| A.6. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" [GTAS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

What can I say? Rockstar has done it again. They have completely blown my
expectations out of the water with San Andreas. San Andreas is much, much
larger than GTA3 and Vice City combined with many more things to do whether
you want to get 100% Completion or not.

There are even more vehicles to play with including earthmovers, tractors,
biplanes, jets, street sweepers, and even trains.

The one major criticism I have for this game is that they seem to have given
us too much of a good thing. Of course, there are a lot of companies that
would love to have that kind of criticism.

However, though, Rockstar ended up with lots of criticism over their handling
over the "Hot Coffee" scandal which leads to the next chapter.....

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.7. "Hot Coffee" [HCFE] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Shortly after the PC version was released Rockstar was caught up in a
controversy known as "Hot Coffee". Buried within the large mountain of
computer code was a little mini-game that allowed the main character to
actively please a woman sexually. This was supposed to happen when you got
far enough in the relationship with a Girlfriend to have sex with her. The
reason for the name "Hot Coffee" is because when she invited you into her
house it was for "coffee".

During development Rockstar felt that maybe that this mini-game might cause
too much trouble so they decided not to use it. However, instead of removing
the code, they decided to deactivate it but leave the code within the game.
Instead, when you go in for "coffee", you just see the outside of the house
and hear a lot of erotic noises.

When the PC version came out the mod community went to work to modify San
Andreas to suit their desires like changing landscapes, weapons, and cars.
But someone in Holland discovered the "Hot Coffee" mini-game and told the
gaming community about it. He showed them where it was and how to activate
it.

Glen T. Winstein wrote to me strongly suggesting that it was placed within
the code in such a way that it was meant to be discovered. Jay Versluis also
added that Rockstar knew it would cause controversy and would help them gain
publicity.

However, in some cases, the publicity can come at a high price as Rockstar
would soon find out.

Here in the United States our views toward sex are Puritan to say the least.
It didn't take long for certain activists to get their hooks into this
controversy. There was lawyer Jack Thompson (who I think is an attention
seeking troll) and Senator Hilary Clinton (who's no better) that made the
most noise about "Hot Coffee".

Rockstar's stance was that the modders created the mini-game and angrily
denounced it. The modders pointed out that the code was within the game and
that they simply unlocked it. Rockstar continued to point the finger at the
modders for creating the mini-game.

In the meantime, Xbox and PlayStation 2 users to begin trying to activate the
mini-game within their own copies. And thanks to cheat discs like ARMax they
were able to do just that. Since the PS2 and Xbox versions were nearly
impossible to mod, Rockstar's house of cards completely collapsed.

To make matters worse, the ESRB, which rates the games here in the United
States, retroactively changed the rating for San Andreas from M to AO (Adults
Only). This was despite the fact that you had to go through a lot of stuff
just to activate "Hot Coffee".

There were two reasons, I feel, that the ESRB did this. First, this was to
punish Rockstar for some of the other stuff they did in the past. And second,
the ESRB wanted to get the message across to all the other developers that
you will not get away with intentionally circumventing the ESRB.

A lot of places here in the US will not carry any game with an AO rating so
they quickly cleared the shelves of San Andreas. Rockstar began work to put
out a "Hot Coffee" free version as soon as possible to help recoup the losses
they suffered, one report said that Take Two Interactive would lose as much
as $50 million, over this controversy.

These new versions would be called the Second Edition and this leads me to
the next chapter.....

| A.8. Second Edition Differences [SDFR] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Shortly after their releases I acquired the Second Edition versions for both
the Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles.

As with the various versions of Vice City the game saves from the previous
version of San Andreas will not work with the other. However, as it was
pointed out on various forums, whenever you change the main program even
a little this will cause the game save incompatibility. There is nothing that
anyone can do about it and this is something that we will have to live with.

This chapter also addresses two major bugs that appeared in the AO versions
of San Andreas ("Supply Lines" (PS2), Pilots License Bug (Xbox)) and have
been fixed for the Second Edition Versions.

Listed below are the differences between the Original and Second Edition
versions. They are categorized by platform.

The only change in the box art is the inclusion, in small letters along the
bottom of the front of the case, of the words "Second Edition". Not very
helpful but better than nothing.

In addition, the Platinum Hits version of San Andreas is also the Second
Edition version.

| Pilots License Glitch Fixed \
0==============================0

In the Original Xbox version if you tried get your Pilots License before
you open up the Flight School (or, at least, the Desert / Las Venturas
area) by flying out over the ocean you will risk triggering this bug (and,
according to SkippPOP, this problem also occurs on the PC version).

One of the things it does is it prevents you from doing the Taxi Mission.
You can activate the Taxi Mission but you will get a message saying "There
are no fares nearby. Keep looking." However, you can drive all around the
city, literally for hours, and no fares will generate. Ever.

Worse, it will also prevent you from completing one of the Main Story
Missions. During the mission "Mike Toreno" (Loco Syndicate), you have to
find him using a cellphone. You are then told to go to a certain
destination. Once there, you are told to go to another destination. The
problem occurs when you reach the second destination. No matter from which
angle you approach it at or even of you sit on top of it, the game won't
recognize that you are at the second destination and you cannot progress
further in the mission. And, as a result, you cannot progress further in
the Main Story Missions. You either have to start from a point before
getting the Pilots License or restart your game from scratch.

Recently reader Zoomzoom Moonchild had this to say about this glitch:

"What triggers the glitch is going off of the regular map and going out
into the ocean. If you just keep going and going it does something to
the game where it can't recognize certain aspects geographically, such
as for the passengers in the Taxi Mission. You can trigger this glitch
by swimming out too far, or by traveling too far in a boat or
helicopter, however it's a lot easier to trigger the glitch it in a
fixed-wing aircraft such as a jet (because they move much faster). Once
the glitch has occurred there is no way that I know of to correct it,
you must restart from a previously saved game (before the glitch
occurred) or start a new game."

The best way to avoid this problem is to wait until you open the Flight
School and get your License then (as well as do the Taxi Mission and the
"Mike Toreno" (Loco Syndicate) mission beforehand).

However, according to this new information, you can go ahead and obtain the
License early as long as you don't fly out over the ocean.

It should also be noted that you can trigger this bug without successfully
obtaining the Pilots License. But, when I first discovered this problem, it
was when I was trying to get the License early and therefore I called it
the "Pilots License Bug".

However, since this bug has been around for years, I am going to leave the
name of this glitch alone to prevent any confusion amongst Xbox players.

But, if anybody has suggestions for a new name for this bug, I will be open
to it.

Thankfully this problem was addressed for the Second Edition version. This
was the only major change for the Xbox Second Edition.

The packaging for the Second Edition is much different than the regular
packaging. The case is thicker and the main lettering is in gold. The game
comes with two discs. There is the game disc and there is a second disc
that contains three movies:

>>"The Introduction"
******************
A short film that was originally included with the soundtrack box set.
This film chronicles the events leading up to the beginning of the game.

>>"Sunday Driver"
***************
A short documentary about a low rider club.

>>"Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories"
****************************************
The trailer for the popular PlayStation Portable (PSP) game. Now also out
on PlayStation 2.

| "Supply Lines" Fixed \
0=======================0

When the Original version of San Andreas came out one of the most
frustrating things about it was the mission "Supply Lines". In this mission
you flew a RC Baron so you could destroy some couriers on bikes. You used
up fuel no matter what you did (gliding, rolling on the ground, etc.) and
you ended up doing this mission over and over because you kept running out
of fuel. You can still complete this mission but it was quite frustrating
to most people.

When the PC and Xbox versions came out this problem was addressed. When you
played the mission on either the PC or Xbox version you could glide without
using any fuel which made the mission far less frustrating. However, this
left the PS2 users out of the loop.

But when Rockstar was forced to make the Second Edition version they were
able to address this problem on the PS2 side leaving only the PS2 AO
version with this problem.

0============================0
| Secret Pay 'N' Spray Closed \
0==============================0

In the Original version there was a secret Pay 'N' Spray just east of The
Strip in Las Venturas. This was also a place where you could enter Grey
Hell (where the door meets the ground). In the Xbox and PC versions the
door remains closed so you can't enter. On the PS2 Second Edition version
not only is the door closed but all of the signage has been removed.

0==========================0
| Pool Playing Glitch Fixed \
0============================0

According to multiple forum posters, Rockstar fixed the Pool Playing
Glitch. In the Original version if you pointed a gun at people in a bar
where there is a pool table you can play, you would not be able to play
pool anywhere in the game ever again. Rockstar went and fixed that.

0=======================0
| Icon For Cluckin' Bell \
0=========================0

There is now an icon for the Cluckin' Bell south of the Movie Studio in
Market (Los Santos). In the Original Version the Icon for this Cluckin'
Bell was missing.

0=========================0
| Girlfriend Glitch Fixed? \
0===========================0

Many people have had problems getting their Girlfriends to show up when
they are supposed to in the Original version. However, according to
quest78, who posted his find at the GameFAQs Message Boards, he noticed
that he no longer had any problems getting the Girlfriends to show up when
he got the Second Edition version. I have not verified this myself since I
never played around with the Girlfriend feature but this info looked solid
enough to include in this document.

| A.9. Xbox 360 Data [XBDT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" works with the latest Backward Compatibility
updates for the Xbox 360 (you need the Hard Drive to play Original Xbox games
on the X360).

You can play San Andreas in many different resolutions depending on your
monitor or HDTV setup. Unlike "Grand Theft Auto III" and "Grand Theft Auto:
San Andreas" the main title intro for San Andreas plays flawlessly.

San Andreas looks great in 640x480 (although it is pillarboxed on my NEC
MultiSync 3D) and looks better in 1024x768. However, at that high a
resolution, you may notice a little bit of jagginess here and there due to
the upscaling of the graphics.

Two bad things about playing San Andreas on the X360:

>>You can't do custom soundtracks like you could on the Original Xbox.
>>You can't transfer game saves to an external memory card for safekeeping.

But one good thing about playing San Andreas on the X360 is that the White
and Black buttons (from the Original Xbox controller) are replaced by the
Left and Right Buttons which are situated above the Left and Right Triggers
on the Xbox 360 pad. This makes it much easier to fly aircraft. Sadly, even
if you use a USB-to-Xbox adapter, you cannot use a X360 controller with the
Original Xbox.

/=========================================================================\

| A.10. Xploder HDTV (PlayStation 2) Data [XPTV] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Xploder HDTV is a disc that will allow PlayStation 2 owners to play most of
their games in Progressive Scan mode. Many games will work but some of them
will have issues.

"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" works great in 480p mode. However, the main
title intro will be glitchy because of "line meshing issues". This is
actually a minor problem since you can easily skip the opening credits by
pressing X. Once you get past the intro, all is good.

Because the graphics are designed for 480 vertical resolution it is not
recommended that you put San Andreas in any mode higher than 480p. The higher
resolution modes, like 720p, simply shoehorn the 480 graphics into the higher
end modes and tend to really squash the screen.

\=========================================================================/

Here I compare the Xbox and PS2 versions from a technical standpoint. This
also includes Xbox 360 information. Since I do not have a PlayStation 3 I
don't have any compatibility information.

/XXXXXXXX\
0==========0
| Graphics |
0==========0
\XXXXXXXX/

The graphics on the Xbox version aren't that radically better than the PS2
version but animates more smoothly than on the Xbox version of Vice City.
This is probably due to the new engine for San Andreas. In addition the
Xbox version has greater draw distance and is much brighter than the PS2
version. Oh, and let's not forget Progressive Scan (Component Video only)
for the Xbox version.

However, the Xploder HDTV disc for PS2 will at least allow you to play San
Andreas in 480p on the PlayStation 2.

The Xbox 360 will allow you to play games in VGA mode with the VGA cable
which is something you can't do with the Original Xbox (without either
modding it (depending on the motherboard) or using a Component Video-to-RGB
converter). It can even run in high resolution modes (like 720p or
1024x768).

/XXXXX\
0=======0
| Sound |
0=======0
\XXXXX/

The sound quality is about the same between the PS2 and Xbox versions of
San Andreas. The Xbox version gets a slight edge due to its custom
soundtrack feature.

However, on the Xbox 360 you can't use the custom soundtrack feature when
playing San Andreas.

/XXXXXXXX\

\XXXXXXXX/

This is where the Xbox version is clearly inferior to the PS2 version. The
use of the White and Black buttons for flying and drive-bys makes some
missions more difficult than on its PS2 counterpart. Rockstar had to make
do with what was given to them but the ambitiousness of San Andreas had to
have made it difficult for them to come up with a proper control scheme.

But, the Xbox 360 controller has shoulder buttons that map out to the Black
and White buttons when playing the original Xbox games on the 360. This
alleviates the controller problem when playing San Andreas on the Xbox 360.
At this time there is no way to use the Xbox 360 controller on the Original
Xbox.

>>PlayStation 2
*************
The PS2 version runs fairly well though it tends to chug in a few spots on
the map (an intersection in Ocean Docks is one example). Sudden pop-ins are
a bit of a problem especially when flying fast aircraft (like smacking into
a tree you can't see because it has not loaded yet). Texture loading is
pretty smooth but not as fast when using aircraft (within cities).

>>Xbox
****
The Xbox version also runs fairly smooth though it tends to chug when you
fly through clouds. There aren't as much sudden pop-ins but texture
loading is slower (you can outrun the texture loading (in a city) when
using a fast motorcycle). It is unclear whether the Thompson drives (which
did not like my GTA3 and Vice City games thus forcing me to trade in my
initial Xbox) would properly load up San Andreas.

>>Xbox 360
********
The emulator for San Andreas runs this game excellently. I have yet to
encounter any slowdown (even in the clouds). You can still outrun texture
loading but that is due to the DVD-ROM drive not the emulator.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\

| Xbox Version Differences |
0==========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

At this time there are a couple of differences between the PS2 and Xbox
versions:

>>Shady Industries in San Fierro is now called Solarin Industries.

>>The secret Pay 'N' Spray east of The Strip in Las Venturas (found in the
Original PS2 version) has been deactivated. It should be noted that it was
completely removed in the PS2 Second Edition version.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.12. Stats [STTS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

One of the major things that has been added to the GTA series is something
called Stats. Stats adds an RPG element to your character and there are many
things that you can change to make your character better (or worse).

Most of the upgrades to your Stats are permanent although some can change one
way or the other depending on certain physical activities.

From this point forward you will see me write about certain Stats starting
with the next chapter.....

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.13. Controls and Vehicles [CTVH] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Although the manual covers the setup pretty good, I felt that I should
include a section on controls for those who have acquired used copies of San
Andreas that have no manuals.

I have also included basic action, vehicle, and Stats information with their
respective control schemes.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.13.A. On Foot \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

As with any GTA game there is plenty of things you can do when on foot.

And by doing certain activities on foot you can increase your Stamina and
Health Stats.

Increasing your Stamina will allow you to sprint longer on foot, in the
water, and on a bicycle. However you can gain Infinite Stamina by
successfully completing the Burglary Mission (explained later).

Over the course of doing physical activities you may also see your Health
Stat increase. This increases your maximum health and you will see the Health
Bar lengthen slightly. You can also max out your Health Stat by successfully
completing the Ambulance Mission.

[1] - There is no First Person Look Around like there was in "Grand Theft
Auto III" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". This Camera Control
follows the Third Person control style found in most Third Person
games.

[2] - If you hold down the Run button too long, you will tire and have to
rest before you can run again. Tapping the button in rhythm will serve
to help you run a little longer. The more times you run, the more you
increase your Stamina Stat. You can get Infinite Stamina by
successfully completing the Burglary Mission.

[3] - When near a wall you press the button to grab the wall and press the
button again to climb the wall. When fighting hand-to-hand you press
the button to block their physical attacks.

[4] - When holding a melee weapon (like a bat) or using your Fist, the Attack
Button is used to swing at your target.

When using Grenades or Tear Gas, the same button is used to throw your
weapon at the target. The longer you hold, the farther you throw.

When holding a gun (like a Silenced Pistol) or a heavy weapon (like a
Rocket Launcher), you use the Attack Button to shoot. Use the Target
Button in conjunction to aim at your enemy.

When used with a Camera, the Attack Button is used to take pictures.

[5] - When outside of a vehicle you can see how your Stats are shaping up.
When targeting with a weapon this also becomes a handy fire button
depending on your particular comfort level. This button is also used to
buy property when you approach a Property Icon.

[6] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Left Button which is situated above the
Left Trigger.

[7] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Right Button which is situated above the
Right Trigger.

[8] - You can improve your ability to target and move at the same time by
upgrading Weapon Skills.

[9] - This is used in conjunction with the Target Button to recruit gang
members.

[10] - This is used to keep your gang from following you. It can also be used
to disband your group.

[11] - When talking to people you use this to give a positive response to
their queries.

[12] - When talking to people you use this to give a negative response to
their queries.

| A.13.C. Swimming \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

Unlike most of the GTA games your main character can swim. This can be pretty
useful for eluding pursuit and general exploring.

Swimming underwater will gradually increase your Lung Capacity Stat which
will allow you to stay underwater for long periods of time. This is very
helpful for acquiring Oysters which are found in the water all around San
Andreas.

You can also max out your Lung Capacity Stat, and increasing your Sex Appeal,
by collecting all of the Oysters found around the San Andreas area.

Stat.

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.13.D. Bicycles \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

In San Andreas you can use Bicycles. Bicycles also have skills that can be
upgraded. The more you ride a bike, the better you become. The better your
Cycling Skill, the less likely you will fall off by going backwards.

You will also increase your ability to do Bunny-Hops which is jumping with
your bike straight up in the air.

When you get onto a bike, press Pedal to move forward. To sprint, tap Pedal
faster and you will see him stand on the bike and pedal really fast. You can
actually go quite a distance this way.

To Bunny-Hop, hold L1 (PS2) or B (Xbox) then release to jump. The higher your
Cycling Skill, the higher you will jump.

If you happen to come to a stop when you climbing a steep incline, rapidly
tap Pedal to shoot yourself up the incline. This skill will come in handy for
the BMX Challenge later.

Be careful when going at top speed. If you smack into a pedestrian, you will
wreck (as well as killing the pedestrian).

When you max out your Cycling Skill you can do very high Bunny-Hops. It is
best to max out your Cycling Skill before doing the BMX Challenge in Los
Santos.

| A.13.E. In Cars, Motorcycles, and Boats \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

As with all the other GTAs there are plenty of cars and other vehicles to use
in San Andreas. From junkers and gang cars to the fanciest sports cars. They
are all represented.

When you first start the game and enter a car you will see that the car might
not handle too well. This is not necessarily because of the car itself but
because it is that you don't have any Driving Skill. The more you drive
around in a car, the more you increase your Driving Skill. The higher your
Driving Skill, the better the car begins to handle (although that is open for
debate).

I should note that it takes a very long time to max out your Driving Skill
but you can speed that up by doing the Driving School which opens up later in
the game.

The same principle goes for Bike (Motorcycle) Skill. The more you ride around
on a Motorcycle, the better the handling. In addition, you won't fall off as
easily when struck. Maxing out your Bike Skill doesn't take nowhere near as
long as does the Driving Skill but it will take some time to do. You may want
to max out your Bike Skill first if you want to do the Vigilante Mission on
the Cop Motorcycle.

The fastest way to max out your Bike Skill is to do the Bike School in Las
Venturas after completion of the mission "Ya Ka Boom Boom" (Loco Syndicate).

Just like in most of the other GTAs, the motorcycles are great for
exploration, jumping, and looking cool on. The single biggest advantage to
the bikes is the fact that you can shoot forward (using a submachine gun)
while riding one.

However, there are a couple of disadvantages. First, it is much easier for a
cop to knock you off and bust you than if he busts you in a car. Second, you
can easily wipe out or get knocked off by other motorists if you're not
careful.

But let's not forget the boats. Because of the vast amount of water all
around San Andreas there are plenty of boats to use. From sailboats and
speedboats to yachts and hovercrafts.

Although there are no Sailing Stats you still need to complete the Boat
School for 100% Completion.

[1] - You use this to control the main Camera inside and outside of vehicles.
When in certain vehicles, like the Firetruck, you use this to aim the
turret. You also use this to control the camera when in Cinematic
Camera Mode.

[2] - You use this in conjunction with the Look Left and Look Right Buttons
to attack from either side of the car.

On a motorcycle you can press this button by itself to fire forward.

When not doing a Drive-By this will also activate the Nitros on any
Nitros installed vehicle.

[3] - When using the User Track Station (custom soundtrack feature) you use
the following commands to control your music:

Hold Directional Pad Left to go to previous track.
Hold Directional Pad Right to go to next track.
Hold Directional Pad Up to change to previous user soundtrack.
Hold Directional Pad Down to change to next user soundtrack.

**NOTE: This is not available when playing San Andreas on the Xbox 360.

[4] - According to Allan Curtis, when you fail a mission and start it again
you may get the Trip Skip icon. When you press it you will
automatically go to the mission location instead of having to drive to
it again. However, this only occurs on certain missions like "Badlands"
(C.R.A.S.H.) where you have to drive a considerable distance to get to
your destination.

[5] - On the Monster trucks this activates the 4-Wheel Steering. This will
allow you to turn the truck on a dime.

[6] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Left Button which is situated above the
Left Trigger.

[7] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Right Button which is situated above the

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.13.F. In Planes (and Skydiving) \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

Another vehicle related Stat you can increase is the Flying Skill. The more
you fly a plane, or helicopter, the more you increase this Skill.

When you reach about 20% through maxing your Flying Skill, you will get your
Pilot's License and the gates to the runways to all three airports will open
and you will have an easier time getting to an airplane.

You can increase your Flying Skill quickly by doing the Flight School which
is opened up later in the game.

However, you can still upgrade your Flying Skill while still confined in Los
Santos. Get a car and go to the runway gate near the pink and green Nude Shop
in El Corona. Get the vehicle against the wall and climb on top of the car
then climb the wall. Then go around the chain-link fences and go to the west
end of the airport where you will see a jet (the Shamal).

**[NOTE: On the Xbox AO Version you have to be careful when trying to upgrade
your Flying Skill early. Otherwise you risk triggering what is known as
the Pilots License Bug and you will screw yourself out of game completion.
This has been confirmed fixed for the Xbox SE Version.]

If you accidentally fly into an Unwelcome Area you will get a 4-Star Wanted
Rating and you will chased by a fighter jet and be shot at by heat seeking
missiles.

Maxing out your Flying Skill won't nearly take as long as maxing your Driving
Skill especially with a jet. Maxing out your Flying Skill will automatically
give you a Parachute every time you jump out of a plane regardless of whether
or not you had one when you entered the plane.

If you want to skydive, press Exit Vehicle while in an airplane high in the
air. Push forward on the Left Analog Stick to fall faster. Press Attack to
deploy the Parachute. You can control your direction with the Left Analog
Stick. To slow your descent pull back on the stick. You can actually fly
pretty far this way.

If you have a Wanted Level while in the air you will be vulnerable to Police
attacks because you can't use weapons while parachuting.

If you haven't maxed out your Flying Skill you may want to find where the
Parachute Icons are before flying.

| A.13.J. In the Rhino \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

Although the Rhino looks cooler than in the last two chapters of GTA (it
looks similar to an M1 Abrams) it is also clearly the weakest. It is much
easier to destroy and the camera is linked to the turret thus making it quite
difficult to do the Tank Gun Boost.

However, one little advantage, is that you can shoot down low flying
helicopters in the Rhino because you can use the Right Analog Stick to aim
the gun upward.

You can earn this tank by taking one during a 6-Star Wanted Rating, from
Restricted Area (Desert), or by obtaining 100% Completion where one will
spawn near the Johnson residence in Ganton.

you. You can even shoot down low flying helicopters.

[2] - Just like on the Monster trucks, this feature, when used, will allow
you to turn the Rhino on a dime.

Left Trigger.

[4] - On the Xbox 360 this is the Right Button which is situated above the
Right Trigger.

It should be noted that due to the difficulty of flying and doing drive-bys
with the standard Xbox controller it is HIGHLY recommended that you use
either a third party controller that has extra White and Black shoulder
buttons or a PS2-to-Xbox controller adapter (which will map the White and
Black buttons to L1 and R1 respectively). I used a PS2-to-Xbox controller
adapter while playing through the Xbox version.

Those who play San Andreas (Xbox) on the Xbox 360 will have a much easier
time because of where the White and Black buttons are remapped.

| A.16. Weapons and Other Items [WPOI] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional criminal regardless
of sophistication (or lack thereof). There are 32 different weapons, in nine
different categories, that can be found and used to create mayhem and abuse.
However, you can only have one of each type of weapon at a time so you are
limited to a maximum of nine weapons.

But there are other items you can pick up that can be used for different
purposes like picture taking, jumping from high buildings, or fostering
relationships with some of the Girlfriends you can date within the game.
There are three slots for these items. It should be noted that some of these
items can be used as weapons depending on the situation.

Most of the weapons listed have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded which will
make these weapons far more effective.

Some Weapon Classes use the same type of ammo so you can easily get a lot of
ammo for a weapon by switching from one type of weapon within that class for
another within the same class. The Shotgun class is one example. You can
increase your Shotgun ammo by switching from one type of Shotgun to another
since they use the same ammo. But not all Weapon Classes allow you to do that
(an example would be the Handgun class since the Handguns in that class all
use different ammo for each type).

Most of these Weapons can be found at Ammu-Nation which will be opened after
completion of "Doberman" (Sweet Johnson). More weapons will be available for
purchase at Ammu-Nation as you progress through the game.

The descriptions of the weapons are listed here and their locations listed in
each major section of the guide:

/XXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0===============0
| Slot 1 - Fist |
0===============0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXX/

Good for hands-on fisticuffs but you can increase your damage potential by
acquiring the Brass Knuckles which can be found in various places around
San Andreas.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0========================0
| Slot 2 - Melee Weapons |
0========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These weapons are used for pounding, stabbing, and slicing your enemies.
Most of these weapons you can run with, some you can't. There are quite a
lot of choices of weapons here for the discriminating thugger.....

>>Baseball Bat
************
Great for batting practice (on somebody's head) or breaking kneecaps.
There are no Baseball Bat Weapon Icons in Los Santos but you can get one
from a angry pedestrian if he happens to be wielding one.

>>Nightstick
**********
This can be acquired from a dead Cop which is just as well, he won't be
needing it anyway (or the locker room of most of the Police Stations).
Great for when you want to enforce your own brand of law. Can't we all
just get along?......

>>Golf Club
*********
You can improve your swing and work somebody over at the same time.....

>>Shovel
******
Good for digging up secrets and burying bodies.....

>>Knife
*****
A simple effective hand-held weapon. Can be used for stealth kills. Get
behind someone, Target them, and then use the Attack button to perform a
stealth kill.

>>Pool Stick
**********
When you want to "cue" up some mayhem.....

>>Katana
******
Not as effective as it was in Vice City but still a nice melee weapon to
have.

>>Chainsaw
********
Be careful using this weapon you can't run while using it, unlike what
you can with the other Melee Weapons, so you are vulnerable to being
attacked or busted. Therefore, it has limited strategic potential. Good
for some sick thrills though.....

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0===================0
| Slot 3 - Handguns |
0===================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

There are three Handguns that can be found in the game. These guns have
Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. You can also run when holding a
Handgun. All three Handguns listed here all use different types of ammo so
you will lose the ammo for one type of Handgun if you switch to another.

>>9mm Pistol
**********
A decent handgun that can be bought or acquired from dead Cops. When
Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached you can dual-wield Pistols. You can
run with this weapon while firing it. In addition, you can also use this
weapon with the Jetpack (acquired after the mission "Green Goo" (Verdant
Meadows Aircraft Graveyard Asset)).

>>Silenced 9mm Pistol
*******************
A better version of the Pistol. More powerful and silent too. But you
have to stand still while firing it.

>>Desert Eagle
************
The best handgun in the game. You have to stand still while firing this
gun but if you are quick with your targeting, you can still make fast
work of a group of gunmen with little damage.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0===================0
| Slot 4 - Shotguns |
0===================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

The three Shotguns listed here have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. All
of the Shotguns use the same ammo so you can actually increase your Shotgun
ammo when switching from one type of Shotgun to another.

>>Shotgun
*******
Just a standard pump action single barreled shotgun. Slow on the fire
rate but still effective.

>>Sawnoff Shotgun
***************
This Shotgun has had the barrels sawn off to make it easier to conceal.
However, this greatly reduces its range. Also, this is the only Shotgun
you can run with while holding it. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is
reached you can dual-wield Sawn-Off Shotguns.

>>Combat Shotgun
**************
This cool looking rapid fire shotgun is the best shotgun in the game.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0==========================0
| Slot 5 - Submachine Guns |
0==========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These lightweight weapons can take down anyone very quickly. These are the
only weapons that can be used while in a car or on a motorcycle. These
Weapons have Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. You can run while holding
any of the Submachine Guns. All of the Submachine Guns use the same ammo so
you can actually increase your Submachine Gun ammo when switching from one
type of Submachine Gun to another.

>>Tec9
****
This has the largest magazine of this group but is less accurate and has
a slower rate of fire. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached you can
dual-wield Tec9's. You can also fire this weapon while moving. In
addition, you can use this weapon with the Jetpack (acquired after the
mission "Green Goo" (Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard Asset)).

>>Micro SMG
*********
One of the better guns here, it has a good rate of fire and accuracy. It
also has a slightly faster reload than the other guns. When Hitman Weapon
Skill Level is reached you can dual-wield Micro SMG's. You can also fire
this weapon while moving. In addition, you can use this weapon with the
Jetpack (acquired after the mission "Green Goo" (Verdant Meadows
Aircraft Graveyard Asset)).

>>SMG
***
The best Submachine Gun in the group. Has a high rate of accuracy and
fire making it perfect for drive-bys. This is the only Submachine Gun
that you can't duel-wield at Hitman Weapon Skill Level (plus you have to
stand still while firing it) but that doesn't make you any less
dangerous.....

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=========================0
| Slot 6 - Assault Rifles |
0=========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These weapons are very good for getting rid of a crowd. These Weapons have
Weapon Skills that can be upgraded. You cannot run with these weapons while
holding one. In addition, they also use the same bullets so you can
increase your ammo by switching assault rifles.

>>AK47
****
A nice solid Assault Rifle that has been around a long time and is also
easy to acquire on the streets.

>>M4
**
This Weapon has a very fast rate of fire and is generally better than the
AK47. Perfect for most missions and territory acquisition.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=================0
| Slot 7 - Rifles |
0=================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

The Rifles listed below have no Weapon Skills to upgrade. Plus you cannot
run with these weapons while holding one.

>>Rifle
*****
Good for taking out varmints like rival gang members and Cops.....

>>Sniper Rifle
************
This high powered, long distance weapon is very good for taking down
people and to explore the surroundings with because of its viewscope.
You can even crouch with this weapon making your sight more steady.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0========================0
| Slot 8 - Heavy Weapons |
0========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These are some of the most powerful weapons in the game. However, you
cannot run while holding them thus making you an easy target for law
enforcement. Plus you can't crouch either. These Weapons have no Weapon
Skills to upgrade.

>>Rocket Launcher
***************
A standard issue Rocket Launcher. Hold down the Target button to properly
aim the weapon and press Attack to launch.

>>Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher
****************************
Better than your standard Rocket Launcher because the rockets will follow
any heat source coming from a vehicle. Target your victim until the
reticle turns from green to red then press Attack to frag him.

>>Flamethrower
************
If you can't stand the heat, then get the hell away from CJ.....

>>MiniGun
*******
This powerful handheld Gatling Gun (a holdover from Vice City) is made
better because of the improved aiming system. You can shred anything in
seconds with this puppy!

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=============================0
| Slot 9 - Projectile Weapons |
0=============================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These weapons are meant to be thrown at your targets. The longer you hold
the Attack button, the farther you throw. You can run with these weapons
while holding them. These Weapons have no Weapon Skills to upgrade.

>>Grenades
********
Toss one of these and watch the crowds scatter (in more ways than
one).....

>>Tear Gas
********
This weapon is much better implemented in San Andreas than was in Vice
City. Better still, CJ is unaffected by the Tear Gas cloud. Bonus!
Outside of a kick to the groin this is probably the best way to make a
grown man cry......

>>Molotov Cocktails
*****************
Can be used to flambe' your enemies and yourself if you're too careless
in where you throw one. Best used when you acquire the Fireproof Feature
(by doing the Fire Truck Mission) to keep yourself cool when everybody
else is not.....

>>Remote Explosives
*****************
This is basically a sticky grenade that you can attach to buildings,
vehicles, and even people. Then switch to the Detonator (it has its own
slot when the Remote Explosives is used) to detonate. Lots of fun can be
had with this weapon.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0==========================0
| Slot 10 - Handheld Items |
0==========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These items listed below have multiple uses.

>>Spray Can
*********
This is used to spray over Graffiti Tags. But it can also be used like
Tear Gas to stun an enemy and if you keep spraying him it will even kill
him. Not exactly environmental friendly.....

>>Camera
******
This is used mainly for the San Fierro Photo-Ops done later in the game.
But you can recruit gang members with it and they will even take your
picture when you give them the Camera.

>>Fire Extinguisher
*****************
This is used to put out fires of course. Aim at the base of the flame and
press Attack put it out. It can also be used as an effective Tear
Gas-like weapon to stun (and kill) enemies and bash them with the unit
itself when you get close enough.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=================0
| Slot 11 - Gifts |
0=================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These items are used for dating Girlfriends. Strangely enough, you can also
use these items as weapons.....

>>Flowers
*******
For when you want to play nice and sweet you can't go wrong with
flowers.

It is important to note that once you take them from a location they will
NOT respawn so be careful when acquiring them.

>>Double-Ended Dildo
******************
For when you're feeling horny and you don't want to beat around the bush
about it (so to speak).....

>>Cane
****
For some strange reason this particular item is a gift instead of a plain
melee weapon. I know of no woman who wants a Cane for a gift. Any ideas?

>>Vibrator
********
Great for massaging those "special areas".....

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=========================0
| Slot 12 - Apparel Items |
0=========================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These items need to be worn to be used. Some of these items won't appear
until after the missions in which they are used are done.

>>Parachute
*********
When you need to bail from a plane or drop in on some unwanted guests
you'll need one of these. Press Attack to pull the ripcord and hope it
works.....

>>Thermal Goggles
***************
These goggles allow you to see the heat signature of objects especially
bodies. According to Malcrasternus, who posted this little find on the
GameFAQs Message Boards, you can use these goggles to find the San Fierro
Photo-Ops regardless of the time of day.

To use them, switch to them and press Attack. To turn them off, switch
back to them (you can have them on while using other items) and press
Attack again.

It is important to note that once you take them from a location they will
NOT respawn so be careful when acquiring them.

>>Night Vision Goggles
********************
These goggles intensify faint light and allow you to see in the dark. You
can also use these to find the San Fierro Photo-Ops regardless of the
time of day. These goggles may actually be better than the Thermal
Goggles for finding the Photo-Ops. You can see your surroundings better.

To use them, switch to them and press Attack. To turn them off, switch
back to them (you can have them on while using other items) and press
Attack again.

It is important to note that once you take them from a location they will
NOT respawn so be careful when acquiring them.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.17. Body Armor, Police Bribe, and Health Icons [BPBH] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

But Weapon and Item Icons aren't the only things you will find scattered
around San Andreas. You will also find these other icons that you can use to
help you out.

The basic information for each icon is listed here and their locations
revealed in each major section of the guide:

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0=================0
| Body Armor Icon |
0=================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

This armor-shaped icon will increase your armor rating to its maximum of
100 (the number can be seen in the Stats). When you complete Level 12 of a
Vigilante Mission, your maximum will increase to 150.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0===================0
| Police Bribe Icon |
0===================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

These star-shaped icons will drop your Wanted Rating by one star when
picked up. It is best to know where all the bribe icons are located before
doing any missions so you can quickly deal with any law enforcement
pursuit.

/XXXXXXXXXXX\
0=============0
| Health Icon |
0=============0
\XXXXXXXXXXX/

This heart shaped icon will restore your health back to its maximum.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.18. Weapon Skill and Easy Upgrading [WSEU] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

As mentioned earlier, most of the weapons you can use during the game have
skills that can be upgraded.

When you first pick up a upgradable weapon it doesn't feel all that special.
But when you reach Gangster Weapon Skill Level with it, you will see an
improvement like being able to move while aiming and shooting plus longer
range. When you reach Hitman Weapon Skill Level you will have reached the
weapon's maximum skill. When Hitman Weapon Skill Level is reached on certain
weapons you can then duel-wield them, one to a hand, allowing you to inflict
a lot more damage.

You can find out how far you have upgraded a weapon by pressing the L1 button
(PS2) or Left Trigger (Xbox) to see your stats. You can also go into the
Stats menu to see the specific point level of your current weapon. The
upgradable weapons have three rankings: Poor, Gangster, and Hitman. Each
weapon has a maximum skill point level of 1,000. When you reach 1,000 skill
points on a weapon you will achieve Hitman Level. You can generally reach
Gangster Level at about 200 skill points.

The fastest and easiest way to upgrade your Weapon Skill Levels is to do the
following:

Get a car and place it into a garage (preferably the one at your Safehouse in
Mulholland - you won't get harassed this way). Shoot the car until it starts
flaming and then run away from the garage. The garage door will then close.
Wait a few seconds and when you run back to get the garage door to reopen,
you car will be as good as new. Repeat the process until you have achieved
Hitman Weapon Skill Level on your chosen weapon.

Although you can use the Shoot-The-Tire Trick on both of the PS2 versions I
found that you can really speed up the upgrading, and use a lot less ammo, by
doing it this way.

Then there's this option that was suggested to me by Sean McCafferty:

"I've found that the lights and cardboard boxes at Emmet's place will
regenerate if you drive down the street to Denise's house and return.
So I've been able to get most of my weapons up to Hitman pretty easily
by just getting on a bike, riding to Denise's and back, and shooting
all the same lights and boxes all over again. Since it's a quiet area,
it's good because Cops don't bother you while you're shooting the place
up."

There's also this option by Victor Anni:

"Next get at least 300 ammo for your weapon of choice. Go to the front
of one of your safe houses preferably Jefferson or Willowfield. Kill a
Cop and keep killing them until the SWAT guys start dropping from the
helicopter or when your health is low. Duck into your safe house save
and come back out and repeat. Saving helps you get rid of wanted levels
and restores your health. Shooting the Cops also has the effect of
increasing your respect level (you could even max it out). I used this
strategy at the Willowfield safe house to level my silenced pistol,
shotgun and sawn-off shotgun to hitman levels within the space of an
hour and a half (maybe less wasn't really timing)."

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.19. Eating and Food [ETFD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Another thing you will need to do during the course of the game is to eat. If
you go too long without eating you will get hungry and start to lose energy.
However, you lose energy very slowly so even if you are out in the middle of
nowhere you can easily go and get food without starving to death. And you
don't even have to eat a lot either. A simple snack will do to keep from
going hungry.

Eating is the only way to get your Health back up to its current maximum.
There are very few Health Icons this time unlike in "Grand Theft Auto III"
and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".

If you wish to make CJ muscular you will need to eat large amounts of large
meals to get Fat so you can go to the Gym to convert it into Muscle. Eat too
many meals in one day however (about 11), and he will throw up.

You can also eat meals that can keep you from going hungry but without adding
to your Fat. A Salad Meal at any of the fast food places will do the trick.

There are three types of fast food restaurants in San Andreas. The
restaurants listed below are opened during and after "Ryder" (Carl Johnson).
Each place has a Map Icon for easy location:

>>The Well Stacked Pizza Co.
**************************
Map Icon: Pizza Slice.

>>Cluckin' Bell
*************
Map Icon: Chicken Head.

>>Burger Shot
***********
Map Icon: Hamburger.

There are four meals you can choose from in each place:

>>Small Meal (adds a little bit of Fat)
>>Medium Meal (adds a little more Fat than the Small Meal)
>>Large meal (has the most Fat)
>>Salad meal (has no Fat)

There are also Snack and Sprunk Machines plus Food Stands and Hot Dog Vans
spread throughout San Andreas that you can use to keep from going hungry.
They are open from the beginning of the game and their locations will be
listed in each major section of the guide.

It should also be noted that many of the Snack and Sprunk Machines are
located within the 24-7 convenience store chain found within San Andreas. The
locations of these store are also listed in each major section of the guide.

In addition, there are also Hot Dog Vans where you can get some food. These
guys tend to move around so they might not be a a location where you first
get to it. You may have to turn around and head back to get them to appear.

You can get fat from using these Machines and Vans but it will take awhile to
build up a sizable Fat Stat this way. However, you can use these machines,
along with the Beach Gym at Santa Maria Beach (Los Santos) to help build up
some muscle before you open up any of the restaurants and gyms.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.20. Respect [RSPT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

"Respect is everything" went the tagline for "Grand Theft Auto 2".

And it has been resurrected for "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". Having
respect will allow you to easily recruit gang members for various activities,
getting Girlfriends, and will impact how people look at you.

Some of the things that change your Respect are:

>>Killing Cops and rival gang members.
>>Progressing through the Main Story Missions.
>>Doing certain Side-Missions.

But there are other things that can affect your Respect.....

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.20.A. Fat, Muscle Stats, and Gyms \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

Two of the Stats that will change most often is the Fat and Muscle Stats. If
you eat a lot of meals and don't do any physical activities you will get
pudgy. This will negatively impact your ability to run and jump plus people
will make unflattering comments about you.

In addition, the stuff CJ says will change. For example, he will say things
like "Lunch money", "This should help keep my belly full", and "I'm gonna
spend this on a good meal" when he picks up money. If you get a 100% Fat Stat
CJ will be obese.

You can change this by doing physical activities like bicycling or working
out at the local Gym. When working out at the Gym you can change the Fat into
Muscle. If you work out at the Gym long enough you can make CJ really buffed
and ripped. This will also make your physical attacks a lot more damaging and
you increase your Sex Appeal which will help with getting certain
Girlfriends.

You can burn off the Fat without building Muscle. You can do things like
swimming and bicycling to do this. Once you burn off the Fat, however, you
will then start burning off the Muscle until CJ is skinny again. If you want
to keep CJ with some degree of muscular build you will have to balance eating
and working out.

There are four Gyms you can use to work out CJ:

>>Santa Maria Beach (Los Santos)
******************************
This is open from the beginning of the game and, with the use of the
Snack and Sprunk Machines, you can gain a lot of muscle before doing any
of the Main Story Missions. NOTE: There is no Gym Icon for this one on
the in-game and printed Map.

>>Ganton (Los Santos)
*******************
This is opened after doing the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet Johnson).

>>Cobra Martial Arts (San Fierro)
*******************************
This is opened after doing the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet Johnson) but
you won't be able to access it until after the mission "The Green Sabre"
(Sweet Johnson).

>>Redsands East (Las Venturas)
****************************
This is opened after doing the mission "Drive Thru" (Sweet Johnson) but
you won't be able to access it until after the mission "Ya Ka Boom Boom"
(Loco Syndicate).

When you enter the Gym there are several activities you can do:

>>Stationary Bike
***************
You use this to increase your Stamina. There are ten levels you can
select to help you get the most from using the bike.

>>Treadmill
*********
You use this to increase your Stamina. There are ten levels you can
select. The higher you go, the faster CJ has to run to keep up otherwise
he will fall off the Treadmill.

>>Bench Press
***********
You use this to gain Muscle. Select the weight you want to try and tap X
and Circle (PS2) or A and B (Xbox) alternatively and quickly to make CJ
do reps.

>>Dumbbells
*********
You use this to gain Muscle. Select the weight you want to try and tap X
and Circle (PS2) or A and B (Xbox) alternatively and quickly to make CJ
do reps.

>>Trainers
********
You can also learn new fighting moves from the Trainers in each Gym
(except for the Santa Maria Beach Gym). It is also a requirement for 100%
Completion. You have to defeat the Trainer in order to learn the moves.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.20.B. Clothes and Clothes Stores \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

In San Andreas you can change clothes to change how you look in the game just
like in Vice City. Unlike Vice City, however, you can change your appearance
in more ways than you can imagine. You can change shirts, pants, wear
necklaces, change shoes, wear hats, etc.

For those who want to go topless (if you have muscles and tattoos you want to
show off), go into your closet and use Remove Item to take off shirts and
jackets. You can also use this method to make CJ go (almost) completely naked
if desired.

Getting better clothes is one way to increase your Respect (as explained
above) and increases your chances of getting a Girlfriend (if you wish to
pursue one).

And, like in Vice City, you can also change clothes to get rid of Wanted
Ratings. But you don't need to change the entire outfit. You can just switch
one item to get rid of the Ratings.

In San Andreas, there are many places where you can get new clothes once you
have opened up the stores. Each store is represented by a shirt icon on your
map (and listed in each major section in the guide):

>>Binco
*****
Opened: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "More trash for less cash."
Notes: A budget clothes shop that looks like a thrift store more than
anything else. But you can get some decent clothes here, just not
very stylish clothes. This is where you can get green clothes for
representing Grove Street.

>>ProLaps
*******
Opened: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "Train Hard."
Notes: A sports clothes shop where you can get anything from expensive
sneakers to team jerseys. A lot of gangbangers like to wear sports
related stuff. You can gain additional respect with certain items
here.

>>SubUrban
********
Opened: After "Nines and AK's" (Sweet Johnson).
Motto: "...come to where it's apparently at."
Notes: A trendy hip-hop clothes shop. Most of the clothes are based on what
the hot music acts are wearing. Additional respect can be gained by
use of some of the items here.

>>Zip
***
Opened: After "Are You Going To San Fierro?" (The Truth).
Motto: "Clothing to get your teeth into."
Notes: A mid-range clothes shop. Better than Binco but not as good as the
others.

>>Victim
******
Opened: After "Learning To Fly" (Completion of Flight School).
Motto: "To die for."
Notes: A high class and expensive clothes shop. Clothes based on the rich
fashion styles can be bought here. A lot of respect can be bought
here too.

>>Didier Sachs
************
Opened: After "Saint Mark's Bistro" (Caligula's Palace).
Motto: "For those with discriminating taste."
Notes: A high class and expensive clothes shop. The best of everything, and
the most respect, can be bought here. Of course, you'll also spend
the most money but prestige doesn't come cheap.

| A.20.C. Haircuts and Tattoos \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

The following places will let you change certain aspects of your physical
appearance:

>>Barber Shops
************
This is where you can change hairstyles. You open up the Barber Shops when
you do the mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson). There a quite a few hairstyles
you can choose from but you can probably get the best results (in terms of
increasing your Respect) from getting the most expensive style. You can
also get rid of a Wanted Rating by getting a haircut. They are represented
by a scissors icon on your map.

>>Tattoo Parlors
**************
Another way to change appearance is to get tattooed (no, not that kind of
tattooed although I don't think you can get drunk or stoned in this game).
No, I mean as in ink. Usually the more expensive and elaborate tattoos will
be the ones that will increase your Respect the most. These shops open
after doing the mission "Ryder" (Carl Johnson). They are represented by a
"T" (Olde English Font) on your map.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.20.D. Sex Appeal \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

Changing your appearance will not only increase (or decrease) your Respect
but will also change your Sex Appeal. The higher your Sex Appeal, the greater
your chances of getting a Girlfriend (if you want one) or having "coffee"
when you do have one.

You can also change your Sex Appeal by getting into a better car as well. A
good, solid, pimped-out car will really jack up your Sex Appeal (along with
good appearance).

You can also greatly increase your Sex Appeal by collecting all 50 Oysters
found around San Andreas.

/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| A.20.E. Girlfriends \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0

As noted above, a solid level of respect can help you get a Girlfriend if you
wish to have one. However, you will get two of them simply by playing through
the Main Story Missions.

But there are several more that can be found around San Andreas. Some of them
even allow you to gain special abilities (such as being able to keep your
weapons if you are Wasted or Busted).

However, obtaining additional Girlfriends doesn't contribute to 100%
Completion so I am not going to cover them in this guide.

| A.21. Law Enforcement [LWFM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

The main enemies in the Grand Theft Auto games are the Police. They were
fairly aggressive but stupid and predictable. They were also fun to mess
around with like playing demolition derby with them at the 4-Star Wanted
Rating.

In San Andreas, however, that's all changed. Here the Cops are FAR more
aggressive and intelligent. Even at the lowest wanted level they will take
cover, block your physical attacks, and even shoot at you. In other words,
playtime's over. Now things get serious when dealing with the law.

They even have more vehicles (details a little later) including Motorcycle
Cops who will shoot at your car to try to slow you down if they are chasing
you (I hate those bastards. They really take the fun out of car chases).

When you do something bad near a Cop, like mugging a person, one of the stars
at the bottom of the HUD will light up indicating a Wanted Level. The Cops
will then try to bust you. The more stars you have, the more aggressive they
will be. There are several ways to get rid of a wanted rating.....

>>Hiding out somewhere for a bit (depending on what you've done, this
will work for up to 4-Stars).
>>Getting a Police Bribe Icon (drops the level down a notch).
>>Completing the current mission (if you get a rating during one).
>>Getting busted or wasted.
>>Driving a car (excluding rescue and most Police vehicles) into a Pay 'N'
Spray. You can also get rid of a Wanted Rating by getting a mod done to
your car at a Mod Shop. Thanks to Glen T. Winstein for that bit of
info.
>>Changing clothes at any Safe House. This will work all the way up to
6-Star. It should be noted that you have to change items for this to
work. It won't work if you use Remove Item. Thanks to CDNW for that
handy bit of information.
>>Saving your game at any Safe House. This will work all the way up to
6-Star. Thanks again goes to CDNW.
>>Getting a haircut at any Barber Shop. Thanks to Glen T. Winstein for
that bit of info.

There are six Wanted Levels. The higher you go, the more aggressive the
pursuit. Below are the six Wanted Ratings and what you can expect.....

0=======0
| 1-Star \
0=========0

You are of mild interest to the Cops. They will chase you on foot and will
whack you with their nightsticks when close enough. They will chase you for
some distance on foot unless you get a car and make a fast getaway. If you
attack a Cop with your Fist or Melee Weapon a nearby Cop may shoot at you.
When fleeing in a car, Motorcycle Cops may shoot at you to try to get you
to stop. Hiding out somewhere for awhile will get rid of a 1-Star rating
but may take awhile depending on what you've done.

0=======0
| 2-Star \
0=========0

Things get a bit more serious here. The number of Cops increase a bit and
they will start shooting you instead of whacking you with their clubs.
Motorcycle Cops will shoot at your car to try to stop you. You may be able
to wait things out in a safe area but this may take a long time depending
on your crimes.

0=======0
| 3-Star \
0=========0

More Cops will join the fray and a helicopter will start pursuing you and
will shoot at you if you stand still long enough for it to do so. The Cops
become more fearless and will stand in the open shooting at you in an
attempt to stop you. Don't be surprised to find several Cops standing there
using you as target practice if you poke your head out of a safe area. Your
best bet to get rid of a 3-Star Wanted Rating is to use a Pay 'N' Spray.

0=======0
| 4-Star \
0=========0

Now a second helicopter and the SWAT team joins in. They will try to
blockade the road with their Enforcers and rappel down from the helicopter.
They are heavily armed with powerful submachine guns will make quick work
of your vehicle when encountering a SWAT roadblock. I've had a many as
eight Cops standing in the open taking shots at me (and making the most of
them) at 4-Star.

If you're in a aircraft, you will be shot at by missiles and be chased by
fighter jets.

This is the highest wanted level you can obtain while confined to Los
Santos.

0=======0
| 5-Star \
0=========0

Now the FBI joins the pursuit with their FBI Ranchers. You can achieve this
rating after the mission "Farewell, My Love..." (Cesar Vialpando). There is
a Stat for how long you can maintain a chase with a 5-Star Wanted Rating.

0=======0
| 6-Star \
0=========0

The Army finally gets in on the fun here. They will come with Flatbeds and
Rhinos and will kill you on sight. Considering how aggressive the Cops are
in San Andreas your chances for survival with a 6-Star Wanted Rating for
more than a few seconds are very slim and probably none.

Of course, that also depends on where you hole yourself up at and what
weapons you have at your disposal. A couple of people have written me
telling me how much fun they had with a 6-Star Wanted Rating.

You can achieve this rating after the completion of "Verdant Meadows" (Mike
Toreno).

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.22. Using a Pay 'N' Spray [USPS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

As noted above you can drive a car or motorcycle, excluding Police and rescue
vehicles, into a Pay 'N' Spray to change the color of your vehicle, as well
as repair it, to get rid of Wanted Ratings at a cost of $100.

When you use the Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of your Wanted Ratings the Wanted
Rating Stars will flash for a short time. While they are flashing you are
considered to be on "probation". If you commit a crime, like running over
someone, while the Wanted Rating Stars are flashing then your Wanted Rating
will be reinstated.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.23. Busted [BSTD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

If you get a Wanted Rating and the Cops end up catching you, you are then
Busted. Any mission you were doing at the time will be Failed.

When you are Busted, you are sent to the nearest Police Station where you
will be processed (which takes six game hours) and released. You also lose
all weapons including your Body Armor (although if you date a certain
Girlfriend you can maintain your weapons and armor).

In addition, you will be fined based on the number of Wanted Rating Stars you
have when you are Busted:

>>1-Star: $100.
>>2-Star: $200.
>>3-Star: $400.
>>4-Star: $600.
>>5-Star: $900.
>>6-Star: $1,500.

There are seven Police Stations in the San Andreas area where you may find
yourself if you are Busted by the Cops:

>>Los Santos Police Department HQ (Los Santos).
>>Dillimore Police Department (Red County).
>>Angel Pine Sheriff's Office (Whetstone).
>>San Fierro Police Station (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados Sheriff's Office (Tierra Robada).
>>Fort Carson Sheriff's Office (Bone County).
>>Las Venturas Police Station (Las Venturas).

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.24. Wasted [WSTD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

If you do something to reduce your Health to zero, like being too close to an
explosion or getting shot up a lot, you will then be Wasted. Any mission you
were doing at the time will be Failed.

When you are Wasted, you are sent to the nearest Hospital where you will be
treated (which takes six game hours), billed $100, and released. You also
lose all weapons including your Body Armor (although if you date a certain
Girlfriend you can maintain your weapons and armor).

There are eight Hospitals in the San Andreas area where you may find yourself
if you are Wasted for any reason:

>>All Saints General Hospital (Los Santos).
>>County General (Los Santos).
>>Crippen Memorial (Red County).
>>Angel Pine Medical Center (Whetstone).
>>San Fierro Medical Center (San Fierro).
>>El Quebrados Medical Center (Tierra Robada).
>>Fort Carson Medical Center (Bone County).
>>Las Venturas Hospital (Las Venturas).

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.25. Police Vehicles and Vigilante Missions [PVVM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Like in the other Grand Theft Auto games, you can grab Police Vehicles and
use them in Vigilante Missions. And there are a lot of Police Vehicles you
can use for that purpose:

>>Police Car (found anywhere in the cities of San Andreas. Bonus: you get 5
Shotgun shells when entering one (if you don't already have a
Shotgun you can get a Shotgun with 5 shells)).
>>HPV-1000 Police Motorcycle.
>>Predator (Police boat - found in the water around San Andreas).
>>SWAT Enforcer (at 4-Star Wanted Rating. Bonus: you can get Body Armor
when entering an Enforcer).
>>Police Rancher (in rural countrysides of San Andreas. You can also get
Shotgun ammo by getting in a Police Rancher).
>>FBI Rancher (at 5-Star Wanted Rating).
>>Barracks (at 6-Star Wanted Rating).
>>Rhino (at 6-Star Wanted Rating).
>>Police Maverick (can be found on the roof of the Los Santos Police HQ.
Press R3 (PS2) or Right Analog Stick Button (Xbox) to
activate searchlight. Thanks to Nick Markovich for
finding that).
>>Hunter (unlocked at the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard by getting all
Golds at the Flight School).

When in a Police Vehicle, press Activate Vehicle Mission to begin a Vigilante
Mission. You will be prompted to chase and destroy a selected target, which
is another car. You have to kill all the criminals in the car before moving
onto the next level.

Sometimes, if you damage the criminal's car enough, the criminals may exit
the car to confront you. Drive-by or run them over to get rid of them. The
higher you go up the levels, the more criminals you will have to deal with
(up to a maximum of three cars per level).

In San Andreas, at later levels of the Vigilante Mission, the criminals will
shoot at you from their cars while you are chasing them. Some of them will
carry Shotguns which can seriously and quickly damage your vehicle (and
yourself if you are using a motorcycle).

It is best to get Hitman Weapon Skill Level on whatever weapon you plan to
use for the Vigilante Mission to increase your distance and rate of fire to
deal with these threats quickly.

After completing Level 12, you will be rewarded with a permanent increase in
your armor (going up to 150 maximum).

The Hunter, unlocked later in the game, is definitely the best vehicle to use
for the Vigilante Missions although using the Cop Motorcycle is also a good
way to do this mission (more details later).

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.26. Bomb Shops [BMSH] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Like in most GTA games, you can rig a car with a bomb so you can cause some
chaos or leave a nasty surprise for someone you dislike. However, there is
no icon on the map for these places so you will have to look around a bit.

These Bomb Shops are listed in the Points of Interest chapter at the
beginning of each major section.

Once a car is modified with a bomb, you prime it by using Circle (PS2) or
A/B (Xbox). Then sit back and watch the fun.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.27. Safehouses [SFHS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

There are many places in San Andreas that you can buy. Each of these places
serve as save points and each property bought will inch you closer to 100%
Completion.

Some of these properties have additional features, like garages. All
Safehouses have closets where you keep all of the clothes you get during
the course of the game.

There are several Safehouses that can be purchased at the beginning of the
game (they will show green on your map). Other properties won't be accessible
until later in the game (they will show red on your map).

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.28. Exploration and Unwelcome Areas [EXUA] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

In most of the GTA games there were roadblocks that kept you confined to a
certain area of the city until you passed a particular mission in which case
one of the roadblocks would be removed.

Of course, they could be easily circumvented by a variety of exploits so you
could explore the rest of the city and obtain items which could be used in
the early stages of the game to make things easier on yourself.

With the swimming element introduced in San Andreas you can very easily get
around the roadblocks that are supposed to keep you confined to Los Santos.

However, Rockstar implemented something that will make you think twice about
leaving Los Santos early.

When you cross the water and enter an Unwelcome Area (like Las Venturas) you
will be hit with a 4-Star Wanted Rating. As I've noted, this is a difficult
Wanted Rating to deal with. Worse still, Pay 'N' Sprays, Police Bribes, and
even the Lower Wanted Level cheats WILL NOT work while in an Unwelcome Area.

That's right. You're stuck with it until you go back to where you came from
so you can get rid of it. However, more than likely you will end up going
back in a body bag because of the very aggressive Police. This also makes
early exploration of an area very difficult.

However, because of the huge size of San Andreas, being confined to Los
Santos really isn't a Bad Thing. The Los Santos / Red County area is much
larger than Vice City with plenty of area to explore. San Andreas is also
easier to deal with when you just focus on one area at a time instead of
trying to absorb it all at once.

But you can swim around these Unwelcome Areas without getting a 4-Star Wanted
Rating as long as you don't make landfall. The only exceptions are an area on
the west side of Los Santos Inlet and the area around the Aircraft Carrier at
San Fierro.

You can also fly around in the open water all around the San Andreas area
without getting the 4-Star Wanted Rating as long as you don't fly over land
or over the Aircraft Carrier at San Fierro.

You can still do some of the challenges and tasks in the Unwelcome Areas but
the 4-Star Wanted Rating will make them much more difficult and frustrating
(but if you're looking for a nice challenge this might fit the bill).

However, over time, methods to explore the Unwelcome Areas without
interference were discovered which leads me to.....

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| A.29. Early Exploration Exploits [ERXP] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

In earlier versions of the guide there were two exploits that allowed you to
go around all of San Andreas without Wanted Ratings.

The first one could be done during the mission "Reuniting The Families"
(Sweet Johnson) (discovered by The Chadness). The second exploit can be done
during the mission "The Da Nang Thang" (Wu Zi Mu) (discovered by David Sears
and Dr. Simon Chan). There was also another mission that you could use to do
early exploration, "Are You Going To San Fierro?" (The Truth), but I had not
played with that one myself.

These exploits froze the Wanted Ratings so, at some point during these given
missions, you could leave and do unlimited exploring before completing the
mission at hand.

I had felt that these were the only missions where you could do early
exploration with. I was wrong.

I received a letter from pdescobar who was inspired by this guide to go
around and find other missions where you could freeze the Wanted Ratings for
early exploration or general mischief. With the help of two other gamers, srg
and Mxyzptlk, they found quite a few missions where you could get the Wanted
Ratings frozen and listed them in a topic at GTAForums.com.

Although they listed many missions I will focus only on those that allow for
easy early exploration (including those already listed in this guide):

>>"Drive-By" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Los Sepulcros" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Reuniting the Families" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"Are You Going to San Fierro?" (The Truth)
>>"Mike Toreno" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Outrider" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Pier 69" (Loco Syndicate)
>>"Amphibious Assault" (Wu Zi Mu)
>>"The Da Nang Thang" (Wu Zi Mu)
>>"Pier 69" (Loco Syndicate)

There are a few other missions where you can go and explore but they are
harder to take advantage of and I will leave those alone.

Some of these exploits, like the "Reuniting the Families" glitch, can leave
San Andreas a ghost town while others, like "The Da Nang Thang", will allow
you to kill pedestrians (for example) without generating Wanted Ratings.

These exploits are great for obtaining the Photo-Ops, Oysters, and Horseshoes
without interference and before the Badlands and Desert areas are officially
open.

While there are some things you can do while exploring in an Unwelcome Area,
there are things you can't do such as:

>>Enter Gyms (they don't even appear on the map).
>>Do Challenges (such as the NRG-500 Challenge).
>>Arena Events.

But you can enter restaurants, casinos, and Police stations. You can kill all
of the people in these places and not get into trouble (even in Police
stations - but you'll have to deal with the guards in the casinos and strip
clubs).

Even if you don't wish to do a lot of things around San Andreas when taking
advantage of these exploits, there are some things I highly recommend you do.

Normally, you will get at least a 4-Star Wanted Rating by going near the
Easter Bay Naval Station in San Fierro. There are two Oysters (SNF-Y26,
SNF-Y27), one Photo-Op (ESB-P30), and a Patriot you will need to acquire for
later use.

With the Wanted Ratings disabled you should go ahead and get these things
from the Easter Bay Naval Station so you don't have to fight for them later
on. Store the Patriot at the Xoomer Garage across the street west of
Cranberry Station.

I should note that trying to acquire the Photo-Ops, Oysters, and Horseshoes
will take a very long time to do in one sitting since you can't save in the
middle of the mission. One option is to do some collecting and then fail the
mission (easiest way is to kill yourself). Then save your progress, do the
mission again, and reactivate the exploit to continue exploring and
collecting.

When you are finished exploring and doing the things you want to do, head
back to the mission you were in the middle of and finish it.

The missions listed above will have a small section called "Early Exploration
Exploit" which will show you how to take advantage of the exploits.

In addition, there are other missions late in the game where you can freeze
the Wanted Ratings:

>>"You've Had Your Chips" (The Four Dragons Casino)
>>"A Home in the Hills" (The Four Dragons Casino)
>>"Los Desperados" (Sweet Johnson)
>>"End of the Line" (Sweet Johnson)

The missions listed above will have a small section called "No Wanted Rating
Exploit" which will show you when they occur.

\=========================================================================/

Below are some tips and additional information that will be of benefit to
you:

0==============0
| Crack Dealers \
0================0

Sometimes you will see a black man with a black shirt (or a white guy with
a gray jacket with hood) just standing on the sidewalk with his arms
crossed. He is a Crack Dealer. You can talk to him and give him either a
positive or negative response. However, when you see one, just run over
him. When you kill a Crack Dealer he will drop a lot of money (about
$2,000). A good way to earn some fast cash.

With that done, let's move on to the main portion of the guide starting
with.....

Los Santos, based on Los Angeles, is where you will spend a lot of time in.
There is plenty to see and do. Most of the rich people live in Richman and
Rodeo areas. A lot of the lower class people, including the Families, live in
the south and eastern parts of town.

To the north is Red County. It has lots of open countryside and small towns.
You can find plenty of places to hide from the Cops out here. The open spaces
also make it easier to do certain things, like the Vigilante Mission.

| B.I. Before Doing The Main Story Missions [BDMS] |
0===========================================================================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

To start, I'm going to do a lot of the off-story stuff before doing the first
official mission, "Big Smoke" / "Sweet and Kendl".

Since I can't fully explore the areas outside Los Santos / Red County, at
this time, my primary focus is to do as much as possible before going into
the Main Story Missions.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.1. In The Beginning..... [NTBG] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

It is 1992 and Carl Johnson is returning home to Los Santos after a five year
self-exile to Liberty City. It is not a happy occasion, however, since he is
returning home because his mother has been killed.

Upon arrival, it gets worse for him. He encounters two Cops from his
gangbanging past, Officer Tenpenny and Officer Pulaski, who are very corrupt
and frame him for a Cop's murder to drag him back into the game once again.

To top that off, they drop him into Ballas turf. The Ballas are rivals of the
Grove Street Families, the gang that Carl used to be affiliated with, and he
has to get himself out of there pronto.

All he has in front of him is a bicycle and thus the story begins.....

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.2. Burglary Mission [BRGN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Although you are alerted to this side-mission at the end of the mission "Home
Invasion" (Ryder) you can actually do this side-mission at the very beginning
of the game (thanks goes to Derrick for this bit of information).

In this side-mission you go from house to house and steal items from them.
You have to get the Boxville which is parked at the apartment complex south
of the Los Santos Gym. Then press Activate Vehicle Mission (after 20:00) to
start and you have until 06:00 to complete it. In order to get paid you have
to drop off your goods before time runs out. You have to get about $10,000
worth of stuff in order to successfully complete the mission.

In Los Santos your dropoff point is LB's garage in Willowfield just north of
the Playa Del Seville Barber Shop. The best place to do the mission is on the
very short street west of the dropoff point.

Get there before 20:00 and the moment the clock says 20:00 press Activate
Vehicle Mission. This will maximize the time you have to complete the
mission.

Find two houses that have arrows on their doorsteps preferably across the
street from each other. Better still if they happen to be at the signal light
which is as close as possible to the dropoff point.

Enter one of the houses. Like in the previous mission you have to be quiet in
order to maintain stealth. If you are detected you will have ten seconds
before the Cops arrive and you will be hit with a 3-Star Wanted Rating if you
don't get out in time. But, once outside, the countdown disappears and you
can re-enter the house.

When inside a house scope out the place a little bit. There is usually three
items worth stealing within a house. Sometimes one of the items is in the
bedroom.

If an item is in the bedroom, I sneak into the room, take the item, and run
out. It doesn't matter if I'm detected or not. I have plenty of time to get
out. Once outside with my item I drop it off in the back of the truck. Then I
run back inside the same house, grab another item, and run out before the
detection timer runs out.

Once I clean out this house, I then go and enter the house across the street.
Then I repeat the process I used on the first one. Once I clean out the
second house I then go back to the first house and repeat the process.

You see, once you start robbing another house, all of the items in the first
house reset so instead of finding a completely different house to rob you can
just go back to this one. By having the two houses you can rob across the
street from each other you can quickly accumulate items by just going back
and forth between the two houses.

Skipp Kennedy went one step better. He ran into the first house, grabbed the
first thing he saw then ran back out. Dropped off the item in the back of the
Boxville then ran into the second house, grabbed the first thing he saw
there, then ran back out. Dropped off the item then ran back into the first
house and repeated the pattern. This was faster and allowed for the
collection of more items.

When you have about 40 seconds left on the clock get in the Boxville and drop
off your stolen items. If you did everything correctly, regardless of method,
you should have at least $20,000 and successful completion of the mission.

Although this mission doesn't contribute toward 100% Completion there is
something you earn that can be very useful and is not documented within the
game but works on all versions of San Andreas (I confirmed this on all of my
PS2 and Xbox versions).

According to Glen Winstein, with help from Mxyzptlk and Craig Kostelecky, you
earn the Infinite Stamina. This means that you can run and sprint without
getting tired. Ever. Very, very useful. However, you can still earn Stamina
on your Stamina Stat but it is now irrelevant.

I should point out the on the PC AO Version it may be possible to trigger the
Pilots License Glitch by doing this mission (info courtesy of Odhita
Kamayana).

After completion of this side-mission I head up to Jefferson and purchase the
Jefferson Safehouse. And, with my remaining money, I head to my next
objective.....

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.3. Inside Track Betting and Easy Money [ITBM] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

Under the raised freeway and just south of the parking lot under the
Mulholland Intersection is the Inside Track Betting parlor.

Here you can bet on the horses. And it is here you can win a lot of money. A
whole lot of money.

Walk to the ITB Machine to play the horses. There are five choices and they
go from top to bottom from best odds to long odds. The long odds are usually
10 to 1, 11 to 1, and 12 to 1. You can also bet in increments from $5 to
$10,000.

As it turns out, based on info from the message boards, all of the horses
have the same chances of winning regardless of the odds posted. It is not
skewed to where the worst horse loses 99 time out of a hundred or where the
best horse wins most of the time. No, all of the horses have an equal chance
to win the races.

To start trying to win money bet all of your money on the bottom horse. If
you win, go back to the Jefferson Safehouse and save your game. Then go back
here to win more money. If you lose, pause, reload from your Jefferson
Safehouse save point and come back here to try again.

The maximum you can bet at any one time is $9,999,995. At 12 to 1 odds that
means you can win a maximum of $119,999,936.

However, it can become tedious trying to get that 119 million. The maximum
increment is $10,000 and you have to press the button once for each ten grand
you wish to bet. You can't just hold the button down to get it to increase.
You either have to tap fast using two fingers or use a programmable joypad to
speed things up.

Of course, having $10,000,000 plus is more than enough to get things started
so you don't have to try to get $100,000,000 unless you want to but it will
be very nice to have.

Regardless of whether or not I had over ten million or over a hundred
million, I went ahead and purchased the remaining available Safehouses.

| B.I.4. Keeping An Eye Open For Certain Cars [KPEO] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

In the later stages of the game you will need to collect cars for the
Import / Export Car Lists to get to 100% Completion.

Many of the cars can be easily found. But some of the cars are not so easy to
find. Now that I have bought all of the available Safehouses I have four
garages to store cars in.

Below is the list of vehicles you may want to look out for in your early
travels in Los Santos:

>>Feltzer (convertible)
>>Cheetah (Ferrari Testarossa)
>>Stallion (late 70s Ford Mustang)
>>Freeway (Harley-Davidson style bike)

Although you can store more than one vehicle in a garage I try to put just
one car in any garage. This will reduce, but sadly not eliminate, the
infamous Car Eating Garage Glitch.

/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| B.I.5. Oysters (Los Santos and Red County) [OSLS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

The next thing one can do here is start collecting Oysters which are spread
around the San Andreas area. There are fifty of them to acquire and it is
required for 100% Completion.

You can go swimming around the Unwelcome Areas (without touching land) safely
to acquire a lot of the Oysters. You can also max out your Health and Lung
Capacity along the way (and increase your Sex Appeal).

However, there are faster ways to get both done but it is not a bad way to do
some early exploration of San Andreas.

The fastest way to acquire all of the Oysters is to use a speedboat and
collect them either using an Early Exploration Exploit or by waiting until
all of San Andreas is open.

You will get $100 for each Oyster you collect and $100,000 (plus maxing out
your Lung Capacity Stat) for acquiring all fifty of them.

Listed below are the Oysters for Los Santos and Red County. The Map
co-ordinates refer to the printed map that comes included with the game disc:

| B.I.6. Los Santos Graffiti Tags [LSGT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/

In Los Santos there are 100 Graffiti Tags that must be spray-painted over
with the Grove Street Families tag. You're supposed to do this after the
mission "Tagging Up Turf" (Sweet Johnson) but you can do them all before
doing the Main Story Missions.

You can find Spray Cans in Las Calinas and Ganton (on top of the Pawn Shop
behind CJ's House) so you can do the Tags before doing any Main Story
Missions.

When doing the "Tagging Up Turf" mission, the six tags you covered up
beforehand will be uncovered so you can cover them back up to complete the
mission. I played around and found out that you can get all 100 Tags before
the Main Story Missions without negatively affecting "Tagging Up Turf".

One option is to wait until the mission "Tagging Up Turf" to take advantage
of the unlimited Spray Can "ammo" during the mission and do all of the Tags
then.

Another little tip is to try to get the Tags at night since they tend to be
brighter when the sun is down (making them easier to see) and blend into the
walls during the daytime (making them harder to see).

The Graffiti Tag List is broken up by neighborhood. There are 26
neighborhoods that have Tags in them.

When you find a Tag to spray paint, you use Target to aim and use the Attack
to paint. Wait until the game prompts that the tag has been successfully
painted before stopping. Make sure that no Cops are around when tagging
otherwise you will get a Wanted Rating.

When all 100 Tags are finished your Respect will increase and the following
Weapon Icons will spawn in the kitchen of CJ's House:

>>AK47
>>Tec9
>>Sawnoff Shotgun
>>Molotov Cocktails

And, according to Allan Curtis, your fellow gang members will be armed with
more powerful weapons like the SMG, Desert Eagles, and Knives.

Listed below, by neighborhood, is the Graffiti Tag list for Los Santos. The
