Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - page 3

Vehicles
Admiral: Damage-proof:
Play the Guardian Angels mission. Fail the mission and take the Admiral that your associates arrived in.
It is dent and bullet proof.

After you pass or fail the Guardian Angels mission, go to the white car to the right of the stairs that you
will go back down. This car is bulletproof, fireproof, and damage proof. However, if it flips upside down it
will explode and will still cause you to drown if driven into water.

It is possible to obtain this car after passing the Guardian Angels mission. After you pass the mission,
Diaz turns left and he disappears, leaving the Admiral in the middle of the intersection.

When you are about to complete the Guardian Angels mission by entering the pink circle, shoot Diaz's
car. When Tommy asks "Where's Lance?", turn left and Diaz's car will be there without him inside.

Admiral: Black:
Do the Check Out At The Check-In phone mission. Before you start the mission, get a Rhino and put it
in a garage at Sunshine Autos. Then, kill the man and take the package. Get a car and go to the Pay 'N'
Spray at Sunshine Autos. Then, get the Rhino in your garage and blow up one of the Admirals. Push it
into your garage and you will have a pitch black Admiral.

Ambulance: Ride on top:

When somebody dies near you, an ambulance will soon appear. Before it starts to leave, jump on it and
stay there to get a ride through the town. When the ambulance reaches a red light and a car is in front
of it, the ambulance will hit the car and you will start to get thrown off. To prevent this, move towards the
center of the ambulance. The same thing will happen when the ambulance is going around a corner.

Angel:
Go to the Greasy Choppers Bike Club in Downtown to find the patriotic Angel motorcycle.

Baggage Handler:
Behind Escobar International Airport is a pile of luggage with a car that resembles a Caddy. This is the
Baggage Handler. There is also one on the side of the airport.

Barracks O.L.:
Get your wanted level to six stars. The army troops will arrive in Barracks O.L.s.

BF Injection: Flip and spin in the air:

Enable the "Full health", "Car floats on water", and "Better driving skills" codes. Drive into the sea and
press R3 or L3 in the water to do a jump. When you are upside down in the water, press R3 again. If
timed correctly, your BF Injection should fly into the air, performing flips and spins.

Blood Ring Bangers:

After winning the Destruction Derby at Hyman Stadium, two Blood Ring Bangers will be parked outside.
Once you exit the stadium, go to the right. Thenm walk around the stadium until you see the first
parking area. There will be two Blood Ring Bangers. They will respawn if you destroy them, and will be
at that same place forever. Each time you find those cars, they will change in number, color, and/or
graphic design.

Caddy:
Go to Escobar International Airport and go straight around the terminal to find a Caddy.
 Get outside the golf course on the road for the main entrance. Walk on that road in front of the main
entrance, constantly looking at the street next to it. When you see a Caddy coming in the distance, run
in the direction its going to cut him off. If you run out of energy, shoot at the Caddy with a pistol. The
driver should get out and run away.

Jack a Caddy while in the Leaf Links golf course. There is a ramp to the right of the entrance of the golf
course off a paved road/walkway. It will take you to the entrance outside of Leaf Links. You can get any
of your weapons back that you had to drop to enter Leaf Links by doing this.

Go to the lighthouse in the Ocean Beach area. Before you cross the bridge, you should see a Rampage
icon to your left next to a big huge bush near the street. After you cross the bridge, walk up to the first
or second bush to your right. If you look very close, you may be able to see something there. Stand
next to the bush and press Triangle (PlayStation2) or Y (Xbox). Tommy should immediately run inside
the bush and hop in the hidden Caddy. Note: There is also a Hidden Package on the steps to the
lighthouse.

Enable the "Car floats on water" code then get in a Caddy at Leaf Links. Drive it into the ocean and just
head towards the beach at Vice Point or Washington Beach.

Caddy: Drive out of the golfing area:

In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Dodo car" code. Steal a golf cart (Caddy) and drive towards the
exit area (where the view is from a security camera). Instead of going in that area, go up the grass hill
to the left of the stairs. Fly over the house by pressing Analog-stick Down. Try to avoid the windows
which pop out and stop you from flying. If you make it on the roof, go right or left immediately to avoid
the big pillar then continue down to the street. This may be difficult at first, but can be done with some
practice.

Steal a Caddy, then take it to the building where you first entered. Drive it off to the right, where there is
a ramp you can take to get onto the street outside of Leaf Links.

Caddy: Front flips and barrel rolls:

Enable the "Better driving skills" code and steal a Caddy from somewhere. When going fast enough,
press R3 to jump. As soon as you land, press R3 again to do a front flip. Some practice may be
required to get the correct timing. To do a barrel roll repeatedly, jump it three times and when it starts
rolling over, turn the wheels in the opposite direction that you are rolling. Keep the wheels turned, then
it will keep rolling over.

Cheetah:
Go to the docks behind the warehouse (where the party boat is located) and look around for a Cheetah.
This car respawns often. If you steal it too much, it may not spawn for a long time.

Cheetah: Variations:
Look at the mirrors on the Cheetahs. Some of them only have a mirror on the driver's side door and are
higher. The others have two mirrors, mounted lower.

Cheetah, FBI:
The FBI Cheetah can be found on the left side of the map at the police station near the bottom at about
21:00 until 1:00.

Coach: Easy money:

Hijack a Coach bus. You can ride around town and look for the bus stop signs. You will make $5 for
each person you pick up. Sometimes you can even wait at the bus stop and people will start entering
the bus.

Coach: Ride with cops:

Go to a bus stop and wait for a bus. Get in and kill the driver. Attract the police, get them near the door,
then go in. The police will enter with you but you will not get caught.
 Coach: Easier getaway from cops:
If you are running from the cops, hijack a Coach. Even though they are very slow, they are very big and
can withstand a lot of damage. The police cars cannot stop it or make it spin out. Unfortunately, when
the bus catches on fire, it takes a long time to get out of it, and there is a good chance that you will get
wasted.

Coach: Drive with many women:

Enable the "Tommy groupies" code and get a Coach. Let women get in with you. If you exit the bus, all
the women that were riding with you will get off and follow you.

Coast Guard boat:

Go to the bridge leading from Starfish Island to Little Haiti. Go down the road until you see the first big
boat. Look for a small strip dock. Go to the end and look in the water. You should see a different looking
boat; just fall off onto it.

Once you unlock the second island, go to Vice Port and go to the place where you meet Rico (from the
Cuban mission Naval Engagement). Go onto the docks heading north. You will see a wire from the
water. Go near it and enter the boat. You should now be in the Coast Guard boat.

Cuban Hearse: Fire on wheels:

In the PlayStation2 version, jack a Cuban Hearse. Hold R1 + X and look at the back tires. There will be
fire coming out of the wheels.

Cuban Jetmax:
Buy the shipyard in Vice Port for $10,000. The boat will respawn there and will be yours for the taking.

Deluxo:
To get the Deluxo, you must first purchase Sunshine Autos. Go down to where all of the garages are
and look for one with a dry-erase board next to it. This board indicates what cars you need to bring to
that garage. Once you bring in all of the cars, you will receive the Deluxo and Sunshine Autos will also
begin making money for you.

Dirt Bike:
You can find a Dirt Bike in the alley near Ken Rosenberg's office in Washington Beach.

Enforcer: Free armor:

Steal an Enforcer and you will get full armor instantly.

FBI Rancher:
Get your wanted level to five stars. When the FBI arrives, they will do so in a FBI Rancher.

FBI Washington:
Go downtown to the Well Stacked Pizza. Go to the nearby alley (the south alley shaped like a near
perfect square on the map). Look around to find a black Washington. If it is not there, then drive away a
distance (like to Hyman Memorial Stadium) then return. If not, do it again.

Gang Burrito:
The Gang Burrito is located on Prawn Island. It is a red van with a red spoiler.

Hotring Racer:
Complete the fourth and final list of cars at Sunshine Auto.

You can unlock the Hotring Demolition Derby cars by successfully completing all three events in the
stadium. The two cars will be parked over by the left side of the stadium.

Hotring Racer: Third type:

Go to Sunshine Autos after the asset is fully completed. Take the racer from the showroom, then use
 the codes to spawn Hotring Racers 1 and 2. Line them up and compare them to see that there are in
fact three different Hotring Racers.

Hunter:
Once you have completed the Keep Your Friends Close mission, a Hunter will be available at the back
of Fort Baxter Air Base near the airport. To get it, either use the police uniform which is unlocked after a
certain mission is completed (located at the Washington Beach police department, inside the locker
room to the left of the entrance), or simply fly a helicopter high overhead to the back of the base, then
quickly land and get in the Hunter.

Get a helicopter and get your wanted level to two stars. Go to Fort Baxter Air Base. You should see the
Hunter in the back, where its fenced in. Bail out when you are directly over the Hunter. Get in and
repeatedly enable the "Health" code to recover from the soldiers that are shooting at you. Get airborne
and fly out of there.

After collecting all 100 hidden packages, the Hunter will be available at the helipad in the Ocean Beach
area at the southern tip of the first island.

Go to the police station in Washington Beach (located about three blocks south of the Malibu Club).
Walk inside, turn left to the locker room and get the uniform there. Note: It only appears there after the
Copland mission has been completed. Go into Fort Baxter Air Base. The military will then not consider
you an enemy, and thus not fire. Break the barricade at the base and immediately go north (left). You
will see stairs there. Get out, climb up those stairs, and run towards the catwalk for the building that you
are in. Go through the catwalk and down the stairs on the other side of the fence (that contains the
Rhino). You need to be able to reach the high guard tower (or that area). Once you are close to the
guard tower, run to the obstacle course, then all the way across it. When you are at the other side,
make a left turn and go through the gate.

Once you complete the story missions, look in the Ocean Beach area at the house near the docks of
the Cortez missions. It has a helipad, which should now spawn a Hunter. You no longer need to run
around in Fort Baxter Air Base to get it.

To get the Hunter easier, complete the game, get the usual police uniform, and enable the "Pedestrians
riot" code. When you fly overhead, the soldiers guarding Fort Baxter Air Base will be too busy killing
each other to cause too much trouble.

In the PlayStation2 version, once in the Hunter, press R3 to begin Brown Thunder vigilante mission.

Play the All Hands on Deck mission and get to the part where the bridge is blocked off. Note: Do not
unblock the bridge as it will give you as much time as you want to get the Hunter. Wait until two
Maverick helicopters appear and destroy them. A Hunter will appear and shoot at you. As it makes
passes over the ship to attack you, shoot the pilot through the cockpit windows. The pilot will fall out of
the helicopter. If done correctly, the Hunter should land on the ship perfectly. If it spun out on the ship,
quickly get in the Hunter and enable the "Health" code to fix it. Fly it to the docks, land, fail the mission
by using a manual aimed gun (sniper rifle preferred) to shoot Cortez. The game should restart at the
docks and the Hunter should be where you landed. Note: If you use the Hunter to pass the mission, you
end up in a Speeder boat upon completion.

Use the following time-sensitive trick to get a Hunter without any codes. Wait just outside the Fort
Baxter Air Base in a helicopter over water at 6:50. Begin a run, then just land and take the Hunter. The
Army appear to be sleeping at this time.

Hunter: Weapons:
In the PlayStation2 version, while in the Hunter, press R1 to fire the minigun mounted on the front or
Circle to fire two rockets from the wings.
Christopher Jensen.
 Hunter: Saving at hideout:
Acquire a property with a large garage, such as the Hyman condo. Get the Hunter and take it to the
Hyman Condo. Fly down from above to the western-most garage. Make sure this garage is empty.
There should be enough space for you to fly down. Place it on the ground, positioning it so that its
winglets are exactly parallel to the garage doors and can easily pass through it. If you find it difficult to
place the Hunter in this position because of the limited space, get out of it and push it to this position.
Push it up to the garage door, then place yourself behind a winglet and push it into the garage. Push it
all the way to the end until it cannot go any further. Exit the garage and the Hunter will be inside. To get
it out, simply push it in the opposite direction and out of the garage. Try experimenting with different
garages to see how it works. If the garage is big enough, it should fit nicely.

Infernus: Mall appearance:

Destroy most of the cars in the multistory car garage at Northpoint Mall. When you return, most of the
cars will be replaced with Infernuses.

Love Fist Limo:

Start the Love Fist mission Psycho Killer in Downtown. Then, drive it into one of your garages. The
Sunshine Autos car showroom or Hyman Condo are your best choices.

Maverick:
Steal a vehicle and drive it through the front doors of the Vercetti Estate and a Maverick helicopter will
appear on the helipad on the roof.

Moonbeam: Two wheel bonueses:

A good vehicle to get two-wheel bonuses in is the Moonbeam. Get up to speed and start turning left,
right, left, right, and so forth and you will go up on two wheels. Then, you just need to balance, which
just requires some practice.

Oceanic: Drive on two wheels:

Get in an Oceanic and reach top speed. Then, on a turn, hold Square + Left or Right. The Oceanic will
get on two wheels. To get back on all four wheels, just press in the opposite direction.

Patriot:
To get the Patriot from Grand Theft Auto 3, go to the movie set located on the top middle island of your
map You can either buy the set or you can just get in a motorcycle and do a jump over the wall.

Go to Phil Cassidy's trailer in Little Haiti. Enter and you will see a trailer. Look left to see a building-like
garage. A Patriot is parked inside.

Hijack a fire truck and do a few firefighter missions. A Patriot will be one of the cars that are on fire. If
there are people in it, you must put them out or else the car will explode.

To get this car at the very beginning of the game, get any car. After the intermission sequence when
Tommy's friends get shot, go south to the Pay N' Spray. Then, go to the gas station slightly north of it.
Get the hog. Then, go north to the mall and go through the shortcut that has a bribe in it. Take the
bridge right down until you reach the bottom. Next, go through all the ramps until you get to the studio
from the top ramp. Get the Patriot from the back of one of the buildings. Because the gate is closed,
ride the patriot to where you will find a truck with a ramp. Take the truck to the main gate (with the hole
on the top). Put it straight, and then ride the Patriot onto the ramp, charge up, and go straight to the
truck. It will take the Patriot through the hole and it will land outside of the studio.

PCJ 600:
Go to Vice Point and find the Standing Vice Point building near the beach. Drive along the sides of the
building across the street from the makeshift ramp to find a PCJ 600.

Across from Greasy Choppers Bike Club in Downtown, break the window in the bike shop to find a PCJ
600. If it is not there, drive down the road a short distance and return.
Drive to the docks where you usually get the missions from Cortez. In between the two gates is a PCJ
600. Note: It may not be there always. If it does not appear, go down the street and return later. It will
be a different color each time.

After dying, you will return to the hospital. Go behind the hospital and go through the bushes. You will
now be in a open area. Run diagonally and jump onto the road. Stay to the right until you see a
sidewalk leading to the harbor. Take the sidewalk and stay to the right. You will soon see a PCJ 600.
Note: The color of the bike changes each time.

PCJ 600: Stunt bonuses:

Get a PCJ 600 and go down the road, but not too fast (slightly over the speed limit). Then, pop a
wheelie behind a car. If done correctly, you will wheelie over the car, and sometimes get stunt bonuses.

In the PlayStation2 version, go to the Malibu Club with a PCJ 600. When exiting out of the Malibu Club,
go right to the grassy area. Build up as much speed as possible and hit the jump besides the bridge.
When you hit it, press Down + Left. If you hit a tree you will get a triple insane stunt bonus.

Drive a PCJ 600 directly at a wall. Do a wheelie just before your hit. If you get the correct height in your
wheelie, you will do crazy trick up and off the wall.

PCJ 600: Ride on roof:

Drive a PCJ 600 to the Hyman condo. Drive it into the staircase. You will now be able to drive the bike
around or jump off the edge.

PCJ 600: Tire marks on wall:

In the PlayStation2 version, take a PCJ 600 to a wall, then back up about 30 feet. Go as fast as you
can and press Left Analog-stick Down about 10 feet away. If done correctly, there will be tire marks
on the wall.

PCJ 600: Drive faster:

In the PlayStation2 version, when you are driving the PCJ 600, lightly press the Analog-stick Forward.
Tommy will lean down and you will go faster.

Phoenix:
You can always find a Phoenix at Starfish Island. Find the house with the Comet. Go back to the main
road with a motorcycle (or walk) and take a right (on the sidewalk). Go down past the front yard fence
to the first house. Keep walking until u see a alleyway and turn into it. Go to the end of the alley, then
look to the right to find an opening to the house's backyard (by a dumpster). Go in it and turn to the
right. You will see a garage. A Phoenix will be inside. After getting in the Phoenix, drive it out of the
garage and go left around the house. You will see a ramp. Jump the car over the fence. Alternately,
enable the "Car floats on water" code.

Police Boat:
Go to the Leaf Links golf club and go towards the second island. Go over to where the land and the
bridge meet on the left side. You will see a Police Boat at the bottom in the water.

In the PlayStation2 version, drive around until you see a boat with a green hull labeled "POLICE". Kill
the police office and hop in it. Press Circle while in the boat to fire its machine gun.

Enable the "Car drives on water" code. Drive around on the water until you find a Police Boat. Crash
the boat until you get to the shore. Jump on the boat and kill the cop. Push the boat on the water and
jump in. Note: The boats and cars might catch on fire. Also, to get back in you may need to use your
car.

Police Car:
In the PlayStation2 version, to steal a police car, get close to one that has the cop inside. Try to open
the door by pressing Triangle. The cop will try to arrest you and leave the car. When he closes the
door, try to open it and it will be unlocked.
 In the PlayStation2 version, hold X just before you try to open the door of a parked police car and the
door will open. Usually, parked police cars are locked. Note: X must be pressed at the correct time or
this will not work.

Police Cheetah:
Get your wanted level to three stars and ride around. An undercover Cheetah police car will eventually
appear.

Police Maverick:
Go to the police station in the Downtown area. Go around the back ad go up the stairs to find a Police
Maverick.

Go to the Downtown area police department. You should see an alley. Go into the alley and you should
see stairs. Climb them and you should see a board that resembles a ramp. Go up it and you will see a
helicopter. Get in it and press the R to go up or L to go down. Use the Right Analog-stick to rotate and
the Left Analog-stick to steer.

Police Maverick: Easy kill:

It is easy to kill a police helicopter with a sniper rifle. Aim at the cockpit windows and fire at six or more
times.

When the Police Maverick comes after you, get a short distance away from it. Take out a sniper rifle
and zoom in fully. Aim and fire at the rod between the top blades and the helicopter. In one hit, it will
explode.

Pony: Black:
Do the Loose Ends phone mission. Kill everyone, but do not finish the mission. Go get two Packers and
drive them both as if you are playing leapfrog or else they will disappear. Park one of them in front of
the gate that you came in. Drive the other Packer up its ramp so that it goes over the gate. Next,
position this Packer so that you can drive the black Pony up the ramp and over the gate. Drive it to a
garage and return. If you are lucky, the Packer did not disappear and you can also get a pitch black
Admiral.

Pony: Missing bumper:

Get a Pony and crash it to were the front bumper falls off. Take it to a Pay 'N' Spray. After it has been
painted, look at the front bumper again. It will not be there, even after being repaired.

Rhino:
Instead of getting 90 hidden packages, go to Sunshine Autos and cause mass destruction. Sniper and
shoot from the top level until you get six stars and a Rhino appears. Wait until the soldiers get out, then
jump out the window. Get in your new tank and park it in the garage. You can now either save and
reload, or drive as normal into the Pay 'N' Spray.

Find a sniper rifle and a good vantage point. Kill people and destroy cars until that your wanted level is
all the way up. When the tanks appear, use the sniper rifle and snipe the army from the front window.
The will fall out of the doors. Run for the tank and get in.

Purchase the Hymann Condo, and keep the large garage empty. Do the "Sir, Yes Sir" mission from
Cortez. When the convoy stops for doughnuts, jump in the tank, and turn around, heading for the
Hymann Condo. Make sure you have full health and armor. Plow through the police vehicles and drive
the Rhino into the garage. Jump out of the Rhino, and stand next to it. When the Rhino explodes, get
up and back out of the garage (while still facing the garage). Let the garage close, then open it again.
The Rhino will be intact, and ready for use.

Rhino: Flying:
In the PlayStation2 version, get a Rhino either through the code or from Fort Baxter. Enable the "Dodo
car" code and turn the turret backwards. Note: Enable "Car floats on water" code" in case you land in
the water. Find a long main road, then accelerate and press Circle at the same time. This will make the
 tank get faster until you finally take off. Hold Left Analog-stick Down to make the vehicle get higher.
You can occasionally get on top of some skyscrapers, depending on the height of the buildings.

In the PlayStation2 version, to make a Rhino fly longer than usual, enable the "Car floats on water" and
"Dodo car" code. Go into the water, turn the turret so it is facing backwards, then make the tank fly by
holding Down or Left Analog-stick Down. You can do this on land, but it is easier on water as there is
more space, After it is flying, keep pressing Circle. This will make the Rhino fly high by giving it boosts
of speed. You should be able to get so high that you can land anywhere. You can also go higher than a
helicopter can. When you get high enough, you can stop pressing Circle and it will fly without shooting.
You can do a flip by shooting while holding Down or Left Analog-stick Down.

Rhino: Shoot out of water:

Drive a Rhino into the water, and before you drown, enable the "Car floats on water" code. Your tank
will immediately shoot out of the water very high and land back on the water, good as new. Use this
when a boat is passing and to land on and destroy it.

Rhino: Destroying them:

If you have Rhino Tanks trying to get you, throw Molotov Cocktails at them. About five to ten cocktails
will destroy the tank. Or, if you rather risk dying, use the flamethrower instead. You can also kill both
driver and passenger in the tank.

Rhino: Kill tank drivers with gun:

If you have a sniper rifle, take aim at the Rhino. Aim it just directly below the turret, in front of the tank.
You will see the head of two soldiers inside. Snipe the one of the right, as that is the driver. The one on
the left will either exit (then shoot you) or take driver seat and drive. You can use other various guns as
well, if you have good aim and timing.

Romero's Hearse:
Do the Two Bit Hit mission for Avery Carrington. Get the Havana costume and a helicopter. Land on the
building opposite the pizza place in Little Haiti. Look down and you should see two Romero Hearses.
The one next to the pizza place will almost always have a coffin in the back. Jump down and take one
to your garage. You can also come back for another Romero Hearse and the black Voodoo. The car will
not always be fixed when you put it in your garage for the first time. Return after the mission and take it
out. When the garage door shuts, drive it back in. It should now be fixed.

Rumpo: Jumping:
The vehicle that can jump best with the "Better driving skills" code enabled is the Rumpo. Enabling the
"Faster game play" code will not make it jump any higher.

Sabre Turbo:
Complete the second list of cars at Sunshine Auto.

Sabre Turbo: Damage proof:

This Sabre Turbo is bullet proof, explosion proof, and flame proof. It can receive damage and blown off
tires but cannot explode, even if flipped over. In order to get it, you must first purchase the Malibu Club
and do the mission called The Driver. In this particular mission, you will be racing Hilary the getaway
driver. He will be the one driving the BP Turbo Sabre. Do the mission and try to stick with Hilary
throughout the race. He does the race nearly perfect. When you get to the end make, sure you have
Hilary in your sights as you let him pass the finish line first. Once you have done this, the "Mission
Failed" message will appear and Hilary will disappear in the Turbo. Enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. The Sabre will be locked. You will have to push it with another car to the nearest Hideout. The El
Swanko Casa or the Links Leaf View apartment are recommended. Push the Sabre Turbo into your
garage and wait for it to close. After that, you have a new BP Sabre Turbo.

It is possible to acquire this vehicle in The Driver mission, although Hilary keeps his door locked during
the race making it unjackable. The race ends back at the Malibu Club. Behind the Malibu Club is a little
bridge. When the race begins, do not race Hilary. Instead, head in the opposite direction to the bridge
south of the Malibu Club. Spawn three Rhino tanks across the bridge and wait for Hilary to appear. He
will try his best to push the tanks out of the way. Quickly spawn a fourth Rhino and crush his vehicle.
With patience, use the Rhino to push the Sabre Turbo into the closest garage (Vercetti Estates). When
your garage door reopens, you will have a brand new bullet and flame proof Turbo Sabre.

Note: After you acquire the bulletproof Sabre Turbo, do not get it resprayed or it will lose its bulletproof
abilities.

Also, if the bulletproof Sabre flips over, it will not explode but will no longer be be invincible any more.
There is another way to get it. When the race first starts, get out of the car, take out the sniper rifle, and
shoot him in the head when he approaching the finish line.

Sanchez: Black:
Go to the dirtbike track in the upper-right hand corner of the Downtown area. Get on the dirtbike and
wait for it to start the mission, but do not go anywhere. After the mission starts, get off the bike. A timer
should appear at the bottom of the screen with the number of seconds you have to get back on the
dirtbike. Wait at the bike until the timer gets to "1", then look around for a group of men who are riding
all black Sanchezs. Shoot one of them and take the bike. Note: After you get off the dirtbike mission, do
not run away. Stay in that area until time runs out.

SandKing:
Complete the third list of cars at Sunshine Auto.

Sea Plane: Faster:

Get the Sea Plane in the air and wait until it gets faster. Then, start doing sharp turns and drops. This
will get it to its maximum speed.

Sea Sparrow:
After unlocking the other side of Vice City and gain Diaz's house from him in the Rub-Out mission,
return to the island you first started on. Go the pizza restaurant near the Leaf Links bridge. Go to the
apartment building near there that has one of the windows open. Go up to the roof. There are two other
flights of stairs in plain sight when you look at the apartment -- this makes it easy to find the correct
location. Go to the north of the roof and jump off onto another roof. Finally, jump off the roof into a yard.
The Sea Sparrow helicopter is located next to the trees. If it does not appear here, leave and return
later. Note: This helicopter can float.

To get the Sea Sparrow without having to get the eighty packages, after completing the InterGlobal
Studio missions, go to the first building you went to on your motorcycle from the G-spotlight mission.
The Sea Sparrow will be on the roof of that building.

Sea Sparrow: Fire minigun:

In the PlayStation2 version, while in the Sea Sparrow, press R1 to shoot the minigun that is mounted to
the bottom.

Securicar: Gruppe Sechs:

Find a Securicar at the docks. Notice that it is marked "Gruppe Sechs" on the back and sides. That is
the phonetic spelling of group sex.

Securicar: Loot:
When you find a Securicar, knock the back doors off. Look at it in first person view. Inside the back of
the Securicar, you will see three boxes marked "Loot".

Sentinel: Black:
Do the Hit The Courier mission at the Print Works. Get a car and wait at the end of the Starfish Island
bridge. Watch in the direction of the courier. You will see two red Sentinels coming at you. Blow them up
and afterwards the black Sentinel with the courier appears. Get a sniper rifle or PSG-1 and keep
shooting at the driver through the windshield. The person will die and drop the plates. Pick them up and
get in Sentinel. Finish the mission and you will now have a pitch black Sentinel.
 Sentinel XS:
Near Escobar International Airport, you will see a sign that reads "Long Term Parking". There is a
sporty-looking Sentinel in the parking lot there that is much faster and better looking than a normal one.

Skimmer:
To get the seaplane, buy the InterGlobal Films studio on Prawn Island for $60,000. After the purchase,
complete Steve Scott's second mission "Dildo Dodo". After you have completed the mission, the
Skimmer seaplane will be available to you at the dock on the west side of the studio (the same dock
where you got the plane for his mission).

Spand Express:
To get the Spand Express, play the game until the Riot mission. Enable the "Car drives on water" code.
Make sure you have at least $14,000. Before doing this mission, drive a car to the Docks and go north.
Buy the Hyman Condo. Set any car on fire, then go in it to commit suicide. You should end up back on
the other side. During the Riot mission, you will have to destroy three Spand Express Cars. Destroy
only two, and drive the third across the ocean to the condo. Put it in the garage. Close the garage and
open it again. Use a gun to destroy the Spand Express to pass the mission. Close the garage door
again and the Spand Express will be back. Commit suicide again to return to Vice City. If desired, you
can keep all of the Spand Expresses by driving each one to the condo, then stealing a car and driving
back to the other side to get the others. Then, blow them all up at once in the large garage.

Spand Express: Gold:

To get the gold Spand Express, play until the Jury Fury mission. Enable the "Car drives on water" code.
Make sure you have at least $14,000. Before doing this mission, drive a car to the Docks and go north.
Buy the Hyman Condo. Set any car on fire, then go in it to commit suicide. You should end up back on
the other side. At some point during the Jury Furymission, a gold Spand Express should ram one of the
jurors, dropping two hammers. Get the juror out of the car and take the Spand Express. Drive it to the
Hyman Condo and put it in the garage. Commit suicide to return to Vice City.

Sparrow:
Go to the Pay 'N' Spray near the mall in Vice Point. Turn so that you are facing south, away from the
mall. Start driving up the road at a slow speed while using your side view to look at the left side of the
street. Not too far down, you will see an archway. Drive into it and take the right into the fence to find
the Sparrow and the Checkpoint Challenge.

Sparrow: Damage and waterproof:

Get the Sparrow helicopter during the G-Spotlight mission next to the building, above the stairs. Take it
to a Pay 'N' Spray fly into it without crashing. The easiest one is at the Sunshine Autos paint shop, due
to its enormous width. Note: The Sparrow is the only helicopter that can fit into a Pay 'N' Spray. After
you paint it, the Sparrow will have wheels. When you enable the "Floating Cars" code, it can now float
on the water like a Sea Sparrow. Additionally, without the downside of those landing rods, it is safer to
land on ground.

Squallo:
Buy the shipyard in Vice Port for $10,000. The boat will respawn there and will be yours for the taking.

Stretch: Gold:
During the Martha's Mug Shot mission, there will be a golden Stretch awaiting Candy. All the doors are
locked. Shoot the driver with a sniper rifle in the head. When he is decapitated, he will fall out the door.
Do not get in. Turn around and shoot Candy before she gets in. After the mission failed message
appears, get into the Stretch and drive towards one of your empty garages. Park it inside and wait for
the door to shut. When it opens, the Stretches door will not automatically close and lock any more.
Note: If you get out of The stretch before you get it into your garage, you will not be able to enter it
again, unless you push it into your garage.

In the Martha's Mug Shot, shoot the driver of the golden Stretch. He will fall out, leaving the door open.
Do not hurt Candy. Instead, let her get in with you. When it drives away after it drops off Candy, the
golden Stretch will stop, and you will not be able to drive it. Get out, but do not allow the door to shut.
Get back in, and you can now drive it to a garage and continue with the mission.
 Taxi: Free rides:
Complete the Kaufman Cabs missions to have Taxis drive you to mission locations or objectives.
Christopher Jensen.

VCN Maverick:
Go to the VCN building in the Downtown area. Go upstairs to find a VCN Maverick.

Voodoo: Hydraulics:
In the PlayStation2 version, to work the hydraulics in the Voodoo, press R3.

In the PlayStation2 version, when in the Voodoo, tap L3 to turn all four hydraulics on or off. You can
also move the Right Analog-stick from side to side to make only your left or right hydraulics work.

Voodoo: Black:
Do the Two Bit Hit mission for Avery Carrington. Get the Havana costume and a helicopter. Land on the
building opposite the pizza place in Little Haiti. Look down, and you should see the pitch black Voodoo.
Jump down and take it to your garage. The car will not always be fixed when you put it in your garage
for the first time. Return after the mission and take it out. When the garage door shuts, drive it back in.
It should now be fixed.

In the Two Bit Hit mission, your objective is to grab a Haitian costume and eliminate the person driving
the hearse. Note that some of the Voodoos that are chasing you are black. When they first spot you,
grab a black Voodoo and high-tail it out of there. Do no respray it. It will return to brown if this is done.
When the Cubans spot you, you can also take a sniper rifle or a bazooka and shoot the designated
target. Then, steal the black Voodoo and dash out of there as fast as possible. Note: If you complete
the mission and somehow flip the car over, sink it, or destroy it, you can never regain the car. If your
garage door is open with the Voodoo in it when you save, all the cars in that garage will be lost.

Zebra:
After completing kaufman cabs missions, the Zebra taxi will appear in Kaufman Cab building, where the
original cab was located.

Buy the Kaufman Cab business and complete the first two missions. Make sure you have a garage to
store a car. On the third mission where you have to pick up Mercedes, go and survive against the
enemy taxis until the Boss appears. The Boss has a black and yellow striped taxi. Catch it on fire so the
driver jumps out. Then, get out of your Kaufman Cab, jump in to the enemy taxi, and enable the "Heath"
code. Make sure you are away from the enemy taxi driver so he does not pull you out of the car. If done
in time, you will have an extra Zebra taxi that seems to be faster and takes a lot more damage than
usual. Be careful to not blow it up, as it will not appear again.

Zebra: Duplicate:
After completing the Kaufman Cab missions, get the Zebra taxi and put it in a garage that you own.
Return to Kaufman Cabs and another one will be there.

Boats: Get early:

In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Cars float on water" code. Drive into the water and the car will
start floating. Find a boat and drive on top of it. Press Triangle and you should land on top of the boat.
The person driving the boat will jump in the water and you can steal the boat.

Cars: Bailing out while driving:

In the PlayStation2 version, to jump out of a car while it is moving, press Triangle + Square. Tommy
will duck and roll and will sustain much less damage than the car.

Cars: Flipping back over:

In the PlayStation2 version, when the vehicle is rolling, sometimes it gets onto its side then flips back
onto its roof. To get your car flipped back over when it is on its side, simply floor the gas and turn the
wheel in the direction the roof is facing. For example, if your car is on its right side, press Left Analog-
stick Right then press X.
In the PlayStation2 version, if your car is on its side and seconds away from tipping over, press the Left
Analog-stick towards the direction the car is falling, and drive in reverse. This should flip your car back
onto four wheels. This is extremely helpful with the Ambulance missions, as it is more top heavy than
normal vehicles.

Cars: Front flip:

In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Better driving skills" code. Drive fast then hold the handbrake
and press L3 or R3. This only works on certain cars (Cheetah recommended). Try jumping over the
parked semis in the boat dock area with the Esperanto. Also, the Esperonto is the highest jumping.

Cars: 360s:
In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Better driving skills" code. Drive fast and making a sharp turn
while pressing L3 or R3.

Cars: Leave door open:

In the PlayStation2 version, exit a car while holding R1. You will not close the door, which can be useful
if you know that you are going to need to get back in quickly.

Cars: Drive inside buildings:

Find a building that has enough space in the door to drive a car into. Slowly drive the car so its front
end is partially in the building. Get out of the car and stand behind its bumper. Hold X to run and push
the car into the building. The car will only go so far in. Once you cannot move the car in any further, go
inside the building. Once inside turn around, and you will see the car. Press Triangle to get in the car
and drive it around.

Cars: Drive with different handling:

In the PlayStation2 version, get in a vehicle (faster one recommended). Press X + Square and the
wheels should begin spinning. Keep spinning the wheels and use the Left Analog-stick to begin doing
a doughnut. When the vehicle has done a 180 (when showing the front, not the back) hold R2 + L2 to
flip to view to the normal, rear view of the car. You can now release X + Square, but continue holding
R2 + L2. You can drive the vehicle in this position. Notice that it handles differently. This may be useful
during certain missions.

Cars: Faster destruction:

Shoot a car in the back near the gas tank and it will light on fire faster.

Cars: Wheelie:
Enable the "Change wheel size" code about five times. Find a car like the Bobcat, Baggage Carrier,
Rancher, or any other car that goes faster than normal. Then, enable the "Better driving skills" code.
When you hit the gas, you will pop a wheelie.

Enable the "Change wheel size" code more than three times. Then, enable the "Perfect handling" code
and go to the runway at Escobar International Airport. Find a Baggage Handler to pop wheelies. You
can also do this trick with a Rancher, Mesa, Landstalker, Caddy, or Patriot.

Cars: Full flip:

This trick works best in a police or sports car. Enable the "Better driving skills" code. Gain a lot of
speed, then hold the emergency brake and immediately press L3. Note: Precise timing is required.

Helicopters: Easy find:

Go to Hyman Condos and buy it. You will get a helicopter every time you go upstairs.

Go to the Downtown district (on the second island). Go to the Downtown police station and you will find
a cop car parked by the street. There will be an alley behind it. Go down the alley and make a right turn.
There will be a stairway there. Go up the stairs to the helipad. There usually is a police helicopter sitting
there.
 From Starfish Island, go towards the Downtown area of Vice City (not to the police station). As you
enter Downtown, go past the man that stands by the motorcycles by The Greasy Chopper and continue
onwards. Go past the first light then look towards the left. There will be a white staircase going up.
Climb up to the top and walk to the other side of the roof. Once at the end, there should be a green
helicopter there. Jump down, then go up the rusted stairs to the helipad. If the helicopter is not there,
leave and return later.

Go towards where Colonel Cortez' yacht is located in Ocean Beach. On the turn off the street to go to
Colonel, turn instead into the grassy area. There will be steps leading up to a helicopter.

Helicopters: Hovering:
In the PlayStation2 version, hold L3 while flying a helicopter-class vehicle to hover. This can be used to
immediately slow down while flying fast.

Helicopters: Drive by shootings:

In the PlayStation2 version, if you have an Uzi, Ingram, or Tec-9, change your camera to the cinematic
view while in a helicopter. You will see Tommy stick his weapon out through the chopper's side window
when you hold L2 or R2 to rotate. Press Circle as usual to fire. Note: You are still going to rotate while
doing this and the cinematic view is not the best in combat situations. It will take an extreme amount of
luck to hit anything when doing this, let alone kill someone. Do not rely on this in a real fight.

It is possible to stay in one spot and shoot out the window of a helicopter, without spinning around...
Press L3 in cinematic view, and hold either L2 or R2 and press Circle. Pressing L3 stops you from
moving and causes the helicopter to hover when you shoot. You will not spin around, making your shots
precise.

Motorcycles: Wheelies:
In the PlayStation2 version, press Down(2) while riding a motorcycle-class vehicle to pop a wheelie.
Press Up(2) while riding to stand.

In the PlayStation2 version, get a PCJ 600. From a stop, press Down and press X. When the
motorcycle is in a wheelie, tap the X rapidly to keep the bike up. This will allow you stay in the wheelie
for as long as desired. This is also a great way to make money.

In the PlayStation2 version, get a moped. Hold R1 + Square + Up until the moped is doing a stoppie.
Hold all those buttons, then hold X. The moped should remain doing a stoppie until you release X.
Note: the moped will slide on its wheel and it will turn. Try controlling it for big cash.

Get a Sanchez or PCJ 600 and go a little faster than traffic. Get behind a slanted back car, such as a
Sabre, and pop a wheelie. Half of the time you can wheelie over the car and get insane stunt bonuses.

In the PlayStation2 version, hold Down/Left or Down/Right, and accelerate on a PCJ 600 or similar
bike to do 180 wheelies quickly.

In the PlayStation2 version, hold Down + X and get to a wheelie level. When you are comfortable with
the height, hold X lightly to remain level and go as far as desired. Note: Wheelies cannot be done if the
"Flying car (Dodo)" code is enabled.

In the PlayStation2 version, get on a Sanchez and start a wheelie. When you are slightly more than
half-way up, release X. Tap X every once in awhile to keep your speed up.

In the PlayStation2 version, gain some speed then press Square + R1 while pressing Forward on the
Analog-stick or D-pad. This will make you slide on your front tire (stoppie). This trick will gain you
between $20 and on average.

In the PlayStation2 version, get a Sanchez. Go to a long straight away, like on the third island. Get to
about half the speed that the Sanchez can do. When you are at half the speed, press Left Analog-
stick Down while still accelerating. When you are half way (or just slightly over) in the air (45 degree
 angle), hold Square while still holding the Left Analog-stick and accelerating. This may take a few
attempts to get the correct height off the ground. You will end up with a perfect wheelie and not have to
keep your balance by tapping back or letting off the gas.

Get a perfect condition Sanchez and get up to about twice the legal speed limit. Pull a wheelie and ride
it until you almost fall off the bike. Let off the gas completely and do not stop holding Down. Within
about ten minutes of practice you will be able to ride a manual on average of 13 to 30 seconds each .
This works best at the Escobar International Airport runway.

Motorcycles: Stoppies:
Choose a dirt bike or sport bike and build up a little speed. If you hit the regular and emergency brakes
at the same time and stand up (Left Analog-stick Up), you can do a stoppie and earn some money.
You can also get extra points for flipping around 180 degrees on the front wheel.

In the PlayStation2 version, for an easy stoppie, press R1 + Square + Up on any motorcycle-class
vehicle. Note: You can do wheelie and stoppie drive by shootings.

In the PlayStation2 version, to do a nose wheelie, get a bullet bike, go very fast, stand up, and hit both
brake buttons (Square + R1).

In the PlayStation2 version, go as fast as you can, then hold R1 + Square + Up. Release R1 when you
are quite high. and you can slide for more money. Note: Stoppies cannot be done if the "Flying car
(Dodo)" code is enabled.

In the PlayStation2 version, get a Faggio (or the pizza boy scooter) and find a alley where there is little
activity. Accelerate to almost top speed then release the gas and press Left Analog-stick Up + Square
+ R1. If desired, press R2 or L2 to view how far you are from the ground. You will flip over if you go too
high. Do not hold the brakes, but release R1 + Square and press X to accelerate. It may be difficult at
first. You will drive forward but with some practice you can do a stoppie for 31 seconds or longer.

In the PlayStation2 version, to do a long stoppie, press R2 then Analog-stick Up. This will cause you
to do a stoppie. To do a very long one, press R2 then Analog-stick Up and press X. You can do this for
a long time.

In the PlayStation2 version, to do a stoppie for a long time, hold Up, then hold R1 + Square. Release
Square and hold X. Then, just keep your balance.

Stand up on a PCG 600 or Sanchez. As you ride, use your brakes and your motorcycle should be on
the front wheel.

In the PlayStation2 version, while riding a Faggio at a fairly fast speed, press Square + R1 + Up. You
should go into a stoppie, and be able to ride it as long as you keep yourself from hitting things.

In the PlayStation2 version, get on a motorcycle (but not the Freeway or Angel). Once on, get some
speed and hold Up to stand up. Keep gaining speed, and hold R1 + Square. It might take a few tries,
but you will do a stoppie. If you have too much speed, you might flip over and wreck.

In the PlayStation2 version, gain some speed then press Square + R1 while pressing Forward on the
Analog-stick or D-pad. This will make you slide on your front tire (stoppie). This trick will gain you
between $20 and on average.

Get on a bike (preferably a PCJ 600 or Sanchez) and get up to speed (for example, down a hill). Hit the
brakes while pressing forward (Analog-stick Up) to initiate a stoppie. This will earn $30 to $100
depending on the time and distance of the stoppie.

When driving around on a PCJ-600 you can pull off stoppies longer then five seconds. To do this, reach
a high speed on the bike then do a stoppie. As you go down to land on two wheels, pull up on the
Analog-stick to do a wheelie. Reach a high speed while doing or trying to do a wheelie and hit another
stoppie. If you land it, the "Stoppie bonus" message will appear, with a time from 4 seconds to over 1
minute). You can do this for as long as desired.

Motorcycles: Backflips:
In the PlayStation2 version, drive a Sanchez, or better yet, a PCJ 600 to the car showroom. Go down
the street to the south. Turn around and drive fast down the sidewalk on your right. When you see the
grass hill on the left, turn sharply into it. Do not use the brake, emergency brake, or let off the gas.
When you hit it, you should be holding Down/Left. You will do insane stunts such as 540 Backflips.
Make sure not to land backwards or you will fall off. Balance yourself with Up and Down for a soft
landing.

Get a motorcycle and slowly drive up to a wall that is on a blacktop surface. Drive up so your front
wheel is touching the wall and gun it. You will do a back flip and not fall off the bike. Sometimes you will
even get money for the trick.

Motorcycles: Quick turns:

In the PlayStation2 version, to do a quick 180 turn on a motorcycle, while driving down the street press
R1 + Square + Down. This will face you in the direction that you were coming from. Note: Do not do
this at fast speeds or you will crash your bike.

In the PlayStation2 version, while going at a fairly fast speed on a PCJ 600, Freeway, or Angel, hold R1
+ Left analog-stick to make a quick 180 degree turn. Be careful -- if you are going too fast, you will fall
off.

Motorcycles: Go faster:
In the PlayStation2 version, you can make any bike go faster. A very long straight section of road is
required, as it is very difficult to steer while going this fast. While driving, press the Left Analog-stick
slightly Up. Tommy will lean forward and you should hear the engine rev faster, along with traffic and
scenery passing by in a blur.

Motorcycles: Abilities:
You can do wheelies and stoppies easier on different motorcycles. For instance, the PCJ600 can pull
wheelies better than any other bike. The Faggio is good for Stoppies.

Motorcycles: Easy passengers:

You can get a passenger on the back of your motorcycle-class vehicles easily. Find one with two people
on it. Knock both people off, and make sure the passenger gets to the motorcycle before the driver
does. Try punching the driver a few times. Do not shoot or the passenger will run away. Once the
passenger gets on, just hop on and ride away.

In the PlayStation2 version, knock the driver off of the motorcycle, but do not kill him. As he begins to
get back on the bike, press Triangle to hop on. You will both be on the bike and you can now ride
around with a passenger.

To get a passenger with you on any type of motorcycle, look for one with two people on it. Carefully
shoot the driver of the motorcycle. Quickly get on the motorcycle and drive away. If you completely stop
at any time, the passenger will get off the motorcycle.

Motorcycles: Steal with leap kick:

Approaching the front of the bike when stealing it. Tommy will leap kick the person off and land right on
the bike. He will also do the same kind of leap onto it, without the kick when doing this to an unattended
bike.

Motorcycles: Easy stealing:

In the PlayStation2 version, this trick requires a gun that can be aimed. When you get close enough to
a motorcycle or dirtbike, stop it with a car or another vehicle then press Triangle to get on. Or, you can
aim one of your guns at the bike and kill the driver.
 Motorcycles: Bailing:
In the PlayStation2 version, when in a motorcycle-class vehicle, you can bail while jumping off a ramp
by pressing Triangle. This is helpful if you are driving a damaged motorcycle and somehow it sets on
fire in the air. This can also used to bail from any out of control vehicle before it lands in water or
crashes. This is useful if you know you cannot stop in time. Note: You may take damage from the bail.

If you are on a motorcycle-class vehicle with a passenger, you will not be able to bail while moving.

Motorcycles: Ride inside buildings:

In the PlayStation2 version, find a building that has enough space in the door for a motorcycle to fit into.
Almost all buildings will qualify. Gather a lot of speed, aiming at the door, and press Triangle to jump off
the motorcycle when you are almost directly in front of it. If done correctly, the motorcycle will go into
the building. Go inside the building to get to the motorcycle.

Motorcycles: Radio station changes after crash:

If you are changing the radio station when you fall off, then get back on the motorcycle, the game will
change the channel back to what you were listening to earlier.

Donuts:
In the PlayStation2 version, stop completely, then press Square + X at the same time and turn left or
right to do a donut in car or motorcycle.

Use the following trick to do easy donuts with any bike (Freeway or Angel recommended). Find a bike
and knock off the rider. Then, use a sniper rifle and shoot out the back tire. If you have a Freeway or an
Angel, you can only shoot the back tire. After you have flattened the tire, ride it then make a sharp turn
to your left or right. You will do a big donut and might bail.

Burn outs:
In the PlayStation2 version, hold Square + X in any vehicle, then release Square.

In the PlayStation2 version, get a rear wheel drive car or a motorcycle. This will not work with front
wheel drive cars such as the Blista Compact. Hold R1 then hold Square + X, while still holding R1. You
will hear the engine rev. Release R1 and the tires will start smoking.

Go for a tour:
In the PlayStation2 version, get any civilian vehicle (no cop cars or taxis). Knock the passenger side
door off the car using a club-class weapon or by scraping it along a wall. Drive around until you find a
carjacker (usually white men in brown leather jackets). Make sure the carjacker approaches the car
from the passenger side. When he starts to get in, drive away. The carjacker will have control of the car,
but you will still be riding along. Sit back and enjoy your free tour of vice City. You will not be able to
shoot or control the car in any way. You can look around by using L2 and R2. To end your tour, hold
Triangle. If the carjacker does something to upset the police, they will bust you as if you were driving.
Also, if the car blows up, you will not die (unless you have low health to begin with) and you will be
trapped inside the car. You will need to enable the "Suicide" code or reload a saved game to continue.

Find any car that has a cargo bed (for example, trucks) and stop it in front of you. Jump on the hood of
the car then run to the back of the car. Pull out a weapon and crouch down in it. Shoot the back of the
driver's compartment without hitting the civilian and the car should speed off. The car should not stop
speeding until you get out of the back. Note: Not all cars will speed off when you shoot them.

Rig a car with a bomb:

Go to the south of Little Havana. In this area are a series of garages, in the place where you fought the
Zebra cab in the Kaufman Cabs asset mission. Go by the water and look at the garages. One of them
will be open and have a picture of a bomb painted like an 8-Ball. Drive your car inside and let the
garage close. Wait a few seconds and it will open. A message will appear, stating that you can just use
the detonator to blow up the car. Get out of the car and the detonator will be selected as your weapon.
 This can also be used to get revenge on car thieves. Get a nice car that a thief on the street would try
to steal. Then, put a bomb in it and press Circle to arm the bomb. Find a thief on the street, and make
sure he walks towards the car to steal it. Get out of the car, shut the car door, then quickly run to a safe
place and watch the car explode with the thief inside.

Load a car on top of another:

You need to have a moving Rancher in front of you to do this trick. You also need an Infernus. Drive
behind a Rancher at the same speed. Using the front of the Infernus like a wedge, it is easy to lift the
Rancher onto the hood. Once its back wheels are on the hood, hammer on the accelerator to full
throttle. This will lift the Rancher straight up onto your roof. If you go fast enough, the car will go over
you. This is useful if you are on a mission and the cops are on your tail, or you are running out of time
where there is a lot of traffic.

Blow out tires:

You can shoot the tires of any vehicle to blow them out.

Fix flat tires:

When you have a flat, enable the "Health" code to fill up the tire again. Note: This will not work when on
a motorcycle.

Better braking and turns:

In the PlayStation2 version, hold R1 for better turns and braking.

Easier street races:

There are two things that are extremely helpful when street racing. First, you do not have to park in the
pink area. Hitting a competitor will start the race automatically. To get an advantage, get some speed in
the direction of the first checkpoint, then just barely nick the lead car as you fly by. They will all be left in
your dust, and probably will not catch up. Secondly, especially for the final race, you may want to block
them off with a giant vehicle, like a Coach or Packer. When coupled with the first trick, you just may win.

The easiest way to win a street race is to enable the "Destroy all cars" code while in the race. Make
sure to get of your car before performing the code, then get another car and drive through all the
checkpoints. Another way is to shoot the cars at the very start of the race.

When you do the street races for Sunshine Autos, get the rocket launcher in the pool behind the Hooker
Inn Hotel and get to the starting grid. Do not enter the pink circle that starts the race. Instead, go in front
of the cars and shoot between the front two cars with the rocket launcher. They will explode. The back
car will get away. Shoot it before it passes you, then get in your car and race by yourself. You will win
every time.

When doing the street races for Sunshine Autos, go behind the big orange building at the yellow striped
intersection on the way to the airport and get the rocket launcher. Go to the starting point and line your
car up just behind the pink circle. Take out the car in the upper-right (number two) position. Hopefully
the blast will take out the other two cars. Either way, you will make the odds a lot better. Alternately, if
you do not feel like shedding blood, you can just clip the upper right car going at top speed to get the
race started.

Start the race, run away from any cars, and enable the "Destroy all cars" code. Then, complete the race
at your leisure. Note: This only works in races where the other people do not have to stay alive.

When doing the Sunshine Auto races, go to the start of each race. Instead of stopping in the circle, ram
the back of the car in front of your start circle. This will allow you to be moving at the start. For a more
interesting way of winning the races, get close to the start grid. Get out of your car, get off the road, and
enable the "Rhino tank" code. Get in the tank, and pull it into the start circle. When the race begins,
shoot the rival cars with the tank cannon. Shoot about three times and they will all explode. The pink
arrows will still be above them. Then get out, get back in your car, and drive through the checkpoints at
your leisure. You must allow the race to be counted down to the start for this to work.
When doing the races for Sunshine Autos, instead of going directly to the marker, turn your car around
and back up into the first and second place cars. Doing this triggers the race and allows you to have an
earlier start in the lead.

Enable the "Dodo car (flying)" code before you begin the race. When the race starts, your opponents
will begin flying and lose control. Note: You should drive only slightly faster than the pedestrian cars.

Go to Sunshine Autos and enter the races by the garage. Get the street bike then enable the "Dodo car
(flying)" code. Motorcycles will not be effected by the code. Your opponents will lift off the ground when
they are driving fast, and you will not.

Park well away from the other three cars and throw a grenade in the middle of them. As soon as you
have thrown the grenade, get in your car because the race will begin when it explodes. If done
correctly, it will be possible to blow up two, or even all three cars. Note: It is best to start from behind
the other cars when doing this. The cars will not explode immediately, but will speed away while on fire.
If you are in front of them, they might explode and cause you damage.

Steal a fast car (Cheetah recommended; it is fast and handles well) and enter any of the street races.
Stop your car a short distance behind the other three competitors (do not go into the pink marker).
Throw a grenade into the middle of the three cars and immediately climb into your car. When the
grenade detonates, the race will start but. If done correctly, one or more of the cars will explode. Note: It
is always best to stop behind the waiting cars. If you park in front the cars will be set on fire, speed
towards you, and may destroy your car when they explode. This trick can also be done with the rocket
launcher.

After geting all the cars for the Sunshine Autos showroom and you start racing, first choose race 6.
Then, get a Sabre Turbo and go out to the starting line. When you start, throughout the race do not go
too fast or slow; just drive normally. Try not to cut the first corner off, or you will flip and your car will
usually explode. Let the other cars go ahead of you; they are going so fast that they will crash many
times and you can eventually just pass them. On the long straight areas are where you can pick up
speed to full power. You should now be in first place after you get through downtown. Finish the race
and you will get $40,000. Note: Do not use the Deluxo. It may be the fastest car but it has no handling.
The Sabre Turbo is best for all races because it is fast and has handling.

Buy Sunshine Autos and complete all four lists. Once you do this, start a race from downstairs and take
the Hotring Racer. You will be able to pass the Infernus, Cheetah, and Banshee by just driving where
they cannot ram the side of your car.

Keep black or pink cars:

Enable the "Black traffic" or "Pink traffic" code. Park any car that you want to remain in that color and
save the game. When you reload, you will have that color car. This does not seem to work on certain
mission cars, such as the taxis. If you already have a car in your garage and wish to make it black,
enable the code, drive into a Pay 'N' Spray and do the same as the above.

Various car appearance determination:

Cars that appear are in the same car class as the car that you are driving. For example, if you drive a
sports car, expect to see sports cars everywhere.

Better off-road capabilities:

Enable the ''Change wheel size'' code a few times and get a car (Phoenix, Banshee, etc.). The wheels
will appear to be bigger and you will have better off-road capabilities and you can run over cars better
then usual. Your car will raise off the ground and Tommy will have to do a small jump to get in.

Meat cargo:
Go to Vice Port. There will be a red van driving around, with R, S, and L Bols on the side. Take it and
reverse into something so the back door falls off. Look inside to see dead meat (cows) hanging from
the roof.

Media coverage:
Get your wanted level to six stars to get your pursuit covered in the media. A helicopter and chase
meter will appear. Keep running from the helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game time will
result in an increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and look at your statistics to see
messages that indicate at your media level. You will start with a story in UFA Today and progress to
television news and continue until it is a crisis.

If you have a bazooka (recommended), rocket launcher, moltov cocktail, flame thrower, or anything that
causes total mass chaos with a decent amount of ammunition, back up to a wall. Try finding a wall that
no one can see you from the left or right. Start launching or burning any cops or pedestrians that you
see. The higher the stars, the more media attention .Note: If you get busted or die, you will not get any
of the media points. At one star, keep shooting or burning any pedestrians or cops. At two stars, start
launching or burning any police cars and "on foot" officers that approach you. At three stars start
launching or burning the cops on foot, the police cars , and the Banshees, Cheetahs, Infernos and any
other fast undercover police cars. At four stars, start launching or burning police cars, on foot cops,
undercover cars, and any S.W.A.T. helicopters (before the S.W.A.T. members lower themselves from
ropes). At five stars, launch or burn anything that moves. At six stars, enable the "Lower wanted level"
code.

Alternate character in FMV sequences:

Enable one of the various character costume codes (not the "Pedestrian costume" code) three or more
times before starting a mission. During the FMV sequences, the character you selected will replace
Tommy. Note: This works best with Candy Suxxx.

Easy weapons:
Free weapons are hidden all over the city. The flamethrower and rocket launcher, are two especially
powerful weapons. They can be found near the boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within
a few game hours. Collect all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout. The game will
advance six hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned. Do this three to five times, and all
your company assets will be close to full, and you can make the rounds to get paid.
In missions where you get a new weapon, fail it intentionally after getting the weapon. You will be able
to get it over and over again by repeating this step.

Cheaper weapons:
Use the following trick to get expensive weapons for cheap prices. Go to the first Ammu-Nation in
Ocean Beach (with the cheapest prices for weapons) and buy all the machine gun and shotgun
ammunition desired. Afterwards, go to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and buy the weapons in the
same category (the machine gun and shotgun). Only purchase the guns one time each. When you do
that, all the ammunition you have with your cheap shotgun and machine gun should be converted to the
newer and most expensive guns. This is very helpful in the beginning when your income is not too high.
However, this trick does not work with all the weapons.

Recommended scope weapon:

The PSG-I is not as good as the standard sniper rifle. The scope on the rifle is solid, and the dot never
gets larger or smaller, unlike the laser dot of the PSG-I.

Extra ammunition:
If you do a rampage, the type of weapon for it will be taken from you. However, the weapon that you
had prior to starting the rampage will double in ammunition. For example, if you do a shotgun rampage
and have an Uzi equipped, you will lose all your shotgun ammunition, but have double the Uzi ammo.
Note: You do not have to pass the rampage to get the ammunition.

Unlimited ammunition:
Go to any Ammu-Nation store and choose a gun. Keep buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The
next time you buy it, the ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you will have an unlimited
amount.

Use the following trick to get unlimited ammunition on the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a
submachine gun-class weapon for $300, then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the same
ammunition, and you will save a couple thousand dollars.

After you finish the last story line mission, the mobsters who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a
lot of them and you should have unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find the MP5.

If you have a weapon that you want to get unlimited ammunition for, do a rampage. There is a perfect
rampage located at the Oakdale Toilet, just a few blocks from the hotel with your hideout. For example,
if you have a rocket launcher with 4 rockets and you want to give it unlimited ammunition, switch to the
rocket launcher and walk into the skull icon for the rampage. For two minutes, just allow the game to
idle. When the rampage ends, whatever weapon you were given for the rampage (for example, at
Oakdale Toilet it is a chainsaw) is removed from your arsenal. However, whatever weapon you had in
hand (such as the rocket launcher) when you walked into the rampage has its ammunition doubled. To
double your ammunition again, just walk into the rampage skull after it regenerates. Or, just stand
where the skull was and you will do one rampage after another as the skull regenerates. The rampage
at Oakdale Toilet is recommended because you will lose the chainsaw. However, that weapon can be
easily replaced with a baseball bat (behind the your hotel) or another chainsaw (from one of the early
missions for Cortez). This strategy also allows you to mix weapons from different tiers so that, for
example, you can have the tier three weapons with a rocket launcher instead. Save your game once
you have the weapons you want with unlimited ammunition.

Quick reloads:
Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get a score of 45 points.

When using a gun, instead of using up an entire clip and waiting for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out
your weapon and then switch back to it, It will be fully loaded without having to wait through the normal
reload animation.

Shoot faster:
You can shoot people faster by pressing Circle(2). Note: This does not work with all weapons, and you
may also need to aim first.
 Alternate Ruger, M4, or M60 aiming:
In the PlayStation2 version, to aim with the Ruger, M4, or M60, like the shotguns or pistols, set yourself
on fire with a Molotov cocktail and press R1.

Shoot down police helicopters with one sniper shot:

Use the sniper rifle and aim at the joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it down with one
shot.

Stop police helicopters from shooting you:

Get a wanted level of 3 or higher. When the police helicopter appears, shoot it directly where the bullets
are coming from. It will not shoot you because your bullets are blocking them. This may not work all the
time. The best guns to do this with are the Ruger, Colt M4, M60, or any other gun that has first person
view aim.

Taking out police boats:

In the PlayStation2 version, if you are in a boat in the ocean and the police are chasing you, press
Triangle and you will not be driving it anymore. The police will stop chasing you and it seems that they
do not even notice you are still on the boat. Take out the rocket launcher and blow up the police boats.
Start driving again and repeat as needed. You can also hop onto the police boat if it is close to you.
However, you must quickly shoot the cop, because he will attack you.

Use police spike strips:

To use police spike strips to your advantage, get three or four stars on your wanted meter. Find an
officer on foot that can lay down the spike strip. Try to dodge the spike strip and lure the pursuing
officers to pop their tires on it, giving you a chance of escaping.

Escape from police:

If you are being chased by the police and are near streets with alleys, drive near the alleys. Jump out
the car at the correct moment and fall into the alley. The police will drive past, giving you some time to
run. You can also get out of a heavy car and leave it to block an alley. This is useful if you have a high
wanted level.

Find a shore and wade into the water just short of drowning point. Crouch and the cops will not fire at
you, but the police chopper will find you.

Run over target without police attention:

Get a car (not a bike) then drive to the person you want to kill slowly. Drive over him slowly, then get out
and look at the bottom of your car. They will now die while you are out of your car. Get back into our
car, then back up or move forward to get their money. Note: This can also be done to cops.

Police hostage:
Raise your wanted level and wait for a police car with two cops inside. Wait until they are away from the
car. Then, one will get in the passenger's side. Run to the drivers side and start driving. The cop will
now be yelling at you.

Increase your accuracy rating:

Once you kill someone, take out an M4 and crouch down. Use the manual aim to shoot the body. After
a few rounds, your accuracy rate will start to increase little by little. Note: You can also raise your "Head
Shots" stat by shooting them in the head.

Go to the boatyard were Colonel Cortez is located. Go back behind the gates with a helicopter. There
should be a very big boat; the one that you were on for the "The Party" mission. Land beside it, in the
southwest corner of the map. Take a gun and continue to fire at it. You will notice that your accuracy will
go up. When you save after this, your criminal rating will have also risen.

Minimize health damage:

When doing a mission that requires chasing down your target from a building or enclosed location
containing no fast vehicles (for example, Four Iron) or a mission that requires you to escape from
similar areas (for example, Mall Shootout), travel on a motorcycle. Not only will this provide an efficient
edge on your mission, but it will also minimize damage to your health.

Pickup truck drive by:

Jump on the back of a pickup truck with an Uzi or another gun. Snipe everyone as you drive by. Be
careful when firing -- if a cop hits the truck it will probably speed off, knocking you off.

Ride on hoods:
An easy way to snipe the police and people on the sidewalk is to jump on the hood of a car when it is
stopped at a red light. When the car starts driving, you will stay on the hood. When the police chase
you, they will hit the car that you are on, making the driver mad and forcing him to drive faster. If they
do not drive faster, it will still be difficult for the police to knock you off. Do not stand at the very top of
the car, as you tend to slide off the back. Get on the very front, in front of the windshield.

Destroy the Dodo:

You can blow up the Dodo plane flying overhead (pulling the banner) by using the rockets on the
Hunter.

Shoot seagulls:
Go to a location with a lot of seagulls, such as the lighthouse at Washington Beach. Use a sniper rifle to
zoom in close and shoot a seagull. Their small and fast, so it is a challenge to hit them. When you do,
they will explode in a burst of feathers, similar to when you shoot boxes. Note: The game keeps track of
how many seagulls you have sniped on the "Stats" screen.

Increase walking total by doing nothing:

Get in front of a truck, preferably a Bobcat. Make sure it stops. Jump over the front and stand in the bed
of the truck. The driver will start to drive again. Even though you are just standing in the truck, your
walking distance total will increase.

Steal a police boat:

Take a boat and ramp it so that when it lands it will be upside down. Quickly get out so you will be
standing on the hull. Take out a rocket launcher and shoot any boats that are in range. After awhile,
police boats will come after you. Take a manually targeting gun and shoot the officer though the glass. If
done correctly, you should be able to get the police boat and have the police after you. Note: This is
difficult to accomplish.

Mini-riot:
Enable the "Tommy groupies" code and run around to get a lot of women chasing you. When you have
quite a few, punch a couple of them and they should all start fighting. This will happen most, but not all
of the time. Some of the women drop a lot of money when they die.

Scare passenger:
In the PlayStation2 version, this trick works very well at a red light. Find a car or truck that has a
passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or truck's driver-side door and press Triangle to open
it. As soon as Tommy starts to get in, press X to accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be
in riding along, screaming and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.

Easy money:
Occasionally as you wander around the city, you will encounter a cop fighting with a gang member
(especially in Northpoint Mall). If you step in and hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good
Citizen's Bonus when the gang member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can continue to kick
him and receive the bonus two or three more times (until the body disappears). This is an easy way to
get some quick cash, and do some fighting in the process.

Knock over the parking meters on the sides of the streets to get money. They give just as much (if not
more) money then a person or a clerk from a store.
Enable the "Tommy groupies" code. Run around until you have a large group of women following. Lead
them to the nearest alleyway or garage and just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too much
attention from cops and paramedics.

Enter any store and point a handgun at the clerk until he gives you money. Hold the gun for a few
seconds until he stops giving you money, then run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. Note: Do not do this in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.

In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Rhino" code and press L3 to start the vigilante missions. After
every kill, you will begin to get more money. After a while, you will have over $1,000 per kill. When the
cops are on you after a kill, enable the "Lower Wanted Level" code.

Go to a hideout that generates money. Get the money and save the game. The game time will advance
three hours and more money should be available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This does not
always work.

Buy Sunshine Autos for $50,000 to unlock the Vice City racer missions. Go down to the pink circle, then
choose the Vice City Endurance Race. Note: You must have $10,000 for the entrance fee. Enable the
"Weapons (tier 2)" code and drive a car in front of the racers. Select the rocket launcher and very
carefully (and at a good distance) blow the cars up. You can then win the race with a vehicle as slow as
the Faggio for the $40,000 prize.

After buying Sunshine Autos, enable the "Dodo (flying) car) code and go to the Vice City Endurance
Race. Race it, and you will win the $40,000 prize.

Start the fire fighter missions and get at least 100 fires to make about $30,000.

Drive down the road in front of the Ocean View hotel south. Turn right at the first street after the hotel.
Make another immediate right on to the street behind the one your hotel is on. Turn left immediately
after that to enter a parking garage. Go to the top of the parking garage. When you get to the top, turn
right to find a Stallion just before the wall. Enter the Stallion to start the Cone Crazy mini-game.
Basically, every time you beat the best time, the prize money doubles. To use this to your advantage,
beat it with 1 second remaining, then beat it with 2 seconds remaining, then 3, 4, etc., with each
attempt just slightly beating the previous best time. By the time you beat it about 23 times, you will have
reached the most amount of money you can have. Save the game after every attempt so that way you
do not miss an opportunity to double you money if a mistake is made. Also, in order to do it over again
you have to go all the way back down to the street and come back up and enter the Stallion again.
Note: If you have $999,999,999 and you do it again, the game will actually lower your money and your
criminal ranking.

Instead for shooting a regular pedestrian, try shooting taxi drivers to get more money. Note: This does
not work all of the time.

The quickest way to make money is to pick up a prostitute and take her to the beach. Beat her up and
you can take double the money. You can get up to $500 by doing this.

After you have bought a property and have completed the missions to earn money from it, enable the
"Faster game play" code. Go about one block away and wait for about four to six hours of game time.
Go back to the property and the amount earned should be fairly high.

Get a rocket launcher and a three star wanted level. Shoot down the police helicopters that fly
overhead. When they crash and explode, you will get about $300. You can do this to any of the police
helicopters that fly overhead during a chase.

If you get into a taxi, sometimes you will get cash that the taxi driver has made.

Enable the "Pedestrians riot" code. Let the pedestrians kill each other, then collect all their money.
Note: Make sure they do not kill you.
 Complete the first Cuban mission with wearing Cuban gang clothes and you will get a $100 bonus.

Use the following trick to raise your Criminal Rating while getting lots of money. Buy Sunshine Autos;
there is a Pay N' Spray there that will be needed. Get any car and put it in one of the garages,
preferably the one directly across from the Pay N' Spray. Get a Rhino and do the Vigilante missions at
the airport. When your wanted level gets up to the point where the police chase after you, drive the
Rhino to Sunshine Autos. Drive the tank down to where the garages are, but not all the way. Get out,
and it will block the alley from cops that are chasing you. They will explode when they hit the tank. Get
in the car that you stashed in the garage and drive into the Pay N' Spray. Your wanted level will
disappear and your criminal rating will increase. This is also a good way to get lots of money, as most of
the cars spawned during the Vigilante missions will be there at the airport. It is possible to get up to
level 135 on the Vigilante missions and over $17,000,000.

Have a 9mm pistol or the first machine pistol. Lock on a store owner inside and wait for him to give you
money. when he has done this, slowly walk away outside while still locked on to him. When you are
outside on the pavement, disengage your lock and the man will not sound the alarm. Repeat this as
many times as desired.

Easy health:
While in a mall, buy something to eat at the food court.

If you are low on health, go to one of your hideouts. Go to the save icon. You do not have to save the
game. Select "Cancel". When you get back to the normal game screen, your health will be at 100.

Kill a few people, and an ambulance will arrive to treat the wounded. Steal it for a 20 point health
increase.

Easy kills:
In the PlayStation2 version, use the following trick to kill without being caught. Use a motorcycle
(recommended because you will not get hurt) or other vehicle and drive very fast towards a group of
people. Then, press Triangle to bail. The vehicle should run over or hit a lot of people. You can then
collect their weapons and cash.

Enable the "Weapons" code, ad get a large number of remote detonated grenades. Throw one into the
middle of the street and wait for a car to drive over it. When it does, detonate the grenade and the car
will do a flip or something else while exploding in flames. You can do this while at a mall or another area
where there are big groups of people. Throw grenade into the middle of the group, then get to a safe
distance and detonate them.

You must have first purchased the Hyman Condo or have the Vercetti Estate. Take the helicopter from
one of those two places and take it to a skyscraper or tall building that you can land on. Next, use the
sniper rifle or rocket launcher to shoot at vehicles on the ground. None of the police forces can get you
from there, except the helicopters. Use a rocket launcher to take them down.

Easy rampage:
If you are doing a rampage that requires a certain number of vehicles to be destroyed and you are near
somewhere with a large garage, go over to it. Open the garage and blow the cars up while they are still
inside. Walk away so that the garage closes, then return and the cars will be in perfect shape again.
Blow them up again, and repeat the process. This is very useful for the two RPG rampages near
Sunshine Autos (on the airport roof and on the big ship); and the chaingun rampage (near Fort Baxter).
Since Sunshine Autos has so many large garages, it is easy to fly over in a helicopter, get the rampage,
then fly back to Sunshine Autos to do the trick.

To do a rampage mission without losing any of the guns, before starting it go to Escobar International
Airport. Enter through the security checkpoint. All the guns will now be outside the airport. Do the
rampage mission. You can also save after doing a rampage without taking your weapons back. The
weapons will be there and will not disappear. You can also do all rampage missions by this procedure.
Pick up the guns after doing all the rampages.
 Easy car destruction in chase missions:
Attacking a target vehicle in a car chase is often not easy, particularly if you are required to destroy it.
Anti-vehicle weapons do not arrive until later in t`e game, forcing you to make do with inefficient small
arms. You can save themselves a lot of effort if they use a scooter or motocycle's unique shooting
ability to attack escaping cars. Tommy Vercetti can shoot submachine guns straight ahead on any
scooter or motorcycle. Simply follow a target vehicle and unload in its rear. Experience shows this tactic
is much easier and quicker than trying to ram a vehicle or shoot it from the drive-by view, especially
when using the HK MP5. Players may find the scooter particularly suited to this tactic, since it can
weave and dodge obstacles more easily than any other two-wheeler, and without losing speed.

Better underwater view:

To see things more clearly underwater, steal a Caddy, such as the one in the bushes around the
lighthouse. Enable the "Car floats on water" code. While driving on the water, look through the
windshield and underwater objects will now be in clear view. This is useful when looking at the
underwater life and objects such as the Russian submarine.

Clothing reactions:
Your clothing will result in different reactions during missions. For example, when you go to the Cubans
for the first time, try wearing golf clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling you a woman
and you will make fun of him.

Same clothes:
Whenever you see Kent Paul, he will be wearing the same clothes as Tommy Vercetti, but with a
different color shirt (red).

Save money with prostitutes:

Get a convertible or another open top car. Pick up a prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or
trees. Your health will jump up and she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all the car
rocking. If you decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a convertible, jump out as soon as your
health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or kill the prostitute to get your money back.

After using a prostitute, your health should be at 125 and she will soon exit your vehicle. When she
does, use the drive-by view to the direction she is at and shoot her before she escapes. Then, exit the
vehicle and get your money back.

Screaming prostitute:
Enable the "Car floats on water" code, then get a nice looking car. Pick up a prostitute and drive off
onto the beach and into the water (watch for high waves). After you are far off from land, stop. She will
do her thing and you will increase health. The poor girl will not be able to get out and will scream
continuously until you finally drive her back to land.

Candy Suxxx fliers:

After completing the Dildo Dodo mission for Steve at InterGlobal Films studio, look at the flyers on the
ground were you flew over. You should see some with a picture of Candy Suxxx and a title called "Bite".
These are the flyers that you dropped from the plane.

Zombie Elvis newspaper headline:

Look closely at the newspapers to see a headline referring to a "Zombie Elvis Found" with a funny
picture underneath.

Giant shark:
The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films studio can be seen in the water. You may need to complete
all the missions for InterGlobal Films for it to appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of knowing
where it can be found.

Run longer:
Tap X instead of holding it to make Tommy's stamina last longer.
 Move faster:
In the PlayStation2 version, if Tommy's stamina runs out from running too long, repeatedly press
Square instead. Hopping will still be faster than walking.

Dodge cars:
In the PlayStation2 version, when a car is driving directly at you, press Square when it gets close and
Tommy will jump sideways, saving himself from being run over. For example, when the police are
chasing you, they will try to hit to kill you. Press Square at the correct moment to save yourself from a
collision.

Avoid getting busted:

In the PlayStation2 version, when pulling someone out of their car, immediately hold X and push the
Left Analog-stick away from the car to avoid entering the vehicle. This is especially useful when cops
are nearby to avoid getting busted. It can also be used if you want to beat someone up before stealing
their car.

When you steal someone's car and you have a cop directly behind you, instead of accelerating forward
press the Square + Left Analog Stick Right or D-pad Right if he in the driver's side door or Square +
Left Analog-stick Left or D-pad Left. You will knock the cop down and successfully get away.

Avoid drowning in vehicle:

If your car flips over while in water, enable the "Health" code. Then, enable the "Rainy weather" code
and the "Car floats on water" code (if not already enabled). Keep repeating the "Health" code in
between and after these codes. Your car should eventually flip back over and float on the water. This
technique requires speed and practice. Note if you are in a Rhino, your chances of flipping back of are
small; and if you make it, the Rhino will fly and bounce in the air.

Restore health:
Go to your hideout and go to "Save". Either save or leave without saving and your health will be
restored to full.

Free car repair:

Go into any garage and blow up your car. Run away quickly and make sure your garage door closes.
Return, and your car will be new.

Free Pay 'N' Spray:

Immediately before you go in to a Pay 'N' Spray, enable the "Full health" code.

Decrease wanted level to zero:

Go to your hideout and go to "Save". Load the most recent save and your wanted level will drop to
zero.

You can clear your wanted level by entering a RC Racer Competition. You do not have to complete the
competition to clear your wanted level.

In the PlayStation2 version, if you have a wanted level of any kind, find an RC van (Top Fun). Go in and
when you start that mission, press Circle to destroy your RC vehicle. You will no longer have any cops
after you. You can do this as many times as desired.

Increase wanted level quickly:

Steal the Apache helicopter and fly towards one of the advertising airplanes that tow a banner. When
you are close enough, shoot a missile at it. If you hit it, the plane will explode, giving you at least three
stars. Do this about four times and you will have all six stars.

Depending on your game progress, you can go to the bank you held up and run up the stairs for an
instant four stars wanted level.
 To get a six star wanted level very quickly, go to the VCPD HQ that you broke Cameron out of. Kill all
the police inside you will end up with six stars. Bcareful when you walk out. There will be a swarm of
police and military outside.

Wanted level with police or FBI uniform:

Cycle through the "Pedestrian costume" code until you are wearing a police or FBI uniform. If you shoot
a gun, you will automatically get a one star wanted level.

Drowned pedestrians:
Go to any dock with people on it while you are on a motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the
people (including cops) will dive in the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off the bike and
look down into the water without falling in. You can see their dead bodies floating in the water.

Go to a dock with people. Find a person and park so that he or she is between you and the water. They
still have to be slightly front of you. Honk the horn and they may run into the water. If they do not -- try
again. Then, other people will try to crowd around the body and keep running into the water.

Enable the "Car floats on water" code and get a gun that can do a drive by with. Drive near a boat and
shoot it until it is up in flames. Wait until you hear it explode, then go over. You should see a dead
person floating in the water. Run him or her over and they should sink if done at the correct moment
and location on their corpse.

Pedestrian suicides:
Get in a helicopter and go under a bridge. Look up and you may see someone throwing themselves off
it to their death.

Knock pedestrians down with fire hose:

In the PlayStation2 version, on the west island on the map, there is a VCFD fire truck near the fire
station. Get into it and pull out of the fenced in area. Hold Circle to use the water gun. Aim it low at
people to knock them over. If you are quick, you can get out and run over to them before they get up.
While they are on the ground, you can kick them a few times to get their money (if they have any). This
helps you avoid getting into fights with the pedestrians.

Blood splatter:
Kill someone with the chainsaw while you are running and blood will splatter on the screen.

Rainbows:
It is possible to see rainbows after a rain storm or thunder storm. Try looking near the Hyman Memorial
Stadium, on the side where the helicopter pads are located.

Phone numbers:
The phone numbers in the game actually exist. For example, 1-866-434SELF (Think Your Way To
Success), 1-866-9SAVEME (Pastor Richard's Salvation Statue), and 1-866-PILLAGE (Thor's Advice
hotline). Note: Thor's does not really cost $175.

Abbreviations:
One of the radio stations features a man selling self help programs. One is called "Learn, Start, Do",
short for LSD. Another is "Motivate, Demonstrate, then Motivate Again", short for MDMA or Ecstasy.
Another is "Think, Hold that thought, Complete", short for THC, the chemical in marijuana.

Lance preview:
Start a new game. When the intermission sequence where Tommy makes the drug deal appears, look
at the pilot. The pilot is Lance.

Grand Theft Auto 3 references:

There is an airplane with a banner on the back that flies around Vice City. When you fly a helicopter or
a plane around it, or zoom in on it with a sniper rifle, you can see that it is an exact duplicate of the full-
winged Dodo from Grand Theft Auto 3.
 In a mission brief for Avery Brooks, you will meet Donald Love. Avery will give a lesson about real
estate prices going down because of a good old fashioned gang war, or an outbreak of plague. In
Grand Theft Auto 3, Donald Love says the same thing almost word for word.

In the last mission for Phil Cassidy, you see him blowing off his arm. During game play, Phil keeps
hallucinating that he was in the jungle fighting. In Grand Theft Auto 3, he states that he lost it in
Nicaragua, which is where he was hallucinating.

If you listen to KCHAT long enough, Amy will eventually bring on a guest, Gethsemanee, who is in a
coven and talks about crystal balls among with other witch topics. During the interview, Amy will accept
calls and a English man from Hampshire named Freddy, calls asking the lady, "Supposing I'd been a
bad boy. Like if I hadn't learnt my spells or something. Would I, I get smacked with it?" He goes on to
also say "But you must hit Freddy with your broom. Freddy has been very naughty and not learnt his
spells. Hit me hairy legs, hit me! I deserve it!" This is the same man who calls up Chatterbox on Grand
Theft Auto 3 asking for a nanny to spank him.

Phil Cassidy's refrigerator has a sticker that says "Get Away" with palm trees and a beach. The same
poster is in Grand Theft Auto 3 in your first hideout on Portland island.

Listen to VROCK and you will eventually hear a commercial about Ammu-Nation having a blow-out
sale. You will hear the man in the commercial say, "just like we kicked Australia's ass". Ironically, the
same DJ for the same station, Lazlow, also does station called Chatterbox in Grand Theft Auto 3. If you
listen to that station long enough, he will talk to a sergeant who talks about he was in the "Australian-
Amercian War". Lazlow goes on, saying that he has never heard of it.

Many callers on K-Chat and VROCK are the same ones that called on Chatterbox. For example, when
listening to K-Chat when Thor is on and they go to the callers, a man named T.J. that talks about him
and some friends starting their own gang called "The Blood" will come on. His voice sounds very
familiar to the man calling on Chatterbox, talking badly about the British and saying that football and
hopscotch are "man-sports". Also, the man that called also during the Thor interview asking about his
girlfriend and was told to behead her sounds like the man who says "Liberty City Cocks rule!".

On the VCPR radio station, a guest will eventually talk about why Vice City residents should not wear
clothes. In Grand Theft Auto 3, the same man calls Chatterbox saying why it should be right to not wear
clothes.

If you own Sunshine Autos, drive into the garage that you drop the cars off for the list. Get a sniper rifle
and look at the computer in the garage. It says "Kruton 9000" on the screen. This is also on Joey's
computer in his repair garage in Grand Theft Auto 3.

When you are driving around Escobar International Airport, one of the billboards reads, "Vacation In
Liberty City".

On KCHAT while Amy is interviewing Claude Mageno, a man calls up and asks Claude a question. He
he is Morgan Meriwell from Double Ceff FM in Liberty City. He sounds like him and says his name is
Morgan.

Steal a Banshee and take it to a safe place, away from car thieves, Go to the back of your Banshee
and use a sniper rifle to zoom in on the license plate. It reads "LEONY" which is a reference to
Salvatore Leone, the Mafia Boss you worked for in Grand Theft Auto 3.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reference:

On the K-Chat radio station, when BJ Smith is the special guest, listen to the people that call the station
to talk to him. There is one man that calls asking BJ how he played against the "SA's". The SA's refer to
the football team in San Andreas.
 The Getaway reference:
On the assassination mission Autocide, the two people in the truck are named Marcus Hammond and
Franco Carter. The main characters of The Getaway are Frank Carter and Mark Hammond.

The Terminator reference:

Look closely at the "Exploder" billboard above the 24/7 store in Little Havana to see a scene from The
Terminator, in which the Terminator robot descends from an explosion.

San Andreas reference:

Listen to the VCHAT radio station and you will hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first time
calla". They will start talking about different football conversations. Listen for about one minute and you
will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we were beaten by San Andreas". In the original
Grand Theft Auto, the cities were Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. This is a hint towards the
location or title of the fifth game in the series.

Clearer graphics:
In the PlayStation2 version, pause game play and go to "Display", then select "Trails" and turn that
option off. The game will be much clearer.

Start game faster:

After you see the PlayStation2 logo, wait till the next screen appears. Then, immediately press L2 + R2
to get to the startup screen.
