================================>
You have to go along a checkpoint course. Pretty easy to do. Do this in
under 35 seconds to get the Gold.
0=============0
| Fresh Slalom \
0=====================================>
You use a Dinghy for this one. This is also a much longer course than the
last one. Doing this in under 80 seconds will get you the Gold.
0============0
| Flying Fish \
0=====================================>
You have to use a Vortex to make a ramped jump. You have 45 seconds to make
the jump. The best thing to do is go right toward the Gant Bridge for a bit
then turn toward the ramp.
This will give you a more straight shot at the ramp. When in the air then
pull back on the stick to help you get extra air. Jumping over 75 meters or
more will get you the Gold.
0==================0
| Land, Sea And Air \
0=====================================>
This is a long checkpoint course using the Vortex. It starts on land and
goes back into the water. There are also a few ramps too. Even so, this is
not too hard. Doing this in under 130 seconds will get you the Gold.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| D.I.3. RS Haul Trucking Asset Mission [RSHT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
You pick up the Trucking Missions where you dropped off the tanker at the end
of "Tanker Commander" (just north of the Flint Intersection in Flint County).
They are fairly straightforward missions where you transport stuff to another
city or town. There is a bonus to be had at the end of a mission and it
increases with each mission.
There are a total of eight missions but only the first six were available at
the end of the mission "Tanker Commander" (Catalina). I decided to do the
entire list when the Desert / Las Venturas area is opens up for this is when
the last two missions become available.
There are three types of missions:
0======0
| Timed \
0====================>
You must reach your destination within a time limit otherwise you will lose
money.
0========0
| Fragile \
0====================>
You will lose money if you damage the cargo.
0======0
| Chase \
0====================>
The Cops are on your tail and they will try to stop you by forcing you off
the road or disconnecting your trailer.
The last two missions are harder than the first six because they combine
mission types. In addition, you have to go a really long way to drop off your
cargo.
Now for the complete list of missions:
0===========0
| Mission #1 \
0===========================>
--Type = Timed (2:15).
--Bonus = $1,000.
--Notes: The destination is usually somewhere close-by in Red County so
this is pretty simple.
0===========0
| Mission #2 \
0===========================>
--Type = Fragile.
--Bonus = $1,500.
--Notes: Your destination is still fairly close but you will still need to
be careful about your cargo.
0===========0
| Mission #3 \
0===========================>
--Type = Chase (3-Star Wanted Rating).
--Bonus = $2,000.
--Notes: Despite your truck's size, the Police cars are pretty good at
knocking you around. However, you can easily fool them into
hitting roadside obstacles, like trees.
0===========0
| Mission #4 \
0===========================>
--Type = Timed (6:00).
--Bonus = $3,000.
--Notes: Your destination is further out this time but not too hard.
0===========0
| Mission #5 \
0===========================>
--Type = Fragile.
--Bonus = $4,000.
--Notes: Your destination is further out this time so more care is needed
to keep from damaging the cargo.
0===========0
| Mission #6 \
0===========================>
--Type = Chase (3-Star Wanted Rating).
--Bonus = $5,000.
--Notes: The further you destination is, the harder this becomes. This is
especially true if your destination is Battery Point (San Fierro).
0===========0
| Mission #7 \
0===========================>
--Type = Fragile and Timed (6:00)
--Bonus = $7,000.
--Notes: Your destination is usually in the north part of the Desert / Las
Venturas area.
This means that you have to keep a good speed to get there on time
but you also have to be careful because you can't afford to smack
too many cars. Try to use the main roads whenever possible so you
can go fast but have room to dodge cars.
0===========0
| Mission #8 \
0===========================>
--Type = Chase (4-Star)
--Bonus = $10,000.
--Notes: Once again your destination is in the north part of the Desert /
Las Venturas area.
But now the Cops are tougher to deal with because of the high
Wanted Rating. Just try to get to your destination as fast as
possible and keep the Cops from unhitching your trailer.
Once you complete the eighth mission then you will finish the RS Haul
Trucking Asset Mission and gain a Money Icon in front of RS Haul that will
generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per day.

Map: (B-5).
Directions: From Horseshoe [GGC-H39], go north and back to the
road then head east and cross Julius Thruway West.
After crossing Julius Thruway West then you should
see a white wall to your right that borders the LVA
Freight Depot area. Just before you get to the road
curve going south you should then see an entrance
leading into this area.
Turn right through the entrance and go all the way to
a small strip of dirt with small trees. To your
right, at this point, is the yellow Sumo building.

| Come-A-Lot (CAL) \
0=====================================================>
[CAL-H43] - Location: On top of one of the small towers without a colored
spire (north tower) in the center of the Come-A-Lot
casino complex.
Map: (B-6).
**NOTE: This Horseshoe can only be acquired by helicopter,
Parachute or Jetpack. You can fly to and land a
helicopter on the platform to collect the Horseshoe
(thanks to Shee Soon Theng for that info).
[CAL-H44] - Location: On top of the tall Come-A-Lot sign at the west side of
the parking lot.
Map: (B-6).
**NOTE: This Horseshoe can only be acquired by helicopter,
Parachute or Jetpack.
If you use a helicopter then it is best to use the
Seasparrow found at the bottom (east side) of The Sherman
Dam or at the shore due north of the Verdant Meadows
Aircraft Graveyard.
You need to approach from the north and make sure that
the pontoons are barely above the top of the sign as you
make the final approach. The reason for this is that the
blades will hit the red spires but can clip through the
small towers they sit upon.
This little trick will allow you to land the chopper on
the top of the sign (thanks to Shee Soon Theng for that
info).
++IMPORTANT: If you use a Parachute to drop down to the
Horseshoe then you may want to make sure
your health is at its maximum.
If your health is not at its maximum then
you will die when you fall off the sign and
to the ground below after collecting the
Horseshoe. If your health is at its maximum
then you will have a sliver of it left when
you fall to the ground.
[CAL-H45] - Location: On a windowsill of a red and yellow colored building.
Map: (B-6).
Directions: From The Camel's Toe Safehouse entrance, head south

| D.I.6. Las Venturas Bike School [LVBK] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
South of the Blackfield Stadium in Las Venturas is the Bike School. There are
six tests to pass to get closer to 100% Completion. As with the Driving
School, you have to be careful of positioning and cone damage.
You can also earn bonus vehicles for getting all Bronzes, Silvers and Golds.
They can be found parked outside the school:
>>All Bronzes - Freeway.
>>All Silvers - FCR-900.
>>All Golds - NRG-500.
Here are the six tests:
0========0
| The 360 \
0=====================================>
You must do a 360 in less than fifteen seconds. Not too hard to pass or get
Gold in.
0========0
| The 180 \
0=====================================>
You must go up the course, do a 180 and return to where you started in
under ten seconds. Not too hard to pass but a little harder to Gold because
you need to be in the right place when you stop.
0============0
| The Wheelie \
0=====================================>
You have to get up to speed and do a wheelie within the designated area
then stop in another area in under ten seconds.
You cannot have the front wheel touching the ground in the wheelie area or
else the test ends. Not too hard to pass or get Gold in because you are
moving in a straight line from beginning to end.
0============0
| Jump & Stop \
0=====================================>
You have to jump off a ramp and then stop in the designated area in under
ten seconds. Very easy to pass and get Gold in.
0============0
| The Stoppie \
0=====================================>
I hate stoppies. I really hate them. Like The Wheelie, you have to do a
stoppie in the designated area then stop in another area in less than ten
seconds.
I had a very hard time keeping the rear wheel from hitting the ground.
Either that or I ended up turning out of control and stopping which ended
the test.
But you can get out of control a little bit and still end up passing. Once
you get past the stoppie area then you can put your rear wheel down and get
back straight so you can stop properly in the ending area to pass or even
get Gold.
0===============0
| Jump & Stoppie \
0=====================================>
I hated the last test but I really despise this one.
You have to jump, land on the front wheel and do a stoppie all the way to
the designated area in less than ten seconds. The test ends when the rear
wheel touches the ground.
And in 98% of the attempts I did it always touched the ground when I landed
which was long before the designated area. This test is hard to pass and
much harder to Gold in.
The thing to do is get enough speed so you can roll a little bit when you
land then let the rear tire hit the ground when in the designated area to
pass.

| D.I.7. Burger Shot Courier Asset Mission [BSCM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Parked outside the Redsands East Burger Shot is a moped (Faggio). By getting
on the Faggio then you activate the Burger Shot Courier Asset Mission.
Like the Commerce 24-7 and Hippy Shopper Courier Asset Missions in Los Santos
and San Fierro, you are required to drop off packages at various places
around Las Venturas then head back to the Burger Shot to complete the run.
Doing the four runs for this Asset Mission isn't too bad despite the slowness
of the Faggio. But the moped has better control and you are less likely to
wreck if you clip a car or corner.
Just like in the previous Courier Asset Missions, you have to throw packages
through the red coronas shown on your map. You have do this Drive-By style
using the Look Left and Look Right buttons in conjunction with the Attack
Button.
If you miss then you can get a second chance by picking up the package and
trying again. Part of your score is determined by how many packages you bring
back to the Burger Shot when you complete a level.
There are a total of four runs to complete:
0=======0
| Run #1 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 3
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 3 minutes
0=======0
| Run #2 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 4
--Packages = 6
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #3 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 5
--Packages = 7
--Time Limit = 5 minutes
0=======0
| Run #4 \
0=======================>
--Coronas = 6
--Packages = 8
--Time Limit = 8 minutes
For the last run start at Blackfield Stadium, go northeast then south. Then
go back the Burger Shot to complete the last run.
Upon completion you will gain a Money Icon outside the Redsands East Burger
Shot that will generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per day.

| D.I.8. "Kick Start" and "Dirt Track" (Blackfield Stadium) [KDBS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In the southwest part of Las Venturas is Blackfield Stadium. Here you can do
two different Stadium Events. Which event you get to do depends on what day
of the week it is:
0=============0
| "Kick Start" \
0=====================================>
You can pick this event up on any day except Monday and Wednesday. This event
is similar to the Dirt Ring event in "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".
Here you have all kinds of various obstacles to climb and acquire coronas.
Unlike the Dirt Ring event, you don't have to get all of the coronas.
You'll also see that these coronas come on three colors. Each color
represents a different point value. The green coronas are worth one point,
yellow coronas are worth two points and red coronas are worth three points.
When you start the event then you have four minutes to get as many points as
possible. You have to get twenty six points to successfully complete the
event.
The nice thing about this event is that you can pick and choose which stunts
to do in order to succeed in this event.
The most points can be had by climbing the ramps and blocks straight ahead
from the door but those damn cylinder ramps are a pain to deal with. If you
can get all of the coronas off of that then you are in good shape.
There are also some blocks with ramps not far from that (with a red and green
corona) where you can get some easy points. There is also some rocks with a
log and a large pipe not far from the door that has a red corona on the end
that can be somewhat easy to get.
If you can get the points off of these stunts then just go around and do
the simpler green corona stunts to get the rest of the points needed to
successfully complete the event.
In addition, a high Bike Skill will make this event easier.
When you successfully complete the event then you will spawn the Dune vehicle
in front of the stadium. If you decide to do this event later then you will
have to break your old score in order to successfully complete the event.
0=============0
| "Dirt Track" \
0=====================================>
You can only pick up this event on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is a race
event. Here you race against eleven other racers on a winding dirt track. The
vehicle of choice is the Sanchez and you do six laps on this track.
You can use a sub-machine gun on the other riders. But they are tough to
destroy. However, you can spook them into wrecking or hitting walls so you
can pass them.
In addition, there is one place about a quarter of the way up the track where
the other riders always seem to wipe out at. Once you see it then carefully
go through this area to get past most of the riders.
Keep close to the others in front of you and then pass them up when they wipe
out in this area on the second lap to get into first place.
As with the previous event, a high Bike Skill helps to make this event
easier.
Getting first place will net you $25,000 and spawn the BF Injection in front
of the stadium.

0===========================================================================0
| D.I.9. The Freight Mission [FRMS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Now that all of San Andreas is open you can finally do the Freight Mission.
This mission requires the use of a train.
You can go to any of the five train stations around San Andreas to jack one.
When you get one then press Activate Vehicle Mission to begin.
There are two levels to this mission. The first level requires that you make
five successful consecutive deliveries to each of the five train stations in
San Andreas.
After you complete Level One then you can either press Activate Vehicle
Mission to start Level Two or get out and do other things before doing Level
Two. Level two is exactly like level one except that the money is doubled.
You only have two buttons to concern yourself with - Accelerate and Reverse.
You are also stuck with the cinematic camera for the duration of the mission.
Underneath the Health Line is Time (how much time you have left), Distance
(how far you are to the next station) and Speed (how fast you are going).
To make a successful delivery you have to stop the train so that your cab is
in the red circle. If you do this correctly then you will get $150 plus 15
extra seconds (in addition to the regular time added).
If you don't do this right then your bonus and extra time will be reduced.
For Level Two your money bonus will be a maximum of $300.
Hold down Accelerate to get the train up to speed. Get the speed up to about
44 and no higher. Wait until the distance is about 350 then hit the brakes.
You should be entering the station at a slow speed and you can gently ease
the front of the train into the red circle to get your bonus. If you
overshoot then you will waste valuable time backing the train up.
Upon successful completion of Level Two you will get $50,000 and inch closer
to 100% Completion.

| D.I.10. The Ammu-Nation Challenge [ANCH] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
When you opened up the Ammu-Nations after completion of the mission
"Doberman" (Sweet Johnson) then you also opened up the Ammu-Nation Challenge.
The Challenge is done on the indoor shooting range of the following
Ammu-Nations:
>>Downtown Los Santos (Los Santos).
>>Blueberry (Red County).
>>Palomino Creek (Red County).
>>Ocean Flats (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados (Tierra Robada).
>>Come-A-Lot (Las Venturas)
>>Old Venturas Strip (Las Venturas).
The Challenge is comprised of four main stages each using a particular
weapon:
>>Stage 1 - Pistol.
>>Stage 2 - Micro SMG.
>>Stage 3 - Shotgun.
>>Stage 4 - AK-47.
However, when you first open up the Ammu-Nations, then only the first two
stages are available. The Shotgun stage becomes available when you open up
the Badlands / San Fierro area and the AK-47 stage becomes available after
you open up the Desert / Las Venturas area.
This is why I waited until now to do the Challenge.
You must do all four weapon stages one after the other in order to complete
the Challenge. You are also in competition with two other shooters on the
range. If they outshoot you and you fail then, when you redo the Challenge,
you must start over with the Pistol and work your way back up again.
Each Weapon Stage is comprised of three smaller stages:
0========0
| Stage 1 \
0=====================================>
You must shoot off all seven pieces of the stationary target ahead of you
in order to destroy it.
After destroying the first target then a second target will appear and
further away than the first. Destroy the second target and a third target
will appear and near the back wall.
Destroy the third target to move to the next stage.
0========0
| Stage 2 \
0=====================================>
A target will appear in the back and will move forward towards you.
Destroy the first target and a second target will appear in the back and
will head toward you. Destroy the second target and a third target will
appear in the back and will move toward you.
Destroy the third target to move to the next stage.
0========0
| Stage 3 \
0=====================================>
A target will drop down from the ceiling and move around the range area.
Now it becomes a free-for-all. You must destroy the target pieces and score
twenty points before your rivals do.
If you get to twenty points then you will either move on to the next Weapon
Stage or complete the Challenge.
To make the Challenge easier you should have Hitman Weapon Skill Level for
each of the four weapons prior to doing the Challenge. This will allow you to
duel wield the Pistol and Micro SMG as well as increase your rate of fire.
Even if you get Hitman Weapon Skill Level on all of your weapons, there is
still one stage that can give you fits - Shotgun (Stage 3).
For some reason, both of the computer rivals can destroy more than one target
at a time which is something you can't do. This often leads to them winning
most of the time.
This is very aggravating especially when you consider that you need to go
through both the Pistol and Micro SMG Weapon Stages just to get back to the
Shotgun Stage.
The best thing to do here is wait until the target is completely down before
firing. Hold down the Attack button and only let up when the entire target is
destroyed. Try to aim for another target piece while reloading. This will
increase your chances of hitting your next target piece when you fire again.
After Shotgun (Stage 3) then it gets easier. The computer is not as
aggressive in the AK-47 Weapon Stage.
When you complete the AK-47 Weapon Stage then you will complete the
Ammu-Nation Challenge. You will also get an increase in Weapon Skill and
$10,000 plus another step toward 100% Completion.

If you successfully completed the Driving School then you should get a phone
call from Jethro right after completion of the mission "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom"
(Loco Syndicate) (and before the phone call from the mystery person).
Both Jethro and Cesar have compiled a wish-list of cars and need to turn them
around quick. He suggests that CJ purchase the Wang's Auto car dealership not
far from the Xoomer Garage Safehouse to make things look legitimate.
At this point the "CV" icon should now appear at Wang's Autos. After
completing all of the above tasks I went and bought Wang's Autos for
$50,000. When that is done then the "CV" icon will move over to the Xoomer
Garage.
And this begins a string of missions to acquire cars for the new
dealership.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have to chase the target vehicle so you can stop it and steal it. The
person in the target vehicle will make occasional phone calls on her cell
phone which will allow you to track her. These calls will show as a blip on
your radar.
You need to get to the blip as fast as possible. You will notice that the
blip will turn from red to white then white to black. If the blip
disappears then the trail will go cold and you will fail the mission.
Each time you get to a blip a new blip will appear. You have to follow the
trail of blips around so you can get an accurate position on the target.
Eventually, you will get close enough to see the target vehicle. You need
to spin her out so she will exit the vehicle.
Easier said than done. When you finally find her then she will be driving
like crazy. Plus she is going down the narrow San Fierro streets. This will
make this mission challenging.
However, the faster you can get to her, the better because you have a good
chance of spinning her out before she gets down to the Ocean Flats area.
After you spin her out and take her car then drive it over to the Xoomer
Garage Safehouse to successfully complete the mission.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$5,000 plus Respect Gained.
In addition, you can now mod cars at Wheels ArchAngels in Ocean Flats plus
the car you just took (and the others you take for this Asset) will now be
found in Wang's Autos.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get a car and take Cesar with you to Otto's Autos near Pier 69. After the
cutscene ends then drive off the second floor and into the street. If you
get too far behind or too far ahead of Cesar then you will fail the
mission.
When you make the first right turn then Cesar will play around with the
tram. When he turns left then keep going straight but slow down to match
the speed of the tram. This will keep you from getting too far ahead.
Cesar will then turn back toward you then turn left again. Keep going
straight and to the top of the hill, still going slowly (this will also
keep you from smacking into the trolley if you followed Cesar).
When you get to the top of the hill then turn right and stay just ahead of
Cesar. When you turn left again, at the Church in Calton Heights and go
into the tunnel, then he will use the Nitro on his car.
You don't need to use it on yours. This will help you keep better control
of your car. Cesar will zip ahead of you but won't get too far ahead.
After the tunnel then Cesar will turn right and head down a hill and go
through Juniper Hollow and into Paradiso. CJ will then tell Cesar that it
is time to go back to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse.
But, as you get to the top of the hill, then the Cops show up again and the
chase resumes. When Cesar turns right then keep going straight and turn
right at the next intersection.
This will allow you to avoid the car at the bottom of the hill you would
run into if you followed Cesar. You will hook up with Cesar again at the
bottom of the hill when he turns right.
Later, Cesar will get smacked by the Cops but gets through that. He decides
to cut through a park and head back toward Downtown. As you get past the
trolley station then Cesar decides to take a shortcut through an alley. But
the Cops cut him off and you have to back out.
After backing out of the alley then Cesar will go through a road under
construction. Weave through the obstacles and into the next street. From
here, go back to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse to successfully complete the
mission.

Cesar gets a tip from someone that a car that's on a wish list is being
loaded up on the Docks. CJ decides to check it out.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get in the car with Cesar and drive to the Docks. Get out near the crane
and enter it.
The person who gave the tip to Cesar said that the crate with the car was
marked with spray paint. But, when you enter the crane, then you find out
that none of the three crates are marked. So now you have to go through
them one at a time.
The game will then instruct you on how to use the crane. X and Circle (PS2)
or A and B (Xbox) will drop and raise the magnet respectively.
Use the shadow of the magnet to judge its position over an object. Drop the
magnet over the object to grab it. When you drop the object then press
Circle (PS2) or B (Xbox) to let go. You also use the Left Analog Stick to
rotate the crane arm and move the crane along its tracks.
Grab one of the crates and bring down into the red circle. Gently place it
on the ground.
Cesar will tell CJ that it is not the right one. Go and grab another crate.
Drop this one into the red circle. Cesar will tell CJ that it is not the
right one.
Get the third crate and place it into the red circle. That will have the
right car. I should note that the right car will always be in the last
crate regardless of what order of the crates you pick up.
After you get the target car then you will be attacked by guards. They will
come up in a car and attack Cesar. You must get out of the crane and help
defend Cesar.
After killing the three guards then another car comes up with more guards.
Kill them and two more show up on foot. Kill those and then get in the car.
Now drive to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse. It should be noted that your
reward is tied into the condition of the car. If you damage the car then
you will get less money. Take it to the nearby Pay 'N' Spray if you ding
the car.
When you get to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse then the mission will be
successfully completed.

| Reward \

$10,000 (maximum) plus Respect Gained.
In addition, you will open up.....

| D.II.2. Vehicle Exports And Imports [VEIM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Go back to the Docks and to the large crane where you did the last mission to
do the Exports and Imports. The blackboard where the list can be found is
near the dry-dock gates just northeast of the crane.
There are three lists to complete with ten cars on each list. Each list will
tell you what cars you need to bring in.
You can also import cars for your own use from the same ship. When you get to
the blackboard then you can press Enter Vehicle to view which cars you can
buy. When you start the Exports and Imports Lists then you will see that
there are only Clubs, Jesters and Perennials on the list.
However, what cars you can buy is also determined by what day of the week it
is. If the day you approach the blackboard is on Tuesday then you can only
buy the cars that are under Tuesday.
Cars that you export can also be imported when you cross them off the list.
The first car you bring will appear on Saturday's list, the second will
appear on Sunday's list and so forth.
One very valuable resource and one that I recommend, that I used for this
part of the guide is the Vehicle Location Map drawn up by GamerLady (and can
be found at GameFAQs).
In the past, when you need a specific car, then you had to wander aimlessly
waiting for one to spawn so you can take it. For San Andreas it has been
changed a bit to reduce that. Now every car on the lists can be found parked
somewhere so you can just take it without waiting for it to randomly spawn.
But GamerLady noticed that there are two different car spawn types.
A "Normal" car spawn is where you can find a specific car parked in a
specific spot at anytime during the game. An example would be the Journey
which is always parked at the Film Studio in Los Santos.
A "List" car spawn is where you can find a specific car parked in a specific
spot ONLY when it appears on the car list. An example would be the Slamvan.
It is parked behind the Nude Shop in El Corona (Los Santos) when on the list
but cannot be found there before and after the list.
It should be noted that the car might not be be where it should be when you
get to its parking spot. You might have to go around and come back to get it
to appear.
In addition, you gain bonus cars to import when you complete five and all ten
cars on a list.
Of course, you also get paid when you bring in a car. If the car is damaged
then you get less money.
The best way to maximize your profit is to get the car repaired prior to
bringing it in (either by using a Pay 'N' Spray or putting it in a garage and
letting the door close - the magic repair trick) and use the railroad tracks
near the Cranberry Station to get it to the ship undamaged. Also, you need to
use the crane to keep it unscathed.
The cars will be listed as follows:

Of course, you get a 5-Star Wanted Rating if you try to get it

However, when it appears on the list, then it will also spawn
within the parking lot for Easter Bay Chemicals southeast of
Easter Bay Airport. Get the Patriot from here instead of trying
to get it from the Naval Station. Much easier.
Easier still is if you took advantage of any of the Early
Exploration Exploits and stored a Patriot at the Xoomer Garage
Safehouse while exploring the San Fierro area.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get in the marked car. It has been modified to use Stingers.
These Stingers are used to blow out tires. You need to get in front of the
target car and use a Stinger to blow the tires so you can get the car. Be
careful though, you only have three Stingers to use.
When you get in the car then the target car will appear on the radar. She
will be heading south toward Angel Pine. You need to get in front of her
and press Attack to drop a Stinger and pop her tires.
But she will be driving fast and weaving around the traffic on the narrow
streets near Angel Pine making things a little tricky. However, it's really
not that hard to get in front of her to use the Stinger.
After you pop the tires then get out of your car and go towards hers. You
will get a call from Cesar and CJ tells him of the acquisition. CJ will
also repair the blown tires.
From there, just drive on over to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse to
successfully complete the mission.

| Reward \
0=======================>
$5,000 plus Respect Gained.
In addition, you will complete Wang's Autos Asset and gain a Money Icon at

| The Plan \
0=======================>
The vehicle is a big Monster truck. You have to navigate a checkpoint
course that winds through the desert area in less than 6:30 to pass. There
are thirty five checkpoints to get.
In addition, the truck has a four-wheel steering system instead of a
handbrake. What this means is that when you press Handbrake all four tires
turn when you turn the vehicle.
This allows you to turn the truck on a dime for very sharp cornering
although it still swerves a bit when you exit the turn. It takes a little
while to get used to.
The truck allows you to make your own path to each checkpoint. Be careful
to use the Reverse to brake instead of using Handbrake if you need to slow
down.
When you get back to the ranch then you will be compared on a high score
list with previous drivers. The better your time, the more flattering the
comments and the more money you get.
If you get a time below 4:20 then your reward will be $5,000 (thanks to
Randy Russell for that information). This also successfully completes the
mission.

Get on the motorcycle and take Cesar with you to go after the truck. The
truck is on the Garver Bridge heading into San Fierro. Go on the freeway
and onto the Garver Bridge to go after the truck.
When you get to the truck then you need to get close to the driver and hold
that position for a few seconds so Cesar can jump onto the truck. This is a
little tricky because the driver of the truck is weaving through traffic
and knocking the cars around.
When Cesar finally gets in the truck then there are a few seconds where he
is struggling with the driver. After that then the truck stops.
Then get in the truck and drive it to the Xoomer Garage Safehouse to
successfully complete the mission.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to go over to El Castillo Del Diablo to drop the flare. But first
you need to go over to the ghost town in Las Brujas.
Use the BF Injection nearby to get there. When you get to the ghost town
then you are provided with a RPG and the use of three different vehicles to
get you up to El Castillo Del Diablo.
Don't bother with the RPG - just take a vehicle (I prefer the Sanchez) and
get up to the blip.
When you get there then CJ will drop the flare. As the helicopter
approaches then it is intercepted by black helicopters. You must protect
the large helicopter from the black helicopters. This is where the
Heat-Seeking RPGs come into play.
You will deal with a total of five black helicopters but only two will show
to attack at any one time.
Aim the Heat-Seeking RPG at a black helicopter and track it until the
reticle becomes red. Then launch and forget. The rocket will do the rest.
Target another black helicopter and repeat the process. Using the
Heat-Seeking RPGs makes this part of the mission easy.
Make sure that the black helicopter you target are not too close to you or
you may get hurt when it crashes near you. When you destroy all five black
helicopters then the large helicopter will fly off and drop a package north
of the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard.
Get back on your vehicle and drive off to get it. When you get there then
pick it up and take it back to El Castillo Del Diablo to successfully
complete the mission.

Toreno wants CJ to go over to the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard and buy
it for him. He is to offer the owners of the property a dollar and kill them
if they give him a hard time.
This is not a mission per se. Just go on over and buy the property. However,
it is abandoned and it will cost you $80,000.
And, in buying the property, you are also opening up.....
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| D.II.4. "Learning To Fly" (Verdant Meadows Flight School) [LRFL] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
After buying the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard then you open up the
Verdant Meadows Flight School (operated by Mike Toreno). There are ten tests
to pass in order to proceed further in the story.
Like the other schools, you also get bonus vehicles for getting all Bronzes,
Silvers and Golds. They can be found parked near your Verdant Meadows
Aircraft Graveyard Safehouse:
>>All Bronzes - Rustler.
>>All Silvers - Stuntplane.
>>All Golds - Hunter.
If you want to use the Hunter in the Vigilante Mission or for general
mischief then you need to get all Golds here. Fortunately, most of the tests
are easy to get Golds in but there are a couple that will be a bit
frustrating.
There are three aircraft that are used at the School: Rustler, Hunter and
the Stuntplane.
When flying the Rustler then you need to get high up in the air quickly
without stalling. The best thing to do when taking off is to angle up gently
until you are up in the air.
Once in the air then raise the landing gear and angle up about 45 degrees.
This will allow you to increase speed and altitude quickly so you can reach
the coronas.
The Stuntplane has very sensitive controls which make it hard to control.
Gentle movements of the joystick is all that is needed to maintain control of
the aircraft. It will take a little practice to effectively fly the plane.
Here are the ten tests:
0========0
| Takeoff \
0=====================================>
You have to lift off and fly though three coronas. Very easy to pass. Do
this in 30 seconds to get Gold.
0===========0
| Land Plane \
0=====================================>
You have to fly through one corona and land the plane. Then stop in the
designated area. You can't let the nose touch the ground or you will incur
a damage penalty. Do this in under 30 seconds to get the Gold.
0================0
| Circle Airstrip \
0=====================================>
You have to fly a circular course near the airfield. You are also given a
choice of a Counterclockwise or Clockwise direction. Not too hard to pass.
Do this in under a minute to get Gold.
0=========================0
| Circle Airstrip And Land \
0=====================================>
This is harder than the last test. You fly the same circular course but now
you have to land the plane into the designated area. Screwing up the
landings is what may cost you some chances to pass the test. Do this
perfectly in under 80 seconds to get the Gold.
0===================0
| Helicopter Takeoff \
0=====================================>
You must liftoff, rise straight up then level, turn around and fly through
a corona. Very easy to pass and you will probably get the Gold just by
completing it the first time.
0================0
| Land Helicopter \
0=====================================>
You must now land the helicopter. Very easy to pass. May take a couple of
tries to get the Gold.
0================0
| Destroy Targets \
0=====================================>
You have to destroy three static targets on the runway then two moving
targets near the Snake Farm.
Use the Rockets to destroy the trucks (although Randy Russell says that the
Machine Guns are better for that task) and use the Machine Gun to destroy
the vans. After that then land the Hunter on the runway pointing east.
This is a little harder because of lining up the targets and trying to
destroy them as quickly as possible plus landing the Hunter correctly. You
can get Gold if you do this in under 90 seconds.
0==============0
| Loop-The-Loop \
0=====================================>
You have to go through two coronas.
After passing through the first corona then pull back the stick to do the
loop and fly through the second corona to end the test. Fairly easy to pass
but more frustrating to Gold in.
Why? Because of the very tight time limit. You need to do this in 21
seconds to get the Gold and I always seem to end up with 22 seconds.
The best way to get the necessary speed to make an attempt at Gold is after
the first corona wait until you are near the second corona to do the loop
instead of doing it after the first one.
Also keeping the plane straight after the loop will improve your chances at
Gold. Some people have had success getting the Gold by going into First
Person view during this test.
0============0
| Barrel Roll \
0=====================================>
This test is much harder than the last one.
You have to use the Stuntplane to fly through one corona, do a barrel roll,
then fly through the second corona to end the test. The extremely sensitive
controls of the Stuntplane make it very easy for you to corkscrew it into
the ground.
It will take many attempts before you can get the handle on this plane.
Just like in the last test, the best way to get Gold is to wait until you
get near the second corona before doing the barrel roll.
Some people have had success getting the Gold by going into First Person
view during this test. You need to do this test in 18 seconds or less to
get the Gold.
0======================0
| Parachute Onto Target \
0=====================================>
You have to skydive down and deploy your chute. Then you have to glide to a
target area.
The target area is divided into scores. You have to land in the center to
increase your chances for passing.
This is very easy to pass and get Gold in. When you start the test then
push forward to speed down. When you are prompted to deploy your parachute
then wait five seconds and then deploy.
Then pull back on the stick to help you land in the center. Landing in the
center in less than a minute will get you the Gold.
After successfully completing the Flight School, regardless of what medals
you have, then you will open up the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard Asset
Missions. You will also get a call from Wu Zi Mu inviting you to come over to
Las Venturas to check out his new place.
In addition, all of the aircraft at Easter Bay Airport, which were locked,
are now unlocked and ready to fly. Thanks to Brian Stell for pointing that
out (it should be noted that he mentioned "Mike Toreno" as the mission where
the planes unlock.
But, after playing through the PS2 version, then I found that it actually
unlocks here (could unlock at a different point in another version)).
But I am going to do something that came up during "Verdant Meadows" (Mike
Toreno) first.....

| D.II.5. Race Tournaments [RCTU] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
During "Verdant Meadows" (Mike Toreno) you will get a call from Jethro. He
informs CJ about illegal street races that take place all over San Andreas.
After the phone call then four checkered flag icons appear on your in-game
map. These are where you can pick up the Race Tournaments.
One is in Los Santos, one is in San Fierro and two are in Las Venturas. You
do these races in a variety of vehicles and terrains.
Each race listed will also include the vehicle you use. When you are in a
race that uses a motorcycle then you can use your sub-machine gun to create
havoc you can use to pass up or destroy your opponents. Get lots of ammo for
your sub-machine gun of choice before doing a motorcycle race.
Winning a race will earn you $10,000 and winning all of the races in all four
tournaments will earn you $1,000,000 plus an additional step toward 100%
Completion.

| D.II.5.A. Los Santos Race Tournaments \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The Los Santos Race Tournaments can be picked up behind a building just east
of the Alhambra Club in Little Mexico. There are nine races but you have
already done three of them in earlier missions. Those three races are here in
case you want to improve your best time.
0====================================0
| Race #1 - The Lowrider Race (Blade) \
0============================================================>
You did this one in "High Stakes, Low Rider" (Cesar Vialpando). You do not
have to do this again unless you want to improve your best time. The only
difference is in the car you use.
0================================0
| Race #2 - Little Loop (NRG-500) \
0============================================================>
This is a very short course. Although you can shoot up your opponents, it
is best to concentrate on the course because of its short length.
0======================================0
| Race #3 - Backroad Wanderer (FCR-900) \
0============================================================>
I hate this one. The crooked roads and the hills made it hard to get ahead,
and stay ahead, of my rivals. Plus the bikes were tougher to shoot up as
well.
The best thing to do is stay focused on the riding. You can easily screw up
on these roads if you try to take down any of your opponents.
0=================================0
| Race #4 - City Circuit (FCR-900) \
0============================================================>
A bit easier than the last race because the course is longer and is more of
an oval shape.
There is also an excellent opportunity at the beginning to use your
sub-machine gun to take down at least one of the competitors and screw up
the others. It's pretty easy to get into first place and stay there.
0=============================0
| Race #5 - Vinewood (Sunrise) \
0============================================================>
This one's worse than Backroad Wanderer. The Sunrise is not a good racing
car at all. Difficult to corner at high speed and it doesn't climb well
either.
And you have to go through some of the same course you went through with
Backroad Wanderer. Slow down when you go down the hill leading to the road
bridge in Mulholland. This will allow you to maintain control.
Hopefully most of your opponents wipe out here giving you a chance to win.
When you get back down into Los Santos then the course becomes easier.
There are a couple of long straight-aways that will allow you to pass up
any opponents that are in your way.
0=============================0
| Race #6 - Freeway (Super GT) \
0============================================================>
You go up against five other sports cars on this course. The Super GT has a
tendency to spin around 180 degrees when you barely clip something thus
making it a frustrating car to use.
The best thing to do is to get into the incoming lane and try to keep out
of their way and make your move when you get to the Didier Sachs billboard
since you can cut though the median and gain position.
The other challenge is maintaining control of your car. It slides easy so
you may find yourself smacking into things if you're not careful.
The car's not durable either so you could find yourself blowing it up if
you run into too many things.
0====================================0
| Race #7 - Into The Country (Bullet) \
0============================================================>
The Bullet is a much better car than the Super GT. You can gain position
very quickly and even be in first place before getting out of Ocean Docks.
Despite the length of the course this is an easy race. However, it should
be noted, that the traffic will play a role in your success or failure.
On the freeways the traffic has a nasty habit of switching lanes regardless
of who's in the other lane or coming up behind them. Getting snagged by the
traffic will either lead to losing position or your car since the Bullet is
not much more durable than the Super GT.
0=============================0
| Race #8 - Badlands A (Sabre) \
0============================================================>
You did this one in "Wu Zi Mu" (Cesar Vialpando). You do not have to do
this again unless you want to improve your best time. The only difference
is that you have to use a Sabre instead of the car you chose when doing the
mission.
0==============================0
| Race #9 - Badlands B (ZR-350) \
0============================================================>
You did this one in "Farewell, My Love..." (Cesar Vialpando). You do not
have to do this again unless you want to improve your best time.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| D.II.5.B. San Fierro Race Tournaments \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The San Fierro Race Tournaments can be picked up behind Wang's Autos in
Downtown. There are six races to be performed.
0====================================0
| Race #1 - Dirtbike Danger (Sanchez) \
0============================================================>
You go through the Back O Beyond area on a Sanchez. This one is pretty
easy and you may be able to shoot up a couple of your opponents for good
measure.
0====================================0
| Race #2 - Bandito Country (Bandito) \
0============================================================>
This race also takes place in Back O Beyond. The Bandito is a bit unstable
and you can flip it over easy. However, you can pass your rivals quickly in
the beginning so you can focus on the course and maintaining control of the
Bandito.
0===============================0
| Race #3 - GO-GO Karting (Kart) \
0============================================================>
This race is unusual in that you use a Kart similar to the type you find at
amusement parks. It is capable of incredibly sharp turns. It will take a
little time to get used to it but, once you do, then it will be okay.
0======================================0
| Race #4 - San Fierro Fastlane (Alpha) \
0============================================================>
Now things start to get a little harder. The Alpha is another car that can
get spun around easily when it hits something.
The course has plenty of hills and curves and traffic to make things
interesting. The main goal is to be in first place when you reach the top
of the hill after passing the parking garage for Pier 69.
If not then it will be difficult to get first place after that point.
0=====================================0
| Race #5 - San Fierro Hills (Phoenix) \
0============================================================>
The Phoenix is also another one of those slider cars (where it spins 180
degrees when you smack a lightpole and swerves a lot when trying to make
turns).
The first part of the course is kind of hard because of the hills but when
you reach the freeway you can cut loose.
Then it gets hard again because of Missionary Hill. The traffic on that
hill can make things tricky. Your opponents may be able to catch up to you
here but, once you get back on the freeway, then you can get ahead of them
again.
Once you get past the Xoomer Gas Station then it is pretty much smooth
sailing from there.
0=====================================0
| Race #6 - Country Endurance (Bullet) \
0============================================================>
The Bullet is a much better car than the Phoenix. This course is long but
there are plenty of opportunities to get ahead.
The traffic disappears when you get past the bridge leading back into Red
County, comes back again for a short time when near the Los Santos Inlet,
then re-appears when you get near the San Fierro area.
There are also plenty of places to fly off the course which you can easily
do when you forget how much power the Bullet has.
The hairpin turns in the middle and the end of the course are places where
you can get off the course. The curve near the Whetstone Safehouse is
another major danger spot.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| D.II.5.C. Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Cars) \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Cars) can be picked up behind a building
in the southern part of LVA Freight Depot. There are only four races to be
performed but they are more lengthy than the others.
0=============================0
| Race #1 - SF to LV (Banshee) \
0============================================================>
Despite the length this race isn't too hard. It's a little tricky in the
beginning because of your rivals trying to get position.
However, most of them will get caught up in the toll booths for the Gant
Bridge so you can get to first place rather quickly. You still have to be
wary of the traffic because of their lane switching and you certainly don't
want to get caught up in that.
0==============================0
| Race #2 - Dam Rider (NRG-500) \
0============================================================>
At the beginning you can use your sub-machine gun to mess up or even take
down some of your opponents. This will help you get to first place quickly.
There are also a few little shortcuts that can help you to stay in first
place.
0==================================0
| Race #3 - Desert Tricks (FCR-900) \
0============================================================>
Your opponents are much better so it is a little harder to pass them up.
There is a little shortcut at the hairpin turn just as you get to the road.
You can use the long straightaway across the bridge to get some speed.
Usually the leader will stumble just past the Xoomer Gas Station thus
allowing you to pass him up. If he tries to pass you up then just use your
sub-machine gun on him to take him down.
0================================0
| Race #4 - LV Ringroad (Turismo) \
0============================================================>
The course involves you going around Las Venturas using the main freeways.
The hard part is dealing with the traffic. The best thing to do is get on
the right shoulder and stay there. This will allow you to pass up traffic,
and your opponents, with ease.
Just be careful when you get to exit ramps because of the traffic trying to
use them.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| D.II.5.D. Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Aircraft) \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The Las Venturas (Aircraft) Race Tournaments can be picked up behind a
building just to the right of the airport gate at Las Venturas Airport. There
are six races to be performed but they are done with aircraft instead of
cars.
The main thing about these races are that you don't have opponents to deal
with. Take your time through the courses and you should be fine.
0==================================0
| Race #1 - World War Ace (Rustler) \
0============================================================>
The Rustler is an old WWII plane. It has good speed and handles okay.
The course winds through Downtown Los Santos and through the country and
back again. The early part of the course is the hardest because of the hill
at Verdant Bluffs and the checkpoint between buildings.
If you swerve around too much trying to get checkpoints then put down the
landing gear. It will serve as a brake to help you keep a handle on the
plane.
0====================================0
| Race #2 - Barnstorming (Stuntplane) \
0============================================================>
This race can be a real pain because of the plane that you use.
As you have already found out during Flight School, the Stuntplane has very
sensitive controls and it is very easy to wipe out the plane. It also has a
nasty tendency to sputter when trying to climb.
This can be a problem in the middle of the course when you need to go up a
hillside and over some trees. Another problem spot is when you have to turn
left and go under a bridge in south Flint County.
Use the Look Left and Look Right buttons to gently turn the plane when it
is level. Also make fine movements of the stick to maintain control.
I also found out that tapping Accelerate allows me to maintain a solid but
controllable speed.
0===================================0
| Race #3 - Military Service (Hydra) \
0============================================================>
The Hydra is a VTOL (Vertical TakeOff and Landing) plane that is based on
the Harrier jet.
Since that this is probably the first time you will be flying the plane,
here is a VERY important piece of info.
To go from vertical liftoff mode to jet mode, push up on the Right Analog
Stick for a few seconds. When you need to go from jet mode to landing mode
then pull back on the Right Analog Stick for a few seconds.
The best thing to do is leave the landing gear down when you do the course.
This will slow down the jet quite a bit but will allow you to maintain
control of the Hydra.
The only problem part comes when you get near the Restricted Area. The
first time you get near it then try to stay near the mesas to your left and
clip the corona with your right wing. When you come around the second time
then try to clip the corona with your left wing.
As you fly over the southwest portion of San Fierro near the end of the
course then you may want to put up the landing gear to improve your time.

| Race #4 - Chopper Checkpoint (Maverick) \
0============================================================>
This is not much different than the Chopper Checkpoint Races done in Vice
City. The Maverick is a easy to control chopper plus the course isn't too
hard either. You should have no problems here unless you really suck at
flying helicopters.
0==========================================0
| Race #5 - Whirly Bird Waypoint (Maverick) \
0============================================================>
You still use the same helicopter as in the last race but the course is
much harder.
You have to go in-between buildings a lot during the first half of the
course. Make careful movements and take your time.
Once you get out near the clock tower and head north then the course will
get a lot easier. According to Phil Carter, who has the PC version, the
chopper is a San Andreas News chopper which appears to be a little harder
to control.
0=============================0
| Race #6 - Heli Hell (Hunter) \
0============================================================>
In the open, the Hunter makes an excellent offensive weapon. But, in the
confines of Los Santos, then it doesn't do so well.
It's fast but it really doesn't turn on a dime so it handles like a pig in
close quarters. It is very difficult to fly this thing without smacking it
into the buildings.
Really take your time and ease gently into the coronas. The hardest part of
the course is getting the corona from under the Mulholland Intersection. As
you get near Verdant Bluffs then the course gets easier.
One of my readers, Anders Paulson, suggested that, if you have trouble
getting Gold in the Flight School (to acquire the Hunter), then you can
actually save the Hunter used in Heli Hell.
When you start the race then fly up to the Verdant Meadows Aircraft
Graveyard. There is a large hangar where you can save aircraft. Carefully
fly the Hunter into the hangar and exit.
You will eventually be disqualified for leaving the aircraft but it will be
saved for you at the hangar. Almost as good as getting Gold in Flight
School.
And speaking of the Hunter.....

0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
If you got all Golds at the Flight School or acquired one storing one and
failing "Heli Hell" and you waited until now to do it then you can go ahead
and do the Vigilante Mission using the Hunter attack helicopter.
The powerful Machine Gun and Rockets of the Hunter will allow you to quickly
complete the twelve levels you need to finish to obtain the increased Body
Armor and take another step toward 100% Completion.
You can also continue beyond Level 12 of the Vigilante Mission and make more
money for yourself. The rewards for completing a level will increase the
longer you play the Mission.
If you're really good at flying the Hunter then you can make a lot of money
quickly. Perhaps even more money than by using the Inside Track Betting
parlors.

| D.II.7. Vigilante Mission (Rhino) [VGRO] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Of course, if you unable to get all Golds to spawn the Hunter, then there is
an another way to do the Vigilante Mission.
Just south of Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard is the Restricted Area. It
is here where you can acquire a Rhino tank.
Although you opened up the Desert / Las Venturas area after completion of the
mission "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" (Loco Syndicate), the Rhino won't spawn here until
after completion of the mission "Verdant Meadows" (Mike Toreno). This is
because, after "Verdant Meadows", is when you can max out your Wanted Rating
at 6-Stars.
It is best to know where the nearby Police Bribes are at before trying to
acquire the Rhino because you will get a 5-Star Wanted Rating when entering
the Restricted Area. After getting rid of the Wanted Rating then you can
safely start the Vigilante Mission.
The best place to start is around the Fort Carson area (as suggested to me by
Bragon the Bat). Most of the targets will tend to stay in the rural areas so
you won't have to deal with as much traffic.
The tank is fast enough to let you to ram the target vehicles instead of
shooting them. This will allow you to keep the Wanted Ratings to a minimum.
And, since the tank is impervious to gunfire, then you can get Level 12 and
beyond without much effort.
Just don't let the Rhino linger near any large flames since fire is the only
thing that can destroy it (and destroy it quickly might add).
Now back to the Main Story.....

0=======================>
Get in the Rustler and head to the runway. You have ten minutes to drop the
stuff off and fly back. The drop point is in Angel Pine. You also have to
fly low or you will show up on the radar.
If your Visibility Bar maxes out then you will be spotted and some Hydras
will fly toward you to check you out. Duck back under the radar to throw
them off. If you are still visible then they will fire on you. Duck the
missiles or you will be destroyed.
The best route to use, according to Randy Russell and which I found to be
very useful, is to fly due west and when you get near Las Payasdas turn
north. When you reach the water then turn west and fly down close to the
water. Follow the coastline and you will reach San Fierro.
Keep going south until you reach Angel Pine. Lower your landing gear to
slow you down and make it easier for you to fly through the corona. Once
you make the drop then raise your landing gear and go back the way you
came.
Follow the coastline and, when you get near Las Payasdas, then fly up and
over the small town then put down your landing gear and ease down onto the
runway.
After you have landed the plane and stopped in the red circle then the
mission is successfully completed.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are two parts to this mission.
The first part involves getting on the plane. You need to go up the ramp of
the plane using a motorcycle.
However, when you start your approach, then the plane will be trying to
take off. Worse, somebody on the plane will be throwing barrels down the
ramp in an attempt to keep you from getting on the plane.
If you get knocked off course by a barrel then you'll fail the mission
because you won't be able to straighten back out and make another attempt
at the ramp before the plane takes off.
But you can avoid the barrels by approaching the ramp at an angle instead
of straight on. The barrels spread out when they are thrown from the plane.
Just stay to the right of the spread pattern as you approach the ramp.
When you start your approach then go straight past the truck, which should
be to your left, and lean forward a little to gain speed and gently angle
left toward the ramp as you get closer but staying just outside the spread
pattern of the barrels. You should be able to get to the ramp just before
it starts to close.
The second part is when you get on the plane. You need to go to the front
of the plane to plant some explosives so you can destroy the plane. If you
don't have any Remote Explosives to blow up the plane then you will be
given some.
In addition, there are still barrels coming down the middle of the plane.
They will knock you down but they don't seem to do any damage.
There are also several agents throughout the plane that should be dealt
with. You have to be careful when using firearms on the plane.
If you miss one of the agents then you will blow up the plane, with you in
it, and fail the mission. When I want to use a firearm then I use the
Silenced Pistol but I still recommend the use of a melee weapon.
Gradually go up the plane and dispose of the agents with your weapon of
choice. Get the Parachute off the last agent so you can get off the
plane safely.
It should be noted that even if you have a Parachute or max Flight Skill
then you will need to kill this agent to get the Parachute. If you exit the
plane without a Parachute then you will fail the mission and die (you will
smash onto the top of a car at the drive-in theater in Fort Carson).
After you get to the very front of the plane then plant the Remote
Explosive and exit the plane through the rear ramp to successfully complete
the mission.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$20,000.
In addition, you will be free-falling so you will need to parachute safely
to the ground.
However, you will be really high up. I mean really high up. You start
free-falling way above the maximum flight ceiling somewhere over Fort
Carson.
When using the Parachute then you can actually glide all the way back to
Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard (while avoiding the Restricted Area).

| The Plan \
0=======================>
The Truth wants you to go into the Restricted Area and get the Black
Project under development. The best way into the bunker complex is through
the blast doors.
There are also searchlights and soldiers on patrol. If you are seen then
the blast doors will be locked down and you will have to find another way
inside.
You will be given Thermal Goggles and several ways that you can get through
this area. You need to get in by 0530 or you will fail the mission.
When you start then mission then you will be outside the entrance and you
will also see a Body Armor icon near the inside of the entrance. The
fastest way is through stealth and using the Silenced Pistol to kill any
nearby soldiers.
Avoid the searchlights and head to the control tower. Once there then step
into the red circle to open the blast doors and run to them before they
close again.
If you are spotted and there is a lock-down then go to the nearby vents to
gain entrance. At the end of the vent shaft is a Health Icon if you need
it.
Once inside then you need to get to the research facility to gain access to
the Black Project. You are also prompted to disable the SAM's outside to
make it easier for you later.
You will also need to deal with the soldiers throughout the complex as you
progress. The soldiers carry M4's so you can get some ammo for yours when
you kill them.
When you reach the first room then turn right and up the stairs to enter a
small room with a Body Armor Icon and a Mini-Gun. Get rid of all of the
soldiers in this room and go down to the lower floor.
Go south and you will be on the upper level of a larger room. Kill
everybody here before proceeding.
In the next room to the south there is a Body Armor Icon. Head down to the
lower level and head east along the grilled walkway.
If you look down then you will see a Health Icon and a Body Armor Icon.
There are two ways to go down below the grilled walkway to retrieve them if
you need them.
Go up the stairs and you will enter another area with crisscrossing
hallways. There are several soldiers here and you should deal with them
before proceeding.
There is a corridor that angles up and into the next large room that has a
Body Armor Icon and a scientist with a Pass Card. Get the Pass Card and go
to the red circle to open the door to gain access to the Black Project.
The next area leads down to the Black Project and has a long set of stairs
winding down to it. It also has lots of soldiers you need to get rid of and
this is when you really need to use the M4.
Go down the stairs and stop every so often to kill any soldiers you can
target. When you finally clear the area of soldiers and get downstairs then
you will finally find the Black Project - a Jetpack!
Get the Jetpack and go straight up to get out. You will be provided with a
Micro SMG to kill any soldier while trying to get up and out of the complex
regardless of whatever Sub-machine Gun you had previously.
Then head over to Arco Del Oeste to drop off the Jetpack to The Truth. As
you fly there then the game will instruct you on how to use the Jetpack.
You can only use the Pistol and Micro SMG when shooting from above while
using the Jetpack (and yes, even dual wielded).
When you reach the blip and The Truth then the mission will be successfully
completed.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Nothing.
But you are provided with a Sanchez so you can get off the mountain. Also,
you can now purchase Desert Eagles at all Ammu-Nations.
In addition, the Thermal Goggles will now spawn in the following
locations:
>>In Madd Dogg's Crib (Los Santos) inside the barroom on first floor by
the large TV after completion of "A Home In The Hills" (The Four
Dragons Casino).
>>Inside of Zero RC [southeast corner] (San Fierro).
>>Underneath the north part of the huge dish (by the Sandking) at The Big
Ear (Bone County).
>>Inside the short control tower at the south central part of the
military complex at the Restricted Area (Bone County).

Regardless of whatever sub-machine gun you have you will be provided with a
Micro SMG for this mission. You also can't take off the Jetpack so you
can't use any other weapons.
In addition, according to Bragon the Bat, if you already have the Micro SMG
in your inventory, then you will be given an additional 2,000 rounds.
Fly up and head east toward the north part of Las Venturas. Then land on
the top part of the north building for Yellow Bell Station.
The train will be heading west and you can stand here and pick off most of
the soldiers on the train as it passes by.
After you kill most of the soldiers then fly off and to the train to pick
off the rest of them. There are also three crates that need to be destroyed
to find the Green Goo.
Regardless of what order you destroy them, the Green Goo will always be in
the last crate.
After you get the Green Goo then fly off to the Aircraft Graveyard and land
in the red circle to successfully complete the mission.

per day.
Also, the Jetpack will now spawn near the entrance of the Verdant Meadows
Aircraft Graveyard Safehouse for you to use.

The would-be-saboteur has been tied to the windshield of your car. You need
to do some crazy things in your driving to scare him into talking.
There is a Scare-O-Meter to help you in finding out how much you are
scaring him. You can't really go onto the main highways (because of
potential Police attention) and getting into a bad wreck (especially
head-on) will kill him.
The best thing to do is head for the Las Venturas Airport runway where you
can do whatever you want without risking any collisions. Simply go from one
end of the runway to the other really fast since high speeds is one thing
that scares your victim.
When the Scare-O-Meter maxes out then he will talk. He will tell you that
the Sindacco Family is behind the sabotage.
After that then take him back to the Casino. When you reach the Casino then
the mission will be successfully completed.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Head out toward Hunter Quarry which is indicated by the blip. When you get
there then you will see a cutscene showing some workers setting up
Explosives.
You have two and a half minutes to get the four explosives before the
workers detonate them and you fail the mission. You also need to get a
heavy piece of machinery to destroy the crates so you can get the
Explosives.
Although you can easily get the explosives within the time limit, Glen
Winstein gave me a piece of info that is really useful here. If you find
the guy with the Dynamite Plunger (near the center of the Quarry) and kill
him then the timer will disappear and you can take as much time as you need
to complete this stage of the mission.
Just fly off the ledges to quickly get to the bottom of the Quarry. Get in
the Dumper and run over a crate then get out and get the Explosive. Three
Explosives are on the ground and one is on a Forklift. Once you get the
four Explosives then the next phase of the mission begins.
The Quarry security has sealed off the entrance so you need to find another
way out. You need to get on the nearby Sanchez and follow the checkpoints,
which also involve climbing over the quarry equipment, to get out of the
area. Kill any security person that gets in your way.
But reader Sarah Jane Marley came up with a much better way. Head toward
the entrance of the Quarry. At the entrance the gates are shut, blocked off
with two armored vehicles and guarded by four guards with Shotguns.
What you need to do is, when you get near the entrance, and instead of
going up the ramp to where the guards are at, then go left and up another
ramp. Stop when you get to the top, get off the Sanchez and arm your Sniper
Rifle. Then pick off the four Shotgun wielding guards.
After you do that then go to the entrance and get into one of the armored
vehicles. Back it up against the closed gate and get out. Climb up the
vehicle and then the fence to get out of the Quarry.
Regardless of method, once you get out of the Quarry, then go over to the
drop point, not far from the Quarry, to successfully complete the mission.

Once you have completed "Explosive Situation" (The Four Dragons Casino) then
you open up the Hunter Quarry Asset Missions.
There are seven missions that you need to do to complete the asset. All of
these missions have a time limit and a reward for completing them.
You pick up these missions near the front entrance of Hunter Quarry:
0==========0
| Mission 1 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 3:30.
Reward: $500.
Notes: You need to use the Dozer to push the boulders into the markers
before time expires. There are seven of them and are fairly spread
out.
Go down level by level. There is one on the south side that needs to
be taken care of before you get the others which are mostly on the
north side. This mission is not too hard otherwise.
0==========0
| Mission 2 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 1:30 (at start).
Reward: $1,000.
Notes: Bombs have been planted by a rival organization and you need to use
the Dozer to push each bomb safely away into markers.
You gain another minute and a half of time when you succeed in
pushing a bomb away. The bombs are located behind the site office,
crane, grinder and crushers.
After moving the last bomb from the crushers then you need to get
beyond the blast radius. Once that is done then the mission is
completed. If you had no problems with the last mission then this
one should pose no problems either.
0==========0
| Mission 3 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 8:00.
Reward: $2,000.
Notes: Now you have to chase the bombers in a Dumper before they can reach
safety.
Believe it or not, despite its huge size, the Dumper is quite
vulnerable to sub-machine gun fire.
So, catch up to them, get beside them and drive-by them to quickly
destroy their vehicle and complete the mission. Pretty easy if you
can deal with the traffic.
Another method, from Bragon the Bat, is to push the Dumper into the
water when you get close enough to the inlet.
0==========0
| Mission 4 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 4:00.
Reward: $3,000.
Notes: The bombers have been caught and killed. Now you have to get the
bodies, which are at the other entrance, and dump them before the
Cops come looking.
Take the Sanchez and drive along the outside of the north part of
the quarry and stay as close to the fence as possible. You should
get to the other entrance in about thirty seconds.
Get the Dumper, with the bodies and drive back to the main entrance.
You have to be careful here.
If any of the bodies fall out then you will fail the mission. When
you get to the main entrance then you need to get down to the lower
level and dump the bodies in the fire.
Take it slow going down to the fire. When at the fire then back up
the Dumper and use the Right Analog Stick to dump the bodies into
the fire.
It is important to note that you should use the Handbrake while
dumping or the Dumper will move forward. Once all three bodies fall
into the fire then the mission will be successfully completed.
0==========0
| Mission 5 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 3:00.
Reward: $5,000.
Notes: Take the Dumper, which has explosives in it, and drive it up to the
Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard.
You need to be careful because the fragile cargo. Even so, this
mission is pretty easy. Drive up there and dodge whatever traffic
comes your way.
Once you get to the Graveyard then go to the west end of the runway
and dump the explosives to complete the mission.
0==========0
| Mission 6 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 3:00.
Reward: $7,500.
Notes: A Dumper has spilled a load of explosives on a nearby train track
and you need to clear them off before the next train comes along.
The hardest part of the mission is getting there because of the slow
speed of the Dozer. According to Phil Carter all you need to do is
just go straight on the tracks.
The barrels will go off to either the left or right on their own.
You still might need to get at a couple that didn't get off the
tracks completely but this is faster than what I had written here
previously.
Once you get the last barrel off the track then the train will pass
by and the mission will be successfully completed.
0==========0
| Mission 7 \
0=====================================>
>>Time: 8:00.
Reward: $10,000.
Notes: A Cop has been killed and you need to get rid of the body before the
Cops come looking.
Get down to the bottom, use the Sanchez and fly off the edges to get
down quickly and get into the Dozer. You need to push the body and
the Cop bike into the red circle.
You can't ride the Cop bike into the red circle - the game won't let
you. After you get both objects into the red circle then get out of
the Dumper and back onto the Sanchez to quickly get up to the crane.
This part is tricky because of how this particular crane handles.
After you get both objects into the Dumper then get out of the crane
and into the Dumper.
Now you need to get up to the main entrance. You need to be careful
because, if any of the objects fall out, then the mission will be
failed.
Once you get up to the main entrance then you need to dump the
objects into the water nearby. This is probably the trickiest part
of the mission because, other than trying the cross the highway with
the cars smacking into you, is that you need to back up and get real
close to the edge then dump the objects (don't forget to hold down
Handbrake just to be safe).
After the objects are dumped then the mission is successfully
completed and you will also complete the Hunter Quarry Asset
Missions.
Reader Ron Schock also came up with the idea of driving the truck
BACKWARDS to the dumping spot once he got out of the Quarry.
He found that it is much easier to run over the traffic without the
objects falling out because the objects only threaten to fall out if
you are hit by trafic while going forwards. It is also easier to
back up to the drop-off spot since you are already going there
backwards.
For completing all seven Hunter Quarry Asset Missions then you gain a Money
Icon near the front entrance that will generate maximum revenue of $2,000 per
day plus use of a Dozer and Dumper within the quarry.
You can also redo the missions and improve upon your best times. When you
redo the missions then you can skip to whichever mission you want to try.
However, the time needed to finish the mission will be drastically reduced
thus increasing the challenge.
Now back to the Main Story.....

After discovering some fake chips, made by the Sindacco Family, floating
around the casino then CJ decides to make a visit to their plastics

When you are notified that the factory is guarded then your Wanted Ratings
will freeze. You can either cause chaos or grab a Rhino from Area 69 and
save it at any garage large enough to hold it (if you don't want to wait
for 100% Completion to spawn one).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go over to the factory unit in Whitewood Estates. When you get there then
you will be notified that the factory is guarded and you should try to
sneak in.
Drive through the gate but angle northeast. Drive around the building and
park where the Chainsaw Weapon Icon is at on the south side of the building
then get out.
Now carefully go along the wall and sneak in on the right side of the
entrance. If you do this right then nothing will happen when you get
inside.
At this point the machines are indestructible but all of the guards are
just standing around. They won't activate until you trigger a cutscene of
you entering the place so you can get rid of them now without any problem.
I prefer to use the Silenced Pistol for this part. There are two guys on
the top level and four on the bottom level. There is also a guy in a
Forklift near the entrance BUT leave him alone for now.
After killing all of the guards here then head near the bottom of the
stairs and aim your gun at the car parked outside. Shoot the car and you
will trigger a cutscene of the guards going inside the factory.
These guards will take up position on the shelving not far from the
entrance. Like the other guards, they will just stand around. But the
machines are still indestructible. Kill both of the guards and turn back to
the Forklift.
*NOW* kill the guy in the Forklift. When you do that then you will trigger
another cutscene. Notice that there is no one in the cutscene other than
Carl (you killed the guards that would show up in the cutscene).
You will be placed just inside the front entrance. Two more guards will
appear on the top level and you can kill them with ease. If you triggered
the cutscenes without killing any guards then you would have to face all of
these guards at once. By doing it this way then you have made your task
easier.
Now for a nice little tip given to me by Phil Carter. Take your Remote
Grenades and place one at each machine then switch to the Detonator (do NOT
detonate yet).
Leave the factory and take the car that the guards were sitting in. Drive
to the Whitewood Estates Burger Shot nearby and get out of the car.
Then detonate the Remote Grenades. This will destroy all of the machines
but, even better, you avoid the additional guards that appear when they are
destroyed thus avoiding having to fight through them since you are already
out of the factory area.
After successfully destroying the machines then get back into your car and
drive back to the Casino to successfully complete the mission.

You need to go up to Arco del Oeste to get Paul and Maccer. You will need
to find a car with four doors for this mission. There is usually a car with
four doors along the street in front of the casino.
When you get to Arco del Oeste then you will get a cutscene showing Carl
with Paul and Maccer. Paul informs Carl about Rosie who has a casino gig in
Venturas. Go back to your car and get Paul and Maccer.
Now you need to go to the Snake Farm to try to find the rest of the band.
For some chuckles, don't stop the car when Paul wants you to and wait until
the talking is over before going into the red circle at the Snake Farm.
When you get there then you will confront the owner of the Snake Farm and
his kids. They are not too pleased about what happened the night before and
will attack you.
Go and kill them all. If you don't then the survivors will enter trucks and
will chase you back to Las Venturas where you will eventually get into
another fight with them at your destination.
Get back in the car and drive back to Caligula's Palace. Once you get there
then you will meet up with Ken Rosenberg, yes THAT Ken Rosenberg, the same
whiny lawyer from Vice City you had to do missions for as Tommy Vercetti.
Near the end of the cutscene Carl will call Woozie and tell him about being
able to scope Caligula's Palace without suspicion.
After the cutscene ends then the mission will be successfully completed.

In addition, you can now purchase Combat Shotguns at all Ammu-Nations.
Also, you will get a call from Paul and this will open up a dice icon at
Caligula's Palace but I will do that later. Plus, there are no Four Dragon
Casino missions for now so I will move on to.....

0=======================>
First off you will need a Camera. If you do not already have a Camera when
you start this mission then the game will prompt you to go to Pirates In
Men's Pants to find a group of tourists where you can get a Camera.
When you get to the tourists then find the one with the Camera and kill him
(run him over with your vehicle) then pick up the Camera. If you already
have a Camera in your inventory then you can skip this step.
Next, head over to the planning department building. Security is strict so
you have to play it cool. Switch to your Fist. When you get inside then
talk to the receptionist.
In previous versions of the guide I stated that you had to give a positive
then a negative, then a positive answer. But, thanks to Dienske, you only
need to give two positive answers to get her to open the door to the
stairwell.
When you get up to the yellow marker then you will be notified that you
need to distract the nearby guard. You have to go down to the Document
Depository to cause a distraction.
When you get there then you will be told to destroy the Air Con Units.
Destroy them with the Silenced Pistol.
This will create a fire that will get the people out of the building. After
this then go back upstairs and take a picture of the plans.
After that then you will need to get out but there will be Cops crawling
all around the stairwell. Kill the Cops as you get to them.
When you get outside then you will be hit with a 4-Star Wanted Rating. Get
into the car parked in front of you and drive straight to The Four Dragons
Casino to successfully complete the mission.

Head on over to Caligula's Palace. When you get to the red circle then you
will see the Croupier, who has a card and the code, leave.
You need to follow her but not too close. You will also get a Spook-O-Meter
to alert you when you get too close to your target.
After some driving around then she will stop at the Sex Shop. Go inside and
to the red circle.
You will see that the girl is planning a little get together with someone
named Benny. Afterwards she will leave.
Now go and get the Gimp Suit. After that then leave the store.
You have to follow the Croupier again. This time she will lead you to her
house in Prickle Pine. Park in the red circle across the street from her
house.
At this point you have to kill her gimp before he reaches the house. He
won't appear on the radar but he is still easy to find.
Go west along the street and you will find a bare chested redneck carrying
a purple Double-Ended Dildo. This is Benny and you have to kill him.
After killing Benny then go over to the Croupier's house and you will start
a lengthy cutscene. Afterwards you will successfully complete the mission.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
And you get to keep the Gimp Suit for your wardrobe.
Near the end of the mission, the game tells you that you need to wine and
dine the Croupier, Millie, in order to get the keycard. But that takes
time.
A faster, and nastier, method is to take her out into the desert and
kill her when you pick her up (I prefer to use the M4 when "dumping" her).
After killing her then you will get a phone call from Woozie asking you
where the keycard is at. After informing him that Millie's dead then he
suggests that you go to her home and break in to get her keycard.
Drive back to her house and go inside to get the keycard. After getting the
keycard then you will get another call from Woozie congratulating you on
your success.
However, according to rav0, you can still get the keycard fairly quickly
without killing Millie. Put on the gimp suit and go to her house at some
point in the afternoon.
You'll automatically go inside the house for some "kinky shit". No wining
or dining necessary.
You only need to do this twice, in consecutive afternoons, to get enough
Girlfriend progress to get the keycard from Millie.

Go over to the Airport and get in the plane, a Nevada, and fly to the drop
off point. It is best to go south and over Red County to help get altitude
to get to the corona.
When you finally get enough altitude and reach the corona then press Exit
Vehicle to jump. Glide on over to the red circle at the end of the Dam
Quay.
Normally you are supposed to lose your weapons when you land on the Dam
Quay. But, according to Eugene De Guzman, if you land spot-on inside the
red circle, then you will NOT lose your weapons.
If you lose your weapons then you will need to sneak into the dam. You have
to go and get the Knife nearby and kill the two nearby guards. After
disposing of the guards then enter the dam.
Now you have to rig all five generators with explosives. You have to sneak
around otherwise you will alert the premises. Worse, one of the guards has
a gun and all you have is just a Knife. He is one of two guards on the
lower level so sneak around and kill him so he won't do you any harm.
If you managed to keep your weapons then you will still need to get the
Knife so you can enter the dam. But you can use any weapon you like and
dispose of all guards inside and outside the dam.
After you have rigged all five generators, regardless of method, then head
for the exit. CJ is now trapped on the top of the dam and he must jump down
into the water to escape. After the cutscene ends then the mission is
successfully completed.

You have to get four motorcycles in twelve minutes and put them onto a
Packer traveling clockwise on the Julius Thruway.
One motorcycle is at the Las Venturas Hospital, one at the Las Venturas
Police Station, one at the VROCK Hotel and one near Linden Station.
I usually start with the one at the Hospital then the Police Station then
the Hotel and finally at Linden Station.
When you get to a bike then you find that there is usually a Cop nearby.
Take him down then get the bike.
When you take a bike then you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating. It
takes too much time to get rid of it plus you will get it every time you
take a bike so you will have to play through it.
When you get to the Packer then you have to go slowly up the ramp so they
can lock it into place. When you lock down a cycle then get off and get
another bike.
However, you are on the freeway so you need to get another car so you can
get another bike. Usually you can take a Cop car when they stop to try to
bust you.
When you finally get all four bikes then you will be dropped off in
Whitewood Estates and the mission will be successfully completed.

According to Carl Johnson the gates for K.A.C.C. Military Fuels will also
open for the Rhino.
And I got another useful tip from Sarah Jane Marley.
And Krispykreme2546 had this interesting find for those who do the
Girlfriend thing:
"In the mission H$T5. "Up, Up And Away!" (The Heist) there is a glitch
that i found when i was playing you need to have katie zahn as a
girlfriend. while in the mission you need to take control of the
emplaced Mini-Gun and then die. this glitch will give you the mini gun
with infinite ammo, there wont even be a number displayed showing the
ammo count, so long as you don't use the codes for the weapons you will
be fine."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
In order to get an armored car you need to get a Sky Crane which is a
special helicopter with a magnet on board. It is located at K.A.C.C.
Military Fuels in northeast Las Venturas. However, you need a military
vehicle to enter the place.
There are a couple of ways about this.
>>The Regular Way
***************
The first way involves the use of a regular vehicle. Even though the
gate will only open for a military vehicle you won't need one.
When the mission starts then get a car or motorcycle and head toward
K.A.C.C. Military Fuels. Just before you get to the gate then you will
see a Patriot on the other side getting into position to leave the
facility.
This Patriot will cause the gate to open when you are close enough to
trigger the Patriot to move.
When the gate opens completely then quickly drive through the gap
between the guard shack and the Patriot running over the guard in the
process. Then turn left and head for the gap between the large building
and the crates.
You will hear shooting coming from inside the large building. There are
a lot of soldiers within the large building but I am going to take a
shortcut around them.
There is a gap between the building and the fence. Go east until you
reach the crates. Unless you have a motorcycle your car won't fit
between the crates and the fence so exit your vehicle and continue east
on foot.
When you reach the east fence then turn south. You will see two large
groups of container crates. Go to the southmost one and climb onto the
yellow crate.
Then climb onto the red crate to your right. Next, stand on the yellow
crate. Switch to your Sniper Rifle and look west.
Zoom in all the way and angle right until you see a set of stairs. You
can see two soldiers, one halfway up the stairs and another kneeling on
the ground. Snipe them both.
You may also see three additional soldiers running around down there.
If you can snipe them, good. But, if you can't, then you can get them
later.
Next, angle slightly upward and go left until you see a set of stairs
leading up to a higher level of the roof. There is another soldier
standing next to the stairs. Snipe him.
Next, angle upward and to the left until you see the helicopter. You
can see one soldier standing to the right of the helicopter and you can
barely see another soldier at the top of the stairs. Snipe them both.
Get back down to ground level and head southeast toward the inner
fence. When you get to the fence then go south along the fence and
around the corner. Go west and you will see container crates.
Climb the blue crate then the yellow crate. Now you can jump inside the
inner fence. Once inside then switch to your M4 and go east and around
the corner.
You will encounter the three roaming soldiers I referred to earlier.
But for some reason they are not very aggressive so they are easy
pickings with your M4.
Kill those three soldiers then proceed upward on the stairs until you
are prompted that you have to deal with two Gunships.
Switch to your Heat-Seeking RPGs. Target and destroy both Gunships.
Each will require two rockets to destroy. Thanks to Sarah Jane Marley
for that tip.
>>The Jetpack
***********
The second way to this point is by using the Jetpack. Go to Verdant
Meadows Aircraft Graveyard and pick up a Jetpack.
Head east toward K.A.C.C. Military Fuels. When you get there then land
on the first large round fuel tank at the south edge of the facility.
Disengage from the Jetpack, switch to your Sniper Rifle and look north.
On the roof near the tops of the trees is a soldier standing near a
Mini-Gun. Snipe him and look toward the helicopter. There is a soldier
standing to the left. Snipe him then get your Jetpack.
Fly over to the third large round fuel tank and take off your Jetpack.
Look toward the helicopter.
To the right is another soldier. Snipe him then look down and toward
the right. You will see a set of stairs leading down to another level
of the roof.
You will see a soldier standing there. Snipe him then get back on your
Jetpack. Fly down to where the Sky Crane is and you will see a message
saying that you have to deal with Gunships.
Disengage your Jetpack and switch to your Heat-Seeking RPGs. Target and
destroy both Gunships. Each will require two rockets to destroy.
Regardless of method, after destroying the attack helicopters, then enter
the Sky Crane and go get the Bank Van parked at Rockshore East. You have to
carefully hover over the Bank Van so you can grab it with the magnet.
After you have acquired the Bank Van then fly over to Verdant Meadows
Aircraft Graveyard. You have to be careful while flying. The van keeps you

When you get there then carefully place the Bank Van in the red circle then

Caligula's Palace is the mob controlled Casino on The Strip. It is currently
being "managed" by Ken Rosenberg.
This ex-lawyer from Vice City has been "appointed" to run the Casino on
behalf of the Liberty City Mafia. He is even more whiny and paranoid than he
was back when he was working with Tommy Vercetti.
One of his only friends right now is Kent Paul (also from Vice City). He is
currently the manager of a band known as The Gurning Chimps.
He has to constantly keep his eye on Maccer, the lead singer for The Gurning
Chimps, who has a problem about "touching himself" constantly and an
obsession for big breasts.

Get a car and head over to the hospital. When you get there then you will
see a Patriot in the parking lot.
If you still haven't acquired a Patriot for the Import / Export List for
San Fierro then go ahead and store the Patriot in a nearby garage (the game
designers wanted you to use the Patriot for this mission).
If you do not wish to use the Patriot and want to store it then you should
try to find a large truck or semi. Regardless of vehicle, park in the red
circle.
It turns out that Johnny was picked up already. The Forellis beat you to
him and now you need to find Johnny.
There are three Ambulances roaming around the city. You have to ram an
Ambulance to see if that is the one with Johnny.
If the first Ambulance does not contain Johnny then a distress call will
come from the Ambulance you just hit and will warn the Mafia.
When you finally find the right Ambulance then you will need to chase and
damage the Ambulance a bit to get them to bail and face you. When they exit
the Ambulance then kill both gunmen and then take the Ambulance.
You are now prompted to take Johnny to the Meat Factory in Whitewood
Estates. You may also need to deal with Forelli backup but they are not
hard to avoid.
Just keep driving until you reach your destination. Park the Ambulance in
the red circle to successfully complete the mission.

Get a car and head over to the Abattoir. When CJ comes in then Ken begs him
to come with him to Johnny (CJ is reluctant because of earlier events).
But, when Johnny sees CJ, then he drops dead of a heart attack and all hell
breaks loose. Now both CJ and Ken need to fight their way out. You also
need to keep Ken alive.
Use the M4 and kill the approaching gunmen. Ken will then grab a Fire
Extinguisher to put out the flames out ahead of you. If you go into the
room where Ken got the extinguisher then you will find a Health Icon and a
Fire Extinguisher.
Go up to where the flames are and shoot any gunmen you see across from you.
When the fire is out then proceed forward.
When you enter into the next room then you will find a freezer to your
right (which also contains a Body Armor Icon). Ken will hide in the freezer
and you can shut the door on him but his health will diminish while in the
freezer. However, the Mafia can close the door on him too so kill all of
the goons before they can close it.
Using the M4 will make it easy for you to quickly clear a path through both
main rooms and the maze that leads outside. Once outside then drive Ken
back to Caligula's Palace to successfully complete the mission.

Go on over to the Airport and grab the plane, a Dodo, from the hangar.
Next, you have to fly the plane north and intercept the assassins. The best
approach is to get up higher than the target jet.
When you get to the other plane then turn around and fly into the corona
behind it while diving slightly, from your higher position, to gain speed.
If you are below the target plane during your approach then you may not be
able to get to the corona.
When you get to the corona then this will trigger a cutscene of Carl
jumping from his plane to the other plane.
Once inside then you are given a plain Pistol and you have to kill all four
assassins. This part is pretty easy. They will pop up from behind their
seats and you can kill them quickly when they try to attack you.
After that then you will need to deal with the pilot. Kill him and take
control of the plane.
Fly the plane and land it at the Airport to successfully complete the
mission.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Your target is at Aldea Malvada. If you are spotted then the target will
enter a nearby helicopter and fly off. If you kill the target then he will
drop the dossier.
But, if you don't pick it up, then one of the nearby FBI agents will get it
and will try to enter the helicopter and fly off. You would need to use the
other helicopter nearby to chase him.
However, there are five different ways to approach this mission to get the
dossier and prevent the helicopter chase:
>>Approach 1
**********
When on the ground then drive over to Aldea Malvada. Go partway up the
dirt road then stop and get out.
Go up the hillside and head north along the edge so you aren't seen.
When you see the target then charge him, target him with your SMG and
kill him.
Then get the dossier to complete the mission (and run away from the
nearby FBI agents to keep from getting shot up).
>>Approach 2
**********
If you have access to a Jetpack then get some Micro SMG ammo. Fly over
to Aldea Malvada and approach from the north.
Lock onto your target and kill him then target the other FBI agents and
kill them before any of them can get the dossier. Then land, disengage
the Jetpack and grab the dossier to complete the mission.
>>Approach 3
**********
Go get the Sea Sparrow that is north of the Verdant Meadows Aircraft
Graveyard. Fly to Aldea Malvada and approach from the north.
When you are close to the target then fire the Machine Gun and hold
your position so you can kill any agents that try to get the dossier.
When all is clear then land the Sea Sparrow and get out to get the
dossier to successfully complete the mission.
>>Approach 4
**********
This one is similar to Approach 3 except you use the Hunter. Fly over
to Aldea Malvada and approach from the north. Use the Rockets to
quickly clear the area and land to get the dossier to complete the
mission.
>>Approach 5
**********
Joshua Frech suggested using the Rhino for this one. Get up close to
the choppers and shoot at them.
You may find that the helicopters are indestructible but the splash
damage from shooting at them will kill the agent with the dossier and
anybody that tries to get it.
In addition, keep moving. As you shoot at the helicopters then FBI
agents may try to get you out of the tank. Stay in the tank until you
kill all agents then leave to get the dossier.
After you get the dossier then the mission is successfully completed.

After meeting up with Tenpenny in El Castillo Del Diablo then CJ gives the
dossier to Tenpenny. Then Tenpenny ambushes Officer Hernandez with a
Shovel. It turns out that Hernandez was snitching on Tenpenny and Pulaski.
Tenpenny then departs leaving Pulaski to force CJ to dig a grave big enough
for two. But, after digging the grave, then Officer Hernandez gets up and
tries to attack Pulaski.
The attack results in Hernandez's death but forces Pulaski to run and now
CJ has to chase him.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you start the mission then Pulaski will get into a white Buffalo and
you are given the use of a Bandito. Pulaski's car is very tough so it is
difficult to destroy.
Use P.I.T. Maneuvers to spin him out and drive-by him to damage his car
while he is trying to straighten out. You will have to do this a few times
before you can destroy his car.
When you get his car to flame then Pulaski will exit and you now have to
kill him on foot. Be careful, he is armed with a Desert Eagle and he is
pretty good with it. However, if you are far enough away from him, then you
can either use the Sniper Rifle or M4 to nail him before he can do any
damage.
But, if you've earned the Hunter, then this mission becomes much easier.
Take a Hunter and fly to where you pick up the mission. Park it between the
windmill and the town. If you try to park it near the town's graveyard then
the Hunter will disappear.
When you start the mission then get in the Bandito and zip on over to the
parked Hunter to switch vehicles. You can use both the Machine Gun and
Rockets to quickly destroy Pulaski's car and Pulaski himself when he exits
it.
Another method, as posted by powerslaves on the GameFAQs Message Boards, is
to run to Pulaski's car and jump on top of it. Then crouch down and make
adjustments as he drives off with you on top.
He will smack into the road sign as you get up onto the road. When he does
that then you can jack him and take his car.
However, the best way to do this is to fall off of the car just as you get
onto the road and run to the road sign just as he hits it. This way you can
get to his car before he can back away and drive forward again.
Then you can either get far enough away from him, exit and use your Sniper
Rifle. Or, better yet, just run his sorry ass over with his own car.
Then there is this method by Tom Vanpool. Get a PCJ-600 and park it between
the windmill and the town. When you start the mission then run to the
PCJ-600 and chase Pulaski. Forward drive-by him until his car flames and he
jumps out then forward drive-by Pulaski himself until he drops.
Another method that was given to me by Guillermo Caceres involves the use
of either a Sniper Rifle or the M4:
"Instead of getting a special vehicle or jumping on top of Pulaski's
car, I found it was easier to simply pop the tires of his car while he
was running towards it. With the M4 or the sniper rifle, I was capable
of poppin' at least three of his tires before he started getting away,
which needless to say, neglects any chances he has of getting too far
since he'll constantly spin out of control. After that, it's business
as usual."
Then there is the method used by Joshua Frech. He used a Rhino instead of
the Hunter. Makes it easy to destroy Pulaski's car by ramming it. However,
you may have to use the Tank Boost Trick to catch up to him so you can
destroy your intended target.
Regardless of method, when you finally nail Pulaski, then you will start a
cutscene on the ground with Pulaski where CJ finally kills him off to
successfully complete the mission.

| Reward \
0=======================>
Nothing.
In addition, strangely enough, you will also gain the use of Pulaski's
vehicle even if you destroyed it in the chase. This ends all of the
missions for C.R.A.S.H.
You will also get a phone call from Ken which re-opens Caligula's Palace so

Go on over to the Airport, get into the Shamal and fly to the blip in the
northeast corner of San Andreas to get to Liberty City. When you get to
Liberty City then you will be placed inside St. Mark's Bistro where you
begin the second part of this mission.
Now you have to kill everybody within the Bistro. I found that the M4 is a
very effective weapon for this mission even though you are given a Pistol
for this mission (which replaces whatever other handgun you had).
Clear out the group in front of you and those that come up the stairs. When
you get to the top of the stairs then nail those you can see below you. Be
careful when you get to the bottom of the stairs. One of the goons behind
the bar has a Shotgun and can quickly deplete your armor.
When you get rid of the goons behind the bar then proceed through the
kitchen, killing anybody that gets in your way and go outside. Kill
everybody outside and you will have completed your task.
From here, you will be flying back to Las Venturas. Then gently land the
plane at the Airport to successfully complete the mission.

This will end the missions for Caligula's Palace. In addition, Didier

You will also get three phone calls.
The first call is from Sweet who is in despair sitting in prison. He has
pretty much given up on getting out regardless of what CJ says about the
situation.
The second call is from Salvatore Leone. He is happy about your work at
Liberty City and wants to keep some distance between the two of then for
awhile so things can cool down.
The last call is from Woozie who wants to know if they are still going to
do the heist on Caligula's Palace. CJ informs him that Ken and his friends
are gone and that he is cool with Salvatore so they can go and do the job.
This, of course, leads to.....

When you start the mission then you will notice you now have Tear Gas
Grenades. Get a nearby car and go over to Caligula's Palace. Walk in but do
not cause trouble or you will blow your cover.
Once inside then you have four minutes to get the team inside. Go over to
the Swipecard Door.
After you get through the door then go downstairs and to the Backup
Generator room. When you get to the Backup Generator room then toss one of
the Tear Gas Grenades into the air duct. This will knock out the guards
below.
Now go to the second Swipecard Door and use Millie's card to go through it.
As you get to the door then Zero will cut off the power to the city of Las
Venturas. Now everything is dark but you have the Night Vision Goggles.
Activate them and proceed through the Swipecard Door.
Go over to the Service Bay and hang a right so you can get the Forklift.
Drive the Forklift over to the now unlocked bay door so you can raise it.
Carefully drive the Forklift so the lift goes under the door then push up
on the Right Analog Stick to raise the door.
Once the team is inside then you have seven minutes to get the money and
get out. However, there are security present and you have to clear a path
to the Safe.
The M4 allows you to deal with these guys quickly. After getting rid of
security then lead the crew to the Safe. When you get to the Safe then CJ
is notified that someone is trying to hack into the backup generators. CJ
now needs to destroy the backup generators before they are activated.
Pick up the Remote Explosives and head up to the Backup Generator room.
There will be a couple of security guys waiting so you need to deal with
them before proceeding. Once inside then place the charge and exit the room
then detonate them to destroy the generators. Now head back down to the
team.
When the Safe is opened then enter it. You will then be warned about some
Mafia goons coming down to the Safe. Step outside the Safe and kill all of
the Mafia goons. Next, lead the team back to the Service Bay killing all of
the security you come across.
After safely leading the team back to the Armored Van then you need to go
and use the Service Elevator. After all, you are the decoy for this
mission.
As you head to the elevator then the lights will come back on. Go to the
elevator and kill all of the Mafia goons you come across. When you get off
the elevator then head to the roof and kill the two gunmen along the way.
When you get to the roof then you need to go across and get the Parachute.
When you get to the Parachute then you need to jump off and float to the
helicopter at The Clown's Pocket so you can escape.
To do that, run off the edge of the building and move the Left Analog Stick
forward - do NOT jump. CJ will quickly glide over to the helicopter. When
you land then switch to a weapon and kill the two SWAT guys then get in the
helicopter and fly back to Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard.
If you can't glide to the helicopter then just go down to street level,
jack a car and drive over to Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard to
successfully complete the mission.

After killing all of the Vagos on the rooftop then lead the Triads down to
the entrance but do NOT go in yourself. Jump the wall and do your thing.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When the mission starts then you are jump out of the plane and start an
assault on Madd Dogg's Crib.
Land on the mansion's helipad and switch to your M4. You need to keep the
roof clear of goons while the rest of the Triad arrive. There is also a
Body Armor Icon nearby if you need to use it
When the rest of the Triad's arrive then head down and to the western
entrance of the mansion to enter it.
When you get inside then use the M4 to clear a path to the lower level and
start the chase with Big Poppa. As you chase Big Poppa then kill any gunman
that gets in your way.
Eventually, he will get outside. Now the chase continues in vehicles.
Grab the nearby Windsor and chase him. He is not being very aggressive in
running from you.
Once on the main road then just pull up alongside him, drive-by him to get
his car to flame and stop. He will continue driving along and when his car
blows up the mission will end successfully and you will have retaken Madd
Dogg's Crib.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
Respect Gained.
You will now have permanent access to Madd Dogg's Crib. You can play arcade
games and use the gym and basketball court inside the mansion.
In addition, you will also gain the following Icons:
>>Thermal Goggles (inside the barroom on first floor by the large TV).
>>Night Vision Goggles (first floor by the kitchen entrance after
completion of the mission "Breaking The Bank At Caligula's" (The
Heist)). You can do "A Home In The Hills" before doing the mission
"Breaking The Bank At Caligula's" if you want to. But the goggles won't
appear until after you do the last Heist mission.
>>Body Armor (in one of the upper bedrooms).
>>Health (in the kitchen on the lower level).
This will end the missions for The Four Dragons Casino. You will also get a
phone call from Ken which opens up the next mission but first.....

When CJ was forced from Los Santos at the end of "The Green Sabre" (Sweet
Johnson), he was nothing but a gangbanger trying to put things back together.
But now he arrives back at Los Santos a businessman and property owner. He
has also aligned himself with the Triads and pulled off a heist of a major
mob casino.
He has changed a lot but the city of Los Santos remains the same. He also
needs to get Sweet out of jail and fix things down here.
There's still a lot of work to do.....

Mike Toreno makes a reappearance and needs CJ's help once again.....

Rifle (optional).

Get some Heat-Seeking RPGs from either the Easter Bay Airport or the ruins
at Aldea Malvada (optional).

| Notes \
0=======================>
I received a letter from Stuart Thomson on how he completed this mission:
"After taking off from aircraft, head over to other side of bridge and
land the plane,(or anywhere else u want to land) jump out and run to
the damn and take the sea helicopter. Using this travel to all the
points marked and you can shoot these boats using your M4 (even from
high up on cliffs). Travel back to plane in helicopter , enter your
plane and fly to your airstrip."
I also got a new idea from Siddharth Sharma.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When the mission starts then you will be at The Panopticon and need to get
into a boat which has a Silenced Pistol and a Knife. You need to take the
boat and go over to the Aircraft Carrier at Easter Bay Naval Station.
Your mission requires that you steal a jet off the carrier and use it to
destroy some spy ships.
When you get near the carrier then you need to jump out and swim through
the open door in the back. Once inside then you are prompted to disable the
SAMs in the Control Room to help you out.
Switch to your Silenced Pistol. While on the ramp then look at the two
people talking ahead of you.
When they break up then kill the soldier. The mechanic will then try to get
to the alarm. Run up and nail him before he can use it. This will keep
things quiet. If you go behind the crates on the east end then you will
find some Tear Gas.
If, at any time, you are detected and the alarm is sounded then switch to
your M4 to take down all of the soldiers.
Go up to the next level and kill everybody before going into the Control
Room. Then go into the Control Room to turn off the SAMs.
From there, go up to the deck and kill the last remaining soldier on the
Carrier. After that then go down to where the jets are kept.
There are three jets on this deck. There is one at the end, one on a
platform on the right and one to the left of the platform.
Put Remote Grenades on the jet on the platform and the one to the left of
it. Detonate them both. This will destroy the two jets.
Get into the jet on the end and take off.
When you have the jet in the air then retract the landing gear and push up
on the Right Analog Stick to allow you to fly forward. But you will now be
chased by other fighter jets that you need to destroy.
If you did not destroy the two jets on the carrier then you will be chased
by three jets. By destroying the two jets on the carrier then you will only
have to deal with one jet.
According to Siddharth Sharma, the best way to destroy the jets is to land
yours, get out and use the Heat Seeking RPG on them. I found this to be
very effective and better than what I was doing before.
After destroying all the jets, be it one or three, then get back inside
your jet and make your way to the spy ships.
When you get near the spy ships, don't try to destroy them. Instead fly to
the clearing just northeast of the bridge. Lower your landing gear and pull
back on the Right Analog Stick to enter hover mode then land in the
clearing.
Switch to your Heat-Seeking RPGs or Sniper Rifle and destroy the spy ships
from land (it takes about four to five shots from the Sniper Rifle to blow
up a spy ship).
After you destroy the spy ships then re-enter the Hydra and fly to the
Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard (you can leave the landing gear down).
When you get to the Aircraft Graveyard then re-enter hover mode and land in
the red circle. Then push up on the Right Analog Stick (so you can enter
Jet Mode to help move the plane forward) and drive the Hydra into the
nearby hangar to successfully complete the mission.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$50,000.
You will also now have use of the Hydra at your Verdant Meadows Aircraft
Graveyard Safehouse.
In addition, the following Weapon Icons will now spawn within the Tierra
Robada [South] Safehouse:
>>RPG
>>Heat-Seeking RPG
>>Flamethrower
>>Mini-Gun

Mike Toreno once again needs CJ to do one more little task for him before
he leaves his life forever. CJ is still rather upset over the last mission
and pulls a gun on Mike.
But Mike is unfazed and tells CJ to pick up the phone that he has just put
down on the control deck. It's Sweet on the other end. He has just been
released from jail but doesn't know why. And Mike's little task?
"I just want you to go pick up your brother".....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get one of the nearby cars and drive over to the red circle across from the
Los Santos Police Department in Commerce.
When you get there then a cutscene will start between CJ and Sweet. CJ is
all happy about the things he has done in San Fierro and Las Venturas.
But Sweet is not happy. For him it is all about the hood and is very upset
that CJ has not done anything about the hood while he sat in jail. He just
wants to go back to Grove Street.
CJ counters by saying that there is nothing back there now. However, that
means little to Sweet. He just wants to go home.
Drive Sweet back to Grove Street. When you get into the red circle then you
will start another cutscene. A crack addict comes up to them trying to sell
them a blender.
But Sweet chases him off and informs CJ that the blender belonged to their
mother. It's now time to clean up Grove Street.
The first thing you have to do is kill all of the Crack Dealers on the
street. There are six of them and they aren't hard to deal with. After
killing all of the Crack Dealers then you will have to take back the hood.
This part of the mission plays out similar to "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson).
Find some Ballas to shoot at and kill at least three of them to start a
gang war.
Then you have to fight off three waves of Ballas to reclaim your
neighborhood. Each wave has more Ballas with better weapons. During the war
Body Armor and Health Icons will spawn randomly throughout the contested
area.
But, before doing anything, then you need to find a way to protect Sweet.
Go into your garage and get Sweet to follow you. Once you get him inside
then quickly run out of the garage before Sweet can follow you.
When the door closes then this will trap Sweet in the garage. He will be
safe here.
If there are any Ballas nearby when you start this part of the mission then
you can do the gang war before going after the Crack Dealers.
When you start the gang war then go up near Sweet's house. This will insure
that the Ballas come in only one direction. The M4 makes this mission easy
because you can kill the Ballas before they can get close enough to you to
do any damage.
When you kill off all three waves then you will reclaim Grove Street. When
you finish killing off the Crack Dealers and reclaiming the hood,
regardless of order, then you will successfully complete the mission.

0=======================>

You can now start regaining territory which leads me to.....

| E.1. Territory Acquisition [TRAQ] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
After completion of the mission "Home Coming", you can now start taking over
territories again to increase the presence of the Grove Street Families.
In doing so you can also increase or even max out your Respect. You will also
gain a Money Icon in front of CJ's house that will increase maximum revenue
with every territory you take over.
You will need to get at least 35% of gang territories before you are allowed
to do the last mission of the game, "End of the Line" (Sweet Johnson).
I recommend that you wait until after completion of the mission "Grove 4
Life" (Sweet Johnson) and before the mission "Riot" (Carl Johnson) prior to
doing any takeovers.
This will reduce the number of territories you need to take over outside of
missions and you won't have to retake certain territories during them. Also
it is easier to take over territories when you don't have to deal with
rioters.
When you look at your in-game map then you will see that some of Los Santos
is colored purple and yellow. The areas colored in yellow are Vago controlled
territories and the areas colored in purple are Ballas territories.
To take over a territory go into a territory you want to take over and find
some rival gangs to shoot at. Kill three rival gang members to start a gang
war.
You will then deal with three waves of attackers just like in "Home Coming"
(Carl Johnson). Body Armor and Health Icons will randomly appear in the
contested area if you need them. When you successfully wipe out all three
waves then you will gain the territory.
On occasion, there will be a car that will try to drive-by you but they are
not much of a problem. But you can jack the car to deal with its occupants
and even use it as a shield from the other attackers.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| E.1.A. Weapon of Choice \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The best weapon to use for territory acquisition is the M4. Although most of
the gang members will drop AK-47s, and you can get free ammo, using the AK-47
makes doing takeovers a little harder because, when the gang members get
within range of your AK-47, then you will be in range of theirs and you can
get shot up a bit.
The M4 has greater range and a larger magazine. You can cap an entire wave
without them even being able to shoot at you (if they all come at you from
one direction). When I do takeovers then I go to the Ammu-Nation and get
roughly 7,500 rounds for my M4 before starting.
However, one of my readers, Stephen Hentchel, prefers to use the Sniper Rifle
since it has the best range of all of the weapons. Then he gets the
gangbangers to form one line and picks them off as they approach and long
before they get in range to do any damage.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| E.1.B. Tips and Strategies \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
One nice little trick I use is when I shoot at a wave I target the first
gangster and hold down the Attack button. When he dies then I quickly let go
of the Target button and quickly press it again.
This time I target the guy either next or behind my last victim. I then kill
him and repeat the process. If you do this fast enough then you go through
waves with ease.
Reader Rebecca Kyte also recommends using the L2 and R2 buttons on the PS2
version to quickly cycle through the targets as you shoot at them.
Another tip is go one one side of the territory and get the gang members to
come at you from only one direction. I also found out that gang members will
usually spawn behind you.
So, to get the gang members to come at you from one direction or down a
narrow street or alley, then turn around so your back is to where you want
them to spawn. This will give you an advantage by controlling where you want
them to be and allow you to to take down all of the approaching gang members
quickly, especially with the power and range of the M4.
However, especially in the Vagos controlled territories, the gang members
sometimes run away from you and out of the contested territory. You can go
after them but the problem is that, if you stay out of the contested
territory for too long, then you will lose the battle.
Naturally you would want to chase them when they run away. But I found that
if I just stand in the contested territory and do nothing then the gang
members will turn around and come back. Then I cap them when they get within
range.
But this strategy isn't without its flaws. Sometimes, when they head back in
your direction, then they may get stuck under a bridge or behind a building.
In this case, get as close as you can to the stuck gang members while still
in the contested territory. Then switch to a Sub-Machine gun and make a run
to where they are at and cap at least one of them then run back to the
contested territory. If this doesn't end the wave then repeat until it does.
In addition, reader Siddharth Sharma, had this idea to add:
"During territory acquisitions ,since you can control where the gang
members will spawn by turning you back , it is a good idea to lay
remote explosive across the street and just wait for them to cross it
.When they get near it , blow them all .This saves a lot of time and
ammo. Another thing is if you can find a narrow lane or an alley ,just
plant the explosives at its entrance.This makes it even easier as they
collect at entrance and you can blow the whole wave at once."
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| E.1.C. Small Territories \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Most territories are easy to get but there are three very small areas that
are a bit harder to go after and should be acquired before taking over any
others:
>>Jefferson Motel parking lot (Ballas). Find some rival gang members and
lure them to the parking lot to cap them so you can start the gang war
there.
<0++++++++++++++++++++++X##***##X++++++++++++++++++++++0>
>>Road bridge at the north end of the flood control channel in south Los
Flores northeast of CJ's house (Vagos).
You're not going to find a lot of gang members roaming around here but
you can cap gang members who are driving in their Hermes. When one drives
up then step in front of him (at the stop light).
Use your Silenced Pistol and shoot him while he is in the car. Usually
there are more Hermes vehicles backed up behind this one so you can get
enough gang members to shoot at to start the gang war here.
<0++++++++++++++++++++++X##***##X++++++++++++++++++++++0>
>>The sidewalk in front of the East Mulholland 24-7 (Ballas). Lure some of
the Ballas in the nearby territory onto the sidewalk so you can start the
gang war there.
After acquiring these three territories then the rest is easy.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| E.1.D. Defending Territories \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Now that you can acquire territories again you will also have to deal with
occasional attacks from rival gangs once more. As mentioned before, use a
vehicle that you can do missions in then activate and deactivate the mission
when an attack occurs to quickly defend the territory.

Get inside the BF Injection and drive over to the video shoot which is in
Flint County just behind RS Haul. When you get there then you will start a
chase with OG Loc.
He runs off in a Vortex which is a hovercraft and you need to chase him in
one. The craft is a little hard to control but not too bad. You can't catch
up to him to drive-by him but you are not supposed to, just chase him.
When you get past the last bridge and come upon the group of boats then go
to the right of them. This will allow you to get a better angle for the
ramp you need to jump to continue the chase. But you can just go around
the end of the Lighthouse pier if you don't want to take the jump.
The chase will continue under the Santa Maria Pier and then OG Loc will go
up on the beach and head for the Verona Beach Pier. However, you can just
stay on the water and go under the pier before going up on the beach and
onto the pier itself.
After you get to the end of the pier then OG Loc changes vehicles and now
you have to chase him in a Kart. Keep a little distance from him since he
will be taking some sharp corners to try to throw you off.
The chase will lead you through the Santa Maria Pier, Rodeo and ends at
Vinewood. Once you see OG Log dart into a building then the mission will
end successfully and you can watch the cutscene of CJ and Madd Dogg
confronting OG Loc.

Go into Idlewood to reclaim some territories. If you already took over

territories in Idlewood, you only need to take two for this mission.
Best thing to do is to go into your garage and lure Sweet there. Then
quickly leave the garage and let the door close before Sweet can get out.
This will protect him. I've had mission failures here because he would get
his stupid ass run over by cars between acquisitions.
Go into one territory and find some Ballas so you can start a gang war. Go
through all three waves to take a territory.
After taking over the first territory then go to another territory to start
a another gang war. After taking back the second territory then head back
to Grove Street (and get Sweet out of the garage) to successfully complete

However, if you want to do so, then you can take all four territories
before heading back to Grove Street.

When the mission starts then you cannot get Wanted Ratings. It should be

nearby garage before you can join in on the rioting fun.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
First thing you need to do is recruit two homies to help you. Target a
homie and press up on the D-Pad to recruit. After you get two homies then
enter into the car you have saved in your garage (or Sweet's Greenwood if
it is available) and drive to Unity Station to meet up with some friends of
Cesar.
If you drive through any Ballas territory (if you haven't acquired all of
the territories) then one of your homies might jump out of the car and you
will have to go back to Grove Street and get another homie. You can't go to
Unity Station unless you have two homies in your car.
When you get to Unity Station then you need to remove the Vagos from the
nearby apartment complex. Use the M4 to quickly clear the area so you can
move to the next area.
The next area is in an alleyway not far from Cesar's house. Wipe out all of
the Vagos, including those coming in from behind, to move to the final
area.
The last group of Vagos are standing right in front of Cesar's house. The
guy on top has a RPG and another one on ground level has a Flamethrower.
But you can still make quick work out of all of them with your M4 to
successfully complete the mission. If you have a RPG of your own then you
can use it here to take down some of them, especially the one on the roof.

At this point you get a call from Sweet telling CJ that they need to find
where Big Smoke is hiding. But, as long as they don't rule the streets,
then they won't be able to find him. You need to take over territories to
gain influence.
However, you should have already acquired at least 35% of all territories
or more prior to doing "Riot" (Carl Johnson).
Shortly after that phone call then you will then get a call from Sweet
telling CJ where Big Smoke is hiding and thus unlocks the final mission of
the game.....

| Overview \
0=======================>
It's now time for the Johnson boys to put an end to Big Smoke's
operation.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
M4 (1,000+ rounds), Flamethrower (optional (500-700 units)), Molotovs
(optional (50 units)), Sniper Rifle, Mini-Gun (optional).
0==========0
| Prep Work \
0=======================>
I highly recommend that you do the Firetruck Mission, before doing
this one, to earn the Fireproof Feature. It will really help you here
especially when using the Molotovs and the Flamethrower. You should also
have Hitman Weapon Skill Level on the M4.
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
None.
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| No Wanted Rating Exploit \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
Although the Wanted Ratings are disabled when you start the mission, the
best time to take advantage of this exploit is when you park the car with
Sweet in it so you can enter Big Smoke's Crack Palace (it will make the car
indestructible so Sweet won't be killed as you acquire a SWAT Van).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Because of the large size of this mission then I will split this into two
parts. I should also note that if you fail during the second part of this
mission then, when you return to Sweet's house to do it again, you restart
from the start of Part Two instead of redoing the whole mission from the
beginning.
/XXXXXXXX\

| Part One |
0==========0
\XXXXXXXX/
For this part there will be two different strategies. One without the
Fireproof Feature (using the M4) and one with the Fireproof Feature (using
the M4, Flamethrower and Molotovs).
Drive over to Big Smoke's hideout in East Los Santos. Even though you will
be shot at by gunmen as you proceed to the hideout your car is
indestructible so you will be okay.
When you get there then CJ tells Sweet he wants to do this alone to make up
for all the times he was a buster and abandoned the family.
When you exit the car then you need to find a way to break into the
building. The game suggests a nearby SWAT Tank that you can use.
As you climb the fences and get near the Tank then you will see the SWAT
and some Ballas engaged in a shootout. Go to the intersection north of the
shootout and use your Sniper Rifle to take down all of the Ballas and SWAT
guys before getting the Tank.
The SWAT Tank is a pretty nifty vehicle and is almost indestructible. The
only way to destroy it is with explosions and by dumping it into water. Not
even the Rhino can dent it otherwise.
The problem here is that you can't save the vehicle. Even if you put it
into a garage it will disappear at the end of the mission.
If you want the SWAT Tank then you will have to fail the mission and save
the vehicle. There are two ways to get the Tank.
The first way is to blow up the Tank. You will need some Remote Explosives
to destroy the Tank.
First, you need to go to a garage and put the Tank inside in such a way as
the door doesn't close. Get out and put on about three Remote Explosives
then detonate.
The Tank should explode and you will fail the mission. Push the carcass of
the Tank inside the garage so you can close it.
When the door opens then you will have the SWAT Tank. However, it is
possible for the Tank to disappear while pushing it in.
The second way to fail the mission is to dump the SWAT Tank in the water.
Glen Winstein suggested the shallow water at the southwest part of the
Airport. But it is difficult to get the Tank out of the water.
The best way is to go to San Fierro and to the Import / Export crane. Get
in the crane and grab the Tank with the magnet.
Then move the crane as close to the water as possible. Swing the crane so
that the Tank is over the water.
Then dunk the Tank into the water until you see the "Mission Failed"
message. Bring the Tank back onto dry land and take the magnet off. Then
get out of the crane and into the SWAT Tank so you can save it at any
garage.
Okay, enough of that. Let's get back to the mission at hand.....
After you have the SWAT Tank then drive over to the hideout and smash
through the wall. Run over all the Ballas you see. Once that's done then
get out of the SWAT Tank and go through the door to enter the next stage of
the mission.
In order to reach Big Smoke you need to go through three floors of the
building starting with.....
0========================0
| Floor 1: Security Area |
0========================0
>>Without the Fireproof Feature
*****************************
Switch to your M4 and proceed upwards. Carefully go through the hall
and take down all four gunmen you come across. Eventually you will come
to some Body Armor and a set of double doors.
Beyond the doors is a large room with several pillars and plenty of
enemies. Poke through the left side and use the left door as a shield
as you take care of several enemies.
Then head to the first pillar on the right and kill the Balla that
tries to get to it. While using that as cover then kill more of the
enemies including those in a room above at the east end and a couple on
the walkway above on the north.
During this shootout, a SWAT Tank will burst through. Kill the SWAT
guys that come out.
When you get to the other side of the room then another set of doors
will open and a Balla will come out. Kill him then go through the door.
As you turn left then you will be ambushed by three enemies using
crates as cover. Get rid of them then proceed through the room and to
the next set of stairs.
At the top is another Balla waiting for you. Kill him. If you go right
then you can enter the upper room and find a Combat Shotgun and a
Health Icon.
Then go through the double doors and proceed to the next floor.
>>With the Fireproof Feature
**************************
Switch to your M4 and proceed upwards. Carefully go through the hall
and take down all four gunmen you come across. Eventually you will come
to some Body Armor and a set of double doors.
Beyond the doors is a large room with several pillars and plenty of
enemies. Switch to your Flamethrower and shoot the weapon at the walls
before entering.
The flames go through the walls so you can get rid of about half of the
gunmen waiting for you. Use the Molotovs to get rid of some more when
you enter the large room and then use the M4 to take down the ones on
the upper level plus the SWAT guys that appear.
When you get to the other side of the room then another door will open
and a Balla will come out. Kill him then go to the wall.
Shoot at the wall with the Flamethrower prior to going through the
door. This will take down most of the ambushers.
Wait for a few seconds then shoot the wall again since there will be a
couple more gunmen replacing the ambushers you fragged. This will clear
the upcoming hall of enemies.
Be careful when using it around the SWAT Tank. It will blow up if
flamed by the Flamethrower too much. Proceed through the hall and go
up.
Then go through the double doors and proceed to the next floor.
0===================0
| Floor 2: Drug Lab |
0===================0
>>Without the Fireproof Feature
*****************************
When you get to the top of the stairs then you will find another enemy
and a Body Armor Icon. Kill him and he will drop an M4.
Behind the next set of double doors is a hallway that leads to another
set of double doors. This hallway also contains an enemy so kill him
and get to the next set of double doors.
Behind this set of double doors is a large room with pillars similar to
the last one. But this one has machinery and explosive barrels. Plus
some of the enemies have M4s.
Poke through the left door and use it as a shield so you can clear the
room of some enemies. You can also target the explosive barrels to get
rid of some of the enemies. The machinery can be used as cover so you
can get rid of the rest.
After you have cleared the room then proceed up the the stairs on the
east side of the room and head west along the walkway. As you get near
the corner then a couple of enemies will enter through the west door
and will shoot you from below. Kill them and proceed.
As you go around the room and head east then you will see some
explosive barrels. As you get near the door ahead then a couple of
enemies will emerge. You can either shoot them or the explosive barrels
to kill them.
When you get through the doors and look right then you will see a
Health Icon. Go through the set of doors ahead of you to go to the next
floor.
>>With the Fireproof Feature
**************************
When using the Molotovs then go partway up the stairs then throw one
ahead of you to get the gunman by the Body Armor then toss one on the
wall to your left. This will kill the gunman in the upcoming hall.
Shooting the Flamethrower through the wall before entering the main
room doesn't work as well so stay with the Molotovs. Pop into the main
room and throw a couple of Molotovs to get rid of some of the gunmen.
Switch to your M4 to take down the nearby explosive barrel and the
gunman on the upper level. Switch back to the Molotovs and, using the
machines and pillars as cover, toss some to clear the room of the
remaining gunmen.
After you have cleared the room then proceed up the the stairs on the
east side of the room and head west along the walkway. As you get near
the corner then a couple of enemies will enter through the west door
and will shoot you from below. Kill them and proceed.
As you go around the room and head east then you will see some
explosive barrels. As you get near the door ahead then a couple of
enemies will emerge. You can either shoot them or the explosive barrels
to kill them.
When you get through the doors and look right then you will see a
Health Icon. Go through the set of doors ahead of you to go to the next
floor.
0========================0
| Floor 3: Ballas Lounge |
0========================0
>>Without the Fireproof Feature
*****************************
When you get to the top of the stairs then you will find another enemy
and a Body Armor Icon. When you go through the double doors then you
will find a couple of enemies guarding the entrance of the lounge.
Go through the next set of doors to enter the lounge and you will be
beset by several enemies including one with a Shotgun. With the M4 you
can kill them all quickly.
There is also another enemy in the next part of the lounge lobby. Kill
him then go through the next set of doors.
When you look left then you will see a statue of Big Smoke and several
enemies nearby. Kill them all then head right. Some more enemies will
appear including two with Shotguns. Use the pillars as cover and kill
them all.
You will see two sets of doors on opposite sides of the hall. These are
private dance rooms and one has a Health Icon and the other has a Body
Armor Icon. They also have an enemy you have to kill before picking up
any icons.
Proceed through the hall and turn left so you can go through the next
set of doors. This will lead you to the next set of stairs and to the
next floor.
>>With the Fireproof Feature
**************************
The Flamethrower really comes in handy here. Shoot through the door to
take care of the two guards.
Then shoot through the walls and door to clear the reception area of
gunmen. Go through the doors and to the right until you are in the
corner.
Shoot through the wall and get rid of the gunmen in the lounge lobby.
Go back to the reception desk and shoot through the wall behind the
desk. This will clear out a lot of enemies near the Big Smoke statue.
Switch to your Molotovs and proceed to the statue. Use the pillar as
cover and toss some Molotovs around to get rid of the rest of the
enemies so you can move forward.
Proceed through the hall and turn left so you can go through the next
set of doors. This will lead you to the next set of stairs and to the
next floor.
0====================0
| Floor 4: Big Smoke |
0====================0
When you get here then you will start a cutscene with Big Smoke. After that
then you have to kill him.
When you start this part of the mission then Big Smoke will be near the
vidgame machine he was playing when you were in the previous cutscene. He
will be flanked by two goons.
To the left of Big Smoke is a small room where there is Body Armor, an M4
and a Shotgun. Underneath the upper level is a Sprunk Machine and Thermal
Goggles which will help you to find Big Smoke when he turns out the lights
partway through this part of the mission.
With the M4, hold down Target and Attack when locked on Big Smoke. Follow
him and don't let up the buttons at all. Because of the high Weapon Skill
level then you can follow him while firing at him.
Ignore the guys that come to help him. It will take quite a few rounds to
kill him but with the M4 this can still be done quickly even with Big Smoke
wearing Body Armor.
With the Flamethrower you can do a quick sweep and set Big Smoke and the
two goons on fire. Big Smoke will also run around in pain when on fire so
he won't shoot you plus his health will gradually diminish.
You can also quickly take down any goons who come to help him. However, the
flames will eventually go out on Big Smoke so you will have to set him
afire again.
With the Mini-Gun you can stay in one place and take down the two goons
while Big Smoke runs up to the upper level. After a few seconds then Big
Smoke will come back down to shoot you and you can quickly finish him off
when he does because of the enormous power of the Mini-Gun.
When you finally kill Big Smoke then Tenpenny comes to visit. CJ is forced
to put money into a suitcase. Then Tenpenny tries to kill CJ but is
thwarted.
He then runs from the scene and sets fire to the building to try to kill
CJ. The explosion also knocks out the lights and thus setting the scene
for.....
0============0
| The Escape |
0============0
You have seven minutes to get out of the building. CJ grabbed the Night
Vision Goggles when he killed Big Smoke. They are already preselected so
use them. Switch back to your M4. You also need to go out the same way you
came in.
When you get back down to the Ballas Lounge then you will be shot at by
more enemies. Even though the building's on fire you still need to shoot
your way out.
However, there are not as many as before. Kill all of the enemies you see
then head down stairs to the Drug Lab. If you have the Fireproof Feature
and the Flamethrower then you can shoot through the walls to get rid of the
enemies with or no little damage.
When you get to the Drug Lab then you will find the place engulfed in
flames. You will also see more enemies shooting at you. However, you are on
the upper floor and they are below. You can use your vantage point to kill
them all with your M4 before proceeding.
The game also prompts you to pick up the Fire Extinguisher so you can put
out flames to aid your escape. This will take time which you don't have
much of.
If you have the Fireproof Feature, from doing the Firetruck Mission, then
you can just walk through the flames with no damage. This is the major
reason why you should do the Firetruck Mission before doing this mission.
If you do not have the Fireproof Feature then you will have to use the Fire
Extinguisher to put out any flames that block your progress and avoid
others that don't. Go onto the walkway, proceed downward and through the
door leading down to Security Area.
Once again, you have to shoot your way out of the area. This time some of
the enemies have M4s so you can get a little ammo when you kill one. After
clearing the Security Area of all enemies then proceed downward and
outside.
Make your way back to the opening you made with the SWAT Tank killing all
of the enemies you see. When you get through the opening then you will have
made your escape and move onto.....

| Part Two |
0==========0
\XXXXXXXX/
At this point Sweet jumps from his car and grabs the ladder of the
Firetruck that Tenpenny is using to make his escape. Now CJ has to chase
after the Firetruck and save Sweet. He will get into the nearby car and
chase him.
This is a long chase. As you proceed through the chase then you will
bombarded with Molotovs but they will do no damage to the car.
As the chase goes through Ocean Docks then one of the rookies that are with
Tenpenny will exit the Firetruck and try to knock Sweet off. You now have
to get under Sweet before he loses his grip.
If you don't get him in time then he will fall off and you will fail the
mission. Try to position yourself so the hood of the car is underneath
Sweet.
When you catch Sweet then the two of you switch places and CJ will now
start shooting using a Micro SMG. This part plays out like the last part of
"Reuniting The Families".
You use your Micro SMG and shoot at the attacking cars to keep them from
destroying you. If the car's health line is reduced to nothing then the car
will be destroyed and you will fail the mission.
Fortunately, most of the attacking cars are easily destroyed. When you
encounter motorcycles then aim for the driver so the cycle will wreck.
Like the chase itself, this part is long and will wind through most of the
eastern part of Los Santos. Eventually, you will go north over Ganton and
then south through East Los Santos.
As Tenpenny nears the bridge that goes over Grove Street then he will lose
control and go over the edge. When you start the cutscene of him going
over then you can put your controller down for you have just beaten the
game.
"See you around.....Officer."
Congratulations! Now just sit back and watch the cutscenes and credits
unfold.....
