Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas EFIL4ZAGGIN 100% Completion Guide Authored by Bootkneeley Farnswurth (aka VampireHorde) ************************* INTRODUCTION ************************* Thanks for clicking on the EFIL4ZAGGIN Guide (you gotta read that word backwards to get the joke). This simple guide will reveal EVERY Main, Side, and Non-story mission in the game towards achieving that precious 100% game save. I will only give critical tips (not long boring-ass walkthroughs) for most missions. Any missions I leave blank are as simple to understand and don't need my explanation. **This is NOT a step-by-step checklist! I encourage you to do any mission in whatever order you like (but be sure that you do them all). And, YES, I did beat the game with 100% and I have proof! ++WARNING: THIS FAQ CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE (for humor purposes of course)! ************************ --EARLY CJ MISSIONS-- ************************ There's no need for me to explain anything here. BIG SMOKE/SWEET & KENDL PUNK BITCH (aka RYDER) TIP #1: Choose the Afro for a negative reaction or the Jheri curl for a positive reaction from that punk bitch. TIP #2: Cornrows have the most sex appeal on the haircut list. *********************** --SWEET MISSIONS-- *********************** TAGGING UP TURF CLEANING THE HOOD TIP: Use a Pistol instead of a melee weapon to cap the crack dealer. DRIVE-THRU TIP: Stick to driving the car only! Let Sweet and that punk bitch do the shooting (Big Smoke is eating chicken so his fat ass can't help). If you try to help in the drive-by, there's a possibility that the Kilo Tray car you're shooting may explode too soon and cause yours to explode too. NINES AND AKS DRIVE-BY TIPS: NOW you can join the gang when doing the drive-bys. Since there are no cars around (to accidentally blow up your car), help the boys with the shooting. SWEET'S GIRL **What the hell does "Big love, unfinished business" mean? CESAR VIALPANDO TIP: The timing on this mini-game is super strict! Focus on the beats! DOBERMAN TIP: Be sure to pick up the weapons the Ballas drop during each wave. LOS SEPULCROS (This mission is only available after you acquire enough territory in East Los Santos) REUNITING THE FAMILIES TIP #1: To trigger this mission, you need to finish all the missions for Big Smoke, Freddy's bitch, and the punk bitch. TIP #2: When Smoke arrives in the car with that punk bitch, you'll begin shooting cops in first-person. Shoot the cop car's windows so that you can directly kill the driver. GREEN SABRE These missions open up after the "HOMECOMING" mission: BEAT DOWN ON B-DUP TIP: Follow my suggestions from the "DOBERMAN" missions and you should be fine. GROVE 4 LIFE TIP: Same as above. LOS DESPERADOS TIP: Take cover as soon as you reach Cesar's house. There's a punk on the roof with a goddamn Rocket Launcher. **For directions on recruiting gang members, refer to the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of this FAQ. END OF THE LINE **I won't compose a walkthrough for this section (for major spoiler purposes) but I will give a few necessary pre-requisites in order to pass this mission with little to no problems. PRE-REQUISITES: --DESERT EAGLE - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level --M4 - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level --DUAL SAWN-OFFS - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level --Max STAMINA --150 HEALTH --150 ARMOR --FIREPROOF unlocked --Max DRIVING SKILL This is all you need to pass this mission. Try to get as much ammunition for those 3 weapons (you have lots of money so spend it!). Unlocking the FIREPROOF and having max DRIVING SKILL will help towards the last half of the mission. *********************** --PUNK BITCH MISSIONS-- *********************** HOME INVASION TIP: As long as CJ is crouched he can creep at any speed and not make any noise. **Look in the Non-Story missions section of this FAQ for the exact location of the Boxville for doing Home Invasions. CATALYST TIP: When flinging crates simply aim the reticle above that punk bitch's face or body and then press L1. Or toss the crate on the hood of the car and it will bounce to him. ROBBING UNCLE SAM TIP: Focus on hauling the stuff in the forklift to the truck and let that punk bitch do the shooting. But if his health gets low, help that punk bitch out! **Just in case you're wondering why I call him a punk bitch, it's because that's what CJ calls him later in the game. *********************** --BIG SMOKE MISSIONS-- *********************** OG LOC (aka Freddy's bitch) TIP: Try to gun down Freddy from his bike to save time. Otherwise just follow him until he dismounts. RUNNING DOG TIP: Rapidly tap the Run button to catch up and cap the dealer! WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS TIP: Try to stay in the middle of the tracks and focus on getting up front. Let Smoke do the shooting and watch out for the train on the opposite side! JUST BUSINESS TIP #1: Focus on shooting the guys on the bikes. The shooters in the cars are a lesser threat than the bikers. Occasionally shoot the big truck too. TIP #2: When Smoke stops at the roadblock, focus on destroying the car IN FRONT of the bike NOT the cars on the side. Destroying it will allow Smoke to continue into the aqueducts. ********************** --FREDDY'S BITCH MISSIONS-- *********************** LIFE'S A BEACH TIP: When speaking with the DJ, accept her offer to dance to trigger the dancing mini-game. Press right on the D-pad to respond twice (positive) to start the game. MADD DOGG'S RHYME BOOK MANAGEMENT ISSUES TIP: Since CJ can swim; it doesn't matter if you bail out early, bail out late, or not at all. HOUSE PARTY (No, not the Kid N' Play movie) TIP: Keep running around and strafing when capping the Ballas. Use the crouch and roll and don't forget to replenish your ammo from those dead fools. **You find out during the "OG LOC" mission that Loc took one up the ass in prison by a guy named Freddy. So that makes Loc "Freddy's bitch" according to CJ. *********************** --CESAR VIALPANDO MISSIONS-- *********************** HIGH STAKES, LOW-RIDER TIP: Be a cheater. Cut corners and you'll take first place before the second to third checkpoint. If you can't make first place halfway through the race then you aren't cheating properly! KING IN EXILE (cutscene only) This scene triggers the Courier missions. WU ZI MU TIP: Be a cheater. Cut corners and you'll take first place. Make sure to use the Handbrakes to do turns. PHOTO OPPORTUNITY TIP #1: Punk bitch Ryder and T-Bone Mendez will emerge from the left of the building. Toreno and Jizzy B will emerge in front of it. TIP #2: Photograph all 4 when they EXIT their cars. Be quick about it! The following missions open up AFTER you finish the "YAY KA BOOM BOOM" mission, pass all 12 Driving tests, and purchase the Wang's Auto showroom (in that order): ZEROING IN TIP: You don't need to do the P.I.T. maneuver to scare the driver off. TEST DRIVE TIP: Don't follow Cesar too closely because he attracts police attention to himself. After you exit the shortcut "alleyway", you can then follow him as close as you want. CUSTOMS FAST TRACK TIP: No matter which container you choose, the first two you take on the crane will always be the wrong one. **Completing this mission opens up the Export/Import garage near the crane. Walk up to the chalkboard to see the list of cars wanted. PUNCTURE WOUNDS TIP: Don't believe what Cesar says about the "crazy bitch that messes with my sanity". The driver you're chasing after isn't as fast as he says she is. In fact, she tends to bump into walls and veer off the road, so this mission isn't as difficult as it seems. *********************** --CJ MISSIONS-- *********************** These missions are unlocked after completing "ARE YOU GOING TO SAN FIERRO?" WEAR FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR **For some reason, I find it funny that CJ refers to the GTA3 guy as a "mute muthafucker" and Cesar's cousin Catalina as a "bitch ass". 555 WE TIP DECONSTRUCTION TIP: When destroying the Portables, run it all the way down so that you also run over the worker inside. **Completing this mission opens up Driving School. Wait for Jethro's call and he'll inform CJ about the school. JIZZY ICE COLD KILLA TIP: Use drive-bys or try ramming Jizzy's car off the road. But don't destroy the car with him inside! PIER 69 TIP: Do not bother with the other Ballas when approaching T-Bone. Run directly to T-Bone and cap him to trigger the next scene. **Completing this mission opens up Boating School at Bayside Marina. TORENO'S LAST FLIGHT TIP: DO NOT drive on the freeway in the opposite lanes! Doing so will cause the helicopter to get away because of constant crashes. YAY KA-BOOM-BOOM The following missions are unlocked after completing "SAINT MARK'S BISTRO" mission and watching the "FISH IN A BARREL" cutscene: A HOME IN THE HILLS TIP: You DON'T have to land directly on the helipad to start the mission. VERTICAL BIRD ("That wasn't a groupie! It was a roadie!") TIP: If you're daring, lure the other planes to fly over the Restricted Area base. If done correctly, all three planes will be shot down by friendly fire **This mission is the most difficult one in the game, IMHO. It's not because the mission's hard, but because the learning curve on the Hydra Jet is SUPER, SUPER, SUPER STEEP! CJ's reaction to the whole mission sums up my frustration: "FUCK YOU TORENO! I DON'T EVER WANNA DO THIS AGAIN!!" HOMECOMING CUT THROAT BUSINESS TIP #1: Finish Boating School before attempting this mission. The first half of the mission will be familiar to you if you finished the last Boating test. TIP #2: Don't worry about Madd Dogg; he can take care of himself. Just focus on catching up with the phony. TIP #3: No matter how hard you try, you can NEVER catch up with the phony. This is a side-by-side race that leads to the recording studio. (Believe me; I tried catching up to that chickenshit phony and never got close.) **You unlock the Go-Kart at the back entrance of Madd Dogg's crib when you finish this mission. RIOTS **This is a super lame-ass mission. All you do is drive back to Grove Street while CJ and Sweet discuss about masturbation in the car (I'm not kidding!). *********************** --TRUTH MISSIONS-- *********************** BODY HARVEST TIP: Do not get out of the car when you approach the farm! Run all those hippy bitches down then run for the vehicle you came to steal. When you steal the vehicle, run them down again and see the mess you made (body harvest, get it?). ARE YOU GOING TO SAN FIERRO? TIP: Finish the Firefighter missions before doing this (so that you're Fireproof). It'll make burning the chronic less painful. *********************** --CATALINA MISSIONS-- *********************** FIRST DATE (cutscene only) ++TANKER COMMANDER TIP: When driving the tanker, make the mission easier on yourself by doing a drive-by on those two bitches following you instead of driving the whole way through the mission with them on your ass. FIRST BASE (cutscene only) ++AGAINST ALL ODDS TIP: Throw the Satchel on the front door and then throw one on the Safe door. GONE COURTING (cutscene only) ++LOCAL LIQUOR STORE TIP: Make the mission less stressful by helping Catalina. Don't let her do the shooting alone, help her out too! You're in an ATV, so start blasting! MADE IN HEAVEN (cutscene only) ++SMALL TOWN BANK TIP: You will NOT fail the mission if you lose sight of Catalina. If you do, catch up with her in the next town and then bring her back to her hideout. FAREWELL MY LOVE (it's the GTA3 guy!) TIP: Be a cheater and cut corners. The other drivers maybe ruthless but they aren't smart enough. **All 4 ++ missions can be done in any order. *********************** --TENPENNEY (C.R.A.S.H.) MISSIONS-- *********************** BURNING DESIRE TIP: Press R1 to manually aim the Molotov cocktails at the windows GRAY IMPORTS BADLANDS TIP #1: You can kill the snitch from afar if you don't get too close to the FBI agents. TIP #2: Sneak around the back of the lodge and manually aim at the gas tank of the snitch's car and blow it up. Doing this won't allow the snitch to drive away. WHO'S THE SMART ONE NOW BITCH?!? SNAIL TRAIL TIP: Do NOT follow the train side by side. Get ahead of it and get to Market Station first instead! When you get there, run upstairs and try to get a motorcycle and then wait for the target and follow him. MISAPPROPRIATION HIGH NOON *********************** --WUZI MU MISSIONS-- *********************** The following Woozie missions are found in San Fierro: MOUNTAIN CLOUD BOYS RAN FA LI TIP: When exiting the airport, don't try to drive past the vans. Instead, get out of the car and shoot the guys down and THEN continue out of the airport. LURE TIP: Keep the damage on the vehicle low by doing drive-bys on those motorcycle bitches. AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT TIP #1: You need to boost your Lung Capacity by at least 1% to do this mission, so practice diving (not swimming)! TIP #2: You only need to press the Circle button ONCE when diving. THE DA NANG THANG GLITCH? For some reason, I never fought the Snakehead and I passed the mission anyway. Weird. The following Woozie missions are found in Las Venturas: FENDER KETCHUP TIP: Drive like a madman! Go in wrong directions and do 180 spins to freak him out. EXPLOSIVE SITUATION YOU'VE HAD YOUR CHIPS DON PEYOTE (we're back to Vice City!) TIP: Kill all the rednecks at the Snake Farm to make the drive back to Rosie's less stressful. FISH IN A BARREL (cutscene only) *********************** --JIZZY B MISSIONS-- *********************** T-BONE MENDEZ MIKE TORENO TIP: Try doing the mission on a motorcycle. It'll make getting to the airport faster. Uh oh, did I give it away? **I find it funny that Toreno pulls a gun on CJ and asks, "Who the fuck is this?" yet later in the game, Toreno knows everything about CJ! OUTRIDER TIP: Watch out for shooters on high ledges! *********************** --ZERO MISSIONS-- *********************** You have to purchase Zero's property in order to unlock his missions. AIR RAID TIP: All the planes that approach the roof all arrive in the same order each time. Just shoot them down in the same pattern they arrive in. SUPPLY LINES **Thanks to all the user-submitted strategies. The one I've written here has been the majority of strategies I've been getting. It seems the only way to counter a 5 1/2 minute gas limit (RC planes use gas?) is NOT to fly! When the mission starts, land the plane on the street and control the plane from there. Control the plane towards each van or bike and shoot them all down. Once Zero gives the command to bring the plane back, go ahead and start flying it. Good luck, you're gonna need it! NEW MODEL ARMY TIP: This mission is super simple! Ignore Zero's annoying commands and grab some mini-missiles first. Destroy all three mini-tanks AND THEN continue with the mission without any mini-tank interference AND without a single scratch on the Bandit. Man, this was so easy! **After finishing all Zero's missions, I still have the same question CJ asked: "WHO THE FUCK IS BERKLEY?!?" *********************** --TORENO MISSIONS-- *********************** MONSTER HIGHJACK TIP: Keep steady in the middle of the freeway and it'll allow Cesar enough time to jump in the truck. INTERDICTION VERDANT MEADOWS TIP: Be sure to have more than $80,000 or you'll be hard-pressed to find that much cash (or "paper" as CJ calls it) in a short amount of time. **Completing all of Toreno's missions will unlock four weapons at his house: Minigun, Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, and Heat-Seeking Missile Launcher. Unfortunately, you don't unlock the super sweet Monster truck used in the "MONSTER" mission. *********************** --ROSENBERG MISSIONS-- *********************** Yes, the pink suit wearing, coke-loving, neurotic lawyer from Vice City returns! INTENSIVE CARE THE MEAT BUSINESS TIP: Leave Rosenberg in the freezer and focus on killing the Mafiosos. *********************** --MADD DOGG MISSION-- *********************** This mission is available after "THE MEAT BUSINESS" mission. MADD DOGG TIP: Make sure to back up and move forward SLOWLY when trying to catch Dogg! It's not as hard as it looks. *********************** --SALVATORE LEONE MISSIONS-- *********************** FREEFALL TIP #1: Do NOT jump out of the plane manually! Fly the plane REALLY high until you can see the approaching aircraft with the floating corona on top of it! Do a 180-bank turn and then fly through the corona on top of the other aircraft to trigger the cutscene of CJ jumping out. TIP #2: To land the plane successfully from a high altitude, put down the landing gear to keep the plane leveled. SAINT MARK'S BISTRO (Liberty City again!) TIP: Be sure to finish the Ammu-Nation Challenge to unlock the ability to wield dual guns. *********************** --HEIST MISSIONS-- *********************** ARCHITECTURAL ESPIONAGE TIP: Respond negatively, positively, and then positively to get the secretary to open the door for you. KEY TO HER HEART (you're that bitch's gimp now!) TIP #1: If you want the keycard the easy way, simply shoot Millie on your next date and wait awhile for the door to her house to have a yellow arrow. TIP #2: If you want the keycard the hard way, get your relationship with Millie above 35%. After the date, she will give CJ a call and tell him to pickup the keycard at her house. (She's in on the heist now!) Oh, and don't forget the 11-inch purple "weapon"! DAM AND BLAST TIP #1: You're not supposed to jump out of the plane manually! Fly REALLY high in the sky until you see a corona in the clouds. Fly through it to trigger the cutscene of CJ jumping out and crashing the plane. From there, control his parachute to the landing point and start the mission. TIP #2: As long as you don't alert everyone at once, it's okay to rub out the security and civilians that spot you inside the Dam. COP WHEELS TIP: 2 of the motorbikes are left alone while policemen are driving the other two. Bump the policemen off instead of using weapons (it'll only give you a 1-Star Wanted rating which you can shake off easily). UP, UP AND AWAY! TIP: You will unlock the Leviathan helicopter (the one you used in this mission) at the Airstrip once you pass this mission. BREAKING THE BANK AT CALIGULA'S TIP: If you missed the helipad when jumping off the roof, land on the street and quickly jack a vehicle and hightail it back to the Airstrip. Passing this mission garners $100,000! *********************** --AIRFIELD MISSIONS-- *********************** Airplanes in this game are a goddamn pain in the ass to fly. Flying planes in Vice City was easier than this! Passing all 10 Flying School tests unlocks the following missions: N.O.E. TIP: DO NOT (BY ANY MEANS) fly through the city or the mountains! Use the ocean and fly west of San Fierro to keep from damaging the plane. Unfortunately, I have no tips on how to fly that damn plane. STOWAWAY TIP #1: When rushing for the plane, stay on the LEFT side to avoid the rolling boxes and quickly enter. TIP #2: Hide in between pallets (to avoid the rolling barrels) and just use fighting skills against the agents (they're unarmed). BLACK PROJECT TIP: Don't bother sneaking through the blast doors (but try the Thermal Goggles!). Trigger a Condition Red and just head for the alternate entrance. GREEN GOO TIP: You need to destroy two crates (of the three) in order to get the item. It doesn't matter which ones they are but the third destroyed crate will ALWAYS have the item. **Completing this mission will unlock the ULTRA SWEET "Black Project" at the Airstrip. *********************** --DRIVING SCHOOL-- *********************** **The school opens up after the "DECONSTRUCTION" mission. Wait for Jethro's phone call and the school will open up.

E-mail me if you want to see a large screencap of all the unlocked cars. *********************** --FLYING SCHOOL-- *********************** **To unlock Flying School, you need to purchase the Airstrip for $80,000 during the "VERDANT MEADOWS" mission from Toreno. You CANNOT take Flight School until you buy the Airstrip!!! LEARNING TO FLY Complete the 10 following (difficult) missions to acquire CJ's pilot license and unlock Las Venturas: #1: TAKEOFF #2: LAND PLANE #3: CIRCLE AIRSTRIP #4: CIRCLE AIRSTRIP AND LAND TIP: Before passing through the second to last corona, put down the landing gear so that the plane can level itself when you land. This may take a few tries but it will guarantee a GOLD Certificate. #5: HELICOPTER TAKEOFF #6: LAND HELICOPTER #7: DESTROY TARGETS #8: LOOP THE LOOP #9: BARREL ROLL (this test is a bitch to pass) #10: PARACHUTING TIP: Landing directly in the middle of the circle will give you a GOLD.

GOLD - HUNTER UNLOCKABLES: ++HYDRA FIGHTER JET - Complete the "VERTICAL BIRD" mission and it will spawn in the last hangar. ++LEVIATHAN - Complete the "UP, UP AND AWAY!" mission. (Sometimes it will spawn at the Airstrip and sometimes it won't.) ++BLACK PROJECT - Complete the "GREEN GOO" mission to unlock this ULTRA SWEET unlockable! Screw airplanes and motorcycles when you got this $60 million hunk of junk! I achieved all GOLD for the Flying tests and I have proof, baby!

Complete all 5 tests to acquire faster boats: #1: BASIC SEAMANSHIP #2: PLOT A COURSE #3: FRESH SLALOM #4: FLYING FISH #5: LAND, SEA, AIR REWARDS: BRONZE - MARQUIS SILVER - SQUALLO GOLD - JETMAX **If you are acquiring territory again after the "HOMECOMING" mission, there are 54 areas (53 in Los Santos).

TIP: Do this mission in Angel Pine or any small county on the map since the area is so small. --VIGILANTE-- Make it to Level 12 to boost your Armor. TIP: Save your ammo and just steal a Rhino. Or if you maxed out your SMG ammo, do the mission from an HPV1000. --FIRE TRUCK-- Make it to Level 12 and you'll unlock "Fireproof". --TAXI-- Drop off 50 (thank god!) passengers non-consecutively to unlock Nitro in all Taxis and Cabbies. TIP: Try to focus on dropping off your passengers instead of focusing on the TIP meter on the screen. --PIMPING-- WHERE TO FIND: Steal a Broadway and press R3 to trigger the missions. Make 10 out of 10 successful pimps and you'll make cash each time you pick up a ho' (THE IRONY!). --FREIGHT TRAIN- WHERE TO FIND: Any train station with a stopped train Complete 5 successful deliveries on Level 1 and then exit the train. Enter the train again and press R3 to start Level 2. Complete 5 successful deliveries on Level 2 to complete the mission. TIP #1: To do a complete stop, lower the train's speed to less than 25- 30 MPH when you reach close to the 300 mile Distance mark. Since the brakes are pressure sensitive, press the Square button down hard to stop the train directly before the red marker. TIP #2: You'll be making 5 deliveries: two in each county and then back to the train station where you jacked the train. --BMX CHALLENGE-- WHERE TO FIND: Glen Park Finish the checkpoint challenge to add points to your percentage. TIP: Be sure to do this challenge when your Bike Skill is at least more than half-filled. This way you can bunny-hop higher for some hard to reach coronas. --CHILIAD CHALLENGE WHERE TO FIND: On top of Mount Chiliad Complete all three BMX courses to add more points toward the percentage: #1 SCOTCH BONNET YELLOW ROUTE #2 BIRDSEYE WINDER #3 COBRA RUN **All three races count as 1 full mission.

SAN FIERRO GYM (COBRA): Spar with the martial arts teacher to unlock a pair of high kick and punch combos. It's not very useful, IMO, but fun to try anyway. **Why is the name of the gym spelled "MARITAL ARTS"? Do you get married while using the treadmill or something? LAS VENTURAS GYM (BELOW THE BELT): Spar with the boxer to unlock CJ's most powerful set of moves. CJ can now grab anybody he's fighting and knee them in the stomach if they tend to block too much (just like in Ninja Gaiden). ++Once CJ is buff enough, challenge the trainers in the gym and beat them. Once CJ learns the new moves, you WILL gain percentage. You only have to do this once for all three trainers. --HUNTER QUARRY-- WHERE TO FIND: west/southwest of Las Venturas Complete all seven Quarry missions to acquire the Quarry assets: #1 CLEAR THE ROCKS #2 CLEAR THE EXPLOSIVES #3 USE THE DUMPER TO KILL THE THIEVES #4 DUMP THE DEAD BODIES #5 DRIVE THE DUMPER TO THE AIRSTRIP #6 CLEAR THE TRAIN TRACKS #7 HIDE THE DEAD BODY **All Quarry missions can be re-done at anytime after Mission #7 --TRUCKER-- Complete all eight Trucker missions to acquire the Trucking assets: #1 DELIVER MATERIALS SAFELY IN UNDER 2 GAME HOURS #2 DELIVER FRAGILE STUFF TO LOS SANTOS #3 DELIVER ILLEGAL STUFF TO LOS SANTOS #4 DELIVER MATERIALS IN UNDER 5 GAME HOURS #5 DELIVER MATERIALS SAFELY TO CERTAIN DESTINATION #6 DELIVER ILLEGAL MATERIALS TO CERTAIN DESTINATION #7 DELIVER ITEMS IN LESS THAN 6 GAME HOURS #8 DELIVER ILLEGAL MATERIALS WITHOUT DAMAGE **All missions can be re-done after Mission #8 TIP: The locations for deliveries changes for each mission.

Export all 30 cars on the list to acquire any car you want on specific days for a price. LIST #1: ++PATRIOT SANCHEZ STRETCH FELTZER REMINGTON BUFFALO SENTINEL ++INFERNUS ++CAMPER ADMIRAL **You acquire the Monster Truck for the first five deliveries and the Windsor for the next 5 deliveries. ++I found an area in San Fierro that spawns the Patriot. North of Easter Basin is the Naval Base. Enter the open gate and turn left. Drive all the way to the end of the Dock and it'll spawn there. Good luck getting out of there alive! ++You can usually find the Infernus in the Juniper Hill area. The Infernus now looks like an Acura so keep your eyes peeled. ++The Camper can be found in the Garcia area or at the top of Mount Chiliad. It's basically the same car you drove for the Truth. LIST #2: ++SLAMVAN BLISTA COMPACT STAFFORD SABRE FCR-900 CHEETAH RANCHER STALLION ++TANKER COMET **You acquire the Bandito for the first five deliveries and Turismo for the next five deliveries. ++You can find the Slamvan usually around the Juniper Hill area or around Paradiso (where Katie lives). ++The Tanker can usually be found driving in the backroads. It looks like the ones used in the Trucker missions. LIST #3: BLADE FREEWAY MESA ZR-350 ++EUROS ++BANSHEE SUPER GT ++JOURNEY ++HUNTLEY BF INJECTION **You acquire the Vortex for the first five deliveries and the Bullet for the next five deliveries. ++I have a screencap of the Euros if you need to see what it looks like. ++The Banshee spawns in the alleyway next to the Martial Arts gym. ++The Journey is a large camper/trailer usually found in the backroads or at the top of Mount Chiliad. ++The Huntley is hard to find because there are two other SUV's that look similar to it. The Huntley is an exact look-alike of the Range Rover. --ARENA MISSIONS-- WHERE TO FIND: Look for Trophy icon on the map Complete the 4 following stadium challenges to unlock cars outside the stadium in all three counties: #1 8-TRACK (LOS SANTOS STADIUM) TIP #1: Definitely cut corners in this race. Since the car your driving swerves off very easily, you'll need to keep a finger on the Handbrake at all times. TIP #2: You'll unlock the MONSTER (with an American flag design) and the HOTRING RACER at the parking lot when you place first. #2 DIRT TRACK (LAS VENTURAS STADIUM) TIP #1: You don't need to cut corners to win this race. There is a really high jump that will cause ALL the racers to fly off their bikes EVERY SINGLE TIME. When you reach this jump, simply let go of the gas button. By doing this you'll land softly and cut ahead without even trying. TIP #2: You unlock the DUNE vehicle in front of the stadium for placing first. It looks more like a modded Dump truck to me. #3 KICKSTART (LAS VENTURAS STADIUM) TIP #1: If you played the DIRTRING mission in Vice City then I don't have anything to say but GOOD LUCK! TIP #2: You unlock the BF INJECTION in front of the stadium next to the DUNE for collecting all the required coronas. #4 BLOOD BOWL (SAN FIERRO STADIUM) TIP #1: If you played the BLOODRING mission in Vice City then you know what you need to do. TIP #2: You'll unlock the BLOODRING BANGER vehicle in the parking lot next to the giant football statue for placing first. **Be sure to get First place in all four challenges to get the percentage!

Rapidly tap the fire button to get as many shotgun blasts off before Booth 3 owns your ass. #4 AK-47 CHALLENGE **BIG NOTICE: If you exit the challenge or fail one of them, you will have to start the challenge all over again. --COURIER CHALLENGE-- Complete all the Courier Challenges to acquire the property in each city: LOS SANTOS ROBOI'S FOOD MART IN COMMERCE/PERSHING SQUARE (BMX): #1: 3 MINUTES, 3 LOCATIONS #2: 5 MINUTES, 4 LOCATIONS #3: 5 MINUTES, 5 LOCATIONS #4: 8 MINUTES, 6 LOCATIONS SAN FIERRO HIPPY SHOPPER IN GARCIA (FREEWAY): #1: 3 MINUTES, 3 LOCATIONS #2: 5 MINUTES, 4 LOCATIONS #3: 5 MINUTES, 5 LOCATIONS #4: 6 MINUTES, 4 LOCATIONS LAS VENTURAS BURGER SHOT IN REDSANDS WEST (FAGGIO): #1: 3 MINUTES, 3 LOCATIONS #2: 5 MINUTES, 4 LOCATIONS #3: 5 MINUTES, 5 LOCATIONS #4: 7 MINUTES, 6 LOCATIONS **These are completely different Courier missions than the "Yay" courier ones in San Fierro. Complete all three! --RACING MISSIONS-- WHERE TO FIND: Look for the Checkered Flag icon on the map Drive to the following locations to trigger racing missions in all three cities: <> #1: LOWRIDER RACE CAR: BLADE #2: LITLE LOOP CAR: NRG-500 #3: BACKROAD WANDERER CAR: FCR-900 #4: CITY CIRCUIT CAR: FCR-900 #5: VINEWOOD CAR: SUNRISE #6: FREEWAY CAR: SUPER GT #7: INTO THE COUNTRY CAR: BULLET #8: BADLANDS A CAR: SABRE #9: BADLANDS B CAR: ZR-350 **The VINEWOOD and FREEWAY races are super frustrating because the vehicle you drive sucks! If you CANNOT beat these two races, I have a SUPER helpful tip but it involves using a very hilarious cheat code. When I inputted this code, I won the two races all while driving backwards! If you need to know, pass me an e-mail. <> #1: DIRTBIKE DANGER CAR: SANCHEZ #2: BANDITO COUNTRY CAR: BANDITO #3: GO-GO CARTING++ CAR: KART ++There is a shortcut in the middle of this race that will guarantee you a first place win if you take it. #4: SAN FIERRO FASTLANE CAR: ALPHA #5: SAN FIERRO HILLS CAR: PHOENIX #6: COUNTRY ENDURANCE CAR: BULLET **All the San Fierro races can be won in one try. Just cut corners and you'll be fine. <> #1: SF TO LV CAR: BANSHEE #2: DAM RIDER CAR: NRG-500 #3: DESERT TRICKS CAR: FCR-900 #4: LAS VENTURAS RINGROAD CAR: TURISMO **You need to win first place in every race in every county for percentage! --AIRPLANE CHECKPOINT CHALLENGES-- These are NOT races but simple checkpoint challenges (racing against other planes, are you fucking kidding me?). Just complete the challenge to get percentage. Get your pilot's license at Verdant Meadows to unlock these challenges: <> #1: WORLD WAR ACES PLANE: RUSTLER #2: BARNSTORMING PLANE: STUNTPLANE **What an ultra frustrating challenge this Stuntplane gives! I finally figured out the learning curve of this hellish plane and can try to explain the mechanics if anyone is interested. #3: MILITARY SERVICE PLANE: HYDRA TIP: This is my ONLY tip for this mission: Enter "Takeoff mode" but LEAVE THE LANDING GEAR DOWN FOR THE ENTIRE CHALLENGE! This will prevent the damn jet from swerving in every direction but up your pilot- licensed ass! #4: CHOPPER CHECKPOINT PLANE: MAVERICK #5: WHIRLY BIRD WAYPOINT PLANE: MAVERICK #6: HELI HELL PLANE: HUNTER **For Challenge #4, #5, and #6 take your sweet time collecting every checkpoint and keep the plane undamaged. Your percentage will increase as long as you pass all the checkpoint challenges. When you complete all the Checkered Flag races in all three counties you receive $1,000,000! Good job! --ALL 50 OYSTERS-- Finding all 50 Oysters boosts your Lung Capacity to maximum and Sex Appeal to about 40% (all attributes are boosted WHILE you are finding them not after you find them) and an extra $100,000. I will also give a few easy to find locations for these Oysters. LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: 15 Locations Verdant Bluffs 1 Mulholland 1 (In Madd Dogg's pool) Playa Del Seville 1 Ocean Docks 3 LS Airport beach 1 Verona Beach 1 Marina 1 Santa Maria Beach 1 (near the lighthouse) Glen Park 1 (in the middle of the pond) Fisher's Lagoon 1 Palomino Creek 1 Blueberry Bridge 1 Frederick Bridge 1 SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: 28 Locations Flint County 3 Beacon Hill 1 Whetstone 1 Mount Chiliad 1 Panopticon 1 (where you start the "VERTICAL BIRD" mission) Blueberry 1 Richman 2 Gant Bridge 2 Easter Basin 2 San Fierro Bay 2 Missionary Hill 1 Garver Bridge 1 Easter Bay 2 Tierra Robada 6 Valle Ocultado 1 Sherman Dam 1 (near the left tower) LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: 7 Locations Bone County Beach past golf club 1 Las Venturas Beach past KACC Fuels 1 V-Rock Hotel pool 1 Visage Casino waterfall 1 Pirates In Men's Pants (PIMP) on skull 1 The Pilgrim pool 1 Come A Lot moat 1 **Please refer to the ultra helpful San Andreas IGN strategy guide for all Oyster locations (you need to be an IGN member to view the guide). And in case you're wondering, YES I have found all 50 Oysters and I have proof. --ALL 100 TAGS-- Spraying all Tags will unlock 4 weapons (AK-47, Molotov Cocktails, Sawed off Shotgun, and a Tec-9) at the Johnson house kitchen: Idlewood 10 East LS 11 Las Colinas 7 East Beach 8 Los Flores 2 Playa De Seville 6 Ocean Docks 4 Willowfield 6 Ganton 2 Jefferson 6 Glen Park 4 Little Mexico 3 El Corona 6 Pershing Square 2 Commerce 1 Verona Beach 2 Market 4 Downtown LS 3 Mulholland 2 Vinewood 1 Temple 1 Marina 2 Rodeo 2 Santa Maria Beach 2 Verdant Bluffs 1 (at the top of the Observatory) LS Airport 2 **Please refer to the excellent San Andreas IGN strategy guide for all Tag locations (you need to be an IGN member to view the guide). And like I mentioned above, I have found all 100 Tags and I have proof. --ALL HORSE SHOES-- Finding all Horseshoes will unlock 4 weapons (M4, Shotgun, Satchels, and MP5) at the Four Dragons and will increase Luck and an extra $100,000. **Please refer to the San Andreas IGN strategy guide for all Horseshoe locations (you need to be an IGN member to view the guide). And like I mentioned before, I found all 50 horseshoes and I have proof. --ALL PHOTO OPS-- Snapping all the 50 Photo Ops will unlock 4 weapons (SMG, SPAS-12, Sniper, and Grenades) at CJ's garage in Doherty and an extra $100,000. **Please refer to the San Andreas IGN strategy guide for all Photo Op locations (you need to be an IGN member to view the guide). And one more time, I found all 50 Photo Ops and I have proof. --ACQUIRE ALL PROPERTIES-- ZERO RC SHOT Finish Zero's missions to acquire the property WANG AUTOSHOP Finish the "PUNCTURE WOUNDS" mission to acquire the property ABANDONED AIRSTRIP IN VERDANT MEADOWS Finish the "GREEN GOO" mission to acquire the property ALL 3 COURIER SHOPS Finish all Courier deliveries to acquire the property VANK HOFF HOTEL Finish the Valet missions to acquire the property RS HAULING Finish the Trucker missions to acquire the property HUNTER QUARRY Finish the Quarry missions to acquire the property --ALL SAVE HOUSES-- LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: El Corona Willowfield Jefferson Verona Beach Mulholland Dillimore Blueberry Palomino Creek Santa Maria Beach (my personal favorite!)

Tierra Robada Fort Carson El Quebrados LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: Whitewood Estates Prickle Pine Creek Old Venturas Strip Redsands West The Clown's Pocket Pirates In Men's Pants (they should just call it the PIMP Hotel) The Camel's Toe These are all the Safe Houses and Suites that should be purchased in the game. Every single purchase is percentage equivalent so start buying real estate! --------------------------------- ************************* TIME KILLERS ************************* You DO NOT need to do the following missions or mini-games to get 100% (but do them anyway!): --2-PLAYER RAMPAGES LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: Pershing Square Montgomery Idlewood Dillimore SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: Chinatown Las Pasyadus Kings El Quebrados LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: Camel's Toe Royal Casino --POOL TABLE/BARS Playing pool is a great way to waste time. You don't gain percentage for winning or losing. LOS SANTOS: Ten Green Bottles Bar on Grove Street one block from Denise's house SAN FIERRO: Misty's across the Martial Arts gym Lil' Probe Inn past Fort Carson LAS VENTURAS: The Craw Bar near Old Venturas Strip The Casino Floor --VIDEO GAMES Avoid these games as much as possible! GAMES: DUALITY GO GO SPACE MONKEY LET'S GET READY TO BUMBLE THEY CAME FROM URANUS --BASKETBALL You don't score any points for making or missing shots in the court. And besides, CJ can only play solo anyway. LOS SANTOS: Sweet's house Playa Del Seville Madd Dogg's Crib **There are various basketball courts scattered throughout the game, but the ones I mention here are the ones that actually have a basketball ON the court to play with. --GIRLFRIENDS Technically, only Denise and Millie are key girlfriends in the main story but the others don't add to your percentage: WHERE TO FIND: DENISE - from the "Burning Desire" mission MICHELLE - inside the Driving School HELENA - on the balcony of Ammunation in Blueberry BARBARA - at the parking lot outside Police station in El Quebrados KATIE - at the golf course in San Fierro (across Martial Arts gym) MILLIE - from the "Key To Her Heart" mission GIRLFRIEND PREFERENCES: Denise and Millie are your girlfriends by default so there's nothing you can do about it. Michelle, Helena, and Barbara - these three must love fat people because they will NOT go out with CJ if he has too much muscle. Yes, I drove all the way around San Andreas to meet with each of them and got rejected. (No fat = no goddamn punanny) If you want to start a relationship with these girls, you'll need to start eating more junk food. So start binging and purging, tubby bitch! Katie is the only girl (out of the six) who will go out with CJ if he's packing the six-pack. If you spent all your time in the gym getting buff, then Katie is the girl for you. GIRLFRIEND REJECTION PERKS: This isn't really important but you should know that even if you are rejected when you meet Michelle, Barbara, Katie, or Helena, the girlfriend meter in the menu already adds up for each of them and the perks already come into play. What does that mean? Even if these four aren't your girlfriends, meeting with them just once already benefits you. You get free resprays at the Pay N Spray just for meeting Michelle, get out of jail with your weapons intact just for meeting Barbara, get out of the hospital with your weapons intact just for meeting Katie, and I have no idea what kind of punanny you get with Helena. Cool, huh? **Please refer to the Girlfriends FAQ by bloodstorm for more in-depth info about the rewards and benefits of being a playa (or playa-hater)! --DANCING This mini-game earns you cash and unlocks more songs to dance to but doesn't add to your percentage. LOS SANTOS: Alhambra Club in Idlewood SAN FIERRO: Gaydar Club in Queens LAS VENTURAS: I found the dance club but it doesn't have a name anywhere in front of the building. Songs I've unlocked so far (is there anymore than these?): Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr Dre Hollywood Swingin' - Kool & the Gang **See if you can beat my score of 6780. You have to basically make NO mistakes throughout the song to even reach this high. --LOWRIDER COMPETITION Same as the dancing mini-game --HOME INVASIONS Once you complete the mission with that punk bitch, you can do home invasions. You DO NOT need to do this for 100%. The Boxville van is hidden near an apartment complex directly across the Ganton Gym. Enter the van and press R3 when the clock hits midnight to trigger the mission. THE USUAL SHIT YOU'LL BE STEALING: -Televisions (big and small) -VCR's (I think that's what they are) -Game systems -Boomboxes -Stereo systems -Microwaves **Some houses actually have money lying on the floor! How fucked up is that?!? What I also find funny is that every piece of electronics that CJ steals has no plugs or cables and the stereo systems have no speakers. It also would have been cool to jack everything in the entire house and then when you leave the house, a cinematic would show the house owner waking up to see the house completely empty! Oh well. --TRIATHLON There are two competitions only on weekends that can garner lots of cash but still doesn't add to your percentage: #1: SANTA MARIA BEACH: BEAT THE COCK PRIZE: $10,000 #2: PALOMINO CREEK: BEAT THE COCK PRIZE: $10,000 or $20,000 **Thanks to all the people who submitted their strategies. What I'll post here are just pre-requisites for the contest. The rest you can figure out on your own. COCK PRE-REQUISITES: --Max MUSCLE (80%-90% muscle is fine) --Max STAMINA --Max CYCLING SKILL TIP #1: When the countdown begins, rapidly tap the X button to get a headstart when the contest begins. Run in between the contestants and head to the water (you're purposely cutting them off). If done correctly, you'll be in first place before you even swim to the first red marker. TIP #2: During the Cycling part, keep tapping X for lots of speed. When heading downhill, release the X button and let CJ coast. Look behind you occasionally to see if the Cock is behind you. There are no tricky or sharp turns in either race so don't worry, it's all straightforward cycling. TIP #3: When you reach the last Cycling marker, jump off the bike! DO NOT USE THE BRAKES! As soon as CJ jumps out, start running. To get max running speed from CJ, rapidly tap the X button. Holding the button will make CJ run but tapping it will make CJ sprint. NEVER SLOW DOWN FOR BREATH! It's you or that bitch Cock. --BEEFY BARON WHERE TO FIND: Enter red marker in Zero's RC Shop You can make extra cash destroying TopFun Vans but it still won't add to your percentage. --GAMBLING Playing these games doesn't count towards your percentage but can garner lots of cash and raise your LUCK: BLACKJACK **There's no funnier feeling than losing a million dollar bet in one hand. Just listen to CJ scream "THIS IS BULLSHIT!" when he blows the bet and laugh your ass off. INSIDE TRACK BETTING ROULETTE SLOTS VIDEO POKER WHEEL OF FORTUNE CASINO LOCATIONS: The Four Dragons Caligula's Palace The Casino Floor Now that I think about it, every casino in Las Vegas should have James Brown music playing in the background. --GANG WARS Believe it or not, acquiring more territory DOES NOT add to your percentage. It only increases the amount of cash received back at the Johnson House. TIP: You should have 53 total territories seized before heading to San Fierro. Acquiring all territories boosts your RESPECT meter by 75%. After the "HOMECOMING" mission, all territories you gained will be lost and you'll have to acquire them all over again! --ALL UNIQUE STUNT JUMPS For the first time in a GTA game, USJ's DO NOT count towards your percentage. There are over 70 USJ's and are pretty tricky to find. LOS SANTOS COUNTY JUMPS (28 jumps total): El Coro 1 Conference 1 Willowfield 2 Jefferson 3 Ocean Docks 4 East Beach 2 LS Airport 3 Market 1 Mulholland 3 Rodeo 1 Vinewood 1 Commerce 1 Montgomery 1 Santa Maria Beach 1 Fisher's Lagoon 1 Dillimore 1 Palomino Creek 1 SAN FIERRO COUNTY JUMPS (30 jumps total): Mount Chiliad 1 Angel Pine 1 Whetstone 1 Blueberry 5 Panopticon 2 Santa Flora 1 San Fierro 1 Downtown 1 Battery Point 1 Esplanade East 1 Doherty 2 Juniper Hollow 1 Carlton Heights 1 Juniper Hill 1 Financial 1 Easter Basin 1 EB Airport 2 Foster Valley 1 Las Pasyadas 2 (jumping over a large chicken!) Verdant Meadows 1 Arca Del Peste 1 Valle Ocultado 1 LAS VENTURAS COUNTY JUMPS (12 jumps total): Emerald Isle 5 The Camel's Toe 2 Creek 1 Redsands West 2 Julius Thruway Freeway past Emerald Isle 1 Randolph Industry 1 That's all 70 jumps. Each successful jump garners you $500 each time. The amount will never go higher than that. I won't go into details for each one but hopefully someone will write an FAQ soon! ----------------------------------- MISSIONS ON AN UNDERCOVER COP There are 187 missions in the entire game can you believe it? Each Main story and Side mission that is percentage equivalent adds up 0.53% to the 100% total in the menu for each mission passed. This means you get 1 full percentage point for passing every two missions. All Time-killers are exempt from the fraction. I won't break it down but you get the idea. **Information contributed by Craig Kostelecky, creator of the GTA: Liberty City Mod for PC. ************************ 100% COMPLETION JUNK ************************ So you read this long-ass FAQ but you only wanted to know one thing: what the hell do you get for beating GTA: San Andreas, right? Well, I'll tell you! Here's what you get: --Cash and stats are boosted --Hydra Fighter Jet spawns on the roof of Sweet's house (you gotta see it to believe it!) --Rhino Tank spawns under the bridge across CJ's house on Grove Street --Infinite Ammo (although it doesn't tell you) **I also have large screencaps of the Hydra and Rhino at Grove Street if you'd like to see it. I also went all over San Andreas to see the benefits of achieving 100% and guess what, you don't get shit! No extra stuff or additional junk! TOTAL BULLSHIT! Unless you REALLY need some Military vehicles at the house on Grove Street, don't rush yourself to get 100% like I did (that's just my suggestion). *********************** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *********************** Due to the overwhelming amounts of e-mails I've been receiving regarding gameplay, it has been impossible for me to answer every one of them. So I decided to post the most asked questions in this section to clarify the FAQ and put a few rumors to rest. Q: If I use cheat codes, will it affect my save? A: There are some codes that cannot be deactivated once entered (like riot mode). Those codes affect the overall game but NOT the save itself. Whoever started this "using cheat codes affects your percentage" bullshit should be shot in the forehead for being so goddamn stupid! I used cheat codes in all three GTA games and I STILL got 100%, so there you go! Go ahead and use all the codes you want. It worked for me and it should work for you! Q: Do I need to pass all the schools with GOLD for 100%? A: No. As long as you pass all the tests with Bronze, you'll be fine. But if you want to unlock more cool stuff, pass them with SILVERS or GOLDS. Q: I can't fly my airplane high enough! Why?!? A: When you takeoff from the ground, press the R3 button to put up the landing gear. This will take weight off the plane and allow it to gain altitude. If only this were the case for that damn Hydra Fighter Jet! Q: I skipped all the "Yay courier" missions from Cesar because I'm busy doing other shit! Am I screwed from percentage? A: NO, absolutely NOT! You can skip all his calls and still get 100%. I have confirmed it and it's true! Go ahead and breathe that sigh of relief! Q: Do I really need to steal $10,000 worth of stuff during Home invasions? A: No, you DO NOT need to do Home Invasions. Unless you really need some cash, don't bother with this. I repeat, DO NOT DO HOME INVASIONS! Q: How do I recruit gang members? A: First you need a lot of Respect in the Respect meter to even recruit anyone. After the "DOBERMAN" mission, acquire all the territory you can to boost the Respect meter. As you gain more Respect during the acquiring of territory, a pop-up on the screen will tell you that you can now recruit gang members. The amount of members increases as far as 7 members per recruitment. To recruit, target (press R1) a Grove family member in green and press UP on the D-Pad. If done correctly, you'll hear CJ say "Grove Family for life! You down?", or something similar to that. Q: Why is Millie never home? A: I encountered the same thing. I had to fool around Las Venturas for a LONG while before she gave CJ a call for a second date. All I can say is to read the Girlfriends FAQ by bloodstorm for more info about the "special date" with Millie that will guarantee her to always be available. Q: Where is the 54TH territory for gang wars? A: It's hidden all the way in Bayside Marina north of San Fierro. It's the area where the Boating school is located. Q: Do girlfriends count towards 100%? A: Technically no. But you need to pass the "BURNING DESIRE" mission (with Denise) and the "KEYCARD TO HER HEART" (with Millie) to get percentage. The other four girls are only for playas! Q: Why can't I do the Triathlon? A: You can only do the Triathlons on Saturday or Sunday and if you have enough muscle on that skinny gangsta ass. Once you get some muscle and stamina, head to the red marker at the beach on the required day. Good luck beating that cock-smoking cock! Q: Do you have any tips for the "SUPPLY LINES" mission for Zero? A: Oh my god, I REALLY wish I did! It took me almost 20 tries to get the damn thing done right and I STILL don't have anything solid. But I'll accept user-submitted strategies if anyone's willing to share them. Q: What is the name of the GTA3 guy? A: SPOILERS! After the "END OF THE LINE" mission, CJ will receive a gratuitous phone call from Catalina. She screams the name "Claude" in mid-orgasm on the phone while CJ screams "CATALINA, YOU SICK!" Could that be a clue...? Q: Where do I find Bigfoot and Leatherface? A: What the fuck is this Bigfoot and Leatherface shit? I've played this game for almost 200 hours and have never encountered this. Can someone clear this up for me because I don't get it! Q: Do you have a shorter, printer-friendly version of this guide? A: Yes, I finally do and it's right beneath this section. Q: I can't find a certain Oyster, Horseshoe, Tag, Photo Op! A: E-mail me and I'll explain how I can help you find it. ************************ COK-O-POPS! ************************ I decided to do a little exploring at the beginning of the game. Did you know that there's bunch of things CJ can accomplish before he even starts his very first mission "BIG SMOKE"? You can even go to San Fierro or Las Venturas via the hard way (swimming). Here's a list of things you can do as soon as the opening scene begins with CJ in Balla territory: --Save houses: all save houses in the Los Santos area can be purchased right from the start (but not anything outside Los Santos city limits) --All vehicle missions: Taxi, Vigilante, Pimping, Firefighter, Ambulance, and Home Invasions --All three Courier missions in all three counties --All 4 Arena missions in all three counties --All Unique Stunt Jumps --Pool tables --2-player Rampages --Nightclubs --24-7 food marts --Triathlons (although you'd be too skinny before the game allows you to compete) --Gambling: The Four Dragons and Caligula's Casino are open right from the start. You can gamble all you want but some tables only accept high rollers. --All 100 Tags (you unlock 4 weapons inside the house yet you can't access them until the "RYDER" mission!) --All 50 Photo Ops --All 50 Horseshoes --All 50 Oysters --BMX Challenge --NRG-500 Challenge --Chiliad Challenge --Food and drinks: CJ can access vending machines and Chilidog vendors on the street but not the fast food joints --Cap a crack dealer: if you need lots of extra paper, cap a crack dealer. He's wearing a black mesh shirt, black leather pants, and black bandanna with bling around his neck. You'll get anywhere from $1000- $5000 easily for each capped dealer. The following things AREN'T available until a certain part of the game: --Story missions: No shit, Sherlock! --Ammunation: sorry, no weapons for you! --Gyms: you can't develop any muscle this early but you can still lose health from hunger. --Fast food restaurants: you'll have to rely on the Chilidog vendors at the beach or vending machines for food this early in the game --Clothing stores: you're stuck with CJ's white tank top and blue sagging jeans --Save houses: save houses in the country, San Fierro, the desert, and Las Venturas aren't available for purchase until you unlock that area in the storyline. (The property will show up as a red icon on the map.) --Freight train: if you jack a train this early and try to head to San Fierro or Las Venturas, the train will automatically stop at the roadblock. Weird. --Airplanes: all planes are locked at all airports and there's nothing you can do about it. --Trucking --Quarry --Schools (obviously) --Airports: the game won't allow you to fly to other counties because the machine is "OUT OF ORDER". Yeah, right! --Gang wars: you can start scuffles with other gangstas on the street but you'll get nothing out of it (except "paper" and guns). --Lowrider competitions Now that you know what you can and can't do, go and get an early start! AND NOW..... ************************* 100% COMPLETION PRINTER-VERSION CHECKLIST ************************* I had to play the whole game TWICE to confirm everything in this list (100% in both tries, almost 150 hours of my life down the drain).
