My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA). I also own multiple systems such
as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation
(1, 2, and 3), Original Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have
extended the play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many
times over plus I have received many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of
the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their "RGB + Video Discussions" forum
area from time to time.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums, and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf". I am also a long time soundtrack collector
with many titles in my possession. As far as favorite sports teams go, my
teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) [the local team], the Denver Broncos
(NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am originally from Colorado Springs,
Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA Football).
This guide was constructed using TextWrangler on an Apple Mac Mini. I view my
work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and correct
format errors.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Welcome to my "Grand Theft Auto V" guide! In this document you will find a
lot of useful information in a highly organized format that you can use to
beat all of the missions of the game. Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are
presented "as is" and may include spelling and grammatical errors.
The main emphasis of this guide is to provide creative and simple solutions
to many of the missions in the game. I have worked hard to make sure that
this guide is as complete as possible but at the same time leave room for
exploration. I hope that you enjoy this guide as much as learn from it.
While this guide was written initially for the Xbox 360 version of the game,
it should also benefit those with the PS3 version. If any of the strategies
in this guide won't work in the PS3 version then feel free to write me and
let me know so I can make additional adjustments in future revisions.
Although there are some new weapons that are made available through DLC this
guide is written with the base weapons provided through the Main Story.
Another emphasis of this guide is *ORDER*. If you do the missions and tasks
in a certain order then the game will be easier and more fun for you. You
don't absolutely have to do them in the order I have suggested but, as you
read the guide, you will see how it benefitted me.
Each collectible and activity has a letter designation to make them easier to
identify in this guide. In addition, there is a three letter Region Prefix
(listings below) indicating a particular area where the item or activity can
be found (in these examples I use "XXX"):
>>Stunt Jumps will be identified with an "J".
--Example: Jump XXX-J21.
>>Bridges will be identified with an "B".
--Example: Bridge XXX-B19.
>>Knife Flights will be identified with an "KF".
>>Letter Scraps will be identified with an "LS".
--Example: Scrap XXX-LS46.
>>Spaceship Parts will be identified with an "SP".
--Example: Part XXX-SP47.
>>Nuclear Waste will be identified with an "NT"

GTA V is the most ambitious title that Rockstar Games has ever produced. It
has also shattered sales records with amazing speed. It features three
protagonists and has a very large map that covers a variety of terrain in
including a fantastic underwater world. The story focuses on heists and the
lives of the three "amigos" that pull them off. Although this is an awesome
game it does have some flaws.
Because of the three protagonists the story seems to feel a bit unfocused and
the Cops are probably the toughest of all the GTAs (although once you get
better weapons and upgrade certain Skills then they will be easier to deal
with).
The radio is also a mixed bag (you could say the same of most of the other
installments) with some glaring omissions (lack of a metal station and a new
age station given the involvement of Tangerine Dream on the soundtrack).
With that said let's look over the game in detail.....

| >GEN3. Game Installation and Technical Data |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Because GTA V is a very large game you will need to install it to hard drives
and/or flash drives before being allowed to play. Below are install data and
other technical information:
0=========0
| Xbox 360 \
0====================================================>
This version comes on two discs. One of them must be installed onto a a
hard drive and the other must be played using at least the DVD-ROM drive.
But you should not install both discs to the hard drive. According to
Rockstar, because of how the game is programmed, you need to read the data
from two different sources. Otherwise glitches and other problems may
appear.
Thankfully you can use flash drives on the X360 and install one of the
discs there if you do not wish to use the DVD-ROM drive. Based on
information from various forums it is best to use a flash drive with a high
transfer rate and install the Install disc to it. Then install the Play
disc to the hard drive. You still need to put the disc into the DVD-ROM
drive but this is mainly for verification purposes.
The game will recognize multiple sources of game save data (HDD, Memory
Unit, USB Drive) and you can switch between them if needed. However, you
can only save fifteen saves to a device. If you wish to archive multiple
saves then you will need multiple devices.
0==============0
| PlayStation 3 \
0====================================================>
This version, which is a single large capacity Blu-Ray disk, can be easily
installed onto the console's hard drive. However, only 8GB will actually be
installed - the remainder of the game remains on the disc and can only be
played from the Blu-Ray drive. As a result, game loading and reloading is
much slower than the Xbox 360 version.
The game will only recognize one source of game save data (HDD). You can
still archive saves to other devices such as an SD Card but it must be done
at the dashboard.
Although it looks like you could archive a lot of saves to a single
external device the machine will only allow you to save fifteen saves to
one (just like the Xbox 360 version). In order to use an archived save you
must overwrite a save on the HDD while at the dashboard before starting the
game.
Transferring game saves from one machine to another, such as in the case of
machine failure, can be problematic. To prevent game save tampering the
programmers made it harder to transfer saves from one machine to another.
The only preferred method for transferring saves is to move them into PSN's
cloud server then onto the new machine.
If you used other devices, such as an SD Card, then you may run into the
"You did not create this game save" problem which will cause you not to be
able to use that save even though all you are doing is moving them to
another machine. According to a friend of mine this is related to
unformatted devices.
If the device is not formatted by the PS3 then any GTA V save from it will
not be recognized and cannot be used. The reason for that is GTA V is
programmed in such a way is that if the save device is not PS3 formatted
then it is assumed to be a third party device and further to be assumed to
be a cheat device thus the restriction on saves.
If the device is PS3 formatted then you should have no problem transferring
saves from one machine to another.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy as you think to PS3 format devices. The
only way to properly format save devices is through the built-in media
slots on the old original PS3 "Fatty" units. You cannot format devices
through the USB slot even if you attach a multi-card reader to it.
Fortunately there are programs out on the net that will allow you to resign
saves so you can use them again on a new machine.
The majority of games will allow you to move saves between machines using
standard Windows formatted devices. Only a handful of games, such as in the
case of GTA V, restrict movement of saves.

As with all the other GTAs, there are plenty of vehicles to use in GTA V.
From cars and motorcycles to speedboats. They can all be used here. When
driving a vehicle there are some things to note.
First, if you smash into something hard enough, you may go flying out of the
windshield of a car.
Second, if you fling yourself out of a car or off a motorcycle at a high rate
of speed, you will seriously hurt yourself. The faster you go, the more
damage you will suffer.
And, finally, you can shoot 360 degrees from a vehicle (good for slowing down
Police pursuit) and you can use multiple weapons while driving.

In addition to the above vehicles you can control, there are two modes of
alternate transportation you can use to get around Los Santos:
0======0
| Train \
0====================================================>
Los Santos has an extensive train system that runs under the north,
southeast, and airport areas. All you have to do to use the train is to
enter one when it stops at a station. You'll automatically sit down when
the train starts then get up again when it stops. Then you can walk out
when you feel you are close to your destination.
0=====0
| Taxi \
0====================================================>
Another mode of alternate transportation is the Taxi Cab. Use D-Pad Right
to hail when you close to one on foot and tap the Enter Vehicle button to
enter as a passenger. You can then select from various destinations but
only the ones that have an icon on the map. You can select to hurry the
ride, skip to the end, or simply enjoy the experience.

| >GEN7. The Three Protagonists |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Although GTA V has a bunch of new and interesting features the biggest one by
far is the fact that you control three people instead of one. This makes for
an interesting and intriguing gaming experience. When you unlock the other
characters then hold Down on the D-Pad to bring up the Character Wheel which
will appear at the lower right corner of the screen. Then use the Right
Analog Stick to select your character.
You will then zoom out into the sky away from the previous character and zoom
in on the new one. As you finish zooming in you may find your selected
character in the middle of some activity, sometimes humorous.
Each of the three characters has a color designation that gives you an
indication of what missions and activities are available to him:
--Franklin (green)
--Michael (blue)
--Trevor (orange)
When you bring up the Character Wheel you may see a number attached to each
person. This indicates how many open missions are available to him. It is
also important to note that you cannot switch characters when you have a
Wanted Rating.
Another thing to note about the three men - each has a different sleep rate.
This means that when you make a character sleep the rate of time passage is
different for each one: Franklin (eight hours), Michael (six hours), Trevor
(twelve hours).
Finally, each character has his own personal car which can always be found at
his Safehouse. Franklin has the Buffalo, Michael has the Tailgater, and
Trevor has the Bodhi. You can wreck or lose the car somewhere and go back to
your Safehouse to get another one. It is highly recommended that you mod your
car as soon as possible to improve its speed and handling which will be
useful on many missions.

| >GEN8. The Main Screen |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Your Main Screen is where all of the action in GTA V takes place.
In the center of your screen is your selected character (Franklin, Michael,
Trevor). You use your Left Analog Stick to move him around and the Right
Analog Stick to rotate and manipulate the camera when he is standing still.
In the lower left corner of the Main Screen is the Radar. This is used to
help in finding your current position in the city, objectives, mission
strands, Safehouses, and other areas.
There is also a line, broken into three segments, that is under the Radar.
This line represents the following:
0===========================================================================0
| Health | The green portion of this line is the longest. When it |
| | is gone then you will be Wasted. However, when it is |
| | down under 50%, then it will regenerate up to 50%. |
| | |
| | You have to be standing still in order for this to |
| | happen. You can improve your ability to sustain damage |
| | by increasing your Strength Skill (covered later). |
|-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
| Armor | The blue portion of this line represents the amount of |
| | Body Armor you have. When it is gone then you will |
| | start losing Health when you take damage. |
|-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
| Special Ability | The yellow portion of this line represents how much you |
| | can use your Special Ability. Each character has a |
| | special talent that requires certain actions to fill up |
| | this portion of the line. |
0===========================================================================0
In the upper right corner of the Main Screen you will find the amount of
money you have (and your Wanted Rating if any). However, most of the time
there will be nothing in the upper right corner. You have to press D-Pad Down
or come back from a paused game to get the info to appear.
Special prompts will appear at either the upper left corner of the Main
Screen or at the bottom. When you open your Cell Phone it will appear in the
lower right part of the screen.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
When you bring out the Character Wheel, or go into the Stats sub-menu when
paused, you will see the Skills for your characters. This was something that
was used for "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" and brought back for GTA V. Each
character has various Skills that, when increased, will improve him and make
him easier to use.
0===========================================================================0
| Special | This is tied into your Special Ability. The more this is |
| | filled out, the longer you can use your Ability. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Stamina | This determines how long you can run before over-exerting |
| | yourself. If you over-exert yourself too much then you |
| | will start to lose Health. Increase this Skill by running |
| | and swimming. When this is maxed out then you will gain |
| | infinite stamina. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Shooting | This determines your shooting ability. The more this line |
| | is filled out, the more you can dampen recoil, reduce |
| | reload time, and increase your ammo capacity. Increase |
| | this skill by shooting at people and scoring headshots. |
| | |
| | However, this will attract the attention of the pesky |
| | Cops. The best, safest, and quickest way to improve your |
| | shooting skill is to do the Shooting Range at either of |
| | the two Ammu-Nations that have it. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Strength | Improving this Skill will improve your melee damage, |
| | speed when climbing ladders, and limit damage to you. You |
| | can increase this skill by getting into melee combat and |
| | doing various sports activities. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Stealth | This determines your ability to remain undetected. You |
| | can increase this Skill by sneaking up on people and |
| | taking them down quietly. |
| | |
| | An easy way to max out this skill is to get into sneak |
| | mode (Left Analog Stick Button), make your character walk |
| | in a circle, and tape down the stick. Then do something |
| | else for awhile and let the game do the work for you. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Flying | This determines your ability to fly aircraft. When you |
| | fly either a plane or a helicopter it will bob and weave |
| | because of your lack of skill and ability to handle |
| | turbulence. Increasing this Skill will reduce, but sadly |
| | not eliminate, the weaving. |
| | |
| | To increase this Skill you need to fly aircraft. However, |
| | this takes a very long time to do (about 1% for every ten |
| | real time minutes). You can quickly increase this Skill |
| | by flying under certain bridges ("Under the Bridge" |
| | challenge) or by doing the Flight School. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Driving | This determines your ability to pop wheelies and retain |
| | control when jumping. Increase this Skill by driving |
| | around, popping wheelies, and successfully completing |
| | Stunt Jumps. |
|---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Lung Capacity | This determines how long you can stay underwater. |
| | Increase this Skill by diving underwater and staying down |
| | as long as possible. However, because the black Dinghy |
| | (with scuba gear) is available from the beginning of the |
| | game, this Skill is nearly useless. |
| | |
| | But, if you still want to upgrade it, here is a way you |
| | can do it and make some money at the same time. |
| | |
| | Go to Banning and find the Hidden Package there. Grab it |
| | then start swimming underwater west. There is a large |
| | cargo ship west of the Package. Swim out near its |
| | position then turn around and head back to the Package. |
| | |
| | Grab the Package then swim back out towards the ship. |
| | Repeat until you max out your Lung Capacity Skill. |
| | |
| | To make even more money, do this. After acquiring the |
| | Package then go onto the nearby stairs and save your |
| | game. Then reload the save to make the Package instantly |
| | respawn. Grab the Package, swim back out to the ship, |
| | swim back, grab the Package, save your game, and repeat. |

<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
There are also some interesting tricks that can quickly increase certain
Skills:
0==================================0
| Raising Special Abilities Quickly \
0=========================================================>
Each character has a different Special Ability. It was thought that you had
to do certain things while using the Ability in order to increase it. But,
according to GameFAQs user shadowlucas27, he found that what actually
raises the Skill is filling the Special Ability meter - not by using it.
Although both Michael and Trevor have combat based Special Abilities all of
them have one method in common to fill up the Special Bar - driving fast in
vehicles.
So, the safest way to max out your Special is by getting a fast car and
driving down the major highways real fast. In addition to driving fast,
passing cars very closely gives a significant boost to the meter.
Once it is filled up then you need to drain it so you can fill it up again
and raise your Special. Franklin's Ability is vehicle related so he can
drain and refill his meter very quickly which will rapidly raise his
Special.
But both Michael and Trevor can't use their Special while in a car so,
after filling up the meter, pull off to the side of the road, get out, and
activate the Special to drain the meter. Then get back in your car and
quickly drive down the road to refill the meter then pull off again to
drain it. Repeat until your Special is maxed out. This probably takes less
than ten minutes per character.
It is important to note that for Trevor you won't see a gradual increase of
his Special. It will appear to not be advancing even after a couple of
refills. Be assured, though, that you are indeed increasing the Special,
it's just that it advances in jumps. When you get to a certain level then
it will jump to that.
It is also very important to note that for Michael you can't increase his
Special until after the mission "Father/Son".
0=======================0
| The Bus Stomping Trick \
0=========================================================>
One trick that has been floating around various forums is to stomp a bus to
quickly increase your Strength. The transit buses that roam the city have
people inside of them. If you climb the bus to the top and attack you will </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
stomp the bus instead of just swinging into thin air.
The game actually thinks you are attacking the people on the bus but the
roof keeps you from hitting them. But it still counts as a melee attack
thus allowing you to increase your Strength.
However, as you attack, the bus driver will become spooked and drive fast
along his route. In addition, you will risk the Police being called to come
after you as well as falling off the bus.
But you can simply jack the bus, take it to a reasonably secluded area,
park it near something you can climb (so you can get on top of the bus),
then stomp the bus to your heart's content without falling off or
generating Wanted Ratings. The people will stay inside the bus.
It is important to note that not all buses have people in them. Make sure
that there are people inside before jacking the bus. Although you can stomp
an empty bus you will not be able to increase your Strength because there
is nobody inside.
0================================0
| The System Hardware Pause Trick \
0=========================================================>
A GameFAQs user named bookeworm came up with this interesting trick which
involves the use of the System Hardware Pause.
There are two types of pause within a game - the pause menu within the game
and the system hardware pause. The system hardware pause is activated by
either using the Guide Button (Xbox 360) or PS Button (PS3) that can be
found in the center of their respective joypads.
The trick involves using the system hardware pause to pause the game while
doing a specific action related to one of the Skills and let the game
increase it while you do something else.
For example, start running then press the System Hardware Button to pause
the game. For some reason, even though the game is paused this way, the
game thinks you are still running. Thus you can still increase your Stamina
Skill even though the game is paused.
Go do something else for awhile then come back and un-pause the game. You
will see that your Stamina has greatly increased even though your character
hadn't moved an inch. This trick works with Stamina, Stealth, Flying, and
Driving Skills.
For the Driving Skill you need to do a wheelie on a motorcycle as this will
not work when just driving down the street. To easily pop a wheelie, hold
down the Handbrake Button while holding down the Accelerate Button. This
will cause the engine to rev up.
Pull back on the Left Analog Stick then release the Handbrake Button. This
will cause you to wheelie and immediately hit the System Hardware Button
while you are in this position.

| >GEN10. The Map |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Pausing the game will automatically bring up the in-game map of the entire
area. However, unlike the other GTA installments, the map is only partially
exposed. Only the immediate areas surrounding you and the various places of
interest, such as Ammu-Nations and Safehouses, are seen.
To expose the entire map you have to explore the entire area. The fastest way
is by using either a plane or helicopter. There is even an Accomplishment for
exposing the map.
When using the map you can set waypoints for your GPS. Given the size of the
map you will be using this often as you go from area to area. You can even
set points of interest so you can return to a particular spot later.

| >GEN11. Quick Saving |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the handy features of this game is the ability to save anywhere and at
any time. Given that you have one Safehouse to a character this is a
necessity. Bring up your Cell Phone and there will be the cloud icon on the
left side. From here you can save your game in progress.
One neat thing about Quick Save is that it can repair cars. If you save while
in a car that has been seriously damaged then reload that save you will find
that the car has been fully repaired.
But you need to be careful when saving. If you save while you have a Wanted
Rating then you will still have it when you reload the save. The Wanted
Rating does not go away in the same manner that it does when you save at a
Safehouse.

| >GEN12. Animals |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the new features in GTA V is animals. Well, to be technical there have
been animals in the GTA games before but they were mainly birds (and the
human kind). But now there are several more types of animals including deer,
coyotes, cows, and fish in addition to birds. These animals are harmless and
will either fly, run, or swim away when you get close.
But not all animals are passive. There are some that will attack you if they
appear near you. You can tell that one is near when you see a red dot on your
radar. And these animals are:
0===========================================================================0
| Dogs | For the most part the dogs in this game are passive and will do |
| | no harm. But if you attack someone near a dog then that animal |
| | will most likely attack you. |
|---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Cougars | These animals can be found in the mountain areas and were a |
| | pain in the ass in "Red Dead Redemption". |
| | |
| | However, in GTA V, you have automobiles that you can use to run |
| | these furry little shits down when you see them on the side of |
| | the road. On foot they can very quickly kill you if they manage |
| | to get the jump on you but superior firepower will put these |
| | bad little kitties in a bad little place with little effort. |
|---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Sharks | You can find these guys way out into the ocean. As long as you |
| | keep your distance and don't do anything stupid they might not |
| | do anything. When they attack though, one bite is fatal. There |
| | is even an Accomplishment for getting attacked by a Shark. |
0===========================================================================0
At some point early in the game you will even be given a pet dog named Chop
that you can use for various activities or to play with to pass the time.

| Clothing | You have a limited amount of clothes to change into, using |
| | your Closet at your Safehouses, but you can greatly increase |
| | what you can wear by visiting the various Clothes Stores that |
| | open up after the mission "Friend Request". |
| | |
| | They range from cheap (Discount Store / Binco) to trendy |
| | (SubUrban) and expensive (Ponsenbys). The clothes you can buy |

| >GEN14. Melee Fighting and Hostiles |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In past installments melee fighting with peds was almost considered an
afterthought. There was a slight improvement in GTA IV but has been greatly
improved in GTA V and made more fun. Although you only use one button for
throwing punches and kicks your character seems to throw the right punch at
the right moment even if a ped is coming from behind. The way peds react when
you hit them makes this a lot of fun.
And it is even more fun when you use Baseball Bats, Crowbars, and even
pistolwhipping people in the face.
But melee fighting people, or even just knocking them down when simply
running past them, may make other peds nearby hostile showing up on the radar
as red dots. More often than not they will fight you with their fists.
However, if you are in the wrong part of town, such as Grove St., then you
will find yourself in a very nasty firefight with pretty much the entire
neighborhood.
If you are trespassing in certain areas after dark, such as construction
sites, then you may end up facing the patrolling security guards who will
more often or not shoot at you.
And while we're on the subject of firefights.....

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN15. Firearm and Weapon Usage |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Firearm usage is not much different from GTA IV's. When you are on foot and
hold down the Target Button then you will go into an over-the-shoulder view.
The aiming reticle will be a simple white dot but you can change its size
from Simple to Complex in the Settings tab at the Pause Screen.
Press the Right Analog Stick Button to activate the weapon's zoom feature.
When you move the reticle over a person then you can intimidate or frighten
that person. You can also aim at specific parts of a person. You can shoot a
person in the arm, shoulder, leg, midsection, and head.
You can score a one-hit kill with a headshot. You can also shoot a person in
any other part and they will run away when they get up. Whenever a person
dies, regardless of how you kill them, the screen will briefly flash white to
let you know.
There are three aiming styles that can help you get the most out of combat
situations:
0===========================================================================0
| GTA Traditional | This will allow you to quickly lock onto the nearest |
| | target regardless of where he is, even if he is behind |
| | you. It will also "hard lock" onto the chest. |
| | |
| | What this means is that if you try to move the reticle |
| | away from the chest it will try to stay there meaning |
| | that it will be difficult to hit other body parts like |
| | the leg or head. |
|-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
| Assisted Aiming | This will allow you to quickly lock onto the nearest |
| | target within a certain radius in front of you even if |
| | the closest target is actually behind you. |
| | |
| | This mode also has a "soft lock". It will aim at the |
| | chest but you can move the reticle to any part of the |
| | target's body without resistance. |
| | |
| | This is the aiming style that you should use throughout |
| | the game as it will make combat, in and out of |
| | missions, easier. |
|-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
| Free Aim | There is no lock whatsoever. You can only aim in front |
| | of you. This is recommended for experts or those |
| | looking for a challenge. |
0===========================================================================0
When you are in a car and press the Left Bumper (Xbox 360) or L1 Button (PS3)
then you will break out the window of your car and the reticle will appear as
you start firing. Use the Right Analog Stick to aim the reticle.
You can use your Pistols, the Micro SMG, and the majority of your thrown
explosive weapons. When on a motorcycle you can also use the Sawed-Off
Shotgun. When unarmed you can give passers-by the finger and make rude
remarks. In addition, your weapon choices may be limited depending on what
vehicle you use.
Of course, when you start attacking the innocent and not-so-innocent
population of Blaine County and Los Santos, then you will attract the
attention of.....

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN16. Law Enforcement |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Every metropolis has a Police force and Los Santos is no different. When you
do something bad near a Cop, or someone calls 911 on you (yes, pedestrians
will do that sometimes - even if you're just standing in front of them), then
you will attract Police attention and they will try to bust you.
One of the biggest criticisms, if not the biggest, of GTA V is the Police. In
this installment they are much more aggressive, more accurate with their
firearms, and much tougher to kill. The main focus in dealing with them is to
avoid confrontations by giving you better means of getting away from them.
However, they are also known for magically appearing all around you, even on
mountain tops, and finding you regardless of where you may happen to be
hiding and this has furthered this particular criticism.
Another interesting difference from previous installments - there is no
6-Star Wanted Rating. The maximum for this game is five. I don't quite
understand the change as 6-Stars was the traditional Wanted Rating maximum
from the beginning of the entire series.

| A. When You Are Wanted |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
When you get a Wanted Rating you will see the Radar flash red. However, you
won't see any Police on there. You are given some time to leave the area
before the Cops show up. When they do show up they will go to where the crime
was committed. You will also see a cone on each Police dot. This is their
line of sight. Your goal is to avoid their lines of sight as you flee the
scene.
While you are out of sight then you will see your Wanted Rating flash in the
upper right corner. You are in what is called the cooldown period. Over time
the Wanted Rating will flash slower and slower until it stops. When it stops
then the Wanted Rating disappears and the Police will stop pursuit.
If the Police spot you or you commit another crime during the cooldown period
then you will be re-acquired and you must lose the Police all over again.
To get away from them you should go through narrow hidden alleys and tunnels.
As noted, this is not always a guarantee of losing them as they seem to know
where you are hiding so keep moving when they start to creep on you.
If you get a Rating on foot and either break into a nearby car or go into a
large bush then you may see your marker go dark on the radar. This indicates
that you are hidden from the Police. This will make it harder for them to
find you. But, if they get too close to you, then they will see you and you
will be re-acquired.
As noted, the Police also have a habit of magically appearing in front of you
while you are trying to flee from them. Usually when this happens they will
have their back to you. In this instance you don't want to go too fast as
this will give you time to alter your course before he turns around and finds
you.
It should be pointed out that Cops can and will take civilian vehicles to
pursue you.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
In addition of escaping from them, using a Los Santos Customs or getting
Busted, other methods of getting rid of a Wanted Rating include getting
Wasted and saving your game at your Safehouse.
What's interesting is that you don't even have to save the game in a save
slot. Just get to the save screen and then back out. Your Wanted Ratings, no
matter how high, are gone (plus you advance time about six to twelve hours
depending on your character).

| C. The Wanted Ratings |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are five Wanted Rating levels. The higher you go, the more aggressive
the pursuit. Below are the Wanted Ratings and what you can expect:
0=======0
| 1-Star \
0=====================================>
The Cops will draw their weapons and come up to you in an attempt to arrest
you. If they get close enough then you will be arrested.
0=======0
| 2-Star \
0=====================================>
If you run away from a Cop when he is close enough to arrest you or shoot
near a Cop without hitting him then your Wanted Rating will go up to
2-Star. At this point more Cops will join in the chase and they will start
shooting at you.
When in vehicles they will start ramming into the rear of your car in an
attempt to veer you off the road. They will also try to get in front of you
to block your way and trap you between Police cars in an attempt to stop
you.
0=======0
| 3-Star \
0=====================================>
If you shoot at and hit a Cop or physically assault (either melee or
vehicle) one then your Wanted Rating automatically goes up to 3-Star. At
this point more Police vehicles will get involved. When you wound a Cop he
may try to shoot you from the ground.
The Police will also send out a Police Maverick. The Police Maverick has
two heavily armored SWAT wielding Carbine Rifles and will shoot down at you
(and quite accurately I might add). You can chase the Police Maverick away
by killing the gunmen on the chopper. A well placed shot to the head of the
pilot will bring down the chopper. Also shooting up the tail rotor a few
times will destroy it and crash the helicopter.
The helicopter also has a wide and large angle of view which will make it
much harder to get rid of Wanted Ratings. The best way generally to get out
of their sight is to go into tunnels. But the chopper may fly away during
pursuit for refueling which will make it easier to evade the Police.
If you try to escape by water then you will be chased by Police Predator
boats (which seem to magically appear out of nowhere and close to you).
These boats will carry at least one Cop, wielding a Micro SMG, at the back
of the boat. Considering that you are very vulnerable when swimming, these
Predators will shred you very quickly if you stay in the water for too
long. Although, if you are in the right boat, then you can easily outrun
them.
They will also start to blockade the road in an attempt to stop you. At
this point you may start to see the Police Transporter vehicle. It is
usually manned by one Cop and there will be a tire busting spike strip in
front of it.
You will also note that if you aren't playing music from the radio then you
will start to hear music that plays when you are being chased by the
Police. This music will end when the chase ends either by successfully
evading them, getting Busted, or getting Wasted.
0=======0
| 4-Star \
0=====================================>
More vehicles will get involved in the pursuit and the roadblocks get
tougher to breach. The Cops will start wearing bulletproof vests which will
make them harder to kill. You may also start to see the Police Riot vehicle
in the blockades.
A second Police Maverick will now be added to the pursuit. In addition, the
choppers will also start to rappel SWAT down towards your position (though
they can be easily shot down as they drop).
In addition, the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) gets involved. They
drive up in the FIB sport utility vehicle which will also have two SWAT
gunmen hanging off the sides. Although vulnerable they are also very
accurate with their Pistols and will kill you quickly if you hang around
them too long. The driver will also shoot at you - something the other Cops
don't do.
If you enter Fort Zancudo you will get an automatic 4-Star Wanted Rating
and you will have to deal with the Army which don't take kindly to
trespassers. They tend to drive around in jeeps and tanks. The tanks,
covered in a little bit, will kill you with one shot of their powerful
cannons.
0=======0
| 5-Star \
0=====================================>
There will be no new vehicle types added to the pursuit but there will be
more Police chasing you in the last valiant attempt to take you down.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| D. Restricted Areas |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are multiple areas where you will get a Wanted Rating by trespassing:
0===========================================================================0
| Los Santos Golf Club (2-Stars). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Backlot City, Richards Majestic (2-Stars). |
| **NOTE: When you open up the mission "Mr. Richards" then you will no |
| longer get Wanted Ratings for entering the Film Studio |
| off-mission. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The back area inside the Mission Row Police Station (3-Stars). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Los Santos International Airport tarmac (3-Stars). |
| **NOTE: When you purchase the hangar there then you will no longer get |
| a Wanted Rating for being on the tarmac but only for the owner, |
| not the other characters. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Fort Zancudo (4-Stars). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Bolingbroke Penitentiary (2 to 4-Stars). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Humane Labs and Research (4-Stars). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The end of a long pier in the south central section of Elysian Island |
| (owned by Merriweather) (4-Stars). |
0===========================================================================0
You can fly high over these areas without generating Wanted Ratings. But you
will get either a Rating or shot down if you fly too low over these places.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| E. Wanted Rating Exploits |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are some missions in which the Wanted Ratings are frozen or the Police
become less sensitive so you can go exploring certain areas or to do general
mischief. Currently there is only one mission with a confirmed Wanted Rating
Exploit:
>>Fair Game (Cletus)
0+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| F. Busted |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
If the Cops end up catching you, be it on foot or in a vehicle, then you are
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.
In previous installments you would lose all of your weapons when Busted. In
GTA V you get to keep your weapons but the Cops will take your ammo instead.
It will also cost you $300 in bail money upon release.
There are nine Police Stations in Blaine County and Los Santos where you may
find yourself if you are Busted by the Cops:
>>Paleto Bay Police Station
*************************
Region: Blaine County.
Location: At the intersection of the west end of Paleto Blvd. and Great
Ocean Highway.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
In addition to all of the other cars you can drive in GTA V you can also use
Police Vehicles. Some Police Vehicles have additional features and bonuses
that can help you:
>>Police Cruiser
**************
Found: On the street and at most Police Stations in Los Santos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You get ten Shotgun shells when entering a Police car. If you
don't already have a Pump Shotgun then you can get one with
eighteen shells.
>>Sheriff Cruiser
***************
Found: On the street and at some Police Stations in Blaine County.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the same as the Police Cruiser but with a different
paint job.
>>Buzzard
*******
Found: Can sometimes be found on top of the Davis Police Station.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is just a plain black version of the attack helicopter.
>>Police Maverick
***************
Found: Can sometimes be found on top of the Davis Police Station and
appears during a 3-Star Wanted Rating.
>>Police Bike
***********
Found: Usually on the side of the freeways.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You can get a Pistol with twelve rounds when you take one.
>>Police Transporter
******************
This starts appearing at a Wanted Rating of 3-Stars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: They will usually be stationed in the middle of the road and has
tire busting spike strips near it. The windows are bulletproof
even though the rest of the vehicle isn't. This offers excellent
protection when driving around. However, because of how the side
windows are designed, you can only use firearms when attacking -
you can't use thrown weapons.
>>Police Predator
***************
This starts appearing at a Wanted Rating of 3-Stars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You can get a Micro SMG with sixteen rounds when acquiring this
boat.
>>Police Riot
***********
This starts appearing at a Wanted Rating of 4-Stars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You can get some Body Armor when entering this vehicle. With the
exception of the tires this vehicle is completely bulletproof.
Unfortunately, you can still be shot and killed through the open
drivers side window. The bright side to this is that you can use
all of your weapons - something you can't do with the Police
Transporter.
>>FIB
***
This starts appearing at a Wanted Rating of 4-Stars.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| H. Special Vehicles |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are three special Police and Army vehicles of note:
>>Buzzard Attack Chopper
**********************
This helicopter can sometimes be found on top of the N.O.O.S.E.
building and at Fort Zancudo. This aircraft carries both Rockets and
Machine Guns and can be switched with the Switch Weapons Button.
Although this sounds like a cool chopper to use for general chaos it is
hard to aim at anything on the ground because of the constant swaying
of the chopper regardless of your Flying Skill. Even more interesting
is the fact that the Rockets won't lock onto anything other than Police
vehicles.
>>Rhino Tank
**********
This vehicle can only be found at Fort Zancudo and is one of the
tougher vehicles of the game. The Tank Cannon is controlled by the
Right Analog Stick and the lower body is controlled by the Left Analog
Stick. The cannon itself is very powerful and can easily blow up
multiple vehicles at once. The cannon can angle high enough to shoot
down low flying helicopters.
Even though the tank looks tough it can still be destroyed. Gunfire
will gradually, but slowly, damage the vehicle. Vehicle collisions,
especially if the cars you're running over explode, can seriously and
quickly damage the tank. A handful of explosive collisions will be
enough to destroy the tank.
Acquiring a tank from the base can be a chore because of the 4-Star
Wanted Rating which can often result in getting killed before you can
drive away with your prize. But a GameFAQs user, Korben_Dallas_5, came
up with this easy way to acquire the Rhino with minimum fuss.
Go into the hills just north of the base and overlooking the sewage
treatment plant. Use a Sniper Rifle and aim at one of the patrolling
tanks inside the base. Fire one shot at it and you will get a 2-Star
Wanted Rating. At this point the tanks will leave the base and head to
your position.
Stay high up and out of their view or they will start shooting their
cannons at you. At least one of them will enter the plant and roam
below you. When the Rating is gone then quickly climb down and jack the
tank before it can leave the area. This will result in another 2-Star
Wanted Rating but it will be easier to lose this as opposed to a
4-Star.
Try to head to the beach to the west without running over any vehicles
as this is the best bet to lose the Rating. After you lose it then take
your new toy to anyplace that will store it.
>>P-996 Lazer
***********
This plane can only be found at Fort Zancudo. This is a fighter jet
that has both Cannons and Missiles. However, you are moving too fast
for this to be of much use. Most people tend to use this plane for the
Knife Flights or to challenge themselves to see if they can get the
plane out of the base without being shot down by the hostile Army.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| I. Impound Lot |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
If you're driving a car that is not your personal vehicle then you run the
risk of it being impounded by the Cops. The vehicle will be kept at the
Impound Lot at the Mission Row Police Station. It will cost $200 to get the
vehicle out. The Cops can only impound one car at a time so once they take a
car then you don't have to worry about them taking another one unless you get
the first one out.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN17. Vehicle and Aircraft Damage |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The cars in GTA V are much tougher than those in GTA IV. They have to be
really because of the Police. If the damage parameters were the same as GTA
IV then the Police will be able to easily destroy your car before you got
more than a few feet. So the cars are made to be more like tanks in regards
to firearm damage.
The weakest point of a car is the engine. But it will still take considerable
damage to get it to flame. You can slow down the car by blowing out the tires
and/or ruining the alignment which will cause one of the front wheels to lock
up. Alignment damage can vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Sometimes, if you shoot or wreck the car from underneath, you may see liquid
pour out from the car. In this case you have punctured the gas tank and the
fuel is spilling out onto the road. You can easily blow up the car if you
fire into the trail which will light up the gas tank. Of course, if you're
driving said car, you will be Wasted. But, even if the gas isn't lit up, the
car will eventually stop as the fuel runs out.
Aircraft are even more fragile. Even taking a few minor rounds or simply
scraping on a building anywhere on the craft will eventually lead to it
stalling out in midair as it "bleeds out". This can be frustrating if you are
just trying to get the hang of flying around in a stolen plane or chopper.

| >GEN18. Using a Los Santos Customs |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
As noted earlier, you can drive a car, excluding Police and rescue vehicles,
into a Los Santos Customs to get rid of Wanted Ratings. In order to get rid
of Wanted Ratings you *MUST* be out of sight of the Cops otherwise you can't
use this service. When they finish up the vehicle then the Wanted Ratings
will be gone.
However, in this GTA installment, they can do a lot more than get rid of
Wanted Ratings and repair your vehicle. You can use them to modify your
vehicle in a large variety of ways including adding armor and changing things
from color all the way to transmissions.
Each listing of modification has several levels with each one being more
extensive and expensive. But not all levels are available at the start and
will unlock progressively during the course of the game. With these services
you can really trick out your car into something that will make the people
you pass by very jealous.
There are five Los Santos Customs and other garages in Blaine County and Los
Santos where you can use these services:

If you do something to reduce your Health to zero, like being too close to an
explosion, getting shot up a lot, wiping out big time on a motorcycle, or
getting eaten by a Shark then you will be Wasted. Any mission you were doing
at the time will be Failed.
When you are Wasted then you are sent to the nearest Hospital where you will
be treated (which takes six game hours), billed percentage of whatever amount
of money you have (up to $5,000), and released. You also lose your Body Armor
but you will *NOT* lose your weapons or ammo.
There are five Hospitals in Blaine County and Los Santos where you may find
yourself if you are Wasted for any reason:

| >GEN20. 100% Score |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
A feature that was introduced in "The Ballad of Gay Tony" was the 100% Score,
one that returns with this installment. Usually the main goal is to get
through the mission without failing. But there are other goals, such as
mission time, player and car damage, to keep track of as well.
It is important to note that getting 100% Score in each mission is *NOT*
required for 100% Completion. You can play through the game just like all of
the other installments and completely ignore this if you like. One change
from TBoGT is that you will get a Medal for the mission and what type of
Medal you get is determined by your score.
If you finish a mission without completing any of the optional Requirements
you will get a Bronze Medal. If you complete the mission with some or most of
the Requirements you will get a Silver Medal. If you complete the mission
with all of the Requirements completed then you will get a Gold Medal. There
is an Accomplishment for acquiring Gold Medals for most of the missions and
encounters.
Another important thing to note about the 100% Score is that you do *NOT*
have to do all of the Requirements at one time. You can do most of them
during your initial play-through of a mission then redo it later, through the
Replay Mission or Replay Strangers and Freaks in the Game tab, to get what
you missed. Unlike with TBoGT you do not have to wait until the end of the
game before doing Mission Replays - you can do them at any time.
What this means is that you can play the same mission over but focus on a
particular Requirement, such as Time, for example. Once you get that
Requirement then you don't have to worry about that again. Then you can play
the mission again and focus on another Requirement.
Continue going after each Requirement in successive play-throughs until you
have 100% Score in that mission. This accumulative approach makes things
easier and also makes you play through these missions in different ways.
It is important to note, though, that when you replay a mission you will only
have a very small amount of money to use and that whatever health, armor, and
ammo you have before starting the replay will carry over. If you don't have
full health and armor then you may want to fix that before replaying.
Another thing to note is that on some missions you will be placed in another
position different than the one you started on in the initial play-through.
Certain vehicles and items may also be changed in a replay.
You can also use powerful weapons, and their various modifications, that you
will acquire during the course of the game in replays of missions that occur
early in the game. One option to consider is to play all the way through to
the end of the Main Story without replaying any of the missions then use your
new weaponry on the missions you wish to replay. This may make getting some
of the Requirements much easier.
If you fail a mission then certain Requirements will be nullified if you want
to replay from the point of failure. If you have trouble with part of a
mission then you can skip it to move it forward so you can complete it.
However, if you do that, then *ALL* Requirements for that mission will be
nullified.
There are some Requirements that are common to many missions:
0===========================================================================0
| Time | For this you need to complete the mission within a time |
| | limit. It goes without saying that you need to get to your |
| | destinations, kill everyone in your way, and complete all |
| | objectives as quickly as possible. However, whenever needed, |
| | I will go over shortcuts that can be very useful. |
| | |
| | If you fail the mission then this will be nullified. If you |
| | want the Requirement then you will have to back out of the |
| | Replay and completely redo it from scratch. |
|-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Accuracy | For this you need to complete the mission above a certain |
| | amount of shots hit. Going for body shots will increase the |
| | number of shots hit which will help your percentage. Like |
| | with the Time Requirement, if you fail the mission then it |
| | will be nullified. |
|-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Headshots | For this you need to complete the mission with a certain |
| | number of headshots. Pretty straightforward and can be made |
| | easier by using certain weapons which I will go over in just |
| | a bit. |
|-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unmarked | For this you need to complete the mission with minimal damage |
| | to health and armor. Take your time and use your cover |
| | wisely. However, even if you lose health you can still get |
| | this by refilling it before the mission ends. |
| | |
| | But I believe you can only refill it once - if you refill a |
| | second time then you may not get the Requirement. Failing the |
| | mission will also nullify it. |
0===========================================================================0
There are couple of things that can make a big difference in some of the
above Requirements:
0===========================================================================0
| Aiming Style | Using Assisted Aiming will be a very big help as it will |
| | allow you to very quickly target and kill enemies with a |
| | high degree of accuracy. I don't recommend using GTA |
| | Traditional as it is too much of a hard lock and will make |
| | it harder to aim at certain body parts like the head. |
|--------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| Weapons | Certain weapons can also make a big difference. Perhaps |
| | one of the best weapons I found for the Time, Accuracy, |
| | and Headshot Requirements is the use of the Assault |
| | Shotgun. It has a wide spread which lessens the need for |
| | accurate aiming and kills quickly resulting in fewer shots |
| | fired. |
| | |
| | For targets farther away I recommend the use of either the |
| | Carbine Rifle, Advanced Rifle, or the Combat MG. |

| >GEN21. The Stock Market |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the interesting features of this game is the stock markets where you
can make lots of money. To find it you bring up your phone and go into the
Internet. Go into Money and Services and you should find the two exchanges -
LCN Exchange and BAWSAQ. LCN Exchange has about half of the companies found
in the game while BAWSAQ has the other half.
One important thing to note is that BAWSAQ can only used online - you need to
be connected to the real internet in order to use it. LCN Exchange is the
offline market.
There are plenty of companies to choose from. Each company has basic
information on it and a general idea of how it is currently trending.
However, the graphs used for each company is useless and should not be used
to make a decision on investment.
Just like with the real stock market the prices of all stock seem to move up
and down randomly. But certain missions can help boost or drop certain stock
which you can take advantage of to make lots of money. There are only a
handful of missions, most notably the Lester Assassination missions, that
will manipulate certain stocks to your advantage.
When using these missions you should get all three characters to invest all
of their money in certain stocks before the mission or after the mission is</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
completed. You may also have to wait several game days for these stocks to
either drop or max out. For this you should sleep at your Safehouse until the
stocks are right where you want them.
It is very important to note that doing things off-mission cannot make the
market change. Attacking one business to make its stock drop will not work.
If it did then it would be way too easy to make money and make the Heists
irrelevant.
Speaking of making money, by doing things in a certain order when using the
stock market you can make billions of dollars. But you don't want to make too
much money.
There is what is called an integer limit in regards to how your money is
counted. That limit is around $2.1 billion. If you try to go over it will
either freeze on that amount or even turn it into *NEGATIVE* $2.1 billion,
something you obviously don't want. So, if you want to be a billionaire, aim
for the range of $1.5 to $1.8 billion which is way more than you will ever
need.
One other thing about negative numbers. If you are in negative territory and
you sell stock it will not change the amount and the money will disappear.
For example, if you are -$10 and you sell $500,000 in stock you will still
have -$10 and the $500,000 will vanish essentially screwing you out of big
money. So it is important you never get into negative money territory
(although it may be fixed with one of the recent patches).

As you explore the city of Los Santos you may encounter a random white dot
on your radar. These white dots are random people that you can talk to for
some interesting conversation. They do not provide any money, weapons, or
missions. They are just there to make the city more interesting, nothing
more.

All around the map you may find small and large propane tanks. The small
ones are usually red and the larger ones can be either dark red or white.
Shooting or even kicking the small ones will cause it to explode. If you
shoot a larger one it will shoot out a jet of flame. Shooting it multiple
times will cause a large explosion which will definitely bring the Cops.
You may find large gasoline tanks at gas stations or even being towed on
the freeway. You can cause a lot of chaos on the roadway if you blow up one
when you pass it by.
0===========0
| Securicars \
0=========================================================>
These security vans, called the Brute Stockade in this installment can be
jacked and blown up to get a few bucks. However, there is a different type
of Stockade and that is only available during the Random Events opened
later in the game.

| >GEN24. Accomplishments List |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed in this chapter are all of the Accomplishments that can be acquired
in GTA V.
Now, for the sake of terminology and to lessen confusion within this guide,
Accomplishments are what are known as Achievements on the Xbox 360 and PC
versions and Trophies on the PS3 version. To those who do not know,
Achievements and Trophies can be considered a different kind of scoring
system. Each Xbox 360 game has 1000 Achievement Points that can be obtained.
However, the PS3 Trophies do not have a point system attached to them
although the numbers of Trophies attained can be considered a way of keeping
score (as well as add some kind of experience points in the PlayStation
Network system). In addition, the Trophies are split into Bronze, Silver,
Gold and Platinum classes.
Some Accomplishments can be acquired by simply playing through the game.
Others can be obtained by doing certain objectives outside of normal
gameplay. To many gamers this adds to the replay value of each game and gives
them bragging rights on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network where these scores
are posted.
One annoyance to Accomplishments is that, depending on the game, they are
split between Single Player and Multiplayer modes. So, if you do not have the
necessary connections to get on-line, then you most likely cannot get into
multiplayer matches to obtain them.
Unfortunately, GTA V is one of these split Accomplishment games. Even more
annoying is the fact that the Online portion of the game was separate from
the main game and activated two weeks after release.
Many of the Accomplishments within the game are easy to obtain. Some require
more work. They are broken down into Visible Single Player, Secret Single
Player, Multiplayer, and PS3 Specific sections:

\==++====++==/ \==++====++==/
The north half of the state is dominated by Blaine County. This area is
sparsely populated and very rugged. There are several major mountains in this
county including Mount Josiah, Mount Gordo, and Mount Chiliad. In the center
of the county is a huge freshwater lake called the Alamo Sea. There are
several small towns in the county including Paleto Bay, Grapeseed, and Sandy
Shores. To the west is a major military base, Fort Zancudo.
Between Blaine County and Los Santos itself is Los Santos County. Most of
this area is very hilly and sparsely populated.
Los Santos itself is a major metropolis with many neighborhoods. The very
rich live in the Rockford Hills and Vinewood areas to the north. The world
famous beaches are located at the west side of the city. The downtown area
contains some of the tallest buildings in the state of San Andreas. The south
central region of the city contains lower class neighborhoods fraught with
gang activity.
To the southwest is the world famous Los Santos International Airport. The
south and east regions of the city are mainly industrial complexes with some
lower end neighborhoods mixed in.
But the story starts elsewhere.....

| >GHF1. Prologue |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Ludendorff, North Yankton, nine years ago.....
Unlike the previous GTA installments you get started right away instead of
just watching a cutscene. You are inside a depository and in the process of
robbing it. This mission is intended not only to set up things story wise but
also to show you the basics. This is also a good time to adjust certain
settings like target reticle and other visual attributes.
As you leave the depository you are confronted by multiple Police. These guys
are pretty easy to deal with as they are not very accurate. Go for headshots
to quickly dispatch them. After the sniper ambush you will confront a lot of
Cops but it is best to run away. After running away you will start some
cutscenes that bring you to the present day.
As Michael sits on a park bench near the beach he is asked by someone where a
certain house is. After Michael tells him where to go then you start the next
mission.....

0=========0
| Overview \
0=======================>
In your first mission as Franklin you and your friend Lamar need to repo
some sports cars.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
After taking the vehicles you need to race Lamar back to the Simeon's
Dealership. As you race along you will be given instructions on your
Special Ability and controlling vehicles in the air. Try not to beat Lamar
as he is a good driver. The reason for this is so you don't wreck your car.
Just stay reasonably close and you should be fine.
After the race then Lamar will drive off but the Police will come after you
with a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Lose them then duck into an alley until the
Rating disappears. After that then drive to the Dealership to and start a
cutscene. When this is completed then get into your vehicle, the White
Buffalo, and drive you and Lamar back to your home. When you arrive home
then the mission is successfully completed.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Not a Scratch
*************
You need to deliver the car with minimal damage. Not hard to do with
decent driving. Don't compete with Lamar so you can navigate the course
without crashing.
>>Focused Driver
**************
You need to use Franklin's Special Ability for seven seconds. You need
to use it more than once during the race. Use it the moment you are
allowed to, let the gauge empty, then get enough Ability, maybe about a
third full, and use it again. This should be enough.
>>Winner
******
You need to win the race against Lamar. Since he is a good driver
you'll need to go through the race a few times to learn the course. In
addition, use your Special near the tail end as you go through the
garages - this is probably the best place to pass him up.
>>We Come in Peace
****************
You need to avoid hitting any aliens in the movie studio. Slow down a
little as you go through Backlot City so you can avoid the actors.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$250 plus the $78 you started the mission with. You will also earn the
{Welcome to Los Santos} Accomplishment. Parking your car by your house will
allow you to keep it there without having to put it in the garage.
In addition, you are told about your Safehouse and the items within. After
leaving your home you will get a phone call from Simeon which sets up the
next mission but I will leave him be for now. Now that you're finally free
to do whatever you want it is time to go over things starting with.....

/ The Main Story \+++++++++++++++++++\
0==========================================================================\
| >MSY1. Franklin Clinton +
0==========================================================================/
Although you got to play with Michael and Trevor earlier, Franklin is the
first major character you will spend a lot of time with. He works as a repo
man for a dealership owned by Simeon Yetarian and is trying to make ends
meet. He also lives with his Aunt Denise and that is also your Safehouse. He
is also friends with a guy named Lamar Davis but he ends up causing problems
for Franklin due to his general lack of intelligence.
As was pointed out during the mission Franklin's Special is to slow time down
while driving. But you will also make the vehicle go faster while in this
mode. This can be very useful in races and chases. Out of the three
characters his is the quickest and easiest to max out.

Your Safehouse, in Strawberry, is a small but nice home that you share with
your Aunt Denise. Inside your Safehouse you have a bed (to save your game), a
closet (for your wardrobe), and a TV (to watch shows). There are also a
couple of Health kits inside.
Your personal vehicle, the Buffalo, will be parked outside near the garage.
The garage can be used to store additional cars and motorcycles. Like in the
previous installments you can fix vehicles with the garage but you will have
to get some distance away before it will work.

In this chapter I go over information on the Weapons, Body Armor, Health,
Stores, and Soda Machines that can be found in the Blaine County and Los
Santos areas:
0+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| A. Weapons |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional criminal. There are
thirty different weapons, in eight different categories, that can be found
and used to create mayhem and abuse. In previous GTA installments whenever
you found a weapon in a given class you replaced the weapon in that class if
what you found is different than what you currently have.
In GTA V you can collect and keep every weapon you find. Of course, you can
only use one weapon of a given class at one time. You can select what weapons
you would like to use by bringing up the Weapon Wheel, another new feature
presented in this game.
Hold down the Left Bumper (Xbox 360) or L1 Button (PS3) to bring it up. Use
the Right Analog Stick to move between the classes and the D-Pad Left/Right
to choose a weapon. Tap the Weapon Wheel button to holster or un-holster
whatever weapon you are currently carrying.
In previous installments whenever you picked up a weapon or item in the wild
it would take quite awhile for it to re-spawn again. In GTA V the re-spawn
time is much shorter. If you want you can stand in one place for awhile and
get a healthy amount of ammo for a given weapon without spending too much
time.
Like in GTA IV you can only carry a limited amount of ammo for your weapons
but you can drastically increase the maximum (up to 9,999 rounds for most
firearms) by maxing out your Shooting Skill. Maxing your Shooting Skill will
also make your weapons more accurate and, by extension, more powerful.
Unlike the illegal Gun Stores found in GTA IV you now have use of the ever
popular Ammu-Nation chain. There are a total of eleven Ammu-Nation stores
throughout the state including two with Shooting Ranges (which I will get to
later in the guide). They are all well marked on your in-game map. You cannot
use an Ammu-Nation when you have a Wanted Rating nor can you draw a weapon
while inside.
These stores carry pretty much every weapon in the game. However, only a
small number are available at the beginning - the others will unlock during
the course of the Main Story. There is even a wall for special weapons
available through downloads. Ammu-Nations even carry various clothing and
multiple types of Body Armor (more on that later).
You can even buy Parachutes but you won't be able to that until after the
mission "Minor Turbulence".
Another feature in this game is the ability to upgrade your weapons with new
items. You can un-equip an item if you feel it is not useful to you. In
addition, you can't add new items to a weapon until it becomes available at
Ammu-Nation. Listed below are the features available to most weapons:
0===========================================================================0
| Extended Clip | Available on most firearms this will increase the amount |
| | of ammo in your clip and will reduce the times you need |
| | to reload. Useful in a firefight, especially against the |
| | Cops. Once bought you cannot un-equip it. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Grip | Available on some rifles this will give some stability |
| | while in use. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Flashlight | Available on most firearms this will allow you to |
| | illuminate dark areas. However, I prefer not to use it |
| | as this tends to spook potential targets. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Scope | Available on most firearms this will give you some |
| | degree of zoom and improve accuracy. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advanced Scope | Available only on Sniper Rifles and will give excellent |
| | zooming ability for increased accuracy. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Suppressor | Available on most firearms this will add a silencer |
| | which makes the weapon pretty quiet and makes it easier |
| | to take down targets without being spotted. |
|----------------+----------------------------------------------------------|
| Black Tint | These options will only give the weapon a different look |
| Army Tint | without making any improvements on performance. |
| LSPD Tint | |
0===========================================================================0
Of course, you can buy ammo for all your weapons at Ammu-Nation. One new
thing to note however. You can toggle between buying a single clip at a time
or purchasing the amount needed to max out your ammo in one purchase. Very
handy and saves time.
In addition, maxing out the ammo for a given weapon will also max out the
ammo for all the other weapons in that class. For example, if you max out the
ammo for your Pistol it will also max out the ammo for all the other Pistols.
The exception to this rule is the MG guns in the Machine Gun class.
In the following weapons list, below the weapon name, there is the following
information (if applicable):
++Appears after: This tells you what mission you have to complete before
this weapon can be bought from Ammu-Nation.
++Cost: How much the weapon costs at Ammu-Nation (prior to discounts).
++Clip: How many rounds the weapon's clip holds (prior to purchasing an
Extended Clip) and how many it will hold after acquiring an
Extended Clip (if applicable).

This list starts at the top of the Weapon Wheel and goes clockwise:
0==================0
| Slot 1 - Handguns \
0===============================================>
These weapons can be used as a drive-by weapon (with the exception of the
Stun Gun).
>>Pistol
******
Cost: $350.
Clip: 12 rounds / 16 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is just a standard handgun that most gangbangers and
Police carry.
>>Combat Pistol
*************
Appears after: Dead Man Walking.
Cost: $600.
Clip: 12 rounds / 16 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This handgun fires slower and has a smaller clip but packs
more punch making it easier to take down enemies.
>>AP Pistol
*********
Appears after: Three's Company.
Cost: $1,000.
Clip: 18 rounds / 36 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is basically a rapid fire machine gun pistol. It has the
same power as a regular Pistol but is more powerful because of
its rapid fire capability. This also holds more rounds but
goes through them far more quickly.
>>Stun Gun
********
Appears after: The Civil Border Patrol.
Cost: $100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a very short range weapon that stuns your victim for a
short time. It takes a long time to recharge so this isn't
really a good weapon to use in most situations. But it can
make for a few laughs.
0======================0
| Slot 2 - Machine Guns \
0===============================================>
>>Micro SMG
*********
Cost: $850.
Clip: 16 rounds / 30 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a small handheld machine gun that fires very rapidly.
Its rapid speed and small caliber creates a wide spread that
degrades its accuracy. Because of its small size this is the
only machine gun that can be used as a drive-by weapon.
>>SMG
***
Cost: $1,300.
Clip: 16 rounds / 30 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon is larger than the Micro SMG and fires a bit
slower. However, it is more accurate and powerful, due to its
narrower spread, thus making it more preferable than the Micro
SMG.
>>MG
**
Appears after: The Paleto Score.
Cost: $3,000.
Clip: 54 rounds / 100 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a large belt fed weapon that has a large clip and has
a larger caliber than either the Micro SMG and SMG. It doesn't
fire as fast as the Micro SMG but fires faster than the SMG.
It also has a wide spread that makes it inaccurate at medium
distances and beyond.
Because of its larger caliber rounds you cannot buy ammo for
this weapon by buying ammo for the Micro SMG or SMG.
>>Combat MG
*********
Appears after: Blitz Play.
Cost: $3,700.
Clip: 100 rounds / 200 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is similar in power to the MG but carries more rounds and
is more accurate because it has a narrower spread.
0========================0
| Slot 3 - Assault Rifles \
0===============================================>
>>Assault Rifle
*************
Cost: $1,400.
Clip: 30 rounds / 60 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon is modeled after the popular AK-47 assault rifle.
It has a pretty good rate of fire but is less accurate at
medium distances.
>>Carbine Rifle
*************
Appears after: The Jewel Store Job.
Cost: $2,100.
Clip: 30 rounds / 60 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon has about the same caliber as the AK-47 and fires
slower but is more powerful because it is more accurate.
>>Advanced Rifle
**************
Appears after: The Big Score.
Cost: $3,500.
Clip: 30 rounds / 60 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This interesting looking weapon has about the same power and
accuracy as the Carbine Rifle but fires faster.
0=======================0
| Slot 4 - Sniper Rifles \
0===============================================>
>>Sniper Rifle
************
Appears after: Nervous Ron.
Cost: $5,000.
Clip: 20 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a standard sniper rifle that has to be reloaded with
each shot. To properly use this weapon, hold down the target
button to bring up the sniper scope. Then use the Left Analog
Stick to zoom in and out. When you have the victim properly
targeted then press the Fire Button to shoot. In addition,
this weapon can shoot through more than one target.
>>Heavy Sniper
************
Appears after: Three's Company.
Cost: $9,500.
Clip: 12 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is similar to the standard Sniper Rifle but has longer
range and is more powerful. In addition, you can't use a
Suppressor on it.
0=======================0
| Slot 5 - Melee Weapons \
0===============================================>
>>Fist
****
Your standard bare fist that can be made more powerful by increasing
your Strength Skill.
>>Baseball Bat
************
A standard bat that can be used as a powerful blunt force weapon.
>>Crowbar
*******
A standard construction tool that can also be used as a weapon but
does not have as much range as the Bat.
>>Golf Club
*********
This weapon can only be acquired after playing Golf and has the same
range and effectiveness as the Bat.
>>Knife
*****
Cost: $100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon can only be purchased from Ammu-Nation and can be
used to quickly and quietly kill someone.
>>Nightstick
**********
Appears after: I Fought the Law...
Cost: $100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a blunt force weapon similar to the Bat that the Cops
usually carry. However, the Police would rather shoot you down
than arrest you so going through Ammu-Nation may be the only
way to acquire this weapon.
0==================0
| Slot 6 - Shotguns \
0===============================================>
>>Pump Shotgun
************
Appears after: Repossession.
Cost: $550.
Clip: 16 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a standard shotgun that is carried by the Police. Has
good range and power but fires slow because you have to pump a
new round into the chamber after each shot.
>>Sawed-Off Shotgun
*****************
Appears after: The Long Stretch.
Cost: $300.
Clip: 16 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a pump style shotgun that has had the barrels sawn
down for easier concealment. This creates a wide spread when
firing but greatly reduces its range. But, because of its
smaller size, this shotgun can be used for drive-bying (only
on motorcycles though).
>>Assault Shotgun
***************
Appears after: Blitz Play.
Cost: $1,500.
Clip: 8 rounds / 32 rounds.</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This shotgun is more deadly than the Pump Shotgun because you
can hold down the Fire Button to rapid fire your entire clip
before reloading. This weapon has a much smaller clip than the
others but can be greatly increased with the Extended Clip,
something the other shotguns can't use.
0=======================0
| Slot 7 - Heavy Weapons \
0===============================================>
>>Grenade Launcher
****************
Appears after: Trevor Philips Industries.
Cost: $8,100.
Clip: 10 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon fires special grenade rounds that will allow you
to land them with more accuracy than with the regular hand
thrown variety.
>>RPG
***
Appears after: Three's Company.
Cost: $6,500.
Clip: 20 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This very powerful rocket propelled grenade is best used to
destroy hard to reach targets, helicopters, and large groups
of vehicles. It should be noted that you can skip the grenade
along the ground and other objects so it is best to aim at
your target straight on to prevent this.
>>Minigun
*******
Appears after: The Paleto Score.
Cost: $15,000.
Clip: 9,999 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon may very well be the most powerful one in the
game. This powerful rapid fire weapon will destroy pretty much
anything in less than two seconds. Not much can stand up to
it.
The only downsides is that it takes a couple of seconds to
start firing because it has to spin up first and that you move
slowly while using it thus making you vulnerable to the Cops.
0===========================0
| Slot 8 - Explosive Weapons \
0===============================================>
The majority of these weapons can be used as a drive-by weapon.
>>Molotov
*******
This standard flame based explosive weapon can only be found in the
wild. As usual, you need to be careful when using it or you may
accidentally set yourself aflame. You can only carry a maximum of 25
bottles.
>>Grenades
********
Cost: $150.
Max Units: 25.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon causes a nice sized explosion which is great for
clearing out a large group of people and cars. This weapon has
a four second delay when used. However, when you hold down the
fire button, then you can do what is known in combat lingo as
"cooking" the Grenade.
The longer you hold the weapon, the less reaction time you
give to your intended victim when thrown. But, if you cook it
too long, then the Grenade will explode in your hand killing
you instantly. This, of course, makes for some interesting and
funny suicide situations. Release the Fire Button to throw the
weapon.
>>Sticky Bomb
***********
Appears after: Friends Reunited.
Cost: $400.
Max Units: 25.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is an explosive weapon that you can attach to objects and
detonate remotely by pressing D-Pad Left. You can also
detonate it by shooting at it from a distance. You can also
create a larger explosion by placing several of them in one
place. You can also use it as a drive-by weapon and create
massive car explosions in traffic.
Unfortunately, unlike the Sticky Bomb in TBoGT, you cannot use
it as a time bomb - it will not explode on its own, you must
detonate it manually.
>>Tear Gas
********
Appears after: The Jewel Store Job.
Cost: $150.
Max Units: 25.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This weapon creates a cloud of noxious gas that can
temporarily incapacitate others. However, if you stand too
long in the cloud, then you will die. But so will your
enemies.
>>Jerry Can
*********
Appears after: Crystal Maze.
Cost: $25.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a large gasoline can that has a hundred units of gas
inside. This is used for setting fires. What you do is pour
the gas on the ground and make a trail to something you want
to set aflame. Use either a firearm or the backfire of a
vehicle to set the gas on fire.

Since the release of the game there have been multiple updates to both the
single player and online portions. These updates often contain new cars,
homes, clothing, and weapons.
The new weapons are available when downloaded - even at the beginning of the
game. They can also be upgraded with expanded clips, suppressors, and grips.
Some of these weapons are useful and others can be considered nothing more
than novelties.
In this sub-section I go over the weapons currently available for download:
0==================0
| Slot 1 - Handguns \
0===============================================>
>>Vintage Pistol
**************
DLC: The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update.
Clip: 7 rounds / 14 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Has the same power and fire rate as the standard Pistol but
holds fewer rounds.
>>SNS Pistol
**********
DLC: Beach Bum Update.
Clip: 6 rounds / 12 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a very small pistol that doesn't do a lot of damage.
>>Heavy Pistol
************
DLC: The Business Update.
Clip: 14 rounds / 36 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Has roughly the same power as the Combat Pistol but fires
slower. But it also holds more rounds.
0======================0
| Slot 2 - Machine Guns \
0===============================================>
>>Gusenberg Sweeper
*****************
DLC: Valentine's Day Massacre Special Update.
Clip: 30 rounds / 50 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is an old-style Tommy Gun from the 1930's. Has decent
power but can't be upgraded further than adding an expanded
clip.
0========================0
| Slot 3 - Assault Rifles \
0===============================================>
>>Special Carbine
***************
DLC: The Business Update.
Clip: 30 rounds / 60 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The only difference I can see between this and the regular
Carbine Rifle is the look.
>>Bullpup Rifle
*************
DLC: The High Life Update.
Clip: 30 rounds / 60 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Certainly a different looking weapon and has a slightly faster
fire rate than the Carbines. Probably has the same power too.
0=======================0
| Slot 4 - Sniper Rifles \
0===============================================>
>>Marksman Rifle
**************
DLC: The Last Team Standing Update.
Clip: 8 rounds / 16 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Although you can outfit this more than the other two Rifles
this weapon is actually kind of weak. The scope doesn't allow
you to zoom in and it usually takes more than one hit to kill
someone.
0=======================0
| Slot 5 - Melee Weapons \
0===============================================>
>>Bottle
******
DLC: Beach Bum Update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is just a broken bottle that can be used to stab someone.
>>Antique Calvary Dagger
**********************
DLC: The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is really just a fancy looking knife.
0==================0
| Slot 6 - Shotguns \
0===============================================>
>>Musket
******
DLC: Independence Day Update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is an old-school musket used during the 1700's. Has some
decent power but takes a long time to load between shots.
>>Heavy Shotgun
*************
DLC: The Last Team Standing Update.
Clip: 6 rounds / 12 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is really just a different version of the Combat Shotgun
but holds fewer rounds.
0=======================0
| Slot 7 - Heavy Weapons \
0===============================================>
>>Firework Launcher
*****************
DLC: Independence Day Update.
Clip: 20 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: All this really does is launch fireworks into the air. But can
still do some damage if fired at someone.
>>Homing Launcher
***************
DLC: Festive Surprise.
Clip: 10 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is probably one of the more useful DLC weapons. Aim at a
vehicle, wait for the reticle to turn red, then launch. The
missile should follow the vehicle until it reaches and
destroys it.
0===========================0
| Slot 8 - Explosive Weapons \
0===============================================>
>>Proximity Mines
***************
DLC: Festive Surprise.
Max Units: 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Another useful weapon. Simply plant this on something and it
will destroy anyone or anything that gets close to it. It will
also blow you up too if you stand next to it for too long
after you arm it.

0===========================================================================0
| Health | This item comes in the form of a green First Aid Kit. It can |

| Body Armor | This item comes in the form of a armored vest can usually be |
| | found laying on the ground. Using one will bring your armor |
| | back up to its maximum. |
| | |
| | It is important to note that you can also buy Armor from |
| | Ammu-Nations. There are several types with varying degrees |
| | of protection and cost. |
| | |
| | However, the Body Armor you find in the wild is the same as |
| | the best and most expensive Armor type, the Super Heavy |
| | Armor. So it makes the others kind of useless, at least in |
| | single player anyway. |

When your Health is low and there's no Health laying around and you don't
feel like paying for an Ambulance then you can regain your Health by finding
Stores and Soda Machines.
The Stores carry various candy which will replenish your Health a certain
amount depending on what brand you buy. Most Stores may also have Soda
Machines either inside or outside. It costs a dollar to buy a can and it will
completely refill your Health.
Soda Machines can also be found in the open. However, not all of them work. I
estimate that 97% of all of the Soda Machines I found work. Only the ones
that work are listed in the guide.

*******
Location: Behind a tractor parts building.
Map: (D-4).
Directions: Go to the intersection of Calafia and Joshua Rd. From here,
head northeast on Joshua Rd. After some distance you should
come up to a three-way intersection with a short un-named
road. Turn north onto this road and stop at the next
three-way intersection. You should see on your radar a
small road loop which should be to your left.
At the southwest corner of this intersection is a large
junky building which should have a sign for Tractor Parts
on its north side. The weapon can be found on the ground at
the northwest corner of this building.

Treatment Works area without incurring a Wanted Rating. The
Treatment Works is located just outside the northwest
entrance of the main base.
After going through the entrance then turn left at the
first intersection. After you turn right you should come to
a white and green building. The weapon can be found on the
ground in front of a garage door.

>>Assault Rifle
*************
Location: On the ground some distance from a dirt road.
Map: (C-3).
Directions: On the Great Ocean Highway, at the west side of the map,
there is a bridge that goes over Cassidy Creek. Starting
from the north end of this bridge, head north on the
highway. After some distance you should see several
vehicles parked on the right side of the road.
This is also the beginning of a dirt road that proceeds
into the hills. Go along this road and, when you get to the
intersection of two major roads, continue straight. When
you get to the next intersection just ahead, continue
straight. Continue along this path and you should find a

*********************
Location: Inside the sheltered porch in front of the Church inside the
Altruist Cult Compound at the northwest corner of the
facility.
Map: (C-3).
Directions: On the Great Ocean Highway, at the west side of the map,
there is a bridge that goes over Cassidy Creek. Starting
from the north end of this bridge, head north on the
highway. After some distance you should see several
vehicles parked on the right side of the road.
This is also the beginning of a dirt road that proceeds
into the hills. Go along this road and, when you get to the
intersection of two major roads, turn left. At this point
you will head upwards. As you near the next intersection
you should see a water tank to your left.
When you get to the intersection then angle right. As you
proceed along this path you should see the south wall of
the Compound to your left. Continue until you reach a
wooden bridge then stop. Proceed up towards the antenna
mast and you should find a dirt path that leads down into
the Compound.
It is important to note that if you have a firearm out or
completely unarmed then they will shoot at you with
Pistols. However, if you have a Knife out then they will
attack you un-armed. This will make it easier to go after
the weapons on the Compound as long as you don't stab them
otherwise they will start to shoot you.
Later in the game you can bring certain people up to the
Cultists when you are playing as Trevor. After dropping off
enough people then they turn on him and this results in a
shootout. After the shootout, which results in the deaths
of the Cultists, then the Camp will be abandoned and you
can freely go in and out.

At this point in the game I am going to focus on maxing out most of
Franklin's Skills and Special Ability using the various tricks I listed
earlier. This will be very helpful in the early part of the Main Story. When
I do get to the story I will do any Stranger encounters as soon as they pop
up so they are out of the way quickly. I will do the same with the other two
characters when I unlock them.
Before getting to the Main Story I will do as much as possible for 100%
Completion as well as other tasks such as the following.....

| >GHF7. Hidden Packages |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The Hidden Packages are money filled briefcases, with different amounts, that
can be found inside wreckages on the ocean floor. Acquiring them does *NOT*
count for 100% Completion and neither is there an Accomplishment for finding
them. However, going after them can help you get a pretty good amount of
money at this early stage of the game which can be very helpful for weapons
and car repair.
Most of the wreckages are in very deep water and you will not be able to swim
down there without some kind of equipment. At some point within the game you
can buy some property that has scuba gear you can use. But IGN posted a video
where you can get some free scuba gear right from the start of the game.
Go to Elysian Island and to the west end. Here you should find a long
rectangular building for the Post Op Depository. Just west of the west corner
of this building should be a barge. Just north of this barge is a black
Dinghy (which usually appears during the daytime). Take the Dinghy out into
the water. Get out of the boat and you will fall into the water with scuba
gear on.
In addition to the Packages most of the wreckages will also have weapons and
other items scattered nearby. One good thing about this is that their glowing
will serve as a beacon to let you know that you are near a wreck location.
This is especially useful at night or in murky waters.
Some of the wreckages are in waters where Sharks are known to spawn. As long
as you swim away from them they will usually not attack. If one happens to
spawn while you are still in the Dinghy then wait for it to surface and kill
it with a drive-by weapon before diving.
When you arrive at a Package location you may notice that it will magically
appear in front of you as you get closer to it. The spawn delay is longer
with the PS3 version. So, when you arrive at where the Package is, give the
game a few seconds to make it appear. There are instances where the Package
may not appear at all and you will have to leave and come back later. I have
noted these instance with certain Packages.
Visiting all of these wrecks can net you $143,000. I recommend going twice
around the state to get about $286,000 which will make a very nice amount of
early spending money. Of course, once you get the hang of finding the wrecks
quickly, you can do as many "laps" around the state as you want. The more
money you have now, the more you can invest in the stock markets later in the
game.
If you plan to do laps around the state to collect Hidden Packages you may
want to do the following. When you dive down and reach a wreck then pause
your game and mark the location with a Point of Interest marker. This will
make the wreck easier to find when you come back that way again later.
There is also a well known exploit about the Packages that utilizes two
characters. Send one character out to get a Package and pick it up then
switch to another character then switch back. The Package will immediately
re-spawn. Continue switching back and forth this way to get lots of quick
money for one character. Unfortunately, this exploit was removed in the first
patch that was released for the game.
In addition, the patches that have come out since the game's release have
been known to affect the availability and re-spawning of the Packages. For
best results you should go after the Packages on an un-patched system
(removing whatever patches you have if necessary).
However, according to Sterling P. de Mille, you can pick up a Package, do a
Quick Save, then reload to make it respawn instantly (regardless of patches -
works with weapons too). This is not a bad idea if you don't mind the slow
reload times (especially with the PS3 version).
Listed below are the eleven Packages, their amounts, and their locations. The
Map co-ordinates refer to the main map that comes with the game. The
locations are based on the nearest land region and start at the northeast
side of the map going clockwise. I also note if the area tends to spawn
Sharks.

>>Mount Gordo
***********
Amount: $8,000.
Map: (B-6).
Sharks: Yes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Look on your in-game map to find the dirt road that runs along
the north side of the mountain. Find the bend at the northeast
end of the road. Directly northeast of that is a small cove.
Park there and dive northeast.
As you dive you'll notice that the depth colors indicate a steep
dive and that the darkest part is V-shaped. Go northeast right
at the point of this V and stay close to the floor.
You should start seeing the weapon pickups through the murk. You
will also find large amounts of seaweed. But keep in this
direction and you should run into a crashed Duster. You can find
the Package on the floor under the wreck.
>>Humane Labs and Research
************************
Amount: $10,000.
Map: (D-7).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: East of the area is a peninsula. From the tip of this peninsula,
head south along the shoreline. On your radar you should see a
small indentation on the shore just before it curves west.
From this indentation, head east about five hundred feet then
dive. You should see some ruins on the ocean floor. Amongst them
is a large metal crate attached to a large ruined truck near the
edge of a drop-off. Inside the crate is the Package.
>>N.O.O.S.E.
**********
Amount: $20,000.
Map: (G-6).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Just northeast of the area is a small group of islands. Go to
the south tip of the largest island and dive. Almost immediately
south of this point is a large cargo ship that broke apart. Find
the stern section.
The top part of this section has been ripped open. If you look
down into this area you should see the Package amongst some red
railings near the top of the opening.
>>Palomino Highlands (1)
**********************
Amount: $12,000.
Map: (H-6).
Sharks: Yes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: East of the shore is a large island. Go between the island and
the shore and dive. Here you will find a large paddle boat. The
Package can be found on the ocean floor inside the east paddle
wheel.
----------------------------------------------------------------
**NOTE: The Package might not spawn upon arrival due to the
vegetation and coral near its location. Leave the area
and return a little later and it should spawn.
>>Palomino Highlands (2)
**********************
Amount: $16,500.
Map: (I-5).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: At the south side of the area, and east of Terminal, are three
small islands. Go to the east-most of these islands. From the
south tip, dive into the water. Here you should encounter a
large crashed cargo plane. Find the tail end. Go to the south
side of this piece of wreckage. Then go under the tail wing to
find the Package.
>>Banning
*******
Amount: $7,500.
Map: (H-4).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Find the railroad bridge that connects Banning to Elysian
Island. From the north end of the bridge, go east until you find
a set of stairs that go into the water. Swim and dive directly
south of here to find a sunken barge. The Package can be found
on top of it. Since this is very shallow you can easily acquire
it without the need for scuba gear.
>>Elysian Island
**************
Amount: $11,000.
Map: (I-4).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Look on your in-game map and zoom in on the central part of the
island complex. West of the south peninsula are a bunch of piers
going south into the water. Head to the area just west of this
group. When you get there then look for two small red bouys.
When you find them then go to the south-most one.
Just to the southwest of this buoy is a large broken up tanker.
You need to find the stern section which is the part closest to
the buoy. The Package can be found on the floor inside this
section on the south side.
----------------------------------------------------------------
**NOTE: The Package might not spawn upon arrival due to the
vegetation and coral near its location. Leave the area
and return a little later and it should spawn.
>>Pacific Bluffs
**************
Amount: $25,000.
Map: (G-2).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go along the shoreline and find the east end of the Pacific
Bluffs Country Club. From this point, head directly south about
a thousand feet. When you dive you should find a large sub-like
object on supports near the edge of a drop-off. On one end is a
large hatch. The Package can be found near the hatch.
----------------------------------------------------------------
**NOTE: On rare occasions the game may spawn a large piece of
rock-like coral where the Package is supposed to be.
This will keep it from spawning. Leave the area and come
back a little later. Hopefully the game will remove the
coral and allow the Package to spawn.
>>Fort Zancudo (1)
****************
Amount: $9,000.
Map: (D-2).
Sharks: Yes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Look on your in-game map and find the beach at the west edge of
the base. Find the westernmost point and go there. To the east
of this point is a very small inlet. Go to a point between the
west point and this inlet.
Swim and dive directly south of this point. Dive into the deeper
water and you should find a sunken tugboat. You can find the
Package on the rear deck near the bridge housing.
>>Fort Zancudo (2)
****************
Amount: $12,500.
Map: (D-2).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Look on your in-game map and find the four-way intersection on
the Great Ocean Highway just north of Fort Zancudo. This wreck,
a crashed cargo plane, is 2,500 feet directly west of this
point and on the edge of a drop-off. Go to the rear of the
fuselage where it has been ripped open. The Package can be found
just inside.
>>Paleto Bay
**********
Amount: $12,000.
Map: (B-3).
Sharks: No.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: At the south end of the town is a long thin peninsula. Go to the
tip of this peninsula and head directly north about five hundred
feet then dive. Here you should find a large crashed cargo
plane. Find the tail end. The Package can be found on the floor
just in front of the front end of the tail section.

In addition to acquiring Hidden Packages you can also go after two
Accomplishments:
>>San Andreas Sightseer
*********************
Going from wreck to wreck will allow you to expose the outer edges of
the map. On your first "lap" you should expose the outer edge of the
ocean. On your second lap you should go long the land edges and expose
the waters there. If you do any more laps then you should expose the
remaining ocean waters.
After exposing the ocean and getting back onto dry land then go to the
N.O.O.S.E. Headquarters to get a Buzzard and start flying over the
remaining areas to expose the rest of the map and get the
Accomplishment.
>>Out of Your Depth
*****************
For this you need to get killed by a Shark. As you go collecting Hidden
Packages then keep an eye open for a Shark. When one appears then do a
Quick Save and dive.
Just sit there and it will swim around you for awhile before attacking.
As you float and die then you should get the Accomplishment. After you
appear at the nearest Hospital then reload your save and continue on
your way.

| >GHF9. Stunt Jumps |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed in this chapter, by area and neighborhood, are the Stunt Jumps for GTA
V. There are a total of fifty Stunt Jumps in the game but you only have to do
twenty five of them for 100% Completion. Doing all fifty will earn you the
{Show Off} Accomplishment.
If you do a Jump and then do the same Jump again the game will tell you if
you already did it. This makes it easier to track down Jumps you may have
missed. In addition, completing a Jump the first time, regardless of
character, will add to your Driving Skill for that person. Making the same
Jump multiple times will not add Driving Skill.
Although you can do these Jumps with a car some of them are best done with a
motorcycle. However, you are more vulnerable on a motorcycle because a good
wipeout can do some serious damage to you (or even kill you). If you plan to
use a bike the best ones to use are the Bati 800 and Dinka Double-T. At this
time there doesn't seem to be a place where any of them are spawned so you
will have to drive around until you find one being ridden and take it.
Your standard vehicle, the Buffalo, is a good choice but you can easily mess
up the front alignment which will make the car useless. It is recommended to
mod the vehicle with the most current engine, brake, and suspension upgrades
if you went and did Hidden Package collecting earlier. If you wish to use a
bike then I also recommend modding it before doing any Jumps.
Modding the vehicles beforehand will make them faster, allow you to stop
sooner, and give them better durability even at this early stage of the game.
The information under the type of ramp is broken down as follows:

[BLC-J1] - A rock ramp near Raton Pass
***************************
Neighborhood: Raton Canyon.
Map: (C-3).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the Califia Bridge in Alamo Sea. From here,
head south on Califia Road. After some distance you
will come to a Y-shaped intersection with Raton
Pass. Go onto Raton Pass and up the mountain side.
Eventually you'll stop climbing and level out. The
moment you start going down, stop. Ahead of you,
past the next curve, you should see a a solid rock
ramp which is the Jump.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go back near the top of the road to start your run. You
need to jump the gap to be successful. You don't actually
have to land on the road - you can land before it.
[BLC-J2] - A broken bridge
***************
Neighborhood: Paleto Bay.
Map: (B-4).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: The Jump is the broken bridge in the middle of
Procopio Promenade.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T, or Buffalo.
Heading: Southwest to Northeast.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This can pretty much be done with any vehicle but a
motorcycle is recommended. Go at a moderate speed and you
can make this easy.
[BLC-J3] - A dirt ramp within a construction site
**************************************
Neighborhood: Paleto Bay.
Map: (B-4).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Procopio Drive and Great
Ocean Highway. At the west corner of this
intersection is a construction site. The entrance
can be found about sixty feet fron the intersection.
Next to the entrance is a bunch of pipes. The dirt
ramp for the Jump is across the site southwest of
them.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Northeast to Southwest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start from the pipes and make the jump into the alley
outside of the site. You don't need to go real fast and
the short distance from the ramp to the pipes keeps you
from going real fast anyway.
There is a short wall within the alley and you may find
yourself landing just before it. Brake as you are in the
air to keep you from hitting it. All in all another easy
Jump.
[BLC-J4] - A rock ramp along North Calafia Way
***********************************
Neighborhood: Alamo Sea.
Map: (C-4).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the Calafia Bridge in northwest Alamo Sea.
From here, head northeast along North Calafia Way.
The ramp is about a half mile from the bridge. You
will get to a curve that has large concrete barriers
on both sides of the road. The ramp for the Jump is
on the east end of the curve.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You have plenty of road to the east to make a good run.
Try to aim between the trees that are at the other side
of the gap you need to jump. You may risk colliding with
one of them if you don't.
[BLC-J5] - A dirt ramp
***********
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert.
Map: (D-5).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Smoke Tree Road and
Panorama Drive. At the west side of this
intersection is an unpaved road that runs parallel
to Sandy Shores Airfield which is northwest of this
intersection.
Head west on this road and you will come to a
three-way intersection with another dirt road. It
should also have a sign that says "Private Road No
Access". The ramp for the Jump is at the north side
of this intersection.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: South to North.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go south up this road to the small building. This is
where you should start your run. The goal is to clear the
group of large white boulders then land on the Airstrip.
A fairly easy Jump.
[BLC-J6] - At the ruined Sandy Shores Motel
********************************
Neighborhood: Sandy Shores.
Map: (D-5).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Zancudo Drive and Panorama
Drive. At the west side of this intersection is the
ruined Motel. Also here at this intersection is the
ramp for the Jump.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to jump over the Motel without touching the roof
and land in or near the empty pool. Go to Sandy Shores
Medical Center to begin your run and push up on the Right
Analog Stick to gain extra speed for the Jump.
[BLC-J7] - At the El Gordo Lighthouse
**************************
Neighborhood: Mount Gordo.
Map: (C-6).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of El Gordo Drive and
Grapeseed Avenue. From here, head north along El
Gordo Drive and follow the road to the Lighthouse.
You should see a carpark at the end of this road
along with some small construction barriers nearby.
Just behind the barriers is the ramp for the Jump.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Mid-range to high end car or Buffalo.
Heading: West to East.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You have to jump to the small island where the Lighthouse
is. This is one of the trickier Jumps. You have to land
to the right of the Lighthouse in order to successfully
complete the Jump.
The small construction barriers is why you have to use a
car. If you use a motorcycle then you will smash into one
of them which will slow you more than enough to keep you
from successfully completing the Jump. You can use the
van to clear them but they will instantly regenerate if
you move back far enough to try the Jump.
Since you will be landing on an island you will
automatically lose any vehicle you use so use a car you
do not wish to keep. You can use your Buffalo if you want
but you will have to go back to your Safehouse to get
another one.
You can still make the Jump even if the car ends up in
the water as long as you hit the landing zone with all
four wheels first.

[LCY-J8] - A dirt ramp along Baytree Canyon Road
*************************************
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert.
Map: (E-4).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Baytree Canyon Road and
Mt. Haan Road. From here, head north on Baytree
Canyon Road. After a short distance you should see a
wooden retaining wall which should be to your left.
The ramp for the Jump is at the top of this wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southwest to Northeast.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go up the hillside to make your run. The goal is to jump
over the wall and land in the ditch on the other side. A
pretty easy Jump.
[LCY-J9] - A rock ramp south of Bolingbroke Penitentiary
*********************************************
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert.
Map: (E-5).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: There is a tall rock embankment that you have to use
to jump into the facility. It can be found between
two guard towers at the south side of the Prison.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: South to North.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You have to clear both fences and land in the area just
before the first cell block. You must land with all four
wheels. If you hit the cell block building before all
four wheels touch the ground then the Jump is failed.
After completing the Jump you will get an automatic
2-Star Wanted Rating for entering the Prison. You have to
go clockwise around the central area to get to the gate
leading out. After leaving the Prison then head southwest
off road to lose the Cops.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
It is *NOT* recommended to use a motorcycle for this
Jump. Even if you successfully make it the cheap ass Cops
will kill you before you can get out of the facility
because you are not protected like you would if you were
in a car.
[LCY-J10] - A rock ramp alongside Senora Freeway
************************************
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert.
Map: (E-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Route 68 and Senora
Freeway. From here, head south on Senora Freeway.
Just after you pass Bolingbroke Penitentiary the
freeway will start to split into two roads.
Keep in the southbound lane and look at the railing
to your left. At some point there will be a gap in
the railing. Just beyond the gap is the ramp for
the Jump.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Northwest to Southeast.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go through this gap and hit the ramp to start the Jump.
You need to land under or just before the underpass ahead
to successfully complete the Jump.
[LCY-J11] - A dirt ramp by a stopped windmill
*********************************
Neighborhood: Ron Alternatives Wind Farm.
Map: (E-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the south entrance of the Wind Farm which is
near the entrance to Palmer-Taylor Power Station.
Go through the nearby facility and onto the road
that goes up into the Farm. After a long drive you
should get to a fork in the road.
Take the left path and, after a short distance, you
should come to a three-way intersection. Turn left
and you should see a substation to your right.
Continue forward through the next three-way
intersection and you should come to another road
fork.
Take the right path and it should lead you to a
stopped windmill. The ramp for the Jump is just to
the west of this windmill.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a good distance for your run and push up on the Left
Analog Stick to get some extra speed. You need to clear
the railroad tracks and land either on or just before
the Freeway to get credit for the Jump.

[LSO-J12] - A stair-like ramp within a parking garage
*****************************************
Neighborhood: Pacific Bluffs.
Map: (A-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Playa Vista and W.
Eclipse Blvd. From here, head north on Playa Vista.
When you get to the road curve you should see a
parking garage for The Jetty apartment complex.
Enter the garage and you will find several small
road barriers. The ramp for the Jump is the
stair-like structure just beyond them.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go back near the intersection with W. Eclipse Blvd. to
start your run. You need to land on the driveway below
to successfully complete the Jump.
[LSO-J13] - A metal ramp at a construction site
***********************************
Neighborhood: Richman.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of North Sheldon Ave. and
Ace Jones Dr. From here, head south on North
Sheldon Ave. When you get to the road curve you
should see some small road barriers on the outside
part.
This starts a small road that leads into a
construction site. The ramp for the Jump is at the
south end of this small road.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a tricky Jump to complete. You need to start
your run near the intersection with Ace Jones Dr. then
maneuver into the site while gaining speed.
You need hit the ramp straight on and land on Picture
Perfect Drive near or on the major intersection to
succeed. Not doing this right may result in hitting
trees or concrete walls on the way down.
[LSO-J14] - A broken pedestrian bridge at a golf course
*******************************************
Neighborhood: GWC and Golfing Society.
Map: (A-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the Los Santos Golf Club and to the lake at
the southeast corner of the course where you can
find a broken pedestrian bridge which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Golf Cart.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Even though you can make a jump going from east to west
the Jump actually goes one way.
Although you can use a motorcycle the best vehicle for
this is a Golf Cart which can be found at the north end
of the Clubhouse. Get a topless one since you can't hit
the archway at the other end of the Jump.
It should be noted that you will get a 2-Star Wanted
Rating for being on the course at this stage of the game
so you may also need to dodge Police. Try to lure them
into the lake if you can so they don't interfere.
If you lose the Wanted Rating while on the course then
they will no longer become a problem and you can do the
Jump as many times as you need to without interference.

After making the road curve and going under the
bridge you should see some orange road markers on
the left side of the road.
Go through the markers and onto the dirt. Keep
going forward and you should reach the edge of the
Del Perro Fwy. tunnel below. The edge of the tunnel
is the ramp for the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Jump onto any of the roads below without hitting any
cars to successfully complete the Jump. A pretty easy
Jump.
[LSO-J16] - A ramp for a parking garage
***************************
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills.
Map: (C-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Hawick Avenue and

of this building is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start your run east of here on Hawick Avenue and
maneuver your way to the Jump. You need to get a high
speed because you need to completely jump over the area
and the signage to successfully complete the Jump.
It should be noted that you run the risk of smacking
into something when you land at the station and
seriously hurt yourself so try to hit the ramp at a
slightly right angle to avoid the subway entrance.
[LSO-J17] - A pagoda
********
Neighborhood: Little Seoul.
Map: (B-4).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Vespucci Blvd. and Decker
St. At the southwest corner of this intersection is
a large pagoda which has the ramp for for the Jump
inside.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go to the intersection with Ginger Street to begin your
run. You don't need to go real fast for this one. Just
land on S. Rockford Drive without hitting any cars to
successfully complete this Jump.
I recommend your Buffalo for this one in case you jump
too far and wreck yourself into the houses in Vespucci
Canals.

metal plates on the ground. These plates is the
ramp for the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go back to Adam's Apple Blvd. to begin your run. You
need to land on Palomino Avenue without hitting any cars
to successfully complete the Jump. I recommend using
your Buffalo instead of a bike to protect yourself in
case of a wreck.
[LSO-J19] - Near a major highway intersection
*********************************
Neighborhood: Little Seoul.
Map: (C-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Calais Ave. and San
Andreas Ave. From here, head east on San Andreas
Ave. Just before you get to the bridge for La
Puerta Freeway turn left onto the un-named road
that runs alongside the bridge.
When the road turns left continue straight and you
should see a ramp right at the edge of Del Perro
Freeway which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: South to North.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start at the building at the south side of San Andreas
Ave. and you need to clear Del Perro Freeway without
hitting any cars to successfully complete the Jump.
This may be a little tricky due the high volume of
vehicles on the road so the faster you can go, the
higher you can get above the traffic and the less likely
you will hit them.

should see a metal ramp at the intersection ahead.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Dodge the traffic a little bit so you can avoid hitting
the barrier just before the ramp otherwise you will be
greatly slowed down (if you're using a car instead then
just plow through it).
Hit the ramp at a slightly right angle and jump over
Innocence Blvd. and onto the next offramp to
successfully complete the Jump.
[LSO-J22] - In the center of a courtyard

Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start your run at the intersection north of this one.
You need to land just before or between the railings. If
you land on the railings then the Jump is failed. You
may also need to dodge traffic on your way to the ramp.
[LSO-J23] - At Rockford Plaza
*****************
Neighborhood: Burton.
Map: (C-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Las Lagunas Blvd. and
Occupation Ave. From here, head west and go under

split. Take the left path and as the road turns
left you should see a large gap in the railing. The
Jump is the right side of this gap.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start back on Occupation Ave. and get a good rate of
speed as you make your way to the gap. You need to land
in the intersection without hitting any cars to
successfully complete the Jump. Angling slightly right
when you hit the gap should allow you to land in the
intersection.
If you don't do this then you run the risk of hitting
cars that are waiting for the light to change.

section of guardrail for the bridge that crosses
over Del Perro Freeway which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start your run on Swiss St. You need to land in the
oncoming lanes without hitting any cars to successfully
complete the Jump. Because of the high volume of
vehicles this becomes a little tricky.
[LSO-J26] - A broken guardrail
******************
Neighborhood: Pillbox Hill.
Map: (D-4).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Power St. and San Andreas
Ave. on the upper part of this double decker

Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start your run on Elgin Ave. and you need to land in the
small plaza below without hitting the tree planter to be
successful.
[LSO-J28] - A metal ramp on a parking garage
********************************
Neighborhood: Pillbox Hill.
Map: (D-4).
---------------------------------------------------------------

northwest corner of the parking area and is near
the top of entrance ramp.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go into the Cesar's Auto Parking area across the street
west to make your run. You need to land on Power St.
without hitting anything to successfully complete the
Jump.
[LSO-J29] - A ramp within a boat shop
*************************
Neighborhood: Mission Row.
Map: (D-4).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Adam's Apple Blvd. and
Sinner St. At the south side of this intersection
is the Get Aweigh Boat Shop. Within the facility is
a large green Sprunk ramp which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Northeast to Southwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start your run back east on Adam's Apple Blvd. and angle
towards the ramp. You need to land on Olympic Freeway
without hitting any cars to successfully complete the
Jump.

*********************************
Neighborhood: La Mesa.
Map: (D-3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Mirror Park Blvd. and Los
Santos Freeway. From here, head south on Los Santos
Freeway. You will then approach the interchange
with Del Perro Freeway.
Take the turnoff to head east on Del Perro Freeway.

metal ramp at a broken guardrail which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Northwest to Southeast.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Use this to jump into the flood control channel below.
Land in the channel without getting into the water to
successfully complete the Jump.
[LSO-J31] - A concrete ramp in a flood control channel
******************************************
Neighborhood: La Puerta.
Map: (C-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Greenwich Parkway and
Dutch London St. At the south side of this
intersection is a bridge that goes over the flood
control channel. At the southeast corner is a
sidewalk that goes along the north side of this
channel.
Go east along this sidewalk and stop when you get
under the subway tracks. Look southeast and you
should see a flat area at the opposite side of the
channel. At the west side of this flat area is a
concrete ramp which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go to the intersection of Dutch London St. and Ray
Lowenstein Blvd. in Rancho. Not far from the northwest
corner of this intersection is road leading down into a
flood control channel. Go down into the channel and
cross the water to the other side.
When you get to the other side then speed northwest
along the flat part of the channel as fast as you can.
Hit the ramp straight on at a very high rate of speed.
You need to clear the train tracks, Dutch London St.,
Greenwich Parkway, and land by the helicopter helipads
without hitting anything to successfully complete the
Jump. This is a long jump which is why a very fast car
is recommended.
[LSO-J32] - By a narrow drainage channel
****************************
Neighborhood: La Puerta.
Map: (C-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Directly across the flood control channel northeast
of [LSO-J27] is a narrow drainage channel. The ramp
for the Jump is on the west side of this channel.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Simply go over this channel to complete the Jump. Very
easy.

****************************************
Neighborhood: La Puerta.
Map: (C-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go north on La Puerta Freeway from the Los Santos
International Airport area. Eventually you'll see
the interchange with Olympic Freeway. Take Exit 2A
- South Los Santos.
When you get down under the upper section of
freeway you should see a small construction area to
your left. Inside this area is a metal ramp which
is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: South to North.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Hit the metal ramp at a decent speed and land in the
oncoming lanes without hitting any cars to successfully
complete the Jump.
[LSO-J34] - A ramp at a parking garage
**************************
Neighborhood: Strawberry.
Map: (D-4).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Capitol Blvd. and Crusade

without hitting any cars to successfully complete the
Jump.
[LSO-J36] - A concrete ramp by a flood control channel
******************************************
Neighborhood: Banning.
Map: (D-5).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Jamestown St. and Dutch
London St. at the south corner of this intersection
is an un-named road that leads to an industrial
complex.
Follow the road inside without turning off at
either of the two intersections you encounter. You
should come up to a giant wall which should be to
your right. As you near the flood control channel
you should see the ramp for the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Jump over the flood control channel to successfully
complete the Jump.
[LSO-J37] - A metal ramp at the top of a hillside
*************************************
Neighborhood: El Burro Heights.
Map: (E-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Elysian Fields Freeway
and El Rancho Blvd. From here, head east on El
Rancho Blvd. After a short distance you should see
the entrance to Murrieta Oil Fields to your right.
Go through the entrance and turn right.
Follow the road and you should pass a couple of oil
pumps which should be to your left. After passing
these pumps then turn left at the next
intersection.
Ahead of you should be a small building with a
large tank beside it. Beyond that is a hillside.
You should see the ramp for the Jump on top of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Climb the hillside to gain access to the ramp. You need
to jump about 200 feet in order to be successful.
[LSO-J38] - An advertising billboard by a parking garage
********************************************
Neighborhood: Los Santos International Airport.
Map: (B-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go onto Davis Ave. and head south towards the
Airport. Take the offramp leading down to the lower
road. As you near the large parking garage you
should see a very large ramp-like car advertisement
on the left side of the road which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T, or Buffalo.
Heading: Northeast to Southwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to use this to jump onto the top of the parking
garage to successfully complete the Jump. Start your run
on the offramp and get a good rate of speed.
Although I recommend a motorcycle it may also be a good
idea to consider a car because of how high up you go and
the steepness of the angle may cause injury if you wreck
while using a bike.
[LSO-J39] - An advertising billboard by a parking lot
*****************************************
Neighborhood: Los Santos International Airport.
Map: (C-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: On the opposite side of the road circle where Jump
[LSO-J37] is located is another of the same
billboard.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southwest to Northeast.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Simply land in the parking lot without wrecking to
successfully complete the Jump.
[LSO-J40] - A dumpster by the tarmac entrance
*********************************
Neighborhood: Los Santos International Airport.
Map: (C-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go directly southwest from Jump [LSO-J38] to find
the tarmac entrance and the Jump which is to the
right of the entrance.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: Southwest to Northeast.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: It should be pointed out that you can't do this on a
bike because of the fence right in front of the dumpster
which you will smack into as you do the Jump.
Start your run near [LSO-J38]. The Jump is easy enough
to complete but, if you stay in the tarmac area for too
long, you will get a 3-Star Wanted Rating.
Use your brake while in the air so you can quickly stop
when you land. After landing then immediately turn
around and head back out through the entrance. If you do
this quickly then you shouldn't get the Wanted Rating.
[LSO-J41] - A dirt pile near the end of a bridge
************************************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of Signal St. and Chum
Street. At the south side of this intersection is a
large parking area. Go into this area and turn
east. As you near the end of this area you should
see a large white gas tank and a dirt plie which is
the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T, or Buffalo.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to land on the bridge for Chum Street without
hitting any vehicles, or the streetlight, to
successfully complete the Jump.
[LSO-J42] - A trailer ramp
**************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the intersection of El Burro Blvd. and
Elysian Fields Fwy. From here, head west on Elysian
Fields Fwy. After about a half mile you should come
to a three-way intersection with an un-named road.
Turn left and go south down the ramp. Stop when you
get to the end of the ramp.
To your right should be a large green and white
building. Near the northwest corner of the
building, and by the water's edge, is a trailer
ramp which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: South to North.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Use this ramp to jump the canal to the other side. Start
your run by the trailer ramp at the south end of this
area. This is a long Jump so you need to push up on the
Left Analog Stick to hunch down and gain extra speed.
[LSO-J43] - A trailer ramp
**************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Directly east of Jump [LSO-J41] is another trailer
ramp.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T, or Buffalo.
Heading: Southwest to Northeast.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to use this ramp to jump onto the offramp. The
problem here is that you can't really hit it straight on
because there is not enough distance.
Start your run like you were going to do [LSO-J40] again
but angle right past the building. As you approach the
ramp slightly angle right as you hit it. If you remain
perfectly straight you will miss the offramp and more
than likely smack into the bridge and injure yourself.
The problem with using cars for this ramp is because it
is kind of narrow so there is little room for error but
it can be done.
[LSO-J44] - A trailer ramp
**************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Directly south of Jump [LSO-J41], at the southwest
corner of the large green and white building, is
another trailer ramp.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to use this to jump onto the top of the large
building to the south to successfully complete the Jump.
I can't seem to get this even with a modded bike so the
Buffalo is recommended even though the ramp is barely
wide enough to accomodate it.
Start your run just next to [LSO-J43] then angle past
the corner of the green and white building to get enough
speed to land on the next building.
[LSO-J45] - A trailer ramp
**************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: At the southeast corner of the green and white
building, opposite of Jump [LSO-J43] is another
trailer ramp.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: Southeast to Northwest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to use this to jump onto the building to
successfully complete the Jump. Start from the south
half of Signal Street to begin your run.
A bike is recommended because of the air conditioning
units on top and you run the increased risk of hitting
them if you use a car. The annoying thing about this
Jump is that you need to jump pretty far to succeed. A
minimum of 200 feet I believe.
[LSO-J46] - A metal ramp
************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Starting from Jump [LSO-J44], go directly east and
you should find yourself between two large tanks.
From here, go southwest and back onto the road.
Just as you get back to the road you should see a
large ramp for the Jump which should be against the
building to your right.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: South to North.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to jump just to the right of the row of large
tanks, and probably to the third tank, to be successful.
[LSO-J47] - A trailer ramp
**************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-7).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Starting from Jump [LSO-J43], go directly south and
you should find another trailer ramp near the
southwest corner of the very long building south of
the green and white building.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to land on the building's rooftop without
hitting any of the air conditioning units to be
successful.
A motorcycle is recommended because you need to angle
towards the ramp at the last second due to the fact that
you are up against the water's edge to your right. Start
by [LSO-J42] to begin your run.
[LSO-J48] - A metal ramp between bridges
****************************
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Starting from Jump [LSO-J46], go directly north and
stop just after you go under Elysian Fields
Freeway. Ahead of you is the railroad bridge. Turn
right and you should see a large tank. Next to this
tank, on the left, is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Bati 800, Dinka Double-T.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to jump over the canal and land on the other
side without hitting anything to be successful. This is
not as easy as it looks because of the large tank under
construction at the landing site. Angle slightly to the
left as you hit the ramp to avoid hitting the tank.
[LSO-J49] - A dirt pile
***********
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-6).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go onto Chum St., take the looping interchange into
the center part of the island complex, and head
south on Abattoir Ave. After some distance you
should go past Bristol's Coke Storage and find a
white and yellow security booth.
Go straight south from here to find a flatbed.
Right next to the flatbed is a large dirt pile
which is the Jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle: Buffalo.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go all the way to the west side of this part of the
island complex to start your run.
As you approach the pile angle slightly left so it looks </pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
like you are aiming at the pole behind the pile. When
you hit the pile then you will be angled away from the
pole and have the right angle to clear Buccaneer Way.
You need to land on the grass on the other side of the
road to be successful. This is an annoying Jump in that
if you are just a little too slow then you smack into
the barrier and if you are just a little too fast then
you will more than likely smack into a truck on the road
beyond.
There always seems to be a truck near the landing zone
so it may take a few tries to find the right speed to
make the Jump and avoid wrecking.
[LSO-J50] - A concrete ramp north of the Jetsam Terminal building
*****************************************************
Neighborhood: Terminal.
Map: (D-6).

When you select a weapon class only the first Challenge is open. Challenge 2
opens up when you get at least a Bronze in the first one and the third will
open up when you get at least a Bronze in the second.
Earning a Bronze Medal in all Challenges will give you a 10% discount at all
Ammu-Nations. All Silver will get you 15% and all Gold will get you 25%.
Acquiring one Gold Medal in any Challenge will add towards the
{Multi-Disciplined} Accomplishment.
When you start the Range you will be given a brief tutorial. Some rounds are
based on a set number of Targets destroyed within a time limit. When the
Targets are destroyed or time runs out then the round will end. If you
destroy the targets before time runs out then whatever time you have left
will be converted into a bonus.
Other rounds are based on destroying as many Targets within a time limit and
scoring as many hits as you can. The Targets are zoned based on color and go
from ten points up to 100.
There is also a combo bar and a multiplier. If you string together
consecutive hits then your combo bar will fill and your multiplier will
increase. The maximum multiplier is 3x. If you miss then the multiplier is
reset. However, automatic weapons give one free miss before resetting.
You can use any weapon in a class even if it is not available in the wild or
at any Ammu-Nation. Any weapon mods you buy can be used at the Range. Having
the Extended Clips for your weapons can be very helpful, as this will reduce
the need for reloading which is time consuming, but it is not absolutely
necessary for the Range.
In most cases you will either need to buy the weapon, find the weapon in the
wild, pass a Challenge, or earn a Gold Medal in one before being allowed to
use some of the more powerful guns. Before doing the Shooting Range you
should go out and find the following weapons in the wild to make things
easier:
--SMG
--Assault Rifle
--Pump Shotgun
--Sawed-Off Shotgun
--Assault Shotgun
--MG
As noted earlier this is the best and safest way to quickly maximize your
Shooting Skill which is the reason why you should do this as soon as a
character becomes available. It is important to note that each character has
his own set of scores and Medals - whatever you do with Franklin doesn't
carry over to Michael or Trevor. Each character must earn their own Medals.

| --Pistol: Open from start. |
| --Combat Pistol: Buy the weapon or pass Hand Gun Challenge 2. |
| --AP Pistol: Buy the weapon or earn a Gold Medal in any Hand Gun |
| Challenge. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hitting Targets without missing increases your score multiplier up to |
| three times. Missing a Target resets this. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | There are multiple static Targets that exit the |
| =========== | range after one hit. There are a total of fifteen |
| --Bronze: 1,400 | Targets that must be destroyed within forty |
| --Silver: 2,000 | seconds. This Challenge is easy to pass and easy |
| --Gold: 2,800 | to Gold in. Take your time, zoom in on the |
| | Target, and aim at the center. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | There are multiple moving Targets that leave the |
| =========== | Range automatically. This is easy to pass with |
| --Bronze: 2,000 | the regular Pistol but you will need the AP |
| --Silver: 10,000 | Pistol to get the Gold. It will take a few tries |
| --Gold: 20,000 | to get Gold as you learn where the Targets appear |
| | and move. |
| | |
| | When you learn where the Targets appear then move |
| | sideways, using the Left Analog Stick, to line |
| | yourself up with it. This will make it easier to |
| | quickly aim at the center and maximize your |
| | score. Move sideways to your next Target while |
| | reloading. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | There is one moving Target that goes one way |
| =========== | (starting on the right side of the Range), turn |
| --Bronze: 650 | around and stop for a few seconds, then turn |
| --Silver: 3,000 | around and proceed to the other side. This |
| --Gold: 15,000 | pattern will continue until time runs out. |
| | |
| | This is easy enough to pass but to get Gold you |
| | need to use the AP Pistol and move sideways along |
| | with the Target. The nice thing is that you will |
| | run out of ammo and automatically reload before |
| | it reaches the end of a run. |
| | |
| | By the time it turns around again then you should |
| | be fully reloaded for another run to the other |
| | side. |

| --Micro SMG: Buy / find either the Micro SMG or SMG or pass Hand Gun |
| Challenge 1. |
| --SMG: Buy / find or pass Micro SMG Challenge 2. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hitting Targets increases your score multipler up to three times. You get |
| one free miss with automatic weapons. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | There will be five static Targets with their |
| =========== | backs to you. One Target at a time will turn |
| --Bronze: 4,000 | around for a short time so you can shoot it then |
| --Silver: 6,000 | it will turn back around. You have thirty seconds |
| --Gold: 12,000 | to score as many points as possible. |
| | |
| | To get Gold you should use the SMG. Learn when |
| | and where the Targets turn around so you know |
| | where to aim to get the most points. You should |
| | also know when to stop shooting so you don't risk |
| | shooting the back of a Target and lose your |
| | multiplier. |
| | |
| | At a couple of points during the Challenge there |
| | will be a long pause. Use this to reload your SMG |
| | so you don't run out of ammo while shooting at a |
| | Target. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | There will be four Targets, one behind the other, |
| =========== | that will move in a staggered pattern and turn |
| --Bronze: 1,250 | around and stop at one side of the Range then, |
| --Silver: 2,500 | after a few seconds, turn around and proceed to |
| --Gold: 7,500 | the other side. |
| | |
| | The Targets will start in the center and you have |
| | twenty six seconds to score as many points as |
| | possible. |
| | |
| | To get Gold you should use the SMG. This |
| | Challenge is similar to Hand Gun Challenge 3. To |
| | get the most points you need to move sideways |
| | with the Targets. But focus only on the closest |
| | one - ignore those behind it. Use the long pauses |
| | to reload your SMG. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | There will be a combination of static and moving |
| =========== | Targets of varying heights that will disappear |
| --Bronze: 3,000 | automatically. You have thirty three seconds to |
| --Silver: 5,000 | score as many points as possible. |
| --Gold: 10,000 | |
| | To get Gold you should use the SMG. It will take |
| | a few tries as you get the hang of where each |
| | Target appears so you can move around to put |
| | yourself in position to score maximum points and |
| | to know when to stop shooting so you don't lose |
| | your multiplier. |
0===========================================================================0
|++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[ Assault Rifles ]+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|
0===========================================================================0
| --Assault Rifle: Buy / find the Assault Rifle or pass Submachine Gun |
| Challenge 1. |
| --Carbine Rifle: Open from start. |
| --Advanced Rifle: Buy the weapon or earn a Gold Medal in any Assault |
| Rifle Challenge. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hitting Targets increases your score multipler up to three times. You get |
| one free miss with automatic weapons. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | You will be presented with static Targets and |
| =========== | they will only disappear after you hit it three |
| --Bronze: 2,500 | times. You have a total of seventeen Targets and |
| --Silver: 3,550 | you need to score as many points as possible in |
| --Gold: 7,550 | thirty six seconds. You should use the Carbine |
| | Rifle for this one. |
| | |
| | The key to this is doing single shots instead of |
| | holding down the trigger. Aim at the center of a |
| | Target, zoom in, fire off three quick single |
| | shots to make it go away, then aim at the next |
| | Target that appears. This is pretty easy to pass |
| | and even get Gold in. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | You have four Targets that are lined up one |
| =========== | behind the other that move and turn around. You |
| --Bronze: 4,750 | have fifty seven seconds to score as many points |
| --Silver: 7,500 | as possible. Any of the Rifles will do for this. |
| --Gold: 17,500 | |
| | The keys for this Challenge is to know when to |
| | stop shooting and to move along with the Targets. |
| | If you're good with moving with your Targets then |
| | this should be easy to both pass and get Gold in. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | There will be moving Targets of varying height |
| =========== | and speed that will only disappear after being |
| --Bronze: 1,000 | hit three times. There are a total of ten Targets |
| --Silver: 3,000 | and you have thirty seconds to shoot them all. |
| --Gold: 5,000 | |
| | The best weapon for this is the Carbine Rifle |
| | because of its slower fire rate that you can more |
| | easily control. Fire three quick shots at a |
| | Target to make it go away so you can bring out |
| | the next one. It will take a few tries to get |
| | Gold as you learn the patterns of the Targets. |
0===========================================================================0
|+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[ Shotguns ]++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|
0===========================================================================0
| --Pump Shotgun: Buy / find the Pump Shotgun or pass Assault Rifle |
| Challenge 1. |
| --Sawed-Off Shotgun: Buy / find the Sawed-Off Shotgun or pass Pump |
| Shotgun Challenge 2. |
| --Assault Shotgun: Buy / find the Assault Shotgun or earn a Gold Medal in |
| any Shotgun Challenge. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The scores are based on hitting as many Targets at one time as possible. |
| The more Targets you hit at one time, the more you score. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | The Targets will present themselves in a static |
| =========== | 4x4 pattern. There will be a total of thirty two |
| --Bronze: 22 | of them and you need to destroy as many of them |
| --Silver: 32 | as you can in thirty seconds. |
| --Gold: 46 | |
| | The absolute best weapon for this is the |
| | Sawed-Off Shotgun as it has the widest spread of |
| | all the Shotguns. Aim at the groups at an angle |
| | so you can get the most Targets in one shot. May |
| | take a few tries to get Gold as you learn how |
| | things work. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | You have twelve moving and static Targets that |
| =========== | must be destroyed in forty five seconds. The best |
| --Bronze: 290 | weapon for this is the Sawed-Off Shotgun as it |
| --Silver: 590 | will allow you to hit multiple Targets. |
| --Gold: 700 | |
| | The key to getting Gold is to wait for the |
| | Targets to get as close as possible before |
| | firing. Some of the Targets do get close together |
| | so take advantage of this if you can. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | You have twenty moving Targets that need to be |
| =========== | destroyed in thirty seconds. This is similar to |
| --Bronze: 14 | Challenge 1 in that you need to hit more than one |
| --Silver: 18 | Target at once to be successful. |
| --Gold: 23 | |
| | Once again the Sawed-Off Shotgun is the weapon |
| | for the job. Wait for the Targets to cluster |
| | together before firing. This is the key for |
| | getting Gold. |

|++++++++++++++++++++++++++[ Light Machine Guns ]+++++++++++++++++++++++++++|
0===========================================================================0
| --MG: Buy / find the MG or pass Pump Shotgun Challenge 1. |
| --Combat MG: Buy the weapon or pass Light Machine Gun Challenge 2. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hitting Targets increases your score multipler up to three times. You get |
| one free miss with automatic weapons. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | You will be presented with multiple static |
| =========== | Targets that will take multiple hits to destroy. |
| --Bronze: 4,500 | In addition, they will also leave after a certain |
| --Silver: 5,500 | amount of time has passed. You have thirty three |
| --Gold: 7,500 | seconds to score as many points as you can. |
| | |
| | This is easy to pass and get Gold in. The key is |
| | to know when to stop shooting so you don't lose |
| | your multiplier. A short controlled burst is best |
| | regardless of which weapon you use. Let go of the |
| | trigger the moment you see the Target move away. |
| | |
| | It may take a couple of tries as you learn where |
| | the Targets appear so you can best know where to |
| | aim. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | You will be presented with a row of static |
| =========== | Targets that will turn around individually and |
| --Bronze: 5,500 | automatically. You need to score as many points |
| --Silver: 12,000 | as you can within sixty four seconds. |
| --Gold: 40,000 | |
| | You'll need to use the MG to pass this Challenge |
| | so you can unlock the Combat MG then go for the |
| | Gold. The Combat MG is more accurate than the MG |
| | thus making it essential for the Medal. |
| | |
| | It may take a few tries as you learn the pattern |
| | of the Targets and to know when to stop shooting |
| | so you don't lose your multiplier. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | You will be presented with multiple static |
| =========== | Targets that will take multiple hits to destroy. |
| --Bronze: 7,500 | More Targets will be spawned as you destroy them. |
| --Silver: 19,000 | You have seventy four seconds to score as many |
| --Gold: 32,000 | points as you can. |
| | |
| | The Combat MG is the best weapon for this because |
| | of its accuracy. The key to passing and acquiring |
| | Gold is to know when to stop shooting so you |
| | don't lose your multiplier. Short controlled |
| | bursts are necessary to maximize your score. |

| --Minigun: Earn a Bronze Medal in all previous Challenges. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hitting Targets increases your score multiplier up to three times. |
| Missing Targets for a period of time resets the multiplier. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 1 | You will be presented with a single row of |
| =========== | Targets that will leave after multiple hits then |
| --Bronze: 10,000 | re-spawn. You have thirty five seconds to score |
| --Silver: 25,000 | as many points as you can. |
| --Gold: 50,000 | |
| | The Minigun fires very rapidly and therefore you |
| | don't need to be accurate. The key to acquiring |
| | Gold is to keep hitting Targets at all times. |
| | This goes for the remaining two Challenges after |
| | this one. May take a few tries to get the Gold |
| | here. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 2 | You will be presented with multiple Targets that |
| =========== | will exit after multiple hits. There are a total |
| --Bronze: 15,000 | of forty seven Targets that must be destroyed in |
| --Silver: 30,000 | thirty three seconds. May take a couple of tries |
| --Gold: 50,000 | to get Gold as you learn the spawning pattern. |
|-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ++Challenge 3 | You will be presented with an infinite number of |
| =========== | re-spawning Targets that will exit after multiple |
| --Bronze: 20,000 | hits. You have thirty nine seconds to score as |
| --Silver: 40,000 | many points as you can. Just keep hitting Targets |
| --Gold: 70,000 | and you should get Gold on your first try. |

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Before going onto the Main Story there are several smaller activities that
are required for 100% Completion:
0===============0
| Robbing Stores \
0=========================================================>
Although there is an Accomplishment for robbing Stores in Online Mode you
do need to rob one Store for 100% Completion. Go into a Store, bring out a
weapon, aim at the guy behind the counter, and wait for him to throw the
money over. Then grab the small amount of cash and get rid of the 2-Star
Wanted Rating you generate.
0============0
| Prostitutes \
0=========================================================>
In previous GTA installments you could use Prostitutes to regain health and
it was optional to do so. However, in GTA V, this becomes a 100% Completion
requirement. They appear at night, stand by certain street corners, and
wear trashy looking clothes.
When you get her into your car then you need to take her someplace secluded
so you can do business. She can be a bit picky on where you can do things
but I found the second or third level of a parking garage to be a good
choice. You have three levels of service to choose from and I recommend
getting the most expensive one just to be safe.
0================================0
| Private Dancing and Booty Calls \
0=========================================================>
Another 100% Completion activity is to get a Private Dance at a strip club.
The only one available at this stage of the game is the Vanilla Unicorn
which is near your Safehouse. Doing a Booty Call is another Completion
percentage activity and you can get one at the Vanilla Unicorn as well.
You can get a Booty Call from some but not all of the strippers there.
According to gta.wikia.com they are:
--Sapphire
--Juliet
--Nikki
--Infernus
There are also a couple of other people you can get Booty Calls from but
they occur later in the game.
The strippers can be found roaming the floor and dancing on the stage.
Unfortunately, they don't give out their names when you walk past one. And
you won't know who they are unless you take one for a Private Dance.
Another way to find out a stripper's name is to get close to the one that
is dancing. Her name is part of her Like Meter.
"Make it rain" to start filling up her meter. It should be noted that how
much she likes you initially will depend on what character you use. For
instance, she will like Franklin more than Trevor which means that Franklin
can spend less money to fill up the Like Meter and Trevor needs to spend
more.
After awhile her set will finish and she will return to the main floor
where you can get her for a Private Dance. You will be given controls to
compliment and to touch her. Before touching her you need to wait for the
guard to leave first or you will be thrown out. Compliment and touch her as
much as you can to fill up her Like Meter.
While doing one dance should be enough for Completion percentage it will
take more than one to completely fill out her meter unless you "made it
rain" a lot while she was dancing on stage. When you fill it up then you
can get the option to do a Booty Call.
Pick her up behind the club and take her home to do the Call and add to
your Completion percentage. You will also get her name added to your
Contact list.
0================0
| Watching Movies \
0=========================================================>
The last 100% Completion activity of this group is watching a movie at any
of the Movie Theaters on the map. At this stage there are only two movies
you can watch, an animated film and a pretentious art film. Any one of them
will work.
With that done, it is time to finally move onto.....

Go to Vespucci Beach. When you get there then follow Lamar. Climb the fence
and head to the end of the street. When you get to the end of the street
then start looking through the three garages. One of them on the left will
have some Body Armor.
Choose the garage on the right and you will find that the bike isn't there.
You will also be ambushed by the Vagos and this starts a fight between you
and them. The game will instruct you on how to use the weapon wheel and
cover. Take your time and go for headshots.
As you near the gate the bike owner will drive off with the vehicle and you
must chase him. Even though the game tells you to shoot him off you can
just knock him off and run him over. When you take the bike then head to
the Car Wash near your home. When you get there then Franklin and Lamar get
into a heated exchange and the mission will end successfully.

At this point in the game you will get a message about the Strangers and
Freaks. They are additional missions involving people not connected to the
Main Story. Some know the character you are currently using, others are
random. Each character has their own set of Strangers. There are twenty of
these Stranger encounters that must be done for 100% Completion.
Only Franklin's encounters count towards completion percentage. The ones for
Michael and Trevor do *NOT* count for 100% Completion. You don't have to do
them but they usually have easy Gold Medal requirements that can be useful
towards the {Solid Gold, Baby!} Accomplishment.
Each Stranger encounter will appear as a "?" and the first one will appear
across the street from your Safehouse. However, there is something else that
has been opened up and I will do that first before proceeding.....

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
If you listen to the radio you may hear a radio report about the unsolved
murder of actress Leonora Johnson and the rumor of a torn up confession
letter. There is also a website dedicated to the murder along with a list of
possible suspects.
The case of Leonora Johnson is the game's version of the infamous Black Dalia
murder that occurred in the forties. It is probably Los Angeles' most famous
unsolved murder and it has been the focus of many books and even a movie or
two.
At this point you can now look for the Letter Scraps that will piece together
who killed Leonora. There are fifty of these Scraps and can be found all over
the state. When you get close to one you can hear paper rustling. The fastest
way to acquire the Scraps is by the use of a helicopter (although there are
some that can't be collected that way).
Collecting all fifty Scraps is required for 100% Completion. This will also
open up a Stranger mission where you can confront her killer and acquire an
Accomplishment.

[BLC-LS1] - Location: In the marshes of Lago Zancudo.
Neighborhood: Lago Zancudo.
Map: (E-2).
Directions: Go into the road tunnel that sits under Fort Zancudo.
From here, head north and out of the tunnel. After
some distance you should get to the intersection for
the road that goes to the north entrance of the Fort.
But it also intersects with a dirt road that goes
around the west end of the military complex.
Go onto this dirt road, go around the end of the
fort, and under the freeway bridge. After going under
the bridge you should see a concrete drainage opening
on the right side of the road after a short distance.
However, continue going forward past this one and
look for a second one. When you find it then go past
it to find a small group of bushes about sixty feet
ahead. Stop at these bushes. Go to the east side of
these bushes and go straight south towards the main
river.
When you get to the clearing just before the water
then stop and look around to find the Scrap nearby.
[BLC-LS2] - Location: Under a bridge.
Neighborhood: Zancudo River.
Map: (D-3).
Directions: Go to the Zancudo River Ammu-Nation along Route 68.
From here, head east. After some distance you should
find a short bridge that goes over a dry creek bed.
The Scrap can be found under this bridge.
[BLC-LS3] - Location: On top of a rocky cliff.
Neighborhood: Raton Canyon.
Map: (C-3).
Directions: Go to the bridge on Great Ocean Highway that crosses
over Cassidy Creek. Under the south end of the bridge
is a dirt road that heads east into Raton Canyon.
Head south from the end of the bridge to get to the

Dreyfuss will drive away in an SUV. You can either let him go or go after
him but it is best to chase him. Use your Pistol or Micro SMG to shoot out
his back tires to get him to stop then shoot him as he tries to run away.
Another option is to get close behind him, throw a Sticky Bomb on his car,
and blow him up. Regardless of method, when you either kill him or let him

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the 100% Completion categories is for Random Events. These are various
situations that appear at random throughout the state. There are a bunch of
them but you only need to do fourteen of them for Completion percentage. Once
you fill up that category then you don't need to do them anymore.
However, some of them do have certain rewards that can be helpful to you,
like Skill increases, large monetary rewards, and even contacts for future
heists. Most of these can be done by all three characters but some can be
only done by one or two.
In some cases you may need to pass time by sleeping in order to make certain
situations appear. This is why you should do the mission "Chop" prior to
doing any of these Events - so you can free up your Safehouse.
These events are broken into three types:
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| A. ATM Robberies |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are many ATM Machines scattered throughout Los Santos and the various
towns to the north. You can use them to view your money and to even attack
those who try to use them.
However, if pass by one, you may encounter a robbery that you did not
initiate. You can chase down the robber, take him down, and take the money
for yourself. But you do have the option of returning the money back to its
rightful owner for a small reward.
You can do more that one but only the first ATM Robbery will count towards
100% Completion - any others you do afterwards will not.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| B. Security Vans |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Another event is the Security Van. When you drive by certain areas you may
find a large blue dot on your map. This signifies a special Securicar. It
will be manned by two guards and you can rob these vehicles for far more cash
than what you can with the regular vans.
Sometimes you can encounter a Van while it is parked and with one of the
guards carrying briefcase containing the money. Confronting the guards will
give you an automatic 2-Star Wanted Rating but you can quickly run over or
shoot the money carrying guard, grab the case, and make a quick exit before
the Police arrive.
Other times the Van will be driving along the road. In this case the money is
inside. Following the Van until it stops is pointless because it never does.
You can shoot up the back of the Van to open the doors and cause the money to
fall out. However, the moment you start firing you will get a Wanted Rating
and it may take many shots to blow open the doors thus Cops may interfere
before you can get the money to fall out.
The best thing to do here is to throw a Sticky Bomb on the doors and blow it
open that way. You won't get a Rating until the doors open and you can
quickly grab the money and run off before too many Cops show up.
You cannot jack the Van but you can take it when the guards leave it. This
may help you when dealing with the Police as you can easily grab the armored
vehicle after you quickly dispatch of the guards.
There are a total of ten of these Vans and you can do them repeatedly.
However, only the first time you do a Van will count towards Completion
percentage. But, unlike with the ATM Robberies, when you find a new Van it
will count for percentage.
A GameFAQs user, elduende05, suggested sleeping for about a week (after doing
a Van) in order to make another one (or the same one) appear. Others have
suggested that it doesn't take as long (about four days minimum) but I found
that sleeping about a week pretty much guarantees you can get a Van to spawn
when you get near any of its locations which are are follows:

The last kind of Random Event are Encounters. These are little mini-missions
that appear randomly during the course of the game. There are approximately
forty six of these Encounters but not all of them will trigger at the same
point of the game. Some can be triggered now, others can pop up during the
remainder of the game.
You do not have to do them all but there are some you should do as they have
special rewards that can help you. You can get Skill increases, monetary
rewards, and contacts for Heists and Booty Calls.
Just after the mission "Mr. Philips" you can do some of these as Trevor and
be allowed to take people up to a Cult Compound in Blaine County. Some of the
early Encounters do have people you can take up there but should be saved for
later.
You can go from Encounter to Encounter in one run but there are some that
only appear at certain hours of the day or night. In addition, some may not
appear right away even if you pass by its location several times. In this
case you should head to your Safehouse and sleep for a couple of days or
until you reach a specific point of the day to get them to appear.
The names for each of the Encounters comes from the Rockstar Games Social
Club website. GameFAQs user EarlJenson started a topic concerning when these
Encounters appear, eventually writing his own guide about them, and his data
is being presented in this document, along with my own observations. He was
able to determine that eleven of these Encounters appear at this point of the
game.

>>Sport Bike Thief
****************
Neighborhood: Richman, on N. Rockford Drive just north of Richman
Street.
Map: (A-2) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You should bring a high-end car for this one. A high-end
motorcycle is stolen and you need to chase it down. Knock the
thief off the bike and return it to its owner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: Nothing.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
>>Snatched
********
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills, on S. Mo Milton Dr.
Map: (B-2) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You should have the Micro SMG for this one (another
recommendation is modifying your vehicle with armor and
bulletproof mods).
A woman is being taken by The Lost and thrown into a van. There
are three kidnappers and they pack weapons. Drive up and stop
near them. They are invincible as they put her in the van but
shoot them with the Micro SMG anyway to get their attention.
If you do this right they will immediately get out of the van
instead of you having to chase them. Quickly kill them with the
submachine gun. After that then get the woman out of the van and
drive her to Chumash.
As you drive there more Lost members show up on bikes behind
you. Even though they use Sawed-Off Shotguns they are accurate
from a distance and may kill you quickly if you don't do
anything.
Stop and use the Micro SMG to get rid of them before they can do
a lot of damage. After that then continue to the marker in
Chumash to end the encounter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: Nothing. However, if you wait until later and unlock Trevor,
then you have the option to take her to the Cult Compound. I
highly recommend taking her up to there for reasons I will
explain later in the guide.

>>Robbery 1
*********
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills, at the Rockford Hills Barber Shop.
Map: (C-3) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will need to enter this place once before being allowed to
activate this Encounter.
When you walk into the Shop you will interrupt a robbery. After
the robbers leave then immediately arm yourself with an machine
gun. Try to get them before they leave the scene.
If they drive off then chase them down and shoot them with
either your Pistol or Micro SMG. When you kill them both a large
duffel bag will drop from the vehicle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: Nothing if you return the bag but $2,000 if you keep it.

Map: (C-4) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The driver of the truck is trapped and you need to move the
pipes out of the way before it explodes. Use the nearby Dozer to
push the pipes away from the passenger door. The driver will
then exit and the encounter will end successfully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Use a fast car for this one. Go into the alley and take the
actress away from the photographers. After you lose them then
take her back to her home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: $750. However, if you wait until later and unlock Trevor, then
you have the option to take her to the Cult Compound. If you
don't want to take the woman from "Snatched" up to the Compound
then I recommend taking the actress there instead.

Notes: A woman will have her purse stolen. Quickly run over the thief
to retrieve the purse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: $200 or $2,000 depending on whether or not you return the purse
to the victim. This can sometimes be mistaken for an ATM
Robbery.

>>Getaway Driver
**************
Neighborhood: Strawberry, near the south corner of Strawberry Ave. and
Macdonald Street.
Map: (D-5) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You should take a four-door car with you. Take the two robbers
away and lose the 2-Star Wanted Rating. As you drive away you
find that one of the robbers worked in Liberty City. That robber
is Packie McReary - who worked with Niko in GTA IV.
One of the best ways to lose the Rating is the train tunnel loop
near the intersection of Carson Ave. and Brouge Ave. There is
the incline in the middle of the intersection that goes down
into the loop and you can easily lose sight of them down here.
After you lose the Wanted Rating then take them to Cypress Flats
to complete the Encounter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: $1,000 plus Packie McReary contact for Heists which you will be
doing later in the game. Interestingly enough you can take both
Packie and his friend to the Cult Compound. But I highly
recommend not doing that because Packie is very useful for
Heists plus you get some good money from him at this point of
the game.

Neighborhood: Rancho, on Little Bighorn Ave. between Carson Ave. and
Macdonald Street.
Map: (D-5) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Knock thief from the bike and return to its owner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: Nothing but you will get a message later in the game from
somebody named Gary Nicholson who will give you $100,000 in
Animal Ark shares.
This can be used to quickly acquire the {Trading Pure Alpha}
Accomplishment. I recommend cashing out the stocks as soon as
you get the message as they go down in price over the course of
the game.
After doing these it's time to go back to Strawberry.....

After avoiding Aunt Denise, Franklin encounters Lamar and his dog, Chop.
Lamar wants Franklin to accompany him on a simple walk around the
block.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Apparently Lamar wants to do a kidnapping of another gangmember named D.
Get into the van and head up to Vinewood. When you get there you then
confront D who takes off on a fast bike. However, you have to drive a slow
van. Keep up with him and he will eventually wipe out near a bus terminal.
At this point Chop will be let out of the van and you have to chase D into
the train area. You will be instructed on how to quickly change characters
and open boxcars. After failing to find D then Chop will run off and do the
"wild thing" with another dog. Pull Chop off then resume the search for D.
After finding D then Chop will chase him a short distance and take him
down. After you put D in the van then drive back to Lamar's House.
Unfortunately, Lamar uses his cellphone to make the ransom call which
upsets Franklin because the call can be easily traced.
Because of this you need to led D out. After letting him go then drive to
the Rec Center. When you drop off Lamar then the mission is completed
successfully.
0===========0
| 100% Score \

>>Not a Scratch

You need to do the mission with minimal damage to the van. Because the
van is slow you can easily avoid obstacles and this should be easy to
get.

You need to remain within Chop's perspective for ten seconds. Quick
switch to Chop and stay in this perspective for awhile. For some laughs
let him do the "wild thing" while you're him.
>>Advanced Reflexes

You need to use Franklin's Special for seven seconds. If you have maxed
out his Special then use it when you are prompted to by Lamar and let
it run out to easily obtain this Requirement.

After the mission you'll also get a call from Lamar. He wants you to let Chop
stay at your place for awhile. Franklin agrees. This will bring up a bone
icon at your house where you can play with Chop. It is important to note that
spending a little time to play with him is *REQUIRED* for 100% Completion and
falls into the Miscellaneous category. Play fetch with him for a bit to
complete this requirement.

Hao is another one of Franklin's friends. He is heavy into the street
racing scene and challenges Franklin to a race.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
You may want to get a fast car or mod your Buffalo with the most recent
mods available.
According to Callum x360a at www.xboxachievements.com this mission will
count towards the {Multi-Disciplined} Accomplishment even if you don't get
a Gold Medal during this mission.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
This mission is only available between 20:00 and 5:00.
Make your way to the marker near your home. This will begin a two lap
checkpoint race with five other cars. The course winds through the
Strawberry, Rancho, and Davis areas.
This is a fairly easy race course-wise and opponent-wise as you can get
into first place quickly with the right car. When you get into first place
then be conservative around the course so you don't smack into things. The
traffic isn't too bad so that helps. If you finish the race in first place
then the encounter is completed successfully.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Fastest Lap
***********
You need to complete a lap in less than 1:20. If you're good with your
driving, regardless of car, you can get this easy.
>>Underdog
********
You need to finish the race in less than 2:50. This is also pretty easy
with a good car and good driving.
>>Clean Race
**********
You need to finish the race with less than five collisions. This is
probably the hardest to get because of the jousting for position
between the other cars and yourself near the beginning of the race.
Keep your distance and pass them clean. If you can get into first place
without any scrapes you can drive more conservative and avoid other
possible collisions.

In addition to the race you just completed more Street Races will now begin
to appear starting with one in Downtown Vinewood. There are a total of five
races in all and they are required for 100% Completion. They will appear on
your map as a car with a checkered flag. And, like the last race, they are
only available between 20:00 and 5:00.
Each race requires an entry fee and you can win much more than you pay into.
Winning a race will also give you a Gold Medal. When you successfully
complete a race it will have a checkmark next to it.
The last four races will appear through texts from Hao at various points in
the early part of the story. When they appear will depend on how fast you go
through the story. For this reason I am grouping them all together here in
this chapter:
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
0==================0
| Downtown Vinewood \
0=========================================================>
++Entry Fee: $500.
++Winnings: $2,250.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a long course through this part of the city. Even so it is
easy to get into first place early. After taking the lead then
focus on going through the course and avoiding collisions. A
pretty easy race overall.
0========0
| Airport \
0=========================================================>
++Entry Fee: $1,000.
++Winnings: $4,500.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This two-lap race will take you through the Airport, Maze Bank
Arena, and Grove St. areas. At the beginning of the race you need
to be careful when going up the onramp for the Arena - you could
end up on the wrong ramp when it splits or hit the median.
Another area to be careful of is the railroad tracks prior to the
Grove St. area. The posts for the railroad gates are solid and
will cause you to stop if you hit them. Outside of these areas the </pre><pre id="faqspan-11">
rest of the course is easy and you can keep far ahead of your
rivals.
0========0
| Freeway \
0=========================================================>
++Entry Fee: $1,250.
++Winnings: $5,625.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This two-lap race involves the freeway loops on the Olympic Fwy.
This is a much harder race than the others. Getting into first
place is tricky because of the off-ramps going down and up. A
couple of hard areas involve the down ramps as you can get some
air and lose control resulting in flying off the course. You need
to slow down a little in those parts.
Another major problem area is the center where you need to cut
across the freeway and change direction. This becomes more
problematic if you are still jockeying for position. When you get
into first place then focus on going through the course without
hitting any of the traffic on the freeway - especially those on
the ramps because of the narrow roadway.
0================0
| Vespucci Canals \
0=========================================================>
++Entry Fee: $1,500.
++Winnings: $6,750.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a two-lap race that goes around the Vespucci Canals, Del
Perro, and Vespucci Beach areas. This is an aggravating race due
to the fact that you have to use a motorcycle which you need to
have before you are allowed to race. The best one to use is an
Bati 801 or a Dinka Double-T (you may want to mod them first just
to be safe).
It is much easier to wreck and you will be doing a lot of that if
you are not too careful. Take it easy around curves or you can
easily crash. A bad area is the Prosperity St. Promenade shopping
area. If you can go through this area unscathed you will be in
great shape since the other riders tend to wreck here.
After winning this race you will get a call from Hao
congratulating you on your prowess.

Franklin encounters Beverly, a photographer looking for the next big
celebrity picture. Beverly at first believes that Franklin is a celebrity
but then rails against the hypocrisy of celebrities. He then spots a famous
actress and convinces Franklin to chase her so he can get a shot.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get alongside the limo so Beverly can get shots of Miranda who is inside.
Stay close so he can get his shots. After awhile the limo will speed
further ahead of you and it is at that point that a rival photographer
named Madison who comes in to steal some shots. Beverly now wants you to go
after him instead of the limo.
To catch up, push down on the Left Analog Stick to speed up. When you get
to him then activate your Special to slow things down and let Beverly knock
off Madison. After that then take Beverly to his next stakeout. When you
get there then the encounter is successfully completed.

>>Smack Down
**********
You need help Beverly take down Madison on the first try. This is
somewhat frustrating due to the fact that Beverly tends to throw his
punch either too soon or too late. Approach Madison on his right and
activate your Special just before you get to him. When you get to him
then Beverly will start his punch and that should be enough to get
Madison.
>>Picture Perfect

You need to help Beverly snap and inspect three photographs. Keeping up
with the limo until it speeds ahead should allow you to give Beverly
the opportunities he needs to get this Requirement.

Follow Beverly into the hotel grounds. Eventually he will lead you to where
Poppi and her boyfriend are getting it on. The game will instruct you on
how to use the camera. After awhile you will be seen and you will be chased
by her and her security.
Follow Beverly to his car. You will get in the back seat and he will do the
driving as you are being pursued by her. At this point you need to keep the
camera aimed at Poppi's face during the entire chase. This can be difficult
to do at some points because she will swing across wildly and Beverly will
pull some sharp turns of his own.
After she wrecks in the construction site then the chase ends and the
encounter will be completed successfully.

Simeon wants you to get an SUV from some kid in Rockford Hills.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to where the vehicle is in Rockford Hills. During the drive Simeon calls
you to inform you that the garage is locked and you need to open it from
the inside. When you get to the house you need to jump the fence using the
nearby gate. The game will then instruct you on how to use Stealth Mode and
knock out people from behind as you stalk the Gardener.
After taking care of him then proceed. Sneak around the house and you will
find a vehicle that you can use to climb through an upstairs window. After
you get inside the house then gently sneak downstairs while avoiding the
residents. Get into the garage then into the SUV. From here, simply drive
out of the garage.
As you drive to the dealership you are ambushed by the father, Michael, who
was hiding in the back seat. Go to the blip not far from Simeon's. You are
then instructed to ram the vehicle through the window. After you smash
through the window then Michael pays Franklin, who flees, and starts a
fight with Simeon.
At this point you automatically switch to Michael and you need to fight
Simeon. Just continually punch him or he will counterattack. He's not as
weak as you think he may be so it is best to take him down quickly. After
defeating Simeon then Michael leaves the dealership and the mission ends
successfully.

0==========================================================================/
Michael is a former bank robber who is now living in a luxurious home in
Rockford Hills. He is also married and has two kids. But, as you may have
already seen so far, things are far from perfect.
Michael starts off with $7,860 and a Pistol with 120 rounds. If you stay with
him for a short bit he will get a message from his wife telling him about the
Tennis court he never uses. This will open up all of the Tennis courts in the
Los Santos area. This will also open up the Golf Course for him to use. His
personal car is the Tailgater.
Michael's Special Ability is to slow down time while on foot. This will give
him an advantage in combat. He will also have two Stranger missions specific
to him as well as the next Main Story mission at his house. But there are
things to do before resuming with the story.....

At this point it is best to go around and build up some of his Skills using
the various tricks mentioned earlier. As noted earlier, you cannot increase
his Special until after the mission "Father/Son". I also highly recommend you
go and collect Hidden Packages so you can have at least $100,000 to $200,000
for some of the tasks just ahead. I'll get to the Sports in a little bit.
At this point he has two Stranger encounters and I'll go do them first
starting with the one in Pacific Bluffs.....

Walk through the Square killing any Aliens you come across with your

he will try to abduct you. You need to move your Left Analog Stick quickly
left and right to avoid being taken and failing the mission.
Best thing to do is hold down the fire button and kill the Aliens the
moment they appear. After awhile the effect wears off and Michael returns
to normal. This will end the encounter successfully.

This may take a couple of tries as you learn where the ledge Aliens
spawn at so you can quickly destroy them before they can hit you. In
addition, find some cover to limit their ability to hit you. The ledge
Aliens will disappear after awhile if you don't kill them so you can
stay behind cover.

You need to kill seven Aliens in ten seconds. Just shoot the Aliens as
quickly as they appear. I managed to get this on my initial

Now is time to go over the two Sports that have been opened up. These Sports
are required for 100% Completion and can be used to improve your Strength
Skill. However, because of the easy to use Bus Stomping Trick, you can have
your Strength maxed out before doing these and make them easier to do.
0=====0
| Golf \
0====================================================>
This activity is open between 6:00 and 18:00 and you have to pay $100. You
can choose up to three other players to play with you or you can play by
yourself. This is a nine hole course and you can unlock other challengers
by completing a round. You need to get par or better in order to get
Completion percentage.
The controls are fairly straightforward. There is a gauge on the right side
of the screen. Pull back on the Left Analog Stick to begin your swinging
motion and quickly push up when you reach the yellow point on the gauge.
This will complete your swing.
You can add spin to the ball by going left or right in the stick while the
gauge is in motion. You also need to account for wind when aiming yourself.
You use the Right Analog Stick to aim where you would like for the ball to
go. You can see where you are aiming by looking at the hole outline on the
left side of the screen.
When you are putting there will be a grid overlay that will determine the
contour of the course so you can make proper adjustments to your swing.
It's not too hard to get par on this course even on your first time. After
completing a round you will get the Golf Club added to your Weapon Wheel.
0=======0
| Tennis \
0====================================================>
Unlike the single Golf Course there are multiple places to play Tennis,
even your own home. The game gives simple instructions on how to play. You
use the Left Analog Stick to swing and the face buttons are used for
various spins of the ball.
You can select the number of games and difficulty of opponent. To quickly
get Completion percentage I recommend one game and easy difficulty.
The main thing to do is to get your opponent to be on one side of the court
and to hit the ball to the other side to get it past him. It's not
difficult to do although it will take some time to get the hang of the
controls and general gameplay. You also get $12 for winning.

Franklin visits Michael who is relaxing at his mansion pool. After the two
of them chat about things then Michael decides to get Franklin the beer he
promised on the last mission.
However, Michael's son, Jimmy, calls with some urgent news. Jimmy was
trying to sell Michael's boat because he thought his father no longer
wanted it. But the buyers decided to steal it instead. So Michael needs to
rescue his son and his boat. Franklin decides to come along and help
out.....
0========0

Pistol.
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
This can also be started by Franklin but you will miss out on various
things about the house.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get into Amanda's Car and follow the trail to the boat. When you find the
boat then quickly get behind it and follow it. Get close to it so Franklin
can board it. You need to be careful not to crash or you will fail the
mission as this will more than likely kill Franklin.
Once Franklin is on the yacht then continue to follow it. Help out Franklin
by shooting at the Thief trying to throw him off. After that then Franklin
will find Jimmy. Jimmy will then end up on the boat's boom. Carefully go
under him and catch him. After that then get close to the back of the boat
to catch Franklin.
Once Franklin is inside then chase after the boat. However, the car's
engine blows out and now you need to break off the chase and get it
repaired. When you get to the Los Santos Customs then Michael gives you a
couple of thousand dollars to fix the car and will ride off in a Taxi.
Now you auto switch back to Franklin so you can repair the car. This is
Hao's garage and he will repair the car for free this time. After repairing
the car then drive back to Michael's house. After you drop off Jimmy then
the mission will end successfully.

not to smack into anything while going after him then you should get
this easy.

You need to deliver Amanda's Car back to the house without any damage.
Just drive slowly and carefully so you don't hit anything.

In addition, you'll be given Michael's contact on your phone and Jimmy will
be added to your friends on your LifeInvader page. And you will now be able
to increase Michael's Special so you should work on that a little later.
As Franklin you may also get additional messages from Hao concerning Street
Races if you haven't finished them up already. You should also finish them
up before proceeding with the story. Shortly after the mission you will get
a call from an angry Simeon basically telling you you're fired from the
dealership.
If you switched back to Franklin immediately after the mission
"Complications" then you would've been involved in a phone conversation
with Lamar which discusses in a little more detail about the firing (the
theft of the bike and what Michael made Franklin do at the dealership).
Staying with Michael through the last mission causes you to miss this
conversation.
After the call from Simeon then Lamar will give you a text telling you that
the bike he stole in the mission "Repossession" he is giving to you and
will be parked at your Aunt's house. This will become your second personal
vehicle.
And this mission will also open up something else.....

St. This indicates a Property you can buy. There are a multitude of places
you can purchase throughout the game. Each Property purchased is colored
coded to whichever character bought it. Some Properties open up now and
others will open up later.
The place that Franklin can purchase is a car garage. It costs $30,000 and is
used to store vehicles found in the street and purchased online. When you
switch to Michael he will have his own garage that he can purchase - the
Vinewood Garage. Just like the one on Grove St. it is mainly used for storing
vehicles and costs $30,000.
There will be some money making Businesses that will open during the game and
I will cover them later.

If you've gone and acquired some of the Hidden Packages and done the Random
Event Encounter "Bike Thief City 1" then you should have a lot of money. The
building at Grove St. is a vehicle garage where you can store multiple cars.
This building does not generate money so buying it does not count for
Completion percentage.
However, you will need it so you can buy a vehicle from the web which is
required for 100% Completion. Buy the garage (for $30,000) then go onto the
internet and to Travel and Transport - www.southernsanandreassuperautos.com.
Then purchase any vehicle to add towards Completion percentage. I recommend
the Faggio as it is the cheapest of the vehicles.
On the map you will see marker for both Michael and Franklin. Let's stay with
Franklin and do the one at his house.....

If you don't already have the Pump Shotgun in your Weapon Wheel then you
may want to either go up to the Alamo Sea or enter a Police car to get a
free one and save some money.

0=======================>
Get in the car and drive to the Ammu-Nation. When you get there you need to
buy the Flashlight mod for your Pump Shotgun. If you don't already have the
Shotgun then you will need to buy it. If you have plenty of money then fill
up your ammo and buy the Suppressor. After buying what you need then drive
over to the meeting at the Recycling Plant.
When you get to the building then enter it and proceed up. You will then
meet D, the same person you tried to kidnap earlier. You also discover that
you have been set up and you need to get out of the Plant alive. You can
use your Pump Shotgun or, better still, the Assault Shotgun as you proceed
carefully along the hallways and kill any of the Ballas you encounter.
Slowly proceed through the first floor and kill the Ballas quickly before
they can do much damage. After getting rid of them then leave through the
door going outside. At this point you now have a 3-Star Wanted Rating.
Now you have to deal with a Police chopper. Kill the gunman quickly with an
Assault Rifle to make it go away. Proceed through the Junkyard and to the
street. At this point more Cops will show up. But someone just left behind
a car right in front of you. Take it and lose the Cops.
One of the best ways is the train tunnel loop east of Grove St. Quickly
pause the game and put a GPS marker at the intersection of Carson Ave. and
Brouge Ave. This usually means turning around and going through the rapidly
approaching Cops. Quickly follow the marker and get to the intersection.
Then go down the tracks into the tunnel to lose the Police. After losing
the Cops then drive back to your home to successfully complete the mission.

Get in the truck and chase him. After some distance you lose him but you

which happens to be on stilts. While Michael is screaming at the coach he
instructs Franklin to tie a cable to the supports. After the cutscene then
get in the truck and drive off. This will eventually pull down the house.
After this then head back to Michael's House. You will get a call from the
Coach telling Michael that it wasn't his house, it belonged to somebody
else, somebody named Martin Madrazo, apparently somebody powerful in the
Mexican underworld. At this point you will be chased by two cars of
Madrazo's Men.
Quickly switch to Franklin and use either the Pistol or Micro SMG to
quickly take them down. After dealing with them then head back to Michael's
House again. When you get there then you will be confronted by Mr. Madrazo
who is very upset over Michael's antics. He forces Michael to repay for the
destroyed house. After the cutscene ends then the mission is successfully

Stay close to the house when you deal with Madrazo's Men. This will
greatly shorten the drive back.

You need to kill at least three enemies while you are in a vehicle. If
you stay inside the truck the entire time then you should get this with
little problem. Before switching to Franklin you should drive into a
narrow space so Michael can't drive away so easily and that your
targets are lined up behind you.
When you switch to Franklin you can use any weapon including the Micro
SMG. Switching to that will allow to kill all four more quickly. If
Michael manages to drive off before you can kill the gunmen then switch
back and drive somewhere where you can corner yourself and go back to
Franklin so you can kill those who approach.

storing vehicles and does not make money. It costs $30,000.
After the mission Michael will be in a park trying to contact an old
friend, Lester. This will bring an "L" marker on the map. You will also
have another "M" marker at your house.
In addition, Michael will also call Dr. Friedlander and this will also put
his marker on the map. This is an optional activity where Michael can go
over and talk about his problems to him. It will cost $500 per visit.

there then select a bike and start pedaling. Following the assigned path to
the end of the pier to beat Jimmy. After the race Jimmy points out that
Tracey is on a big boat nearby. She has been sleeping around with various
producers in an attempt to get famous. This angers Michael and he decides
to swim to the boat.
Swim out to the boat and confront her friends. This will start a chase on
Seasharks. They will chase and shoot at you. Go through the canals and to
the south end of the beach to lose them. You also have the option of
killing them with either your Pistol or Micro SMG. After losing or killing
them then head to the marker at the beach. This will start a cutscene that

Now, before we continue with things, I am going to take a lengthy detour
that will net you some major rewards.....
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GHF22. The Epsilon Program |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Not far from Michael's house is a large building for this cult-like religion
that is loosely based on the real life Scientology movement. The Epsilon
Program was introduced in San Andreas and brought back for this installment.
This time you can actually interact with the cult and do encounters with them
but only as Michael.
But, before doing them, you will need to have about $100,000 at hand. This is
the main reason for going after the Hidden Packages earlier in the game when
you unlocked Michael.
It is important to note that doing these encounters is *NOT* required for
100% Completion. But there are some rewards worth noting:
--The {Kifflom!} Accomplishment.
--Three potential Gold Medals.
--Over two million dollars.
That last reward alone is why you should do these encounters as it will set
up Michael real good, money wise, at this stage of the game.
The earliest you can deal with the cult is the mission "Father/Son" but I
decided to put this chapter here so there would be no missions at the house
at this time. You also have to have done Franklin's Stranger mission "Pulling
Favors" too before you are allowed to interact with the cult. But, if you've
followed the order of the guide thus far, then this should not be a problem.
Some of the information presented here comes from
www.xbox360achievements.com.
To start things off you need to go onto the Internet and enter
www.epsilonprogram.com in the search bar at the top of the screen. If you
have one I recommend using a keypad that can be attached to the joypad, such
as the Xbox 360's ChatPad.
Once you are at the website then complete the identity evaluation. After
seeing your score then leave the website. If you look at your map then you
should see a "?" marker in Raton Canyon. This is your first encounter.....

When you get to the marker you will find a red pickup. You will then start a
cutscene where Michael reads the Epsilon tract but is attacked by a couple of
followers. He will then wake up almost naked near the radar dishes in the
Grand Senora Desert. This will end the encounter.
After this then go back to the website and make a donation of $500. This will
unlock the next encounter, which is The Epsilon Program symbol, roughly
twenty four hours after the donation.

When Michael walks into the storage building he meets Marnie (as in Marnie
Allen, the prostitute Niko saved in GTA IV). She tells him about an
"incredible education tool" that will help him. But he needs to pay $5,000 to
get it. After the encounter ends then make the $5,000 donation to unlock the
next encounter which appears about twenty four hours after you make the
payment.

When Michael meets Marnie again in Grapeseed he finds that he needs to
acquire vehicles for the "higher beings". After the encounter then leave the
area to get an email from Marnie outlining the vehicles needed:
--Pegassi Vacca ($240,000)
--Benefactor Surano ($99,000)
--Declasse Tornado
--Enus Super Diamond ($250,000)
--Dinka Double-T
As you can see you can buy some of the vehicles listed but they are pretty
expensive. Thankfully, if you don't have the money or just want to be cheap,
you can find them in the wild either randomly or at the following locations
(which are hinted in the pictures that accompany the email):
++Pegassi Vacca
=============
3659 Wild Oats Dr. in Vinewood Hills.
++Benefactor Sureno
=================
At a small parking lot at the east side of the small road loop in the
center of Lake Vinewood Estates in Vinewood Hills.
++Declasse Tornado
================
At the Car Shop (with the signage "Domestic - Japanese - European") at
the east side of the intersection of Elgin Ave. and Spanish Avenue in
Hawick.
++Enus Super Diamond
==================
Parked behind Leopold's which is along Dorset Ave. between Heritage Way
and Palomino Ave. in Rockford Hills.
++Dinka Double-T
==============
At the LifeInvader offices at the intersection of Boulevard Del Perro
and Dorset Drive.
Although there are many YouTube videos that show you where to find the cars
they neglect to inform you that these vehicles will *NOT* appear in the wild
until *AFTER* you start the encounter. If you want any of these vehicles for
yourself then take it to your garage - the game will spawn another one to
replace it.
Another thing to note is that these cars will spawn at these locations only
during the duration of the encounter - not before and not after. If you want
any of them then you should get them now.
When you find a car then take it to the Epsilon symbol in Vinewood Hills.
After delivering all five vehicles then you will receive another email which
sets up the next encounter twenty four hours after this one.

Michael meets up with Marnie and with actor Jimmy Boston. They want you to
search for alien artifacts using a special device. The device will light up
blue when you get close to an artifact. It will also vibrate and make noise
as you get close.
When you start, head west towards some houses. Eventually you will find an
old TV sitting on the ground. This turns out to not be the artifact. Continue
looking.
From here, head back east until you reach a dry creek bed then turn north
along the west edge. Continue until you find a car battery. This is also not
the artifact. You need to continue looking.
From here, cross the creek bed to the east edge and head south. Eventually
you will find a trio of tree stumps and an old boot. Michael proclaims to
have found the artifact and Marnie declares him ready for the next level.
This will complete the encounter.
You will also get Jimmy Boston's contact for your phone. Go back to the
website and make two $5,000 donations to unlock the next encounter which
appears about twenty four hours after the donation.

When you meet Marnie again she is in front of a wall apparently praying to
something. In order to prove yourself to Cris you need to get the Epsilon
Robes and wear them for ten days straight.
Go back to the website and order the robes for $25,000. Then head home and
sleep for about a day and a half then leave your room to get the delivery
confirmation message. Go to your Closet and select the Epsilon Robes. Then
sleep for ten days. You will also get a notification on how long you have
worn the robes.
After you sleep the ten days then leave your room and head downstairs. You
should get a message from Cris telling you that you will be summoned later.
Shortly afterwards you will be summoned by Jimmy and this unlocks the next
encounter.
From this point forward you need to stay in your robes until you complete all
of the remaining encounters.

When you get to the beach near Fort Zancudo you then need to fly the nearby
plane to Jimmy. Get in the plane, take off, and fly east along the Zancudo
River. Along the way you'll be contacted by Jimmy. He instructs you to fly to
Sandy Shores Airfield. Land the plane at the Airfield then leave it and go to
Jimmy nearby. This will successfully end the encounter and unlocks the next
one (about twenty four hours after this one).
It should be noted that you can take the Ocelot F620 nearby back to Los

When Michael gets to the Grand Senora Desert and meets with the others then
he needs to run five miles through the desert to further prove himself.
The best way to do this, based on what others have been doing, is to get a
short distance within the Desert, tape your Left Analog Stick in a diagonal
position, and make Michael walk around in a circle while you go do something
else (taping down the Run Button as well will speed things up). Using the
System Hardware Pause Trick will *NOT* work for this.
The game will mark your progress every tenth of a mile. After you do the five
miles then you will receive a call from Cris Fromage. This will end the
encounter and immediately unlock the last one. You will also need $50,000
before doing this encounter.

When Michael meets Cris then he needs him to deliver the money to Cris'
helicopter. Follow the convoy the short distance to the Drop-Off Point, which
is next door to a Los Santos Customs. Get out of the vehicle and follow one
of the followers down to receive your ultimate reward which is.....an old
tractor. Yep, you just got shafted and your money is gone to boot.
So how are you supposed to get all of that money? That's right, you have to
kill or evade everybody. Evading them is difficult and killing them is hard
too. Not necessarily because they're resilient but because they are very
accurate with their firearms, even more-so than the Cops and that's saying
something.
Before you do this option you should have a Micro SMG, an Assault/Carbine
Rifle, and an RPG with lots of ammo for each.
When you start the encounter then back up a little bit and kill the Guard
behind you with the Micro SMG. This will start the fight. Stay in your car as
this will provide some important cover. The helicopter will fly and hover
directly above you. As the others are coming in from either behind or in
front of you go and kill the other foot Guard in front of you.
As you are fighting off the Guards the Cops will get involved so you need to
keep an eye out for them too. Once you have managed to kill off all of the
ground forces then you will need to get rid of the helicopter.
The chopper will always stay near the car so use that to your advantage. Get
out of your car and run enough of a distance so you can get a good angle on
the helicopter. Then quickly blow up the helicopter with the RPG before the
shooter inside can do a lot of damage. Wait for the wreckage to drop down
before running back to the car.
At this point you will get an automatic 3-Star Wanted Rating. It is important
to note that there is no Police helicopter so it will be easier to lose the
Rating. Use the alleys to lose pursuit while at the same time heading for the
Los Santos River. If you can't lose them by the time you reach the river then
head for the sewer/subway construction tunnel at the north end.
When the Rating finally disappears then you will complete this encounter and
finally finish with The Epsilon Program.

\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
When you completed the mission "Daddy's Little Girl" you also opened up this
multi-sport race. You need to swim, bike, and run your way to the finish
line. Any character can do this.
Before doing this it is highly recommended that you max out your Stamina
Skill so you don't have to worry about draining your health. Upgrading your
Lung Capacity Skill beforehand is optional.
You compete against seven other participants. There is no money to enter but
you don't get any money for completing either. Successfully completing all of
the Triathlons is required for 100% Completion. Getting a Gold Medal in a
Triathlon will add towards the {Multi-Disciplined} Accomplishment.
Successfully completing a race will open up the next. There are a total of
three Triathlons in the game - Vespucci Beach, Alamo Sea, and Sandy Shores.
When you start the race you will see your position, time, and Stamina in the
lower right corner of the screen. Maxing out your Stamina Skill before the
race makes the Stamina Bar irrelevant.
The main thing you have to do is to continually tap your Run Button. Swimming
underwater for short stretches actually makes you swim faster, great for
getting an early lead. Having your Lung Capacity Skill maxed out before the
race may allow you to swim farther underwater thus allowing you to get a nice
lead on your rivals.
While the first two races aren't too bad the third one, Coyote Cross Country
Triathlon in Sandy Shores, is probably the longest race ever put into any of
the GTA games - a race that will take you about half an hour to finish.
You can use the swimming part to get a nice big lead but that won't make much
of a difference. The reason is because, on the biking segment, the
programmers put in "rubber-banding", a lazy programming method that gives
artificial challenge by allowing the computer to quickly catch up and blow
past you regardless of how much of a lead you have and how fast you are going
(a tactic that I wish was totally outlawed).
The best thing to do in this segment, which is very long, is to keep the
course and make any cornering shortcuts that you find. The goal is to be
either in the lead or very close to it when you reach the end of the segment.
Thankfully, there is no rubber-banding on the running portion. Once you get
into the lead then you should be able to keep it through to the end. It took
me twenty seven minutes to complete this race.
If your fingers and wrist start to tire and hurt then use the Pause Button to
take a break before resuming. No reason to give yourself carpal tunnel over a
game.

Lester is an old friend of Michael. He helped him plan heists together before
things changed. He is nerdy and reclusive but highly technical. He also
serves as a go-between for fences who take care of the stolen merchandise. He
spends his time dealing in the stock market where he gets the majority of his
money these days.
Michael needs his help in dealing with Mr. Madrazo which leads to the next
mission.....

After re-acquainting himself with Lester, Michael is needed to take down a
lying scumbag, at least according to Lester anyway.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, you need to go to the SubUrban Store in Vinewood. When you get
there you need to get into an appropriate outfit. You need to buy pants and
a top before you can proceed - any combination will work. After changing
into the necessary clothes then head to the LifeInvader Offices. As you
drive there Lester will call you with further instructions.
When you get there then go to the rear entrance and you will be let in
after a cutscene. Follow the Programmer and he will lead you to a computer.
You need to run the anti-virus software before proceeding. You have to get
rid of all of the ads before you are allowed to activate the software.
You can't just click on the ad to make it go away - you have to click the X
in the upper right corner. After cleaning up the computer then you will be
instructed to rig the Prototype.
After doing your dirty work then leave the building. From here, go back to
your house to watch the keynote speech. Wait for Jay Norris to pull out the
Prototype then give him a call. This results in his death and a successful
end to the mission.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Time (8:30)
***********
>>Popups Clear
************
You need to clear all popups within thirty two seconds. This is very
annoying due to the fact that you are using a joypad instead of a
mouse and that more popups appear as you try to clear the others. The
Left Analog Stick is very imprecise for this task and makes it hard to
get to the X's in a reliable manner because it is too fast.
The timing is way too tight for such lousy controls. It will take you
quite a few tries before you can get this.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
Lester will also call you and give you a link to the stock markets. This
will also open up all of the Clothing Stores in the area. This will give
you more options in changing your appearance. Later, you will get a message
from Los Santos Customs telling you of more parts to upgrade your vehicles.
Later still, you will get a mysterious phone call from someone who worked
at LifeInvader. After the Jay's death he finds himself needing additional
work since his shares of LifeInvader stock plummeted. This will put Rickie
Lukens in your contact list as a potential Heist crew member.
But, before proceeding with the Main Story, there are a couple of other
things that should be done first.....

done with Franklin:

Neighborhood: Del Perro, at the SubUrban on Prosperity Street
Promenade.

Notes: This works exactly like Shop Robbery 1. You have to visit the
store first before this Encounter can be activated. When you get
control back then bring out an Assault Rifle and go after the
robbers on foot. They will usually split up and go in two
different directions. Kill the one with the bag to retrieve it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: If you return the bag you will get 25% off your clothing there
(but only on the first item you buy). If you keep the bag you
can get $2,000.

Neighborhood: El Burro Heights, at the Dealership.
Map: (D-4) [Detail Map].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Although the broken window was boarded up some time ago it is
only now you can re-enter the business. Go in with either a
Pistol or machine gun through either entrance.
You will confront two gunmen and Simeon will run off. Even if
you manage to aim at him you cannot kill him - the game won't
let you fire on him. Just kill the two gunmen to complete the
Encounter.
It should be noted that you will more than likely get a Wanted
Rating during the gunfight so you will need to get rid of it.
It is also important to note that, if you want to do this
Encounter, it needs to be done before the mission "Mr. Philips"
or it cannot be done at all.

\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Now it's time to go after another of the Accomplishments, {Los Santos
Customs}. Although the shops are open from the beginning of the game you can
only get this after the mission "Friend Request". The reason is that one of
the necessary upgrades required for this Accomplishment is finally unlocked
at this point of the game (Bulletproof Tires).
PowerPyx over at www.xboxachievements.com made a video about getting this
Accomplishment. However, you do not need to buy everything, just one of each
category should suffice. Nothing on your vehicle should be considered stock -
everything should be upgraded or simply changed. You should get the
Accomplishment when you exit the facility.
If you've done the Hidden Packages and sold your Animal Ark shares then you
should have more then enough money for this. Save your game prior to going to
the shop then, after you get the Accomplishment, reload the save to get your
money back.
While you're Franklin I recommend using your Western Bagger motorcycle for
this. Below is the list of what is recommended to get this Accomplishment for
this bike:
--Armor upgrade (cheapest)
--Brake upgrade (cheapest)
--Engine upgrade (cheapest)
--Exhaust upgrade (cheapest)
--Fairing (remove)
--Frame (cheapest)

When you get to Didier Sachs then steal the Police Car. Even though you
have a 3-Star Wanted Rating the Cops are fairly easy to lose. Try to hide
behind one of the large buildings until the Rating disappears. Then take
her home to successfully complete the mission (and get a Gold Medal).

| >GHF26. Setting Up Heists |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At several points during the game you will perform various heists and raids.
Right now you will begin work on robbing the Vangelico Jewelry Store. There
are several things that need to be done in order to perform a successful
heist:
0===================0
| Scoping Things Out \
0=========================================================>
The first thing you need to do is to go to the location and perform several
tasks to gain intelligence about the place.
0===================0
| The Planning Board \
0=========================================================>
Near the tail end of the intelligence mission you will be presented with a
planning board where you can go over what you know about the place that you
are going to raid.
0=============0
| The Approach \
0=========================================================>
You will be presented with two options for raiding: The Loud and Obvious
Approach and The Smart and Stealthy Approach. There are some additional
setup missions that need to be performed and which ones you do will be
dependent on which approach you wish to take.
0=========0
| The Crew \
0=========================================================>
Here you need to choose three additional people to help in your raid - a
driver, a gunman, and a hacker. Each has various levels of skill. The
better they are, the more smoothly the robbery will go. However, they work
for a percentage of the take. Therefore, the more skilled they are, the
more expensive they are and the less you can get for yourself.
If you're thinking that going cheap on all members of the Crew will result
in a huge amount for yourself that's probably not a good idea. This type of
Crew will move slower which may result in less being stolen and you may
also risk the chance of one of them crashing and losing part of the take
during the getaway which reduces your cut even further and may even result
in a complete mission failure.
The best way to ensure success while getting a good payday is to do what I
call a Balanced Crew - one high-level, one mid-level, and one low-level
member.
At the end of the heist your Crew members will get a significant increase
in overall skill. If you keep the same Crew throughout the entire game you
can create a really nice skilled Crew by the time you get to the heavy
stuff. It should also be pointed out that their cut won't change even if
they become real skilled near the end of the game.
In addition, you can get additional Crew members to choose from by doing
certain Random Event Encounters.
++The Driver
==========
A good driver will research the route and determine what is the best
vehicles for the getaway as well as make sure that everybody follows
him and takes the proper route. He will also be helpful in robbing
whatever place you raid. Right now you have two drivers to choose
from: Eddie Toh and Karim Denz. You can get another driver to choose
from later in the game.
++The Gunman
==========
A good gunman will be very helpful in necessary crowd control and
won't make bad decisions. He will also be quick in grabbing the
merchandise which will improve the overall take. And he will be less
likely to crash during the getaway.
If you've done the Random Event Encounter "Getaway Driver" you should
have three gunmen to choose from: Gustavo Mota, Packie McReary, and
Norm Richards.
++The Hacker
==========
A good hacker will suppress the alarm system as long as possible thus
allowing you maximum time to grab all that you need and want. Right
now you should have three hackers to choose from: Paige Harris,
Christian Feltz, and Rickie Lukens.
0==========0
| The Setup \
0=========================================================>
After choosing the Crew then you go and acquire what you need based on what
approach you go with. These missions will appear quickly one after the
other upon completion.
0==========0
| The Heist \
0=========================================================>
After completion of the last setup mission then you begin the robbery
itself. How well it goes will be dependent on your Crew members.
0================0
| Mission Replays \
0=========================================================>
If you choose to do a Mission Replay of the Heist to get Requirements you
will be sent back to the Planning Board where you can choose a new Approach
and Crew. However, you can't do skill increases for Crew members on
Replays. Any Skill increases for a Crew member will be removed and they
will return to their original skill level. This can be annoying at later
stages of the game.
It is also important to point out that if you choose a different Approach
you cannot do any setup missions related to it - you will go straight to
the heist with all the necessary equipment you need.
If you need to do a Mission Replay on a setup mission that is before the
Heist you will have to wait until after the raid since you will immediately
start the Heist after the last setup mission.
With all of that explained let's move on.....

After talking to Lester the both of them head out to Vangelico to scope the
place out.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
If you haven't already done so get Suppressors on your Pistol and Micro SMG
prior to doing this mission along with plenty of ammo for each (1,000+
rounds). This is mainly for the missions ahead. I also highly recommend
doing the "Getaway Driver" Random Event Encounter to unlock Packie McReary.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to the store in Rockford Hills. As you head there you are given some
special glasses that contain a camera. When you get to the marker then head
to the Jewelers and you will be given instructions on how to use your
glasses. Lester will also tell you what he needs - pictures of the security
features (alarm system, ventilation, cameras).
Go inside and take pictures of what he needs. Everything should be just
inside the fron doors. After getting the pictures then talk to the Shop
Assistant. After talking to her then leave the Store.
Next, Lester needs to know about the ventilation on the roof. Get in the
car and drive to the southeast corner of the block to find a construction
area. Get inside and climb to the roof. When you get there then you need to
go to the large unit at the north side of the roof.
The main ventilation system you need to take a picture of is behind a
walled area with some razor wire. The vantage point is on the lower rooftop
north of this. You need to climb up the building there in order to get the
shot of the system. After getting the shot then head back down to the car
and go back to the Garment Factory.
Now you need to choose the approach and Crew. Here are my recommendations
for the Crew:
>>The Driver (Eddie Toh)
**********************
Karim won't exactly do his homework and will have the wrong vehicles
for the task. He also isn't very helpful and gets lost in the
tunnels. So I recommend Eddie as your high-end member for the
Balanced Crew approach. He will get you dirtbikes for the tunnel,
knows the route very well, and makes sure you follow it.
>>The Gunman (Packie McReary)
***************************
Norm is slow and will more than likely crash during the getaway (he
might also kill a hostage or let her run if you go Loud). Even though
Packie is just as good as Gustavo he can be technically be considered
mid-level even though he is only two percentage points cheaper.
Besides, if you played GTA IV, why wouldn't you want to have Packie
on your crew?
>>The Hacker (Rickie Lukens)
**************************
Rickie is inexperienced and won't be able to keep the alarm
suppressed for very long. However, this should be enough to do what
you need to do given the other experienced members of the Crew to
compensate. He is easily the cheapest member and would be the
low-level part of the Balanced Crew.
After making your choices then you can go over and make sure this is what
you want. When you make your final selection then the mission is
successfully completed.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Time (8:00)
***********
Choosing the crew does *NOT* count towards this so take your time
there. When replaying this mission it will end when you get back to the
factory.
>>Picture Perfect
***************
You need to capture all three security features within one picture.
When you enter the store you should see the keycarded door to the left.
A vent and a camera should also be close to it. Get all three in the
same picture. It should be noted that you can get this Requirement even
if you got pictures of any of the other features elsewhere in the store
- just make sure you get one picture of all three.

Michael will call Franklin to tell him of the job. He will call him back
when he has things put together. Afterwards you will get a message from
Lester which starts the setup missions.....

When you arrive near the business you are told to steal and deliver a
Bugstars Van. There are three to choose from. There are also employees both
outside and inside the business. The best thing to do is to approach the
business from the backside which is the west side.
There is one guy with his back turned to you. Go into Stealth Mode, bring
out your Pistol, carefully sneak behind him, and pistolwhip him. Then
silently get into the van and quickly back out. From here, drive back to
the Garment Factory to successfully complete the mission.
Michael will call Lester about the van. Lester will tell you that you need
some gas for the job. The gas is made on the coast but a truck makes its
way to the city every now and then. This will put another marker on the
map which starts the second setup mission related to The Smart Approach.

Go to the moving marker on the road to start this mission. Get behind the

to fall out without incurring any problems from the driver. Using a
silenced weapon will help in this regard.
When the doors open and the gas falls out then grab it and lose the Wanted
Rating (which should be at 1-Star). After losing the Rating then head back
to the Garment Factory. After dropping off the gas inside the upper level
room then you will call Lester.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
Lester will text you to let you know about an LSPD Van that is carrying the
Carbine Rifles you need for the job. This will put the marker on the map.
You must intercept the Van before it can get to the Mission Row Police
Station or you will fail the mission.
While you are talking to Franklin and before Lester texts you drive to
Elgin Ave. and park close to the northeast exit ramp for the Olympic Fry.
This is where the Van will exit. It will take awhile for the Van to come to
you but sit tight.
When it gets close to your position then move the car across the exit ramp
to block it. When it gets real close then use your Micro SMG and kill all
four SWAT within the Van while you are still inside your car. After they
are dead then quickly switch vehicles and evade the 3-Star Wanted Rating.
Go under the freeway bridge and turn north into the hobo encampment to the
north. The irritating thing about this is that the tents are
indestructible. But get far enough inside to hopefully get out of sight.
If you do then sit still and maybe the Cops won't find you and the Rating
goes away. If the Cops end up finding you again then head to the Los Santos
River and go inside the tunnel at the north end to lose them. After losing
the Rating then go to the Garment Factory to successfully complete the
mission.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Swift Getaway
*************
You need to lose the Wanted Rating within two minutes. If you manage to
lose the Cops while inside the hobo encampment then this should be
enough to get this Requirement.
If you have to do this on a Mission Replay it is important to note that
you will start just behind the Van near Backlot City. However, it will
eventually pass by the the broken railing you used to drop down onto
the freeway during the Heist.
So speed ahead of the van and stop at the signal light near the
railing. Then ambush the Van the same way you did the first time. After
switching vehicles then drop down onto the freeway and drive into the
subway construction tunnel. You should lose the Rating very quickly.
As you are losing the Rating simply drive all the way to the other end
since that is the direction you need to go to reach the Garment
Factory.
After completion of these setup missions then you will automatically begin
the heist.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
>>The Smart Way
*************
Get in the car and drive to Vangelico's. When you get to the marker
then you will auto switch to Franklin and now you need to climb to the
roof. Head to the marker at the north side of the roof. When you climb
to the marker then you need to switch to the Gas Grenades in your
Weapon Wheel. Aim the marker just inside the large vent and throw two
of them. This will be enough to knock out everybody in the store.
>>The Loud Way
************
You will start the mission as Franklin. Get in the Van and drive it to
Vangelico's.
At this point you will auto switch back to Michael. Get into the Store and
get as much as you can. The better the hacker you chose, the longer you can
stay. Even if you picked Rickie you should be able to get a very good take
before the alarm goes off. Note that the amount must be in the green before
it can be considered successful. Your hacker should tell you when the alarm
will go off. Get out before it does.
**NOTE: If you chose The Loud Approach a person may leave the safe room and
enter the store area. How well this situation plays out will depend
on what gunman you chose.
Once you get outside then you will auto switch back to Franklin and now you
must follow the Crew on a motorcycle. At this point there will be a 4-Star
Wanted Rating and you will be shot at by the Cops. Following your Crew will
lead you to the subway construction tunnel. Continue following them and you
will exit into the flood control channel. Unfortunately, the Cops are
crawling all over the place.
You will then auto switch back to Michael and you now need to get rid of
the Cops chasing the Crew. Although you can shoot at them the best thing to
do is simply use the huge truck and ram the cars away from the Crew. This
is fairly easy to do and will allow you to get rid of them quickly.
As you head near the south end of the channel you will finally get rid of
the Police and you can go to the Rendezvous Point safely. After everybody
enters the van then your crew will get experience points. From here, head
to the Lockup to successfully complete the mission.

>>Quick Grab
**********
You need to steal the minimum amount of jewelry in under fifty seconds.
According to Sterling P. de Mille you start at the front left of the
store. Go clockwise around the store quickly from this point which
should put you near the entrance by the time you grab the last jewel
and in time.
>>Protege Protected
*****************
Protect Franklin during the LS River Chase. If you're quick in getting
rid of the Cops then this should be automatic.
>>Clean Sweep
***********
Steal the jewelry from all twenty glass cases. Even with Rickie as your
hacker you should be able to get this, especially with Stephen's tip.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
This will depend on how much you got from the Store minus the various cuts
for Madrazo and the Crew. In addition, you will get the {Diamond Hard}
Accomplishment. If you didn't already have the Carbine Rifle in your Weapon
Wheel and you did the Loud Approach then you should now have the weapon in
your possession.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
At this point you will auto switch back to Franklin who will be enjoying
himself at the Vanilla Unicorn. He has a conversation with Tanisha but she
doesn't believe that Franklin can change from what he currently is. After
the conversation you will get Lester's contact for your phone along with a
text message from Michael telling you to go to his house to celebrate and
get your cut of the take.
Both the Carbine Rifle and Tear Gas will now be available at all
Ammu-Nations.
A member of GTAForums, Jozzborne, wrote a short little guide on making
money using the stock market. One of the things he noted is that the stock
for Vangelico may change after this mission (VAG on LCN Exchange).
Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it won't. If it crashes it may or may not
recover.
Because of the randomness I don't recommend trying to do anything with
this. If you do want to try I recommend using some spare save slots so you
don't screw yourself over. Save in one slot after the mission and use the
others to save after crashing (and after investing all money in the VAG
stock) and one if it recovers (if it does so at all).
At this point there is only one marker at Michael's house so let's go
there.....

0=========0 0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0
Both Michael and Franklin celebrate their success. But an old FIB buddy,
Dave Norton, bursts in wondering what is going on with Michael. He is also
worried that Trevor may find out that Michael is alive and cause trouble.
Michael believes that Trevor is dead and that he himself had nothing to do
with the Heist.
But Dave turns on the television to show Michael a news report. The news
report is about the Heist and a security guard is being interviewed.
Michael turns off the TV.
But in another part of the state we see someone having sex with a woman
while listening to the report: Trevor. The guard tells the reporter
something that was said to him by the robbers and this triggers a memory
within Trevor. He angrily walks away from the woman who happens to be
Ashley Butler who we last saw in Liberty City. She is as much of a junkie
now as she was then.
As Trevor walks out of the trailer he encounters an angry Johnny Klebitz,
the main character of "The Lost and Damned". Johnny is upset that Trevor is
having sex with his girl. He also implies that he is a meth head just like
Ashley. After the two of them talk then Trevor viciously attacks Johnny by
stomping his head, killing him in the process. After the attack Trevor
decides to take down The Lost.....

| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Pistol.
--Micro SMG.
--Assault Rifle.
--Carbine Rifle.
--Pump Shotgun.
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Interestingly enough you can kill Ashley as she is grieving over Johnny.
The only way you can do that is to run her over - you can't shoot her
(bullets have no effect). This will also change Wade's dialogue. You can
also shoot Johnny's body and "kill" him.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, you need to get in the truck. If you check your Weapon Wheel
beforehand you will find that all you have is a Pistol with sixty five
rounds and a Pump Shotgun with sixty five rounds. You also have $108,654 to
spend. After you get in the truck then Trevor will instruct one of his
buddies, Wade, to find Michael. His other buddy, Ron, will be in the
passenger seat.
You will be instructed to go to Grapeseed. However, it may be best to go
around the state and find some free weapons (such as the SMG, Assault
Rifle, Carbine Rifle, Molotov, and Body Armor) then go to Ammu-Nation, buy
a Micro SMG, and load up on ammo and modifications. After that then head to
Grapeseed.
When you get there then you will encounter Johnny's friends Terry and Clay.
After the cutscene then you need to chase the gang. You have to keep
reasonably close to the van but use the Micro SMG to kill both Terry and
Clay. They both go down easily. Follow the van back to Stab City.
Here you will get in a firefight with The Lost. You will also be told about
Trevor's rage mode and how to fill it up. If you got some powerful weapons,
such as the Assault and Carbine Rifle, then this will become easier. Use
the trailers as cover as you attack and kill the bikers. When you kill
enough of them then the rest will flee on foot. You can choose to chase
them or let them go. After the battle then go back to the truck.
Go to the Riverside Trailer and deal with someone named Ortega. When you
get there then you need to ram the trailer into the river. After ramming
the trailer into the river then you will confront Ortega. You can let him
live or let him go. After dealing with him then get back to the truck and
go back to Ron's place. This will end the mission successfully.

| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>No Survivors
************
You need to kill all fleeing bikers. This is probably one of the
harder Requirements to get. Before tackling this one it may be best to
max your Shooting Skill and have lots of ammo for your Carbine Rifle.
Based on some research over at GTAForums what you need to do is to work
your way clockwise from your starting point around the edge of the
park. Do not attack anybody in the center.
Use the trailers as cover as you proceed around and kill everybody with
the Carbine Rifle. There will be a one in a truck that will stop near
the entrance and a couple on bikes. Keep going around the perimeter of
the park until you reach the north end. When you get there then stay
here and let the bikers come to you.
When you get down to the last four, and they should be near the center,
then they will flash blue and red and will make a run for it. These
are the ones you need to kill for the Requirement. Because they should
be close together then they should also be running in roughly the same
direction - south and out of the park. Run behind them and shoot
them in the back as they flee.
Even if they disappear from the radar they should still be alive so
continue to follow and kill them - even chasing them into the hills if
need be.
>>Headshots (12)
**************
>>Time (12:00)
************
If you went around and got some weapons on the initial play-through
then you will have to do this in a Mission Replay. With the advanced
weapons the gang battle becomes easier as you can kill them quicker and
just let the survivors flee.
>>Trailer Trashed
***************
You need to cause $5,000 worth of damage to Ortega's Trailer. Smashing
into it and pushing it into the water should be enough to get this
Requirement.
>>Lost and Damned
***************
You need to kill Terry and Clay during the chase. They go down easy
regardless of weapon used so this isn't hard to get.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
You will also open up the Tattoo Parlors. In addition, you will get a "C"
on your map indicating a Chinese contact as well as a "?" which indicates a
Stranger mission. You will also be notified about Off-Road Racing which
will open a marker in Raton Canyon. You will also see a property purchase
in Los Santos. This is a garage that Trevor can use and costs $30,000.
You also won't be allowed to switch to either Franklin or Michael for now.
And, if you go into Stab City as Trevor, any Lost that see you will
automatically become hostile to you. A little bit later you will open a "T"
marker at your Safehouse.
But, before we go further.....

0==========================================================================/
Trevor is also a former bank robber who worked with Michael. He is a loner
who now lives in Sandy Shores. Unlike Michael, Trevor lives in a beat up
mobile home. He runs a meth lab and is in competition from various gangs.
Trevor starts off with $108,654, a Pistol, and a Pump Shotgun. Of course, how
much money you have at this point depends on how much you spent during the
last mission. His personal vehicle is the Bohdi.
Trevor's Special Ability is to enter into Rage Mode while on foot. This makes
him much harder to kill and his weapons become more powerful. This will give
him an advantage in combat.

Just like with Michael you should go around and build up Trevor's Skills just

One of the other things that are opened at this point are the Off-Road Races.
The first one, Canyon Cliffs, is located at the west end of Raton Pass. There
are a total of six races with a variety of vehicles and there is no entry
fee. For each race won you will earn $500.
Each race is required for 100% Completion. By acquiring Gold in an any
Off-Road race you will also add towards the {Multi-Disciplined}
Accomplishment. Unlike with the Street Races each race will unlock after you
complete the previous one:
0==============0
| Canyon Cliffs \
0=========================================================>
This race is easy and even easier if you have maxed out your Driving Skill.
You will race on a quad bike and your rivals will be riding a mixture of
bikes and quad bikes. The race goes from one end of Raton Pass to the other
end.
You can easily knock off the other riders by smacking into them and get
into first place quickly. After that then drive quickly but conservatively
so you don't crash on the course. In addition to the money you win you will
also add the Moto X Outfit to your wardrobe.
0==========0
| Ridge Run \
0=========================================================>
This race is located in Great Chaparral and you race in an offroad vehicle.
You can't really knock these guys around too much but you can easily jostle
past them in the turns to get into first place easily. After getting into
first place then focus on the course so you don't end up off the road and
losing position.
0================0
| Mineward Spiral \
0=========================================================>
This race is located at Davis Quartz and can only be done between 20:00 and
3:00. This course has a lot of twists and turns but it isn't too hard. You
will be racing on a motobike so knocking off other riders isn't a
possibility.
But you can really turn into the corners and this will allow you to get
into first place quickly. Focus on the course after that and you should win
easily.
0=============0
| Valley Trail \
0=========================================================>
This race is located near the Calafia Bridge and runs from there to an
intersection close to the Great Ocean Highway. This race is a little
tougher to stay in first place because there are some straightaways that
will allow the other riders to keep up with you. But it still not hard to
stay in front since most of them tend to wreck behind you.
0================0
| Lakeside Splash \
0=========================================================>
This race is located in Sandy Shores and runs from there to Grapeseed. This
is another easy race as there is plenty of room to get by your rivals. Once
in first place then focus on the course until the end of the race.
0=============0
| Eco Friendly \
0=========================================================>
This course is located at Ron Alternatives Wind Farm. This is easily the
hardest of the races but not because of the course. It is because of your
vehicle. But how hard the race will be will be determined by the vehicle
you end up with.
If you are in the BF Injection then the race will be easier because it is a </pre><pre id="faqspan-13">
good handling car. If you end up in the other SUV type then the race will
be harder because it is a piece of shit - slow, handles poorly, spins out,
and rolls over easily.
It's hard enough to get a handle on the SUV let alone the course and your
rivals. This may take you a couple of tries as you get the hang of the car
long enough to finally win the race.
With that done, let's move on.....

The Lost went over to Trevor's house and smashed up his place. Considering
how much of a pig sty his house is this doesn't amount to a whole lot.
However, Trevor is upset that they smashed his Impotent Rage figure. Wade
walks in while Trevor is looking over his trashed house. Trevor once again
instructs him to find Michael. After chasing off Wade then Trevor needs to
go over to Ammu-Nation.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Assault Rifle.
--Carbine Rifle.
--Sniper Rifle (provided).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Get onto the ATV and Trevor tells Ron to check Sandy Shore Airfield. When
you get to Ammu-Nation then get the Sniper Rifle, which is free, and the
Suppressor and Advanced Scope for it, which is also free. You will,
however, have to purchase some ammo for it (I recommend about 250 rounds
just to be extra safe).
From here, head to the water tower where Ron is waiting. Climb up to the
top and wait. Ron will make his way to a point near the airfield. Bring
your sights on him to start things off. He will point out a biker that is
standing near the control tower. Kill him then shoot out the three nearby
lights as a Lost van approaches. Wait for the van to stop and the driver to
emerge before killing him.
Next you need to kill a guard on the top of the tower then one at the
bottom then another one at the top. After that then train your sights on
Ron again. He will lead you to another building. You will need to kill
another guard and his buddy that will emerge from the building. After that
then Ron will continue moving. Another guard will drive up on a bike. Kill
him before Ron is discovered.
Then a chopper will show up. Quickly move the scope up and shoot the pilot.
This will cause the aircraft to go down and you will go back to ground
level. Now you need to secure the airstrip from The Lost. If you maxed out
your Shooting and Strength Skill as well as use the Carbine Rifle this will
become easier.
Use cover and pick off all of The Lost guarding the airstrip. When you
clear them out then get in the Plane. Actually you get on the wing and Ron
will drive you to the next one. At this point more Lost will show up. Kill
them from the wing using the Assault Rifle (you cannot switch to another
weapon). Take advantage of the tanker and blow it up to kill several of the
bikers.
Some of them will come from behind and you will turn slow while on the
wing. Continue to kill the bikers until you arrive at the next plane. Take
off even though you have a biker hanging from the wing. After getting in
the air he will eventually fall off. Follow Ron along the canyon until you
get to the ocean.
From here, you need to follow Ron to a contact who is buying the guns you
are currently stealing. Avoid Fort Zancudo and drop the cargo in the
designated area. After that then race Ron back to McKenzie Airfield in
Grapeseed. Carefully land the plane and drive it into the hangar to
successfully complete the mission.

>>Headshots (5)
*************
>>Time (12:30)
************
You have to move fast between the start, Ammu-Nation, and the water
tower since there is little room for error afterwards. Killing The Lost
quickly during the gunbattle will also help.
>>Nervous Twitch
**************
You need to win the race against Ron. This is very easy to do and you
will probably get this during your initial play-through.
>>6 Bridges, 1 Plane
******************
You need to fly under any six bridges found along the flight path. This
is fairly easy to do since most of them are large and easy to fly
under. Put the landing gear down to slow down the plane and help keep
it under control when flying under them.
More than likely, if you followed the guide, then this should be the
first time you will fly under these bridges thus completing part of the
"Under the Bridge" activity.
Since you will gain Flying Skill by going under these bridges for the
first time then you should max out Trevor's Flying Skill by obtaining
this Requirement. Trevor's Flight Skill is pretty high to begin with so
you only needed to do a little bit to get it to its maximum.
>>Death on a Wing
***************
You need to kill all of the bikers while on the wing. You pretty much
need to kill all of them just to survive.

You will also open up some of the Businesses:

>>McKenzie Field (Trevor only) - $150,000.
>>Los Santos Customs (Grand Senora Desert) (Franklin only) - $349,000.
>>Hookie's - $600,000.
I will go over them later in the guide. You will also acquire the Sandy
Shores Airfield which will become your property. You will also get another
Stranger encounter marker but I will deal with that later. You will also
get another message from Los Santos Customs informing you of more car
modifications.
You will also get a message from Ammu-Nation informing you of the
availability of the Sniper Rifle. If you are thinking of going back and
purchasing the maximum amount of ammo for it you should consider whether or
not you want to do the Cletus Stranger encounter which are not required for
100% Completion.
After completing his second encounter, "Fair Game", you will lose all but
ten rounds of ammo for the Rifle. Considering that it costs $18,000 for
maxing it out that's a lot of money to lose. If you wish to do his
encounters then you should keep the ammo amount low until you finish.
But, before I go further.....

At this point the vast majority of Encounters will now open up. There is a
only a few more left but they will appear later on. Although these actually
open up after "Mr. Philips" it is best to do these after "Nervous Ron" so you
can free up your Safehouse to sleep if you need to make certain Encounters
appear.

>>Stag Do Running Man
*******************
Neighborhood: Zancudo River, on Route 68 just east of the Zancudo River
Ammu-Nation.
Map: (D-3).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: It is probably best to use a fast car for this one. You will
encounter a nearly naked man tied to a telephone post. The man
is going to be married and needs his suit and other stuff. Take
him to his home in Vinewood Hills. You have a five minute timer
to complete the Encounter.
When you get to his home then you have to switch cars and wait
for him to come back out. Next, drive him to Hookie's to pick up
the best man. Then head up to the Church in Paleto Bay to
successfully complete the Encounter.

Neighborhood: North Chumash, on the Great Ocean Highway near Hookie's.
Map: (C-2).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Chase down the target vehicle and kill the driver with your

After killing the driver and acquiring the vehicle then take it
back to its owner to successfully complete the Encounter.

***************
Neighborhood: Raton Canyon, just west of the railroad tracks. From the
Calafia Bridge, head south for a bit until you get to a
fork in the road. Take the left fork to get onto the road
where the Encounter occurs.
Map: (C-4).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will be approached from behind by a trio of rednecks who
think you are an immigrant. They will fire on you with Sawed-Off
Shotguns and are very accurate with them and will kill you
quickly if you don't take immediate action.
But, you will hear them before they will appear on your radar.
When you do then immediately get out of your vehicle and
activate your Special. Use your Assault Shotgun to put them down
before they can do any damage.

***************
Neighborhood: Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness, at a dead-end dirt
road on Bell's Pass just northeast of the bridge on Great
Ocean Highway that crosses Cassidy Creek.
Map: (C-3).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will encounter several red blips on the screen. Although
there is quite a bit of carnage there are survivors. Go to the
one on the lower area to find a suitcase. Grab it and go back to
your vehicle. After driving a short distance you will be
ambushed from behind by a couple of gunmen on bikes. Drive-by
them with the Micro SMG to put them down.

>>Burial
******
Neighborhood: Paleto Bay, near the east end of Procopio Promenade and
at the south side of the beach park at the northeast end
of the town.
Map: (A-4).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This should probably be done at night. Two thugs are trying to
bury a tied up woman. Keep some distance, get out of your
vehicle, and kill them both with the Carbine Rifle. (be careful
not to hit the woman or you will fail the Encounter).
After rescuing her then take her to Vinewood Hills. Along the
way you find out she is the daughter of a powerful mobster (and
drops some names that should be familiar to those who played GTA
IV). When you drop her off at her destination then the Encounter
is successfully completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: Shortly after the Encounter you will get a phone call from her
and you will be given $60,000. You could also take her to the
Cultists but, because of the large amount of money involved, it
is highly recommended that you rescue her instead.

>>Crash Rescue
************
Neighborhood: Mount Chiliad, on the Great Ocean Highway between the
Procopio Truck Stop and the Braddock Tunnel.
Map: (B-5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will encounter a crashed vehicle with a dead body nearby.
But you will also find a survivor alongside the road. You need
to take her to Sandy Shores.
Turns out she was part of a small crew that knocked over a pawn
shop but was ambushed by the Cops. Then her partner decided to
ambush her while they were fleeing the Cops - this caused the
crash. Take her to her friends in Sandy Shores to successfully
complete the Encounter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: You will add Taliana Martinez to the list of potential Crew
members for later Heists. I highly recommend that you do this
one as soon as possible since she is almost as good as Eddie
Toh and a hell of a lot cheaper.

*************
Neighborhood: Braddock Pass, at the end of a un-named dirt road that
runs parallel to the Great Ocean Highway north of the
intersection with Union Road.
Map: (B-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: As you approach the area you should be given the sign that you
can raid the place. As you get closer you will be warned by
those nearby. Use the Micro SMG from the safety of your vehicle
and kill all of the attackers (about five or six). Then enter
the building to get the money.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: A random value up to $100,000. Although the game says that you
can do this more than once this Encounter never re-occurs.

*******************
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert, on Smoke Tree Road along the south
edge of Sandy Shores Airfield.
Map: (D-5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This can be done only during nighttime hours. You will find an
abandoned car along the road. When you investigate you will be
ambushed by somebody with a Stun Gun. You will later wake up on
some train tracks clad only in your underwear.
When doing this as Trevor activate your Special as soon as you
leave your vehicle. This will keep the attacker from stunning
you. Then kill him any way you choose.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The Lost robs an unsuspecting person and drive away in a van.
Get up behind the van and use your Micro SMG to kill all of the
bikers. After you cause the van to stop then Lost reinforcements
arrive on bikes. Quickly kill them before leaving your vehicle
to retrieve the wallet.

Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert, on an un-named dirt road just west
of Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
Map: (E-5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will be flagged down by an escaped convict. When you stop
then he will try to jack your vehicle. Either drive-by him or
get out and pistolwhip him. Taking him down will successfully
complete the Encounter.

*******************
Neighborhood: Harmony, near the intersection of Route 68 and Senora Rd.
Map: (D-4).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: There will be a bunch of people in a gunfight, a couple of
thieves and several Police. If you leave things alone then the
Cops will kill the thieves although you can speed things up if
you kill them yourself.
Each thief will drop a briefcase containing $5,000. Grabbing
them may instigate a 2-Star Wanted Rating because the Police
want them for evidence. If you grab the briefcases fast enough
then you can avoid the Rating.
Killing the Cops will cause the thieves to flee and you will
also get a 3-Star Wanted Rating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: $10,000 if you decide to help the Police and grab the
briefcases before they do.

Notes: You need to take this rather frisky pair back to their motel

++Reward: $40. But I highly recommend taking them up to the Cult Compound
instead. More on that in the next sub-chapter.

Neighborhood: Grapeseed, by O'Neils Ranch just west of Senora Freeway.
Map: (C-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will see a Cop chasing down a criminal on foot. You can
choose to either help the criminal or the Cop. If you kill the
Cop then you will get a 3-Star Wanted Rating. If you shoot at
the criminal you will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating.
Best thing to do is to simply hit the criminal at a slow speed
to knock him down long enough to for the Cop to successfully
arrest him. Or you can run him over to kill him which works too.

Notes: You encounter this guy in a domestic dispute with his wife. She
is throwing his belongings at him from a balcony. She is upset
that he goes to the Golf Club at night and thinks that something
is going on. Take the guy to the Golf Club. When you get him to
the Club then the Encounter is successfully completed.

Notes: The Lost robs an unsuspecting person and drive away on a bike.
However, if you approach from the west quickly enough, then you
should be able to knock off both bikers before they can speed
off. Then drive-by them with the Micro SMG while they are still
on the ground. After killing them then leave your vehicle to

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Approach the woman in the alley unarmed and she will lead you to
another place nearby. When you get there then you will be
ambushed. Quickly pull out a weapon, preferably silenced, and
kill them both. You will more than likely get a 1-Star Wanted
Rating so quickly flee the scene. If you used a silenced weapon
then you may be able to avoid the Rating.

Notes: This works exactly like the first one. Chase the target vehicle
and kill the driver with your Pistol then deliver the car back
to its owner to successfully complete the Encounter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: 5% Driving Skill. In addition, the car's owner works for
Ponsonbys and will email you later in the game. She will give
you an expensive suit as a reward. Which suit you get depends
on which character you used to do the Encounter. In Trevor's
case that would be the Ash Suit.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
After the mission "Mr. Philips" go and check your emails. One of them will be
from Ron. He will tell you about this place in the hills where the people are
looking for lost souls to save. They apparently want to have them for dinner
although it appears that Ron has misunderstood what it actually means (the
Cultists are actually cannibals).
As noted earlier, when you do certain Encounters as Trevor you can take
people up to the Cult instead of their actual destination. You can get $1,000
per person you take up there. The first person you deliver to them will also
get you the {Altruist Acolyte} Accomplishment.
You can deliver up to four people up to them. When you deliver the last
person to them then they will turn on you and you will be involved in a major
shootout with them.
When the fight starts then use your Special and kill the others nearby with
your Carbine Rifle and Assault Shotgun. Then head to the large building to
your left and use it as cover as you kill off most of the others. Go on the
covered porch to get some Body Armor and continue to kill off the remaining
Cultists. Some of them are on higher ground.
After killing all of them off then go around the Compound. In addition to the
weapons, Health, and Armor that normally spawn there you will also find four
briefcases that contain $25,000 each (for a total of $100,000). They can be
found on the porches of the homes on the west side of the Compound. Killing
all of the Cultists will also cause them to disappear from the game which
will make it easier to go in and out of the Compound.
Listed below are the Encounters where you can take people up to the Compound,
whether or not you should deliver them to the Cult, and why (rewards are
based on money not Skill increase):
0=====================================================================0
| Getaway Driver | No | Unlocks Packie for Heists, $1,000 reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Snatched | Yes | No reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Escape Paparazzi | Yes | Very small reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|

|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Drunk Driver 1 | Yes | Very small reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Drunk Driver 2 | Yes | Very small reward, two victims |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Hitch Lift 2 | No | Unlock Ursula for Booty Calls |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Hitch Lift 3 | Yes | No reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Hitch Lift 4 | Yes | No reward |
|--------------------+-----+------------------------------------------|
| Domestic | No | Unlock Golfing partner |
0=====================================================================0
As you can see there are plenty of opportunities for victims. If you've
followed the guide then you should've done "Getaway Driver" already to get
the use of Packie for the Vangelico Heist.
It should also be pointed out that, according to EarlJensen, the Hitch Lift
Encounters don't unlock until after the mission "Friends Reunited". In
addition, if you deliver one of the hitchhikers from any of the Hitch Lifts,
then you might not be able to activate any of the other Hitch Lift
Encounters.
So, at this point in the game, this leaves about six Encounters, more than
enough to get the victims you need. My recommendations, in order, are
"Snatched" (or, if you don't want to fight The Lost, "Escape Paparazzi"),
"Drunk Driver 2", and "Drunk Driver 1".
With all of this done I will go to one of the Stranger encounters starting
with the one in southeast Grapeseed.....

| >GHF30. Special Bonds (Maude) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Maude is a bail bondsman and requires others to bring in those who have fled.
Doing bounty hunter work is *NOT* required for 100% Completion but doing one
and bringing the target back alive will get you the {Wanted: Alive or Alive}
Accomplishment.
Even though it is not required for Completion percentage you can earn up to
$10,000 per person you bring in alive. There are a total of four targets to
chase down and you can earn up to a total of $40,000. Not bad money. You
should use a car for these bounties as your targets won't go on bikes.
When you start a bounty you need to get away from Maude then she will email
you the whereabouts of the target. After the first target it usually takes
about twelve hours before you get the email for the next target. After
bringing in the target she will email you again with the next one. Listed
below are the four targets:
0================0
| Ralph Ostrowski \
0=========================================================>
He will be at the lowest part of Davis Quarry. As you approach him he will
go to his vehicle. As he is getting in then blow out the front tires with
your Micro SMG. This will stop the chase before it can begin. Once he gets
out then approach him. Lead him to your vehicle, let him get in, and drive
him to Maude to successfully complete the bounty.
0=============0
| Larry Tupper \
0=========================================================>
He will be hiding out at an abandoned barn in the Great Chaparral area. The
barn is near where you found Letter Scrap [LCY-LS22]. You should sneak up
the hillside from the east with a Sniper Rifle.
There are four people there including your target. Snipe the two inside the
truck to get things started. Your target will run and the remaining
survivor will attack. Ignore him and go after your bounty. Even if he gets
way ahead of you you will still have no problem catching up to him.
Either nail him with your Stun Gun or hit him to bring him down. Then take
him back to your vehicle and to Maude's to successfully complete the
bounty.
0===============0
| Glenn Scoville \
0=========================================================>
He will be hiding out at the top of Mount Chiliad. When you get to the top
of the mountain grab the Parachute found at the Cable Car building as you
will need it. Glenn will be at the south side of the top of the peak.
As you approach he will jump before you can get at him. Jump behind him and
open your Parachute. He will be far ahead of you but keep up. He will land
near the Alamo Sea. The next task is to land on him.
Aim yourself as you are coming down and you should land on him or, at the
very least, get close to him. Regardless, either nail him with the Stun Gun
or hit him just to be sure.
Once you have him then you need to procure a vehicle since either you left
yours at the top of the mountain or you took the Cable Car. You will need
to jack a car from the nearby road and take Glenn to Maude to successfully
complete the bounty.
0==============0
| Curtis Weaver \
0=========================================================>
He will be hiding at Dignity Village which is across the Great Ocean
Highway just southwest of the Procopio Truck Stop in north Mount Chiliad.
When you enter the encampment then get out of your vehicle and walk towards
the west end.
As you get close then he will appear on the radar and fire on you with a
Pistol. Rush him and he will start running. Get close to him and either hit

and take him to Maude to successfully complete your last bounty.
From here, head back to Sandy Shores and to the next Stranger contact.....

A little bit later on after this you should get a message from Cletus which
opens up his second, and last, encounter. However, I must point out that
you can't unlock that encounter unless you get a Gold Medal in this one
first.
During my PS3 play-through I had problems getting his second encounter to
unlock - it simply wouldn't regardless of what I did. At that time I hadn't
Gold Medaled this encounter. I replayed it and got the Gold. Shortly after
the Mission Replay his second encounter unlocked.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Follow Cletus and he will tell you what to hunt. In this case it would be
Satellite Dishes. Snipe the three of them and then head to the Hotel. Here
Cletus wants you to shoot the tires off of three passing vehicles. After
that then head to the roof and shoot three coyotes. They will be about six
in two groups. You can get at least two in a group before the last one
flees. After that then the encounter is completed successfully.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>2 for 1
********
You need to kill two coyotes with one shot. At least two of them
cluster together in each group making this relatively easy.
>>Pop! Pop!
*********
You need to shoot all three tires with an accuracy of at least 75%. The
best thing is to get the cars coming at you east or away west on Joshua
Road. It will make it easier to shoot the tires. Also shoot only the
tires on large trucks and SUVs. They are much larger than the tires on
the smaller cars and will make things easier still.
>>Bad Signal
**********
Shoot all three satellite dishes without missing. Considering the size
of the dishes it would be difficult not to get this.

Trevor meets Mr. Tao Cheng Jr. who appears to be pretty high on something.
This upsets Trevor and walks out. But Mr. Cheng's translator convinces him
to do business.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
First order of business is to go to the Meth Lab. Along the way Trevor
calls Chef, the meth cooker. Chef tells him that the Aztecas are coming
because they think Trevor took down their boss. So Trevor is needed to help
defend the operation.
When they get there Trevor puts the Chinese in "cold storage" while the
defend the kitchen. When Ortega's men arrive then you need to kill them.
Use the red propane tanks near the vehicles to destroy most of them
quickly. When one of them breaks through the gate then follow Chef outside.
Blow up the large gas tanker to kill most of them and use your Carbine
Rifle to finish off anybody left. Then follow Chef again to the other side
of the building. Here you need to deal with another group of Aztecas. Use
the red propane tanks and motorcycles to blow up most of them.
Chef will tell you he has a weapon for you - a Grenade Launcher. Use it to
blow up any survivors. Follow Chef again to the lower floor. Shoot up
anybody who comes through the front door.
Eventually you will meet Ortega again (even if you killed him in the
mission "Mr. Philips"). Kill him then all of the remaining survivors will
flee. Then Trevor will go and get the Chinese out of the ice box to
successfully complete the mission.

Now Cletus wants Trevor's help in hunting elk.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
Sniper Rifle (provided).
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
This encounter also contains a well known Wanted Rating exploit. After
Cletus leads you into the forest then sneak away and drive anywhere you
please. You can fully explore both Fort Zancudo and Los Santos
International Airport without any Police interference. You can use this to
acquire the otherwise hard to get Minigun for your Weapon Wheel and a
military jet, or helicopter, for the Sandy Shores Airfield hangar.
When you are doing the exploit you will notice that the engine noises of
your vehicles are greatly muted. There will also be very little or no
traffic on the roads. In addition, you can fail the mission by blowing up
something or running over people.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
As you walk, Cletus will give you some information on elk hunting. The main
thing is to stay downwind of it or it may catch your scent and run away
before you can do anything. You will now see a wind direction marker at the
lower right corner of the screen. You want the marker to be either pointing
towards you or away from the Elk.
Go into Stealth Mode and enter the red circle when the wind marker is where
you want it. Find the first Elk. It should be behind some rocks and bushes.
It's hard to see so wait for it to raise its head. Although you can shoot
it in the head it is better to get a body shot, specifically the area below
its neck. After killing the first Elk then follow Cletus.
He will tell you to use the Elk Whistle. Use it and another one will appear
nearby. You can see it easily even though you are out of the red circle.
Once again nail it with a body shot. After that then follow Cletus again.
Use the Elk Whistle again to bring a mating pair. Cletus only wants you to
kill the male Elk - he will have antlers. The problem is that there are
some large bushes and trees in the way so you will have to move to a point
west of them to get a good shot. After killing the male Elk then Cletus
will leave. But he will tell you to hunt another Elk and send a picture of
it.
After he leaves then use the Elk Whistle to find any nearby Elks. When one
appears then find it and kill it with a body shot. Approach the dead Elk,
bring out your phone, and use the camera function to take a picture of it.
Send the picture to Cletus and he will call you. This will end the
encounter successfully.
0===========0
| 100% Score \

You need to do this mission without being detected by any Elk. This is
fairly easy to get since the wind seems to be facing you most of the
time.
>>Heart Hunter

You need to kill three Elk with a heart shot. This is also pretty easy
to do if you go for the body shot each time.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
This will also end Cletus' encounters and you will get the Hunting Outfit
added to your wardrobe. As noted before, you will lose all but ten rounds
of Sniper Rifle ammo after this encounter. It is recommended that you go
back to Ammu-Nation to refill it, especially for the next mission at hand.
You will now open up the Hunting icon where you can hunt animals and make
some money. This activity is *NOT* required for 100% Completion so I won't
be covering it.
Now let's go to the next Stranger contact in Sandy Shores.....

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
This Stranger marker isn't really a encounter but the first of five Rampages
that can only be done by Trevor. The Rampages are *NOT* required for 100%
Completion but doing them all will earn you the {Red Mist} Accomplishment.
The other four Rampages will unlock later in the game.
During the cutscene Trevor takes a weapon, an Assault Rifle, from one of the
rednecks and proceeds to go nuts. This will start the Rampage.
The Rampages in GTA V work similar to those you did in GTA3 and Vice City.
You have a specific weapon with unlimited ammo that you use to kill your
targets. For this Rampage you use an unmodified Assault Rifle to kill
Rednecks. You also have the use of twenty five Grenades to blow up vehicles
and clusters of tagets.
You have two minutes to kill twenty five Rednecks. Overall this isn't too
hard to do. Even though you are in a kind of rage you can still use your
Special to inflict even more damage. Having your Shooting, Stamina, and
Strength Skills maxed will make this easier.
Killing the minimum required for the Rampage is pretty easy. But there are
also Gold Requirements to go after as well. In this case you need to kill 45
Rednecks, blow up two cars, and get three headshots. These are not too hard
to get but what makes this a little bit harder is unlike the Requirements in
the other missions you have to get all three Requirements at one time - you
can't just focus on one.
The best way to get Gold is to use Assisted Aiming which will help you lock
onto a target allowing you to kill him quickly so you can quickly move onto
the next one. This is pretty much the only way to get Gold, even if you don't
like Assisted Aiming.
To start, focus on getting to the kill Requirement as quickly as possible. As
you get near the number then focus on headshots and vehicle destruction.
Although this might sound crazy it is better to stay on open ground instead
of cover. This will give you a better chance of hitting more targets. For the
most part your targets will be using Pistols which won't do much damage.
When vehicles approach try to kill the people inside - this will give you</pre><pre id="faqspan-14">
some easy headshots. This will also keep them from running you over. They
won't do a whole lot of damage if they hit you but will slow you down as you
will need to get up off the ground.
Once you get the hang of this strategy this will make the other Rampages
easier as this will apply to all of them but with minor tweaks.
Getting one Gold in the Rampages will count towards the {Solid Gold, Baby!}
Accomplishment.
Now let's move on.....

When Trevor meets Mr. Cheng Jr. again he finds that they want to go a
different route. This upsets Trevor and threatens them to tell him who they
are working for. That turns out to be the O'Neil brothers. Now he needs to
deal with these competitors.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Sniper Rifle (silenced).
--Carbine Rifle (silenced).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to O'Neils Ranch. When you get to the marker then go to the
top of the hill. Use the Sniper Rifle and snipe those at the Ranch. Kill
them quickly before anybody is alarmed. If you alarm the guards then they
will head to your position which will make it much harder on you. They
carry a mixture of weapons and can kill you easily unless you get rid of
them quickly.
Take advantage of those standing one behind the other since the Sniper
Rifle can shoot through more than one target. In addition, there will be a
van parked in front. At one side of the house you will see a pair of
workers rolling some barrels around a corner. Then they, along with
another, will get in the van and drive off. Let them go as this will make
it easier to snipe the others without risking alarm.
After dealing with those outside then head to the ranch house. However,
don't go to the front door. Instead, go to the back door and sneak in
(assuming you didn't alarm anybody).
After sneaking inside then gently look right and shoot the first guy you
see in the head to put him down quietly. Head to the hallway and go left.
You should get to the kitchen but look to the right when you get to the
entranceway. You should see the back of someone. Snipe him then move left
quickly and snipe his partner before he can sound the alarm.
After that then turn left and look through the other kitchen entranceway.
You should see three guards sitting and watching TV. Snipe all three of
them quickly. You will probably alarm the remaining guards at this point
but all that would be left are three and they are near the stairs leading
down into the basement.
After killing them then go downstairs and kill the one person at the lab.
Now you have to use the Jerry Can and make a trail leading outside. Pour
the gas using the Fire Button and follow the yellow trail. When you get
outside and finish then use any firearm to ignite the gas. After you blow
up the ranch house then get away from it to successfully complete the
mission.

| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Headshots (10)
**************
This is actually tougher than it sounds. You can kill several of the
first group of guards with headshots but you will need to do it quietly
so you don't alert them otherwise it will be harder to get what you
need. If you can quietly get into the ranch house then it will be much
easier to get the remainder since they will be either standing or
sitting.

When Trevor arrives back at his home he finds Wade waiting for him. Wade
wasn't able to find Michael Townley but found a Michael De Santa with a
wife named Amanda. This was what Trevor wanted to know. He then gives Ron
control of Trevor Philips Enterprises and goes off to Los Santos.....

--Pistol (silenced).
--Sticky Bomb (provided).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, you need to go to the Trailer Park. Trevor needs to do something
else before leaving. It turns out that another chapter of The Lost has
arrived and Trevor needs to do something about it.
When you get there you need to plant Sticky Bombs on the trailers within
the park. You will also be given a Silenced Pistol, assuming you don't have
one already. Carefully sneak inside the park and go in a clockwise
direction.
As you reach the first trailer you will see red dots appear. These are the
bikers you need to either kill or avoid. Like the Cops they have vision
cones so you know where they are looking. It is best to avoid killing any
of the bikers because their bodies may be discovered. If you are found out
then you will be attacked and your task becomes harder.
After planting the first bomb then angle towards the nearest trailer inside
the loop. Stay near the north end of the trailer as there will be a couple
of bikers riding away. After planting the bomb then head back to the outer
edge and continue clockwise. Jump over the next fence and plant the next
bomb. There will be a couple of guards nearby but don't worry about them.
After planting the bomb then jump the fence at the outside edge and
continue clockwise. Plant the next bomb and head close to the entrance.
What you should do is approach the last trailer from the south since there
are a couple of guards nearby.
After planting all five Sticky Bombs then get a safe distance away and
detonate them before leaving the park. After that then return to Wade
despite the fact that you will now be attacked by The Lost.
From here, head to the marker in Los Santos. After the little cutscene then
return to your vehicle and drive to Wade's Cousin's Apartment. When you get
there then follow Wade upstairs to successfully complete the mission.

The Sticky Bomb will now become available at all Ammu-Nations. You will
also get a message from Ron about the Flight School at Los Santos
International Airport. In addition, there will also be many more Businesses
added to the map:
>>Towing Impound (Franklin only) - $150,000.
>>Downtown Cab Co. (Franklin only) - $200,000.
>>Smoke on the Water (Franklin only) - $204,000.

>>Ten Cent Theater (Michael only) - $20,000,000.
>>Tivoli Cinema (Michael only) - $30,000,000.
>>Los Santos Golf Club - $150,000,000.
I will go over the Businesses later in the guide. You can now buy a pier at
Puerta Del Sol for $75,000. These are used to store any boats that you want
to keep.
In addition, you can now switch between all three characters. If you've
followed the order of this guide then Trevor's Flight Skill should be maxed
out. Switching to Michael will automatically start his next mission so
switch to Franklin.
You'll get a call from Lester which will put your cut from the Vangelico
Heist in your account. Tonya will also call to inform you about the
availability of the Towing Business ($150,000). After all this then head to
the Airport.....

The Flight School is located just before the runway fence at the Airport.
There are twelve lessons that you need to get at least a Bronze in for one
character for 100% Completion. Acquiring a Gold Medal will count towards the
{Multi-Disciplined} Accomplishment. You can only do the lessons in order -
the next one won't unlock until you successfully pass the current one.
In addition, you will increase your Flying Skill as you complete the lessons.
The higher the medal, the greater the increase. This is by far the fastest
way to increase your Flying Skill.
0===========================================================================0
| ++Training Take Off | This is very easy to get Gold in. Pull back |
| ================= | on the Left Analog Stick just as soon as you |
| --Bronze: 60 seconds | get moving and retract your landing gear the |
| --Silver: 50 seconds | moment you get in the air. This will give you |
| --Gold: 32 seconds | the speed you need to get through the |
| | checkpoints quickly enough for the medal. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Runway Landing | To get Gold you need to quickly descend and |
| ============== | fly close to the ground before bringing down |
| --Bronze: 1:10 | your landing gear. Slow down enough to land |
| --Silver: 55 seconds | and stop in the last marker to successfully |
| --Gold: 35 seconds | complete this lesson. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Inverted Flight | To get Gold you need to perform the necessary |
| =============== | moves as quickly as possible. After going |
| --Bronze: 2:20 | through the first checkpoint then fly north |
| --Silver: 2:00 | over the water so you don't risk crashing |
| --Gold: 1:40 | when you do the multiple rolls. Pretty easy |
| | to get Gold in. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Knife Flight | To get Gold you need to perform the moves as |
| ============ | quickly as possible. After the first |
| --Bronze: 1:40 | checkpoint then fly out over the water. |
| --Silver: 1:15 | |
| --Gold: 54 seconds | This should be pretty easy considering the |
| | fact that this plane is a stunt plane that |
| | will allow you do certain moves better than |
| | other planes. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Flat Hatting | This is a low altitude course that takes you |
| ============ | over the Terminal area. The first third is |
| --Bronze: 3:00 | pretty easy. The middle third you will need |
| --Silver: 2:35 | to use your rudders to steer but this isn't |
| --Gold: 2:15 | too hard even at full speed. The last third |
| | is pretty easy. |
| | |
| | Getting Gold is fairly easy even going at |
| | full speed the whole way. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Touch Down | Now things get harder. You need to land on a |
| ========== | bridge and stop as close as you can to the |
| --Bronze: Finish | final marker. After going through the first |
| --Silver: 45 feet | marker then hold down the Brake Button until |
| --Gold: 10 feet | your engine stops and glide down to the |
| | bridge. |
| | |
| | Be careful of the traffic as you land. You |
| | need to touch down close enough to the marker |
| | so you don't stop too far. |
| | |
| | When you get to the final marker then use |
| | your Right Rudder to make the plane smack |
| | into the railing and get it to completely |
| | stop. This should be enough for the Gold. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Loop the Loop | To get Gold you need to do the moves as |
| ============= | quickly and smoothly as you can. After going |
| --Bronze: 2:05 | through the checkpoint then turn left and go |
| --Silver: 1:40 | over the water to avoid crashing. While level |
| --Gold: 1:35 | you should go up at a slight angle to give |
| | you more height for the next stunt. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Helicopter Course | This is a course that takes you through the |
| ================= | city and ends with a landing. To get Gold you |
| --Bronze: 3:45 | need to keep the Ascend Button down the whole |
| --Silver: 3:15 | time. You can still go down by using the |
| --Gold: 2:40 | Descend Button but you won't slow down. |
| | |
| | It will probably take a few tries as you get |
| | the hang of the course. There are some |
| | markers you can't go directly at or you will |
| | be forced to slow down. |
| | |
| | Those would be the first one into the city, |
| | the one before the one at the top of the |
| | building, and the one at the control tower. |
| | Swing wide before approaching them and get |
| | them at a better angle to maintain speed. |
| | |
| | How you deal with these three will determine |
| | how much time you save. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Helicopter Speed Run | This is another course that takes you through |
| ==================== | some of the city and ends with a landing but |
| --Bronze: 3:30 | the emphasis is on speed. The course isn't |
| --Silver: 3:00 | too hard but it will take you a few tries to |
| --Gold: 2:10 | get Gold as you learn the course and how to |
| | shave off time. |
| | |
| | It's a little tough to get Gold because the |
| | time is tight. Getting to the last marker |
| | before you land as quickly as possible will |
| | give you enough time to safely land the |
| | chopper. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Skydiving | You need to jump from a high altitude and |
| ========= | land on a stationary target. It may take a |
| --Bronze: 20 feet | few tries to get Gold as you learn the |
| --Silver: 10 feet | controls and make better landings, especially |
| --Gold: 3 feet | ones where you don't get killed. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Drop Zone | This time you need to jump and land on a |
| ========= | moving target. Once again, it may take you a |
| --Bronze: 20 feet | few tries to get Gold as you learn how to |
| --Silver: 7 feet | approach the target from behind and make |
| --Gold: 0 feet | better landings. |
|---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
| ++Earn Your Wings | This final lesson requires that you fly |
| =============== | through a course with a stunt plane. There |
| --Bronze: 3:40 | will be special markers that you need to |
| --Silver: 3:15 | either knife fly or fly upside down through. |
| --Gold: 2:50 | This makes the course reasonably tough. |
| | |
| | The good news is that the markers are |
| | forgiving so you don't need to be perfect, |
| | just get close enough to doing the stunt and |
| | touch the markers. It may take a few tries to |
| | get Gold as you learn the course and perform |
| | the necessary stunts without crashing. |

For this particular activity you need to fly under most of the many bridges
on the map. There are fifty that can be flown under but you only need to do
25 of them for 100% Completion. Doing all fifty of them, in conjunction with
the Knife Flights (explained next), will earn you the {Close Shave}
Accomplishment.
Although this, along with the Knife Flights, are open from the start of the
game it is best to wait until after opening up the Flight School and maxing
out your Flight Skill to make these tasks easier.
But, even if you don't do the Flight School, you can still increase your
Flight Skill quickly by flying under bridges regardless of character.
However, only the first time under will add to your Skill, just like with the
Stunt Jumps earlier. Flying under the same bridge multiple times will not add
Flying Skill.
The best aircraft for this is the Buzzard that can be found at the top of the
N.O.O.S.E. Building in the Palomino Highlands region (unless you snagged one
from Fort Zancudo using the Wanted Rating Exploit in the mission "Fair Game"
(Cletus) and stored it at the Sandy Shore Airfield).
Most of these bridges aren't difficult but there are some that can be real
tricky. For those bridges it is recommended that you go into first person
mode.
You can't hit the bridge or nearby walls or it won't count. You also need to
move quickly under them or it won't count either. You don't need to go real
fast but a moderate steady speed. Take it slow when approaching so you can
line yourself correctly over the water then gently tilt your aircraft forward
so you can make a smooth run under the bridge.

[BLC-B1] - Location: Great Ocean Highway over Lago Zancudo.
Neighborhood: Lago Zancudo.
Map: (E-2).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a low bridge so gently fly over the water and speed
under.
[BLC-B2] - Location: A curved bridge on Route 68 just southwest of Fort
Zancudo Approach Rd.
Neighborhood: Lago Zancudo.
Map: (E-3).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Approach from the south and use first person view.
[BLC-B3] - Location: A wooden covered bridge east of [BLC-B2] and north of
the intersection of Zancudo Grande Valley and Route 68.
Neighborhood: Zancudo River.
Map: (D-4).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Another low and narrow bridge. Use first person view here.
[BLC-B4] - Location: Route 68 bridge over a dirt road southeast of [BLC-B3].
Neighborhood: Zancudo River.
Map: (D-4).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Again another low and narrow bridge that requires the use
of first person view.
[BLC-B5] and
[BLC-B6] - Location: Road and railroad bridges at the southwest corner of the
Alamo Sea.
Neighborhood: Zancudo River.
Map: (D-4).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The first bridge is fairly low but the next bridge is even
lower. Approach from the southwest and get real low to the
water as you go under the first bridge which will prepare
you for the next. First person view is required here.
There is no error at all for the second bridge. You'll be
flying inches off of the water as you go under. This is
probably one of the toughest bridges to fly under.
[BLC-B7] - Location: The Fort Zancudo Approach Rd. bridge.
Neighborhood: Fort Zancudo.
Map: (E-3).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Another low bridge. Using first person view is recommended.
[BLC-B8] - Location: Great Ocean Highway over Cassidy Creek.
Neighborhood: Raton Canyon.
Map: (C-3).
[BLC-B9] - Location: Large railroad bridge over Cassidy Creek.
Neighborhood: Cassidy Creek.
Map: (C-4).
[BLC-B10] - Location: Wooden bridge just southeast of the Cult Compound.
Neighborhood: Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.
Map: (C-3).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Approach this one from the north. Gently drop down to just
under the bridge height then speed straight under.
[BLC-B11] - Location: The railroad bridge over Great Ocean Highway.
Neighborhood: Mount Chiliad.
Map: (B-5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Approach this one fron the north, gently drop down into
the southbound lanes, then speed under the bridge.
[BLC-B12] - Location: The Calafia Bridge at the northwest corner of the Alamo
Sea.
Neighborhood: Calafia Bridge.
Map: (C-4).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to gently fly low over the water and quickly
speed under the bridge.
[BLC-B13] - Location: Route 68 bridge over Senora Freeway.
Neighborhood: Grand Senora Desert.
Map: (D-6).
[BLC-B14] - Location: Great Ocean Highway over Grapeseed Avenue.
Neighborhood: San Chianski Mountain Range.
Map: (C-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a tough one. This bridge is low and the pillars
make it narrow. There is no room for error here. You need
to go into first person view to do this and approach this
from the southwest. You need to fly just a couple of feet
above the ground and gently, but quickly, fly under the
bridge.
[BLC-B15] - Location: Railroad bridge over Grapeseed Avenue.
Neighborhood: San Chianski Mountain Range.
Map: (C-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is directly ahead of you after completing [BLC-B14].
Just continue forward and fly under this one. Much easier
than the last one.

[LCY-B18] - Location: The railroad bridge over Senora Way that is between
Davis Quartz and the Palmer-Taylor Power Station.
Neighborhood: Ron Alternatives Wind Farm.
Map: (E-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This bridge sits kind of low so first person view is
recommended.
[LCY-B19] - Location: A rock arch south of Palmer-Taylor Power Station.
Neighborhood: Pacific Ocean.
Map: (F-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Look on your in-game map. To the east of the Tataviam
Mountains Ammu-Nation is the railroad tracks. Northeast of
this Ammu-Nation is where the track splits. Directly
northeast of the split is a small peninsula which is the
south half of a rock arch.
This arch is very small so first person view is required
for success. Almost as bad as [BLC-B6].
[LCY-B20] and
[LCY-B21] - Location: Railroad and freeway bridge at the south end of Senora
Way.
Neighborhood: Tataviam Mountains.
Map: (F-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Not as bad as [BLC-B5, B6] so you can skip using first
person view if you want.
[LCY-B22] - Location: Railroad bridge just west of N.O.O.S.E. Headquarters.
Neighborhood: Tataviam Mountains.
Map: (G-6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You need to approach this from the southeast because of
the freeway bridge which is close to the railroad bridge.
You will also need to fly under the freeway bridge
afterwards before you can leave the area. First person
view is highly recommended for this one.
[LCY-B23] - Location: Railroad bridge over Palomino Freeway southwest of

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: These are two very tough bridges. Although wider than
[BLC-B6] these bridges appear to sit even lower. First
person view is required. Although I list these bridges
together you can do them one at a time if you want.
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
**NOTE: These next four bridges are close together and can be done all at
once. Approach from the northwest and use first person view.

0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
**NOTE: These next ten bridges are over the Los Santos River and can easily
be done in one straight run. Use first person view which will be
handy for the first two. Approach this group from the north. The
reason is that the first two are the toughest of this group and it
is best to get them out of the way quickly.
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
[LSO-B38] - Location: Mirror Park Blvd. bridge.
Neighborhood: East Vinewood.
Map: (E-3).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a bridge that has some narrow channels so you will
need to use first person view to navigate. Use the center
channel. This will also help you to line yourself up with
the next bridge.
[LSO-B39] - Location: Bridge St. bridge.
Neighborhood: Mirror Park.
Map: (E-3).

getting through this one quickly.
[LSO-B40] - Location: Hawick Avenue bridge.

| >GHF34. Knife Flights |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The next activity is the Knife Flights. For this you need to fly a plane
sideways between certain tall buildings, all in Los Santos. Doing the Knife
Flights at the Flight School should give you an idea on what to do here.
Although some people prefer to use a jet it is best to use a much slower
plane to better make adjustments while flying through gaps. There are three
planes you can use for this task:
0===========================================================================0
| Mammatus | These planes tend to land at Sandy Shores Airfield. When one |
| | lands then you can grab it and use it for yourself. |
| | Unfortunately, this is not a good plane to use for the Knife |
| | Flights and should only be used on the easy ones where you can |
| | fly high off the ground or building. |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Duster | This bi-plane is used around the McKenzie Airfield in |
| | Grapeseed. This is a much better plane than the Mammatus but |
| | is still a little hard to use with the trickier Knife Flights. |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Mallard | This plane is only available from the website |
| | www.elitastravel.com. If you collected enough Hidden Packages |
| | then you should have enough to purchase the plane ($250,000). |
| | It is by far the best plane to use since it is a stunt plane |
| | and perfectly suited for this activity. |
| | |
| | Of course, you will need a hangar to store it in before you |
| | can purchase it so this is best suited for Trevor at this |
| | point in the game since he already has one. |
0===========================================================================0
When flying around in either of these plane then practice rolling around with
it for awhile before attempting any Knife Flights.
One handy tip: before grabbing a plane you may want to drive around and find
the Knife Flight buildings first. Then mark them on your map using the Points
of Interest markers. You only have ten markers though so you need to be
judicious in using them.
Just before you approach a Knife Flight do a Quick Save. That way if
something goes wrong then you can reload and try again.
There are a total of fifteen Knife Flights but you only need to do eight for
100% Completion. However, doing all fifteen plus all fifty Under the Bridges
will earn you the {Close Shave} Accomplishment. Most of the Knife Flights are
pretty easy but there will be a small number that may give you problems.

[KF-1] - Location: The Von Crastenburg Hotel towers located along Playa
Vista.
Neighborhood: Pacific Bluffs.
Map: (A-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Can be approached from either direction.
[KF-2] - Location: Between the Lombank Building and the Crastenburg Hotel at
the west end of Boulevard Del Perro.
- AND -
[KF-3] - Location: Between the Bluff Tower Office Complex and an un-named
office building directly south, and on the same block, as
[KF-2].
Neighborhood: Del Perro.
Map: (B-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Because of how these buildings are clustered you will have to
do both at once. Follow along W. Eclipse Blvd. and approach
from the north. The first gap is narrow and there is a large
building before it (The Banner Hotel) that will be to your
right you will need to avoid or you may crash into it before
you get to the gap.
Roll to the left before you get to The Banner Hotel and pull
up on the stick after making the first gap so you can make
the second.
[KF-4] - Location: Between a large parking garage and a fancy apartment
building at the west end of The Archipelago just east of
the intersection of Morningwood Blvd. and Marathon Ave.
north of Backlot City.
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills.
Map: (B-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is one of the toughest gaps to fly through. The
buildings are low and you have Backlot City to the south and
a large building to the north that makes any approach
difficult. After multiple failures going from the south I
found success going from the north.
Angle down over the large building then quickly level out
before the gap. Quickly roll and fly through the gap then
immediately level off and fly over the movie studio the
moment the game registers success.
Reader Sterling P. de Mille had his own suggestion for doing
this:
"Approach along the road slightly to the north west of the
location over the building adjacent to the one mentioned
in your guide. It is slightly lower and easier to adjust
when going for the knife flight. You just have to get into
knife flight position immediately after going over the
building ahead of it and then press gently on the
thumbstick to turn through the knife flight all while on
your side."
[KF-5] - Location: Between the Richards Majestic Building and the Weazel
Plaza Building at the intersection of Heritage Way and
Movie Star Way.
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills.
Map: (B-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Can be approached from either direction (west or east).
[KF-6] - Location: Between the Schlongsberg Sachs Building and the tall
un-named building, with the tall construction crane, south
of it across W. Eclipse Blvd. near the intersection with
Rockford Dr.
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills.
Map: (C-2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Best to approach this one from the west.
[KF-7] - Location: Between the Schlongsberg Sachs Building and the tall
un-named building north of it across S. Mo Milton Dr. near
the intersection with W. Eclipse Blvd.
Neighborhood: Rockford Hills.
Map: (C-2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Best to approach this one from the east.
[KF-8] - Location: The twin Lombank Buildings located at the northwest corner
of San Andreas Ave. and Palomino Ave.
Neighborhood: Little Seoul.
Map: (C-4).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Best to approach this one from the south.
[KF-9] - Location: Between the Whirlgig Theater and Vinewood Video Building
across the street south of the Movie Theater.
Neighborhood: Downtown Vinewood.
Map: (D-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The buildings are short but this is not too hard if you
approach from the north. After you fly over the Theater then
immediately roll.
[KF-10] - Location: The gap between the Vinewood Gardens Hotel and an
un-named building at the northeast corner of Power St.
and Spanish Avenue.
Neighborhood: Hawick.
Map: (D-3).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a difficult gap because part of it is very narrow.
The south part of this is the narrow part so approach it
from the south. You don't have to get the whole plane in the
narrow part - part of the wing will do. And you can barely
clip the building and still get credit.
[KF-11] - Location: Between the IAA Building and the FIB Building at the
southeast corner of Power St. and Swiss St. in Pillbox
Hill.
Neighborhood: Pillbox Hill.
Map: (D-4).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Can be done either going east or west but it may be best to
go through at a southwest direction so you can also do the
next two Knife Flights in quick succession.
[KF-12] - Location: Between the Schlongberg Sachs and the Go Postal Building
at the northeast corner of Peaceful St. and Vespucci
Blvd. in Pillbox Hill.
- AND -
[KF-13] - Location: Between the LS Quik Building and the Slaughter,
Slaughter, and Slaughter Building (and over a
red-and-white parking garage) at the southwest corner of
Peaceful St. and San Andreas Ave.
Neighborhood: Pillbox Hill.
Map: (D-4).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: These two are relatively close together and can be done at
once if you approach from the northeast. However, if you do
[KF-9] going at a southwest direction, then you can do all
three in one run. After doing [KF-11] then fly past the
large Maze Bank Building and approach [KF-12].
[KF-14] - Location: Between the LS Quik Building and the Go Postal Building
at the intersection of Peaceful St. and Vespucci Blvd.
- AND -
[KF-15] - Location: Between the Slaughter, Slaughter, and Slaughter Building
and Schlongberg Sachs Building at the intersection of
Peaceful St. and San Andreas Blvd.
Neighborhood: Pillbox Hill.
Map: (C-4).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: These next two gaps involve some of the same buildings used
in the last two. However, you are simply flying along
Peaceful St. and can do both at once. This is best
approached from the south.

lose so stop.
Wait for him to leave his vehicle then speed off again. You will
lose him very quickly. When you lose him then continue to her

Map: (E-5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This Encounter cannot be done with Trevor.
Here you will find an escaped prisoner. Pick him up and drive
away. Shortly after you will get a 1-Star Wanted Rating. Lose it
by going off-road. After that then continue to your destination
which is The Lost Clubhouse by the Vinewood Racetrack. When you
get there then the Encounter is successfully completed.

Notes: This Encounter cannot be done by Trevor.
You will encounter two rogue Altruists harassing a woman. Stay
in your vehicle and drive-by them with the Micro SMG (being
careful not to hit the victim). After they are dead then take
the victim to her home to successfully complete the Encounter.

Neighborhood: Banham Canyon, at the intersection of the north end of
Ineseno Road and Great Ocean Highway.
Map: (F-2).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Take the gentleman to Los Santos International Airport. You have
two and a half minutes to get there. With a fast car you should
be able to do this easy. When you get there then the Encounter
is successfully completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++Reward: $100. You will also get a tip to invest in Tinkle. Tinkle is
part of the BAWSAQ Exchange. The BAWSAQ Exchange can only be
accessed by going onto Xbox Live or PlayStation Network. If
you're an offline player then this is tip is useless.
If you do have internet access and want to make lots of money
then you may want to save this Encounter until after the Finale
so you can properly use his tip.
After doing these then switch back to Trevor and head to the skull icon on
your map.....

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At this point the remaining Rampages become available. One will open up after
successful completion of the previous one:
>>Rancho (30 Mexican Gang Members)
********************************
Time: Two minutes.
Weapon: Micro SMG.
Gold Requirement: 45 kills, 6 headshots, 2 vehicles destroyed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: They will also spawn on rooftops and throw down Molotovs from
time to time so kill them quickly. If you are hit by a Molotov
this will slow you down as you roll on the ground aflame. One
annoyance is that the submachine gun has a small magazine so you
will be reloading often which will also slow you down.
>>Chamberlain Hills (30 Ballas)
*****************************
Time: Two minutes.
Weapon: Assault Rifle.
Gold Requirement: 50 kills, 6 headshots, 2 vehicles destroyed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: When the Rampage starts then head into the alley. The alley will
funnel most of the Ballas inside which will make for easy kills.
This will also make it easy to get headshots when vehicles
approach because they will head in a straight line towards you.
On occasion a Balla will appear with an RPG so gun him down
quickly before he can do any damage.
>>Great Chaparral (35 Soldiers)
*****************************
Time: Three minutes.
Weapons: Assault Rifle and Grenade Launcher.
Gold Requirement: 45 kills, 6 headshots, 2 tanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: It's pretty easy to get the kills since you can blow up the
vehicles as they approach. But stay out of the road or you may
get run over frequently.
Keep an eye open for the tanks. When one appears then focus your
attention on it and use the Launcher to fire a few rounds to
blow it up. Keep moving as you do so it can't get a bead on you
otherwise you risk instant death.
Keep blowing up vehicles to get your kills until you blow up the
second tank. After that then let the Soldiers come to you and
focus on headshots until the timer runs out.
>>Mirror Park (20 Hipsters)
*************************
Time: Two minutes.
Weapon: Sawn-Off Shotgun.
Gold Requirement: 30 kills, 10 headshots, 2 vehicles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is fairly easy in that the Shotgun has a wide spread which
allows you to take down multiple targets. You need to focus a
little more on headshots since that Requirement is higher than
in previous Rampages.
After completing the last Rampage then you should have the {Red Mist}
Accomplishment. Now let's go to the Stranger contact in Vinewood Hills.....

Trevor encounters an eccentric British couple who think that he is Jack
Cranley, an '80s action star. They tell him that they are collecting items
thrown away by famous people. This will start a series of small encounters
where you collect items for them. These are *NOT* required for 100%
Completion but you can get some easy Gold Medals for the {Solid Gold, Baby!}
Accomplishment.
After they leave then you will get Nigel's contact for your phone. Shortly
afterwards you will get an email from him outlining what you need to collect
for them. This will put an orange circle on your map.....

You need to get into Tyler's compound and steal his Clothes. Go to the south
driveway gate and jump over the fence to the left of the gate. Bring out a
weapon, sneak over to the Gardener nearby, and pistolwhip him. Then go around
the south end of the house.
Here you will see Tyler with a girl, Poppi. She will be in the hottub and he
will be in the main pool doing laps. Wait for him to start going from the
south end of the pool to the north end before sneaking north towards the
Clothes. He will stand there and talk to himself just long enough for you to
get the Clothes and sneak back to the corner.
If you are detected then grab the Clothes and run away. However, you will
incur a 2-Star Wanted Rating that you will need to get rid of. Once you get
rid of the Rating or successfully sneak back over the wall and run away far
enough then the encounter will be completed successfully.

off. Get into Nigel's car and chase him. He doesn't drive too fast so he is
easy to follow. Near the end of the chase he will go through a hospital.
Carefully follow him through the building and out the window. When you land
then you will start a cutscene that successfully ends the encounter.

Al is being a fussy guest and Nigel needs to do something about him. He wants
Trevor to get rid of him. Al is currently locked in the trunk of a car. Take
the car and drive to the marker at the train tracks near the Palmer-Taylor
Power Station. Along the way Al will plead for his life. This will give you
the option to let him go.
However, the Gold Medal Requirements require that you kill him. When you get

Michael and Trevor interrupt the proceedings and Lazlow runs off. Trevor
and Michael chase him out of the building. You will also auto switch to
Trevor for this part of the mission.
He will take off in a car and the both of you grab a big rig. Follow him

You will open up two new Properties - Vespucci Helipad ($419,850) and the

purchased by Michael and Franklin and are used to store various aircraft
you acquire. Purchasing the Hangar will also allow the owner, and only the
owner, to freely explore the tarmac without generating Wanted Ratings.
You will also open a "B" marker near the Galileo Observatory which is for
the F.I.B. If you switch to Franklin he will also get a contact from Lester
which opens up his Assassination Missions but that will be done a little
later in the game. You can now send Michael to Flight School if you want to
(and probably should).
But there is something else you can do first before returning to the
story.....

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At this point of the game, now that Trevor is unlocked, it is time to do some
Friend Activities. You can do activities with all three characters together
even though they haven't all met officially yet. You can also do activities
with side characters such as Lamar and Jimmy.
It is important to note that your friend may not be able to do any activities
at the time of the call and may have to either wait later or go with another
friend. Once you make arrangements to meet your friend you can call him back
and cancel if you need to. Drive to the meeting place to pick him up.
While there are a large number of activities you can do together there are
only four you need to do for 100% Completion:
--Darts
--Movie
--Strip Club
--Bar
For these four it may be best to do them with just two characters, preferably
Michael and Trevor. After the first activity you have the option to drop off
your friend. However, you can do all of these activities in one run and get
them over with.
For the Movie let it run completely just to be safe. For the Strip Club just
hang around for awhile and throw some money at the strippers for a bit. Just
walk out of the club to get your friend to follow you. For the Bar you'll
automatically walk in and you'll stagger out of the bar drunk.
Although you can do some of the activities earlier in the game it is best to
wait until after you unlock Trevor since that is when Darts is opened up.
Speaking of which.....

0+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There is only one place to play Darts in the entirety of the state and that
is the Yellow Jack Inn at the Grand Senora Desert. The rules of this are
almost exactly like that of the same game within GTA IV. You can choose to
play a number of Legs (single game) and Sets (a sequence of Legs).
Your goal in Darts is to get to zero. You start with 301 points and you must
get to zero before your opponent. You have three darts to use to score your
points. The dart board is broken up into many zones. The outer thin ring is
the double zone where you score double points. The inner thin ring is the
triple zone where you score triple points. The other zones are single score.
The inner bulls-eye will score you 50 points and the outer bulls-eye will
score you 25 points. To win the game you must hit zero with your dart landing
on a double zone or in the center bulls-eye.
When you take your turn you will find that your aiming cursor is wobbly and
constantly moving around. You have to be patient when aiming. After you throw
your three darts then it will be your opponents turn.
With these activities out of the way there is something else you can do
together.....

Now it's time to go after another Accomplishment, {Three Man Army}. Although
www.xboxachievements.com says it can be done after "Mr. Philips" or "Friends
Reunited" I found that the earliest I could do it is right after "Fame or
Shame" because Michael's phone has both Franklin's and Trevor's contacts.
Before doing anything you should save your game then get a four door vehicle
and have it outfitted with armor and bulletproof tires. Call up one friend
and call the other before you pick up the first one. Hopefully both are
available at the same time. After picking them both up then head to Los
Santos International Airport.
Go onto the tarmac to initiate the automatic 3-Star Wanted Rating. Then drive
laps around the runways while keeping the Cops close to your car. Do this for
three minutes and the Accomplishment is yours. Then reload your saved game to
easily get rid of the Wanted Rating and get your money back for car
modifications.
Now switch to Franklin and go to his Stranger encounter which was also opened
up after "Fame or Shame".....

Out in the middle of the desert Franklin encounters a weird individual. He is
Omega and he is convinced that he was contacted by aliens but their ship
crashed before he could be abducted. He shows Franklin a part of their
spaceship and wants all of the Parts.
At this point you open up another group of collectibles. Collecting all fifty
of the Parts is required for 100% Completion and you will also get the {From
Beyond the Stars} Accomplishment. When you get near a Part you should hear a
humming sound. Acquiring all of the Parts will also open up another mission
with Omega. Everybody can collect the Parts but only Franklin can deal with
Omega.

own when you purchase the property). The Part can be
found behind this hangar.
It is best to approach this from the beach area to
the south. There is a gate just west of the Part.
However, you will still get the 3-Star Wanted Rating

to find the Part.
[LSO-SP50] - Location: In the water near the west side of the Terminal area.
Neighborhood: Elysian Island.
Map: (D-7).
Directions: You should go and get the black Dinghy at the west
end of the Elysian Island area for the scuba gear.
Drive the boat to the southwest corner of the
Terminal area. Then dive in the water and swim
towards the pier to the west.
Near the pier you should find a ruined metal
construct. The Part is within this construct.
After acquiring all of the Parts you should get a message from Omega telling
you to go to his base in Ron Alternatives Wind Farm. This starts a cutscene
called "The Final Frontier". He shows you what he has done then leaves. At
this point you will get the {From Beyond the Stars} Accomplishment and the
use of the Space Docker vehicle.
Now switch over to Michael and head over to the Galileo Observatory.....

The F.I.B. is the agency that Dave works for. Many years ago Michael and Dave

Michael meets Dave at the Observatory. Trevor's re-appearance has
complicated things. It has endangered Dave's career and needs Michael's
help to ensure that it stays intact for both their sakes. Dave needs
Michael to take a picture of a supposedly dead body. Michael questions how
he is going to get inside. Dave solves the problem by knocking out
Michael......

0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You wake up in a body bag. After it is opened up then wake up to surprise
the interns. This will also attract agents. After changing clothes then
sneak up and knock him out. Notice that you don't have any weapons on you
at this point. Grab his Combat Pistol and proceed.
Check out the bodies. One of them will have the tag of your target but it
is on the incorrect body. You will automatically call Dave and he will tell
you to get upstairs. As you make your way there you will be attacked by
multiple agents using a variety of firearms including Shotguns. Kill them
and take their weapons. You can find some Health on the reception desk if
you need it.
As you get near the stairs you will be attacked by another agent. As you
get near the stairs then Dave will tell you that your weapons on the top
floor. As you climb up the stairs you will be attacked by some more agents.
When you reach the top floor you will need to fight off multiple agents,
including some that will come in from the stairwell, before you can reach
your weapons. After reclaiming your weapons then escape through the window.
After escaping then you will need to lose the Police as you now have a
3-Star Wanted Rating. Go to the train tunnel loop at Carson Ave. and Brouge
Ave. southeast of your position. This will allow you to easily lose the
Rating.
After losing the Rating then meet Franklin at the Murrieta Oil Fields. You
will also call Dave and he will tell you that you need to meet his boss
Downtown. When you meet with Franklin then the mission is completed
successfully.

Kill the agents quickly then use the train tunnel loop as outlined to
quickly lose the Rating and quickly speed to Franklin.
>>Focused Killer

You need to kill four enemies using Michael's Special Ability. The
lower floor area is the best place to get this. Use it the moment the
game prompts you to and go up the hallway killing agents as you go. If
you maxed out your Special earlier then you should have more than
enough to kill several agents before it runs out.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to the plaza then find Dave. Here you get to meet his boss,
Steve Haines. After what has happened at the morgue the I.A.A. has stepped
up interrogation of Mr. K, who was your target in the previous mission, and
wants him found before he talks. After the cutscene then walk with Dave to
his car.
From here, drive to the Meeting Point at the Oil Fields. Along the way
you're forced to call in Franklin and you also find out the Trevor has been
pulled in to do a job involving extracting Mr. K. When you get there then
you start a cutscene with all three of them together for the first time.
After the cutscene then you will auto switch to Trevor and you need to fly
to the Agency Headquarters. When you get to that point then you auto switch
to Michael and you need to rappel down to where you need to go. You need to
go down without being seen. Doing long jumps will help here.
When you get to the right place then use the cinematic camera to see what
is going on inside. After awhile then you will be prompted to smash the
window. At this point you need to quickly switch to Franklin who is across
the way with a Sniper Rifle. After shooting several of the agents then you
will be prompted to switch back to Michael.
When you get back then you need to quickly kill all of the agents before
you can leave. Then you will auto switch back to Franklin who now needs to
shoot down the Choppers. One will approach you and try to kill you. Shoot
the pilot to bring it down quickly. From here, you can switch to either
Trevor or Michael.
Don't try to shoot down any more choppers. Just switch to Trevor and let
Michael shoot down the choppers as you fly back to the Oil Fields. As you
fly there Michael should be shooting down the other choppers.
If things go right then he should shoot down the last chopper just before
you get there. If not, just hover above the depot until the last one is
downed. After Michael shoots down the last chopper then land the chopper at
the depot to successfully complete the mission.

| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Time (7:30)
***********
Timing is pretty tight with this one. The biggest key is to switch to
Trevor after you shoot down the chopper as Franklin. Michael can shoot
down the other choppers on his own easier and faster when you control
Trevor.
>>Accuracy (60%)
**************
Switching to Trevor when flying out helps here because you aren't doing
any shooting on the way back to the Oil Fields.
>>Headshots (10)

With the Heavy Sniper as Franklin you should be able to get most of
this then get the rest when you switch back to Michael.

In addition, you will get Steve as a contact on your phone and the AP

This will also open multiple markers for both Trevor and Franklin. But,
shortly after the mission, you will get a call from Steve and this will
open up the next mission.....

When you start then you can switch to Trevor to speed things up at the
beginning.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to the building you find Trevor. After the cutscene where you
are introduced to Devin Weston then Michael is requested to go somewhere
and kill somebody. From here, drive to the House in Rockford Hills.
When you get there then you find out that it was the wrong house. After
that then you auto switch back to Trevor and now you need to torture Mr. K
to get the right information. Pick a torture device and you will be given
instructions on how to use it. Be careful not to push Mr. K too far or you
will stop his heart. After using a device then Mr. K will give you
additional information.
From here, you auto switch back to Michael and you need to drive to the
next location. When you get there then you need to know who you are looking
for. Now you auto switch back to Trevor and you need to torture Mr. K some
more. After getting some more information then you auto switch back to
Michael.
Turns out that there is a party over where the target is at and you need
more information to determine what the target exactly looks like. You then
auto switch back to Trevor and need to torture Mr. K some more. After that
then you go back to Michael. You still need more specific information. Then
switch back to Trevor.
Torture Mr. K some more and he will give you the right information. The guy
will have a beard, smokes, and is left handed. When looking at the house he
will be the guy outside wearing a red long sleeve shirt.
>>"It'll Check Out"
*****************
When you look inside the house for the first time your target will be
snorting coke from the coffee table on the second floor. Shoot him to
end the torture session early.
After killing your target, regardless of method, then you will auto switch
back to Trevor. Then take Mr. K to the Airport to successfully complete the
mission.

>>Don't Stop Me Now
*****************
You need to torture Mr. K without stopping his heart. You need to look
at the screen every so often to check on his heart. There is also a
health bar in the upper left corner. When that empties then you will
cause his heart to stop.
Regardless of device order save the Clips for last. When using the
Clips then spark it about ten times to scare him almost into submission
and use them for a few seconds which should get Steve to say stop. This
should allow you to keep Mr. K's heart from stopping.
Of course, the easiest way to get this Requirement is to shoot your
target early which will stop the torturing before you can use all the
devices.

After a talk with him then Michael leaves with his son. Drive over to the
Burger Shot. When you get there then you meet Jimmy's friend. After the
meet then drive back to your house. As you drive you take a sip from
Jimmy's drink. However, is it spiked with some serious stuff and you begin
to trip out making you drive very erratically. You will eventually pass out
and be tossed from the car.
When you finally wake up from your drug induced dream you will be in a
small park not far from your home almost naked. When you get back to your

You will also lose your Tailgater (for now). You will now be using Amanda's
car, the Declasse Premiere. Her car, along with Tracey's Weeny Issi, can
also be considered personal vehicles just like your Tailgater. And they can
be modded just like yours. It might be a good idea at some point in the
game to mod both of these cars so you can have a good backup vehicle.
In addition, you will also open up the Yoga activity. This activity can be
used for improving your Special but you should have that maxed out already.
Yoga also does *NOT* count towards 100% Completion so there is no need to
do it again.

don't get too close as you don't want to hit the Cops. The chase winds
through the north part of the Vinewood area. The Casino is a bad spot so be
careful there.
Eventually she will crash and the Cop will then approach her. As he does then

This is the same guy you met earlier as Michael but it's Franklin's turn to
talk to him. Unlike with Michael some of the encounters you do with Barry as
Franklin are required for 100% Completion.
When Franklin tries Barry's product it has no effect on him unlike what
happened with Michael. Still, Barry needs him to pick up some supplies for
the smoke-in and will text him with additional info. Shortly after the
meeting then you will get an email from him and this will put two green
circles on the map. Let's start with the one to the east.....

You will find the necessary vehicle at the north end of the Lumberyard. You
need to get it to Barry's Apartment within four minutes. However, there are
unmarked Police vehicles staking out the place. If you are spotted leaving
then you will have to deal with a 2-Star Wanted Rating before you can take
the truck to Barry's.
The best way to avoid them is to go right at the corner then go right again.
Go through the alley and through the construction barrier to drop onto the
grass below. Then go northeast to El Rancho Blvd and quickly drive to
Barry's. When you get there then get out of the truck and run away from the
area to successfully complete the encounter.

When Franklin meets Beverly again he finds the photographer in the middle of
his reality show. When the subject of payment is discussed Beverly basically
stiffs Franklin. At this point you have two options: walk away or kill
Beverly and his crew. When you do either option then the encounter is
completed.

You need to kill Beverly and his crew with one shot. The best weapon
for this is the RPG since it packs the most punch and explodes upon
impact. Get a safe distance away, bring out the weapon, aim at
Beverly's feet then fire.
Another benefit to killing him is that you can get about a couple of
thousand dollars from his corpse. However, you may have to wait until
the flames go out first or you may risk injuring yourself.
This, of course, will permanently end Beverly's encounters. Now let's go back

When Franklin returns home he is confronted by his Aunt and Lamar about
disloyalty. He hasn't been hanging with the crew or attending meetings. In
the middle of all this Trevor shows up. After chasing off Aunt Denise then
Trevor gets himself involved in Lamar's and Franklin's excursion.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, get in the Van. The plan is to do a business transaction with
Stretch to "move up the food chain". It will happen down on Grove St. When
you get there then go to the House. During the transaction Trevor finds
that they are being ripped off. This sets off an attack on the trio.
Now you need to move up the street shooting up gangbangers as you go.
You'll be prompted to switch characters from time to time although you can
ignore it if you wish.
There are lots of gangbangers and you'll need to take cover behind the
dumpsters as you will be taking lots of damage. Another option is to go
through the backyards and try to get some from behind. Use of the Assault
Shotgun can be very helpful during this mission.
As you get halfway up the street then the Cops will be called resulting in
a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Follow Lamar and he will take you down to the
river. If you get too far away from him then you will fail the mission.
Thankfully there is a video shoot being done with jetskis. Take the jetskis
and go. At this point you need to follow Lamar. He will lead you towards
the Terminal area and go under the Chum St. bridge. As you get close to
more open water then he will tell you to split up. Now you will need to
lose the Wanted Rating.
Just as you get under the Buccaneer Way bridge then veer left towards a
ladder that leads back up to an area just under the bridge. Quickly jump
off the jetski and climb up the ladder. When you get to the top then turn
left and run to the train tunnel. Unfortunately, the Cops had a feeling you
would try that so there will be a couple of them waiting for you there.
Quickly kill them after the train passes then run north into the tunnel.
Keep running until you find one of the tunnels going into the river then
stop within it. Shortly after stopping then the Rating should disappear and
the mission will be successfully completed.

There will be four of these races and they are required for 100% Completion.
If you've acquired at least one Gold Medal in the Shooting Range, Street
Races, Off-Road Races, Triathlons, and the Flight School then getting a Gold
Medal in one of the Sea Races should get you the {Multi-Disciplined}
Accomplishment.
Despite the waves the Seashark is easy to control. Use the Rudder buttons for
making sharp turns. This is pretty much the key for winning the races as you
have open space to easily get past your rivals.
At the end of the race you will be on the Seashark you rode on. If you drive
it to another race then you can use it instead of getting off and climbing on
the one at the race start.
Listed below are the four races from easiest to hardest.
0===========================================================================0
| Los Santos | You have to compete against eight riders in this very |
| | easy race. You can pretty much get into first place |

| East Coast | You have to compete against eight riders in a race |

Head to City Hall and when you get there you find there is no one here. When
you call Barry you find him too high to do much of anything. This will also
end the encounter.

Trevor finds out that Floyd works at the docks and wants to know what is
interesting down there. So he gets all of them, including Wade, into
uniforms so they can check things out.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to Pier 400. Along the way you find out a couple of things
about the Merryweather area. When you get there then go to Dispatch. When
he checks in the follow him. Eventually he will lead you to a container
handler. Get inside and go to the marked Containers.
Position the crane part over the container and pick it up with D-Pad Right.
Then take it over to Area F and drop it off. Then repeat with the second
Container. When you are done with the Containers then run to the Crane and
climb it. When you get to the top you find that you are needed to operate
it.
The game gives you instructions on how to operate the crane. You need to
lift a Container and move it to the other end then place it onto a truck.
Then go back and do it again with the second one. The camera angle makes
this a little tricky but you can make it easier by using the overhead view
(thanks to Sterling P. de Mille for that tip).
After this then go up to the Vantage Point and take three pictures of the
boat - the front, a guard, and the back. Then send the photos to Ron. After
this then climb down to ground level. From here, climb into the truck and
drive to the Docking Area. When you get there then you will be confronted
by security.
As Floyd is being attacked Trevor will make off with the manifest. Leave
the Restricted Area. Take the unattended truck nearby and drive to Floyd's
Apartment. When you get there then you need to plan out the next heist. You
can select either the Freighter or Offshore Approach. When you finish
selecting your Approach then the mission is successfully completed.

Head towards Fort Zancudo but approach it from the north entrance off of
the Great Ocean Highway. When you get onto the base then make an immediate
beeline for the chopper. The fast car should outrun the ability for the
tanks to aim at you and the bulletproof tires should keep the soldiers from
shooting out the tires and slowing down the car.
When you get to the chopper then quickly get in and take off. From here,
you need to lose the Military Chopper sent in to destroy you. Just head
towards Sandy Shores Airfield and keep low. After you get some distance
away from the base then you will automatically lose the Rating. After that
then land at the Airfield to successfully complete the mission.

To start, drive Franklin to his spot on the Miriam Turner Overpass. When
you drop him off then you auto switch to Franklin. Head to your Vantage
Point. After talking to Michael then snipe the two Guards shown. After
Michael climbs on board then you will auto switch to Michael.
Plant the bomb on the pillar then switch back to Franklin. Snipe the three
Guards on the ship as Michael makes his way to the next bomb point.
Continue left along the ship and snipe all the Guards you see. This will
clear a path for Michael to enter the ship. After entering the ship then
the alarm will go off.
Snipe the two Guards near the entrance. Then snipe all of the Guards from
the two vehicles that appear. Then a Buzzard will appear to confront you.
Snipe the pilot to bring it down. Michael will then leave the ship but
Guards will chase him as he does so. Snipe the Guards before they can do
damage to him. After sniping all of the Guards then Michael will jump off
the ship.
Michael will tell you to Detonate the bombs from your phone. You will then
auto switch to Michael who will dive back under water. Use the sonar pings
to locate the Package. When you find it then you will auto switch to Trevor
who is in the Sub. Drive to the Package then lower yourself onto it to grab
it. Then drive it over to Pier 400 where Floyd is waiting.
During the cutscene that follows Lester shows up. He was supposed to be in
a hospital but he found out about things and needed to get there before it
was too late. The Package is some kind of experimental weapon and taking it
would bring all kinds of major problems on everybody. So now you have to
give it back and therefore the entire Heist was all for naught. After the
cutscene then the mission ends.

To start, as Michael, you need to drive out to Sandy Shores Airfield. When
you get there then get into the Cargobob. Use the Grappling Hook to grab
the sub then fly out to the assigned point near Paleto Cove. When you get
close then release the Sub close to the water. As you drop you will auto
switch to Trevor.
As you dive then use the Trackify app on your phone to find the Package.
When you get to it then you need to dive down deep to get it. After
acquiring the Package then ascend to the surface. After ascending to the
surface then switch to Michael. Lower the chopper down and pick up the Sub
then fly back to the Airfield.
As you fly then you will be attacked by Merryweather guards. Switch to
Franklin and use one of the Machine Guns to shoot down any and all
approaching Choppers. If you don't shoot them down then they can destroy
your chopper. Use the D-Pad to quickly switch sides. Aim at the pilot to
quickly bring the aircraft down.
After all of the Choppers are gone then continue flying to the Airfield.
When you get to the Airfield then lower the chopper and drop the Sub.
During the cutscene that follows Lester shows up. The Package is some kind

A good shortcut to the Airfield is to turn off the Senora Freeway just
before the Prison and angle northwest across the land towards the

in this regards.

for purchase:

>>Tivoli Cinema (Michael only) - $30,000,000.
>>Los Santos Golf Club - $150,000,000.
You will notice that some of them are real expensive and can only be
purchased after making lots of money in the Stock Market. Fortunately you
only need to buy five of them for 100% Completion.
But which five to buy?
One thing that needs to be considered is what is called Management Tasks.
There are two types of tasks:
0===========================================================================0
| Random Tasks | Certain Businesses will make money on their own which |
| | you will get weekly. But, on random occasions, you may |
| | get a call from that Business asking you to do |
| | something. That could range from a simple delivery to |
| | protecting it from attacks. If you fail to do anything |
| | then you will lose that week's profits. |
| | |
| | If you have a few of these types of Businesses and you |
| | are trying to do things off-mission or even going to a |
| | mission marker then these calls will become rather |
| | annoying. So it is best to avoid buying these |
| | Businesses right now. |
|------------------+--------------------------------------------------------|
| Non-Random Tasks | Other Businesses do have similar tasks in order to |
| | make money but you can do them whenever you want and |
| | won't be bothered by others. You can basically "buy |
| | and forget" these places but you won't make any money |
| | from them unless you do their tasks. |
0===========================================================================0
There are also a couple of Businesses that don't even have any tasks at all
(Los Santos Customs, Los Santos Golf Club).
The Businesses that have Non-Random Tasks are the ones that I will focus on.
And three of these Businesses have Accomplishments attached to them so I will
buy them as well.
However, most people prefer to save these until after they have completed the
Finale missions and made their money in the stock markets. Makes sense of
course. But there is one Business that you should buy now which will allow
you to make some good money which will be useful just a little later. The
other four I will go over near the end of the guide.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
The Sonar Collections Dock can be found south of Paleto Bay. Purchase the
Dock and you will also get a message about the nuclear waste within the
waters around the state. You will now get the use of a Submarine similar to
the one you used during the Merryweather Heist.
You use the Sub to go and pick up the Barrels of Nuclear Waste. There are
thirty of them and you get $23,000 per Barrel picked up plus a $250,000 bonus
for collecting them all. You can make a $690,000 profit when you subtract the
cost of the Docks. And, while you're out there collecting the Barrels, you
can go after additional Hidden Packages and make an additional $143,000 on
top of what you're already getting.
Picking up the Waste is not required for 100% Completion but you will get the
{Waste Management} Accomplishment which is the reason to buy this Business.
Anybody can buy the Business and anybody can pick up the Barrels regardless
of who's owning but only the owner will get the money. I recommend getting
the poorest of either Franklin or Trevor and buy the Docks then collect the
Barrels.
Picking up the Barrels will take quite some time because the Sub is very slow
so you will have to patient. When inside the Sub there are some things to
note.
There will be a black bar at the bottom of the radar. The number on the left
side is for your current depth (in feet). The number on the right is the
depth to the ocean floor (in feet). The Sub's crush depth is 485 feet. If you
are below this depth then you will slowly be crushed. Stay down there for too
long and the Sub will implode and you will be Wasted.
While in the sub you use the Trackify app on your phone to find a barrel. On
the app the depth is for the target (in meters). It will only lock onto the
nearest one regardless of distance and whether or not there are any other
barrels close to it. This app makes it very easy to find the barrels even
though there is nothing that will tell you how far you are from one.
You cannot switch to another character while inside the Sub. You can leave
the Sub to some exploring nearby (and be outfitted with scuba gear). When you
leave then the Sub will automatically surface.
Listed below are all of the Barrels of Nuclear Waste starting with the
nearest one from the Dock and going clockwise. I will also list the Hidden
Packages so you can acquire them while going after the Waste. They are listed
based on the nearest land region:

| >GHF47. The Assassination Missions and Investment Advice |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The marker for Lester is the beginning of what are known as the Assassination
Missions. There are five of these missions total and they are used to
manipulate the stock markets so you can make lots of money.
The majority of players prefer to save them until after the completion of the
Main Story since they will have lots of cash to invest. However, you need to
do the first Assassination Mission before doing "Blitz Play" or you won't be
able to do the Heist.
The reason I am doing it at this point is that, if you've acquired lots of
Hidden Packages for all three characters, did The Epsilon Program encounters
for Michael, and collected the Nuclear Waste with either Trevor or Franklin,
then you should have quite a bit of money now to invest in the stock being
affected in the following mission.
When investing money in the stock markets you will need to make time pass
until you have the stock you need to invest in or sell right where you want
it. You will need to get someone to sleep at a Safehouse to pass the time
quickly and check the stock being affected. You will also need to switch
between all three characters quickly to buy and sell so all can make money.
Although the Assassination Missions are the obvious ways to manipulate the
stock markets there are two Main Story missions ("Legal Trouble" and
"Meltdown") and a Random Event Encounter ("Hitch Lift 1") that will also help
you with the markets. I already covered "Hitch Lift 1" earlier and I will go
over investment information for the two story missions later.
One goal of this guide is to get between $250 million to $300 million per
character which is more than enough to purchase everything in the game if you
wish to do so. You can go higher if you want but I think that is a good range
for those who want it all but don't want to spend too much time to get it.
Below are some investment advice depending on where you want to do the
remaining Assassination Missions:
>>After the Finale (with and without BAWSAQ access)
*************************************************
You should have your poorest character between $1 million to $1.5
million. The only way to get this is to do Hidden Package collecting.
It probably shouldn't take too long because at least two of your
characters should be close to that amount.
>>Before the Finale (with BAWSAQ access)
**************************************
Your poorest character should have between $1.5 million to $2 million.
>>Before the Finale (without BAWSAQ access)
*****************************************
I recommend that all three characters should have around $3.5 million
to $5 million. This will obviously take awhile but will be worth it in
the end.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
If you have internet access and can get to BAWSAQ then get each character to
invest all of their money into Betta Pharmaceutical before proceeding. Then
switch back to Franklin and go to Lester.....

Sniper Rifle (silenced).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to the Hotel. When you get there then you need to quickly find
a good place to snipe him but where you're standing is fine. You also have
ninety seconds before he checks out. When the counter goes to zero then
your Target will leave. Wait until he sits in his vehicle then snipe him in
the head. This will alert security who will go after you. However, quickly
leave the area to successfully complete the mission.

>>Sniper Boy
**********
You need to kill the Target using a Sniper Rifle.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$7,000 plus an additional $2,000 if you snipe him. So you can earn a
possible $9,000. You will also get a new Safehouse in Vinewood Hills. But
you will lose the old one in the process.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
After this mission you need to wait until the Betta Pharmaceutical stock
maxes out (around 50% or so) then sell it. After selling that stock then
wait for the Bilkington (LCN Exchange) to go down (to around $30) then buy
as much as you can. Wait for it to max out (around 100% or so) then sell
it. This will take multiple game days to sleep through before all is said
and done.
The good news is that even if you can't buy Betta stock you can still buy
Bilkington stock because it is listed on LCN so you can still take
advantage of this mission even if you don't have internet access.
Now let's go see what the F.I.B. want from you now.....

While you were setting up the Merryweather Heist you will get a call from
Steve telling all of you to go the Oil Fields for a face-to-face. When you
get there you find that the F.I.B. needs you to steal some funds from
another agency so they can do their jobs. You are left to figure out how to
go about things.
After driving off you get into a conference call with the other two
characters. You will need Masks, a Getaway Car, Boiler Suits, and a Tow
Truck. This will put multiple markers on the map.....

| A. Getaway Vehicle |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
For this you need a fast but discreet car that can seat four. The cars that
the characters own, such as Trevor's Bohdi, cannot be used. You can do this
with any character. Heading north towards Vinewood should spawn some good
vehicles.
When you finally acquire one then you need to hide it somewhere discreet. The
best place to put it is a small parking area under one of the off-ramps for
the Olympic Fwy. and Del Perro Fwy. interchange and just off of El Rancho
Blvd.
When heading north on El Rancho Blvd. get up to the freeway bridge which is
part of the interchange. Just as you get to the bridge then look left to find
a blue wall and some dumpsters. You should also find a path leading down
under the off-ramps. This will lead to a small parking area with a small
white and yellow building. Leave the car here.
The reason for parking it here is because this is where the car will be found
if you do a Mission Replay for "Blitz Play" regardless of where you parked
the vehicle on your initial play-through.
After hiding the car then call up Michael and select "Mark Getaway Location".

The Tow Truck can be found just south of the Maze Bank Arena. When you get
there you find somebody working on a car next to it. Sneak up to him and

The Trashmaster can be found in the Mirror Park area. It will be driving
around so you need to put a car in front of it to get it to stop. Then take
the vehicle and drive it a short distance to get around your vehicle. Then
you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating.
The best thing to do is to immediately get out and go behind the nearby
houses. There's no way you can easily outrun the Rating in the Trashmaster so
it is best to get rid of it on foot, especially considering that you can't go
back to the Oil Fields until it is gone. When the Rating is gone then drive
the Trashmaster back to the Oil Fields to successfully complete the mission.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start off as Michael and you need to drive the Trashmaster over to
Cypress Flats. When you get there then you will auto switch to Trevor who
is keeping lookout. When the Armored Car approaches then you will auto
switch back to Michael. Drive the Trashmaster a short distance and block
both lanes of the road. As the Armored Car approaches then you auto switch
to Franklin and you need to ram the Car with the Tow Truck.
Get out of the Truck then plant Sticky Bombs on the rear of the Car and
blow it open. After that you find out that they had a silent alarm and that
the Cops will be swarming in a matter of seconds. This will initiate a
4-Star Wanted Rating. Get into cover and wait for them to arrive.
Here you will get in a protracted battle with the Police. When the game
suggests you switch to a character then switch. You will fight the Police
using all three characters as you take down N.O.O.S.E, Snipers, and
Choppers. To aid in survival it may be best to use Assisted Aiming for this
fight. Listen to what the characters are saying so you can position someone
properly to deal with any kind of threat.
After you thin them out then switch to Franklin and drive the Trashmaster
to where the Getaway Vehicle is parked, wherever that is. When you get
there then get out of the Trashmaster, plant a Sticky Bomb on it, get into
the car, drive a short distance, and blow up the Trashmaster. Then drive
off away from the area. Later, Franklin will call Michael and then you will
auto switch to him.
From here, drive to Devin's House. When you get there then you start a
cutscene. Devin needs somebody to get some cars from him but Michael isn't
interested. When Devin asks what Michael is interested in he finds than
Mike is interested in movies. Devin tells him that he can hook him up with
Solomon Richards, a big time movie producer. After the cutscene ends then
the mission is successfully completed.

After the mission "Blitz Play" a "?" marker will appear at the Sonar
Collections Dock. This is a Michael specific Stranger encounter involving a
lady named Abigail. She is the widow of a famous TV personality who died
while exploring wrecks in a sub. She cannot collect the life insurance and
needs help in finding pieces of the sub in order to get it. This begins what
is known as "Death at Sea".
At this point you open up a Dinghy with scuba gear which will be next to the
Sub. There are thirty Submarine Pieces that can be collected. They can be
found in green circles that will appear near you as you drive the Dinghy.
When you get into a circle then you will see sonar pings from one of the
Pieces in the circle. There can be more than one Piece in a circle but only
one will ping at a time.
It should be noted that if a Piece is near land you will see and hear the
pings even if you are on land. The Pieces are always found near wreckage or
interesting landscape feature. You can go and collect additional Hidden
Packages if you wish to do so since you don't get any money for collecting
Pieces. Any character can collect the Pieces but only Michael can deal with
Abigail.
When you collect all thirty Pieces then go back to the Dock to start "What
Lies Beneath" with Abigail. Here you can let her go or kill her - your
choice. The only reward you get for this is $10. No Accomplishment either and
it doesn't count towards 100% Completion.
But I do recommend acquiring the Pieces because it will take the "?" marker
off the map plus you don't have to deal with the annoying pings if you happen
to be doing something around the south part of Los Santos. Because the Dinghy
is much faster than the Sub it won't take too long to collect all of the
Pieces. This will also be Michael's last Stranger encounter.

Devin wants the trio to steal some high priced vehicles from some trust
fund kids he dislikes so he can sell them to the Chinese for a very healthy
profit.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start off as Franklin and you need to get into the assigned car. From
here, head to the Gas Station near the Tataviam Mountains Ammu-Nation.
Along the way Michael will call you. When you get to the Gas Station then
Franklin will challenge the two brats to a race.
Head up north along the Freeway. Keep up with them into the Grapeseed area
while dodging the heavy traffic. When you get near Grapeseed then you will
call Michael and you auto switch to him. Now you and Trevor chase the group
on Police bikes. They are slower than the sports cars but keep with them.
Eventually you will manage to pull them over on a bridge in North Chumash.
During the cutscene you will steal the two cars. Now you have to switch to
someone, either Trevor or Franklin, for the race back to Los Santos (I
prefer Franklin). When you get back to Los Santos then you need to go to
the garage on Hays St. When you get there then you start a cutscene.
Although you brought him the cars he needs Devin actually wants five and
won't pay you until they are all delivered. Molly outlines the next target
and lets Michael go because he is not needed for that one. After the
cutscene ends then you will finish the mission as Michael.

Now both Franklin and Trevor go after the next car.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
The Z-Type car is inspired by the vehicle used by the Zaibatsu Corporation
in GTA2.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
If you start out as Trevor then you will need to go to the Mission Row
Police Station. Go to the front desk and the Cop will point you to the
Helipad after you tell him you work for Devin. When you get to the chopper
then you will fly off to meet Franklin. If you start off as Franklin then
go to the Oil Fields where you will meet with Trevor who flies in.
When working the scanner you can zoom in on someone, perform a body scan,
and pull up their records. Point the camera in the direction you want to
go. Start off on a scan of Franklin. After that then you need to go to
Hawick and find Chad Mulligan amongst several targets. When you get there
then start scanning them. However, your target is not there.
From here, head east to find several more. Chad is one of them and he
should be talking to another woman. Keep him in sight when he walks away
and he will eventually lead you to where he has parked the car. But, when
Franklin comes to confront him, then Chad drives away. Now you need to keep
track of the car so Franklin can follow him and retrieve it.
Keep the camera zoomed out so you can better keep track of him, especially
when he goes through alleys and close to obstructions. Eventually he will
enter a parking garage. Now the chopper will lower and you need to use the
thermal camera to find Chad.
First, though, you need to locate Franklin. He will be in the center of the
garage. Chad will be located at the northwest corner or way left of
Franklin after you locate him. After finding Chad then you will auto switch
to Franklin. Pistolwhip Chad and enter the car. If you don't pistolwhip him
then he will call the Cops and you will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating when you
get near the Airport. That will complicate things a bit.
After stealing the car then Franklin will call Molly to tell her of the
acquisition. You will now go to the Airport to present the car to Devin
before he flies off on a trip. When you get to the hangar then you will
start a cutscene. After that then grab a car and go to the Airport exit to
successfully complete the mission.

Deliver the Z-Type with no damage. There is virtually no traffic on the
streets so this should be easy, especially if you pistolwhip Chad and
you don't have to deal with the Cops.

You need to listen to three conversations. Use the Right Shoulder
button to listen on conversations before you scan.

Find Chad's hiding place on the first attempt. He is pretty easy to

Upon meeting Solomon, Michael finds out that he is planning his new movie,
"Meltdown". However, things are not going well. The lead actor has a new
agent, Rocco Pelosi, who is holding things up and a director who is in the
middle of a mental breakdown. Looks like Michael has some work to do in
order to get things back on track.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
Rocco Pelosi is the gangster you dealt with during "The Ballad of Gay
Tony".
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, head to East Los Santos and to the Club where you will find
Anton, the director, and Milton, the actor. Along the way Solomon will call
you to give you some details. You need to teach Rocco some manners and
bring the talent back to the Studio, preferably pacified.
When you get to the Club then you find a helicopter on top of the building
and Anton and Milton sitting inside. Rocco goes back into the building to
get something and leaves the helicopter unattended. Now you need to get
there without alarming Rocco.
There are two ways to do this. You can either slowly sneak your way up and
avoid the workers along the way or you can use a silenced weapon and kill
them so you can run and speed things up. I recommend killing them since
there are Requirements you can get for doing so. I use the silenced Carbine
Rifle for this.
When you climb to the helipad then you confront Rocco. Here you just need
to beat him up with your fists. If you've maxed out your Stamina and
Strength Stats then beating him up will be easy, just keep throwing punches
and he will go down quickly. After beating Rocco into submission then get
in the Chopper.
Now you need to scare Anton and Milton into submission. You need to fly
erratically and fly under bridges and close to buildings. The best thing to
do is to get up a little high then shake the chopper by rapidly going left
and right. After some of this then Anton and Milton will submit. After you
have them under control then fly back to the Film Studio. After you land
then go to Solomon to successfully complete the mission.

You need to kill three enemies using stealth attacks. Use a silenced

>>Can't Touch This 2.0

You need to beat up Rocco without taking any damage. And you can't use
any melee weapons at all. If you do then it will immediately kill him
and you will fail the mission. Also, if you continue to beat him up
after you defeat him then you will kill him.
>>Perfect Touchdown
*****************
You need to land the Frogger without damaging it. And I mean without
damaging it *AT ALL* during the flight including the landing. If you
barely scratch it then you can't get this Requirement.

At this point you no longer get a 2-Star Wanted Rating for entering Backlot
City. This extends to all three characters.
Shortly after this mission then you will get a call from Martin Madrazo. He
needs your assistance and this opens up his marker in Vinewood Hills.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
One of my readers, Greg Pinto, suggested having Micheal fly to the ranch in
a helicopter prior to starting the mission and using it to fly to the
Observatory to save time for the Time Requirement. However, you can still
get the Requirement without having to do the extra work.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, head to Galileo Observatory. When you get there then get in the
van. Inside the van is a big sophisticated gun. It has incredible zoom
capabilities and is extremely powerful. You need it to shoot down the
plane, with Javier inside, that is coming in from Liberty City.
When you spot the plane you will notice a red square in front of it. You
need to shoot at the square to hit the plane. You need to hit the square
three times to damage the plane enough to bring it down. You need to hit
the square before the plane turns towards the Airport or it will be too
hard to hit and you may fail the mission.
After crippling the plane then you will auto switch to Trevor and you need
to chase the plane. The plane will drag you all the way out to San Chianski
Mountain Range. When it finally crashes then go up and kill Javier and
retrieve the files. You will then auto switch back to Michael.
Leave the area and drive to the Stoner Cement Works on Senora Road. When
you get there then drive the van into the cow field next to it and get out.
Use a Sticky Bomb, plant it on the van, and get far enough away then
destroy it. After destroying it you will immediately get a call from
Trevor. He wants you to go to the Stoner Cement Works as there has been a
change of plan.
Since you are already here then simply walk over to the circle to start a
cutscene. Michael finds that Trevor has already talked to Martin. Things
got out of hand and he decided to kidnap his wife. This, of course, upsets
Michael greatly. This will also successfully end the mission.

>>Floor It
********
You need to reach top speed on the Sanchez. This is actually tough to
do. No matter how fast you go on the straightaways you can only seem to
get around 98%. However, according to mr_Tii over at GTAForums, there
is a way to get this.
Just after you switch to Trevor you will need to go off the dirt path
and down the hillside. When you get to the edge of the path you should
be at a three-way intersection of dirt roads. Instead of just going
forward and down the hill, go left.
On the right side of the road should be a rocky ridge. Either go to the
middle or to the end of it then veer right off and down the hill. You
will now go down a much steeper grade and that will give you enough of
a speed boost to get the Requirement. This will also get you off-course
a bit but this shouldn't hamper you.
>>Glued to the Seat
*****************
You need to stay on the Sanchez and not fall off.
>>One Two Three
*************
You need to shoot down the plane with only three shots. Take your time
and get the shots while the plane is still pointed towards you.

Shooting down the plane quickly, driving the van to the cement factory
and destroying it there will help towards this Requirement.

0=======================>
To start, jump over the gate and head to the Actor. Wait around the corner
until his female assistant leaves then sneak up and knock him out. After
you get into costume then find the Car and enter it. Now you need to drive
it to the Garage. Of course, the Studio security won't let you get away
that easy.
Run over everybody as you leave the Studio area. After you exit then the
female actress will yank the wheel every so often to get you to stop. After
some distance a couple of Studio security cars will pursue you.
Shortly after they appear then you will be prompted on the use of the
Spikes. Use the Left Analog Stick to release the Spikes to blow their
tires. You have unlimited use so you have plenty of opportunities to blow
their tires (and everybody else's). After you get rid of Security then you
will be alerted to a Red Button. Press it to activate the Ejector Seat and
get rid of the actress.
When you get rid of her then Franklin will call Molly. She will inform you
of a suspicious figure around the Hays Garage.
When you get into the Garage then Franklin will meet Devin again. But then
Lamar enters the picture. Now Devin wants both Franklin and Lamar to work
together to get the last vehicle. This upsets Franklin but he has no choice
in the matter. When the cutscene ends then the mission is completed
successfully.

Deliver the JB700 with minimal damage. Even with the Security ramming

You need to reach top speed in the JB700. For this you should go onto
the Del Perro Fwy. after taking the car. Keep a decent speed until you
get rid of both the Security and the actress. Then get on the
straightest part at one end and go as fast as you can between the cars
then, when you max out the speed, use Franklin's Special to get some
extra speed to push you over the top.

Franklin arrives at Michael's house but finds it empty. He calls Michael
and finds that he is at the Grand Senora Desert and at Trevor's house.
Michael fills Franklin in on some of the details of what is going on. After
the call then Ron comes in and tells Trevor about a shipment of weapons
being brought in by Merryweather. Trevor decides to go after it
himself.....

Assault Shotgun.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to McKenzie Field. Then get in the Plane and take off. Now you
need to get to the Cargo Plane but you have to fly low to avoid radar
detection from Fort Zancudo. Going along the main roads and ocean will help
to keep you from being detected. You need to follow the plane around Fort
Zancudo and Paleto Bay.
After going around Mount Chiliad then you will be far enough from radar
detection to climb altitude and go after the Cargo Plane. When you get
close enough then the plane will open up and you will be shot at. Continue
forward to land inside the Cargo Plane. However, if you go too high, then
you will smack into the tail and you die and fail the mission. So it is
best to approach from below at a shallow angle.
After the cutscene with you entering then you will need to fight your way
to the front end of the plane. Switch to your Assault Shotgun, keep in
cover, and occasionally pop up to kill a Guard. When you kill all of them
then you need to proceed forward. Go in the middle as this will keep you
from being hit by moving cargo.
When you climb up the ladder then kill the pilot and take over. From here,
fly the plane back to McKenzie Field. However, after some distance, two
jets come in to escort you back to base. But just continue to fly to
Grapeseed. You will also need to gain additional altitude as you fly there.
When you get close then they will fire upon you and cripple the jet. Now
you need to jump from the plane. After jumping then deploy the parachute
and land, preferably back in Sandy Shores. It should be pointed out that
the plane will crash into the western half of the Alamo Sea. It will then
become another underwater wreck you can explore for weapons and items. When
you safely land then the mission is successfully completed.

Franklin encounters a dog near a foot path. Unbelievably Franklin seems to
be able to understand what the dog is saying. Apparently somebody is in
trouble and he decides to follow the dog.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Follow the dog down the path. The dog will lead you to someone stuck in a
tree. Free him and he will talk to you about parachuting. His name is Dom
and he is what he calls a control junkie. He will then prod you into going
with him on a parachute jump. After the cutscene then follow Dom. Get in
the Helicopter when it lands.
The pilot will then fly to another area to make another jump. You can skip
the journey if you want. When you get close to Mount Chiliad then you will
rise high up in the air. From here, you need to jump out of the Helicopter
and land on the summit of Mount Chiliad. After landing then you need to get
on a bike. Wait for Dom before going anywhere.
Now you need to race Dom down the mountain. This is kind of tough because
it is very easy to go off the mountain and fail the encounter. Don't try to
get ahead of Dom - just focus on the course. Eventually you will get into
Paleto Forest.
There is a curve just before the finish line. You can cut across it and get
the last checkpoint before the finish and get in front of Dom to win the
race. When you finish the race, regardless of who wins, then the encounter
will be completed successfully.

Partway down the mountain you should see an oval-like shape where the
path splits and comes back together. Just after that the path will
split again (although it won't show on the map because the split is too

At this point you will now open up this activity which will appear as
parachutes on your map. There are a total of thirteen of these Parachute
Jumps that must be completed for 100% Completion. There are two categories of
jumps: Helicopter (seven) and Base (six). Each completed category counts for
one activity on the Hobbies and Pastimes category on the 100% Completion
list.
When you land you will be graded and given money bonuses based on accuracy.
The closer you get to the center of the target, the higher your Accuracy
rating and the more money you can make. You don't need to be 100% Accurate to
succeed. Just land anywhere in the target to successfully complete the Jump.
But if you are too far away from it then you will fail the jump.
The jumps are not hard to do if you've done well on the parachuting lessons
in the Flight School. In addition to completion percentage you will also get
a free Parachute when entering aircraft. It should also be noted that you are
not allowed to do a jump when you have a Wanted Rating.

Now Dom wants to try something real extreme.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, drive the ATV onto the Airport tarmac and get into the Cargo
Plane. After the cutscene then you need to drive out of the plane. Here you
will free-fall to the ground while on the ATV. Actually you will be over
the Alamo Sea. While in the air you can perform tricks if you want.
When you get close enough to the ground then get off the ATV and parachute
to the landing zone. When you get there then wait for Dom to land and start
the cutscene to successfully complete the mission.

You need to survive a water landing without opening the parachute. You
have to ride with the ATV in order to minimize injury.

**********
You need to perform eight spins on the ATV. When you jump from the
plane you need to pull back on the Left Analog Stick to perform what
amounts to a backward flip. You need to keep the stick pulled back this
way to perform the multiple spins required for the Requirement. Doing
backward flips will also keep you from drifting over land.

landing to land onto the flatbed. When you successfully land on that then
the mission is completed.

>>Dare Devil
**********
You need to fall for eight seconds before opening the parachute. This
is an extremely frustrating Requirement and is the worst one in the
entire game. It seems that no matter what you do you always end up with
seven seconds. This one took me a lot of time to get through. There are
two methods that I came up with:
--The Standard Method
===================
When you jump, wait for Dom to get to the end of the word
"accelerating" then open the chute. Use the Shoulder Buttons to
do rapid left and right movements towards the flatbed. This seems
to add speed so you can get to it.
Avoid using precision landing as this tends to make you misjudge
distances and more often than not you will end up just missing
the back of the flatbed by an inch or two which is aggravating.
--The Blind Jump Method
=====================
This unusual method was one borne of frustration and I can't
exactly figure out why it works but it does. When you jump, pull
back on the Left Analog Stick then use the Right Analog Stick to
quickly rotate the camera and look at Franklin from underneath.
This means you can't see the ground. For some reason this allows
you to go beyond the eight second limit.
Of course, this means you will have to do this multiple times to
get the timing right so you can let go of the camera (so it can
snap back behind Franklin) and open the parachute so you can get
to the flatbed. I got ten seconds on the X360 version and eleven
seconds on the PS3 version.
>>Bullseye

You need to land perfectly on the back of the truck.

0=======================>
If you don't already have one then you should go and get a Parachute before
doing this mission.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to where Dom is at. He is hanging off the Land Act Dam. He plans to jump
off of it and into the shallow river below without a parachute. After
talking to Franklin then he makes the jump. But the river is too shallow
and the impact kills him. After this then walk away or grab Dom's bike and
ride away from the area to successfully complete the encounter.

You need to jump after Don and survive the fall. You will notice a
Parachute on the ground by a couple of boxes near the bike. You can
grab that if you didn't get a Parachute prior to the mission. Go to the
gate nearby and jump the railing by the ladder. Immediately deploy the
Parachute and safely land on the ground to get this Requirement.

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, you need to chase the suspect. Follow him and either use your
Stun Gun or knock him off his ATV. You can also let Joe stun him as well.
When he is down then stop nearby and let the patriots apprehend him. After
this then head to the Cement Factory.
When you get there then you need to chase two suspects on bikes. This can
lead into a long chase because they are faster than your current vehicle
and the rough terrain can slow you down. Eventually they will go down
Senora Road and you will have a chance to catch them. Knock them off or
shoot them with the Stun Gun. Don't worry about the first guy you knock off
- he'll stay put, just go and get the second one.
After both are down then let the patrol apprehend the second guy and go
back and get the first. When the first guy gets into the vehicle then you
need to exit it to successfully complete the encounter.

>>Downed
******
You need to stop the first group of immigrants within thirty seconds.
The best way to do this is to ram him off his ATV. If you're fast
enough you can nail him at the beginning when you reach the
intersection.
>>Double Downed
*************
You need to stop the second group of immigrants within fifty five
seconds. Again, ram them off the bikes to quickly stop them. Another
piece of advice is instead of stopping when you get to the Cement
Factory then continue forward which gives the immigrants less of a lead
on you. You can catch them before they head into the real hilly terrain
and get a substantial lead on you.
>>Shock and Awe
*************
You need to use the Stun Gun to stop all immigrants. You can either do
this yourself or let Joe do the shooting.
If you do the shooting then you'll have to take your time with this
since the Stun Gun has a very limited range and long recharge time.
Especially since you'll have to do this from your vehicle. When you get
close to one then hold down the Fire Button and keep adjusting your
shot as the weapon recharges. You'll also need to keep it slow so you
don't accidentally ram him.
For the second group of immigrants you should wait until you reach
Senora Road before trying to zap them as they will slow down enough for
you to attack them and you'll be on a smooth surface which will make
that task much easier.

You can't do all three Requirements at once. You can do the first two
in one run and the last one in another.

that has been here for over two hundred years and is more American than the
Border Patrol who harassed him.
After a tense stand off then the old man tells Trevor that he owes him a

Trevor and Michael meet at the Meth Lab and get into a nasty argument. Then
Dave and Steve show up. Apparently one of the other agencies is making some
sort of nerve gas and want Trevor and Michael to conduct a raid. They list
the equipment needed but want the duo to procure the funds to acquire it
themselves. After the F.I.B. leave then the duo are left to plan things
out.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
Pistol (silenced).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, head to Paleto Bay. Along the way Michael will call Lester. He
will meet the guys there. In one of the past missions Lester told Michael
about a bank "in the sticks" that may have lots of money. So Mike needs to
hit that bank to get the cash necessary for the raid.
When you get to Paleto Bay then you will meet up with Lester. After the
meetup then head to the bank. When you get there then you need to focus on
the bank. After that then go around back. Lester has doubts about the score
based on the alarm but suggests shooting it to gauge a response. You will
then leave the car. Shoot the alarm which is the green hexagonal object
near the rooftop.
After that then go to the nearby Gas Station. Nothing seems to happen at
first but then a bunch of Police cars show up and you'll find that they
will set up roadblocks and searches. This indicates that the bank has a lot
of cash or, as Trevor puts it: "bad Cops guarding dirty money". After this
then Trevor bails and gets on a motorcycle.
Now you need to race back to the Meth Lab. You can use either Michael or
Trevor for the race. When you get back to the Lab then you need to plan
things out on the planning board. The only choice is for a gunman.
Although you have the choice of Trevor's buddy Chef I strongly recommend
Packie. If you used him during the Vangelico Heist then his stats should be
almost completely maxed out. After making your choice then you'll auto
switch to Trevor and the mission will end successfully.

You need to drive to the bank within three minutes and thirty seconds.
This is very easy to get if you drive fast the entire way. You should
get there with more than twenty seconds to spare.

You need to win the race back to the Meth Lab. I suggest using Michael
because you can risk crashing with Trevor who will be on a bike.

Almost immediately after this mission you will get a call from Franklin.
Earlier in the game he sent you a message about some "hillbillies" looking
for Trevor. Now Franklin is following them. These are the remnants of the
O'Neil family and they are looking for revenge against Trevor. This will
put a "T" marker on Trevor's safehouse.
Later, you will get a text from Lester about military hardware shipments to
Fort Zancudo. However, before I get to that, let's deal with the O'Neil
brothers.....

When you arrive at Trevor's house you find it much cleaner than before
thanks to Martin's wife. She is behaving far less of a hostage and more of
a contented housewife. Apparently Trevor is far more hospitable than her
current husband and seems to like being out here. She even takes to
stopping Trevor from huffing gasoline with a slap to the face.
When Trevor tells Michael about Franklin and the trouble he has found then
he gets upset. This upsets Trevor and decides to leave. Michael goes
along.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
You can switch to Franklin to start the mission after he calls Trevor about
following the O'Neils but you will miss out on the amusing starting
cutscene.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, drive out to Franklin's location. After a short distance you will
auto switch to Franklin who is tailing the O'Neil brothers along the Great
Ocean Highway. Unfortunately, they realize you are onto them so they speed
up. You now have to chase them. If you're thinking about shooting at them,
forget it. Their car is indestructible and the brothers inside are
invulnerable, even if you use Sticky Bombs.
As you are chasing them you will call Trevor with the news. Both Trevor and
Michael will come to Raton Canyon in a chopper. Eventually the O'Neil
brothers will turn off and head into the Raton Canyon area. Continue
following them and they will encounter an elk in the road and crash. Now
you and Chop have to go to their car on foot. When you get there you will
find the brothers gone.
Franklin calls Trevor with the news then you auto switch to him. From here,
drive to the Airfield. When you get there then enter the chopper and fly
out to Franklin's position. When you get there then you will auto switch to
Michael who will have an Heavy Sniper. During this part you cannot
switch to another character.
Use the thermal sight to find the brothers in the forest. However, there
are also lots of elk and other animals in the forest. You need to sort
through them to find the brothers. When you find one then get out of the
thermal scope and kill him.
The first brother will be in Cassidy Creek to the lower left of where you
start. Use your Special to slow things down so you can kill him before he
starts swimming. The second brother will be skulking through the middle of
the forest. Even though he is moving slow you should use your Special so it
will be easier to kill him.
After killing the second brother then look up a bit towards the road. The
last brother will then start attacking the chopper with RPGs. You can't
fire on him because he is behind a large rock. At this point you will then
auto switch to Franklin. Head northeast across the creek and towards the
road instead of following Chop. When you get to the road then you should be
north of the last brother.
Get close enough to make him appear on your radar. When he appears then he
will run towards your position. This will make him easier to kill. After
killing him then you will be prompted to switch to Trevor. Gently land the
chopper and pick up Franklin and Chop then fly back to the Airfield. When
you get there then the mission is successfully completed.

Finding and killing the brothers quickly is necessary to speed things
up. You can finish this under seven minutes if you're quick enough.

You need to kill all three brothers with a headshot. You absolutely
need to use Michael's Special for the first two brothers. Make sure
that each brother is in open space before trying to make the shot then
use the Special just long enough to shoot the head. When you face the
last one as Franklin then use an Assault Shotgun on him.

Don't kill any animals. Any roadkill you make on the way to the

You will start as Michael and your task is to drive to Paleto Bay. When you
get there then drop off Franklin at the marker. From here, go and park the
van near the bank entrance. Next, go inside the bank.
Eventually Packie will cut through the cage door and you can kick it in. As
you are getting the money a Police car shows up. Trevor scares them off and
they call for reinforcements. As Trevor then go to the vault. Michael
should be finished by then and will have over eight million dollars. You
will then start a cutscene of the reinforcements arriving. And there are a
lot of them.
But then the three of you emerge with some heavy firepower including a
Minigun. You will also be hit with a 5-Star Wanted Rating. Use the Minigun
to destroy the cars and kill the Cops. You will notice that each time you
get hit you lose a little of the take.
As you fight off the Cops then a Police chopper shows up. Destroy it then
run across the street to the apartment complex. As you get there you get a
message from Franklin. There are Cops in the water and you no longer can
use the boat to leave. You need to find another way out of Paleto Bay.
Proceed through the complex and blow apart the fences along the way. Kill
any Cop and destroy and Police cars you encounter with the Minigun. When
you get back to the street then destroy anything and everything that comes
to you. As you proceed up the street then the Army will come in to help
out.
Now you need to proceed through another alley. When it opens up then you
will encounter the Army. Kill off most of them with the Minigun. When you
kill off enough of them then the Army will bring in a tank. At this point
you will then be prompted to switch to Franklin.
When you switch to him you will be in a Dozer. Follow the path to the
others while either avoiding or running over the soldiers in your way. When
you get there then you pick up the guys. From here, you need to head to the
factory east of your position while avoiding the tanks. Thankfully this is
a short drive so they can't get a good bead on you.
Once inside the factory then you need to proceed to the train platform room
by room while fighting off the Army. Switch characters if you need to if
you run low on armor or health. When you get to the platform then hold off
the Army for awhile until the train shows up. When it shows up then get on.
You will then be whisked away from the area.
You will then meet up with another agent and be given your meager cut. You
will also be told that you will be called by Steve later. After the
cutscene then the mission is successfully completed.

Mary Ann appears in the daytime hours between 7:00 and 20:00.
This is a simple checkpoint triathlon race. Just quickly tap the Run Button
to speed through. If you maxed out your Stamina then you should have no

you will miss the Jump and Mary Ann will pass you. But you can still make
up some ground on her.
When you switch to the running portion you should be able to pass her since
you stop just ahead of where she stops. Continue following the path and
finish the race. Winning the race will successfully complete the encounter.

Ron informs Michael about the monthly train and Trevor fills him on the
details. Apparently there's gold on board and enough of it to pay off
Madrazo so they can go back to Los Santos. So now the gang go to acquire
the precious metal.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Combat MG.
--Heavy Sniper.
--Sticky Bomb.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start as Trevor and you need to get on the bike. Your next task is to
jump onto the train. You will catch up to the train at San Chianski
Mountain Range. There are multiple elevated ridges that you can use to get
onto the train. Because you are landing on a moving target this is tricky.
Once you get onto the train then you need to ride the bike to the front.
This is also tricky because the train is narrow. Take it moderately slow so
you can stay on it. When you get to the front then Trevor will take
control. Blow past the stop and continue onwards. Shortly after then you
will auto switch to Michael.
From here, head to the Rail Bridge. When you get there then the train will
wreck and some of it will drop to the water. Get to the orange container
and use a Sticky Bomb to blow open the doors. Then you will auto switch to
Trevor and you need to protect Michael from the Merryweather recovery crew.
Before they get there you should step off to the left a bit and climb onto
the higher rocks.
There will be three boats and a two helicopters. Using the Combat MG will
make quick work of them. After that then you will deal with some snipers on
the bridge. Switch to the Heavy Sniper and use the thermal scope to find
and kill them.
They are the reason you step onto the higher rocks. One of them will be
behind a beam. If you stayed put then you won't be able to shoot him - but
he can shoot you and more than likely kill you. By stepping left then you
can nail him.
After them more will arrive, this time from the air. Switch back to the
Combat MG and quickly deal with them. Another option is to stay with the
Heavy Sniper and snipe them. You can easily nail the pilot in the chopper
to bring it down and the parachuters go down in a straight line so you can
easily get them too.
After killing this group then things calm down. Wait for Michael to come to
you then get into the Dinghy. This will now begin a chase down the river
while being pursued by the Merryweather guys.
Although you can switch to Michael it may be best to stay with Trevor and
personally deal with them. You will notice that you can't lock onto any of
them. This will make hitting them a bit harder. But continue firing at the
boats and choppers to take them down.
Once you get to open waters then you will auto switch to Michael. If you
went with Michael from the start then you will still have to deal with two
Merryweather boats. You will then auto switch to Trevor so you can deal
with them.
Your boat will stop and the Merryweather personnel will rapidly catch up.
They move too fast for you to shoot at properly and they will cut you down
very quickly. This is why you should stick with Trevor from the start - so
you can get rid of them before you reach open waters.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-19">
After you reach open waters then you will auto switch back to Michael. From
here, head to the spot on the beach. When you get to the beach then go to
the Getaway Vehicles. This will start a cutscene.
Michael wants to take the loot to pay off Madrazo but Trevor wants none of
that and desires to keep it for himself. However, Michael promises him a
big score to compensate - the Union Depository. Trevor reluctantly agrees.
After the cutscene ends then the mission is successfully completed.

You need to reach the top speed on the Sanchez. This is fairly easy and

You need to land on the train on the first jump. This may take you a

When the gang arrives they find that they were supposed to bring additional
people for the gig. But wires got crossed between Steve and Dave so the
gang couldn't get who was needed. So now the agents have to go with the
trio to do this thing.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Stun Gun.
--Carbine Rifle.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start off as Michael and you need to drive the boat down the coast.
When you get to the marker then you need to dive into the water and go
through the discharge tunnel leading into the Humane Labs and Research
facility.
When you get there then you need to cut through the grate using a special
torch. You need to place the torch on each green dot to cut through. After
a few seconds then it will become a red line. Use the Fire Button just long
enough to cut through since you have a limited amount of fuel for the
torch.
After cutting through then you need to swim through the tunnel leading into
the Lab. When you get there then you need to make your way through the
facility. You will auto switch to a Stun Gun (regardless of whether or not
you already had one). As you proceed through the corridors you will
encounter civilians. Stun them to proceed forward.
Get to the Elevator. When it opens then stun the civilian and grab his
Security Card. When you get to the next floor then use the Stun Gun to take
down the two lab personnel. Proceed through the corridor and to a point
where you will need to take cover from the patrolling security. You can
either take them down or let them pass. I prefer to let them pass.
After that then proceed through the security door and to the room where the
gas is stored. You will get into a bit of a standoff with the person
inside. The door can only be opened from the inside and the civilian won't
cooperate. Another civilian will come through a nearby door. Zap him when
he exits. The other civilian will be intimidated enough to open the door.
Zap him and proceed to the Toxin.
After you get the Toxin then security will be alerted. Switch to your
Carbine Rifle. You now need to proceed through the facility taking down the
personnel as you go. When you get near the monkeys you should find some
Health on a wall.
Eventually you will get to the Loading Bay where plenty of security are
waiting. Carefully pick them off from cover until they are all gone. As you
are fighting them there should be some Health on the wall to your left just
after you enter the Bay. After the battle then place the Toxin in the
Refrigeration Unit outside.
When you place the Toxin safely inside then you will auto switch to Trevor
who is flying a Cargobob. Fly low enough to the container to trigger a
cutscene. Response teams have already got inside and Steve wants to abort
fearing a disaster. But Michael convinces him to come up with a solution.
Steve decides to stay behind to create a diversion.
After the cutscene then you need to fly to the Airfield. When you get there
then fly low enough to drop the crate on the trailer. Orientation doesn't
matter - just get low enough. After that then land the chopper. This will
start a cutscene.
After dropping off the crate then Michael gets a message from Lester. The
item taken from the last mission was enough to settle things with Martin
Madrazo. This will allow Michael to return to Los Santos. After the
cutscene then you will auto switch to Trevor who is in the process of
returning Mrs. Madrazo to her husband. Drive her to the Farm where Martin
is waiting.
Mrs. Madrazo has to keep her vow to her husband but Trevor is sad that he
has to return her. When you get to the Farm then the mission is
successfully completed.

>>Stunner
*******
You need to stun eight enemies with the Stun Gun. You need to take down
at least one of the security personnel on the second floor in addition
to the civilians.
>>Headshots (15)
**************
There are plenty of enemies near the end where you can get this
Requirement. You will probably need to use your Special at the Loading
Dock because of the large numbers of personnel and that you need to
kill them before your partners do.

At this point both Trevor and Michael can now return to Los Santos. In

"gangsta".
There should be only one mission on the map other than Lester so stay as
Trevor and head there.....

very bad from there.
When we see Trevor again he is gently closing the door on the apartment and
is also covered in blood. At this point Wade comes up. Trevor decides that
a new Safehouse is in order and takes Wade with him......

Get in your vehicle and drive to the Vanilla Unicorn. When you get there
then you start a cutscene of Trevor taking over the place. You will then

over the strip club. After the cutscene then the mission will be

Then drive over to the property and use a melee weapon, like a Baseball

When you start the mission you will start as Michael. There will also be a
clock on the screen that starts at noon. You can also switch to Trevor if
you want (he'll be driving to the Airfield).
From here, you need to drive to the Bank. The entrance to the bank is on
the upper level of road. When you get there then focus on the Bank. After
that then you need to get behind the place. It will be on the lower road
level. When you get there then focus on the back side of the Bank.
After that then you will auto switch to Trevor who will be driving towards
the Airfield. When you get to the Airfield then get into the Helicopter.
From here, fly to Murrieta Heights. When you get there then you will find
the convoy of Armored Cars going to the Bank.
Follow them but don't get too close or you will be warned. They will
eventually go into Swiss St. tunnel and out the other end. They will turn
left onto and Alta St. where Michael and Franklin will pick them up. After
the cutscene then fly back near the tunnel and find the Construction
Entrance. Hover low above it for awhile until Lester gets all he needs.
After that then fly back to the Airfield. You can switch back to Michael if
you want but you can just stay with Trevor (Michael will drive Franklin
back to his house to complete the mission). When you arrive and land at the
Airfield then the mission is successfully completed.

You need to follow the Armored Cars without being warned on distance.

You need to find the Construction Entrance within twenty seconds. After
the cutscene of the Armored Cars being received is finished then
sidestep the chopper left to quickly acquire the site.
>>Under the Bridge and Tunnel Flight
**********************************
You need to fly under the bridge and fly through the tunnel while
following the Armored Cars. This is the Power St. Bridge which is also
part of the Swiss St. tunnel. Flying through the tunnel and out towards
Alta St. will get you both of these Requirements at the same time.
The tunnel is tough to fly through because it is barely big enough to
handle the chopper but it can be done. You have to use first person
view to do this. Although tricky to fly through you don't have to be
perfect like the regular "Under the Bridge" activity covered earlier.
You can scrape along the ground as you fly and you should be fine.
>>Time (11:00)
************
Switch to Trevor and drive to the Airfield instead of using Michael. A
good shortcut to the Airfield is to turn off the Senora Freeway just
before the Prison and angle northwest across the land towards the
Airfield. This will save considerable time.
Finding the Construction Entrance and getting the footage quickly will
also help. You should also switch to Michael at the end of the mission
and drive Franklin to his house.

| Notes \
0=======================>
When doing a Mission Replay you will always start with the character you
didn't use in the initial play-through. If you used Michael in the initial
play-through then you will use Trevor in the Replay and vice versa.
In addition, if you wish to do a Replay you I recommend waiting until after
the mission "Fresh Meat". Remember, whatever armor and health you have at
the end of a mission you can carry over into a Replay. But you won't be
able to restore Michael's armor and health after this mission because he is
captured. Once you free him then you can do a Replay of this mission with
full armor and health.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The first part of this mission depends on what character you start with:
>>Michael
*******
Run out of the house and grab the first car you see off the street or
use one in your garage. From here, go to Los Santos International
Airport. As you drive he calls Trevor and tries to deal with him but
he refuses to listen. Then Michael calls Dave to tell him about what
has happened.
When you get to the Airport then go up to the second floor terminal.
He'll be tracked by some Chinese people who call him the
"girlfriend". When you arrive at North Yankton then drive to the
Ludendorff Cemetery. When you get there then you need to go to your
Grave to start a cutscene.
>>Trevor
******
You take Michael's car and drive out to Sandy Shores Airfield. When
you get there then get in the plane and take off. From here, then fly
to North Yankton. As you get close to the marker you will be texted
by Ron who informs you that the Chengs are looking for you. When you
get to the marker then you will automatically be at the Cemetery.
At the grave Michael finds Trevor digging it up. But, but despite Michael's
pleas, he eventually breaks through and finds the truth about who's in the
grave. It turns out to be Brad, who you already knew was dead but not
Trevor. This angers Trevor enough to pull a gun on Michael and both have a
standoff.
However, some Chinese guys show up to break the standoff. Trevor flees as
Michael takes cover behind a tombstone. Now you need to shoot your way out
but all you have is a Pistol, all of your other weapons were removed when
you flew up to North Yankton. Start off by killing the first two nearby
then grab the Assault Rifle, which has a good amount of ammo, from one of
them.
Then go back onto the upper part of the Cemetery and move to a gravestone
so you can use it as cover for the next part. More Chinese guys show up and
you need to kill them off from here. There are plenty of them but the
Assault Rifle should take them down quickly. After this then advance to the
center to face several more (and also pick up ammo from the dead bodies). A
couple of them will try to flank you so you will have to retreat a bit.
After this then continue to advance little by little picking off those you
encounter until you reach the parking lot. When you get to your car you
find it to be sabotaged by Trevor and Michael is captured. You then auto
switch back to Trevor who is flying back to Sandy Shores.
As you are flying you are then called by Wei Chang Sr., father of Tao
Cheng Jr. who Trevor dealt with earlier in the game and who sent the
Chinese goons you just had to deal with. Wei wants to move into Blaine
County but Trevor is in the way. So he tracked both Trevor and Michael.
When he couldn't get to Trevor he took Michael and now threatens to kill
him if he doesn't get what he wants. In light of recent events this amuses
Trevor and tells Wei he is going nowhere basically telling him to kill
Michael if he wants. After the call then you will get a text from Lamar
about the last car for Devin. Continue to fly and land at the Airfield.
When you reach the marker then the mission is successfully completed.

Start off as Trevor. Turning off Senora Freeway and shortcutting across
the land to the Airfield will save considerable time. Use of the
Assault Rifle on the goons to quickly kill them is also key to getting
this Requirement.
>>Headshots (20)

There are plenty of enemies so this shouldn't be too hard if you take
your time. Use the Pistol as this tends to be more accurate than the
Assault Rifle. Using your Special every so often will also help.

When Trevor arrives then he gets a message from Lamar. They managed to jack
the last car for Devin and they need Trevor to get the Packer so they can
take them to Paleto Bay.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
When doing a Mission Replay you will always start with Franklin. The Car is
nearby so quickly run to it which is faster than finding a car to jack
since there doesn't seem to be any cars nearby when you start.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you start as Trevor, and after the call, then you will auto switch to
Franklin who is driving near Vespucci Beach. From here, go and get the Car.
When you get the car then take it to the Garage. When you get there then
put it on the Packer.
After the short cutscene then you auto switch to Trevor and you need to
drive the Packer to the Drop-Off Point in Paleto Bay. The prescribed route
takes you along the west side of the state and along the Great Ocean
Highway. However, the best route is to go north along Strawberry Ave. and
onto Los Santos Fwy. The conversation that occurs between Lamar and Trevor
as you drive is one of the most amusing in the game.
As you pass Bolingbroke Penitentiary then the Cops get involved and you
will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Franklin decides to get out of the truck
and use the JB700 to get rid of the Cops. Slow down a lot and keep the
Packer steady enough to allow Franklin to get to the car. When Franklin
gets to the car then switch to him.
He will then back the car off the Packer and you can use the vehicle's
defenses to get rid of the Police. Even though you have front mounted guns
it is best to use the Spikes to get rid of the pursuit.
One very important thing to note: the Spikes have no effect on the Packer.
So go in front of the Packer, let it get up close behind you, then start
dropping Spikes. No matter how close the Police get to the rear of the
Packer you can easily blow out their tires and keep them at bay.
After you blow out enough Cops, usually about five or so, then you will
finally lose the Police and Franklin calls Molly with the news of their
arrival. When you get to the Procopio Truck Stop then go and meet Molly.
After the cutscene, in which Franklin and the crew gets ripped off, then
the mission is successfully completed.

You need to complete the mission with minimal damage to the JB700. One

you and a couple of shots is all it takes to deny you this Requirement.
So using the Spikes exclusively is probably the best way for this.

After Aunt Denise power walks past Franklin then Trevor shows up. When he
trips on the fence then Franklin laughs at him. This angers Trevor and he
gets up in Franklin's face. Franklin apologizes and Trevor calms down.
When the subject of Michael comes up then Trevor tells Franklin about the
Chinese and their kidnapping of him. When Franklin tells Trevor about
rescuing him then he tells Franklin off preferring to let Michael die than
to help him. Now Franklin has to find a way to rescue his friend......

One thing to do before doing this mission is to find the Raven
Slaughterhouse which is at the southeast corner of Orchardville Ave. and El
Rancho Blvd. in Cypress Flats. You'll be going there during the mission and
you'll need to do it fast without being able to use the standard GPS.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, Franklin calls Lester with the news about Michael's kidnapping
and uploads a Trackify app onto Franklin's phone. You need to use it to get
to Michael. After the conversation then you will auto switch to Michael who
is being held upside down.
The Cheng's have a brief conversation with him in an attempt to get to
Trevor. Michael tells them that this is a mistake. The Cheng's have had
enough and decide to kill Michael. A timer will then appear at the lower
right corner of the screen. If it runs out then Michael will die.
At this point then quickly switch to Franklin. When you switch back you
should be on Forum Drive and coming up to Carson Ave. You can turn on the
Trackify app if you want but this is the quickest route to get to Michael.
From where you start, turn left onto Carson Ave. and continue southeast
until Carson Ave. ends and then turn left onto El Rancho Blvd. Continue
east until you get to the Raven Slaughterhouse where Michael is being kept.
Go down Orchardville Ave. a little bit to find the front entrance where you
will find some goons.
Kill them with the Carbine Rifle and proceed into the building while
killing more. Continue to make your way through the building towards
Michael while killing any and all goons you encounter. When you get to
Michael you find that the machine jammed and that he is going nowhere. But
more goons show up and you need to throw some guns to Michael.
Once Michael gets the guns then you auto switch to him. Use the Combat
Pistols to kill any goons that appear. Use your Special Ability if you need
to, especially for the two that appear to the left. After you kill enough
of them then you will auto switch back to Franklin. Continue forward and
kill the next two goons.
However, Franklin is surprised by another who knocks him to the ground. He
then tries to use a knife on Franklin. The game then auto switches to
Michael and you need to kill the goon from long distance. Use your Special
Ability and kill him. Then Micheal will free himself.
Here you can use Michael or Franklin. I recommend switching to Franklin
because all Michael has for weapons is the Combat Pistol - Franklin has an
entire arsenal. From here, carefully go through the rest of the
Slaughterhouse and pick off the goons that try to stop you.
When you finally get outside then you need to take the sports car and drive
Michael back to his House. But, before you take the car, go to the front
of it and take cover.
A few moments later a couple of more goons will show up. Kill them quickly
then get in the car and zoom off. If you just took the car without killing
them then they will get in the other car nearby and chase you. Killing them
now will prevent the chase.
When you get to the House then you start a cutscene. Michael will briefly
explain to Franklin what happened in North Yankton years ago. After the
cutscene then the mission is successfully completed.

>>Switch Limiter
**************
You need to complete this mission without switching more than three
times. The one switch from Michael to Franklin within the
Slaughterhouse is probably all that you need to do.
>>Accuracy (70%)
**************
>>Headshots (10)
**************
There are plenty of goons so you have plenty of opportunities for this.
Try to get some with Michael while he is still hanging and use his
Special to make his shots count. Then get the remaining headshots on
the goons you encounter in the last part of the Slaughterhouse.
>>Swift Rescue
************
You need to rescue Michael within three minutes and thirty seconds.
Following the route will get you to the Slaughterhouse quickly then
rapidly kill the goons you encounter until you reach Michael and the
timer disappears.

Take the nearby SUV and give chase. The problem with this vehicle is that
it doesn't corner very well but you can still catch up to Rocco. When you
get to Rocco then get close enough to toss a Sticky Bomb on the car. Then
detonate it to get rid of Rocco and his fellow goon.
If he weaves too much to use the Bomb then switch to your Micro SMG and
quickly shoot up his car instead. Shoot up his car enough to get it to stop
and kill both Rocco and his friend when they get out.
After eliminating Rocco then quickly leave the area before the Cops get
involved. If they do then you will need to get rid of the Rating. When you
get enough distance, or you get rid of the Rating, then Michael calls
Solomon. Solomon then requests Michael to come up to his office. You can
accept if you want.
When you get to the office then Solomon will reveal to Michael a gift. He
has been given Associate Producer credit on the new "Meltdown" film. After
the cutscene then the mission is successfully completed.

After the opening cutscene then get in the car with Lester. From here, go
to the F.I.B. Building. As you go there then Lester informs Michael about
the temps that work there. Lester is looking for someone that they can turn
and this should give them a way into the building. Lester finds someone:
Harvey Molina, license plate 83QSL722.
When you get to the Building's parking lot then you need to wait for the
Janitor's Car to leave. When a car comes into view then focus on the car to
read the license plate. Harvey's car will be the fifth car to leave, a red
car that doesn't stop first before turning away. When you have properly
identified the car then follow it but keep a good distance away so you
aren't spotted.
He will eventually lead you to his apartment in Burton. Stop in the yellow
marker and get out of your car. Keep your distance and walk to his
apartment. After he gets inside then follow him. After the short cutscene
with Harvey then run back to your car.
From here, speed back to the Garment Factory to meet up with Franklin.
Lester needs the architect's plans of the F.I.B Building so he can bypass
the security. He even provides a name: Chip Peterson. Franklin will leave
to go to tail the guy. After the meeting ends then the mission is

Franklin will be just outside a large construction site and now needs to
get the plans from the architect.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Enter the site and tail Chip. Just after you enter then the foreman will
toss you a hard hat. Continue going after Chip. He will lead you to some
elevators. Take the other one and go up after him. When you get to the next
floor then he will talk to some workers. Just after that then he will enter
into an area that has no workers.
While in this area then run up and knock him out. Then grab the Briefcase
and run back to the elevator. When you get down then run due south to exit
the Construction Site. Then find any car and head back to the Garment
Factory.
When you get there then you need to plan the raid. There are two options:
The Fire Crew or The Roof Entry.
The Fire Crew Approach requires that you steal a Firetruck then enter the
Building, mop the floors, and plant firebombs. When the bombs are detonated
then you use the Firetruck and gain access as firemen then steal the drive
where the files are contained. For this Approach you only need two Gunmen.
The Roof Approach requires that you drop down onto the building then make
your way to the main computer and hack it on site. For this Approach you
need a Driver, Gunman, and a Hacker.
The money for the crew comes from the leftover Paleto Bay Score approved by
Steve. Whatever's left over can go to Michael and the rest. So a smaller
crew may give you more money. Below are my recommendations for each
Approach:
>>The Fire Crew Approach
**********************
--The Gunmen (Packie McReary, Gustavo Mota)
=========================================
For this I prefer to use the best ones and these guys are it,
especially since Packie should be completely maxed out.
>>The Roof Entry Approach
***********************
--The Hacker (Rickie Lukens)
==========================
Although not as good as Paige the Skill Increase he gained during
the Vangelico Heist makes him much better than before. Giving him
some more Skill should be useful for The Big Score later on.
--The Gunman (Packie McReary)
===========================
If you used him on both the Vangelico Heist and the Paleto Bay
Score then he should be completely maxed out thus making this a
no brainer.
--The Driver (Taliana Martinez)
*****************************
Although Eddie Toh is almost maxed out she is pretty much right
there behind him and for far cheaper. Giving her some Skill
Increase now can be very useful for The Big Score later on.
After choosing the Approach then the mission is successfully completed.

| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Quick Getaway
*************
You need to leave the Construction Site within forty five seconds.
After you get your hard hat then immediately run up and attack Chip
then grab his Briefcase.
At this point you will piss off all of the other workers and initiate a
2-Star Wanted Rating. Run back to your car to successfully get this
Requirement. Since this is the only Requirement you can take your time
with the rest of the mission.

Just like you did with the Blitz Play Heist you need to find a suitable
getaway vehicle and park it in a discreet location. It needs to be a four
door vehicle and cannot be any of the characters main cars.
After you acquire one then you need to find a safe place to put it. As with
the last time, I am going to park it in a specific place because that is
where it will always be when doing a Mission Replay.
Go to the intersection of Tower Way and Labor Place in Murrieta Heights. You
should see a sign for East Los Santos Foundry at the southeast corner. Go
west on Labor Place and you should see the entrance, which should be to your
left, after a short distance. Turn south through the entrance and then angle
southeast past the concrete barrier.
You should see an area between two buildings You should also see the words
"Keep Clear" on the ground just ahead of you. Park the car just beyond the
words.

Go to the intersection of Vespucci Blvd. and Popular St. which is next to

to your location. If things go right then the Firetruck should approach
from the east.
When it stops in or near the intersection then jack it and drive to the
bridge tunnel under Vespucci Blvd. next to the Factory while avoiding
traffic. At this point you will get at least a 1-Star Wanted Rating that
you need to get rid of before proceeding.
After parking the vehicle then get out and run to the LS River to avoid the
Cops that will come looking for you. After the Rating disappears then go
back to the Firetruck. Get back in then get back out to successfully

| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to the F.I.B. Building. You'll already be dressed at a janitor
so you should have no problems getting in. Go past the turnstiles and to
the Elevator. When you get to the floor that you are supposed to be on then
go and grab the Mop. Go to the Office Floor and start mopping.
The game will give you instructions on how to mop the floor. Clean up the
first spot and after a few swings on the second one then you will dirty the
Mop and you need to clean it. Go back to the bucket to clean it and finish
the remaining spot. You can avoid this by cleaning the Mop after removing
the first spot.
When the floor are clean then plant the first bomb in the nearby Locker.
From here, head to the next area. The next four spots are pretty spread out
so take the bucket with you to each one instead of going back and forth.
When the last one is gone then plant the next bomb in the Restroom.
Now head back to the Closet. After dropping off the Mop and Bucket then go
back to the Elevator and leave the building. When you get to the marker
then Michael will call Franklin with the news. You will then auto switch to
Franklin who will be dressed as a fireman and driving the Firetruck. Go and
pick up Michael nearby.
Then pull up your phone and Detonate the bombs which will prompt emergency
services. Lester hijacked the signal so only the gang will the ones to
enter the Building. When you get to the Building then run inside. Go to the
Elevator and head up to the upper floors. When you get to Floor 47 then you
will notice an Oxygen Meter at the lower right corner of the screen. If it
runs out then you die.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-20">
From this point then you need to run to the other end of the floor to find
the stairwell and climb up to Floor 53. When you get there then go to the
southeast corner to find the Server Room. It's locked so use a Sticky Bomb
to blow open the door. After that then go inside and retrieve the
Containment Drive.
Now follow Michael out of the building. When you get down to the next floor
you will find that the stairs have collapsed. You need to find another way
out. Get out of the stairwell and to a stuck door. When you manage to break
it down then the force will knock down one of your Gunmen. Pick him up then
continue.
Run through the burning hallways until you reach a collapsed floor that you
can take down to the next one. Continue following your Crew. At some point
there will be an explosion that will knock out Franklin. When he wakes up
then he finds that the Crew are way ahead of him.
Unfortunately, the F.I.B. are onto you and you will encounter agents along
the way. Switch to your Carbine Rifle or Combat MG and take them down as
you run along the way. When you find the rest of the Crew then you need to
climb the rubble. After climbing the rubble then run to the Elevator Shaft.
Now you need to rappel down it to safety. When you get down to the basement
then run back up to ground floor and out of the building. Then get back in
your Firetruck and drive to the parked getaway car. When you get to your
ride then plant a Sticky Bomb on the side. Get into your car, drive a short
distance, and blow up the Firetruck.
From here, drive to Lester's House. When you get there then you start a
cutscene that successfully completes the mission.

0=======================>
Because skill levels will be reset when doing Mission Replays I recommend
using Paige instead of Rickie if you need to do one.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, leave the Factory and enter your car. Wait for Franklin to enter
first before leaving. Your next destination is the N.O.O.S.E. Headquarters.
When you get there then get in the helicopter and fly to the Drop Zone. You
also have to fly real high too so just getting to point isn't enough.
When you get there then the pilot takes the stick and you need to jump out
of the chopper. From here, you need to land on the F.I.B. Building's roof.
Free-fall for a few seconds then open the parachute. Angle your way down
then use precision landing to land on the roof. When you land then you will
make your way inside.
Go to the Server Room but the door is locked. Plant a Sticky Bomb, get a
safe distance, then blow open the door. This will set off the alarms but go
inside the room to find the Terminal. Highlight My Computer then highlight
the external device to bring up two programs.
Use the HackConnect program first. There will be four numbers at the top of
the screen. You need to match these numbers to the same four number
sequence that is in the mass of numbers in the center of your screen. These
numbers shift around so this part is tricky. Look for a number out of those
four that is easy to spot then find it in the mass. Once found then quickly
determine if this is the string before proceeding.
After you get in then activate the BruteForce program. You'll see a bunch
of columns with letters going down the screen. One of the letters in each
column is red. You need to press your button when the red letter is in the
highlighted row in the center of the screen.
When you have successfully gained the password then use the Down&Out
program to download the files and erase them from the database. It will
take two minutes for the job to be done. However, the F.I.B. are onto you
and will now start attacking. You need to hold them off while the download
is going on.
You can switch to Franklin any time if you want or need to. I prefer to
stay as Michael and use the wall as cover and pick off those that come into
view using the powerful Assault Shotgun.
During the firefight your chopper will come down to the roof but the F.I.B.
shoot it down. Continue the firefight until the download is complete. When
the download is complete then go back to grab the phone. Now you need to
get out of the building.
Go down the stairwell and kill anybody you come across. Eventually you will
come to the floor where the chopper crashed. Rickie failed to turn off the
sprinklers which can hamper your vision. But the use of the flashlight on
your weapons and Assisted Aiming will compensate for that. Kill any agent
that you find and proceed to the end of the floor.
After the short cutscene then you will be down on the next floor. Continue
along the path and you will find a paramedic with a Health kit (leave him
alone). Continue along the path and take down all agents you encounter.
Eventually you'll get to the stairwell and go down the next floor. Kill the
next two agents you encounter and you'll enter a room where can rappel down
the building.
When you get down near the bottom then you'll need to destroy the attack
chopper. Although the game prompts you to use an assault rifle the Combat
MG should be used on it. After you shoot down the chopper then go and drop
down to the ground. After that then go to the Getaway Vehicle. You'll have
to kill off several more agents before you can get there.
After you kill them off then you should find an Ambulance. Get inside the
Ambulance, which Taliana provided, and drive to Franklin's house. This will
start a cutscene that successfully completes the mission.

Michael will then call Dave to tell him that the deed's done and that he's
out. Dave will tell Michael that the repeated attacks by Trevor on
Merryweather have gotten them to snoop around Dave's office. This sets up a
meeting at the Kortz Center.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to the Kortz Center then go over to Dave. He will be on the
upper level at the southeast corner and you have to get there on foot. Run
along the east side of the building and through the center to get to the
stairs to go up to Dave. You need to take the stairs west of Dave to go up.
The stairs to the north of him are blocked off. When you get to Dave then
you will start a lengthy cutscene.
Michael wants to be cut loose but Dave tells him it won't be that simple.
As they haggle then Steve shows up. He is pissed that these activities has
ruined his career and wants both Dave and Michael arrested. Both Dave and
Michael pull guns on both Steve and Agent Sanchez. As the standoff
continues then the I.A.A. show up and this complicates things. Then the
F.I.B. show up. Then Merryweather show up.
Then the shit hits the fan and a major shootout begins.
Stay behind cover and pick off those nearby with the Assault Shotgun (which
will kill them quicker). As the shootout continues you find that the
stairway you came up on has been hit by a helicopter and you have been cut
off. You need to make your way to another part of the building so you can
make your way down to meet Dave.
When you reach your destination then you will be ambushed by a Merryweather
chopper. At that point you will auto switch to.....
.....Trevor who is operating a Sniper Rifle. Snipe the pilot to bring down
the chopper. Now snipe all of the SWAT who show up nearby below. After
sniping them all then the game will prompt you to go to Michael. Switch to
him and use the Combat MG and proceed further into the center of the
complex.
When another chopper shows up then use the Minigun to quickly shoot the
pilot and bring it down. Then switch back to the Combat MG and continue to
the other side and to the stairs. When you get down then kill any nearby
gunmen and get to Dave. When you get to Dave then kill any gunmen that show
up and use the Minigun again on the next chopper that appears.
The game will prompt you to switch to Trevor so go to him. Use the Assault
Shotgun and quickly kill the two on the balcony nearby. This will prompt an
auto switch back to Michael. Follow Dave to the lower parking area. Here
you will need to kill off several more Merryweather goons. Use of the
Assault Shotgun and your Special should take care of them.
During this then you will be prompted by Trevor to go to Morningwood. After
the last of the Merryweather goons go down then take one of the nearby
vehicles, preferably a fast car, and leave. After a short distance then a
Merryweather chopper will appear.
You can either try to lose it or shoot it down. I highly recommend shooting
it down because it shoots both Machine Guns and Rockets and it is tough to
lose plus you can't go to Trevor until it is gone one way or the other.
Immediately stop *BUT* wait for Dave to pass you by before you get out or
he will run you over and you will die. Switch to your Minigun and shoot
down the chopper when it turns the corner before it can take off too much
health. After this then get back into your vehicle and head to Trevor. When
you get to him then you will start a cutscene.
After all that has happened the only reason Trevor came back to save
Michael is for The Big Score that was promised to him. This prompts a
conference call to Lester. After the cutscene ends then you will
successfully complete the mission.

Running along the prescribed path to Dave will save some time. Killing
everybody quickly and destroying the last chopper quickly are also keys
to this Requirement.

You need to shoot down the pursuing helicopter. You pretty much have to
destroy him to have a chance to successfully complete the mission so
this should be considered automatic.

After some time has passed then Michael will pull up his phone to start a
conversation with Dave. Dave believes that he can pin their activities on
the now dead Agent Sanchez which should clear everybody. But he also warns
Michael about Trevor. Trevor is uncontrollable and may need to be dealt
with in the near future.
Since your activities with the F.I.B. are at an end it is finally time to
go to the marker at your home.....

While Michael sleeps on the couch then Jimmy enters the house. Jimmy rants
on about his life for awhile much to Michael's dismay. Then Jimmy tells him
that Amanda is still mad at him and wants him to do something about it.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, go to the Bean Machine where Amanda is waiting. Use your
Tailgater as you will need a four door car. When you get to the Bean
Machine then you start a cutscene with Amanda and Fabian. Michael takes
care of the arrogant Fabian then talks to Amanda as he wants another chance
with her. She recommends Dr. Friedlander's office where they can talk
things out together. Michael agrees.
After the cutscene then go to the Tattoo Parlor where Tracy is supposed to
be at. When you get there then you find Lazlow trying to get Tracey to do
something in order to get back on his show - something sexual. This,
obviously, upsets Micheal and tells Jimmy to block off the inkslinger while
he does some work of his own - on Lazlow.
The game will give you instructions on piercing Lazlow's body parts -
eyebrow, ear, and nose. After this then Michael will rip off Lazlow's shirt
and you need to tattoo either his chest or back. You need to hold the Right
Analog Stick in the assigned position for a few seconds before the next
command moves along. After that then you need to cut off Lazlow's ponytail.
Then Michael will demand that Tracey be put back on the show - without any
additional shenanigans. From here, go to Dr. Friedlander's office. When you
get there then you start a cutscene in the doctor's office with the family.
After the cutscene then take the family home. When you get back to the
house then the mission is successfully completed.

When Trevor gets up to the top of Mt. Haan then he meets Mary Ann. She is
not impressed with the person who is supposed to be riding bikes with her.
He then punches him and she freaks out. This still doesn't stop her from
challenging him to a race though.....

Mary Ann appears in the daytime hours between 7:00 and 20:00.
You will now get into a bicycle checkpoint race with her. Simply follow the
checkpoints down the hillside. This is a fairly simple course but you
really won't be able to break away from her until near the last part. If
you win the race then the encounter is successfully completed.

After the call then go to Tracey who is over at the Vinewood Plaza. When
you get there then get into her car and go over to the Hawaiian Snow store
nearby to look for the Stalker. He isn't there so go to the marker near a
construction site. He isn't there either so go over to the Rockford Plaza.
He isn't here so go to the marker north of the mall.
When you get there then the Stalker shows up and passes you. Blow out one
of his tires with your Micro SMG to get his car to stop then chase him
down. You can either kill him or let him run off - your choice. After
dealing with him then go back to Tracey. If you got a Wanted Rating while
dealing with the Stalker then you need to lose it first.
After losing the Rating then take Tracy home to successfully complete the
mission (and get a Gold Medal).

When Michael arrives at the studio he finds Devin there. Devin informs him
that the reason he was hooked up with Solomon was to keep the "Meltdown"
production around long enough to allow for total shutdown.
Devin and his investors want to pull the plug, get a handsome insurance
payout, and get Solomon's son on board with dismantling the studio and
putting condos in its place. Molly takes the film from Solomon and leaves.
When Devin makes a yogi position this angers Michael enough to run off
after Molly and retrieve the film.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
If you haven't done so you may want to mod your standard Tailgater with
improved engines as well as bulletproofing and take it with you to the Film
Studio. If you do a Mission Replay then you will find that your Tailgater
won't be in the lot waiting for you. Use the yellow car as this has better
handling than the white one closest to you.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Take one of the fast cars from the lot and speed to the Airport. Along the
way Devin will warn you to stop but Michael won't listen. When you get to
the Airport then you need to chase Molly. Molly will have a Police escort
but she has flipped out because of your pursuit.
When you get close to the tarmac then you will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating
which will change to 3-Star when you get on the tarmac. Molly will also go
all over the Airport tarmac destroying things as she goes. A Weazel news
chopper is on the scene and you can view the chase from there if you want.
Continue to follow her as close as you can but still avoid the devastation
she causes. Eventually she will stop behind Devin's hangar. She runs inside
and you need to follow her in. Continue running until you find her.
However, she gets sucked into a jet engine and drops the Film Reel. Pick it
up and get into the nearby private jet. Quickly take off and fly west away
from the Airport at top speed to lose the 3-Star Wanted Rating. When the
Rating disappears then the mission is successfully completed.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Time (5:30)
***********
Keep up with Molly the whole way and not use the Weazel chase view as
this can slow you down. You also need to lose the Wanted Rating
quickly. If you are re-acquired at any time then you won't get this
Requirement as you will need to lose the Rating again from scratch and
this will cost too much time.
>>Floor It
********
You need to reach the top speed in any car. You can easily do this with
any of the fast cars available in the lot or with your own modded
vehicle.
>>Clean Escape
************
You need to lose the Wanted Rating within two minutes. Taking the
private jet and flying west at top speed away from the Airport is the
best way to get this Requirement. Keep low until the Cops lose sight of
you then rapidly gain altitude.
At some point the game will spawn a Police chopper to find you.
However, gaining altitude will reduce their chances of seeing you and
you will be slowed down as you climb which will give you a better
chance of avoiding it.
>>News Hound
**********
You need to view the Weazel News camera for fifteen seconds. I
recommend doing this on the tarmac where you have some room to
maneuver. It also doesn't have to be at one time. A few seconds here
and there will do the trick.

Since you will be in the air at this point then fly over to the Sandy
Shores Airfield. While in the air Michael calls Solomon. Michael's got the
print but Solomon informs him that they already had multiple digital prints
as backup. The edit is almost finished and Solomon plans a premiere before
Devin can do anything else about it. However, the premiere won't happen
until certain things are done.
Land the airplane at Sandy Shores Airfield and check LCN Exchange.
According to Jozzborne the stock for FlyUS will immediately crash to about
half of its original value (its original value is whatever it was at the
start of the mission - this can vary from play-through to play-through).
After it crashes then immediately invest all of your money into this stock.
Unlike with Bilkinton, though, you cannot just sleep for days and wait for
it to recover. You must progress through the Main Story in order for it to
bounce back. Fortunately, it is only a couple of missions from this point.
Because of this it is *VERY* important that when you invest with Franklin
you *MUST* leave at least $50 in your account otherwise you may end up in
negative money. I'll explain why later.
Switch to Franklin and do his next mission.....

Lamar is in trouble but Franklin doesn't want to do anything with him.

0=======================>
If you haven't done so you may want to mod your standard Buffalo with
improved engines and suspension as well as roll cages and bulletproofing.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
To start, get inside your Buffalo and go the Sawmill which is near Paleto
Bay. This is where Lamar is being held. As you head there then Franklin
will call Lester. Lester informs him that there is a major weed operation
out there and that it may be a large one. Franklin will also ask him to
bring both Michael and Trevor in on this.
There are two methods to doing this mission:
>>The Standard Method
*******************
When you get to the Sawmill then you will auto switch to Trevor. You
need to find an assault position. There are three on your screen.
Michael notes that the one by the road fork is the most heavily
guarded. The one to the north has a bulldozer that can be used. The
last one is by the railroad.
Put Trevor by the road fork and you will auto switch to Franklin. Put
him by the Dozer to the north then give the signal. Now you can
switch to either Michael or Trevor. Go to Trevor and start your
assault. Use your Combat MG and activate your Special to quickly take
down the initial group of Ballas.
Continue around the south side of the facility killing Ballas as you
go. When you get to the east side then you find Lamar but there are
some snipers on the rooftop. Switch to Michael and take down all you
can see, especially those on the rooftops. Then switch to Franklin
and go rescue Lamar, killing any and all Ballas in the way.
From here, go lead Lamar out of the facility. But the Ballas won't
let you get away that easily. Continue killing them as you make your
way down to the main entrance. You'll need to use cover as there are
a lot of them. As you head west then more of them show up in cars but
kill them while they are still inside to make things easier.
Then Michael will alert the others that his position has been
compromised. Quickly switch to him, switch to your Combat MG, and
kill any and all Ballas that threaten him. When they are gone then
you will auto switch back to Franklin. From here, take Lamar back to
the neighborhood.
>>Going In Through the Back Door
******************************
The GPS path winds its way through the center of the state. It will
also take you near Stab City. Just before the turnoff to Stab City
you should get to the railroad tracks.
Veer left off the road and gently get up onto the tracks then speed
north on them. The tracks take you right behind the Sawmill. When you
get to the Sawmill then drop down into the lower area at the
southeast corner of the facility.
This will automatically alert the Ballas to your presence. Both
Michael and Trevor will automatically be at their positions and begin
their attack. Use your Micro SMG to take down a couple of Ballas from
the safety of your vehicle before the snipers show up. Then switch to
Michael and snipe them before switching to either Franklin or Trevor.
Rescue Lamar and kill the remaining Ballas. When they are gone then
go back to your modded Buffalo and get back onto the train tracks.
Retrace your path back to Senora Road and back to the neighborhood.
Regardless of method, when you get back to the neighborhood then you start
a cutscene. Franklin and Lamar have an argument about friendship and
loyalty. After awhile then Franklin leaves but he encounters both Steve and
Dave from the F.I.B. They want Franklin to kill Trevor but only when the
time is right. This further upsets Franklin. When the cutscene finishes
then the mission is successfully completed.

>>Headshots (18)
**************
>>Accuracy (70%)
**************
>>Three Way
*********
You need to kill an enemy with all three characters.
>>Time (13:30)
************
The Back Door Method is an excellent way to save time as you are going
on a direct route to and from the Sawmill and you don't have to waste
time setting up everybody. There is also a neat shortcut near the
beginning you can take as well.
Remember the earlier mission "Caida Libre"? In it you had to go down a
drainage channel while chasing the plane. Well, along the way as you
head up Baytree Canyon Road you find the same channel. Just before the
channel you need to get behind the guard rail then enter the channel
and go straight to Senora Road then turn north.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
You lose $50 (you gave that to Lamar).
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
Giving some money to Lamar here is why you need to keep at least $50 in
your account if you put all of your money into FlyUS - so you can account
for this. If you still manage to end up in negative money then you may need
to attack a few peds or go to the Banning Hidden Package (which is not far
from where you end the mission) to get enough cash to climb back over into
positive money.
**NOTE: It is my understanding that one of the recent patches may have
fixed the negative money issue.
You will also get a text from Jimmy. They're getting ready for the movie
premiere. So switch to Michael and start the next mission.....

0=======================>
When you get to the house you need to stop right at the marker. If you stop
just short of it then run inside the house you will find that the timer
will continue and you can't kill anybody regardless of where you are
shooting him and with what weapon. The game is still assuming that you are
driving to the house even though you are inside.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start the mission off at Ponsonbys. Go inside and buy the Tuxedo
(regardless of whether or not you have the money to do so - it'll be put on
a card if you are broke). After that then you will be picked up by a limo
and be taken to the theater. When you get there then go on the Red Carpet.
Things are going great for once.
But then Devin shows up and sneers that Michael's "wife is stuck at home".
Michael knows what that means: Amanda is in trouble. From here, you need to
go home. There will also be a two minute timer at the lower right corner of
the screen. Take the fast car that is parked behind the limo and speed back
to your place.
When you get to the house you find a couple of Merryweather jeeps in front.
Switch to your Combat MG and head inside (which will also stop the timer).
Amanda is fighting off one of the goons on the stairs. Use your Special and
take him down with a headshot. Then switch it off and go to Tracey's room.
Use your Special again and take down this goon with a headshot.
After this then you need to clear the house of Merryweather goons. Switch
to your Assault Shotgun and wait. Start with the one coming up the stairs.
Then go downstairs and kill off the five there. It should be noted that
they are armored so it will take some shots to bring them down. The use of
the Assault Shotgun should take them down quickly.
After clearing the house then go outside through the back. Kill those
nearby and then head towards the front. A couple of jeeps will appear with
more goons. Use cover and kill the remaining goons. When they are gone then
you need to go to your Family still upstairs. When you get there then you
start a cutscene.
One of the Merryweather goons gets the drop on Michael but then the lights
go out. A mysterious figure with Night Vision Goggles comes up from behind
and takes down the goon. It's Jimmy who saves the day and Michael will get
the family to safety. When the cutscene ends then the mission is
successfully completed.

>>Time (6:30)

Use of the Assault Shotgun kills them quickly enough to make this
Requirement easy.
>>Pedal to the Medal
******************
You need to reach top speed in any vehicle. This is a problem even with
the fast vehicle since the distance to your house is short and Eclipse
Blvd. is very crowded. The best thing to do is to quickly head south to
Spanish Ave. then go to your house. There is little traffic on the
street and you can easily hit top speed before you get there (and you
will still have plenty of time to boot).
>>Tier One Operator
*****************
You need to kill twelve enemies with a headshot. There aren't a lot of
goons so you will have to make each opportunity count. With each enemy
use your Special just long enough to shoot his head then deactivate.
>>Headshot Rescue

You need to rescue Amanda and Tracey with a headshot.

After the mission Michael will call Lester from the Del Perro Pier. He is
very upset that Devin sent men to kill his family but still wants to do The
Big Score before his feud with Devin becomes too much of a problem. This
sets up a marker at the Vanilla Unicorn. Also, the movie "Meltdown" can now
be watched at any Movie Theater.
In addition, the stock for FlyUS will bounce back up to its original
pre-"Legal Trouble" levels. So go to each character and sell your shares to
double your money.
Later, you will get phone calls from Amanda and Tracey. Eventually you will
get a phone call from Jimmy. However, he is in trouble and this sets up the
next optional mission.....

"Meltdown" / "Parenting 101" are the last Main Story missions prior to The
Big Score. However, there are other things that can be done here beforehand.
The first thing is the remainder of Lester's Assassination missions.
As I wrote earlier most people prefer to save these until after the Finale
because that is when you will paid for The Big Score and use all of the money
you have earned up to that point to invest in stock and make billions of
dollars.
But, if you're like me, you may want to have the Finale mission be the last
thing to do and earn your 100% Completion Score there. In this case this is
the latest you should do Lester's missions. You can still earn more than
enough money to buy the necessary Businesses for Completion percentage (I'll
go over them after Lester's missions).
If you followed my advice prior to the first Assassination Mission then you
should have a lot of money entering the remaining four missions. During these
missions you may acquire the following Accomplishment in the process:
>>A Lot of Cheddar
****************
For this one you need to spend at least $200 million across all three
characters. However, by the time you get to the last Assassination
Mission, you should be spending a lot of money buying up and selling
stock. And you should probably cross this threshold while doing that.
If you don't have this Accomplishment by the end of the last
Assassination Mission then go back to the LCN Exchange and choose any
stock. Then buy all of it until you are broke. Once that is done then
immediately sell it. Then buy it back again. Then sell it again. And so
forth.
Each time you buy stock it will count towards this Accomplishment.
Selling it will not subtract from it. For example, if you spend $40
million in stock, sell it, then spend $40 million again it will count
$80 million towards the Accomplishment.
Do the buy/sell a few times and the Accomplishment should pop up.
Credit for this particular method goes to DavoK87 and x S 7 R I K E Z
over at www.xboxachievements.com.
Before moving onto the second of Lester's missions you should invest all of
your money into Debonaire which can be found on the LCN Exchange.....

When Franklin picks up the phone Lester informs him that Redwood Cigarettes
has rigged a jury for a court case regarding a payout for helping sufferers
of their cigarettes. Lester wants them dead so they can be helped out and
also throws a tidbit towards Franklin about helping investors of their

To start, go to Vespucci Beach and kill the bodybuilder there. There will
also be a nine minute timer at the lower right corner of the screen - this
is how long you have to kill all of the tainted jurors.
When you get to the first Juror then use your Micro SMG to kill him. If you
miss then he will run for it but you can just run him over to take him
down. After Juror 1 is dead then you will get a message from Lester about
the second Juror. He will be on a yacht near the Redwood Inn north of your
current position.
When you get there then park in the parking lot, get out of your vehicle,
then kill the Juror from afar with your Sniper Rifle. After Juror 2 is dead
then go to Vinewood Hills. When you get there then look for a window washer
on the building there. Snipe him and go after the last Juror. He will be on
a bike in Vinewood Hills. Knock him off the bike to kill him and
successfully complete the mission.

Now go back to your Safehouse. Wait for Debonaire to get to about 80%
profit before selling (this takes about a day or so). After selling all of
that stock then buy all the Redwood stock you can. It usually bottoms out
between $30 and $45. Sleep a few days or so and it will rebound to around
300% profit. Sell all of that stock at this point.
If you have internet access then go to BAWSAQ and buy up all of the Fruit
stock you can. If you don't have internet access then you will have to skip
this step.

then it is not Skinner. Skinner will arrive in a convertible which is a
major clue.
When he arrives then she will get into his car. While she is getting inside
the car then kill him with a headshot. After killing him then leave the

Lester now wants you to kill off Isaac Penny, a ruthless vulture capitalist
who is about to take control of Vapid motors. Penny also plans to lay off
thousands of workers and this pisses off Lester. However, despite his
riches, Penny prefers to live cheaply often taking the bus to and from
work. This gives Franklin the angle he needs to "drop Penny off where he
needs to go".....

After the call then go and get the Bus in La Mesa. When you get the Bus
then drive it to each stop until Penny gets on board. He gets upset over
the fare and leaves. He then steals a bike and flees. Now you can take him
down.
The best thing to do is to run him off the bike using the Bus. When he is
killed then get out of the Bus, take the bike, and flee. After you get far
enough away then Franklin will call Lester with the news. This will end the

After that then go to LCN Exchange and buy up all of the Gold Coast stock
you can. This will set you up for the next, and last, Assassination

Lester's last target is Enzo Bonelli, a mob guy that has become a real
estate developer. He has used his mob tactics to bully around the general
business community and Lester wants him exterminated. He will be at a large
construction site but Lester's informant squealed and Bonelli is expecting
a hit. This complicates things a bit but that should be no problem for a
professional like yourself.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
Reader Sterling P. de Mille came up with a wonderful way to quickly do this
on the initial playthrough.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are two ways to do this depending on your personal style:
>>The Buzzard Method (Initial Playthrough Only)
*********************************************
Before going to the marker you need to bring a Buzzard with you. Land
the chopper on the railroad tracks nearby then pick up the phone. Fly
the Buzzard to the marker in Pillbox Hill and gently land on it to
trigger the cutscene. After the cutscene then switch to Rockets and
gently fly straight up.
When you get to the top then use the Rockets to quickly destroy the </pre><pre id="faqspan-21">
chopper. It is important to note that you can actually lock onto the
enemies with the Rockets during this mission which greatly simplifies
and speeds up things. After destroying the chopper then quickly fly
away before you take too much damage from the survivors (if any).
The reason that this method only works on the initial playthrough is
that on a replay you will not be allowed to go to the N.O.O.S.E.
Building to get a Buzzard. If you go too far away from your target
then you will fail the mission.
>>The Standard Method
*******************
After picking up the call then go to the Construction Site. When you
get there then you need to get inside. You can go through any
entrance. However, expect to meet resistance from the goons.
But the safest entrance is the one at the southwest corner which, by
the way, is also the one closest to the elevator you need to take up
to get to Enzo. When you get to the next level then you need to fight
off several goons and get to the next elevator which will take you to
the rooftop. Use of the Assault Shotgun works well here.
Kill off the two goons that come down the next elevator and then take
it up. When you get to the rooftop then you will encounter several
more goons including a sniper on the crane. Enzo will also be fleeing
in a helicopter.
Quickly switch to the Minigun and destroy the helicopter which will
also kill Enzo. Then kill everybody else before leaving the area. You
can either jump down using the provided Parachutes nearby (unless you
have one of your own) or take the elevator down. When you get out of
the area then Franklin will call Lester which will also successfully
complete the mission.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>No Fly Zone
***********
You need to shoot down the Target's helicopter. But that's not all. You
need to jump off of the building instead of taking the elevator down.
If you take the elevator down then you won't get the Requirement and
the bonus money. If you use the Buzzard then you will get this
automatically.
0=======0
| Reward \
0=======================>
$8,000 plus $2,000 for destroying the chopper for a total of $10,000.

Go back to your Safehouse then sleep until the Gold Coast stock peaks. This
should be around 80% or so. When that happens then sell the stock.
If you saved the "Hitch Lift 1" Random Event Encounter until this point and
you have internet access then go to BAWSAQ and buy up as much Tinkle stock
as you can. Do the Encounter and your stock should go up around 33% or so.
When that happens then sell the stock.
With that done, let's proceed.....

Now that I've done the remainder of the Assassination Missions and made my
money I will now focus on the remaining four Businesses for Completion
percentage and acquire the two Accomplishments related to them.
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| A. McKenzie Field |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Switch to Trevor and purchase McKenzie Field in Grapeseed. You will now open
up the Arms Shipment tasks which are Non-Random. There will be a plane in the
hangar and a Dune Buggy nearby.
There will be five different scenarios for each vehicle. These tasks are not
required for 100% Completion but doing all ten scenarios will earn you the
{TP Industries Arms Race} Accomplishment.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
When using the plane you need to take off, do the drop, and then land the
plane back at the Field and taxi it into the hangar to successfully complete
the task. You will earn $7,000 plus additional bonuses for time and accuracy.
You have a limited number of packages to drop so make them count. Below are
the five scenarios for the plane:
0===========================================================================0
| Scenario #1 | You need to make a couple of simple weapons drops similar |
| | to what you did in the mission "Nervous Ron". |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #2 | You need to make three weapons drops but you have to fly |
| | low to avoid detection on the Feds radar. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #3 | This time you need to drop bombs on some rivals. Get into |
| | the zone, which is much smaller than a regular drop, and |
| | drop a bomb then use the Left Analog Stick to guide it into |
| | the center of the area to destroy everybody. Be careful, |
| | they will shoot back at you. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #4 | You have to drop bombs again but this time on a group of |
| | boats and a moving train. Destroy the train first before it |
| | moves too far away. Get in behind it and drop the bomb |
| | close to it. It doesn't have to be a direct hit - just |
| | close enough to destroy it. Then go after the boats since |
| | they are stationary. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #5 | Rivals have taken over the Sandy Shores Airfield and you |
| | need to get rid of them using carpet bombs on the targets |
| | below. You need to line yourself with a group of targets |
| | before dropping the bomb. This is easily the hardest of all |
| | of the Arms Shipment tasks. |
0===========================================================================0
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
The second vehicle for the Arms Shipment is the Dune Buggy. The main thing to
do here is to quickly get the Arms Package drop and drive back to the Field
before your rivals can get there. You will get $5,000 for each task completed
but there are no additional bonuses. Below are the five scenarios for the
Buggy:
0===========================================================================0
| Scenario #1 | You need to get to an Arms Package before the competition |
| | does. Pick it up then drive back to the Field. You will |
| | have to cut across the land to your destination to avoid |
| | potential Cop involvement since they will be watching the |
| | roads. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #2 | A rival found out about a drop and you need to beat them to |
| | it. The fact that the Cops won't be watching the roads will |
| | make beating them to it easy by taking a direct route to |
| | the Package. After acquiring the Package then quickly lose |
| | them and go back to the Field. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #3 | This is a repeat of Scenario #1 but with a different |
| | destination. In addition, the rivals will chase you |
| | regardless of how fast you were to the Package. You will |
| | need to exit your vehicle and kill them before finishing |
| | the task. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #4 | This is a repeat of Scenario #2 except that the rivals more |
| | than likely will beat you to the package this time. This |
| | means killing them before they get too far away from you. |
| | Use your Micro SMG to kill them, get the Package from them, |
| | and drive back to the Field. |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Scenario #5 | The Arms Package will be dropped off in the Grand Senora |
| | Desert National Park south of Sandy Shores. The Cops will |
| | be watching the roads so you will need to cut across the |
| | land. When you get to the drop then Oscar will warn you of |
| | an ambush. |
| | |
| | As you drive off, several rivals will appear on your radar |
| | but they are easy to lose. As you get near the Field you |
| | may get attacked by a rival helicopter. Get out of your |
| | Buggy and use your Carbine Rifle to destroy it. |
0===========================================================================0
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
After acquiring the Accomplishment you can stop doing these tasks. If you
want you can do more and the Scenarios will cycle through again. However,
they will be tougher this time as you will have to make more drops, destroy
more targets, and chase down rivals who will get the Package long before you
can get to the drop.

| B. Franklin's Businesses |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Switch to Franklin and go purchase the last three Businesses for Completion
percentage:
0===================0
| Los Santos Customs \
0=========================================================>
Although The Hen House is cheaper this Business, located in the Grand
Senora Desert, doesn't have any tasks associated with it. This becomes a
"buy and forget" place. An important thing to note is that any mods you buy
here will be free. But it can only be done here - not at any other Los
Santos Customs - and only with Franklin.
0===============0
| Towing Impound \
0=========================================================>
This place has the same type of towing tasks that you did for Tonya
earlier. But the tasks are Non-Random so you can "buy and forget" this
Business.
0=================0
| Downtown Cab Co. \
0=========================================================>
This is a taxi Business that will occasionally call you to pick up and
deliver customers. There will be nine total customer scenarios and they
will cycle again when you finish the last one. Your fare will vary
depending on scenario. You will get $2,000 in income weekly and all taxi
rides are free. You will also get the {All's Fare in Love and War}
Accomplishment upon completion of your first fare.
At some point after you buy the Business you should get a call to pick up a
customer over at Mount Zonah Medical Center. The thing to note is that you
can use any car including your modded Buffalo.
Your customer is an adrenaline junkie and wants you to drive recklessly to
his destination, the Vinewood sign. Drive against traffic, drift through
turns, occasionally smack into traffic, and go offroad to keep him from
getting bored. When you complete the fare then the Accomplishment should
pop up.
Although this is a Random Task Business you will only be called about once
per week or two weeks. By buying this Business near the end of the game
then this one fare may be the only one you do until after the Finale.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
Now that the Businesses are done and you have Completion percentage and the
three Accomplishments it is time to move on. But, before doing so, you should
switch to Trevor and do something that can be useful for The Big Score. Find
a good solid four door car then mod it with the best of everything then store
it at your garage which is the one closest to the Vanilla Unicorn. When you
are done with that then proceed to the next chapter.....

You can send in any character to start this sequence. It is time to do The
Big Score. There are two options for doing it.
The first option, Subtle, involves hijacking the armored cars then hack into
the street light system and manipulate them to aid in the escape. Then load
up the loot into modified cars and speed off. The second option, Obvious,
involves creating a distraction and drilling into the Depository to get at
the loot.
The Subtle Method requires a large crew (two Gunmen, two Drivers, and a
Hacker) while the Obvious Method requires a slightly smaller crew (two Gunmen
and two Drivers). Below are my recommendations for both Approaches:
--The Gunmen (Packie McReary, Chef)
=================================
I'm going to save a little bit of money here and go with Chef alongside
a completely maxed out Packie. If you did The Fire Crew Approach during
The Bureau Raid and used Gustavo Mota then use him in place of Chef as
he should be maxed out as well.
--The Drivers (Eddie Toh, Taliana Martinez)
=========================================
This massive job calls for good people and I will go with Eddie for one
of the drivers. Regardless of whether or not you used Taliana during
The Bureau Raid I highly recommend her as the second driver as she is
almost as good as Eddie (and maxed out if you used her before) and is
very cheap thus allowing you to make more money.
--The Hacker (Rickie Lukens) [Subtle Approach Only]
=================================================
If you used him at every opportunity then he should surpass Paige in
just about every skill. And, since he is also the cheapest member, you
can make even more money for yourself.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
After you choose your Approach then you can proceed forward based on that
choice:

You need to go to the Davis Police Station. The Police Transporter is in
the area where the other Police cars are parked. You need to sneak inside
and steal the van. There are three Police officers to avoid, two to the
north and one near the Van.
You cannot go through the chain-link door by the Towing business - you must
go in another way. Next to the Police Station is a raised area with
benches. Go here and climb one of the benches to see over the wall. You
want to jump down next to the Van.
When you jump down then sneak behind the lone officer and knock him out -
don't worry, you won't get a Wanted Rating. It should be noted that if you
are spotted by him while taking the Van then you will get a Wanted Rating
you need to get rid of. Of course, this complicates things.
Once you get the Van then take it to a spot under a bridge next to the
Vanilla Unicorn. When you park the van then get away from it to
successfully complete the mission.

Your next targets are a certain type of car.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to get three Gauntlets which then need to be modded for the Heist.
Acquiring each car is a mission onto itself with the same Requirements. I
recommend using Michael for this since he should have the most money to
spend on the required modifications.
You will be given a text with pictures on where to find the Gauntlets that
were spotted on camera. You can use any Gauntlet you find on the street if
you want but going after the ones in the text is easier. Listed below are
the locations:
>>Gauntlet #1
***********
On top of a parking garage in Pillbox Hill (the red and white garage
along Peaceful St. just north of the intersection of Peaceful St. and
Vespucci Blvd.).
>>Gauntlet #2
***********
Parked by the CaCa Store in Rockford Hills (along Portola Dr. and not
far from the Vangelico Jewelry Store you robbed earlier in the game).
>>Gauntlet #3
***********
Parked in an angled parking space on Fantastic Pl. across the street
from the Templar Hotel (which is at the southwest corner of Fantastic
Pl. and Vespucci Blvd.) in Mission Row.
When you get a Gauntlet then you need to take it to a Los Santos Customs to
have it modded for the job. The one the game chooses for you is the one
that Hao runs (Los Santos International Airport).
You have to get the Gold Preparation option then any other mods you want or
need. I recommend buying all of the Extras in addition to the Heist Prep.
After upgrading the vehicle then carefully take the car to the Lock-Up on
Elysian Island. After parking it there then leave the Lock-Up to
successfully complete the mission.
0===========0
| 100% Score \
0=======================>
>>Mapped
******
You need to deliver the Gauntlets pictured in the email. Although you
can take any Gauntlet in the street you need to get the ones pictured
in order to get this Requirement.
>>Not a Scratch
*************
You need to deliver the Gauntlets to the Lock-Up with no damage. This
also means no damage on the way to the Los Santos Customs. If you have
to pay for repairs then you can't get this Requirement. You also need
to carefully drive from the Los Santos Customs to the Lock-Up as well.
>>Pimped Out
**********
You need to spend at least $17,000 modifying the Gauntlet. The Heist
Prep alone costs $11,000 so you only really need to spend $6,000 more.
Buying all of the Extras and a change of paint should cost you about
$26,300 making getting this Requirement very easy.

to get to the tunnel by 08:00 AM or you will fail the mission. When you get
to the tunnel then you need to wait for a little bit.
When the Armored Vans show up then deploy a Stinger and drive up a bit to
give them some room. When the tires are popped then get out of the car.
During the cutscene then the rest of the crew arrive to repair the popped
tires while everybody else gather up the hostages. But Michael needs one of
them to help in getting inside. They find one named Casey.
From here, drive the Armored Van to the entrance of the Depository. This
starts a cutscene of the gang entering the building. After the cutscene
then follow the Manager. He will lead you to an elevator. After the
elevator then the Manager, and Casey, will open the safe and let the gang
inside. Continue to follow the Manager and he will lead you to the Gold.
After you collect the Gold then follow the team back to the elevator. Then
follow them back to the loading dock. After this then get back in the Van.
From here, follow Trevor out of the building. As you drive then Franklin
will tell Michael that Merryweather knows of what they are doing and is
trying to stop them. Franklin has tapped into the transportation grid and
you need to switch to him.
You will then see the grid. There are multiple signal lights on the grid.
One side of each square will be red and the other green. The Vans are the
blue arrows. Switch the lights near them to green so they can proceed.
Merryweather personnel will show as red arrows. You need to delay them at a
light or let them through before your Vans get there.
As your Vans proceed then switch the lights according to what Michael or
Trevor tell you. Once the Vans safely arrive at the Destination then you
need to switch vehicles. Michael will let Casey go with a gold brick as a
reward. But then Merryweather goons show up to crash the party.
You will need to fight through them before you can leave. And there are a
whole lot of them. I recommend using the Assault Shotgun as this will kill
them quickly. There will also be snipers on one of the upper levels of the
interchange. Switch to your Sniper Rifle and take them down then continue
fighting off the others.
After killing all of the Merryweather goons then you need to drive off with
the loot. But the Cops are onto you and you now have a 5-Star Wanted Rating
to contend with. However, with all of the modifications you added to the
Gauntlets, they shouldn't pose much of a problem. You need to follow the
Crew through the city while avoiding collisions and other hazards.
Eventually you will end up in the Del Perro Fwy. tunnel. Here you need to
drive your car into one of the big rigs brought for the job. When you get
inside the truck then you will drop off the Gold at the Grand Senora
Desert. From here, drive back to Michael's House. When you get there then
you start a cutscene that successfully completes the mission and The Big
Score.

| Notes \
0=======================>
If you do a Mission Replay then you will be placed just outside the main
entrance. I also recommend Michael to do this just in case you want to use
his Special.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The Cutter will be in La Mesa. It will also be heavily guarded. You can run
in and take it but this will incur a 2-Star Wanted Rating which will be
difficult to lose because of the large and slow vehicle. You should get rid
of the guards before you can take it. Go to the main entrance on Popular
St.
While looking at the entrance then run to the area next door south of where
the Cutter is parked. There should be a couple of dumpsters with ramps.
Climb up the ramps but don't drop down. Switch to your Sniper Rifle and
wait.
One guard will walk to a garage door near the Cutter. When he stops then
kill him. Then look to the northwest and you should make out the head of a
guard above a dirt pile and near the transmission tower. Kill him then look
north. You should see two guards there. Kill the one in the far background
but *DO NOT* kill the one in the foreground.
After that then run to the area directly across the street from the
entrance. Kill the guard at the gate. Then look for the three guards to the
right of where the previous guard was standing. Quickly line yourself in
such a way that all three are in a straight line. Then use the Sniper Rifle
to kill all three in one shot. After that then kill the final guard at the
opposite gate.
When those guards are dead then run through the entrance but go into sneak
mode about partway through the yard. Angle left to find the last remaining
guard, the one I told you not to kill. Sneak up behind him and knock him
out. When all of the guards are down then go and get into the Cutter and
leave the yard.
If you get a 2-Star Wanted Rating your best bet is to go near the north end
of the LS River and park the Cutter. Get out then drop down into the tunnel
so you can lose the Cops.
After either quietly acquiring the Cutter or losing the Wanted Rating then
Michael calls Lester. He then tells Michael to park the machine at the
Parking Lot next to the Depository. When you get there then the mission is
successfully completed.

You need to steal the Cutter without being detected. In order to get

the Requirement. This is why I wrote things this way.

Stealing the Cutter without being detected is essential for this

When you get close to Davis Quartz then you should see two red dots. These
are the Railway Workers you need to incapacitate. After they appear then
Michael will call Trevor to tell him to fly out there. Run up to the stairs
leading up to the platform then enter sneak mode. One of them will be at
the Signal Box above you and the other will be by the track.
Go up and knock out the one by the tracks then go up and knock out the one
by the Box. After that then change the Sidings. Now you have to wait for a
train to stop in the Sidings. After a short wait then a train will come and
be diverted. When that happens then switch to Trevor who will be at the
Airfield.
He will be in a Skylift and you need to pick up the Freight Engine. Fly
there and drop low enough so you can pick up the Engine with the
electromagnet. Once you have the Engine then take it to the Airfield. Fly
low over the trailer and drop the Engine onto it. Now fly back to the train
and get a Flatbed. Repeat the process and grab any of the Flatbeds marked.
Then fly it back to the Airfield and drop it onto the trailer. When you
have done that then the mission is successfully completed.

>>Mission Time (4:30)
*******************
This one is a little annoying to get because the timing is a little
tight and you need to pick up and drop off each piece without a lot of
mistakes. It may be best to do this on a Mission Replay since you will
start right on the track platform not far from the workers thus saving
you time as the mission usually starts the moment they appear on the
radar.

The crew is assembled and ready to pull off the dream job.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Advanced Rifle (provided).
--Sticky Bomb.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You start off as Michael and you need to get in the car and drive to the
Bank. When you get there then you will meet up with one of your Gunmen.
Then you will auto switch to Franklin who is in the tunnel.
Next, drive the Cutter through the marked wall to get at the Gold. After
you drill the hole then back out the Cutter and park it. Then go and place
Sticky Bombs on the two cage doors and get back so you can blow them open.
After blowing open the doors then you need to protect your other Gunman
from the N.O.O.S.E coming in from the tunnels to the south.
Use your new Advanced Rifle on them. However, more of them will appear from
the north. Use cover and quickly take care of them before they take off too
much damage. After that then things clear up for now. Use this time to get
the Health and Armor that is normally down here to heal yourself if you
need it.
At this point one of the helicopters come to take some of the Gold away. As
they are trying to take the Gold away then some more N.O.O.S.E. appear in
the vault. Kill them off quickly. As you are doing that then Trevor has to
pull out due to some more N.O.O.S.E. rappelling down into the tunnel. Turn
around and quickly kill off the three N.O.O.S.E. then switch to Trevor.
You now have to fly out of the city. Fly north and when you get to the city
limits then switch to Michael. Now you have to shoot your way out of a
5-Star Wanted Rating. Proceed forward alongside the building and take down
all you see using the Advanced Rifle. When you get down to the next level
then meet up with Franklin and you will need to cross the bridge. However,
it will be crawling with more Police.
Use cover and quickly pick off all you can. You can switch to Franklin of
your health gets too low. Cross the bridge and continue alongside the
buildings killing all that appear including those down at ground level.
Later, a Police chopper will appear. Kill those inside before they can take
off too much damage. Along the way Lester will tell you about Merryweather.
They found out about the job and will try to stop you.
Eventually you will have to move up a level and end up in a courtyard. Here
you need to fight off more Police including those in a helicopter. Get into
cover and take down the ones coming from the chopper before they can do
much harm. After that then move towards the center and take down any who
oppose you.
Proceed through the courtyard to encounter a Merryweather chopper. Shoot
the pilot to take it down. Next, proceed down and take down the N.O.O.S.E.
waiting for you. Then proceed forward and around the corner. Proceed
forward and take down the Cops in the street as you do so. You will then
head downstairs and into the parking garage where you have your modded car.
But more N.O.O.S.E. show up in their special vehicles. Pick them off before
they can get out to make things easier. Use the pillars as cover as you get
rid of the rest. After you have dealt with all three carloads of N.O.O.S.E.
then get into your Getaway Car and leave.
The quickest way to deal with the Wanted Rating is to go north out of the
tunnel and turn right. You will get to the bridge that crosses Del Perro
Fwy. This is the same bridge that you used to drop down onto the Freeway
during the Vangelico Heist. Find the bridge break and drop down onto the
Freeway and go straight to the construction tunnel. Drive far enough in
and wait for the Rating to go away.
After losing the Rating then you will check on Trevor. Unfortunately,
Merryweather are onto them and you need to switch to him. When you switch
to him then you need to follow your other driver who is in the other
chopper. Now you have to deal with three Merryweather choppers who are
approaching you.
You need to keep your chopper on a steady course and close to the other
choppers so Lester can shoot them down with some RPGs. As you try to take
down the choppers then your other driver will take evasive action by going
through the Wind Farm. If you don't bring down the choppers in time then
they can take down the other chopper and reach your drop-off point which
will result in a mission failure.
Even so you need to maintain a steady course so Lester can shoot them down.
If you do things correctly then you should destroy the last one at the
north end of the Wind Farm. When all three of the choppers are down then
get behind the train, fly low, and drop off the Gold. After that then go to
McKenzie Airfield. When you get there then the mission, and The Big Score,
is successfully completed.

After calling up Trevor then Franklin calls Michael to tell him of what he
plans to do. From here, go to the south end of the Oil Fields. When you get
there then you confront Trevor and he speeds off. He will lead you on a
long chase that goes against freeway traffic and eventually ends up back at
the Oil Fields.
All you have to do is keep up with him - you don't need to try to stop his
car. When he gets into part of the industrial area of the Fields then you
start a cutscene.
Michael ambushes Trevor and makes him ram into a gas tanker causing it to
spill gasoline and douse Trevor. When you regain control then fire one shot
into the gas puddle to set it, and Trevor, aflame. This will start another
cutscene with both Michael and Franklin. They both walk away from Trevor
and each other. This will also successfully end the mission and the Main

When you switch to Franklin he will get a nasty email from Ron. He will
also get a call from Steve. Steve will get close to Devin to help keep him
from getting revenge on both Franklin and Michael because you killed Trevor

you confront Michael and he speeds off.
He will eventually stop at the Palmer-Taylor Power Station and he flees on
foot. Follow him into the complex and he will lead you up to the top of a
smokestack. Here you will be ambushed but then you reverse things and he
hangs from your hand. You can either drop him or save him. But each choice

This is the only mission where a Mission Failure will not nullify your Time

you fail during a Replay then they will be nullified.
In addition, you should make sure that all three guys have full health,
armor, and ammo prior to choosing this ending.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
After the call then go to Lester's house. When you get there then Lester
comes up with a plan to lure both Steve and Devin to a foundry for an
ambush where you can take them both down. Lester will call both Michael and
Trevor in on the plan. Franklin will also call Lamar and get him on it.
After the call then go to his house and pick him up.
When you pick him up the head to the Foundry. When you get there then enter
the place and make your way to where Trevor and Michael are bickering, as
usual. After the cutscene then you need to fight off the F.I.B. Team that
has just entered the building. Stay as Franklin and use your cover to pick
them off with the Assault Shotgun. Although you have the Advanced Rifle the
close quarters are better suited to the Shotgun.
After taking down the F.I.B. Team then Merryweather comes in. You will also
be prompted to switch to Trevor which you should do. As you take down the
attackers you find that they are also shooting at each other which helps
you out. As the battle continues then you will need to go out and help
Lamar. Switch to Franklin, jump down onto the lower level, and quickly go
out the way you came while taking down those who oppose you.
When you get outside then get in cover behind the crate next to your car
and take down the F.I.B. that are outside. After taking down most of the
F.I.B. then you are requested to rescue Trevor. Switch to Michael and kill
off the F.I.B. as you make your way to Trevor. When you get to him then get
back into cover and defend yourself against the next wave of attackers.
After this then you need to go outside and help Franklin. Do *NOT* follow
Trevor out onto the upper level of the Foundry. Instead, go out the same
way Franklin came in and take cover behind the car. Take down the remaining
F.I.B. Team then go around the corner and start taking down the
Merryweather goons attacking Trevor. Use the corner as cover as you get rid
of these guys.
At some point you will be attacked by a Merryweather chopper. Switch to the
Advanced Rifle and shoot the pilot to bring it down. After that then
continue killing off the remaining Merryweather crew with the Assault
Shotgun. After taking down the last of Merryweather then go to the Main
Doors and regroup.
The current plan isn't working so they decide to go after certain people to
tie up loose ends - Steve, Devin, Cheng, and Stretch. Franklin calls Lester
for help and he pinpoints Steve, Stretch, and Cheng's locations. Trevor
goes after Steve, Michael goes after Stretch, and Franklin goes after
Cheng.
Even though you are Franklin at this point you should switch to Michael. Go
to where Stretch is at. When you get near then you can attack him. You can
drive-by him, run him over, or get just far enough to use a Sniper Rifle on
him. However, this may get his Balla friends to attack you. If this happens
then you need to get away from them quickly before you can proceed.
Usually you will be chased by a fast Balla car. Immediately stop, get out
of your car, and use your Assault Shotgun to take care of them quickly then
continue driving away. When you are far enough away then you can switch to
either Franklin or Trevor. Switch to Trevor who should be on the Del Perro
Pier.
Get into position just outside of the amusement park and find Steve on the
Ferris Wheel. Use your silenced Sniper Rifle and take him down with a
headshot. This will trigger a 2-Star Wanted Rating so you need to lose it
before you can proceed. Run north, drop down onto the beach, and run north
along it. This should be enough to quickly lose the Rating. When it is gone
then switch to Franklin.
He should be close to the Pacific Bluffs Country Club where Cheng is at.
When you get there then you should see three vehicles, two with bodyguards
and the center one with Wei Cheng. Throw Sticky Bombs on all three cars.
While you are throwing the Bombs you will be attacked but if you're fast
enough then you can escape serious damage.
Let them get far enough away from you then detonate to get rid of all three
vehicles. If any of them survive then you will need to kill the remaining
Triads before proceeding. When the last Triad are dead then Franklin calls
the group. Now switch to Trevor who has found Devin's residence.
Drive to Devin's house to find that he has surrounded himself with
Merryweather guards. Your next goal is to kidnap Devin. You will need to
kill the guards first but they aren't too hard to deal with since there is
only a small number of them and you have the powerful Advanced Rifle at
your disposal.
After killing the guards then find Devin who will be in the wicker chest
near the pool. After kidnapping Devin then take him to the Rendezvous Point
which is the Sonar Collections Dock in Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.
When you get there then you meet up with the rest of the gang and properly
deal with Devin once and for all. This will also successfully complete the
mission and the Main Story.

Using Michael to kill most of the Merryweather goons outside the
Foundry is a good time saver. Killing your Targets in the prescribed
order saves a lot of time since each member of the trio will be close
to each Target when you switch to them.
There is also a nice shortcut just after you leave Devin's house. After </pre><pre id="faqspan-22">
you turn left you should see some wooden fences for the guardrail.
Break through them and go down the hillside. This will take you
straight down to the Great Ocean Highway and save you a lot of valuable
time.
However, you have to be careful when going off the road. If you come
off wrong then you may find yourself rolling uncontrollably down the
hillside. This will negate most of the time you're trying to save.

marker at Trevor's Safehouse. This starts the optional mission "Mrs. Philips"
in which he meets his mother. You need to find a Deludamol van and bring it
to her.
According to gta.wikia.com you can find one at the Dollar Pills store in
Strawberry or at most Hospitals (except Sandy Shores and Paleto Bay). When
you get the van then you start another mission called "Damaged Goods". Take
it back to your Safehouse to complete the encounter. After the encounter the
Deludamol van will spawn at most Hospitals.

In addition to the {To Live and Die in Los Santos} Accomplishment you will
also have most of the outfits that you wore during the course of the game
inside your Closet. If Trevor lives then he will also get a Nagasaki Blazer
ATV delivered to his Safehouse in Sandy Shores. He will also be able to buy
dresses at the Binco / Discount Stores.
You will also be able to play the other two endings without having to go back
to Devin's meeting with Franklin so you can play around and get the Gold
Medals related to them. However, the ending you chose on your initial
play-through will be the ending you officially get. If you wish to change
endings then you will need to redo the Finale and choose another ending.

If you've done *EVERYTHING* regardless of order then you should also have
100% Completion. And what do you earn for 100% Completion in "Grand Theft
Auto V"? The {Career Criminal} Accomplishment and nothing else other than the
"100%" T-Shirt for your wardrobe. Considering the scope of the game this is
quite a disappointment.
However, we're not quite done yet.....

Franklin heads into the Raton Canyon area and finds a strange hunter. This
guy has been hunting the infamous Sasquatch for many years and even has
proof in the form of scat. He wants Franklin to help him hunt down the
mysterious creature.....

This only opens up after you acquire 100% Completion and is entirely
optional. This usually takes a few days to appear from the time you acquire
100% Completion.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to the Scat Site which is the yellow area on your map. When you get
there then you will finally encounter the creature who will run away. You
should try shoot him down. But he is pretty fast and will disappear from
your radar. In addition, if you use AutoAim, it won't lock onto him.
Listen to his unique sound to put him back on the radar and continue the
chase. In addition to his speed he is also tough and will take multiple
shots to bring down (I believe it takes around fifty). It is very important
to point out that you also need to keep an eye and ear open for the pesky
Cougars - they can easily ambush you during the chase.
After a long foot chase you will finally corner him on top of a hill
(assuming you don't manage to shoot him down beforehand). Shoot him to
start a cutscene. However, all is not as it seems. You can either kill it
or walk away to successfully complete the encounter.

| 100% Score \

>>Wounded
*******
You need to shoot the Sasquatch three times before the end of the
chase. All you need to do is to get a short burst of machine gun fire
on him which will get you more than enough shots you need for this
Requirement. Even if you can't AutoAim on him this is an easy task.
>>Hunter
******
You need to kill four animals while chasing the Sasquatch. You will be
dealing with multiple Cougars and you have to kill them before they
kill you so this is nearly automatic.
>>Mr. Green
*********
You need to enter the Scat Site on foot.
