Modify vehicle characteristics:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of
the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "handling.cfg"
file in the "\rockstar games\gta san andreas\data" directory. You will find
a list of all the vehicles and a description of each multiplier factor. You
can modify the acceleration, top speed, mass, monetary value, transmission,
gravity center, and much more.
Two player mode:
Successfully complete the Burning Desire mission where you rescue Denise. A
red two player free roam icon will now appear on Denise's porch near the door.
The icon will appear there when she is home and will go on a date. Note: If
both enter a car, the passenger will have free aim with a machine gun. Do not
try to kill Denise, because you will never be able to date her again or play
in two player mode at her house. Additionally, once you get your girlfriend,
take her on a date. After you drop her off, there will be a rotating icon of
two people directly in front of the door. Walk into it. It will tell you to
push any button on the controller two. Do so to start two player mode, involving
CJ and his girlfriend in a free roam.
For more fun in two player mode, start the two player mission. Then, enable the
"Spawn Jetpack" code and remove the Jetpack. Then, have player two get the Jetpack.
Enable the Jetpack code again, then have player one get it. Both players can now
fly around and do the two player missions this way.
Two player mode in Los Santos:
Note: You must have a second controller inserted in port two. In the Ganton area,
start from Grove Street where the Johnson house is located. Drive under the first
bridge and continue to go straight. Next, youshould drive over some railroad tracks.
After this, you should drive under a second bridge. Take the first right turn you
see. It should be a dead end. Drive until your car hits the grass, then look to
your left. You should see an open doorway. Walk through it and you should see a
small "2 Player" icon. Press any button on controller two to begin. Additionally,
when you are on the missions from Big Smoke go north of his house. You should see
some wrecked buildings. Go through them to find a two player free roam icon.
Two player mode in San Fierro:
Not far from the garage you own and beyond the construction area is a large
building with a parking lot on either side, on the right side (north according
to the map) is a two player icon. Multiple people types can be selected by the
second player (three women and three men). Unlike those from the dating missions,
this two player location will never go away.
Two player mode in Bone County:
Starting at the abandoned airstrip, go west and north onto the road. There is a
blackish-brown building on the south side of the road with a large balcony going
all the way around it. Follow the balcony half way around and you will find a two
player mode icon.
Two player mode in Tierra Robada:
Start at your safe house in El Quebrados. Get on the street and follow it a short
distance south until it turns left around the corner of a building. On the south
side of this building will be a two player free roam icon.
Two player mode in Whetstone:
Go to the General Store in Dilmore. There is a two player icon there. The second
player will be able to change their character.
Freight Train missions bonus:
Successfully complete level 2 of the Freight Train missions to get $50,000 and
free train rides.
Fire truck missions bonus:
Steal a fire truck and start the fire truck missions. Successfully complete level
12 of the fire truck missions to make CJ fireproof.
Easily complete fire truck missions:
Bring a fire truck from another location into Angel Pine, then start the mission.
This should be easier than doing it in Los Santos, San Fierro, the desert, or Las
Venturas. When you do it at this location, and you are stuck on a cliff that you
cannot get up (for example, if the burning car is on the freeway), take your time
by taking the long way. You should only use this method if you have at least three
minutes or more time remaining. Note: All fires will not always appear in Angel
Pine, as they may also happen in Whetstone or other nearby places. Although this
sounds difficult, there are not that many roads near the Angel Pine area which
actually makes it easier to complete. If the fire truck gets severely damaged,
enable the "Health" code.
Mike Toreno missions bonus:
Successfully complete all missions assigned by Mike Toreno to get a flamethrower,
minigun, rocket launcher, and homing rocket launcher to appear at his cabin in
Tierra Robada.
Paramedic missions bonus:
Steal an ambulance and start the paramedic missions. Successfully complete level
12 of the paramedic missions to get a health limit of 150.
Easily complete paramedic missions:
Go to Angel Pine, which is located in southeast area of the main map. In the
northeast part of Angel Pine is a medical building with an Ambulance next to it.
Get in it and start the missions. All the victims will appear in the city, which
is very small. The farthest person will only be about ten seconds away from the
drop off point. You can complete the missions in less then ten minutes by doing
this. Also, the cops do not appear very often, allowing your wanted level to remain
low. Additionally, do the Paramedic mission in the Angel Pine area. Start the
missions.
All injured people that must be taken to the hospital will be in the crowded town.
Unlike the fire truck missions if done in this town, this mission has all the people
in one place. Once you complete this mission, you will your health increased to 150.
This is a also very good reward because you can jump from the highest place in the
game without dying from the fall. Note: If you have the parachute in your inventory,
you will die.
Pimping missions bonus:
Steal the pimp convertible in the car wash parking lot near the Pay N' Spray and
start the pimping missions. Successfully complete level 10 of the pimping missions
to get money from prostitutes instead of paying them.
Quarry missions bonus:
Successfully complete level 7 of the Quarry missions to get the Hunter Quarry asset
and Quarry Mission time-trials.
Taxi missions bonus:
Steal a taxi and start the taxi missions. After a total of 50 successful fares,
you will unlock hydraulics and nitrous on all taxi-class vehicles. After using
nitrous, you must wait awhile between shots. However, that time decreases as your
driving skill increases.
Truck missions bonus:
Steal a truck and start the truck missions. Successfully complete level 8 of the
trucking missions to unlock RS Haul as a property.
Valet Parking missions bonus:
Successfully complete level 5 of the Valet Parking missions in downtown San Fierro
to get the San Fierro Valet Parking as an asset property.
Vigilante missions bonus:
Steal any policy vehicle and start the vigilante missions. Successfully complete
level 12 of the vigilante missions to get an armor limit of 150.
Easily complete vigilante missions
Use the Rhino to complete the vigilante missions easier. Additionally, start the
mission, put the vehicle in your garage, and exit so that the door closes. Enable
the "Destroy all cars" code. The criminals will be killed. Run back to the garage,
hop in the car, and repeat. This is also a good way to quickly gain more money and
status points.
Get an FBI Rancher and drive onto the Julius Thruway in Las Venturas. Start
Vigilante mode and begin driving around the highway. Just stay on the highway,
and you will notice that the criminals start dying for no apparent reason. Just
drive for about twenty minutes to get the 150 armor award easily.
Increase respect, money, driving skill and armor in vigilante missions
Enable the "Spawn Rhino tank" code and use it for the vigilante missions. When you
reach level 12, your armor will increase to 150. Each time you kill a group of
criminals, you will get money (on level 20 and over you will be winning $50,000
or more). If you get a wanted level, do not cheat to lower it. As police ram you,
they will explode and your respect will increase. All the driving that you will
do increases your driving skill somewhat.
Horseshoe bonus
Collect all fifty horseshoes in Las Venturas to get a M4, MP5, combat shotgun,
and satchel charges to appear at the Four Dragons Casino.
Oyster bonus
Collect all fifty oysters to increase your sex appeal and lung capacity. Note:
To find the oysters faster, get a Sea Sparrow (which can land on water). You
can find one by the Sherman Dam.
Racing bonus
Get first place in all races at the four racing locations across San Andreas
(marked with a checkered flag on the map/radar) to win $1,000,000.
Snapshot bonus
Take all fifty snapshots in San Fierro to get a sniper rifle, Micro SMG, shotgun,
and grenades to appear at your San Fierro garage.
Tag bonus
Spray all one hundred hidden tags in Los Santos to get an AK-47, Tec-9, Sawn-off
shotgun, and Molotov cocktails to appear inside your house on Grove Street.
100% game completion bonuses
Successfully complete the game with a 100% game completion. CJ will get a stats
boost, extra money, and a Rhino and Hydra will be delivered to CJ's house on Grove
Street.
Increase muscle or stamina
At about 22:00, go to a gym and work out, maxing yourself. After you have worked
out enough for the day, wait another minute until the time is 0:00. Max yourself
out for that day then go home. Save two or three times and you can repeat this
process.
To get your character maxed out in the muscle and stamina attributes, do the
following. Go the gym near the Johnson house. Work out until you are told that
it is enough for one day. Go home (right down the block), save the game to
advance to the next day. Return to the gym and you can work out again. You can
now max out your muscle and stamina in less then a half hour.
Increase weapon skill
Achieve a high wanted level and go into a restaurant. Shoot everyone with the
weapon that you want to raise in rank. If you walk around and wait, police will
spawn, but will not shoot you. Police can raise your weapon skill faster than
pedestrians. This works best in Burger Shot because of the wide area that you
can walk around in. Continue until you reach Hitman status.
Use the following trick in front of any safe house. Use the gun you want to get
up to Hitman status to repeatedly shoot a car until it explodes. Then, go to the
next car. Repeat this until you reach Hitman status for that weapon. Watch out
for the police. You can shoot them, then keep shooting the cars. When you are
almost dead, enter your safe house and save the game. Your health will be restored
and wanted level removed.
Get lots of bullets for the guns that you want Hitman or Gangster status for.
Go to Tierra Robada. Look around at the north of the island to find a little house.
Stay in there and enable the "Increase wanted level" code three times. Stay in the
cabin and wait for the police to approach. When they enter the house, kill them.
To attain Hitman level quicker, select your desired weapon and go to a Pay 'N'
Spray. Park your vehicle directly next to the Pay 'N' Spray. Exit the vehicle and
repeatedly shoot people, cars, and cops. When your wanted level is raised to two
stars or above, run to your vehicle and drive into the Pay 'N' Spray to cancel it.
If your vehicle is not damaged, the respray is free. Wait for the wanted stars to
stop flashing, then start shooting people again.
Go into a police station and find a room with one entry point, and something that
you can hide behind (like a desk). Take out your weapon. You should now have a
two star wanted level. Shoot any cop who comes through the door. Every cop you
shoot makes your gun skill go up by about five. Do this until you either die, run
out of bullets, or enable the "Lower wanted level" code.
Increase driving skill
Go to San Fierro and pass the tests at the driving school. Additionally, find a
tractor or a slow moving car. Drive the roads without going as fast as you can
(move slowly). This will take awhile, but will increase your driving skills.
Increase underwater skill
Repeatedly swim underwater to increase your lung capacity and your underwater skill.
Easily max Lung Capacity
Dive underwater, and once your breath is out, you will start losing health. If
you want to stay underwater, keep enabling the "Armor, health, money, and street
creds" code when your health is low. You will be able to remain underwater, and
max your Lung Capacity attribute easily.
Raising stats quicker
Go to any pier over any body of water. Swim under the pier and stay in one position.
This will immensely raise your muscle, stamina, and lung capacity in just under a
minute. Stay under longer for better results.
Return to land faster
If you get stuck in the water, enable the "Spawn Hotring Racer" then "Spawn
Jetpack" codes. It will not appear until you are on a non watery surface. Quickly
jump on the car. It may be a far ride, but it is better than swimming.
Unlock areas quickly
Enable the "Wanted level never increases" code. Go to the shaded areas of the
game and they will become unlocked. If you go to a safe house and save the game,
all areas will be unlocked from now on. However, in order not to be wanted when
you go back into these areas, you must enable the "Wanted level never increases"
code again, but you will be free to roam about.
Revealing territories
Get a plane and fly all the way to either the southeast, southwest, northeast,
or northwest of the map where the ocean is found. Keep flying for thirty minutes
in that direction, then jump out of the plane. Do not open the parachute and
intentionally drown. When you arrive at the hospital, check your map. You will
see that there are enormous amounts of new territories in San Fierro, Las Venturas,
and some in Las Santos. You can take over these territories, and they only have
one wave.
Quick map fill in Los Santos
To get all of the map showing in the starting area of the game, get on the freeway
and continue going until you cannot go further. Then, pause the game and the entire
bottom right half of the map should be marked as explored.
Gain respect
To gain respect, stay in your neighborhood and get a wanted star, then kill all
the police that arrives. Once you reach a four star wanted level (and if you killed
enough police), you will gain some respect. Additionally, completing missions is
not the only way to earn respect. By spraying other gang's tags, you will also
earn a bit, and by taking over another gang's area you will earn a lot.
Note: You must have completed some missions before you can take over areas. You
can see on the radar witch areas you have taken over, and which areas the enemy
gangs own. Your own territory is marked with green, and your enemies are yellow
or purple.
Respect status
Your respect is made up of the following factors:
Running Respect (see below): 40%
Mission Progress: 36%
Territory Under Control: 6%
Money: 6%
Fitness: 4%
Clothes: 4%
Girlfriend Progress: 4%
Your Running Respect is changed by the following factors:
Territory gained: +30%
Killing a gang member: +.5%
Killing a dealer: +.005%
Killing a member of your gang: -.005%
A member of your gang is killed: -2%
Territory lost: -3%
Your respect affects the number of gang members that you can recruit:
Above 1%: 2
Above 10%: 3
Above 20%: 4
Above 40%: 5
Above 60%: 6
Above 80%: 7
Easy money
Walk into a bar and beat up all the customers with a bat, nightstick, or pool cue.
More customers spawn and your wanted level will not rise. No one pulls out a gun,
and your maximum health will increase after a number of fights. Beating up the
person next to the pool tables gets you a pool cue, and every once in awhile a
customer will spill a few hundred dollars.
Find a save point that is close to a betting shop. The one in the Montgomery are
is ideal because it is near to the save point where you have to do the four
missions for Catalina. Save your game, then go to the betting shop and bet all
your money on a horse. It takes awhile to enter the numbers, but is worth it
because you can make a huge amount of cash (especially if you bet on horses with
odds of 10/1, 11/1, 12/1, etc.). It takes roughly three to four minutes to bet
the maximum amount of money, which is $9,999,995. You will not win every time.
When you lose, reload your last saved game. It is possible to get $250,000,000 by
betting your winnings of $30,000 to $700.000 to $2,000,000 to the maximum bet.
Enable the "Deadly vehicle" and "Flying cars" codes. When you are up in the air,
fly down to the ground and hit it to get money for a unique trick. The higher you
go and hit the ground, the more money you can make. You can also deactivate the
code while in the air and hit the ground to make a lot of money.
Enable the "Flying cars" code. Fly around for a few seconds, then touch the ground.
You will get money for insane stunts.
Easy Hitman rating
Shoot at the black part of a wheel. If you shoot at the rim it will not work.
Keep on shooting until the skill bar is all the way up for the desired weapon.
Easy dual sawn-off shotgun ability
It is recommended that you spray all 100 tags, as it is easier for ammunition
and early on missions. Get a cop car (preferably a car, OT truck, rancher, etc.).
Save it in the Johnson family garage; save the game if desired. Get a large amount
of sawn-off shotgun ammunition. If all 100 tags were sprayed, it is available in
Johnson kitchen. Go to the garage. Get as far away from the car as possible without
letting the garage door close. Then crouch, aim for the grill of the police car,
and shoot. Every few shots (or every time the car catches fire), you should have
more weapon skill. It will eventually upgrade about every minute. When it catches
on fire, let the garage repair the car and come back. This does not work as well
at getting Hitman on the other weapons.
Easy money in Los Santos
From the Johnson house in the Ganton area, go straight until you are in the front
yard of the house opposite of yours. Turn right, and go behind it by going between
that house and the one next to it. Go in the backyard until you are in the corner.
You should see a pistol. Take it, then get back to Grove Street. If you see man,
usually in black, that is standing there with his arms crossed, shoot him.
He usually carries about $2,000 or more and a pistol, because he is a drug dealer.
Repeat this to get easy money. Kill him quickly before he shoots you. It is
possible to get $50,000 in one day by doing this.
Upon exiting the Johnson house in Grove Street, walk straight toward the house
opposite of yours, which is the one that sometimes has the BMX bike in the front
yard, until you are in the grass. Go to your right between that house and the one
next to it. Walk toward the corner and get the pistol. Go back to Grove Street and
find a drug dealer. He is dressed in black with his hands crossed down at his hips.
You will know he is a drug dealer because if you face him, he will try to do
business. You will get a pop-up display in the top-right part of your screen on
how to respond to him, even though you cannot actually buy anything. If you shoot
and kill him, he drops $2,000 dollars or more, and a gun just like that one you
picked up. Note: He will shoot back -- try to get a headshot. There is another
drug dealer that is wearing a white hooded sweatshirt that does the same thing.
He can usually be found up in the northeast part of Los Santos. You can find
these dealers all over Los Santos in the areas littered with gangs.
Go to the building with the parachute. When you get to the top, spawn a Caddy.
Get in and drive slowly towards the edge of the building, then just fall off.
You will begin to flip slowly. However, if you nudge the edge of the building,
the Caddy will spin and flip like crazy. When you hit the ground, you will get a
very large insane stunt bonus.
Find the Inside Track Betting building in the Downtown area. Bet the maximum
amount on the horse with the worst odds. If you lose, reload the game and try
again. When you win, it will be a substantial amount.
Go to the Pig Pen Strip Club. You can jump on the big stage with the srtipper.
Stand directly in front of her, and people will throw $100 to her each time,
which you can collect. Be very careful not to touch her, or the guards will
start shooting at you. Note: This cheat takes awhile -- eat before you go.
Get a weapon, then stand outside the your house in the Ganton area. Shoot your
homies (wearing green). Some of them will drop a lot of money. Pick it up, and
if you have a wanted level go inside and save the game. Repeat this to get a
large amount of money.
This trick requires maximum bike skill for both motorcycles and a regular bike.
Go to the highest building in Los Santos, the circular one, and jump off using
either the motorcycle or bike. While you are in mid-air, you can spin for a
little bit or try to do a back flip. Stay on the bikes until you land and you
will receive an insane stunt bonus for over $200.
Enable the "Kinky theme" code and enter the Ganton area with a nice car.
Drive up the alley were the burglar truck is located. Park there and within
seconds prostitutes will approach. Press Left to accept their offer, then get
out of your car and kill them when they are done. You will get more money than
paid.
Easy Stamina upgrade in Los Santos:
Go to the Ganton Gym in Los Santos. Go to the bicycle and start at level 1.
Work your way up to level 10. After awhile it will say that you have worked
to your limit and to return. Keep pedaling and your stamina will start to
increase.
Use the following trick to get a lot of weapons, increase your muscle,
increase your stamina, and get a "Hitman" rating with any weapon. After the
initial mission, go to the Verona beach area (on the south part of the map
near the ocean). There is a free open gym here. Use it to increase your muscle
and stamina. when you need to eat, there is a free hot dog stand down the path
east of the gym, or just save the game at your house. To get "Hitman" status
with any gun, find the weapon of your choice and shoot people or cars.
Try going to any parking lot and shooting cars. It is easier and they respawn
if you ride a short distance away and return. You can get as much money as
desired doing the fire truck missions, then going to the off track betting
after getting at least $10,000. Bet 10% of your money on the last horse until
you win. If you lose too much money, reload your game and return. Repeat this
process until you have a good amount of money.
Easy weapons in Los Santos:
Drive around and hit Ballas. When they are dead, pick up their guns then get
back in your car and find more. This will get you a lot of weapons very fast.
Easy Hitman rating in Los Santos:
This trick requires a controller in port two. To get an easy Hitman rating
for either the 9 mm pistol or shotgun, go to the Los Santos Police Department.
Note the two player icon across the street. Quickly enter the Police
Department. Run and ignore any cops shooting at you and get the armor in the
locker room. It is the first room on your right. There is an available pistol
in the room on the right, at the far end of the hall. Proceed to dispose of
the police using your pistol. If you need ammunition, the cops will drop a
gun after you kill them. Your weapon skill will quickly raise as you kill the
swarms of police that come after you. Continue shooting until your armor level
becomes low or is gone. Then, run to the far end of the police station hall,
down the stairs, and into the holding cells. In the middle cell is more armor.
Use it and continue your massacre until your armor is once again depleted.
Next, quickly run out of the door and across the street to the two player
icon. Start two player mode. Simply kill the second player and your wanted
level will be gone and your health will be refilled. Repeat this to gain
Hitman status or simply gain ammunition. Note: Hitman status with the pistols
will allow duel wielding, faster firing, improved accuracy, lock-on range
increased and faster strafing. There is also a shotgun hidden in the police
station in the room on your left as you enter, then to the room at the right
at the end of that one. The shotgun may not respawn as soon as you enter,
but in at least 60 seconds one should appear. You can use this available
shotgun to reach Hitman status with. Note: Hitman status with the shotgun
only gives you improved accuracy, move while firing, faster firing rate and
lock-on range increased -- not duel wielding. Duel wielding can only be
achieved with the sawed-off shotgun.
To raise your weapon skills quickly, enter a dance club, such as the
"Alhambra" in the Idlewood area. Begin shooting people with the weapon
of your choice. Doing so during the afternoon or night hours (12:00 to 04:00)
greatly increases the amount of people that respawn in the club. Since so
many people spawn, you have a virtually limitless amount of people to "train"
with. Doing so however, raises your wanted level greatly. Enable the
"Lower wanted level" code or know where the police bribes are, as you will
need them.
Go to the actual beach part of the Verona Beach area. Start shooting with
the desired gun. The cops will arrive after awhile, but you can make them
go away or just kill them for more. Keep doing this until the desired gun
is at Hitman level. It is possible to get four weapons up to Hitman level
in about an hour.
Walk out from CJ's house and make sure there a car in his garage. Use any
weapon to shoot the car in the garage until it catches on fire. Walk away
and let the garage close Then, open it and repeat the steps. You can do
this with any weapon to get an easy Hitman level.
Go into the bar near CJ's house in the Ganton area. Kill everyone there
and try to get a two or three star wanted level. Start killing the police
that come through the door. When no one remains, turn around and look.
They should be there.
Go to your house in Grove Street. Start randomly killing people until
you have two star wanted level. Kill all the cops with any desired weapon.
Make sure you have armor on. When you have low health, save the game, then
repeat.
Easy races:
Before you enter a race, enable the "Cars fly away" code. During the countdown,
start entering the "Pedestrians riot" code, but do not press the final button
until they take off. Run over all the racers and ram their cars.
Easy Pilot license:
Go to the airport in San Fierro and enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code.
Enter the Shamel jet and enable the "Speed up time" code. Fly it until a
message appears in the corner. Fly it for about five or ten more minutes
and you will have a pilot license without going to pilot school. Note:
Make sure you save the game.
Saving money:
Buy lots of ammunition for the Tec-9 which costs about $300. When you
have enough, buy one SMG. The game will transfer all your Tec-9 ammunition
into your SMG, saving you thousands of dollars. Note: This does not work
for the pistols, rifles, or thrown weapons.
Free Pay N' Spray:
Get a car that can be used for the pimping missions. Go to a Pay N' Spray.
When the door is closing, start the pimping missions. Then, deactivate the
missions after the door has closed and is re-opening. The door will open
again, giving you a free spray. You can repeat this as many times as desired.
Cheap car bomb:
Get a fast car or a motorcycle. Either shoot the vehicle or bang it up real
good. When it is on fire, jump out. This technique is also good for taking
over hoods quickly and easily.
Descend quickly:
When stuck at the top of a cliff or mountain and you need to go to the bottom,
do not bother going the long way around to get down safely. Instead, edge
yourself to the end of the cliff/mountain and slowly but surely you will
slide down the side and land safely at the bottom.
Lose weight quickly:
If you want to lose weight quickly, enable the "Speed up time" code.
Jump off building with motorcycles or bikes in Los Santos
Take any motorcycle or bike to the entrance of the tallest building in Los
Santos. You will be taken to the roof. Note: This only works with this
building and two-wheeled vehicles.
Basketball Challenge mini-game:
Go to one of the basketball courts that have full courts and a chain link
fence round them. One of the hoops will have a basketball. Walk up to the
basketball and start playing. While playing basketball, start the Basketball
Challenge mini-game. A red marker will appear on the court. Run to the red
marker and shoot the ball. If you make the shot, the red marker will move
to a new spot on the court. The goal of the mini-game is to sink as many
shots as you can before time runs out. Each shot you make adds a few seconds
on to the clock. When time runs out, CJ will automatically resume playing
basketball. Your highest score will be recorded and shown the next time you
play the Basketball Challenge mini-game.
Play basketball in Los Santos:
After completing the Taggin Up Turf mission, you can go beside Sweet's house.
There will be a basketball court with a basketball in the middle. Walk up to
it and start playing basketball. Note: You can only play by yourself.
Play pool and arcade games in Los Santos:
Go out of CJ's neighborhood in Ganton. At night, you will see a bar with
beer bottles flashing on top of it. It is next to the bridge. Go inside the
bar, and there will be a man next to the pool table. Walk up to him and play
a game of pool. You can also bet money on the game. There are also arcade
games you can play in the bar.
Bet on horses:
Near the Downtown and Mulholland Intersection areas (under the highway,
next to the big parking lot), is a building called Inside Track Betting
(with red/pink/blue posters). The entrance is just in front of it, and
you can play a horse race game. You first bet on one of the horse to win,
then the amount of money. Afterwards you can see the race.
Vending machines:
When you find a vending machine that serves chips, zoom in on it with
a pistol or rifle. It is blurry, but you can tell that the chips inside
the machine are real-life brands. Some chips that can be easily identified
are Doritos, Lay's Potato Chips, and Munchos, to name a few.
Breaking fences:
Walk up to a fence and either punch it or cut it with a chainsaw.
Climbing trees:
To climb a tree, find a ledge that will allow you to jump to the branches
at the top of a tree. If you hit them correctly, CJ should grab onto the
branches and allow you to pull him up. There is an easily accessible one
just outside of Glen Park Hospital to practice with.
Destroying cars quickly:
To quickly blow up cars, shoot the gas tank. This is useful when killing
a lot of people at once.
Expand and shrink moon:
Use a sniper rifle to shoot the moon to make it expand, then shrink in size.
Eating too much:
If you eat too much in a restaurant you will vomit on the floor and the
cashier will laugh at you. After this happens, you cannot eat again for a
while.
Effects of being fat:
When you are fat, CJ will say different phrases. For example, when you are
fighting he will say "I got weight on my side," or "I may be big, but I
ain't slow". The downside to being fat is that when your body fat meter
gets full, you run the risk of having a heart attack. This only happens in
very rare circumstances. You will return to the nearest hospital. Also,
if you have no muscle stat, or very little, you may not be able to climb
high walls or "super sprint". When fat, CJ will waddle around like a penguin,
and if you look closely (this happens with no shirt) the fat on his body
will wobble.
Take a photo of yourself:
Have the camera active as your current weapon, then target a member of your
own gang. Give them the camera and they will snap a picture of CJ.
Radio stations diss each other:
Listen to Radio Los Santos and K-DST. On Radio Los Santos, at times between
songs, Julio G. (station DJ) will make fun of the Playback FM DJ, saying
"Playback FM has some cool records, but the DJ is wack," and Tommy "Nightmare"
Smith, (K-DST DJ) will make fun of the Radio X DJ, usually just before the
song "Running Down a Dream". He will say, "You know, I can't bear that chick
on Radio X, or is it Rock X, Rock...listen sweetheart, get over it."
Radio shout-out from Denise:
After you obtain Denise as you girlfriend after the Burning Desire mission,
listen to Radio Los Santos. At times between songs, Julio G. (the DJ) will
have a shout-out from Denise to you, and at the end he criticizes the shout
out by saying "I got a shout out from Denise in Ganton who says she misses
her boy desperately. And I quote, desperately. Hey, you know, this isn't
Lonely Hearts, this is Radio Los Santos."
Screensaver:
Allow the game to idle for a few minutes. The HUD will disappear and the game
will zoom in on other nearby people instead of CJ.
Wanted level officers, weapons, and vehicles:
Depending on your wanted level, different law enforcement vehicles, officers,
and weapons will be used against you:
One star: Police officers on foot, in cars, and HPV1000s (police bikes) will
go after you. They have 9mms and nightsticks. If you do not have a gun out,
they will try to beat you with their nightsticks. If you have a gun out, they
will shoot.
Two stars: Police officers in cars and HPV1000s will come after you. They
will have 9mms and nightsticks, although they will not use their nightsticks.
They will shoot at you no matter what. If you are in a car, cops will drive
faster after you.
Three stars: Police officers in cars will go after you. They will have the
same weapons. Police choppers are now involved and shoot you from their guns.
Police cars will go fast enough to be able to keep up with you and roadblocks
will be in place at times, with officers shooting 9mms at your car.
Four stars: Cops in cars and SWAT officers will come after you in Enforcers
(SWAT vans). SWAT officers will now rappel from the police choppers. SWAT
officers are now in roadblocks and SWAT officers will have Micro SMGs. If
you are in an aircraft, a Hydra will go after you to shoot you down.
Five stars: FBI agents will go after you with FBI Ranchers. Most authorities
going after you will be the FBI; there will be less cop and SWAT cars.
The police chopper still goes after you, and the FBI will replace the
SWAT men in roadblocks. FBI agents carry SMGs.
Six stars: Military soldiers will go after you in Rhinos (tanks) and
Barracks trucks. They will replace the FBI in roadblocks. The army will
carry M4s.
Saving gang members:
To save a gang member or bodyguard when you turn off the game, go to your
safe house. Go to your garage, run in the garage with your bodyguards.
Run out without your bodyguards, and then save the game.
Taking over gang territories easily:
An easy way to take over territories is to find a high place like a roof
top. First, kill a few gang members to start the war, then get onto a roof.
When you are up there, they will still shoot at you, but will not have
accurate aim and will miss frequently.
Note: It is recommended that the "Air Strip" missions be completed first.
To easily take over territories, go to the airstrip and take the Jetpack.
Go to any enemy territory and start a gang war by killing some enemy gang
members. Fly and land on any building roof you can easily see incoming
enemy gang members. Kill all gang members from up there. By doing this,
you can easily hold all enemy territories. Be patient when killing gang
members, and try to stay inside the war zone. The distance between the
airstrip and enemy territories is long, but this is the easiest way to
quickly and safely hold enemy gang territories. All territories can be
held by using the Jetpack, but only one by one.
Keep gang territory easily:
If your gang turf is under attack, go to a save point and save the game.
When it is done saving, your turf will no longer be under attack and it
will still be yours. Additionally, when your hood is under attack, find
a police car or motorcycle, fire truck, ambulance, or taxi. Get in and
start the vehicle's missions. Then, exit the missions and your hood will
be safe.
Gang member race:
You can do this trick in any race mission with the checkered flag on your
map. Bring a gang member with you. You can even bring three if the race
is with a four door car. Walk into the red mission circle. Select a race
and when it starts and counts down, you will see your gang member spawn
to the street and walk towards your car. The races will start, and you
must wait a moment before he gets in your car.
Manual aim with any weapon while driving:
Enable the "Manual weapon drive bys in cars" code and run out of bullets
in your Uzi, Tec-9, or Micro SMG. Get out of your vehicle, then select
the weapon of your choice (except grenades and rocket launchers). Get
back into the vehicle and enable any "Weapons" code. The crosshairs are
back on and you can shoot that weapon.
Hit pedestrian with the front of your shotgun:
Note: This cannot be done with more than two weapons. Get a melee weapon
(baseball bat, dildo, or a police nightstick) and an ordinary shotgun.
If you have more than those two weapons this trick cannot be done. Switch
to your melee weapon. Walk up to a pedestrian and hit them, then immediately
switch to your shotgun. If done correctly, CJ should hit the pedestrian
with the shotgun as if he were using it as a melee weapon.
Roboi's Food Mart asset in Los Santos:
Go to the 24-7 store located near the Conference Center area. Outside the
front parking lot will be a bike. Get on the bike and you will automatically
begin the courier missions, which require you to deliver packages thought
Los Santos by throwing them through rings at the destination. After completing
three levels you will acquire the 24-7 store. Use the bike that was in front
of to collect up to $2,000.
Reach hidden areas in Los Santos:
Enter the Ganton Gym and spawn the Jetpack. Go over the arrow, out but do not
go out. Fly up through a blank tile. An all-black area will appear. Use the
thermal goggles to see all the people you have killed. You can also see an
illegal tattoo parlor, a tornado, a hidden city in your garage in San Fierro,
a tornadom and other things. Do not lose height or you will have to kill
yourself when you land.
Spray paint as a weapon:
The spray paint is not only meant for spraying tags. It also can be used as
a weapon. Aim the spray paint in the direction of a pedestrian and they will
lean forward, coughing.
Spray paint in Los Santos:
There is a spray can located in the upstairs bedroom of CJ's house in the
Ganton area.
Go in back of CJ's house. Climb onto the wall and walk over to the his house.
Jump onto it then climb to the raised part of his house. Walk towards the
back of it, and you will see that there is a building connected to it. Walk
onto that building and you will see a can of paint.
Dildo and nightstick weapons in Los Santos:
Enter the police station in the Pershing Square area of Los Santos. Walk
around inside the police station to find the shower/bathroom. In there you
will find a large purple dildo that can be used to hit people. There is
also a PR-24 (nightstick) in the police station as well. You can pick up the
dildo and the PR-24 without anything happening, but when you take the shotgun
you will get two stars on your wanted meter.
Go to the small town of Dillimore near Red County. Find the police station
with the garage opened up outside. Unequip your weapon and enter the police
station by walking over the entrance marker. Once inside, proceed into the
hallway ahead of you and take the first right into a locker room. In this l
ocker room will be body armor and a night stick. Keep walking behind the
locker room, and there will be an opening in the wall with a large walk-in
shower. Proceed into the shower and take an immediate right. You will see
a pink dildo spinning. You can pick this up as your melee weapon and begin
dildo-bashing people.
Cane in Los Santos:
Go behind to the Vinewood sign. Search behind the "V" to find a cane that
can be used as a melee weapon.
Chainsaw in Los Santos:
Follow the train tracks south towards the Ocean Docks area. Along the way
you should see some tire piles. Look around the stacks and you will find a
chainsaw.
Brass knuckles in Los Santos:
When you first start the game, go to the underpass two doors from your house
in the Ganton area. There are brass knuckles in the grass.
Shovel in Los Santos:
Go into Ryder's back yard (to the right of your house) in the Ganton area.
There is a shovel next to the back of the house.
Katana in Los Santos:
Find the 8-Ball shop near where you did the mission where you met Ceaser.
Directly behind the 8-Ball shop is a fence. Climb over it and you will
find the katana.
Handgun in Los Santos:
Go behind Big Smoke's house. In the corner will be a gun.
Walk to the street from CJ's house. Walk between the house across from CJ's
and go to the right. You will see a hand gun.
Shotgun in Los Santos:
When you rob the pizzeria with Ryder in the beginning of the game, instead
of running to the car as soon as you get out of there, punch out the clerk
for the shotgun. Note: This works better if you get the brass knuckles
found underneath the over pass near your hood.
Machine gun in Los Santos:
Jump on top of Big Smoke's house, then jump on roofs towards CJ's house.
On top of one will be a machine gun.
Go in back of CJ's house. Climb onto the wall and walk over to the his
house. Jump onto it then climb to the raised part of his house. When you
are on his roof, jump onto the house next to his then jump onto Sweet's
house to obtain a machine gun.
Uzi in Los Santos:
There is an Uzi under the bridge in the waterway to the right of your
house in the Ganton area when you exit it.
Weapons storage warehouse in Los Santos:
Go to the Ocean Docks area in Los Santos. Look for railroad tracks and
follow them south until they lead to a building with boxcars.
The complex can only be entered by jumping the wall, going through the
boxcar warehouse, or by an opening to the right of the warehouse.
The boxcar warehouse has a sawed-off shotgun (you will need a car to
get it) in one of the cars, a plank bridge that leads to body armor,
and gas grenades located at the back exit. A short distance away from
the back exit, you will see an entrance to another warehouse. This one
is full of crates. Go through the crates to find stairs. Behind the
stairs is an AK-47. Go up the stairs to find more body armor.
Dual weapons:
Reach the "Hitman" rank in a weapon skill to be able to wield two of
that weapon at once. To increase your weapon skill, practice at the
shooting range or use that weapon frequently. You can dual wield pistols,
the sawed off shotgun, Uzi, and Tek.
Get automatic fire with any weapon:
In two player mode, enable any weapon code one time. Waste all the
ammunition in your SMG gun. Then, hold the weapon you want to have
automatic fire (Desert Eagle recommended). Get in the passenger side
of a car while the other player drives. While holding the Desert Eagle
in the car, enable the same weapon code again. You can now shoot the
gun automatically.
Fire while out of ammunition:
If you fire a gun out of a car in two player mode with no ammunition,
it will still fire but no bullets will actually be shot out.
Suicide bomber:
Enable the "Weapons (tier 3)" code, then select the bombs which are
blown up by a detonator. Throw one of them at someone, and it should
stick to them. You can now blow them up like a suicide bomber.
Boxing moves in Los Santos:
Go inside the gym and defeat its owner to learn boxing style attacks.
Kick boxing moves in Las Venturas:
Go inside the gym and defeat its owner to learn kick boxing style
attacks.
Escape police in Los Santos:
Walk behind the Mullholland safe house to the pool. Face the side
that has five windows. Walk into the one closest to the corner. Go
to the area of that window that is away from the corner. Slowly go
in there and lean to the right. Unless you go too slow and lead an
officer in there, you will be safe. The police can see you, but
cannot hurt you, even when you have the maximum amount of stars on
your wanted meter.
Devoted bodyguard:
Start two player mode and get on a skyscraper. Have one player on
the edge of the building and the other player directly behind him.
Have the player on the edge jump off, and immediately afterwards
have the other in the same spot jump off. As soon as one player lands,
the second one will follow and land on him. You will now notice that
the second player will have almost full health, using the first player
as a cushion.
Scared cops:
Go into a Burger Shot restaurant and kill everyone. Then, leave and
immediately go back in. Kill everyone until you have four stars on
your wanted meter. Cops will enter the shop. If you start shooting,
all the cops will act like the people in the shop, and curl up scared.
The cops will not shoot you. If you kill them, more will just keep
appearing in the same locations.
Cops spawn in club:
Get a three star level level while in a club. Three or four cops will
appear and start shooting.
Hack into casinos for free in Las Venturas:
In order to hack inside and win free money, meet ''C'' (Kendl's
girlfriend) and complete one mission. As they have the casinos ready
for you, kill all guards and be done.
Very large stunt bonus in Los Santos:
Get a BMX and ride it to the most northern safe house in the Mulholland
area near the Vinewood sign. Note: If you are interested in buying it,
the cost is $120,000. Notice that the building is in a "L" shape. Go to
the inner corner of the "L", next to the pool. Ride into the walls and
you will fall through one of them. You will go into a glitched area.
Perform lots of rotations before you land back near the safe house to
get an extreme stunt bonus.
Make the moon bigger and smaller:
Using the sniper rifle, shoot the moon at night. It will begin to shrink.
After it gets to a certain size, it will begin to grow again.
Survive high falls:
Max out your health bar and get full armor. Go to a high building, such
as the one in the Downtown area of Los Santos. Get on the roof and jump
off without a parachute in your inventory. When you hit the ground, you
will lose most of your life, but still have a small amount remaining.
Note: If you have a parachute in your inventory, you will die when you
hit the ground.
If you accidentally fall off a very high building, enable the "Spawn
parachute" code. Open the parachute and you will drift safely down to
the ground.
Drive around with parachute:
Go to the top of Mt. Chiliad with a parachute. If you cannot find
one, there is one on top of the mountain near a Camper and a Journey.
Equip your parachute and jump on the mountain bike. You should trigger
the downhill race. Then, jump off the edge with the bike, but before
you jump off and deploy your parachute. You should spawn back on top
with the bike, but with your parachute still deployed.
Helicopter in garage in San Fierro:
Occasionally at the helipad that is guarded with a police garage not
far from it, if you go into the garage when the helicopter is present,
you will find another helicopter at the bottom floor of the garage.
Chopper does not chop:
Shoot some people and/or police to get a least a three start wanted
level. Then, enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code and fly up. Wait for a
helicopter to arrive. When it does, try to land on top of it. When
you do, the blades will not chop you up.
Backflipping Packer:
Get a Monster truck and drive down by the docks in Los Santos until
you see a Packer. Line up the Monster with the back end of the Packer
and drive up the ramp. This should send the Packer up in the air and
do backflips.
Somersaulting Rhino:
Go to Los Santos International Airport, and use the "Spawn Jetpack"
code to reach the top of the communications tower. Once on the top,
there is a small circular platform with a thin platform around it,
with just enough room to stand on. Stand on it, and make sure it is
the border around the very top platform. Enable the "Spawn Rhino tank"
code. If done correctly, the tank will spawn and immediately ricochet
off the top and do multiple spins and somersaults in the air before
finally hitting the ground below. This can be very funny if done
correctly.
Gang members in house:
Make a gang, with however many members as desired. Then, go inside
your house and press Up to call for your gang to follow. They cannot
go inside the house. Save the game. When you are done, they will be
standing in the kitchen. You can shoot them, punch them, or walk
through them with nothing happening to them. They will talk to you,
but they do not move and nothing hurts them.
Invincible zombie:
Find a cab driving around with a passenger. Note: This may also work
with other cars and your gang members. Take the car and drive it into
water (best done at the Glen Park area in Los Santos). Get out of the
car as it is driving into the water and go ashore, so you can see the
passenger trying to swim. After a short while he or she will be dead,
still are trying to swim. Aim at the person and the target will appear
black, indicating that the person is dead. Fire at the car's gas tank
to make it explode and send the person flying ashore. They will now
run around for awhile, then act like a normal person. However, they
will be invincible and will still be targeted black.
Zombie homies:
Wield a knife (tier 2 weapon), and walk up behind one of your fellow
gang members. Target him and press Up to recruit him into your posse.
Before he can turn around, cut his throat. Note that after you do so,
he will fall to the ground quite differently than the other members
of the population. As soon as he hits the ground, he will rise back
up "from the dead".
Moving fire:
Notice that when you use your flamethrower and are aimed at the floor,
you create a small flame or a few that expire in awhile. When they
begin to arise, the fire truck arrives and extinguishes the fire.
To do this glitch, eat something beforehand to prevent hunger.
This may take some time. Do a fire line with your flamethrower of
at least four flames horizontally with no cops nearby (or they
begin to chase you). Keep watching the fire, centering by using
the camera view, trying not to move CJ only if necessary. If the
fire truck arrives to extinguish the fire, repeat this until you
get a whirlwind of fire of a decent size. When you get it, it
cannot be extinguished. If you keep it centered with the camera
view and watch, after awhile the fire truck leaves the fire alone.
The fire physics are strange, but if you move Right slowly and walk
just a little bit, you can aim the fire. Keep doing this and you
can move it in a certain direction. Do not worry if the flames are
close to you, they do not cause damage until you move CJ to the
flames. If there are pedestrians walking to the flames ,they will
not suffer any damage, even though they do not runaway .However,
vehicles can take damage. To make them explode they must be stopped
for a certain period of time. Try it on traffic lights or when another
vehicle is blocking the path. This is particularly useful on highways
where cars travel at high speed. There are multiple wrecks and you
can wait to watch them all explode . You will not get a wanted level
for doing this.
Wear night vision goggles without their effect:
Activate the night vision goggles and play any type of arcade game
(They Came From Uranus, etc.). When you exit the arcade game, CJ
will still be wearing the goggles, but their effect is not there.
Remote explosives go through door:
Buy some remote explosives at Ammu-Nation, then steal a car. Get
out of the car and throw one at the drivers door, then open the door.
The explosive will stay in the same place, and the door will go
through it.
No explosion:
Go into Ammu-Nation. There will be a red circle to go into shooting
practice. Get close to that circle, then throw over twenty remote
explosives at that door. Without pressing the remote, step in the
red circle. You will go to the target practice. Complete round 1,
then quit. When your out of target practice, notice there are no
explosives by the door, but you still have the remote. Press the
remote. and there will be no explosion.
Fall through ground in Flint County:
Go to Flint County. There should be a road to follow. Drive on it,
and you will see a wall that leads off the to the side. If you drive
up and down that wall, you should fall through the ground. You may
have to do it a few times. You must hug the wall for this glitch to
occur. Additionally, go to your safe house in Prickle Pine.
Enable the "CJ jumps higher" code. Enter the safe house. Turn towards
the entrance and jump up. You should go over the wall and fall into
blackness until you land in a field of grey. In front of you should
be an incomplete version of the are where you saved Denise. Buildings
will be missing, but you can physically touch them. You should also
see white letters that read "Ganton", "North Rock", and "Downtown".
Stand in front of it and mark the Four Dragons Casino. Then, enable
the "Spawn Jetpack" code and fly it toward the casino. You should
eventually see an armor pickup, a uzi pickup, a pistol pickup, and
a money pickup that contains $15,000 at most. You should also see
four white doors, but they have the wall physics around them.
Walk or drive underwater in Flint County:
Go to the bottom of the water at the end of the island in Flint
county. Enable the "Maximum lung capacity" code, then swim down
to where you see two rocks and a large starfish. Swim behind the
biggest rock. Sooner or later, you will be able to walk on the
bottom of the ocean. You can spawn vehicles and fire weapons.
Note: Do not get out of the water or try to fly a plane or you
will have to do this all over. Also, if you go too close to shore
or out too far, you will respawn on the nearest island. This
glitch may take a lot of time to do and requires patience.
Invisible spray paint in Los Santos:
When in CJ's home, get the spray paint can from his bedroom. Go
to his lobby and spray in front off his mirror at a certain
distance. You will not see the spray in the mirror when spraying.
Missing gun in Los Santos:
Have a gun capable of doing drive-bys and go on a date with Denise
riding in a motorcycle. If she asks if you want some "coffee", say
"Yes". When you are done and get back on your bike, you will not
have the gun out. This will fix itself when you get off the bike.
Fall through ground in Los Santos:
There is a property to buy directly above Madd Dogg's mansion in
the Mullholland area. You do not have to have buy it; just go there.
In the back is a waterless pool and a wall on the east side. Walk
up against it and you will fall through an invisible wall and
continue falling until you reappear back on the ground. You can
use the Jetpack to fly around in blue hell.
Go to the building where the mission "End Of The Line" took place,
where you killed Big Smoke. Note: This will not work after you
complete the mission -- you should be playing a new file to do
this. Get a car and ram the wall in the front. You should either
break the wall and go through or break the wall and get pushed
back from the impact. Then, drive in and you will fall through
the ground and end up back on the street. Sometimes your car will
disappear when you get put back on the street. If you walk in,
you will fall but when you are put back on the street you will
not lose any health.
Go to the Ganton gym and park a car in the doorway, with the
hood touching the door. Get out, jump on the hood, and walk
inside. Once inside, walk back out again. You will appear in
a hallway. Walk towards the wall, and you will fall through
the world.
Walk behind the Mullholland safe house to the pool. Face the
side that has five windows. Walk into the one closest to the
corner. If you do not automatically fall, walk to where the
iron support beams end. You will start falling. In a few seconds
you will land around the billboard that is in front of the
Vinewood sign.
Fly under city in Los Santos:
Go to the Ganton gym and park a car in the doorway, with the
hood touching the door. Get out, jump on the hood, and walk
inside. Once inside, you will appear in a hallway. Enable the
"Spawn Jetpack" code and wear it. Walk towards the wall, and
you will fall a short distance, then be able to fly under the city.
C.J. dies dancing in Los Santos:
Enable the "Pedestrians riot" and "Pedestrians have weapons" codes.
Enter the dance club and start the dance challenge. During the dance,
a pedestrian may have a rocket launcher and start shooting. More
people will come in and watch you dance. If the pedestrians are too
close, then you will be inflicted with damage from the rocket launcher.
If your damage has passed the point of making you wasted, when the
dance is over the message will appear stating that you can dance to
a harder track. After the message disappears, C.J. will drop to the
floor dead.
Late death in Los Santos:
Go to the police station (where there is a toll gate with a policeman
standing next to it). Hijack any police vehicle. Note: If you hijack
a car or do a crime in that area, this will not work. Then, go in
front of the gate and wait for him to open it. Once he does, go
inside and go straight. Stay in your vehicle. Park next to the
garage door then get out of your vehicle. Once out, go next to the
building and your will see another booth next to the building. Go
inside and kill the guard. Then, kill the booth man next to the
gate. Once this is done, go in the garage through the fire exit.
Then, go next to a policeman so that he points his gun at you.
He should say that he needs backup into his radio. Kill him with
a gun. If done correctly, he should be dead, but still standing.
Once he gets off the radio, he should fall down and die.
Fall through map in Red County:
Get a police bike, and go to the section of the tracks that leads
to Red County if you keep driving. Keep moving your bike against
the right side so that it sparks severely, but does not crash.
After about 30 seconds, you should fall through the map. The bike
will fall and disappear, and CJ will appear somewhere on the map
randomly.
Walk through wall in Red County:
When you are by your house on the hills directly behind the
"Vinewood" sign, go behind the house where the pool is located.
Walk over to the wall and go straight, where another wall meets
that wall. You will be able to walk through the wall, and if you
walk in the correcl location, you will fall and the "Loading"
message will appear. The game will place you on a road below the
"Vinewood" sign.
Hospital underworld gateway in San Fierro:
Go to San Fierro's hospital. There are two different buildings
that are connected by a walkway that is over the road. Go towards
the western building (hospital) were the cane is located. (where
you get dropped off when you visit the hospital). To your left
should be an ambulance. Go towards the ambulance, and face the
east building "across the road". As you look across the road, you
will see doors and a part of the building (hospital) that sticks
out. Fly between the doors and the part of the building that is
sticking out to reach the gateway to get in the hospital underworld.
To get back to the real world, sink down to the endless pit. CJ
will respawn at the closest street. You can also fly though the
opening of the hospital where you first entered the underworld.
Climb a 100 ft. tree in Whetstone:
Located in the Back O Beyond area is a tree that is leaning over
a swamp. CJ can walk up the tree. Note: If you fall off, make sure
you have completed the Paramedic missions so that you do not die.
Strange water in Whetstone:
Go to the Back O Beyond area. The swamp water there completely
makes any vehicle disappear, while in the water.
Falling pedestrians:
Enable the "Recruit anyone into your gang" code. Recruit three
pedestrians, then get into an ambulance. Enable the "Flying cars"
code and take off (best done from your house). Gain altitude for
about one minute, then start the ambulance missions. Your
pedestrians will bail out of the ambulance.
Walk on air:
When in a helicopter, fly above the giant bridge and try to land
in the middle. The helicopter will land in mid air, and you can
get out and walk around in the air.
Die in air:
Note: This cannot be done if you completed all the missions in
San Fierro. Spawn a plane and a parachute. Fly north of San
Fierro. Go over the bridge and to the land. Then, go back and
jump out and land on the thing with a parachute. Get that
parachute and jump towards San Fierro. Activate the parachute
and CJ will die in the air.
Run underwater:
Start two player mode and get in a Leviathan helicopter.
Land in the ocean. Have the player in the passenger side hijack
the driver. He will fall straight into the ocean and be able
to just walk around and shoot instead of swim.
Swim in first person view:
Get a rocket launcher or sniper rifle and go near a body of
water. Jump in, and before you hit the water, aim and hold it.
You should be in the aiming mode of that gun. This also works
with other guns.
Floating breasts:
Start two player mode and choose the prostitute. Enable the
"Spawn Jetpack" code and turn the camera towards her.
Change song on radio:
While in any vehicle except for anything involving the law
(police, army or ambulance), set it on any radio station you
desire. Then, enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. If done correctly,
the last song that was playing on that radio station should be
different. CJ will also be wearing a Jetpack inside the car,
and his legs will be going through the bottom.
Dancing Packer:
Find a Packer. Move Down so that the railing moves up. Then,
get out and walk up the ramp. You will either do one of two
things. You will stop but remain walking (if this happens, jump);
or you will walk straight. As soon as you get under the top
ramp, the packer will do some crazy things, such as tilt so that
only one side of tires is touching the ground.
Invincible car:
Steal a car, drive it to a safe location, and get out of it.
Attach a remote bomb to the hood. Get back into the car and
any car you hit with the one you are driving will explode.
Your car will not sustain any damage and you will not lose
any health.
Invincible flaming car:
Enable the "Deadly vehicle" code. Get in a car then get out
and have a few vehicles hit it. The car should start smoking
and erupt into flames. Get in the car and it will remain flaming,
but will not explode.
Car falls through ocean bottom:
Enable the "Maximum lung capacity" code. Get in any vehicle
and drive into the ocean. You will slowly sink. Remain in car
and it will get dark as you go further down. You will go through
the ocean bottom. Stay in car and you will sink for about thirty
more seconds before respawning near the closest road to the ocean.
Tree through car:
This is best done when at a location with a tree that can be
knocked down and a store you can enter. Get a car and drive it
into the tree. This should knock it down. Park the car directly
over where the tree once stood. Enter the store by using the
yellow upside down triangle, then exit. The tree will now be
sticking out of your car.
Decapitated CJ:
After obtaining a katana, find a two player icon and activate
multi-player mode. Have player two decapitate CJ. Exit out of
two player mode, and CJ will have no head. Additionally, play
in two player mode with Denise and have the other player cut
off your head. You will lose the mission, but then can continue
playing without a head and bleed forever.
Stuck playing basketball:
While in the Jetpack, if you play basketball you will get stuck
and have to re-load the game.
Sub Urban turns into Ammu-Nation:
While at any Sub Urban store, take out a camera and zoom in on
the mirror that is close to the changing area. The mirror will
disappear, and you can see the interior of an Ammu-Nation.
Late cashier death:
When at a fast food restaurant (such as Cluckin' Bell or Well
Stacked Pizza), have a gun with you (preferably a pistol), Go
into a corner and aim. Walk up to the counter and put the
cross-hairs on the cashier's head. Shoot the cashier, and wait.
The cashier should back up with their hands raised, say something,
then fall to the floor. Note: This best done at Cluckin' Bell.
T Bone in two places at once in Mike Toreno mission:
Drive the car into the water and swim away. T Bone will be still
in the car, but will not die. Get another car, ignoring the
"You left T Bone behind" message. Drive to the airport. While
going there, you can still hear T Bone talking. As you arrive,
shoot at the targets and watch the intermission sequence featuring
T Bone getting Mike Toreno out.
Floating guns in Wrong Side Of The Tracks mission:
There are four Latino gang members on top of the train that
you have must catch and kill. They have guns that they will shoot
you with. Fail the mission intentionally, then find the train
that they where on. Instead of gang members, you will see instead
see floating guns that move and fire at you; they are invincible.
Flying fish:
Get a rocket or grenade launcher and go near a river or beach
with fish. Shoot the fish with a rocket or grenade. The fish will
fly out of the water and swim around in mid air.
Go to any beach area. Swim a little bit underwater to find a
school of fish, dolphin, or turtle in the shallow parts. Get
back to the beach where you are neck deep in the water, but still
able to use a weapon. Aim the rocket launcher in the part of water
where you last saw the aforementioned aquatic life. Fire off a
few rockets. If all goes well, you should see a splash on the
surface of the water and whatever you shot will come out and start
flying around in the air.
Flying Tanker:
Steal a Tractor, and grab onto a Tanker (tractor-trailer
truck/18 wheeler). Back up to the front of the Tanker and latch
on to it. Drive forward, then turn sharply into circles. The
Tanker should go flying through the air. This may require several
attempts.
Misspelling in Los Santos:
In Downtown Los Santos, there is an Atrium. (you fight inside
it in Big Smoke's mission, Just Business). There are two
entrances; a front and a side. When you enter the front door,
the corner display correctly shows "Atrium". However, if you
enter the side door, the corner display shows that you entered
the "Attrium".
Misspelling in San Fierro:
In San Fierro, the gym is called "Cobra Marital Arts" instead
of "Cobra Martial Arts".
Jump through window in Las Venturas:
------------------------------------
Near the safehouse where your girlfriend Millie lives (directly
east from the Abandoned AC Tower; costs $50,000) are windows that
you can jump through. Climb the wall beside the house and jump on
the roof. You can go through the windows. You can see your garage,
shoot people through the window, and if you get a wanted level of
2 or more, can get policemen trapped in your garage. Be careful;
when you jump through the window and want to get out you must
step back from the window and jump until you can cling onto it,
then climb back up.
Wrong casino name in Las Venturas:
----------------------------------
Check the map that was included with the game. Look in Las
Venturas near the casino entitled "The Clown's Pocket." This
casino cannot be found, because it is named "The Ringmaster" on
this map. However, in the game it is called "The Clown's Pocket."
CJ spontaneously combusts in Whetstone:
---------------------------------------
Go to the level area of ground at the peak of Mt. Chiliad, where
the mountain bike race is located. Take out a rocket launcher.
Aim at the Mountain Bike. The green reticule will home in on the
bike. Fire at the bike and blow it up. Then, aim at the bike again,
manually. Note: The second time around, the reticule will not
automatically aim on the "wreckage" of the bike. When you fire a
second missile at the bike, CJ will catch fire. You can be 30 feet
away and still catch fire. Also, the same effect has occurs when
firing a missile at the bike to "blow it up", then shooting it with
a sniper rifle. However when using the rifle it will usually require
two or three rounds before CJ catches on fire.
Feet appear through bottom of car:
----------------------------------
Enter a car and enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. Your feet will
appear through the bottom of the car. This also works with planes
and helicopters. With bikes, CJ will appear to be standing up on
the bike.
Bicycle catches on fire:
------------------------
If a bicycle is upside down, it will catch on fire. However, it
is very difficult to get bicycle to stay upside down.
Lowrider remains in position:
-----------------------------
Get a lowrider with hydraulics. Put the car in any hydraulic
position desired. While holding the car in that direction, get
out. You can see the car remain that way. For example, have the
back of the car raised in the air.
Lowrider lights:
When in a lowrider at night, look at the headlights and bounce the
car up and down. Notice that the lights on the ground stay in one
location while the lights on the car move up and down.
Buy hotdogs from dead vendor in Los Santos:
Go to the end of the pier with a Ferris wheel. Enable the "Weapons"
code and obtain a rocket launcher. Find the hot dog stand at the far
end. Shoot it with a rocket launcher. Jump in the water under the
pier, and you should see the stand floating in the water. You can
still buy hotdogs, even the vendor is dead.
Wrong restaurant name:
Go to the Cluckin' Bell. Take out a sniper rifle and look at the
cups hanging on the wall. They say "Burger Shot".
Wrong dialogue in Los Santos:
During the Reuniting The Families mission, the police helicopter
announces that they are the "Los Angeles Police Department" instead
of the "Los Santos Police Department".
Camera in Los Santos:
Go in CJ's bedroom. There will be a camera beside the bed. Also,
once you complete a certain mission, there will also be a can of
spray paint in there.
Reaching other cities early:
Hijack the train. The easiest way to do this is when it is at one
of the stations. Then, drive it full speed to the bridges to the
other islands. You may need to use the entire city to pick up enough
speed. Also, you must be careful around sharp turns. The train will
de-rail. Note: This was done with the freight train. When you approach
the bridge at the edge of the city, you will slow down, even if you
are going very fast. The train will pass through the barricade, as
if it were a ghost. You will get a four star wanted level. There is
a police bribe on the train tracks in the second city that you will
pick up if you pass by it on the train, but your wanted level will
immediately jump back to four stars. Also, the train is bullet proof.
You cannot die from bullets when inside the train.
When in Los Santos, you will find that all bridges to the other two
regions will be blocked by blockades. Sometimes if you try to go
through the blockade at high speed with a fast vehicle, it will go
through and glitch, along with the AI vehicles that are following.
Enable the "Wanted level never increases" and "Flying car" codes.
You can now go to all of San Andreas without the four star wanted
level appearing. Note: This must be done again every time you load
a saved game. Also, if you shoot cops with the "Wanted level never
increases" code enabled, some cops will get out and walk away but
others will fire their guns at you.
The following is a multi-step process which may take some time to
get correct. Get the parachute located on top of the very tall
building a few blocks from the police station in downtown Los Santos.
The building is shaped circular inside and "L" shaped on your map.
Walk around to the northeast corner of the circular building and
step into the yellow triangle to get the parachute that is on the
roof. Take it, and keep it (do not switch to a weapon). Go back down
and get armor from the police station. It is nearby and has two sets.
Do not draw a weapon in the station or you will get a two star wanted
level. Next, get the jet at LSX, the airport at Los Santos. Drive up
to the gate, climb up on your car, and onto the guard booth, and climb
over into the airport. Walk back around to the gate. It will open,
and you can get your car and drive back in. Then, find the jet. It is
called the Shamal and is located at the end of the runway. Take off
and get some practice flying, diving, climbing, rolling, etc. Next,
choose a location on your map that you want to go. You can use the
map screen to pin that location on the radar. For example, choose the
Binco store in Las Venturas. It is next to the Las Venturas airport
and the highway. Once you pass the city line, you will get four stars
on your wanted meter. Because you are in the air, they will try to
shoot you down with missiles. Notice the two red blips on your radar
that are fast approaching. Dive, climb, and roll and the missiles
will miss. Do not forget to keep your eye on your target. Once you
are over your target and are very high, exit the plane. You will drop
straight down. You must be high enough for your parachute to open or
you die when you hit the ground. When you are safely on the ground,
start running. If you chose to go to Binco or another store, notice
that you can go inside and buy clothes. If you buy clothes, you will
get rid of the four stars wanted level, as long as you remain in the
store. Once you step outside, the four stars will return to your wanted
meter.
Reach other cities early in Los Santos:
Use the following trick to get to the other cities before their freeway
entrances are actually open. Go to any bridge that connects the start
of city of Los Santos to any of the closed cities. Jump into the water
that is under that bridge and swim across. When you get far enough, you
will have a four star wanted rating. Once you get on land, get a vehicle
as soon as possible. Note: You cannot use bribe icons or the Pay N' Spray
to decrease this wanted rating.
Fly plane without pilot license:
Go to either Los Santos or Las Vatos airport. Go to the place that you
would enter if you had a pilot license. If you try to get in the gate,
it will say you cannot unless you have the license. Next to the gate is
a small building. You will need a small car or any type of bike (BMX,
bike, motorcycles, etc.). Stand on top of it and jump on top of the
building. Jump off and you should see a fence (at Los Santos Airport).
Climb the fence and you will see a Dodo plane. Also, if you follow the
runway east, you will see a small jet that is unlocked. At Las Vatos,
follow the same procedure. After you jump off of the building, just walk
around and look for a plane. Note: All but one of the aircraft at San
Fereno's airport are locked.
After using the "Fly plane without pilot license" trick at the Los
Santos airport, go forward you should see a Dodo airplane. Get in and
take a right when inside the plane. Go straight, then take a right at
the runway. Go down it until you see a jet on the right. It is not on
the runway. You can get out of the Dodo and get in the jet. You can now
fly the jet wherever desired. However, be careful -- if you go out of
your territory you will get four stars and jets will shoot missiles at
you. Try to dodge them if possible.
Go to the Los Santos airport and get to the place that you would enter
if you had a pilot license. If you try to get in the gate, it will say
you cannot unless you have the license. Next to the gate is a small
building. You will need a small car or any type of bike (BMX, bike,
motorcycles, etc.). Stand on top of it and jump on top of the building.
After you jump off of the building, just walk around and look for a plane.
To get into the Los Santos airport without a pilots license go all the
way south until you reach a tunnel. On the south side of the tunnel,
look along the fence line of the airport. Notice how the sidewalk has
an incline. Walk up the incline and climb up the ledge where the bottom
of the fence starts. Turn towards the ramp sign and jump across. You
should grab onto the sign. Then, climb up on top of it, turn towards the
fence, and jump. You should jump across and grab the fence. CJ will pull
himself up and over, and you will be in the airport.
To access Los Santos International airport early, get a large van and
hop over the fence where the guard tells you that you need a pilots
license. You can also get any car and hop over the fence around the
corner from the guard. Once inside, you will have to hop another fence,
then you will find a Dodo. If you go a little further inside near the
runway, you will find a jet.
Go to either the Los Santos airport and get to the place that you would
enter if you had a pilot license. If you try to get in the gate, it will
say you cannot unless you have the license. Next to the gate is a small
building. You will need a small car or any type of bike (BMX, bike,
motorcycles, etc.). Stand on top of it and jump on top of the building.
After you jump off of the building, just walk around and look for a plane.
Walk up to the airport gate in San Fierro, touching it. Then, walk along
the side of the gate into the corner were the fence bends (keeping in
contact with the gate) and walk back into the middle of the gate. It will
slide open. You must start in the middle and walk to whichever side the
gate will slide open to. For example, if the gates on the left, walk to
the left. If it does not work at first, keep trying.
Parachute in Los Santos:
In the Downtown area (near the three way highway section and the red
line where the train is passing on your map), you will see a tall
circular building with blue/white glass windows. The entrance (with the
yellow triangle) is just in the front of it. Enter it, and you will go
to the roof of the building where you can find a parachute. Take it,
jump down from the roof, and open the parachute. Use Left to control it.
Note: You must wait a short time until the parachute respawns back on
the roof.
Parachute in San Fierro:
Go to the Downtown area. Find the very big building. Out front, there a
sign that reads "No base jumping". Go to the yellow triangle and you will
go to the top. You will automatically get a parachute. This jump lets you
fall a long way before opening the parachute. Note: You can only jump once,
unless you die.
After you unlock Mt. Chiliad in the Whetstone area, take a Sanchez to the
top of the mountain. Once at the very top, look for a mobile home, and a
van. Behind them is a parachute. Pick it up, then look for the ramp by
the flag. Driver very fast and jump off. After a few seconds in the air,
jump off the bike, then deploy your parachute, or you can wait to do some
free falling. You can also jump off of some high buildings, and out of
airplanes.
There is another parachute on the top of the mountain (by the two vehicles).
You can fly the Dodo up there, take off, and jump out of the plane whenever
you desire. Then, open the parachute. By the time you get back to the
mountain, another parachute will have respawned. Note: Sometimes when you
jump out of the plane, it will not explode, even from that altitude.
Unless you have a license, do the "Fly plane without pilot license" trick
to get a plane or helicopter early. Fly to the top of Mt. Chiliad. On the
east side where campers are parked, there will be rocks. There should be
a parachute on those rocks.
If you ride to the top of Mt. Chiliad, you will find yet another parachute
location as well as a Bmx bike race marathon as well as a speed ramp which
you can use to fly of the mountain if desired.
Use the Jetpack to reach the very top of the northernmost tower of the
bridge leading from San Fierro to Tierra Robada to find a parachute to
skydive with.
Skydiving:
Go to any airport. Look for a yellow arrow at the entrances of the airport
where you can buy a ticket to another city. Buy the ticket and start the
flight. Do not skip the flight. Wait for the airplane to take off and get
high in the air. Jump out of the airplane with a parachute and begin
skydiving. Open the parachute when you want and float down. There are also
other places you can skydive, such as the tall building in the Downtown
area of Los Santos, and off the top of Mt. Chiliad. Additionally, to get
a parachute very easily, get into any type of flying vehicle, except the
Jetpack. You will instantly receive a parachute. If you fly high into the
air, then jump out of your plane or helicopter, the parachute will
automatically be switched into your weapon inventory.
Skydive longer:
Enable the "Cars fly away" code. Go to any airport and hit any aircraft.
Then, enter that craft. All you have to do is steer. Soon the height meter
will just stay up. You will get to fly higher than normal when you do this.
Fly as high as you desired, then Jump out for a long trip back to earth.
Easy money in San Fierro:
Do the valet side-quest missions. You will be awarded a $ spot, where
periodically you can claim free money.
Hippy Shopper asset in San Fierro:
Get on the Freeway bike in front of the Hippy Shopper store near the
Ammu-Nation. Complete level 4 of deliveries to get the store as an asset,
where you can collect money.
Valet Parking asset in San Fierro:
After the 555 We Tip mission, you can do valet parking missions at the
parking garage. You will be awarded a $ spot after level 5 of valet parking,
where periodically you can claim free money.
Zero's RC Shop asset in San Fierro:
After recruiting Zero, stop at his shop and complete all his missions.
You will be awarded with a $ spot where you can periodically claim free
money. Note: You can also make more money at Zero's place by doing an
extra mission (after you have already completed all the missions to get
the shop as an asset). Go to the back room in the shop and step into the
red marker to trigger a mission where you use the RC Baron to destroy
Berkely's shipping vans. For each van you destroy, you will get money.
There is a time limit for each time you play the mission. You can replay
this mission as many times as desired.
Bomb valet parking in San Fierro:
Go to the valet parking hotel without your uniform and stand next to
the valets. When a vehicle drives up, enable the "Weapons (tier 3)"
code and plant a bomb on the car that is about to be parked . When
the valet enters the vehicle, do not use the remote. Do it as soon as
he reaches the parking garage. The car and the valet are toast.
Stealing from valet parking in San Fierro:
Go to the valet parking hotel without your uniform. Stand next to the
valets. When a car drives up, quickly get in and drive off slowly.
The valet will begin to chase you . If he is very close to the car,
get out, and let him get in . As soon as he does that, quickly pull
him out and he will say "I am parking a car here". As soon as he says
that, get back into the car and drive off. The valet will not chase
you anymore.
Military vehicles in San Fierro:
Near the port in San Fierro there will be a naval base. If you quickly
enter the compound and drive around, you will eventually find a
military truck and Patriot vehicle. Note: Once you enter the compound
of the naval base, you will get a five star wanted level.
Baseball bat in San Fierro:
You can find a baseball bat at the baseball diamond in San Fierro
at home plate, across the street from Zero's RC Shop.
Chain gun in San Fierro:
There is a chain gun on Point Kinclad (big red train tracks in San
Fierro). Take a helicopter or the Jetpack and fly onto the first arch
leaving San Fierro to go to Las Venturas to find it.
Flamethrower and pool stick in San Fierro:
In the Doherty area, go behind your garage to find a construction area
(marked brown on the map). Go to the building just left of the road on
the brown area. Under a broken ramp is a flamethrower and pool stick.
Guided rocket launcher in San Fierro:
Go to the airport and from where the two helicopters spawn, go to
the left. There will be two little buildings near the water. To the
right of one of them will be propane tanks. In between two of them
will be a lock on rocket launcher.
Shooting gallery in San Fierro:
Go to your gas station safe house. Find the trolley tracks (not the
train tracks) in the middle of the road in front of the safe house.
Enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code and wait for the trolley to pass by.
Once it does, fly into the air and land on top of it. Then, take off
your Jetpack. Enable any "Weapons" code and start killing pedestrians.
Once the cops start chasing you, you will notice that when they try
to ram you, the trolley will not get damaged, and is actually invincible.
You will be able to drive through the town and use it like a giant
shooting gallery. There is no need to worry if the military starts
chasing you. The trolley car can ram right through the tanks, sometimes
flipping them over. If your health gets low (you can still be shot by
pedestrian cops), enable the "Health, armor, and money" code. This
trick allows you to live a surprisingly long time while being hunted
down by the feds. To enhance your experience, you can also enable the
"Pedestrians riot", "Pedestrians with guns", "Aggressive traffic" and
"Lower wanted level" codes, then relax and watch the havoc unfold
around you all from the safety and comfort of a big red trolley car.
Fling Bulldozer around in San Fierro:
Go to the construction yard near San Fierro. Go past the crane and
turn left after the first hangar. Behind that, you will see a towtruck,
Get in and drive towards the Bulldozer. Hook up the Bull Dozer. Drive
up the hill to where there is an open area. Then, turn very sharp to
either the left or the right. The Bulldozer will fling around, pulling
the tow truck with it. For even more fun, get three or more tow trucks
and hook them all up into a line. With three or more, the Bulldozer
acts like a ball and chain flailing around.
Fall off building and live in San Fierro:
Go to the Big Pointy Building (the one with a parachute) in the
Downtown area and jump off. Open your parachute and land. Go back
up to the top. This time, you will not get a parachute. Jump off.
Before you hit the ground, you will hit the side of the building
and slide down. When you are close to the ground, you should hit
one of the many slanted poles that hold up the building. This will
slow you down enough so that you only lose about one sixth of your
health. Note: Sometimes you will not hit a slanted pole and lose
more health or die.
Gant Bridge message in San Fierro:
Note: This works best if you unlocked the Jet Pack or an expert at
landing helicopters. Go to the Gant Bridge and fly up to the very
top. Go the very top cable line piece that is horizontal, is south
on the Gant Bridge, and is the closest to San Fierro. Fly up to the
very top and look at the cable that is vertical to see a sign that
reads "There are no Easter Eggs up here. Go Away".
Easy money in Las Venturas:
Go to the strip club. Stand in front of one of the dancers and wait
until somebody throws money at them. CJ will automatically pick it
up and say a comment as in "How thoughtful". Leave the game like this
for about an hour or two and your money should have increased
significantly by the time you return.
Burger Shot asset in Las Venturas:
Some of the Burger Shots have a timed delivery mission where you must
send packages on a Faggio. Complete them to gain that restaurant as
an asset.
Secret government agency base in Las Venturas:
Get in any land or air vehicle and drive or fly to the abandoned
air field in the region of Las Venturas. To the south from here,
there is a little area that is a "no fly zone". If flown over, a
mysterious five star wanted level will appear. This is because the
area is a government agency secret base that holds several heavy and
speedy army vehicles. You can also find this area in the middle part
of the region of Las Venturas on the map included with the game.
Tear gas in Las Venturas:
Go to the AT 400's hanger at the airport. There is a building with
cars nearby. You will see a can which looks like spray paint. When
you use it, C.J. does not choke. It is not very strong, but will choke
pedestrians.
Sex shop in mirror in Las Venturas:
In the tattoo parlor, kill the owner and pull out a camera. Zoom
in fully into the mirror. You will be able to see the sex shop across
the street.
Suicidal pedestrians in Las Venturas:
Find the gym in the Redsands East area. It is parallel to a bomb shop
called "Weddings & Weldings". There is an alley next to the shop.
Go into it and stand on the eastern wall of the bomb shop. Look in
the northeastern direction to see a tall white building. If you stand
in the correct location, you can see pedestrians spawning on the lower
roof and falling off. You can run up to a pedestrian after they have
fallen, but you cannot stand underneath the roof and wait for them to
fall on you; they only spawn from a certain distance.
Hunter Quarry asset in Bone County:
Successfully complete all seven quarry missions to get it as an asset,
where you can collect money.
Extra car storage space in Bone County:
Once you have purchased the abandoned airfield in the Verdtant Meadows
area, locate the massive garage directly opposite the house that is
there. It may not look like a garage as it is a hanger for airplanes,
but it is a perfect location to store a large number of cars.
Volcano effect in Bone County:
Find the geyser in Bone County. Shoot a rocket at it and it will
turn into a volcano.
Area 69 in Bone County:
Get in any land or air vehicle and drive or fly to the abandoned air
field in the region of Las Venturas. To the south from here, there
is a little area that is a "no fly zone". If flown over, a mysterious
five star wanted level will appear. This is because the area is a
government agency secret base that holds several heavy and speedy
army vehicles. You can also find this area in the middle part of the
region of Las Venturas on the map included with the game.
Use the following trick to enter Area 69 without the law on you.
Find Barbara (a girl you can date) in a town north of San Fierro and
Tierra Robada. Start dating her. After you get your dating percent
up to 100%, you will receive a police uniform. Go to a safe house
and put it on. Get in a police car or Ranger police SUV (recommended).
You can now drive into the base and get several things, such as
different types of guns. You can also get a chopper called the
Cargobob. You can also get Patriots, Rhinos, and Hydra fighter jets.
Go underground in Area 69 in Bone County:
Do the underworld glitch (at the Vinewood safehouse head north from
Madd Dogg's) and fly to Area 69. Find the underground complex. Find
the area where you get the Black Project, and you should see an empty
long hollow room next to it. It should have red boxes at the top of
the "silo". Fly underneath the empty silo then fly to the top of the
silo. You should see a "cage" where the room is of the red boxes.
Try to take off your Jetpack. When you do, you should land in the
Black Project area or the rooms around there. Note: To do the underworld
glitch, find the safe house pool. Fly the Jetpack into the corner of
the safe house. Then, fly to Area 69. Also, bring weapons and armor
because the SAPD officers spawn down there.
Huge air in Bone County:
Go to the Arco De Oste area with a fast car. Go up the mountain until
you see either a mine shaft or a wooden track. Follow the track back
to the mine shaft then turn around and follow the wood track until
you go off a jump. If done correctly, you should be able to clear
the Sherman Reservoir.
Machine Gun in Red County:
Go to the town of Blueberry. Behind a wall is a machine gun.
Easy money in Whetstone:
Go to the top of Mt. Chiliad and go behind the RVs. Pick up the
parachute and get on the mountain bike, which will start a challenge.
Go off the ramp to the right and get off of your bike in mid-air.
Pull the parachute and you will not hit the ground, but instead be
put back on the bike with the chute still open. You can keep going
off the ramp repeatedly to get as much money as desired.
Go to the top of Mt. Chiliad. There should be cars, a bike, and a
parachute. Get on the mountain bike and it will start a mission.
Instead of doing the mission, go forward and you should see a flag
with a ramp next to it. Get on the bike, go very fast, and jump off
the ramp. Once you are going down, the screen should blur. Do not
jump off the bike; just keep going and you should respawn back on
the mountain. You will get an insane jump bonus for about $300.
Repeat this to get as much money as desired.
Climb Mt. Chiliad faster in Whetstone:
Get a BMX bike and go to Mt. Chiliad. Ride up the mountain (not on the road).
Tap as hard as you can with the BMX bike, and you will be able to climb
the mountain faster.
Never fall off your bike in Whetstone:
Go to the top of Mt. Chiliad. Get the parachute and get on the mountain
bike at the correct time for the bicycle race challenge. Make sure that
the parachute is your current weapon before the race starts. When the
race begins, do not go through the checkpoints. There will be a ramp on
the left side with a flag beside it. Cycle there and jump off the mountain
with your bike as soon a s the race starts. When CJ is in the air with the
mountain bike, jump off the bike. Then while in the air, open your parachute.
You must do this quickly before CJ is put to the race track again.
However, once you open the parachute in the air, CJ will be put on the
race track again, with him riding a bike. However, this time you will
have a parachute opened while riding your BMX, and CJ will not be holding
the bike's handlebars. He will instead be holding the parachute. You can
now go downhill at any angle and at any speed without falling off the bike.
Note: You must end the race to take your bike elsewhere. If you try to jump
off the cliff again while you have the parachute, you will appear on the
track without any parachute. Once you finish the race with your parachute
on you, you can go anywhere with it. You can enable the "Massive bunny
hops" code and jump as high as desired and land at any angle without falling.
Note: Make sure you do this before you get on the bike. Getting off your
bike will release the parachute; if you try to do any awkward stunts you
might fall. You will not fall unless you release the parachute. Get
off the bike to release the parachute.
Infinite nitrous:
Activate the nitrous in a car and put it inside your garage. While the
nitrous is still activated, shoot the car until it explodes, then allow
the garage door to close. When the door opens again, the nitrous will
always remain activated in that car.
Quick nitrous refill:
Leave your car, then immediately re-enter it. Your nitrous will be back
at full.
Better handling motorcycle:
To get better handling on street bikes, get on one and enable the "Spawn
Jetpack" code. You will be able to make turns at full speed without crashing.
Note: The Jetpack will disappear when you get off the bike.
Exceed garage limit:
When you want to park a car in a garage but the game states that you cannot
store another vehicle, you drive the car near the garage and get out. Then,
hop in the car and drive in.
Finding your car after getting busted:
If you been arrested, go down to the police parking lot. Walk around without
a weapon. Eventually, you will find your car.
Stealing locked cars:
Some cars have locked doors so you cannot steal them (such as cop cars and
your first girlfriend's Hustler). However, getting them into a garage will
unlock the doors. You can either push a car into the garage or get a Tow
Truck or a Tractor to tow them. Additionally, to get in a locked vehicle
with someone inside (for example, a Combine Harvester), shoot the person
in the head and the door will fling open, allowing you drive it away.
Find a Tow Truck (for example, at the dump in Mt. Chiliad) and drive to
where the locked car is located. Hook the locked car onto the Tow Truck
and tow it into your garage. Let the garage close. When you open the
garage again, the locked car should be unlocked. This is easier then
pushing it into your garage.
If you try to open a car and it is locked, go far from it, then return.
The color of the car should be different and the doors should be unlocked.
If someone has locked their car doors, and you shoot them out, be careful
not to get out before you reach your garage. Otherwise, the doors will
stay locked.
Keep aircraft from races:
Enter the races at the Las Venturas Airport. Select the race with the
airplane you desire, then ignore the race and instead take it back to your
airstrip and park it in your own big hangar. You will fail the mission, but
can re-do it. Once you get back to your airstrip and look in your hanger,
your airplane will be there. Save the game to keep it.

on the game (with lots of practice). If you cannot find one of tem on the
streets with hydraulics, take one to the Loco shop.
AT-400:
Find the large single hanger at the end of the main runway at the Las
Venturas airport. Approach it and it will open. The AT-400 jumbo jet

hanger with a green door is located. When you walk up to it, the door
will open downward to reveal an AT-400 airliner. When you see it, there
will be a platform to the left of the plane that you can go on. When you
get onto the platform, go to the plane and enter it and fly around.

is a pier. On the left side of the pier will be a Bandito. This is a
buggy-type vehicle that is very good off-road. You can also find a Bandito
at Ocean Flats area of San Fierro, close to Palisades.

fun, get three or more tow trucks and hook them all up into a line.
With three or more, the Bulldozer acts like a ball and chain flailing
around.

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