Yep. Just take 25 - 30 minutes of your time to build up your lung capacity. I worked mine in San Fierro, stayed close to the docks when I dived, went back up to get some air, shot some innocent pedestrians and then jumped back to the sea when the cops started to run after me.

Quick Q.

Once you've burgles that guys house, and you learn how to burgle other houses, where do you find the black truck to start a burgle spree ?

The game said ' between xxx- xxx hours, use one of these trucks to start burgle missions ', but i cant find a black truck anywhere !




At night, near the gym there are a few houses and next to one, opposite the house, there is the black van you need.

WHO HAS TRIED OUT THE JETPACK
just type in: L1 L2 R1 R2 up down left right L1 L2 R1 R2 up down left right

this is awesome i fly everywhere by jetpack now


Posted by etaab
Its a cheat ? or can you obtain one like a weapon at a certain part in the game ?

Posted by p800_london
you obtain the jet pack once you have completed the air strip missions, the jetpack appears by your air strip up by 'your house' where you can save it, there is also a motorbike by the jet pack the obvious choice of transport is the jet pack, also once you have completed flying school to different levels different planes and helicopters are in the hangers, for all golds you can get the army helicopter feactured in the piolet school, this is the only way without cheating to obtain the helicopter.

San Andreas is an awesome game in every respect except two things.
1) Not everyone likes rap, wheres vRock and VCPR, Vice City is much funnier
2) Only a handful of missions actually pay cash.

I really wanna start in the real estate side of things, but raising the green is proving difficult, without using cheats anyone with any suggestions?

Posted by etaab
How far into the game are you ?

Im sure by the end you'll have enough money to buy everything.

I listen to Flashback or the country & western radio stations the most. Radio Los Santos is also quite good. But i agree, much of the music in SA isnt as recognisable or memorable as the first two games on the PS2.

Posted by Lynx69
Ive nearly finished...i think im on the last or a few from the last mission.

Posted by Davo_169
i agree about the radio stations. theres no fernando martinez at all i dont think
they've brought back laslowe from "chatterbox" on GTA3, but his show really sucks ass, its not at all like it was on GTA3. its really disappointing.
they should've done a mixture of VCPR and chatterbox and that would be almost perfect

@SE rules
a few pages back i posted some really easy legitamate money making tips for SA if you like i have over 35 million buck

just a question. how much does the big pyramid casino thingy cost??

Posted by Davo_169
when do the victim clothing stores open????
im still on san fierro
and ive bought out every single arcticle of clothing available from all of the stores except victim

also the other day i accessed the boat school on las vegas without getting 4 star cops on me

A quick Q:

Do i need to complete all the driving school lessons to get my driving skill maxed out, or can i just build it up over time ?

Ive maxed out the bicycle and motorbike skills just by performing stunts and generally riding around like a lunatic. My driving skill is half way to the max..

Posted by Davo_169
i think you can get ur driving skill up without finishing the school, but it would take a hell of alot of driving to do so. what level are you up to on the driving school?? im up to the one where they make you drive through the city and back without crashing into anything AND in under like 3 minutes or something its hard

Posted by p800_london
i think your driving skill improves quicker when you go to driving school it seems to improve quicker, for some reason most of the time my driving skill has improved while im crashing, funny

Posted by Burgaz
Anyone else disappointed with the Rioting? It's all a bit lame... I thought everyone would be going nuts... Ah well

Just got all the territories i need time for the last mission!!

Posted by etaab
Woah, im not that far into the game Burgaz.. !

Well my driving skill is about 50% full so far, which isnt bad since im a pretty bad driver anyway ( due to the silly new camera in SA ).

Ive done the first 13 driver training missions, how many are there to do ?

Posted by Burgaz
Not sure on the Drivin school missions sorry... It's bin a while! Well i've done the final mission!! And whoa! It's a biggie!!

Now back to all those damn sub missions!!!

One more thing tho, I've got the double Uzi things, But does anyone know if you can get double sawn off shotguns?

Posted by etaab
Yes, i got mine today !

Thing is, CJ now looks like the T1000 from Terminator 2 running around with long metal arms ( the 2 shotguns ).

I have Hitman status on all the basic weapons now, pistol, shotguns, compact MG's, AK ( i love AK ) !

About 1 hour ago i made it into Las Venturas for the first time. I was a little disappointed though how quickly you can drive south from LV back to Los Santos. It took me less than 60 seconds via the highway.

Also, my driving skill is gradually going up. Its now over 50% full, so i dont think i'll bother doing the stupid driving school.

Posted by Burgaz
Etaab... Quitter!!

So you can have double Ak's too?? Cos i prefer the M5...

its worth doing the driving school as it opens up more missions from your petrol station chop shop and you then get the car dealership over the road when youve done them all which makes you cash

Posted by etaab
Ive got the car dealership anyway. I'll probably do them when i can be bothered to put the effort in.

@ Burgaz, no you cant hold 2 AK's, but when you reach hitman status your accuracy and rate of fire increase.

Basically, whenever i do a mission i always make sure ive got 200 ak rounds. No matter who comes at you, you take them down easy.

Posted by jontyf
I got maxed out ak rounds!
M4 is slightley better thoughn bit more expensive but its not as if I havent got the money
*cough cough - betting*

Posted by etaab
I dont bother buying most of the guns, never have done on any of the previous games.

I just visit places i memorise that have items laying around that respawn every 5 minutes.

For example, to get the sawn off shotgun, i visit the PigPen everytime im back in Los Santos to see Denise ( what a bitch ). The shotty is on the PigPen roof, which can be accessed from around the back.

So, as one day passes ( 24 mins real time ) you can easily build up about 250 shotguns shells. Its the same with the AK, pistol, body armour and melee weapons.

I havent found anywhere yet though that has a respawning uzi, which i always have to buy from ammunation or steal from dead Ballas gang members.

Posted by jontyf
Haha, on top of smokes roof there is a tec9 - quite a nice gun.
There are satchel bombs near some place in San Fiero, the only place I found emm.
My hour tally is about 65 and I am on 85 % im not going for 100 (especially now my ps2 broke!!!!)

Posted by Burgaz
Anyone found bigfoot yet? How about a mermaid? Sea Monster? Ufo? Leatherface?

Man i wish there was at least some proof of these being in the game at all!!?

I think i saw a shark the other day. It was about three times the size of a dolphin!!

Posted by jontyf
Yeah, there are sharks dolphins and turtles in the sea
But as for the bigfoot and leatherfoot speculation - confirmed false
People on the neoseeker forums cracked the cd and read the files - no bigfoot or leatherface names in the search
There could be hidden files, but I doubt it
But I swear I have seen a ufo before!
Around verdant medows at night I saw a weird light, strange


Posted by Burgaz
Hmmm... It would of been more exciting tho if they had of included some sort of mythical creature....
And just cos some people have searched the cd for stuff... Maybe R* named the files for the creatures different things in order to provent people searchin for them in the hex code?

Posted by jontyf
Indeed, I sincerley hope so
R* have got a sense of humour as well so I bet the "thing" is really funny in looks
Has anyone noticed that fido/claude (the main character from the GTA 3) has made and appearance, fido and catalina were kinda going out. GTA 3 was based in 2001 and SA 93 (?) which implies that fido went out with catalina for at leist a couple of years. Then in 2001 catalina shot him and stole all of his money.
Also CJ calls fido a "F*cking mute"

I've seen the UFO's in the country and western part as there look like giant firefly's.

Posted by Burgaz
Yeah... I've seen the lights in the sky... But i was hoping for an actual alien space craft!!

Ah well... If only...

Posted by BlueGender
Who knows but i bet you get to fly one in end

I want my flying licence

Posted by Burgaz
Ok... I've finished all the story missions... Found 100 tags... and that's about it...
I've got all bronze on all my licenses...
But i still ain't done Z's missions, i haven't done any taxi, vigilate, haulage, delivery missions... I haven't 100%'d one single girlfriend, i've only found about 3 horse shoes and one oyster...

Anyone here got 100% yet? I'm not sure on my percentage complete as i haven't looked but i will today when i finish work...

Posted by BlueGender
there's only 2 or 3 Z's missions and now its a cash point.

Posted by jontyf
I was on 85 before my ps2 broke
Dang
Zeros missions are easyer when you have a pilots licence.
I got all golds on nike and pilot school
Havent even started boat school

Posted by SE Rules
Does anybody no where all the available properties are to buy in the game...

Plus, do you have to knock off any shops like in VC, the extra missions of holding up 15 shops......

Cheers

Posted by jontyf
In the game on the map you will see a green house thingy
If you have your mind on a certain property go on start - map - set marker (circle) and drive to it
I am so so so so so so so so happy... my dad managed to fix my PS2... for free
He just took it apart, blew it and thats it

Posted by Burgaz
Jontyf... That's what dad's are for!

Has anyone done the bicycle courier missions yet ?

I checked mine, and it says im 33% through..

Looks like ive still got a lot of work to do, and ive only found 6 oysters, 3 horseshoes, 3 photosnaps, 56 paint tags, and i havent even found those other hidden things that i cant remember. I know theres more hidden items though, because i was reading the official guide in HMV today.

Posted by p800_london
where are the bike missions

Posted by etaab
No idea. I didnt read the guide properly, but at a certain point in a game you get access to them.

Basically you have to take parcels across town on a bike under a time limit. Pretty much like the taxi missions, except pedal power.

There also other hidden items, but i cannot remember what they are. Im going to buy the official guide i think after xmas. It wont cost me a penny since i have more than £10 worth reward points on my gamecard.

Posted by Burgaz
The Delivery missions are all over the place... Hippy Shopper... The Pizza place... Erm there's loads.... Have a look on www.gamefaqs.com and save ya self the money/points...

Posted by BlueGender
Hippy Shopper... The Pizza place.

I've done the happy shopper one
i dint know it was a mini mission till i jumped on bike just out side shop.



Posted by Burgaz
Can't remember the name of the Pizza place... But there's a bike around the back... It's like the VC pizza delivery missions...

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/grand_theft_auto_sa.txt

This will tell you anything you need to know
Im gonna call it quits at where I am know - 80%
Its not really fun collecting tags and horseshoes etc.
But it was really fun the rest of the game

Posted by methylated_spirit

Thats a very hard mission, keep trying and you will be able to do it

I got my cousin to do it because i couldnt, he did iton his 3rd try.

You dont need to do Zero's missions to continue the story line, you can finish the game then do them missions.

Posted by sonusingh27
Where people having problems loading GTA: SA on the new PS2?

Since I bought both and are waiting to arrive, I need to know.

Thanks!
