Dating hint:
It
is possible to date people from the in-game Internet. When looking at
their profile, click "Date". You then have to wait a few in-game days
for a negative or positive reply via email. If your date accepts, reply
to their email to meet them.
Police database hints:
-Use
a computer at a TW@ Internet Cafe to access the Liberty City Police
Department site at "www.libertycitypolice.com". Click the "Database" tab
at the bottom of the home page to get information on every character,
including Roman and Niko.
-Go to the Liberty Tree website's main
page and click the link to the LCPD website. There are a few interesting
things, like the Threat Level, but aside from that it appears bare.
However, when you go to the bottom and look at the copyright
information, the word "Database" is a small hidden link that leads to a
large profile list of criminals. Of special importance are Lola Del Rio,
the hooker featured on the box art, Eddie Low (the No-Name Killer), and
Niko Bellic, among others.
Be wanted as a pedophile:
Go
to a TW@ Internet Cafe and visit "www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com" to
instantly get a five star wanted level as a pedophile.
USB keyboard hint:
Insert a USB keyboard to type URLs and make the in-game Internet and police database much easier to use.
Call for backup in a police car:
Steal
a police car and whenever you are in trouble, press LB while your car
is stationary. Choose "Call For Backup" and within minutes you will have
two cruisers full of police who will fight on your side, unless you
shoot someone. Note: They will turn on you when they realize you are not
a cop.
Stopping police sirens:
Shoot out a police car's lights with a gun to cause their siren to malfunction.
Bumping into an officer:
When
you see a cop on the sidewalk while out in the city, you can push past
him like any other pedestrian while walking. However, if you keep
pushing and pestering a cop, even if you do not have a weapon or throw a
punch, he will try to arrest you.
Getting away from the police hint:
While
running away from the cops, you will have a circular area in which they
look for you. However, if you get out and another cop sees you, it
will change. To use this to your advantage, get barely out of that
circle which you will see on your radar, then just sit there for about
five seconds instead of flooring past it.
Instant six-star wanted level hint:
Before
unlocking all locations (especially the part of Liberty City where
Alderney City is located) go to any bridge leading to a locked place to
find a roadblock and police guarding the bridge. Run through or use a
vehicle/helicopter to get past them to immediately earn a six star
wanted level. Note: The police and police helicopters will start
shooting you. To get rid of the cops, go back to an unlocked location
and enable the "Remove Niko's wanted level" code. Note: If you are going
to the prison but it is still locked, land your helicopter carefully in
the basketball courts.
Getting rid of wanted levels:
Use any of the following techniques to get rid of your wanted level:
-Just enter a safehouse and save your progress. When you wake u,p your wanted level will be gone.
-Enter a marker for any mission.
-Enter a police vehicle, then quickly activate a vigilante or most wanted mission.
-Get
outside of the active radar zone and call a friend. If you reach
someone and not their voicemail, you will get rid of your wanted level
as the police are closing in.
Get tossed by a friend:
Invite
a friend to hang out with you and gently nudge him with your car, just
enough to knock him over but not enough to hurt him. After a few times,
he will open the car door and throw you out.
Friend in hospital hint:
If
a friend gets run over by an NPC on the way to see you, you will only
get his voice mail. A few in-game days later he will call to ask if you
can pick him up from the hospital.
Easy strikes in Bowling:
Choose
the first lane (all the way to the left) and take two full steps to the
left. Hold Right Analog-stick Down for about a half second, then press
Right Analog-stick Up. Note: Do not add any aftertouch to the throw.
Lap dance duet in Strip club:
Reserve
a lap dance at the strip club. After the performance is done and she
asks if you want another, accept twice to have her bring in another girl
into the room for a duet.
Prank phone calls hint:
When
you see phone numbers on graffiti or ads on buildings on in the subway,
call those numbers on Niko's cellphone to make a prank phone call.
-Dial
911 on your phone to reach the Liberty City Emergency Services voice
menu. You can then request that the police, paramedics, or fire
department to your location. They will arrive, look around for the
emergency, realize that it is a prank, and drive away.
Current music information hint:
To receive a text message listing the title and artist of the music currently playing, dial ZIT-555-0100 on your cellphone.
Avoid calls:
If
you want to avoid being interrupted during a mission by a friend, or
want to explore the city and do not want to get a call for another
mission, bring up your cellphone menu and enter the "Options" menu. Turn
"Sleep Mode" on to roam around the city at will.
Headshot hint:
It
is pretty hard to get headshots, which do count in this game. With some
practice, the following is an easy way to always get them. Press
[Auto-Aim] and use the Right Analog-stick to move the auto-aim target
around your victim's body. Then, barely move the Right Analog-stick as
you are shooting to put bullets in the chest and head, resulting in an
easy instant kill.
Drive-by shootings hint:
Call Roman
and have him send a taxi to you. Let the taxi drive you around to shoot
at people without the driver stopping. He will also do a great job of
running past the cops and blockades. When you get stuck, select to end
your ride at a destination without a wanted level.
Blind firing enemies hint:
To
take out blind firing enemies, aim for their shooting arm or hand while
it is exposed. Wound him, and he will usually stumble out of cover,
giving you a shot.
Shoot after you're dead:
Sometimes
after your character dies, you can cause your currently equipped weapon
to fire off during the death animation . Where it shoots is completely
random, and depends on the direction the gun is pointing as you fall.
This effect is most notable if you have a rocket launcher or assault
rifle equipped. Yo also have a greater chance of it happening if your
death animation lasts longer (such as from being blown up and flying
through the air due to a grenade or other explosive). While you do not
get any benefits from this happening, it is pretty satisfying to kill
your attacker after you die. Note: This also works the other way.
Sometimes NPCs will shoot you after Niko kills them. It is pretty rare,
but it can happen.
How to perform an evasive roll:
Lock
onto anything (whether it be in free-aim or auto-aim) and press SQUARE
while moving the Left Analog-stick Left or Right. If done correctly,
Niko will perform an evasive judo roll to his side.
One hit knockout hint:
To get a one-hit knockout, get a bat, go up to any person, lock onto them, and press Y.
Disarming people:
With a knife or bat equipped, run up to any person shooting or pointing at you with a gun while B.
Blowing up a hot dog stand:
Every
hot dog cart has a tank of propane sitting on one side of them. If you
shoot the tank or drive a vehicle into it, the tank will explode while
the cart will remain intact.
How to destroy cars faster:
If
you need to blow up a car but do not have any explosive weapons, simply
use any other weapon to cause a car to catch on fire and soon explode.
Aim at the rear wheel well of the vehicle and put in a few rounds to
ignite the car and cause an explosion. Note: This does not work on all
vehicles (trucks, vans, boats, helicopters).
Civilian warfare and assistance hint:
Go
to a car when a man is in it (this will not work with a woman) while
making sure that there are other pedestrians around you on the
sidewalks. Push or punch the car around the front, then let the man exit
and beat you up a little bit. Some of the male pedestrians will then
rush to help you while punching or pulling out knives on your attacker.
Sometimes, if an officer is around, he will arrest the attacker.
Locking cinematic view:
Note:
This is only possible with the fixed camera views attached to a
vehicle. Change the view to the desired cinematic view, then click the
Right Analog-stick and move it Down while still clicked. Release the
Right Analog-stick while in the Down + Click position. The view will not
change while you remain in cinematic view and remain locked when you
return to it (unless you exit your vehicle or the camera becomes
blocked).
Slow motion game play hint:
Change the point
of view during game play to the cinematic camera and slow down time by
using the horn. To choose the angles of the camera, tilt the Right
Analog-stick Left or Right to cycle through them.
Robbery targets hint:
It is possible to rob certain shops such as TW@ or the laundromat from the "Hung Out To Dry" mission.
Getingt taxi drivers arrested:
Go
up to any taxi and hit their car to make them get out and chase you
down. Find a cop and let the cab driver hit you. The cop will then
arrest the cab driver and force him into the back of a nearby police
car.
Getting hotdog vendors shot by the police:
Go up
to any hotdog vendor and lock onto them, then press A. He will try to
beat you up. If there is a cop nearby, let him hit you. The cops will
shoot him down.
Easier chases hint:
If you are having a
hard time following a target, equip a gun and shoot out their rear
tires. Eventually the tire will fall off the rim and your target will
start to slow down, letting you keep up with them at a medium speed.
Television channels:
The following is what can be seen when you turn on a television:
Weazel
Republican Space Rangers cartoon
John Hunter political commercial

VIG Insurance commercial
Weazel Wednesdays

Moving up stairs faster:
Instead of running up a set stairs, jump up them to go faster.
Running faster:
If
you are trying to run with a rocket launcher, as opposed to a pistol,
chances are the pistol will result in faster movement. If you are trying
to run away from anything, try to run with the lightest weapon (or no
weapon), if possible.
Regaining health hints:
-To
regain health during a mission, exit the mission area and go to a
Cluckin' Bell, hotdog stand, etc. Eat the food to replenish your health
if you are low and cannot find a health pack. This works great on
missions where there aren't any health packs in sight. Note: You can
also take a taxi to those locations during missions.
-Enter ambulances to get a small health increase.
Playing pool in safehouse hint:
Arrange
to play the pool activity with a friend and, instead of going to the
bar on the map, bring them to your Algonquin Northwood safehouse (if
available). Go near the pool table to play.
Control strip club music volume:
The
volume of the radio stations in the options menu is also used to
control the volume of the music inside strip clubs. You can turn it all
the way down to make a club completely silent and watch the girls dance
to nothing, which is kind of funny.
Various weapon locations and hints:
The following is a list of weapons, their locations, and hints on how to obtain them:
Carbine rifle
Use
a helicopter,boat, or swim to reach Happiness Island. Go inside the
first door of the Statue Of Happiness to find a security guard with a
carbine rifle. Kill him with your pistol and take the rifle.
Desert Eagle
To
obtain the Desert Eagle before you can buy it, take it from the gun
salesman in Broker after killing him. Note: Doing this will prevent you
from making any future purchases at this location. This will also cause
bodyguards with shotguns to pursue you.
Grenades
Go
to the Meadows Park area in Dukes and go straight for "The Monoglobe".
Walk in the water to the center of the base and climb up to find hand
grenades early in the game.
M-4 assault rifle
Go
to the Easton area on Algonquin and at the Grand Easton Terminal, go up
the stairs in front. Keep going around that floor until you reach a
small pond. Move past it until you see a turn going left, then go to the
left to get in between a tall building and a smaller one. At the end of
the passageway is a dead end. Turn and you will see a glowing orange
garbage can. Behind it is an M-4 assault rifle.
Rocket launcher
Swim to the island north of Algonquin and climb up the north side of the island. There, you will find a rocket launcher.
Shotgun
To
get a good shotgun early in the game, go to the strip club. On the way
out, there is a manager's office that you can enter that has a large
Remington shotgun on the floor.
Sniper rifle
There
are two smokestacks along the north coast of Algonquin. Climb the
ladder on the eastern-most side to find a sniper rifle with a laser
sight.
Easy shotgun ammunition:
Enter any police cruiser to automatically get five shotgun shells.
Early full pistol and shotgun ammo hint:
To
start the game with full pistol and shotgun ammo, unlock the ability to
save by sleeping on the bed in Roman's home. The knife is also helpful.
Go outside Roman's home and kill a few people until the police appear.
Kill a police officer and take his gun, then immediately run into
Roman's home and sleep on the bed. Save the game if desired. When you
wake up, your wanted level will be down and you will still have the
pistol. Go back outside and kill more pedestrians. When the cops appear,
run up the stairs and turn around at the top of the stairs, then face
the door going outside of Roman's home. When the cops go through the
door, pick them off with your new pistol. Watch your health and do not
worry about picking up the guns. If your health gets low, sleep on the
bed. Wake up and when you go outside, there will be lots of weapons. The
shotgun will take longer because not every cop has one. However, if you
enter the police cars that have been abandoned outside the apartments,
you can easily get five shells for the shotgun for each car you enter.
Easy money hints:
-An
easy way get money is to go to an ATM and cause a traffic jam to the
surrounding area. Wait for someone to take money from the ATM and then
kill them. Take the money they dropped on the ground. Run a short
distance away and come back. The money should reappear on the ground.
Repeat this as many times as you want. Kill more people accessing the
ATM and their money will also reappear.
-To get easy money, go to
an area where there are a lot of people and dial the "Spawn Jetmax"
phone number cheat. Position yourself so that the boat spawns above the
people and kills them without raising your wanted level. Pickup the
money dropped by the people you killed and repeat as desired.
-Steal
a Securicar and blow it up to earn about $1,000 from the piles
surrounding the wreckage. To do this without getting a wanted level,
drive it and get it damaged until it catches fire and explodes. Do not
attack it with a weapon, or else it will result in a two star wanted
level.
-Park an armored truck in your parking space. Blow it up
to take the money. Make sure the blown up truck stays in the parking
spot. Then, save the game. Load the game. The truck will be brand new in
your parking spot. You will keep the money each time you blow it up and
save the game.
Go to Broker or Dukes and find an armored truck.
Stop the truck by standing in front of it or blocking it with a car.
Then, take out a rocket launcher and blow up the truck. Enable the
"Remove Niko's wanted level" code. Collect all the money around the
truck.
-Go to the strip club and kill the strippers there. Each
one drops about five or six wads of cash. Note: All the guards will
attack you.
-Go to the Modo clothing store and kill the cashier.
Go behind the counter and stand by the cash register, then press LB to
open it to get between $30 and $200. You will also get a one star wanted
level for killing the cashier.
-Go to any Internet cafe and
walk to the snack bar. Get behind the counter and stand by the cash
register, then press LB to open the register and take out the cash. You
will usually get $30 to $200. You will also get a one star wanted level
for doing this.
-After completing the thirty text message car
deliveries, you can spawn Turismos or Super GTs in front of the garage
and park them inside to make $11,000 each time.
-Walk into any clothing store and take cash register without getting a wanted level.
-Complete
Brucie's missions until you go into the police computer. Once you have
done that mission, look at the "Top 10 Most Wanted" section and select a
victim. Make a note of his name, then search the "Police Database" by
name. Enter your victim's name and choose "Search" to have the
criminal's location placed on your map. This is the easiest and the most
fun way to get money.
-Go to the Alderney State Correctional
Facility and get inside. Then, spawn a car or motorcycle and have the
"Remove Niko's wanted level" cheat ready to activate. Kill orange
dressed prisoners by hitting them with your car as they usually drop
lots of money.
-Complete all thirty car deliveries to Stevie to
receive a text message informing you that any car except emergency
vehicles brought in will be sold and you will be paid a reward. There is
no limit on how many times this can be done.
Unlock ski mask:
To
unlock the ski mask so you can have it on at anytime, simply complete
the "Three Leaf Clover" mission. It will become selectable as a hat in
your wardrobe.
Unlock Whiz wireless phone:
To unlock the "Whiz Wireless Phone", complete the "Photo Shoot" mission for Playboy X.
See Brucie on "Money Maker" magazine:
Zoom
in on the magazine in Playboy X's penthouse coffee table to see Brucie
on the cover of "Money Maker" magazine with the subtitle "How To Spend
It Wisely".
Unlock Claude outfit:
Kill Playboy X and
get his penthouse, then save the game and restart the system. When you
reload your saved game, flip through your outfits and you should have
Claude's outfit (the main character in Grand Theft Auto 3). Everything
from the leather jacket, the green cargos, and the black shoes with the
white stripe on the bottom will be there.
Sex toys hint:
Pink
"vibrators" are found throughout all of Liberty City. A good place to
look is in the warehouse where the final mission takes place. Search in
the little bundles of trash on the ground on the inside of the
warehouse. They can be found elsewhere, but this is a good place to look
since it is also the starting location of Party mode.
"Unleash Ninja Guru" message:
At
any TW@ internet cafe, go behind the cashier desk and look at the
printer to read a strange error message that reads "Unleash Ninja Guru,
lol".
Calling a taxi:
-To call a taxi, position Niko
near traffic--preferably somewhere on the sidewalk. Spot a cab and
press LB to have Niko automatically call out for a taxi. It is also
possible to order a taxi with the cell phone if you have problems
spotting one. Additionally, Niko can eventually earn the ability to call
a limo as you progress in the game.
-You can also approach a taxi that already has a fare from the passenger side, then pull out the passenger and get in.
Calling emergency vehicles:
Dial
"911" on your cellphone to reach a voice menu that will allow you to
call the police by dialing "1", an ambulance by dialing "2", or a fire
truck by dialing "3". Make a selection and wait for them to arrive. They
will stop and look around for the emergency, allowing you to easily
steal their vehicle.
Self-healing fire truck:
If your fire truck catches on fire, use the water cannon to put out the flames and prevent it from exploding.
How to 'burn out':
To
do a burnout, hold [Accelerate] + [Brake]. If you keep doing this, the
smoke will change color and eventually your tires will burst.
Easy 360s hint:
Gain
some speed in a car and hold [Handbrake] until you have completed a
full 180. Just before you complete the 180, release [Handbrake] and hold
[Brake], which will spin you the next 180 degrees. Obviously you will
end up facing the direction you were before the attempt. However, some
vehicles cannot do this. Also with some vehicles holding [Brake] will
spin you back the way you came while using the handbrake, resulting in
back-to-back 180s.
Turning off vehicles:
Simply
pressing TRIANGLE when in a vehicle will cause Niko to immediately exit
it. However, when your vehicle is stopped, you can hold TRIANGLE to turn
off your car before Niko gets out of it.
Faster motorcycles hint:
Note:
A PCJ 600 or NRG 900 is recommended for this trick. To drive it faster,
accelerate and just as your bike is about to shift into third gear, tap
the Left Analog-stick repeatedly about every second. Don't tap it too
fast or you will lose rear tire grip. If done correctly, the engine will
gradually get near to the end of its last gear. When it gets to the end
of its last gear, the revs will jump, indicating that you are traveling
at the bike's top speed.
Brucie's races hint:
Get any
car and, when you get to the race, wait until the race starts. As soon
as it starts, shoot out at least one tire on each car, but make it
quick.
Stealing cars quicker:
When you are being chased
by the cops and you see a car you want to steal, don't wait for Niko to
break the car window. Instead, take a gun out and shoot at the driver's
or passenger's side window and he will just get in the car.
Getting any vehicle from any mission:
During
transport missions, there will be cars, boats, or planes that can only
be used in that mission. Simply kill the person that is with you in the
vehicle and it will be yours to keep.
No helmet while on motorcycle:
Use
the following trick to ride a motorcycle without Niko wearing a helmet.
Tap TRIANGLE at any point during the animation where he puts the helmet
on, but just before the helmet actually appears. Doing this cancels the
animation and Niko will not be wearing his helmet. If you wait too long
and press that button after the helmet has appeared in Niko's hand, it
will still cancel the animation but the helmet will immediately appear
on Niko's head.
How to stay on trucks:
Once you jump on
a truck, keep tapping the [Jump] and Niko will stay on. Note: This does
not work all the time, and if he falls, he loses a small amount of
health.
Make other cars honk:
-Drive up to a busy
intersection and start honking your horn to have other cars join in the
fun and honk as well. Get close to a police car and honk your horn. They
will run their siren to honk with you.
-When stopped in a car in
a large traffic jam, tap out the rhythm of the musical phrase "Shave
and a haircut" on your horn to have another car in the traffic jam
answer it with the standard two beep "two bits" response.
Funny GPS voice:
Steal
a luxury car with a GPS. If it has a female voice, sometimes it makes
the "bing bong" notification sound herself while giving directions. For
example, "At 100 yards, turn left." At the junction, she would say "bing
bong" instead of an actual beep.
License plate messages:
Certain
vehicles have funny notes on their license plates cover or border, such
as the "Ruiner" 1980's Camaro clone that has the saying "Ruining
Imports Since '67".
Fast repair hint:
While in a
vehicle, your health will be restored and any damage to your car will
fully repaired if you drive over a health pack. This is very useful
while playing online in a car that has caught fire.
Free re-paint hint:
To
have your vehicle painted to the color of your choice, go to any Pay
'n' Spray and have them fix your car. It costs $100. However, if you
drive back out then back in without hitting anything, they will give you
a free paint job. Repeat this until you get your favorite color.
Roadside assistance hint:
If your vehicle breaks down and cannot start, call any number saved in your cellphone or "911" to have your engine start again.
-If your car breaks down, hit it with a baseball bat to get it started again.
Extinguishing your own vehicle fire:
If
your vehicle catches on fire, run over a fire hydrant. Then, position
your vehicle over the spouting water to extinguish the flames before it
explodes.
High beam headlights:
To turn on the brights in a car, hold SQUARE for a moment. The bright lights turn on, even in daytime.
How to keep more cars:
-At
the start of the game, it seems like you can only save two cars parked
in the "Residents Parking Only" parking spaces in front of your safe
house. However, if you can find other "Residents Parking Only" places
around the city, you can also save cars there even if you do not have a
safe house at those locations yet.
-Outside your first safehouse
is a small parking area marked with "Residents Parking Only" signs to
park vehicles and save them. Do not park your vehicles fully within the
lines. Instead, park vehicles partially within those lines to have more
vehicles parked and saved there.
-This trick only works up until
you leave the current game session. If you shut off your system and play
a multiplayer game or load your most recent save, all but two of your
cars will have disappeared. It seems to either save the two cars closest
to the center of the parking space, or save two at random.
Saving helicopters hint:
Land your helicopter in the space for cars in front of a safehouse to save it.

Revisiting your kidnapping victim:
While
driving through southern Alderny right after completing Garry's
kidnapping missions, you might notice a blip on the radar. Drive to the
small house to see the mob daughter, who will scream and calls for help.
Her father and several gangsters will appear and attack you.
Getting inside the Alderny Correctional Facility:
Steal
a helicopter and fly over the top of the prison, then land on the
basketball courts to avoid getting a wanted level. Once you enter the
prison, you can see prisoners talking with each other, eating on the
benches, a crazy prisoner, and correctional officers on patrol.
Hospital sex poster:
There
is a funny hospital poster in the north Alderney hospital on Long John
avenue that you can see when you go inside the hospital for a mission.
On the left hand side after you walk in, read the Sex poster. Note: It
may help if you use your camera or a sniper rifle to zoom in.
Shootout location hint:
To
find a location that reduces your wanted level, has free Turismos, and
is well positioned for a shootout, enter the Grotti auto store in Middle
Park East at the intersection of Bismarck Ave. and Pyrite St. (across
from Perseus). Go to the upper level to automatically reduce your wanted
level of four or more stars down to only three. It is also a good place
to hold up for a shootout with the police if you blockade the stairs
with one of the show cars, then take position on the large balcony just
outside the front windows to shoot everyone. When you are ready to
leave, steal a show car (all Turismos) and jump it out a top level
window for a great escape, while leaving behind a few stars.
Instant four star wanted level:
In
Algonquin on the street named Hatton Gardes is a police station that,
if you drive in the lot where it is located, you will get a four star
wanted level automatically.
Fighting without getting wanted levels:
-Go
to Fishmarket South where the Helitour is located to find a big line of
people waiting to board a chopper. If you stay in that area where the
choppers are, you can beat people up without getting wanted levels. It
is rare but you might get a star.
-You can also use this location
to get easy money by killing everyone standing in line for the helitour
at Fishmarket South. Eventually there will be corpses all over the
place you will see that the money on the ground will appear again and
again. Repeat this until you are satisfied with the money you have
collected. Note: The background will start to flash or objects may
disappear. Simply leave the location and return and it will return to
normal.
Riding the rollercoaster:
Steal a Blista
Compact or any small sports car and drive to the abandoned rollercoaster
at Firefly Island. Knock the section of fence next to the road near the
ticket booths and drive onto the section of tracks that is almost level
with the ground. Drive your car around the roller coaster. You may get
stuck on the turns, but you can carefully squeeze by them if you drive
carefully.
Abandoned stroller:
You can find an
abandoned stroller on a sandy hillside just southwest of Francis
International Airport. It is in the park where you meet Derrick. It is
not interactive but simply part of the scenery.
Happiness Island shirt:
There
is a secret Happiness Island shirt laying at the highest point on the
statue's base that is reached by foot. It resembles a glowing red
rectangle. Once it is picked up, Niko will automatically put it on. It
is a navy blue sweatshirt. The front shows the statue and reads
"Happiness is..." and is continued on the back with the word "...land".

Brucie's tattoo meanings:
The
tattoo on Brucie's breast means "I" in Chinese, the one on his right
forearm means "straightforward person", the one on his left forearm
means "unqualified", and the one on his waist actually means "shemale".
Finding Eddie Low, the serial killer:
During
the game you'll hear mention of a serial killer on the radio,
television and Internet. You can find him in an alley close to the Auto
Eroticar dealership in Alderney. When you get close to the alley a
circle called "friend" appears. He asks you for a ride. Go with him hear
all the crazy things he has to say.
Finding Frenchie Fox, the strange criminal:
Go
to an internet cafe and type in www.libertycitypolice.com. Scroll down
to the bottom of the site and look for the word "Database" with an icon
of a lock next to it. Choose "Database" and select "F-J" at the top. One
of the first people to appear is "Fox, Frenchie". Frenchie is a 30-year
old girl who prostitutes and donates the "profits" to charity. Her
location/birth place is unknown.
Little Jacob survives a headshot:
Reach
at least 60% friendship with Little Jacob, then call him up to buy some
guns. After purchasing weapons, Little Jacob will drive away in his
car. If Little Jacob gets stuck with his car, you can shoot him in the
head. You cannot open the doors of his car and it will disappear if you
get in another car. When you leave the area where you killed Jacob, he
will then call you up to ask you if you will give him a ride back home
from the hospital. He survived the headshot, apparently.
Finding Lola the lollipop girl:
Lola
is a prostitute seen during the opening sequence with a lollipop. She
can be found near the docks. Investigate The Police Database to find out
more info on Lola.
British pedestrian:
On Lockowski
Ave., there is a British man in the auto car dealership. If you bump
into him, he will shout silly British things like "You wanker" and so
forth.
Karate pedestrian:
At the bottom area of Broker is a beach where, at the edge nearest to Algonquin, you'll find a pedestrian practicing karate.
Translating foreign languages:
Pause
game play, go to the "Display" option, and turn on the subtitles. This
will translate all the foreign languages that are spoken into text,
allowing you to read what they're saying at the bottom of your screen.
Extra money on "Blood Brothers":
Just
before making your decision as to who you are going to snipe (Derrick
or Francis), call Francis. He will offer you more money to kill Derrick,
resulting in an extra $5,000 for the mission.
Digital porn on "Do You Have Protection":
During
the mission "Do You Have Protection", when you enter the building with
three men, look at the television they were watching to notice that they
were watching porn.
Easy completion of "Final Interview":
Before
Niko goes in for his interview at the law firm, equip him with a knife.
During the interview, the instruction caption will tell you to shoot
the lawyer. Doing this will make your escape harder as you will have to
deal with security guards and the police if you leave through the front
door (or a group of police if you jump out the window). Instead, kill
the lawyer using the knife and grab the evidence. You can just walk out
as if nothing happened. Note: This may also work on any mission
requiring a single decisive kill on an unsuspecting target.
Easy completion of "Holland Nights":
Rather
than fighting your way through the building to kill Clarence, reach the
apartment block and go out on the street. Take out your sniper rifle
and take him out with a headshot, then simply get in your car and drive
away.
Easy escape path on "Holland Nights":
As you
proceed up the stairs to chase Clarence, you will see a green health
kit. Do not take it. Instead, continue after Clarence and follow
McCleary's advice about not using your weapon until you are on the
second floor. Otherwise, Clarence will just get into a vehicle and
leave. If you wait until you are on the second floor, he will climb to
the roof. After choosing Clarence's fate, you automatically have a three
star wanted level regardless of what you selected. You must battle your
way out. Because you are going down, you have a distinct disadvantage
in cover and will take heavy damage. To give yourself an advantage, at
the start of the mission, park a fast car on the street close to the
opening in the gate. Do not pull up to the gate. Use the stairs to your
right to give chase. Once you have gotten to the roof and selected his
fate, descend to the level with the first aid kit (green box). Sinceyou
left it there on your way up, you will know what level you are on and
can power up. Go to the side of the building where your car is parked
and jump over the railing. Upon landing, you will not lose much health.
Sprint to your car and get away from the cops. If done correctly, you
should not take a single bullet from police. Note: The health pack is a
requirement to survive the fall.
Faster completion on "Out Of Commission":
To
avoid repeating the SUV chase after arriving where you must enter the
car with Roman and Jacob, destroy the enemy car first. You will see an
intermission sequence with Roman and Jacob saying that they will get
them next time. Choose to retry the mission and you will be taken
directly to the shootout.
Purple dildo on "Out Of Commission":
When
you are going through the warehouse while chasing Jimmy Pegarino, you
will trigger an intermission sequence with Pegarino when you enter a
small room, talking smack with him. After the sequence, look under the
set of stairs in front of you to see a small purple dildo with a mound
of dirt around it.
Cheat code warning on "Revenger's Tragedy":
Using
cheats affects the outcome of this mission. On the boat section, Little
Jacob comes down to pick you up from under the helicopter. However, you
will be far behind it and will miss the pick-up, thus failing the
mission.
Assassin's missions hint:
Most of the
Assassin's missions are much easier when using a helicopter. Simply land
on a high position overlooking your target and use the sniper rifle to
kill them.
Random character missions and locations:
-There
are a total of 22 total random character missions. All but the
following count toward 100% completion: Jeff, Cherise, Ivan and
Clarence. There are six on the first island (three for Brian, and one

for Jeff, two each for Marnie, Sara, and Pathos, and one each for
Hossan, Clarence, and Cherise), and four on the third island (two for
Eddie Low, and one each for Gracie and Ivan). Note: The missions for

- He and his gang are hiding out in Steinway, in the large park to the
west. Go to the road east of them then hop over the wall. There is a
small wall down here that will give you cover. Take all four of them out
from up here.
Antoinio Rivette
Crime - Racketeering
Location
- He and his friends hide in the train station at South Slopes. Go
there and go up the stairs. He has three helpers with him. Be careful as
it is very crowded.
Rodrigo Stavnes
Crime - Racketeering
Location
- He and three friends are on foot. Look for the blip location and go
to the road west of it. The GPS will lead you to the one east of it. As
you get close they will run to the street here. Run them over or shoot
them. They will go north and split up at the end of the street. Kill
them before that happens to save time.
Fernando Tisdel
Crime - Human Trafficking
Location
- Hides out in Hove Beach. He will come out in a car with three of his
friends to the south of the blip. They will then make a run for it. Keep
up with them. Try to kill the driver as that will get them to stop and
get out, or simply riddle the car with bullets.
Tyler Pickrel
Crime - Human Trafficking
Location
- He is in Meadows Park, to the northeast of the big circle. He will
make a run for it when you are close, but on foot. Run him over or gun
him down.
Preston Pecinovsky
Crime - Credit Card Fraud
Location
- He hides out in the northeast of Bohan. Approach him from the east.
You can now gun them all down or blow up their two cars with a rocket
launcher. The rockets are expensive; only use them if they try to get
away. You can usually just snipe them, even out of the car as they move.
If they take off, steal a car and follow and kill all of them.
Alonso Goralski
Crime - Burglary
Location
- There are two people here at the airport. When you approach, one is
in a car. The other person stays near the gatehouse where the blip was.
Hunt down the one in the car first then return for the other person. Do
not get too close to that second person because he has a shotgun.
Bert Reker
Crime - Drug Trafficking
Location
- They hide out in a junkyard in Bobao. Approach it from the southeast.
As you go down the road, stop and pull out a sniper rifle. From up here
you can kill a fair number of them already. With their ranks thinned,
go down and take out the rest.
Freddy Paparo
Crime - Grand Theft Auto
Location
- Freddy is north in a parking lot in Steinway close to the waterfront
and to the west of the bridge going north. As you get closer you will
see Freddy and three friends pull out in a car. Fill the car with
bullets until it explodes or they bail out then kill them all.
-Algonquin
Shon Kikuchi
Crime - Gang Related Violence
Location
- He is in North Holland, in the block across the northwest corner of
Middle Park. As soon as you get close, he will make a run for it in a
Banshee. At first he is rather slow. Try to get close and shoot him out
of the driver's seat. If that does not work he will speed up. Pump
bullets into his car until it breaks down so he goes on foot or it
explodes.
Jimmy Kand
Crime - Gang Related Violence
Location
- He is in the northern area of the X building in Northwood, the same
one Dwayne is at. Enter it through the south and use the stairs, just to
the right and then around the corner to your left. On the first floor
you will notice that the red target icon changes from an up arrow to a
circle. That means you are on the correct floor. Ignore everyone else
and shoot Jimmy in his room as he lays there passed out.
Simon Nashly
Crime - Racketeering
Location
- He and his gang hide out in Fishmarket South in the building with the
sign Pier 45 on it that looks like a "#" sign on the map. You will find
them all over the different levels of this building and they move
around. Watch the radar closely to get their positions to find them all.
Do not worry if cops show up, as you can also kill them. Your wanted
level goes away as soon as you kill the last of the gang.
Tommy Francovic
Crime - Racketeering
Location
- As you approach him in Castle Garden City, he will take off on a bike
driving north form his starting position. Ram him with your car then
drive over him or shoot him.
Barry Lamora
Crime - Human Trafficking
Location
- He is standing with two friends on the northeast corner of the
apartment building on the south area on Colony Island. Kill his friends
while he runs away, then chase him down. He moves south towards the old
hospital.
Lino Friddell
Crime - Hit and Run
Location
- He and two of his friends are close to Middle Park. As you approach
the blip, they will run to the east in that alley then go north to an
SUV parked there. If they make it, they drive off and you have to chase
them down. Two easy ways to kill them are to drive into that alley and
run them over; or drive to the alley in the north and as they go for the
SUV and kill them. This also has the advantage that you will block the
SUV in case they do make it there.
Juan Haimo
Crime - Burglary
Location
- Found near the north end of Star Junction. When you get close, three
bikes will take off from there to the east. Stand where they come out
and gun them down before they can get anywhere. Kill any that you can.
If one makes off, chase him. Bump the bike to make him fall off, then
drive over him or shoot him.
Darren Covey
Crime - Arms Dealing
Location
- He hides with five of his friends in a parking garage in Purgatory.
You can get up there over a ramp to the south. When you get the red
targets, stop and get out of the car. Take out your sniper rifle and
shoot the people from this distance. Stand east of the barrier. By doing
this, they will most likely not have a chance to hit you. You can also
use the RPG on one of the cars to decimate them, but sniper is cheaper
and almost as effective.
Leo Brodell
Crime - Drug Trafficking
Location
- He is in a building just south of the three X buildings in East
Holland. The entrance is on the north side, to the very east of the
building. When you stand in front of it, the entrance is to the left and
to the right is a blue banner on the buildings reading "Real Loose
Clothing". The first one is just on the first landing. The second one is
on the other side where the steps go up again. Exactly one level above
that one is the third person. The next level is clear. Another person
stands at the landing of the next level. Then, go up to the door leading
to the roof. Shoot the door and immediately to the right behind it is
the next person. The last person hides on the roof, to the right around
the corner and behind a small wall when you get out there.
Christov Mahonvic
Crime - Grand Theft Auto
Location
- He is in a building in Fishmarket South, just north of the Broker
Bridge near the waterfront, with a lot of garbage trucks parked to the
south. One of the story missions also brings you to this exact building.
All of them are hidden in there. Snipe them from the south, just when
you get past the fence. Anything that is not reachable that way (for
example, the person in the upper level just to the left when you enter)
needs a close up visit. The rest should fall easy prey to the sniper
without you getting hit.
-Alderney
Marty Boldenow
Crime - Gang Related Violence
Location
- He is hiding out in Acter, north of the gun shop. Approach it from
the south. He has an entire crew there helping him out. Kill them all
but be careful as they are equipped with assault rifles.
Noel Katsuda
Crime - Gang Related Violence
Location
- He and his gang are in southwest Tudor. Approach it from the south
and west. Throw a grenade over the wall then go in and clean up the
rest. His gang has SMGs' so use the cover here.
Rodney McEniry
Crime - Racketeering
Location
- He and his crew are holed up in a back alley in Berchem. Approach it
from the south and go into the alley to take him and his three friends
down.
Glenn Lushbaugh
Crime - Human Trafficking
Location
- In Alderney City, just south of the highway across from the Auto
Erotica. As you get close he pulls out of an alley and drives off. Chase
him and shoot his car to pieces.
Phil Bacerra
Crime - Hit and Run
Location
- He is close to the Booth tunnel, just to the southwest of it near the
marina. You will see two trucks there. Each has two men in them. You
must kill all four to complete this task.
Sergi Szerbin
Crime - Burglary
Location
- He is hiding next to the Pay And Spray in the north. Drive to the
first street to the south of the one in front of the shop. You can use a
rocket launcher to blow up the car in front, doing a lot of damage to
them. However this is very expensive with little pay off. Instead, use
the sniper rifle and kill what you can from here. They will not come at
you. Get closer and clean up those still hiding. You can do this easyily
without a single shot hitting you.
Danny Hatmaker
Crime - Arms Dealing
Location
- He hides out at the port area, Normandy. These people also stay in
place, around the large tanks close by. Watch the map to see targets
that are above you, but most are on ground level. The last two hide
between the containers to the southwest.
Mervin Eskuchen
Crime - Drug Trafficking
Location
- He sits with his friends in two Patriots to the west of the TW@
Internet cafe. Approach them from the north using the street just east
of the blip. When you get the red targets, get out of the car with an
assault or carbine and target the men in the cars. You should be able to
kill at least one of them by doing this. They often also stop, and you
can easy pick all four off the streets. If they get moving, get in your
car again and hunt them down. They drive very close here around the
blocks all the time. You can also try to wait at a corner and blow them
up with a rocket launcher, but that is unnecessary expensive.
Frederick Harrison
Crime - Grand Theft Auto
Location
- He and his friends hide in Tudor, near the old bridge. One of the men
is to the south under the bridge itself. The rest all hide up on the
bridge. As you go up, check behind you. They like to shoot you in the
back. Use your sniper rifle when you can see them from afar.
Keenan Burdett
Crime - Armed Robbery
Location
- He and a lot of his gang are hiding out in a multi-storey car park in
Leftwood, slightly to the north from the Pay And Spray. Go to the
southwest corner here and enter through the door in the south wall. In
here is a Sprunk soda machine. If you need some health while doing this,
it will help. Go through the next door to the north. Follow the ramps
just slightly to your right. Go up the levels. There are a few hiding
behind pillars here, but the main force is on the roof. As you get sky
above you, use your sniper rifle and shoot them. The last of them make a
stand in the northeast corner. Remember the Sprunk machine at the
entrance to refill your health if needed.
Hidden multiplayer cars:
You
can find a secret car in the following modes: Party, Free For All,
Story Line, Bomb da Base II, Cops 'n Crooks, Car Jack City, Mafia Work,
and Deathmatch.
Online rank points hint:
Choose
"Hangman's Noose" in multiplayer mode and select the hardest difficulty
setting. Each time you win, you will get 4,500 points. This takes about
three minutes on average.
Increased accuracy with assault rifles or machine guns:
When
using assault rifles or machine guns, shoot one bullet at a time
instead of unloading on your opponent. Tap R1 to let one bullet out
instead of simply holding the button and letting loose a full-auto
barrage. Tapping will ensure that you hit much more often and kill the
enemy faster. You will eliminate recoil and thus hit the target 90% of
the time. Go for head shots. Even when they are fully armored, a
headshot can take someone out in two hits. Zoom in while aiming by
pressing R3. This will also improve your aim. Crouching also helps
improve your aim. However, never crouch in a game where auto-aim is not
allowed, as you will probably die since you cannot move, crouch, and
shoot at the same time. An added benefit is that you will conserve more
bullets. You will find that you only will use a whole round of ammo, and
require five bullets at most to kill someone.
Cars in Deathmatch mode hints:
-In
a match that allows auto-aiming, cars are just deathtraps since all
someone needs to do is hold [Aim] and fire three bullets to kill you.
Only use a car to get to the battle zone, not to plow through
it--someone will notice and make fast work of you before you hit
someone. They are horrible for cover as well since windows can be shot
through. Also, a skilled player can still hit you by clipping your arm
or leg because they always slightly show while in cover.
-In a
match that doesn't allow auto-aim, cars are very useful as it is far
more difficult to hit the small part of your body that remains when you
are using a car for cover. You can also drive through the battle zone
with ease
-When your car catches fire, avoid jumping out if you
are being shot at. Keep driving as you have a good ten seconds before
you must get out. That can allow you to drive to safety while bailing
out (while driving) afterward, without sealing your own fate because you
are a sitting duck when you exit any vehicle.
Make your blip disappear:
Crouch
the entire time to make your blip disappear. If the blips are off or
set on "Far", your enemy will not see you until you shoot them (if they
survive). If the blips are on "All" or "Near", you can set up ambushes
in places with stairwells, such as the apartment complexes. Run up and
crouch at the top of the stairs while looking down just enough for you
to clip them as soon as they start running up. The blip on the radar
shows you are above them, but that is all Ass far as they know, you
could be on the roof. They'll be taking shots to the face on the first
stairwell because the blip above your head is gone due to your
crouching.
Recommended cars:
The following is a list of every vehicle type in the game and the recommended vehicle for Race and GTA Race modes:
TYPE - VEHICLE
Supercars - Comet
Sports - Coquette
Muscle - Sabre GT
2 Door - Ruiner
4 Door - Sultan
Executive - Cognoscenti has higher top speed, PMP 600 has quicker acceleration.

Avoid dying when on fire:
Press Start button while on fire and to not lose health. Resume the game once the fire is gone.
Muting annoying player hint:
Press
Up to bring up your phone and select "Phonebook", then scroll to the
player's Username and choose it to see a menu. One of those will be
"Mute"; hit that and you will not have to hear him for the rest of the
match.
Creating Lara Croft:
After reaching rank 1 in every event to unlock all clothes and items, use the following options to create Lara Croft:
Gender - Female
Hair - 2/5
Head - 3/4
Torso - 4/4
Legs - 6/6
Glasses - 1/2
Hats - None
Avoid trophy blocking:
When
you first begin the game, do trophies such as "Cleaned The Mean
Streets", "Walk Free", and "One Man Army" as soon as possible. That way,
you enable the cheat codes for health, armor, and ammunition without
worrying about them blocking any trophies. This will make the rest of
the story missions easier.
"Chain Reaction" trophy hint:
-First,
create a traffic jam in an enclosed area, such as the Booth tunnel, by
blocking off both lanes with two cars. After the cars back up, steal
some of them and squeeze them between the others so that there are three
or four next to each other. Then, throw a grenade at the cars in front
and switch to your rocket launcher to destroy the others.
-Park
ten vehicles at any gas station around the pumps, then get an RPG and
aim it at the gas pump. All ten cars should explode with only two shots.
-Note:
An RPG or grenades are required for this trick. Simply go to the
Westdyke neighborhood on the third island ( found towards the top of the
island). A bike shop is there that has eight bikes in it. Take a bike
in with you and stack them all in the corner, then shoot a window and
shoot an RPG at the car outside. Then, just blow up the bikes. You will
probably get a one star wanted level for stealing bikes, then probably
one or two more stars for the explosions.
-To easily unlock the
"Chain Reaction" trophy, have the "Remove wanted level" code activated
in your phone. Go to the "AutoEroticar" store in Alderney to find a
group of cars in the garage and in the lot. Stuff all the cars into the
garage. As police see you breaking windows and moving cars, they will
try to arrest you. Enable the "Remove wanted level" code to make them go
away, then continue to stuff the cars in the garage. Once you have ten
or more, throw some grenades in the garage and to unlock the trophy.
Make sure you have completed the other trophies such as "Walked free"
before attempting this, because you may not be able to earn it once the
code has been enabled.
"Dial B for bomb", "Retail therapy", and "That's how we roll" trophy hints:
To
unlock these trophies, get your friendship for Little Jacob, Brucie,
and Packie to 76%. They will then call you with the details.
"Dig It" trophy hint:
To
easily get free toll booth passing, acquire a police car, fire truck,
or ambulance. With these vehicles, you can pass through any toll booth
without paying the toll and also avoiding the cops.
"Finish Him" trophy hint:
Go
to the Helitours located at the bottom right-hand corner of the middle
island to find five employees wearing orange reflective vests. Start
with the person that is furthest away from you, or else a second one
will come over and double-team you if you start with the first one. Each
person will last about two counters.
"Half million" and "You got the message" trophies hints:
It's
possible to unlock these trophies at the same time. If you have not
unlocked the "Half million" trophy via mission money, simply wait until
you complete the game. Completing the "You got the message" trophy will
add about $400,000 to your bank account. Find all 30 car to then bring
cars to the garage for money. Just find SUVs in the neighborhood and
sell them for $7,000 when in mint condition. If you follow these steps,
you will unlock those two trophies pretty fast.
"Join The Midnight Club" trophy hint:
Repeatedly
join and quit matches until you are the host, then set the lap number
to one and start a helicopter race with a few opponents.
"One Man Army" trophy hint:
-Find
the bridge that takes you to the second island and has train tracks
underneath. Walk along the tracks toward the second island, before you
are allowed to cross the bridge legally. When you are about half way,
you will gain a six star wanted level. Stand on the train tracks for
five minutes to unlock the trophy. The police aren't a problem because
they will be on the bridge above you and cannot shoot. Their helicopters
are above you so you have the bridge as cover from them.
-Go to
the hospital at the northwest corner of Algonquin and get a motorcycle.
Set a waypoint at the hospital and drive to the nearby bridge that takes
you to the third island. For this trick to work you must not have
access to the third island. Slowly reverse backwards over the barricade
on the bridge until you get a six star wanted level, then drive directly
back to the hospital. As you are returning, break through the small red
fence to the right of the hospital and get on the elevated train
tracks. Wait there for five minutes and the trophy is yours. No cars can
reach you on the train tracks and the helicopters can't shoot
accurately enough to hit you when driving the motorcycle at a moderately
fast speed.
-Try entering one of the locked boroughs early to
get an immediate six star wanted level by taking a car on the subway (or
elevated train) tracks. This is easy to do near the corner of Grand
Boulevard and Leavenworth Ave. in North Bohan, near the police station.
From Leavenworth, take a left onto Grand and go up the little hill. When
you reach the crest of the hill, look to your left to find a very short
wall above a subway tunnel. Drive a car over that short wall, then
drive underground toward North Algonquin. When you have a six star
wanted level, stop your car and remain there for five minutes.
-After
the middle island is unlocked, steal a helicopter from the helitour
site in the southeast corner and fly over any other area you have yet to
unlock to instantly get a six star rating. Fly off the map in any
direction and stay in the air. The police helicopters will only chase
you so far. You will get the trophy after five minutes.
-Unlock
the "Add one star to Niko's wanted level" code in your cellphone, then
go to any one of your safehouses and activate that code six times. Wait
five minutes, then enable the "Remove Niko's wanted level" code to
unlock the "One Man Army" trophy. Note: Doing this will block the "One
Man Army" and "Walk Free" trophies.
"Rolled Over" trophy hint:
Go
on the Algonquin Bridge that connects Dukes to Algonquin and find the
part where the lanes split at the bridge when going westbound. At the
split is a small ramp that, when hit at high speeds, makes your car roll
over several times. Try to land in the lower area for more room to roll
over.
"Sightseer" trophy hint:
Go to the Helitour
section and take all three tours. You can select to skip the tour at no
penalty. After you have ridden all three, go to a safehouse and save the
game. Then, go back to the Helitour section to find the helicopters in
new positions. Ride a new tour. When you land again, the trophy will
unlock.
"Walk Free" trophy hint:
-Try entering one of
the locked boroughs early to get an immediate six star wanted level by
taking a car on the subway tracks. Start picking off cops one by one to
raise your wanted level. After you get a four star wanted level, go in
your car and drive into the subway tunnel. Once you leave the flashing
wanted circle and your wanted level disappears, the trophy will be
yours.
-Simply enter the restricted area in the airport and use your driving skills to evade the police.
-Get
in a taxi as a passenger, set a far away waypoint, and tell him to
drive there. Enable the "Add one star to Niko's wanted level" code and
repeat until you have a four star wanted level. Skip the taxi ride to
your destination. When you get out you will lose your wanted level and
unlock the trophy.
-Go to Francis International Airport and steal
an Annihilator helicopter, but make sure that you have the four start
wanted level from entering the restricted area. Fly at least as high as
the Empire State Building over the city. Note: The game will not allow
you escape the police while in the stolen helicopter. When you are going
fast enough and very high, jump from the helicopter and land in a body
of water. You should move so fast that you leave the "circle" behind,
but you won't die because you landed in the water.
"Wheelie Rider" trophy hint:
-Hop
on a motorcycle and go to Francis International Airport. Reach full
speed, then press Left Analog-stick Down to bring the front wheel up.
-Find
a Faggio scooter and a straight road, then drive fast down the road and
pull back on the Analog-stick to hold the wheelie. It is easier to hold
the wheelie with a Faggio because it does not tip as easily as other
motorbikes.
Swinging catapult:
First, drive to the park
with a swingset at the Firefly Projects in Broker. Using a light
vehicle (like a Blista, Futo, or Comet), run into the swings at a
moderate speed to get the chain moving. Back up and drive into the
center pole at a good speed. If you have a rear wheel drive or four
wheel drive car, drive forward until the front end is on the middle pole
and it is in the air. Get the vehicle as close to vertical as possible
without it flipping. If using a front wheel drive car, drive it in
reverse into the pole. The car will eventually get tossed far into the
air. Note: Sometimes Nikko will be tossed through the windshield instead
when driving forward into the pole.
Swimming through objects:
You can go through certain objects at certain places while swimming.
Skydiving out of safehouse glitch:
Go
to any safe house containing a brown closet that is tall but not too
wide. Jump to the corner while holding the Left Analog-stick Left. If
done correctly, you should jump out and skydive before suddenly
teleporting back to the street.
Skull box inside Packie's head:
Position
Packie between the camera and Niko, then move until the camera is
inside Packie. Look at the center of his head to find a box with
skulls..
Endless armored cars glitch:
There is a glitch
in Aldeney at the intersection of Tudor and Port Tudor, near the prison
where you visit Gerald. When you see a total of nine armored trucks
arriving back to back, highjack one and then block the road. When
another appears, blow them up one by one. There is a total of about
$1,100 on each truck, which is useful when just starting out and needing
money.
Breakdancing truck glitch:
Get a Mule delivery truck and get it to flip on its side, then hold Up or Down to make your truck spin around.
Launching up stairs:
When walking or running up stairs, jump at the first step to sometimes skip or launch yourself up the stairs.
Invisibility glitch:
Get
to Schottler Medical Center and enable the "Spawn Sanchez" code. Then,
look at the inside of the hospital from the bottom of the stairs and
repeatedly press A on the "Cheat" option of your cellphone until you see
a Sanchez appear inside the hospital. Go up to it and get on the bike.
Either all the walls will disappear, all the walls will have inverse
colors, or everything will turn very bright white. No matter what, Niko
will be invisible along with his gun if you choose to fire it. The
muzzle flash appears but the gun itself does not. You can get on and off
the bike. Note: If you try to go outside the hospital you will become
visible again.
Disappearing Niko glitches:
In the top
left corner of Algonquin, there are a couple garage doors facing the
water at the back of a building. When facing the garage doors, go to the
far right one and slowly walk up to it. When you get close enough, Niko
will completely disappear.
Falling through ground glitches:
-Take
a large vehicle (such as an SUV) to Francis International Airport and
drive sideways under a moving plane so that the wheels are pushing into
you. If done correctly, the car will drop below the world. After a
couple seconds you will respawn back on land with the car gone.
-Reach
the part where you go into the subway about halfway through the mission
"Your Shirt, Your Boots, Your Motorcycle". Stay to the left and, when
the subway car comes towards you, keep left while trying to get
in-between the wall and the subway car. Doing this will drop you into
"blue hell" for a few of seconds before popping you back up.
-In
the "Fishmarket South" (where you do one mission for Bernie), find the
Anchor statue near the sea. Go towards the water and over the little
dock into the water, then swim to the right (south) until you find a
wooden "pier" against the wall. It will have square gaps that you can
hop in through. Jump through the one to the far right (the first one you
swim past) and move towards the wall to fall down into "blue hell".
Surviving high falls hint:
Get
on the top of a large building via helicopter, then light yourself on
fire with a Molotov cocktail on the edge of a building and proceed to
fall off. When you hit the ground, you will not lose any life (except
getting burned). This happens because the animation when Niko gets
burned messes up the falling animation.
Removing blood stains with food:
When
you are injured and have blood on your clothes, go to a Burger Shot, a
Cluckin Bell, or a nearby food stand and eat. Focus the camera on your
blood stains to notice that the blood stain will disappear after you
finish your food.
Swimming under city glitch:
Go to the
northern part of the map, just northwest of Butterfly Street in Bohan.
Once there, get down to the outskirts of the land and walk toward the
corner between the brick wall and the cliff. You can walk through the
invisible wall there. Look up towards the city to see the city from
below. Proceed onwards to swim under the city.
Walking under water and the city glitch:
Make
a Party game and get the Annihilator. Then, go to the second island's
coastline and follow it until you reach the large parking lot. Jump down
to the water and swim to the bottom side. Note: There are rocks on the
side of the coastline. Swim to it and get on top of the rocks. You
should be able to get on top of them before ending up going through
them. Your character should now be on the bottom and won't be able to
see until you walk down a short distance.
Damage-immune vehicle hint:
To
make any vehicle immune to rockets, grenades, and other weapons, take
out a girlfriend on a date and get in your car. Then, shoot through your
window to do a drive-by and scare her. A short intermission sequence
will show your date leaving. Your vehicle is now immune to damage.
Car revs on its own:
Call
Brucie for a race and head to the starting line, but do not start the
race. Instead, shoot the person that has the car want and get in it.
Drive to the side of the road and let the car idle to hear it rev
automatically.
Cloning vehicles hints:
-Do the
following if you get a vehicle you really like and you do not want to
risk losing it in an accident, or you want one for every safe house.
After unlocking access to Algonquin, take your car and drive over to
your South Bohan safehouse. Once there, drive east toward the Northwood
Heights bridge that leads into Algonquin. From there, turn around and
drive back over the Northwood Heights bridge. After you get across, turn
right onto San Quentin Ave., in Fortside. As soon as you make the turn,
you will notice a couple cars identical to the one that you are
driving, just in varying colors. To save them, just alternate between
cars every block until you get to your South Bohan safehouse to store
one and drive the other one where ever desired.
-If you happen to
come across a rare car (Infernus, Coquette, Super GT) and want more of
them to keep, drive up to the safehouse in Bohan. There will be at least
ten of them lined up around the safehouse, just for you.
Killing your date glitch:
Usually
Niko can scare his dates but cannot kill them. When on a date with
someone, have them follow you to any coastline. Then, swim out into the
middle of the ocean. Once you go a few yards in the water, Niko's date
will instantly die. Note: This glitches the game. If Kate gets killed,
her telephone will always be busy when called. Niko will also receive
date invitations from dead people labeled as "Unknown Caller".
Shopping cart slide glitch:
In
online multiplayer mode, find a shopping cart. Make sure you have
someone with you. In multiplayer mode, everyone has their own shopping
cart. In other words, that the shopping cart on your screen is invisible
to everybody else. Run into the shopping cart and make sure it moves.
While it is moving, try jumping on it. If done correctly, your character
will appear as if he is drunk and stumble everywhere, but on your
friend's screen it will appear as if you are sliding on the ground.
Sometimes you will slide/stumble longer than others. You can do this in
Story mode, but you will only stumble.
