Grand Theft Auto III Cheats & Tips

as you know on portland the triad fish building,well the road that turns and curves not the one that goes by the cafe but the one that does kind of a long circle around but any way the first garage on your right is screwed up so all you have to do is pull in the garage and there you go.


note:you can not save in the garage and another thing you can still get shot to!...

For the what you may call less experienced players of GTA3 I am putting together a way to stay cool under the pressure of Rhino tanks up you ass.

Now, as you should know, the Law enforcers in order are:

*= One cops per car with no guns, except if you jump onto a car.

**= Cop with guns and two per car.

***= The same as ** plus a police chopper with unlimited ammo

****= S.W.A.T vans which are mainly used as a roadblock

*****= Now they mean business! F.B.I cars appear from nowhere and try to pound on your ass!

******= They bring the Army out- Approach with caution!

Dealing with one star
This is relatively easy. The cars will not try to totally trash you car, but will try to get you to stop. Remember that the police cars are very fast when they want to be. If you want to lose the police they aren't very difficult to lose, just go around a few corners leaving them in you dust, or go to the nearest pay and spay shop and you are free! However if you want more of them on you kill more and a second star will appear.

Dealing with Two stars
Now that you have two stars, it gets harder, police in cars now start bumping you harder and now you need some driving skills on your side. For car damage purposes try to keep on the road, (yes your side!). If by now you are on foot, the police will try and run you down. This takes a chunk out of you health. Police will now try to shoot you, so try to dodge the bullets when possible. Unlike one star you WILL NOT just lose the cops by turning a few corners. The only way to lose them is by pay'n spray, unless you are on a mission and you cannot lose them, and when the mission is complete the miraculously forget where you are! From now on, the turn a few corners will not have you escape the police

Dealing with Three Stars
If your looking to be crushed by a tank congratulations! You are half way there! Now from absolutely nowhere
a police Chopper appears, and had some chassis denting bullets. You have to use both parts of your brain. You have to keep out of the chopper's way while dodging the now very wild police cars. This is now really the time to use open areas and go off the road. You need skills to make sure your car is kept intact, and every so often drop by your hideout to repair you car, Staunton Island would be the best for that. The chopper will remain there until the end, either of the chase, or your life!

Dealing with Four stars
There isn't much the SWAT threat you with, they are deadly slow, which can be to your advantage However they do block the road, which can cause allot of damage to the car if it is caught in the SWAT's web if road blocks, but if you break free they are practically useless. But now however the cop cars are SUICIDAL!

Dealing with five stars
If you have got this far you are doing well, but you have yet to push the Law enforcers to their max.
FBI cars are to a car collector very attractive with their rare colour. They will do their utmost to make you disappear to put it nicely, and there are a lot of em, so get going! The best way to keep them at bay is to keep one step ahead. Plan your route and where you think they will slip up.

Dealing with the mutha!- SIX STARS!
This is where being on foot doesn't pay off. every army guy has an M16. That means that if they see you, and can get a clear shot they will pump your body full of lead. This whole pumping thing will be over in 2.5 seconds, so he won't feel any pain! The tanks will try their best to crush you, so I hope that your car is of some speed. Like the SWATs, Barracks OLs will block your way, so use the same technique to get through them.

Phew!

These cars are good cars to put through the above techniques:

Bus
Kuruma
Esperantos
Rumpos
Sentinals
Cartel Crusier

These aren't very good cars to use and could be more easier destroyed:

Stinger
Banshee
Stallion/Diablo Stallion

Don't bother trying With these, unless you want to die:

Landstalker
Manana
Pereninal
Mr Whoopie


Now after you have done this, give a minute to remember all of those you killed in this experiment...............
NAHHHHHH don't bother!

Go To A Place Where The Cops Can't Find You And Put In The Blow Up Cars Cheat (L2 R2 L1 R1 L2 R2 Triangle Square Circle Triangle L2 L1)And Then All The Cars Around You Will Explode.


Notice! If You Want A Car Your Going To Have To Wait And You Might Die

When you get to the docks and let 8ball out, go around to the stairs, keep going, when you start to go around the building you will see what looks like a glowing pill. Run through the pill. You will start to move slower. Go back to steps, get to top landing. Shoot people left to right as stated on other tips. The difference is, now they run and move and shoot slower too! and its much easier.

If you want a Banshee, then go to Easy Credit Autos near 8 Balls place. Break the glass and there it is! (Sometimes it might not be there).

Complete 100 taxi missions (not in a row) to unlock The Borgini Taxi in the taxi depot in that place that looks like two square roads next to each other.

If you want to do a taxi mission in any car, get in a taxi and hold down R3, get out, enter any other car and let go of the R3 button. You'll have the taxi mission activated!

A tip for you guys, it's about moving about in Liberty City. Unlike San Andreas or Vice City, it isn't as big, so it'll be easier. Get familiar with the routes in the beginning so you won't have trouble later on in Story Mode. Just a little advice from a veteran.

when you are driving a police car,fbi car or a fire truck press R3 which is the right anoalog stick. you can turn on the lights and make the real sounds. it is really cool!!

Easiest way we found to do this mission is go to where the car is DO NOT GET IN.......go behind building and climb on top of the roof...use the weapons cheat to get all weapons...select any gun and shoot at the car to the left sitting by itself facing towards you.....this causes that car to take off and another shows up and trys to run you over but keeps hitting into the building....take the bazooka (get this from an all weapons cheat code) and blow up the car....then get into car and take to the crusher without anyone trying to wreck you...EASY AS PIE!!!

I found this mission hard the first time but the easiest way to beat this mission is to get a 6-star wanted level then steal the tank (may take a while if you are a beginner but it's worth it) then just take the tank pick up that guy (whatever his name is) then go through the route where it leads to the airport and don't worry about the CIA guys doing damage to you. After you pass by them go to the airport, drop the guy, and then go back to his lockup and get $20000 cash with 4 different kinds of weapons and a bulletproof patriot!

The easiest way to kill him is before you start the mission first go and plant a bomb in the car at 8-ball's and then go and start the mission, instead of waiting for him outside Luigi's or anywhere else go to the entrence where Leone's mansion is then just wait for a few moments and then when he is about to enter through the entrance quickly get out of the car and arm the bomb and he should be toast. If that's too complicated or anything then just use the destroy cars cheat.

Start a Vigilante mission. Once you get near the suspect's car. Hit pause, and then un-pause it. The suspect will jump out of the car for no reason. Now you can run them over.

start the race, then get out of your car and get away from all cars then activate all cars blowup cheat and u r instantly in first place (the cars don't come back!!!!!!!!!!)

to get a faster tank enter he code to get one and get in it. use R3 to turn the cannon all the way behind you it must be directly behind you for it to work hold down X and press O as fast as you can you will gain very very much speed

Go to a train station, wait till a train has just gone and jump on the track, go into the raised center keep going till you are above the Head radio building. jump off onto the roof , a flamethrower is on the right

after geting of the bridge make a uturn and drive through the trees for a short time than turn to the right and the flamethrower is by a VERY wide pillar

Simply get into a tank (Ox6, R1, L2, L1, triangle, O, Triangle) and then use the flying car mode (R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle).

Then turn the tank missile thing 180 degrees (facing backwards) and keep firing while driving. The tank will soon pick up speed and then fly.

To fly this make sure you keep your finger on X and to keep level using the up and down arrows.

(it is advised not to turn when doing this, it will result in lots of barrel rolls and you wont be able to control the tank)

there are many dead simple ways to do this but the most effective is this, well for me anyway


frist steal a traid fish van

next start the mission with the van and drive to where the forelli bros are now drive the van into the car and drive throug this tunne till you get to the wooden dock.

park your car on the edge and get out run down the ramp and the other guys will either jump over you into the lake or crashg into the van and fall in the lake.

get the car dive to crusher

misiion complete!

note: also parking ur car parralel to the dock side nearest the tunnel (on the right i belive, if ur looking from behind and driving str8 on2 the docks) becasue the forellis are crap drivers!

FIrst go to the bridge with a fast car and enter a code called dodo car (R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle) than go as fast as you can and jump the bridge when youve gotten there go to the stadium and find a tunnel follow the signs to get to shoresidevale or the airport.
Warning! do not drive over the bridge when it get fixed if you want to be able to Be in Shoreside.

Trying to get into some serious trouble? Use these tips to avoid being wasted and/or busted.

One Star- So, so easy. The cops have no guns and will not shoot you. They won't try to damage your car, but will try to stop you. You can lose One Star easily by speeding away from the cops and turning a few corners.

Two Stars- Still easy, but this time, you can't lose the cops unless you use the cheat or turn into a Pay'n'Spray ($1000). Now they WILL have guns and they WILL shoot you and ram your car. This still shouldn't be that much trouble.

Three Stars- OK, this is where things get trickier. Now in addition to the crazed cops, you'll have a helicopter on your tail. Oh, and if you destroy it, another one will soon arrive anyway. If you are in a car, try to have a fast one and on that can take a fair amount of damage. I find that a Kuruma works nicely. Infernuses and other fast cars like that are blown up too easily. Out of a car, try to stay under a roof or somewhere where it is harder for the helicopter to kill you. Shoot any cops that come near you.

Four Stars- Now the SWAT team has been deployed. Their vans are very slow, but they make GREAT roadblocks. You don't need anything fast in particular now, but something strong. Make sure it can still accelarate so you aren't busted, however. Staying out of the car is deadly. The SWAT team will kill you in (I timed it) exactly 2.8 seconds with their guns if you are outside your car. Run over the policeman and SWAT team with your car or shoot out of the window.

Five Stars- Suddenly FBI cars start coming out of nowhere. Don't even dare try to steal them. Don't evern dare to get out of your car. They are deadly fast and, might I add, suicidal. They WILL bring you down, unless you know what you're doing. If you are foolish enough to start blowing these things up, get on a roof and blast them with the rocket launcher before they have a chance to get out out of their car. The FBI have deadly accuracy and will kill you faster than the SWAT team. I reccomend to you only two cars. Either use the super fast Cheetah, or get into a Rhino Tank and run over these suicidal maniacs. If you do wish to steal an FBI car, drive up in front of it and get out. When the FBI people get out, quickly get back in your own car. Then run them down, and voila, their car is yours for the taking.

Six Stars- Congrats, you have managed to survive long enough to have the privilige of doing battle with the Army. Now masses of deadly Rhino tanks are deployed. STAY IN YOU CAR. Do not be tempted to steal one of these, unless the driver gets out and there are no other Rhino tanks in the immediate area. Otherwise, drive really fast and beg to not crash into one of these. One bump, and your car, will set on fire, which means your screwed, because once you grt out, you will be crushed by the Rhino tank and deadly FBI bullets. If you are extremely lucky and do steal a Rhino tank, you are pretty safe, and your only danger is getting busted. To go faster in it, turn the barrel around and shoot backwards, which will propel the tank forward. Run over mercilessly the other cars. Try to destroy other Rhinos with your cannon, otherwise, ram them faster than they ram you.

You can't keep this up forever. Eventually, one way or another, you will get busted or wasted. After you've lasted about 5 minutes in the 6-Star wanted level, use the Wanted Level Cheat (found anywhere on the Net) and declare proudly to your friends your accomplishment. Hope this helps!

What To Keep In Your Garage

Portland: Banshee
Staunton: Cheetah, BF Injenction
Shoreside Vale: Infernus, Stinger, FBI Car or Sentinel

Hope this helps!

First again you need to be up to staunton island, now from your hide out get to the multi level carpark and wait for a stallion, now steal it and it will trigger a misson called multi-storey mayhem.

You have 20 seconds to collect the first vcheckpoint then after every point (there are 20) it will give you an extra 5 seconds on the clock.(dont be fooled as this is quite the difficult misson.

Pay: $30000

this is at the portland horbor and you can put cars in it and take them out for free. but you have 2 find the cars first. u should know what the garage looks like. there is yellow stripes and a blue door. but make sure the cars you pick are on the list, I must warn you do this before the mission where you got 2 blow up the ice cream truck because that car is on the list and is very very hard 2 find after that mission but if you fo the firefighter missions you shoud find it.

For missions involving picking up passengers such as the taxi or paramedic missions, save seconds off of each run by getting passengers into your vehicle faster. Do this by using a melee weapon such as a baseball bat or golf club, and hit the doors until they fall off. Don't hit the door too many times to prevent damage to the vehicle itself. Also, don't knock off the driver side door, because that provides you with protection from police wanting to bust you.

Get a normal car and cruise the streets until you find a prostitute drive up next to her (make sure she is standing next to the drivers door) and she will talk to you for a couple of minutes then she will walk around to the other side of the car and get in. Drive to a dark place (an alley, your hideout etc.) and park the car but do not get out. The car will start shaking and your health will go up. Then you have two choices:
1)Stay still and let her get out then beat her up to get your money back, or
2) tap the gas right before she gets out then park the car and watch the car start shaking again which saves time since it costs a dollar a second when she is in the car.

Damaged vehicles can be repaired free at any hideout by parking the vehicle in your garage and get out of the car, leave to let the door close then return and any cars in your garage will be repaired.

If you happen to finish all the story missions you will have aggravated nearly all the gangs in each part of Portland and Staunton Island, making the ambulance mission VERY difficult. However, only the Columbians in Cedar Grove hate you in Shoreside Vale, so you can complete the Ambulance mission there easiest by using the "Good car-handling" cheat along with the "Slow game clock" cheat to complete the mission. Granted, it's cheating, but at least you've got a shot to get 100% completion.

There is a metal stair case which leads to the top of a building in an allie across the street from the club Salvatore is at. First make sure you have a sniper riffle. Get to the top of the building right away. Make sure you enter the allie so none of the mafia sees you. Wait for Salvatore to exit the night club. Snipe him and his body gaurds just walk away. Easy as pie.

Mission completed.

to turn on sirens for the fire truck, police cars and the others, press down on the light analog stick (L3) and they will come on. if not, keep doing it and it will come on.

In the mission Two Face(d) Tanner, do the tank cheat before you meet up with him. Now go to wherever he is and shoot his car with the cannon. NOTE: You must have the cannon facing the right way, if you don't then rotate the cannon with the right analog stick. He'll drive away very quickly so I suggest you use the little period of time you have to destroy his veicle wisely

Weapons Cheat: R2 R2 L1 R2 Left Down Right Up Left Down Right Up.


Change Chracter Cheat: Right Down Left Up L1 L2 Up Left downc Right.


Lower Wanted Level: R2 R2 L1 R2 Up Down Up Down Up Down Up Down

Here's a little cheat for those of you stuck on any of the 4x4 missions.

"A Ride in the Park"
"Multi Storey Mayhem"
"Patriot Playground"
"Gripped"

On beginning ANY of the missions, whether you are given 5, 10, 20 or 25 seconds to collect the 2nd checkpoint, wait until the timer is at "0" and just before the timer disappears pick up the next checkpoint. I did this first time by accident and it let me complete the rest of the mission without the timer. I did it first on the "Patriot Playground" mission and it worked a treat.
A little bonus too with it, is that is states on the game stats that you have completed the mission in the time it took you to collect the 2nd checkpoint, nice ha!!
If it doesn't work first or even 5th time DON'T give up it will work but you must be really precise with your timing. I've since tried it on all the other 3 missions and got them all down to 20 seconds. You can also use the great handling cheat to stop the car from rolling on its roof should you muck things up !!
Happy Drivin'!!

There are a lot of ways to get the BP Cheetah. This is the one I used and it is by far the best.
Turismo
This is the mission you get the BP Cheetah in. It is El Burro's first mission. The starting point is by the entry to Callahan Bridge. Go start this mission by talking to El Burro on the phone.
Getting the Tank
Second, you need to get a tank. There are many ways to do this w/o cheats. You can get one by getting six stars. Or you can spawn one if you completed the "Emergancy Vehicle" list. You could also get one at Phil's place of you have beaten the game.
Start the Race
Now go to the point where you start the race. Make sure you don't hit any of the racers because you will fail. When the race starts, drive the tank back to the entrance to your hideout. Park the tank perpendicular to the road or in other words, right in front of your hideout entrance. Use the side view to see the racers come down this road. They will be coming up the road, not down. When they come, make sure one runs into the tank. The racer's cheetah will blow up. Now get out of the tank and push the blown up scrap(racer's blown up BP cheetah) into your garage. Stay by the scrap at all times. It has a tendency to disappear when your not looking.
Notes
-The BP Cheetah is everything proof except for bump damage and tanks.
-You can change the color w/o affecting its BP feature.
-This car is very useful for Portland when you are driving in St. Marks.

Do 100 taxi fares and get a fast, tougher, better taxi at Harwood in Portland.

when you get through the gates of the harbor go to the blue marker, wait till 8-ball gets out the car then when he has go back to where you came in do a 180 degree turn so your facing the way you came in go right past the caravans and turn left and go down the gap but drive SLOWLY or you'll be seen stop at the bottom of the steel steps get out and walk up them go on the roof and go to the edge put your sniper view on and zoom in as far as possible shoot the two guys at the bottom of the ramp, keeping sniper view on move up and along the boat snipering all the cartel gang members then sit back, relax, and watch the cartel cruiser sink to the bottom of the see.........MISSION COMPLETE

Alright, to start off you must make sure you have the money needed. Then get 8-Ball and carry him to Portland Docks. Next, Go into the blue circle. A cinematic shows 8-Ball talking and then running behind a storage container. No practice shots. 8-Ball will run in and get killed. OK, go around the corner of the building and go up the stairs. Make sure you've got a clear view. Now, look at the guards and zoom in with the sguare button. Now, shoot the guy on the left side of the ramp. Then, shoot the one on the right side. He may take cover behind the Cartel Cruiser but, will still have parts unprotected. A shot any where kills. Now, Shoot the guy all the way to the left on the boat. Now, work your way to the right never adjusting your sights. All the men should be on the same level. Some of the men could be near red oil drums. Shoot them they explode like grenades. That should make you pass the mission on the first try. Now, get yourself a Cartel Cruiser and relax.

Successfully complete the Mafia missions in story mode to unlock the Buggy. Return to Portland and go to the Diablo parking lot (where the mission phone is located) between 19:00 to 24:00 to find the same Buggy glimpsed in Joey's garage from the Mafia mission. It will appear in the same location and change color each time.

Steal a car except a police car,F.B.I. car,Ambulance,Fire Truck,or Taxi.Find a tramp.She'll bend over like she's taking to you.Go to a secret place(like your hideout).Then the car will start to shake.first it will start slow then it will go faster and faster.Your health will start to boost up.It can go to the max of 125.

Press the select button 4 times and you will get a special camera view.

You might want to know what weapons not to use when you're struggling through a challenging mission, and don't want to die, and have to start the mission over:

The bazooka, and grenades are dangerous if you are in a tight place, or are unsure of how to throw the grenade right. Firing the Bazooka at an object that's relativly close, is very dangerous also.

Firing machine guns or the bazooka at nearby vehicles may lead to your own demise as well.

Also look out for:

Driving too close to a ledge, or near the water, and also driving through a dangerous neighborhood (like St. Marks after you're through with the mafia).
Hope this helps.

There is a really easy way to beat this mission that I am going to tell yo about. After you get the mission drive on over to where the blue dot is. You will see the car there, don't get in it though. Make sure that you still have some gernades left over from one of your earlier missions. Then just go over to the car where the Forelies will be sitting in. Take a gernade and throw it at the car. When this happens they will try to start chasing you. So then go up on the hill and make sure to hit the car one or two more times with the gernades and it will blow up. When this happens just go get in the car and start the mission. You wont be bothered by the other car at all, so you can just drive the the blue dot and finish the mission.

The only wy to destroy Tanks is to use a flame thrower. When doing so, make sure u are not standing where the tank can run u over cos it hurts a bit.

To do a Taxi delivery in ANY car is relatively easy and was discovered by CodeJunkie but I'll put this here for him.

To do this cheat/glitch is by getting into a Taxi and pressing and holding the R3 button and then getting out while still holding the button. Then get into any car you'd like and wait until you are fully into the car until you let go of R3. After that it should let you do the Taxi Mission in the car of your choice. Have Fun!

================TAKEOFF================
Get the Dodo on a nice, straight piece of road or runway, I suggest the latter until you are more experienced, then hold the down button on the controller. Accelerate down the runway while holding the button until you hear a scraping noise, then let go of the down button and the Dodo will start to lift off the floor. You must then quickly correct the Dodo and make sure that it's nose does not point too high in the air, or it will stall and you will fall out of the sky. While taking off, it is also a good idea to switch to the side view, as it will help you define when the nose of the plane is too high.

================TURNING================
Turning should be a gentle, calm motion and should not be attempted too quickly. You mustn't hold either of the turning buttons, as it will turn too quickly and you will run the risk of turning the whole Dodo over, which will result in you falling out of the sky. If you find that you have turned the Dodo too much, then you will have to correct the oversteer and turn the Dodo in the opposite direction. Turning is not that difficult once you get used to it, just remember to tap the keys and never hold them.

============GAINING ALTITUDE============
An easy way to gain altitude (height) would be to fly around the coasts of the islands, as the Dodo will be gaining altitude on it's own, as the nose of the Dodo will start to rise. Let it gain altitude for a couple of seconds, then tap down to level the plane out once more. Eventually, the Dodo will start flying at it's maximum height and it will stop loosing height every time you turn.

===============LANDING=================
When landing, make sure that you are level with what you want to land on and let go of the accelerator, then start tapping the up button to make the Dodo's nose rise slowly. Do not press the up to make the Dodo's nose rise, or it will rise too high and land like a helicopter. If you are doing this right, the Dodo should be gradually loosing altitude and you should be coming in level with the runway/road that you are landing on. When the Dodo touches down, apply the normal brakes and the handbrake and, if you have done this correctly, the Dodo should come to a complete halt.

Here are the instructions in how to get and drive a burnt car.

2.Car must not be locked.



Instructions

1.Start in front of a Car that meets the rules (see above)

2.Start inputing the "blow up all cars" cheat.

3.Read Carefully!!!
When you get to the part of the code that contains the folowing combination t,s,c,t Press the first triangle and wait for Fido to open the door, when he does immediatly finish the code as fast as you can!!!

4.As soon as your done immediatly input the Health code ,even if you think you died; it doesnt matter just
assoon as you're done with the first code put it in!!!


5.And there you go!!Take it to Pay n' Spay to fix its missing parts (don't worry the car will still have "the burnt look" ,Unfortuneutly you can't put it in your garage or it will go back to normal


6.Have fun !!!!

This is an tip for those who don't know how to drive by shoot in missions,while in a car you push (L2 or R2) and circle but not all at once.You also have to have a Uzi to shoot.

What 'cho need:
-Patience
-The Tank cheat memorized
-2 read this carefully

Ok, first you have to start the mission. Get to the staging point (starting line). Get a precise memory of where the cars are positioned. Now, enter the tank cheat, make a few tanks acutally.
Line the tanks up all the way across the road, including the foliage that is separating the road from the place where the "Ball" was.
Double up the tanks if needed. The start the mission. The cheetas will keep running into the tanks, but after a while, they'll escape.
Get your fast car, start the race, and snake your way out. Good job, you just won my friend.

P.S. Dont cover up your starting point.

First of all take all service vehickles to the crane on the ship in Portland Harbor. Such as the firetruck,Ambulance,Cop car,FBI car,the Baracks ol truck,the Enforcer,and the Rhino tank.Then anytime you go there (to the harbor) you can get any of these vehickles by walking into the corosponding symbol.

chase the bobcat until you are near your hideout and ram it till it loses its package (use a big car, truck etc) don't pick up the package yet and try and get the person driving it to come out of his car as near to your hidout as possible.
if you do that succesfully you will have the car to yourself, but the doors are locked so youll have to push it to your hideout.
push it into your garage and let the door close.
when it opens it will be as good as new with the doors open and the bp ability etc.

follow that method but get rid of the traffic using the no traffic method so there will be no cars or police to get in your way and it will be alot easier.

While you do the mission where you drive Sal's girl to the party, park the limo and there will be a Cheetah parked at the party. Take the car to your hideout. Then get back in the limo, and park on the little highlighted area. Then the mission will continue.

When you're going to have a race, get a medium slow to slow car (trust me), input the Dodo Car cheat (Left, R2,Circle,R1, Down,L1,R1. When trhe race starts those drivers will fly around when they gain spped. This will result in the flipping upside down occasionally

There is the normal jet black FBI car and another dark grey FBI car. to get the grey car get 5 stars and steal a black FBI car. You need driving skills for this or you will die. keep ripping around for a long time. all the while the fbi is chasing you. after a while there will be FBI roadblocks that cover the whole road and stretch back 3 to 4 rows of cars. they are uninhabited (i think). they are the dark grey ones.steal one and have fun.

Yes, it is possible.

For first timers you should go to Francis International Airport and Activate the "Tank Cheat": Circle, Circle, Circle, Circle, Circle, Circle, R1, L2, L1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle

Also, contrary to popular belief, you can activate any code inside of any vehicles

Get inside the tank

Activate the "Flying Car Mode":
Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1

Do not have the "Better Handling Car" cheat activated, i find the tank difficult to control.

Turn the gun on top of the tank around so it is pointing directly behind you. You can do this by using the R3 or R4 sticks (i don't remember which stick it is). Make sure the gun is pointed directly behind you otherwise the tank will spin out of control once airborn. Now position yourself on the runway, preferably towards staunton island. Start hitting circle to fire the canon. It does not matter if you use the accelerator or not, the tank goes very, very fast. I repeat, very very fast. It won't be long and you'll be in the air. Be sure to continue to hit the circle button. Always hit the circle button, however, you can coast to gain speed, but slowly tap the up button to gain altitude. Now, you should be in the air in no time. To steer, just tap the d-pad buttons, DO NOT HOLD THEM DOWN, OTHER WISE YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN A CRAZY SPIN. Up and down on the D pad should be self explanatory. They are opposite on the R3 or R4 button, yet again, i don't remeber which one. You can land on the tall buildings, an excellent place to use the sniper rifle, oh yes. By the way, it takes alot of practice. I find the easiest way to land on a tall building is to be above it obviously, than right as you get to it, hold the up button so the tank is pointing straight up in the air, and it will drop down on top. And with a little practice, it is easier than the dodo plane to fly, and alot faster.

If you walk around Staunton for a bit you'll eventually see one of those guys holding a folder. Slay him and use a sniper rifle to zoom in on his folder...
I wouldn't dare tell you whats on it i'd get banned.

Get the Forellis attention. Right behind them there is a hill. If you are looking at the hill there is a lightpole on the left side next to the wall of the parking lot. Try to run of the hill diagonally to the upper left of the hill so your position ends up behind the lightpost. If done correctly, the forellis will follow you, won't make it up the hill and will slide down and get stuck behind the pole. I did this 5 times in a row so its pretty easy. Then you can either let him stay there or shoot him with a shotgun. For the second car, run up the rill diagonally so your position is toward the upper right. Let the car come up the hill and then run down parallel to the wall at the entrance. There is a sign that you can run behind. This is a little harder than the first car, but you should pull it off. If done correctly, you will be behind the sign and the 2nd car will try to follow you. Since there isn't enough room behind the sign for a car you can easily blast it with the shotgun.

the easiest way to get a cop car when on the streets is get to thh passenger side door press triange the cop will get out beat him wiyh your baseball bat (hit him untill he falls down) and steal his car also when you get in a cop car you will get a shotgun with 8 bullets.

To get a Flamethrower on Portland go to the elvated Station near the Diablo parking lot. When you get on the staion turn left and run on the tracks until you get to Head Radio. Walk on the tracks until you see the flamethrower jump onto the part of the roof and get the Flamethrower. Also on the roof is a Hidden Package.

In Staunton Island do the higher wanted level cheat (R2, R2, L1, R2, left, right, left, right.)till you get to 5 stars, then wait until some black sleek looking cars, pull up with the police cars. Then wait till loads of Police officers jump out with guns. Then quickly do the lower wanted level cheat(R2, R2, L1, R2, up, down, up, down.) till you are left with no stars whatsoever, then quickly get in the sleek black car and drive like crazy! Then quickly repeat the lower wanted level cheat, and Bob's your uncle you now have a brand new FBI car!

If you do the police missions and kill 10 criminals you get one police bribe. If you kill 20 you get two. Do this on each island to get 6.

pick up ray in a fast car and rip it north to the subway by love media and pin it underground until you get to shoreside vale you will be right by the airport.

to get to the 3rd island faster all you need to do is fly over to the 2nd island with the fly cheat (right r2 circle r1 l2 down l1 r1) and then simply take the subway p.s. you can not drive to the 2nd island or the subway on the 3rd island will be closed off

The way to get to the following island earlier,(Portland to Staunton, Staunton to Shoreside), you must have the Flying Cars cheat on and a fast car(or a Yardie Lobo). You must drive fast towards the broken bridges and angle your hood of the car up to make a good landing to the other side. With a Yardie Lobo, you can use the hydrolics to get a better jump and land easier.

Get to Shoreside Vale early without cheating

Background Information:

I can remember one of the first things I did after I reached Staunton Island was hijacking a boat in the attempt to drive over to Shoreside Vale. Unfortuantly like many of the people who also did this, I found that Shorside Vale is surrounded by an “invisible barrier” that prevents you from driving your boat over to it. Additionally if you choose to hug the coast of Staunton Island you will find a nice metal blockade to greet you. So the point I am trying to make is that it is impossible to directly motor boat over to Shoreside Vale. In a nutshell my way of getting to Shoreside Vale involves strategically driving a motor boat up onto land and then “pushing” it over on to the other side of the barrier where you can then easily drive to Shoreside Vale.

Actually Doing It:

Let me first warn you that this trick I invented is farily diffuclt at first, but I can almost guarantee that after you try it a few times you’ll get it. After a bit of practice you should be able to do it in less than 10 minutes. Once you are on Staunton Island (the 2nd Island), no matter how many missions you have done you can still do this trick. Start off by heading down to the docks and grab the police boat.(the police boat is the best boat for this because it is extreamley durable and reasonably fast) Head to your left in the direction of the metal blockade, when you are about 3 quarters of the way there survey the shores of Staunton Island and visually pick the closest area to metal blockade were you can EASILY put your boat up on land. After pinpointing the area where you will attempt to get up on, drive your boat far away from that location to pick up speed and then charge at you chosen point. Ideally you should land on or very close to the road, but most likely you land just out of the water on the grassy shore. TIP: It is much more important to land close to the road and have a good position away from the water rather than being closer to the metal blockade. Once that you have succefully gotten your boat on the shore now comes the fun part. Grab a car, preferably one that seems like it has a lot of horse power.
Here are the best cars for pushing the boat:

Garbage Car
Ambilenece
Any truck similar to the Triad Fishing trucks

Here are the ok cars for pushing the boat:

Seciurcar (for some reason tons of these appear when doing this trick at least for me)
Pickup Truck
Police car
Busses
Flat beds
Stingers

Here are some cars NOT to use unless you have to

Taxi Cabs
Vans
Any 4 passanger car that looks very generic

Be careful that you do not stray to far away from your boat or it might misterisouly disappear. If you have landed on the grass, before you even begin pushing angle your boat towards the road with the front leading and push with your car from behind if possible. TIP: Your guy works great for positioning and changing the angle of the boat on land, if you half to you can even use your guy to push the boat at an agonizingly slow place. Once you begin pushing your boat to the right on the road twords the army surplus store it is extreamly important to constantly check you car, the boat, and surrounding for smoke, because if your boat blows up its back to the docks. For the most part your boat is very durable and you only need to be really careful pushing it if is giving off smoke. The only thing that will severely damage it is cars blowing up and helicopter gun fire LOL (don’t ask me how I figured that out) Even though your boat will not take much damage your car will so it is vital that you constantly “swap” cars. While you are pushing your car it is important to be cautious of not getting a police rating. A cool aspect of pushing the boat though is you can ram cop car and people with your boat and not piss of the police. Ok now back to pushing your boat. It is important to try to keep your boat on the road as much as possible to avoid hitting trees and going up hills. Although I shouldn’t half to say it but try not to ram your boat into other cars, street lights, trees, builidings, ect… (this is priarmily for the people who could not understand why every time they tried complete the last mission for Salvatore Leone their car blew up) LOL
Once you have passed the army surplus store where the metal baricarde is located begin turning you boat to the right on the grass. It is important to notice the grass shore is a constant downward sloap twords the water and your boat will move faster than usual. When you reach the cement side walk stop pushing the boat with your car and park your car far away so that there is no chance of you accidently getting in your car when you press triangle. Get out of your and start pushing the boat with your guy so the bow (front) of the boat is facing the water. This part is difficult so take your time and make sure your boat does not go off the edge unless your in it. Constantly enter your boat and gun the engine to see if it’ll go over the edge. If it does’nt get out and push the boat with your guy again until it starts sliding down, then run around to the either side of the boat and press triangle. Finally head twords Shorside Vale, the shore is so low there it is easy to just drive your boat up onto the land rather then exiting from the water.

Implications???

I have done this trick many times and it has not affected the story plot of the game so far. But then again I have not yet beaten the game. The only bad thing about this is that when you die or get busted on Shorside Vale it brings you back to the Staunton Island jail or hospital. So you just have to do my trick all over again to get to Shorside Vale.
