I would advise using a PCJ 600 ( the motorbike ) or the scooter ( the bikes like the pizza boy one ). Once you have one of these make your way to the beach on the first island. I have chosen the beach, as it is very long and straight. Drive to one of the two ends and turn to face the long stretch in front of you. Start driving and push down to lift the front of the bike. Do not keep your finger on the down button because you will tip the bike backwards. Instead let go of it, the bike will try to go back to the ground, then you push down again. Basically you tap the down button to keep the bike wheeling. If you need to turn (which you shouldn’t ) try to use the analogue button as using the direction button will effect the pressing the down button. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 2) THE BEST WAY TO DO RAMPAGES Before attempting any rampage make sure you have a full life and full armour. This is because either gang members will starting shooting or police will be called and they will shoot you. Don’t worry you wont get busted, I’ll tell you how not to in a minute. This part is for most weapons. After collecting the rampage icon run to the nearest road, this is where the most gang members are or cars if that is what the rampage intends. Once there hold down L1, this will set a little target on the person. Press O to shoot them, let go of L1 and then press it again. This will target a different person, shoot them and carry this process. There some missions which use different guns. Always press L1 first to check to see if you can use this feature. If not then, just shoot them as normal. Always try and find a good place to stand as sometime there are a lot of gang members, and cops. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 3) THE BEST WAY TO SEARCH FOR HIDDEN PACKAGES The best way is to find hidden packages ( without cheating ) is to use a bike to go through all the ally ways. This is a lot quicker than walking and will save the frustration of when you cannot run any longer. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 4) THE POLICE MISSIONS To complete this mission you need to complete level 12 The best way to do this mission very easy is to use the tank shown in part 7 of this walkthrough. When you have the tank you can either use the tank to shoot the criminals or just run into them and they blow up. BUT !!!! If you don’t have the tank then you have bit more work to do. Make sure you have a lot of bullets in your uzi before starting as it helps a lot. Drive next to the car and shoot them. The car will loose control. If it does not do this then try to run it off the road so it crashes. They will get out the car, you should do the same and shoot them. This is very hard but if you keep at then it will work. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 5) THE FIRE TRUCK MISSIONS These are cool and can earn you loads of money if you become good at completing these. I would suggest doing this on the first island because on the second all the gang members try to drag you out of the truck and will fail you mission. Like the police missions you need to get to level 12 to complete it. When stopping to put out a car, always stop in a place so it easy to drive off quickly. This is because people run out of the car and down the street. It is very hard to get them, to what to do is….. Drive quite slowly in a straight line down the middle of the street. Have your sirens on so the cars move out your way. Hold O to spray the water and use the analogue to control the direction of the water. You can take you finger of the direction buttons because you don’t need to turn. Near the end there are a lot of cars and lots of people. What to do here is to put out one car at a time and then try to put out the people without moving. If they run off don’t chase them put out the other cars first. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 6) THE BEST BULIDINGS TO BUY There are two main buildings you should buy. The first one is on the first island. It’s the house with 1 garage and the swimming. This can be used to store your cars while still on this island. Once on the second island you must but the apartment block at the north of the island. It is buy the stadium down a ally. It has 3 garages which can hold 2 cars each. On the roof is a helicopter as well ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- 7) HOW TO GET A TANK This is the best part of the game. Once you have a tank you can use it to do most missions easily. There are many ways of doing this, the best way is this…. Stand inside the ice cream factory and start shooting. Get all six stars on you. But if you notice the police cannot see you, they just keep driving around. Well. The odd car comes in and if you stand by the door the police will see you. If you wait for a while there will come a time where there are just tanks. If you run out then and go near a tank the army men will run out. Wait till they get out, shoot them and then jump in the tank. Once you are in. Turn the rocket launcher so it faces behind you, keep shooting and you’ll go really fast. Take it back to the building described in part 6 and put in your garage. Save the game and then you’ll have a tank. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- If you need help on any part of GTA:VC then just email me at Alexj17@efc82.fsnet.co.uk and I’ll be happy to help.
