Grand Theft Auto 3

"Looking for Insider Cheat Codes of Grand Theft Auto 3? "






1) INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Grand Theft Auto 3 1.1 - Controls and Vehicles

Although the manual covers the setup pretty good, I felt that I shouldinclude a section on controls for those who have acquired used copies of GTA3that have no manuals.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

It should be noted that on the PC version you have the option of using theMouse for targeting and driving instead of the Keypad.

Grand Theft Auto 3 I have also included basic action and vehicle information with theirrespective control schemes.

1.1.1 : On Foot

[1] - 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 better your stamina will be.

You can solve the problem of tiring out by getting the Infinite Run feature which is acquired by successfully completing the Ambulance Mission (detailed later).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips: [2] - 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, 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 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.

[3] - When holding a gun, you hold down the Target Button target your enemy. Use the Previous Weapon and Next Weapon Buttons to switch between targets.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

[4] - You can do this for precision walking (like on a steel beam) by helping you "aim" your character in the direction you want him to face.

1.1.2 : In Cars and Boats

As with all the other GTAs there are plenty of cars to use in Liberty City.From junkers and gang cars to the fanciest sports cars. They can all be usedhere. There are also a few boats you can use when open up the other areas ofthe city.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.1.3 : In the Rhino

The Rhino is probably the single toughest vehicle in the game and is one ofthe preferred vehicles to use in the Vigilante Mission (explained later inthe guide).

You can acquire this vehicle during a 6-Star Wanted Rating andtake it from the soldiers, after the mission "Arms Shortage" (Ray Machowski),or wait until after you've completed the Main Story Missions where one willbe unlocked for you at Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus.

1.2 - The Main Screen

Your Main Screen is where all of the action in "Grand Theft Auto III" takeplace.

In the center of your screen is your main character, Claude Speed. You useyour Left Analog Stick to move him around and the Right Analog Stick torotate and manipulate the camera.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

In the lower left corner of the Main Screen is the Radar. This is used tohelp in finding your current position in the city, objectives, missionstrands, and Safehouses.

In the upper right corner of the Main Screen you will find the game clock,your Health, your Armor (when you have Armor), your money, and theweapon or item you are currently holding.

Special prompts will appear at either the upper left corner of the MainScreen or at the bottom.

1.3 - Game Menus

When you pause the game, using the Start Button, you also bring up thesemenus listed at the bottom of the screen:

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Stats

This is where the statistics for everything you do are listed.

-> Load

This is where you load saves, delete saves, or start a new game.

-> Briefs

This is where you can go through the text used in the cutscenes, missions, and outside of missions.

-> Controls

This is where you can see and setup your preferred control scheme.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Audio

This is where you control the audio in "Grand Theft Auto III" and listen to some of the radio stations featured in the game.

-> Display

This is where you control some of the visual aspects of "Grand Theft Auto III".

1.4 - Weapons

Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional criminal. There are12 different weapons that can be found and used to create mayhem andabuse.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

The description of the weapons are listed here and their locations revealedin each major area of Liberty City:

-> Fist

Good for hands-on fisticuffs when you need a little money (or just to open a can of Whoop-Ass on some poor soul).

-> Baseball Bat

Great for batting practice (on somebody's head) or breaking kneecaps. The Baseball Bat Weapon Icon is immediately available at all Safehouses.

-> Pistol

A decent handgun that can be bought or acquired from dead Cops. You can use this while running to make yourself harder to hit while taking down someone at the same time.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Uz-I

One of the better guns here, it has a good rate of fire and accuracy. Like the Pistol, you can aim and run at the same time while using this weapon.

-> Shotgun

Just a standard pump action single barreled shotgun. Slow on the fire rate but still effective. Perhaps too effective especially against cars. This is almost as powerful as a Rocket Launcher when shooting up vehicles. But you run slowly while holding one making you vulnerable to Cops and pissed-off gang members (and pedestrians).

-> AK-47

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

This powerful machine gun will make mincemeat out of anybody in your way. Like the Shotgun, you also run slowly while holding one.

-> M-16

This has a very fast rate of fire but your sight will jump all around the screen. Good for quick work once you manage to compensate for the unsteadiness of the gun-sight (you have to hold Target to properly aim the weapon). This is another heavy weapon that slows you down when trying to run with it.

-> Sniper Rifle

This fires one shot at a time and reloads slowly but it is effective. Use Target to manually aim the weapon and use the Zoom In and Zoom Out controls to help find and track your targets (the Zoom In / Out controls vary from console to console).

-> Rocket Launcher

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

This very destructive weapon is the most powerful in the game. Use Target to aim and Attack to shoot. Don't be too close to your target though - you can hurt yourself badly in the process. This heavy weapon will make you run very slowly while holding it so care must be taken when wielding it.

-> Flame-Thrower

Better than the Molotov for roasting nearby enemies because you can aim where the flames go. Its main use is against the Rhino since fire is the only thing that can destroy it.

-> Molotov

Can be used to flambe' your enemies and yourself if you're too careless in where you throw one. Can also be used to destroy the Rhino.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Grenades

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

1.5 - Health, Body Armor, Police Bribe, and Adrenaline Icons

But Weapon Icons aren't the only things you will find scattered aroundLiberty City. You will also find these other icons that you can use to helpyou out.

The basic information for each icon is listed here and their locationsrevealed in each major area of Liberty City:

-> Health Icon

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

This heart-shaped icon is used to restore your health to its maximum of 100.

-> Body Armor Icon

This armor-shaped icon will increase your armor rating to its maximum of 100.

-> Police Bribe Icon

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.

-> Adrenaline Icon

This pill-shaped icon will slow things down and give you super strength. Good for tight situations when you need a little extra help.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.6 - Law Enforcement

Every metropolis has a Police force and Liberty City is no different. Whenyou do something bad near a Cop, like mugging a person, one of the stars willlight up indicating a Wanted Rating. The Cops will then try to bust you. Themore stars you have, the more aggressive they will be. There are several waysto get rid of a Wanted Rating:

-> Hiding out somewhere for a bit (only works at 1-Star).

-> Driving a car (excluding rescue and most Police Vehicles) into a Pay 'N' Spray.

-> Getting a Police Bribe Icon (drops the Wanted Rating down a notch).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Completing the current mission (if you get a Wanted Rating during one).

-> Getting Busted or Wasted.

-> Saving your game then reloading the saved game (thanks goes to LR for that handy bit of info).

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

1-Star

You are of mild interest to the Cops. They will chase you on foot and will smack you with their fists when close enough. They would rather not be chasing you but will be more than happy to bust you if you're stupid enough to let them ("Anything you say is SHIT!!!"). Hiding out somewhere for awhile will get rid of a 1-Star Wanted Rating.

2-Star

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Things get a bit more serious here. The number of Cops increase a bit and they will start shooting you instead of hitting you with their fists.

3-Star

At this level, a helicopter will start pursuing you and will shoot at you if you stand still long enough for it to do so. And the Police will get more aggressive in their pursuit of you.

4-Star

Now the SWAT team joins in. They will try to blockade the road with their Enforcers in addition to everything else being thrown at you. This is the highest wanted level you can obtain while (officially) confined to Portland Island.

5-Star

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

The FBI will now lend their assistance in hopes of bringing you down. They will ride in black FBI Cars and carry four agents, all packing AK-47's and they are not afraid to use them. In addition, a second helicopter will join in tracking you down. The FBI Car is the only Police Vehicle that you can use in a Pay 'N' Spray. You can max out at 5-Star after unlocking Staunton Island.

6-Star

After making mincemeat of the Police force, including the FBI, the city will now call in the Army to deal with you. They will come in with Rhinos and trucks and will mainly try to kill you (but they will arrest you if the opportunity presents itself).

The soldiers will kill you quickly with their M-16's and barely getting touched (while in a vehicle) by a Rhino will spell certain death. It will be quite difficult to survive at this level for very long. You can achieve this maximum Wanted Rating after unlocking Shoreside Vale.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.7 - Using a Pay 'N' Spray

As noted above you can drive a car or motorcycle, excluding Police and rescuevehicles, into a Pay 'N' Spray to change the color of your vehicle, as wellas repair it, to get rid of Wanted Ratings at a cost of $1,000.

There are three Pay 'N' Sprays in Liberty City where you can go to get rid ofyour Wanted Ratings and repair your vehicle:

-> Red Light District (Portland Island).

-> Newport (Staunton Island).

-> Pike Creek (Shoreside Vale).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.8 - Busted

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

When you are Busted, you are sent to the nearest Police Station where youwill be processed (which takes six game hours) and released. You also loseall weapons including your Body Armor.

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

-> 1-Star: $100.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> 2-Star: $200.

-> 3-Star: $400.

-> 4-Star: $600.

-> 5-Star: $900.

-> 6-Star: $1,500.

+NOTE:

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

You won't be fined after you get Busted on your first 6-Star Wanted Rating run but you will be fined the next time you are Busted at 6-Star Wanted Rating.

There are three Police Stations in Liberty City where you may find yourselfif you are Busted by the Cops:

-> Portland View (Portland Island).

-> Torrington (Staunton Island).

-> Pike Creek (Shoreside Vale).

1.9 - Wasted

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

If you do something to empty your Health Bar, like being too close to anexplosion, getting shot up a lot, or drowning, you will then be Wasted. Anymission you were doing at the time will be Failed.

When you are Wasted, you are sent to the nearest Hospital where you will betreated (which takes six game hours), billed $1,000, and released. You alsolose all weapons including your Body Armor.

There are three Hospitals in Liberty City where you may find yourself if youare Wasted for any reason:

-> Sweeney Memorial Hospital (Portland View - Portland Island).

-> Carson General Hospital (Rockford - Staunton Island).

-> Hope Medical College (Pike Creek - Shoreside Vale).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.10 - Police Vehicles and Vigilante Missions

In GTA3, you can also grab Police Vehicles and use them in Vigilante Missions(explained later). And there are a few Police Vehicles you can use for thatpurpose:

-> Police Car (found anywhere. 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)).

-> SWAT Enforcer (at 4-Star Wanted Rating plus at the back of the Torrington Police Station on Staunton Island. Bonus: you can get Body Armor when entering an Enforcer).

-> FBI Car (at 5-Star Wanted Rating. Bonus: only Police Vehicle you can use at a Pay N' Spray to get rid of a Wanted Rating).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Rhino (at 6-Star Wanted Rating - also unlocked at Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus at the end of the Main Story Missions).

1.11 - Advanced Tips And Information

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

The Health Code

Even though you can do everything in this guide without the use of any cheat codes, I felt that I should provide this one to give the user a little bit of flexibility. There are several areas of the game that can possibly frustrate gamers and this code can be of use there. There are also a few areas where I actually encourage its use (like the Ambulance Mission).....

In [PC] :

Gesundheit

Quick Stopping

You can increase your braking power if you hold down Handbrake and Reverse together. This works well in tight spaces (especially on the Ambulance Mission).

Quick Targeting

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

When locking onto targets with a gun (like a Pistol) while holding down Target, you can use the Next and Previous Weapon buttons to switch targets. You can also let go of the Target button and quickly press it again to pick up another target (after you kill the previous one).

The Tank Gun Boost

When you want to increase the speed of the often slow Rhino, rotate the Main Gun 180 degrees so it faces the rear. Then fire the gun and keep firing. The gun recoil will then propel it forward. The faster you fire, the faster the tank will go. You can make the tank go very fast this way.

Useful Shortcuts

There are a couple of shortcuts that are very useful and will cut down on traveling time. I have given them names and refer to them throughout the guide:

-> Chinatown Shortcut

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

This is a small north-south alleyway west of Sweeney General Hospital in Portland that allows you to go from Chinatown to Red Light District without going around the buildings. It is great for eluding Police because it also contains a Police Bribe.

-> Gardens Shortcut

Directly across the street from the parking garage of your Wichita Gardens hideout is the Gardens Shortcut. There is a very large gap between the guardrails and will lead to a gently sloping grassy hillside. Going from the garage and through the shortcut will take you to the main road leading to the Porter Tunnel and Cochrane Dam. A real time saver.

Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt?

One of the things GTA3 players like to do is to get the best Insane Stunt possible. The best I have done is a Perfect Triple Insane Stunt. This is about as high as most players have gotten. There was talk about whether or not you can do a Quadruple Insane Stunt but no one has ever reported doing one and everybody said that there is no such thing.

But while perusing the "american.gxt" file on the PS2 version (with the disc inside my Mac), I came across this listing of Insane Stunts:

-> Insane Stunt

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Perfect Insane Stunt

-> Double Insane Stunt

-> Perfect Double Insane Stunt

-> Triple Insane Stunt

-> Perfect Triple Insane Stunt

-> Quadruple Insane Stunt

-> Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt

As you can see, there is a Quadruple Insane Stunt listed. But since no one has ever reported doing one I have come up with two possibilities: One, that Rockstar took out the Quadruple rating (but left the text) or two, that the requirements for a Quadruple Insane Stunt are so high that no one has figured out how to get it yet.

If anybody has managed to get either a Quadruple Insane Stunt or a Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt I'd like to hear about it and how you did it so I can put it in future revisions.

Stock-Up Trick

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

If you have a bunch of Weapon Icons at your Portland Island Safehouse you can quickly gain ammo for your weapons with this little trick.

Open the garage and remove any vehicle inside (just park it nearby for now). Then pick up all of the Weapon Icons to increase your ammo, run all the way to the back wall of the garage, and run out. You will see that all of the Weapon Icons have immediately regenerated. Repeat this until you have lots of ammo for your weapons.

According to Josh Dady, this trick also works with the Police Bribes that spawn at your Safehouses.

Then save your game, after re-parking your vehicle inside your garage, before resuming with the game.

1.12 - The Purple Nines Glitch (All Versions)

One of the most notorious bugs in the GTA series is one called the PurpleNines Glitch. This is a problem that has snared many an unwary gamer,including myself, since the PS2 version came out. Sadly, this problem was NOTfixed in the PS2 Double Pack version and even appears in the Xbox versionthough it is one of the most well known problems in GTA3.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

What is the Purple Nines Glitch? The glitch is related to the D-Ice missionsin Wichita Gardens which become available in the latter half of the game.Most of the D-Ice missions involve the removal of a rival gang, the PurpleNines.

When you first arrive at Wichita Gardens you will see plenty of gangmembers roaming about. Some will wear red shirts (the Red Jacks) and somewill wear purple (actually lavender) shirts (the Purple Nines).

After thecompletion of "Rumble" (D-Ice) you will effectively destroy the Purple Ninesand from then on you will not see any Purple Nines roaming Wichita Gardens.You will see nothing but Red Jacks.

The bug manifests itself when you decide to start a new game after "Rumble" (D-Ice) using the New Game option in the Options area. Naturally the gamewill reset everything, gangs, vehicle lists, Hidden Packages, and so on.Everything, that is, except the Purple Nines. For some reason, that remainsoff.

So when you make your way back to D-Ice and do his first mission, "Uz-IMoney" (D-Ice), there are no Purple Nines to be found - the game won'tgenerate any.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Therefore, it becomes impossible to complete the mission and you won't beable to access his other missions either thus denying you a chance at 100%Completion.

How do you get around it when you want to start a new game? There are threeways.

First, reload a saved game that is prior to "Rumble" (D-Ice) and then do NewGame.

Second, is to keep your first saved game, right after "Luigi's Girls", in oneslot and never overwrite it. Then, if you want to start a new game, simplyload up this saved game and play anew.

And third, thanks to Fred Chagnon, is to load up the game with no memory cardin the slot. After loading up the game, which will start anew because therewas no memory card in the slot to load up a saved game, then you can put inyour memory card to save any new games you come up with.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

1.13 - "Claude"

In earlier versions of the guide I had given the main character a name: Alex.This was to identify him better within the guide and give him a littlepersonality. Rockstar Games had originally not given "Alex" a name because hewas supposed to be an every-man kind of character. So I gave him one for myguide.

But, as "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" was released, there was talk that"Alex" makes an appearance and even has a name: Claude. I had doubted thename at first since I had not gotten far enough into San Andreas at thatpoint to see for myself.

However, after completing San Andreas and receiving the phone calls (with thesubtitles turned on) that mentions his name, I've come to accept that thename for the main character of GTA3 is indeed Claude and I have changed theguide to accommodate. Claude also appeared in GTA2 and his full name, in thecredits, is Claude Speed.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

According to Austin Taft the name Claude also appears in the "american.gxt"file on the PlayStation 2 version of GTA3. It appears just before the maingroup of readable text (that starts with the line "Hey! Get back in thevehicle!").

1.14 - Liberty City: 1998 to 2001

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This chapter employs some creative writing and is not part of the official GTA canon or endorsed by Rockstar Games. It is my way of linking "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" to "Grand Theft Auto III".

It also goes without saying that this is MAJOR SPOILERS for "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" so read with caution if you haven't played that game yet.

With the release of "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories", set in the year1998, we got to see what Liberty City was like prior to Claude's arrival in2001. These are some of the things that happened between the two stories:

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> While it was understandable that the ferry workers were upset over the Porter Tunnel project, no one seemed to have paid any attention to the Callahan Bridge. When the Bridge was opened in late 1998, ferry rider-ship plummeted.

Why pay for the ferry when you can go over the Callahan Bridge for free? Almost a year after the Callahan Bridge was opened the ferries were shut down. At that point construction began on the Porter Tunnel entrance for Portland Island.

The ferry terminal was dismantled and the remains, plus the dirt excavated, were used to fill in the nearby Harwood Dirt-Track. This, of course, leads to.....

-> American Road Safety for Everybody (ARSE) finally succeeded in getting motorcycles banned from Liberty City much to the dismay of the motorcycle makers who immediately took the group, and city, to court. However, as is typical of the American justice system, the legal matters are taking their sweet time going through the motions.

Although it appears that the motorcyclists may very well win the case and get the popular vehicles back in Liberty City, the shop Hogs & Cogs was forced to close after the motion was passed. The owners plan to reopen in a bigger and better location when the motion is finally overturned.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

-> Liberty City is still recovering from the Fort Staunton Disaster that claimed hundreds of lives. Many rumors still swirl about what caused the explosion (everything from sewer rats to mob involvement) but the official cause has been listed as "accidental ignition of natural gas".

That still doesn't satisfy many of the survivors. To make matters more interesting, Pan-Lantic Construction almost immediately moved in to take down the ruins and begin building office complexes where the neighborhood once stood.

The survivors filed lawsuits to stop the construction but stood little chance against Big Money which had the lawsuits quickly dismissed. Three years after the disaster, the survivors are still trying to cope.....

-> Liberty Memorial Coliseum opened with great fanfare in 1999. That's the good news. The bad news is that the football team that it is meant for, the Liberty City Cocks, suck.

The team has always been so-so but they have been on a downward turn as of late. Even the coach has called them out in the press saying that the team is "soft" and "unable to penetrate the endzone".

The fans, who have been taken to throwing bottles of erectile dysfunction pills onto the field lately, aren't helping either. As for the Coliseum's obscenely small parking lot, that's a whole other issue.....

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

2.1 - In The Beginning.....

Liberty City: 1998.

Toni Cipriani, a valued friend of the Salvatore Leone crime family, returnsfrom exile after killing a made man. Once he arrives, he begins an odysseythat will eventually bring Liberty City under Leone control and bring peaceto the local criminal underworld. Temporarily, at least.....

Liberty City: 2001.

A ruthless small time criminal, and our "hero", Claude Speed, is involved ina robbery with a couple of accomplices at the Liberty City Bank. As they maketheir getaway, with Claude trailing, a gunshot is heard.

The woman, Catalina, has killed one of the accomplices and now has her sightson Claude. She shoots Claude, leaving him for dead but he survives.Unfortunately, for Claude, he is put on trial and sent to prison for tenyears.

As Claude is being transferred to Liberty Penitentiary, the prison van isambushed while on the Callahan Bridge. It appears that one of the otherprisoners is being rescued by a group of Columbians.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

However, Claude and another prisoner, 8-Ball, take advantage of the situationand manage to free themselves. As they set themselves free, a bomb, that wasthrown onto the bridge by the Columbians, explodes. This leaves a huge gap inthe bridge and destroys most of the vehicles on it.

Now begins the first mission of the game, "Give Me Liberty", a simple drivingmission to a little Safehouse in the Red Light District of Portland Island.This also serves as simple tutorial to the driving and map mechanics.

You can collect Hidden Packages (to gain Weapon Icons) and Unique Stunt Jumpswhile driving around during "Give Me Liberty". But you can't do Rampages orany vehicle mission. Just park the Kuruma (with 8-Ball inside) and jackanother car to do other stuff. When you are finished, go back to the parkedKuruma and go to the Safehouse.

When you arrive at the Safehouse, your new friend, 8-Ball, tells you to go toa place owned by a guy named Luigi. You can't save your game yet so go toLuigi's.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

When you arrive at Luigi's, you start the mission titled "Luigi's Girls".After a brief introduction, Luigi tells you to get one of his girls from theclinic. This is nothing more that a simple pick-up mission. Take the car,drive over to the hospital, pick up Misty, and drive her back to Luigi'sclub. You will then earn $1,500 for mission completion.

After that go back to your Safehouse and save your game.

2.2 - Before Doing The Main Story Missions

To start, I'm going to do as much of the off-story stuff as possible before doing the second mission for Luigi, "Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up" (Luigi Goterelli). A lot of this stuff can be done in any order but doing somethings in a certain sequence will be of most benefit to you (like doing theAmbulance Mission (for Infinite Run and Adrenaline) and collecting HiddenPackages for Weapon Icons for my Safehouses.

2.3 - Your Safehouse

To get to the garage, when you enter through the main gate at the docks, cutthrough the parking lot on the left going northeast. When you get to whereyou see two paths (where three buildings meet) take the left one. Followalong the right side of the path (it will curve alongside the building onyour right) and it will take you to the Industrial Import Export Garage.

There are 16 vehicles listed that you need to collect. For each vehicle youobtain you will get $1,000. If you get all 16 vehicles listed you will get a$200,000 bonus plus you can have unlimited use of the cars you havecollected.

Just walk into the garage and pick one of the vehicle icons. You will then beinstructed to exit the garage and in a few seconds, your new car will be madeavailable to you.

Below is the vehicle list as well as where to find them. These are some ofthe more reliable locations and missions to find the vehicles. "Generated atrandom" means that you have to wait for them to spawn on their own before youcan acquire them:

You don't have to complete the list before doing any of the Main Story Missions. As you can see, it is sometimes easier to wait for certain sections to open or do certain missions to get the cars you want. This applies to allof the car lists in the game.

2.9. Emergency Vehicle Crane

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

At the north part of the Portland Docks area and east of the IndustrialImport Export Garage is the Emergency Vehicle Crane. This works just like thenearby garage except it involves Police, rescue, and army vehicles.

There are seven vehicles to collect, with a $1,500 bonus for each one, and ifyou get them all you will be rewarded with a $200,000 bonus plus unlimiteduse of the vehicles. Choose the vehicle icon of the one you want and wait asthe crane delivers the car to you.

Where to drop the vehicles off isn't obvious at first. To the east of theIndustrial Import Export Garage you'll notice a bunch of multi-coloredcontainer crates with a Yankee parked against it.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Just before the crates you'll notice some dark yellow diagonal stripes on theground with what appears to be a magnet overhead. This is the area for theEmergency Vehicles to be dropped off. If you try to drop any other vehiclethere you'll get the "We're not interested in the model" message.

You don't have to get all of the vehicles before doing the Main StoryMissions. Besides, you can't get the FBI Car until you unlock Staunton Island(so you can get a 5-Star Wanted Rating) or the Rhino until you unlockShoreside Vale (so you can get a 6-Star Wanted Rating - unless you want touse the Rhino spawn cheat....).

Below is the vehicle list as well as where to find them:

2.10 - Ambulance Mission

Now that I have familiarized myself with Portland Island, it is time to dothe Ambulance Mission.

Let's face it, this mission is a pain in the ass. An unstable vehicle, nofull map, less durability, and the arbitrary time amounts make this a lotharder than it needs to be.

By doing this now, I can acquire Health andAdrenaline Icons at my Safehouses and the Infinite Run feature uponsuccessful completion. And once this is done, you don't have to worry aboutthis anymore and focus on the other tasks at hand.

Even though Staunton Island is flatter terrain, the best place to do theAmbulance Mission is at Portland. On both Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale,you have to deal with the hostile Columbians who will try to yank you fromyour Ambulance and, if they do that, you will fail the mission. At this earlypart of the game, you don't have to worry about any hostilities on PortlandIsland (yet).

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

The best thing to do beforehand is to practice driving the ambulance aroundbefore doing the mission, especially around the hills of St. Marks. Learn howto stop the thing properly so you can lessen the risk of killing patients.Learn the Health Code, you will probably end up using this during themission. Go back near Sweeney General Hospital and start the mission whenyou're ready.

When the mission begins, you are at Level 1 and you have one patient todeliver to the hospital. At each level you complete, the number of patientsincrease by one so at Level 2 you have two patients, at Level 3, threepatients, and so on. There are a total of twelve levels to complete tosuccessfully accomplish the Ambulance Mission.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

The ambulance can only carry three patients at a time so you will have tothink in groups of three when doing the later levels. See how the green dots(the patients) are grouped along the edge of your compass and try to plan agood route to get to your patients.

Try to go for the furthest patient firstand work back to the hospital. If you don't think you will have enough timeto get the furthest one first, get the first one on you see on the way thenmake your way to the furthest patient.

When approaching a patient, Make sure that the patient is on the right ofyour ambulance and don't get too close as the patient is running toward yourvehicle as you approach. When the patient just starts to get in theambulance, go.

This will save a second or two. Use your siren as this causesthe cars to either stop or turn away from you making it a little easier toevade them. Use the Health Code, if necessary, when your Ambulance is smokingwhile you are dropping off patients at the hospital.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

When you complete Level 12 you will successfully complete the AmbulanceMission and gain the Infinite Run feature (never tire when running).

In my previous versions of the guide, I had said the following:

"If you own the Original PS2 version, you have to successfully rescue aminimum of 50 patients (at the completion of a level) to get the Health Icon and a minimum of 100 patients (total) (at the completion of a level) to get the Adrenaline Icon for all of your hideouts during the Ambulance Mission.

"If you own the PS2 Double Pack, Xbox Double Pack, or PC versions, you have to successfully rescue a minimum of 30 patients (at the completion of a level) to get the Health Icon and a minimum of 75 patients (total) (at the completion of a level) to get the Adrenaline Icon for all of your hideouts during the Ambulance Mission."

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

But one my readers, Dan Schauer, indicated to me that there were no changesat all to the Ambulance Mission rewards:

"I have the original version (I think, unless Rockstar did multipleversions Pre-Greatest Hits, like they did with Vice City). I can say for a fact that it is NOT a Greatest Hits or Double Pack version. AndI've never had the problem mentioned, that you need 50/100 patients for the Health/Adrenaline.

My understanding on how it works is this.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

You need 35/70 patients for the Health/Adrenaline pickups to appear at your hideout (read from Minesweeper's walkthrough on Gamefaqs.com, the numbers could be a little off).

But, either because of a bug, orintentionally, it will not page you until you've completed an ambulance level, or lost the level with the required number of patients saved.(assuming all in one run, with no patients saved prior to this point)

Ambulance Level 7 completes at 28 patients, and level 8 completes at 36, but you do not get notified of the Health until after level 8, orif you lose level 8 with the required number of patients saved.

Similarly, Ambulance levels 11 and 12 finish at 66 and 78 patientsrespectively. The game does not page you about the Adrenaline until the completion of level 12 (when it also pages you about infinite run), or if you lose level 12 with the required number of patients.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

"In the DP version, if you're good enough, you can get everything in one run because you can rescue 78 patients in the 12 levels of theAmbulance Mission." (from your FAQ)

In the version I have (which is the original as far as I know), I'm able to do this too.

Just pointing this out. I don't know who's had problems with the50/100, but I never have."

I did the Ambulance Mission in one run in the Original Version and Dan wasright about the info he presented. So the Ambulance Mission is the same forall PS2 versions (Original, Double Pack, Greatest Hits), PC version, and theXbox version.

I also had a gentleman named Haenlomal inform me of a bug that messes up howthe patients are counted during the mission:

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

"How the Paramedic Mission bug REALLY works in GTA 3

"The count of the number of people rescued in Paramedic missions is bugged. Essentially, the number of people that the Stats screen says that you've rescued is not necessarily the same number the game thinks that you've rescued!

For simplicity's sake, let's refer to the number shown on the Stats screen as the "external number", and the number that the game thinks you've rescued as the "internal number". When it is written that (for example) you need to have rescued 35 people to get the health pickup, this is refering to the internal number!

I've noticed that this is a major source of confusion for a lot of players,

so I hope this clears up the issue once and for all.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Here's how the bug works: whenever you drop off patients at the hospital, the external number is updated. However, the internal number is updated *ONLY* at the (successful) conclusion of each Paramedic level. (In other words...oops! Someone at Rockstar was asleep behind the wheel on this one...)

An example should help make this clear: Suppose you start doing Paramedics mission in a game where you've never done them before. And suppose that you've completed Paramedic levels 1 to 3 without any problems.

At that point, the external number should read 6 (1+2+3=6), and since the internal number is updated at the end of every Paramedic level, it is also 6. So far so good!

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Now, on Paramedic level 4, suppose that you successfully dropped off the first 3 patients at the hospital, and are on your way to the last patient. At this point, the external number would read 9 (6+3=9), but because the internal number would not be updated until the level is successfully done, it is still sitting at 6!

Alas, tragedy strikes, and you accidentally kill your last patient. So, you've successfully dropped off a grand total of 9 patients at the hospital, and the external number in the Stats screen reflects that. However, since you failed to complete Paramedic level 4, the internal number sits at 6! And the game engine itself displays that. At the conclusion of the mission, the following message flashes on the screen:

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

"Paramedic mission ended. People saved: 6"

And there is the bug in all its ugly glory! The only solution to all this is to keep track of the internal number yourself until you get the 35 needed for the health pickup, or the 70 needed for the adrenaline pill...yeah, yeah, I know, it sucks. :P

Incidentally, note that because the internal number only gets updated at the end of each Paramedic level, the only time you can actually receive an award is at the end of a Paramedic level. Sometimes, this means that your internal number would have exceeded the requirements. Don't worry, you still get your reward. :)

So, the final conclusion? Yes, 35 rescued is the requirement for the health pickup, and yes, 70 rescued is the requirement for the adrenaline pill. However, these figures apply only to the *internal* number. The external number (the one that is actually shown on the Stats screen) could be anything greater, depending on how much you have messed up in the paramedic mission attempts!"

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

And I had another reader, Mr. Spock, give me this information:

"FYI ? Just to clarify the rewards a little on the ambulance mission in GTA III; the health icon becomes available after 35 saved people and the adrenalin icon after 70.

That's cumulative and it doesn't matter whether or not it took 70 tries all at mission level 1, i.e. like in the pause menu under stats it would say "people saved 70" and "highest ambulance mission 1". But it takes completing mission level 12 to get the infinite run. So, completing level 12 gets you all three."

With the Infinite Run feature obtained I will go on to.....

2.11 - Rampages Explained

As you go around the city, you will notice some skull icons laying about.These are the Rampage Icons.

When one is activated, you will be instructed to kill or destroy certainobjects within two minutes and with a given weapon with unlimited ammo (thatyou can't switch out of during the duration of the Rampage). The people thatyou are instructed to kill are always gang members and you can pick up moneyand weapons dropped by your victims during a Rampage.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Each Rampage in GTA3 has two locations, a primary and a secondary location.If you fail the Rampage at its primary location, the Icon will move to asecondary location. If you fail the Rampage at its secondary location, theIcon will move back to its primary location.

There are a total of 20 Rampages in GTA3. The numbers go from north to south,west to east. The primary location is designated as "A" and the secondarylocation is designated "B".

Your reward for finishing Rampages will increase by $5,000 for each one completed and you will get a $1,000,000 bonus for successfully completing all 20 Rampages.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

One of the annoying things about the Rampages in GTA3 is that even if you are in the right position and doing the right things, the game may decide to not generate enough targets to complete the Rampage. This was something that was fixed, for the most part, for the other GTAs but has to be endured here.

2.12 - Rampages (Portland Island)

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Listed below are the six Rampages for Portland Island and the strategies foreach location:

[R1] - Kill 20 Mafia (AK-47)

Locations:

[STM-R1-A] - Between the car garages east of Cipriani's Ristorante (near the Mafia Sentinel) in St. Marks.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Notes: Drive up to the Icon, get the Icon, and then go up to the entrance of Salvatore's Mansion. The Mafia are very hostile so they will gang up on you when attacked. The wall will help shield you from them while you take out those near the entrance.

Go around the wall a little bit and take out those on the other side of the wall then go back behind the wall and get the ones that generate near the entrance. Repeat until complete.

[STM-R1-B] - In one of the backyards running along an alleyway south of Cipriani's Ristorante. From Cipriani's Ristorante, go south to the next block and turn left into the alley right next to a shop with green awning. Once inside the alley, head east and turn left at the first opening on the left then turn left again. You should see the Rampage Icon against the wall.

Notes: Do the same thing here.

[R2] - Murder 30 Diablos (M-16)

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Locations:

[RLD-R2-A] - At the base of the stairs leading to the top of Woody's Topless Club (across the street from Sex Club 7) in Red Light District.

Notes: Go down the street and pick off the Diablos as they appear. Like the Mafia, they will generally gang up on you when attacked. Unlike the Mafia, however, they will either be unarmed or have a Baseball Bat as they attack. Their fists and bats won't do a lot of damage plus they make easy targets when they rush you. A fairly easy Rampage.

[CHT-R2-B] - On the ground on by the west side of Old School in Chinatown.

More Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips:

Notes: Do the same thing here.

[R3] - Destroy 10 Vehicles (Grenades)

Locations:

[STM-R3-A] - On the elevated train tracks above the intersection north of Sweeney General Hospital in St. Marks.

Notes: Go up the stairs leading up to the train platform in St. Marks and drive to the Icon. Get the Icon and drop a Grenade by your car then drop down to street level.By blowing up your car, you take care of one vehicle leaving nine to blow up.

Run up to cars and drop a Grenade near the front then run away so you don't get caught up in the blast. Pedestrians will attack you but you can easily outmaneuver them. You can also blow up the two cars in the SupaSave! Store parking lot not far from your position if you need to.

[TTN-R3-B] - On the elevated train tracks north of Joey's Auto Painting in Trenton.

Notes: Do the same thing here but you can blow up the two cars at the AMCO office southeast of your position if you need to.

R4] - Kill 20 Triads (Shotgun)

Locations:

[TTN-R4-A] - In the alley between Liberty Pharmaceuticals (Portland Island) and Mean Street Taxis in Trenton.

Notes: Get the Icon and go into the street to get the Triads.You can't run very fast because of the Shotgun and the Triads will gang up on you when attacked and they wield Baseball Bats and Pistols. But the powerful

Shotgun will kill in one shot when up close so this Rampage isn't too hard even though they will take off armor and possibly some health while doing it.

[PLV-R4-B] - On the ledge on the east side of Sweeney General Hospital in Portland View.

Notes: Do the same thing here.

[R5] - Kill 25 Triads (Uz-I)

Locations:

[CHT-R5-A] - By the stairs in the middle of the China Building in southwest Chinatown.

Notes: The Uz-I is the same weapon that is used for drive-bys. So get into a car and drive-by the Triads to complete the Rampage. This will make the Rampage very easy (unless you are not any good at doing drive-bys).

[PLV-R5-B] - On the ground right by the northwest corner of the SupaSave!Store in Portland View.

Notes: Do the same thing here.

[R6] - Destroy 13 Vehicles (Rocket Launcher)

Locations:

[TTN-R6-A] - Just inside the entrance of the large building east of the Old School in Chinatown. In an alley east of the Old School in Chinatown. From the entrance of the parking lot for the Old School, head east and through the intersection. Turn right at the alley just past the intersection. Once past the entrance, look right. The Rampage Icon should be in the corner.

Notes: Drive to the Icon, get the Icon, and then drive to the AM Petroleum Company (Portland Island) nearby and take out the two cars parked there. Then drive over and destroy the Perennial parked in the street near the Portland View Police Station, the two cop cars at the Police Station, and the Ambulance at the hospital.

Then zip over to Portland Docks and destroy all the vehicles parked around the place including your own if you need to.

[CPT-R6-B] - By a tree behind the wall of the large building east of Greasy Joe's Diner in Callahan Point (on the south side of the building not far from the gate).

Notes: Do the same thing but start at Greasy Joe's Diner which is nearby and destroy the three vehicles there.

2.13 - Unique Stunt Jumps Explained

All around Liberty City you will find objects that can be used as ramps forvehicle jumping. Usually, on most jumps, you will just get some additionalmoney and not much more.

But on some jumps you will get a slow motion cutscene as you fly through theair. These jumps are known as the Unique Stunt Jumps and, if you completethem correctly, will add toward 100% Completion.

The best vehicle to use, for all of the jumps, is clearly the Cheetah unlessnoted. There are a total of 20 Unique Stunt Jumps in the game.

Your reward for finishing Unique Stunt Jumps will increase by $5,000 for each one completed and you will get a $1,000,000 bonus for successfully completing all 20 Jumps.

2.14 - Unique Stunt Jumps (Portland Island)

Notes: Use the sidewalk that goes alongside the Turtle Head Fishing Co. to get enough speed for the jump and you have to land on your wheels to get credit for the jump.

2.15 - Vigilante Mission (Portland Island)

(Before you do this mission it is recommended that you acquire a lot ofUz-I ammo for doing drive-bys and know where all of the Police Bribes are -for controlling your Wanted Ratings.)
