BUSINESSES
Recommended business order:
Buy the businesses in this order for the best way to
make money.
1. Kaufman Cabs: As soon as you are making money,
stash as many Zebra cabs
across the city as you possible. Some missions depend
on you getting to the next
garage with a Zebra. Always drive into the garage for
money pick ups. You can
run over the Haitians awaiting you.
2. Print Factory: Makes a lot of money for the outlay. If
you get past the run on
making money, the other runs are easier.
3. Sunshine Autos: If you buy this next, you can start
filling up the drop off garage
as you go on the other missions, saving time.
4. InterGlobal Films: Has a lot of missions, but gets quite
a good amount of money
and fun.
5. Cherry Pickers: You need 50 consecutive drug deals to
make money. The best
place to sell is on the beach. There are always lots of
sales and you can spot cops
easily.
6. Pole Position: Waiting for your $600 lap dance bill is
boring. The only
consolation is that your other businesses are making
money while you sit there.
7. Boat Yard: Should be last. Although it is cheap, the
race is very hard to
complete. You also get very little money out of it when it
is up and running.
Pole Position Strip Club business:
Buy the Pole Position Strip Club located just west of the
Ocean View Hotel for
$30,000. Enter the hallway in the back of the building
and go in the first door on
the left for a private dance. You will begin spending
money on her. Get to $600
and the business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can
make per day is $4,000.
Print Works business: Buy the Print Works located
northeast of Escobar
International Airport for $70,000. Complete the two

you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $8,000.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom: Buy the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom located just

down to the lower garages
and locate the dry erase board with a list of cars on the
wall. Steal all the cars on
the list and bring them to this garage. When this is done,
the business will begin
making money for you. Each time a list is completed, the
business will make more
money and a new car for the showroom will be
unlocked. The maximum amount
you can make per day is $6,000 total ($1,500 per car
list).
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (2): After you have
purchased the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom, go under the building to find a pink
mission circle. This is a
mission where you are entered into races. Once you
have started the races,
enable the "Rhino" code. Get into the Rhino, then shoot
all the cars that are in the
race. When the race starts, there will be no cars
remaining except yourself. Once
you have completed the race, you will automatically win.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (3): When doing the lists
of cars, when you get to
the third list (sports cars), you can find almost all of
them on the road the
Showroom is on, or at the main terminal of the airport.
Sit there and they will
appear. On the last list, you must buy the Cherry
Poppers ice cream shop to get
the truck.
Boatyard business: Buy the Boatyard in Vice Port for
$10,000. Get in one of the
boats and start the Checkpoint Charlie mission. Take the
boat through all the
checkpoints within the allotted time. After this, the
Boatyard will begin making
money for you. Repeat the mission to increase the
amount of money that it brings
in. The maximum amount you can make per day is
$2,000 to begin with. This
number increases each time the Checkpoint Charlie is
completed.
Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory business: Buy the
Cherry Popper Ice Cream
Factory located between Little Havana and Little Haiti
(almost directly across from

Whoopee and get 50 buyers in
a single run. You cannot leave the truck or get arrested
or killed. After this, the
business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can make
per day is $3,000.
Film Studio business: Buy the Film Studio on Prawn
Island for $60,000. Complete
the four missions related to the Film Studio that are now
unlocked in front of
Hanger "D" and the business will begin making money
for you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $7,000.

end of Little Haiti for
$40,000. Three missions will become unlocked. Get in a
Kaufman Cab and

money for you. The
maximum amount you can make per day is $7,000.
GLITCHES
Helicopter and garage glitch: If you own Sunshine
Autos, then this trick will work.
First, fill at least one of your garages up to the maximum
amount of cars at
Sunshine Autos. Then, get a helicopter. It doesn't matter
which one. Attempt to fly
it directly over your garages at Sunshine Autos (as high
as you want). You will see
the message, "You cannot store any more cars in this
garage." It's the same one
you see when you pull a car up to a full garage.
Sink under the city: Take a motorcycle and go to your
first save point. Go down
the stairs were there is a police star and continue
straight until you cross the
street. You will technically be going through bushes and
stuff. Anyhow.. a little
futher there will be in the grass a ligther green patch of
grass. If you go in it with
your motorcycle, you will start sinking into it and finally
fall under the city and see
under it!!!
Disappearing Car: Blow up a car next to one of your
garages. Then, try to push
the destroyed vehicle into the garage. As you are almost
in, the car will just
disappear. Of course, if you blow up a car already in
your garage, it will just be as
good as new when you close the garage and then open
it.
Selfish Cops: Find a cop somewhere in the city and then
point a gun at a
pedestrian in front of the cop. It must be an automatic
aim weapon. The cop will
not do anything even though he sees you pointing a gun
at a person. Then, try
pointing at him. You will get 2 quick stars on you.
Interesting behavior.
Speedy Roof Ride: Make sure you have a chainsaw. Now,
jump on top of any car
and use the chainsaw. It will come down on the top of
this person's car. They will
sometimes get scared, get out and run away. But,
sometimes they will get scared
and drive rally fast and wild. Stay on the top of the
speeding car and go for the
ride of your life.
Car Riding Glitch: If you try to get on top of a car, it will
usually carry you
wherever it goes, but sometimes you will slide off as the
car accelerates. It
happens rarely and will happen every time you try it
during that time until you
reload the game. Then, usually it will go back to normal.
Change size of the moon: Use the sniper rifle at night,
zoom in on the moon, then
shoot it. It will get bigger or smaller.
Change size of garbage bags: Get a sniper rifle and zoom
in on a group of two
garbage bags. Start shooting at them to make one very
big and the other very
small.
Become a pedestrian: Go to the Leaf Links Golf Club.
When you see a caddy, steal
it. Stay near the person you stole it from. Usually, they
will try to steal it back
from you. Make sure they are closer to the passenger
side of the caddy when you
do this. As they are walking towards you to try to steal it
back, be ready to hit the
gas. As they are getting back in the caddy, floor it.
Instead of kicking you out of
the caddy, they will take your place, and your body will
disappear. The camera will
stay on the caddy, but you will be gone and the
pedestrian takes your place. Then
let go of the acceleration button and the camera will
follow the pedestrian around.
The only thing you can do at this point is change the
radio stations and look
around with L2 and R2 buttons. This is a cool trick but is
very hard to do. It takes
some practice but eventually it will work.
Stand on car in mid-air: When you go over a ramp or
jump, open your car door in
mid-air. You will get out and will be standing on the car
while it is floating in mid-
air. This can also be done by driving off a bridge and
bailing out in mid-air.
Sink through a car: Get a Packer, and drive a motorcycle
on top of it. Exit the
motorcycle and you will sink through the packer as if it
was not there. You will then
pop up next to it.
Vehicles disappearing from garage: Vehicles stored in
the garages at the Hyman
Condo complex can disappear from them if you take the
helicopter on the roof and
return later.
Store more than two cars or motorcycles in garage:
When you have two cars or
motorcycles in your garage at your safe house, you
usually will not be able to
store any vehicles inside. To get around this, get off the
car or motorcycle in front
of the full garage. The garage will open. Get on your
motorcycle or into your car
quickly and drive it into the garage before the door
closes.
Get more than two motorcycles into a single garage: Get
a motorcycle and drive it
to a garage with two other motorcycles. Drive your
motorcycle to the garage and
get off to open the garage door. Then, get back on and
drive it in before the
garage door has a chance to shut. When you save the
game, the third motorcycle
will remain in the garage.
Climb a tree: Go to where a beach or a body of water is
located. There should be
some palm trees nearby. Find one that is bent (or
curved) and try to climb it.
Note: Do not run up the tree or you will fall in -- walk
slowly. When you get close
to the top, slow down. If you continue walking, you will
fall.
Aim with cell phone: When the phone is ringing, equip
yourself with any kind of
auto-aiming weapon (such as a pistol). Press R1 to aim
it at a random pedestrian.
While still holding R1, press L1 to answer the phone.
Tommy will continue to aim in
the same spot, though now he is using the cell phone
instead of the gun. You may
release R1 and he will continue to aim at the same spot,
even if the pedestrian
moves. Note: Depending on how you move, he may
switch between holding the
phone to his ear, and pointing it at the blank spot that
the pedestrian used to
occupy.
Shoot yourself: Get a semi-automatic weapon (Uzi
recommended) on an Angel or
a Freeway. Look left and press Square to reverse and
Circle to shoot. You will
appear to be shooting yourself.
Fly under Vice City: Get a helicopter (Hunter
recommended), and go to the front of
the WK Chariot Hotel in the Downtown area. This is the
same hotel that was across
from Candi Suxxx's and Shrub's love nest. It is marked
"Vice Point Langer" on the
front. Take your helicopter and fly it under the front
awning. Basically, fly it
directly up to the front door. Then, hold X and fly
straight up. You will fly through a
fake (non-solid) roof, and be inside the hotel. You can
see the spiral stairwell that
you have to run up to take the photos in the Martha's
Mugshot mission from the
outside. From there, fly downward and you are now
under the game map and can
go anywhere. Note: Do not fly too low or too high or you
may appear above
ground or end up dying in the water.
Fly under Vice City (2): Go to your Mansion. If you have
a Sea Sparrow get into it.
If not, try the helicopter on the roof. From where the
Sea Sparrow is located, turn
around and go into the pool area in the mansion. When
in the pool area, fly up
through the roof. When you are completely above the
ceiling of the pool area, fly
north towards the black box/room. When you are over
the brown underworld,
press Square and go under the game world. You can
then fly anywhere under the
water.
Fall from water to sky: Enable the "Dodo (flying" and
"Float on water" codes. Go
into the water and drive around. Gain speed and fly into
the air. Try to flip your
vehicle upside down in the water. If done correctly, the
car will sink and a clicking
sound will start. You and the vehicle will drop out of the
sky and land somewhere
random in Vice City. Note: You may need to try this a
few times with different
cars. If it does not work immediately, you will die.
Re-appearing cars: If you have any vehicles in a garage,
you can blow it up into
scrap metal. If the metal is in the garage, make the
garage door close. Once you
have it open again, the car that was destroyed will
appear again, while the scrap
metal of the car that was destroyed is still there.
Never fall off motorcycle: Take a PCG 600 to a clothes
shop. The easiest one
is "Collar And Cuffs" with the "Mr. Vercetti" outfit. Get
off the motorcycle, and get
the outfit. Once it is gone, place the motorcycle parallel
to the edge of the small
steps, so that the clothes still respawn. Once you do
this, get on the motorcycle at
the exact moment when you buy the clothes. You will be
stuck the motorcycle as
though the game merged you into it. This now allows
you to drive around safely
without worry of falling off. Also, it lets you use an
assault riffle as a drive-by
weapon. However, once you fire the gun, the bike will
return to normal, allowing
you to fall off again and disabling the gun. However, as
long as you hold Circle,
you will still shoot assault rifle. This glitch can also be
done with other motorcycles.
Never fall off motorcycle (2): In order to do this glitch,
you need to be in a point in
the game where your cell phone is ringing. Also, you will
need any motorcycle. Go
to Rafael's and get off your bike. If your cell phone is
ringing, hold L1. While
holding L1, walk over and get the clothes icon, then get
back on the bike. You
must hold L1 the entire time. Drive off and release L1.
The screen should turn
black, and you will then should be standing up, as if you
were not on the bike. You
can pull wheelies all the way back and not fall off. You
can also do a lot insane
stunt bonuses that you otherwise would be incapable of
doing. While on the
motorcycle, switch to grenades or molotov cocktails to
throw them off. Note: The
cocktails will heavily damage your bike. This trick also
works in cars, and you can
see Tommy's legs appearing from the bottom.
No-Hands Motorcycle: With this glitch you can "ride" a
motorcycle without ever
being thrown off (until it blows up...) First off you have
to have someone calling
you in the game (make sure you don't answer it). Then
find a place with a change
of clothes, and while the phone is ringing, grab the
spare clothes and jump on a
bike. Now suddenly good ol' Tom is a master
motorcyclist, he no longer needs to
use his hands when riding and he cant be thrown off.
The bike still handles the
same, except you can't go into Pay 'N Spray because it
doesn't think you are on
the bike. However you can do some great insane stunts
without any worry of flying
off the bike. I've done this several times and it seems to
work fine. I have
currently only tried this at my Hyman Condo, so I don't
actually know for sure if it
works anywhere else, but I don't see why it shouldn't.
Free money in taxi without a passenger: When you start
the taxi mission, try to
pick up a person next a police officer and get one star.
Stop next the police officer
and make sure he approaches your car from the
passenger side (where the
person you picked up should be sitting). As soon the cop
opens the door, speed
away. The cop will pull out your passenger, but the
game will think that he is still in
the taxi. Upon arrival at the location which the
passenger specified, you will be
awarded money, as if he was still in the car.
Zeba taxi damage immunity: For some reason, the entire
Zebra taxi can appear
damaged except for the passenger side. The two doors
on the passenger side
cannot get scratched or removed, other than when the
entire vehicle explodes.
Headless driver: Find a Ruger or a Sniper. Look for any
car, get in front of it, and
make it stop. Make sure only one person is inside the
car. Shoot the person in the
head and run quickly to the driver's side door. Use the
rear view (L1 + R1) and
move the car slightly. Watch as the headless driver
walks to you.
Phil Cassedy's missing arm: During the first intermission
sequence in the
Boomshine Saigon mission, Phil gets one of his arms
blown off by the bomb he
placed on the boomshine barrels. Continue the mission
and get Phil to the doctor.
Watch as he gets out of the car. The arm that he blew off
is now switched with his
other arm.
Regenerating people: To see people appear out of the
middle of nowhere, aim the
sniper rifle in the distance at a sidewalk or a road.
People will just appear and walk
around.
Unlimited Colt .45 ammunition: If you have a Colt .45 in
your weapon slot and
complete The Shootist mission with a score of 70 or
more, it will have unlimited
ammunition.
Floating road blocks: Go into an alley that has orange
road blocks. Start shooting
them and moving them around. Walk a few blocks away
and when you return they
should be floating in the air.
Taxi driver pickup: Steal any taxi cab and immediately
press R3 to start a taxi
mission. The person you are supposed to pick up is often
the taxi cab driver you
just pulled out.
No star for police collision: Normally, if you hit a cop car
while driving your wanted
level will increase. However, if you are driving and hit
the cop head-on, there are
no repercussions (no wanted level increase, no cops
chasing you around, etc.)
This may be helpful in missions that are time-sensitive if
you can make sure to hit
the cops head-on.
Mid-air skid marks: Get a motorcycle (PCJ 600
recommended) and find a Packer
driving down the road. Stay directly behind its ramp,
just keeping up with it.
Suddenly, hit the gas but do not launch off the top of the
Packer -- just roll back
down the ramp in reverse to see your skid mark floating
in the air.
Mid-air skid marks (2): Get a Packer and park a car on
top of it. Drive the Packer
in reverse so that the car falls off the top of it. The car
will leave a big skid mark
hanging in the middle of the air.
Lose extra health from prostitute: If you use a prostitute
to get your health above
100 and go to a save point, your health will drop back to
100 when you exit the
save point.
Lose extra health with a prostitute: After you complete
the Pizza Boy mission and
get 150 health, if you pick up a prostitute, your health
will drop to 125
immediately. Thus, after the Pizza Boy missions, there is
no longer a point of
getting a prostitute for health gain.
Weapon stuck on detonator: After you get a 100%
completion, the game awards
you with unlimited ammunition, among other things.
This causes a glitch if you get
the bombs from Phil's Place or the car bomb from 8
Ball's. The weapon selector
gets stuck on the detonator. Do not use these weapons
after you get a 100%
rating.
Fall off the world: Get on a bike and ride it fast towards
a clothes store. Jump off,
and it will stop just inside the doorway. Run inside and
jump on the bike, then onto
the door. Jump in any direction and you will fall or float
depending on which
direction you go. You will then land back outside the
store.
Love Juice mission: No motorcycles: During the first of
the Love Fist mission (Love
Juice) when you pick up Mercedes to take her back to
the band, do not use a
motorcycle of any kind. She will not be able to get on the
back if it during the
intermission sequence, although anyone can during
other missions.
Keep Your Friends Close mission: Wrong subtitle text:
When Tommy tells
Rosenberg to get 20 million of counterfeit money, the
subtitles state 3.
Ice Cream Factory saves: The game may glitch at times
when it is saved at the
Ice Cream Factory. When that save is reloaded, the
game will turn black and
freeze.
Vice Point: Pedestrians sitting on air: Go into the North
Point Mall and look around
on the benches. Sometimes the pedestrians will sit down
on them, however they
sit strangely and are actually sitting on air.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in club: Get a Freeway motorcycle
and drive it into the
Malibu Club for an interesting glitch.
Vice Point: Non-reflecting mirror In Malibu Club:
Upstairs in the Malibu Club is a
mirror on one of the walls with a model that resembles
Colonel Cortez's ship. Walk
over to it. Looking into the mirror in first person view,
you can see that it reflects
the things in the office like a painting on the wall, the
chairs, a few lights, the
model ship, and the doorway. However, it does not
reflect you.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in mall: You can take any kind of
motorcycle into the North
Point Mall. You can then drive around in the mall freely.
However, it is easier to
drive up the "down" escalator to go up and ramp down
when you want to go down.
Escobar International Airport: Get weapons inside: Go
through the metal detector
at the airport and your weapons will be removed. Keep
running at the glass where
your weapons are located and you can actually get some
of them back while inside
the airport.
Leaf Links: Jack Caddy through gate: When you go to
Leaf Links Golf Course's
front gates, wait until a Caddy comes up to the gate.
They try to go through the
gate all thetime. When they turn their golf carts around
so you are looking at one
side of the Caddy, walk up to the gate and press
Triangle. You will step through
the gate and jack the Caddy.
Little Havana: Helicopter with wheels: After acquiring
Sunshine Autos, get a
Sparrow. Fly it to Sunshine Autos and set it down just
outside the Pay 'N' Spray in
back, If you are confident in your flying abilities,
attempt to fly it into the spray
area. If not, turn it around so that the cockpit is facing
the four garages and push
it inside. Once it is in there, get inside. After it is
sprayed, fly it out of the garage
and you will have a helicopter with wheels.
Little Havana: Shoot through glass wall: Get a gun that
will visibly go through the
glass wall when you fire, such as the mini-gun or
flamethrower. In other words,
you have to see a part of it going through the glass. Fire
the gun through the glass
wall as Sunshine Autos. You will not see any fire or
blood, but nonetheless, you
can still kill anything through the glass wall. This works
best on the first floor of
Sunshine Autos. Use this trick to fend of the cops at a
five or star wanted level.
Little Havana: List mistake: On the fourth and final list
for Sunshine Autos, the list
says to get a "Baggage" instead of the vehicle's true
name, the "Baggage Handler".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes: Go to the Little
Havana Streetwear store. The
front door will be open. Enter it, then turn to your left.
You will see the clothes icon
with the word "Havana".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes (2): It is possible to
get this outfit. To do so,
ghost ride a motorcycle into the door, then jump over it
so you are on the counter
in the store. Place your back towards the clothing icon
and use a rifle that can aim
to blow up the motorcycle. The resulting explosion will
push you backwards
towards the clothes. You should see Tommy float under
the screen as if he is
falling, then he will appear outside in the Havana outfit.
Ocean Beach: Matrix-type move: Go into the lighthouse
on the beach. Climb to the
very top staircase. Then, attempt to jump down to the
last stairs through the
middle. Tommy will jump, do a small Trinity-style move
from The Matrix, then go
back to the stairs.
Ocean Beach: Unbreakable hotel window: Go to your
hotel room at the Ocean
View hotel. Shoot out of the window with a gun that
shoots bullets. They will pass
straight through without making a hole. If you use a
rocket launcher, it will hit the
window explode in the room without damaging the
window. This is useful when
assassinating someone on the street.
Starfish Island: Appear to be shrunk: Go to Starfish
Island and find any mansion
that has trees in its backyard. Stand next to the "tree"
and you will appear as if
you have shrunk very small. The "trees" behind the
Starfish Island houses are
actually big patches of grass.
Starfish Island: Garage door: At Vercetti Estate, as you
go up the left side stairs in
the front and go towards the front door, you will hear
the garage door open and it
will come up from beneath you.
Vercetti Estage: Big faced bills: In the Versetti Estate, go
into the office at the top
of the main stairs where you save the game. Select a
sniper rifle. Then, directly
right in front of the safe and crouch down. Zoom in and
look at the bills. The one
closest to Tommy (and some others) have the new style
big heads paper
currency. If this game takes place in the 1980s, they
should be the old small head
style bills.
Game completion bonuses: Successfully complete 100%
of the game. You will get
unlimited ammunition, double vehicle health, 200
health, and 200 armor limits. A
new set of clothes will be delivered to the Vercetti
Mansion. If you look closely it
reads; "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy
T-shirt". Walk into the
pink circles surrounding the men at your mansions and
they will follow you as
bodyguards.

Get to Starfish island early: To get to Starfish Island
without completing the
missions, get a fast motorcycle (not a moped). Go to the
Starfish bridge and floor
it through the tiny hole used by bridge pedestrians.
Wreck at the gate and the
game should put you on Starfish Island.
Get to any locked area early (1): Enable the "Dodo car"
code and use any car. Go
as fast as you can and jump over the highest sign
blocking the next section of the
game. Keep repeating this until you get there.
Get to any locked area early (2): Get a sniper rifle and
find a place where boats
are appearing. Wait until one is coming roughly straight
at you, then take out the
man piloting it with the rifle. If the boat was moving fast
enough, it will coast up to
you. You should be able to jump onto it. From there, you
can get to almost
anywhere. It may take awhile to find out good spots to
try this. One recommended
location is behind Diaz's mansion in the lawn behind the
hedge maze.
Get to any locked area early (3): While traveling at high
speeds in an Infernus hit
the gate the connects the both islands. If done correctly,
you can go through the
gate on the right side. Half of your vehicle will be on one
side of the gate, and the
other half will be on the other side. You can press
Triangle to step outside your
vehicle on the other side of the closed gate.
Get to any locked area early (4): Enable the "Cars float
on water" code. Then,
simply drive on the water to get to any island.
Restore health: Go to your hideout and go to Save.
Either save or leave without
saving and your health will be restored to full. Your
wanted level will not go down.
Increase Health By 20%: Enter any ambulance and
watch your health raise by
20%.
Increasing Armor: Get your wanted level to 4 stars and
when the SWAT Trucks
come after you, attempt to hijack one. Your armor will
rise to 100. Note: Hijacking
a SWAT car is not an easy task.
Clearer graphics: To make the game much clearer, pause
game play and go
to 'Display', then select 'Trails' and turn that option off.
Wanted level to zero: Go to your hideout and go to
"Save". Load the most recent
save and your wanted level will drop to zero.
Wanted level to zero 2: You can clear your wanted level
by entering a RC Racer
Competition. You do not have to complete the
competition to clear your wanted
level.

make Tommy's stamina last a
little longer.

Money Tip: It is more likely that you will get more
money from a guy in a suit in
tie than some bum hobbling around. So, choose who you
beat up wisely if you are
in need of more than a few bucks.
Easy money (1): Occasionally as you wander around the
city, you will encounter a
cop fighting with a gang member (especially in
Northpoint Mall). If you step in and
hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good
Citizen's Bonus when the gang
member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can
continue to kick him and
receive the bonus two or three more times (until the
body disappears). This is an
easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting
in the process.
Easy money (2): Purchasing the strip club or the docks
will earn you extra money.
Easy money (3): Knock over the parking meters on the
sides of the streets to get
money.
Easy money (4): Enable the "Tommy groupies" code.
Run around until you have a
large group of women following. Lead them to the
nearest alleyway or garage and
just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too
much attention from cops and
paramedics.
Easy money (5): Enter any store and point a handgun at
the clerk until he gives
you money. Hold the gun for a few seconds until he
stops giving you money, then
run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. Note: Do not do this
in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.
Easy money (6): Enable the "Rhino" code and press L3
to start the vigilante
missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more
money. After a while, you will
have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on you
after a kill, enable the "Lower
Wanted Level" code.
Easy money (7): Go to a hideout that generates money.
Get the money and save
the game. The game time will advance three hours and
more money should be
available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This
does not always work.
Easy money (8): Stop someone a cop is chasing and get
a good citizen bonus.
Now if you keep on kicking the person the cop was
chasing, you will keep on
getting the bonus. I have gotten $300 before he
disappeared.
Easy Money (9): On the street racing, you can blow up
the other cars you have to
race when they are lined up before the race begins. Then
you will be able to run
the race by yourself and win a large amount of money.
Easy Money (10): Hijack a Taxi at any time during the
game and get about twenty
bucks. If you are in need of a quick 100 dollars or
something, just repeat this. But
it must be different taxis. You can't just keep getting in
and out of the same one.
Drowned pedestrians: Go to any dock with people on it
while you are on a
motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the people
(including cops) will dive in
the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off
the bike and look down
into the water without falling in. You can see their dead
bodies floating in the water.
Blood splatter: Kill someone with the chainsaw while
you are running and blood will
splatter on the screen.
Possible reference to next game: Listen to the VCHAT
radio station and you will
hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first
time calla". They will start
talking about different football conversations. Listen for
about one minute and you
will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we
were beaten by San
Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities
were Liberty City, Vice City,
and San Andreas. This may be a hint towards the
location or title of the fifth game
in the series.
Media coverage: Get your wanted level to six stars to get
your pursuit covered in
the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear.
Keep running from the
helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game
time will result in an
increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and
look at your statistics to
see messages that indicate at your media level. You will
start with a story in UFA
Today and progress to television news and continue
until it is a crisis.
Easy weapons: Free weapons are hidden all over the
city. The flamethrower and
rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons.
They can be found near the
boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a
few game hours. Collect
all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout.
The game will advance six
hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned.
Do this three to five
times, and all your company assets will be close to full,
and you can make the
rounds to get paid.
Unlimited ammunition (1): Go to any Ammu-Nation store
and choose a gun. Keep
buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next
time you buy it, the
ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you
will have an unlimited
amount.
Unlimited ammunition (2): Use the following trick to get
unlimited ammunition on
the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a submachine
gun-class weapon for $300,
then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the
same ammunition, and you
will save a couple thousand dollars.
Unlimited ammunition (3): After you finish the last story
line mission, the mobsters
who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a lot of
them and you should have
unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find
the MP5.
Giant shark: The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films
studio can be seen in the
water. You may need to complete all the missions for
InterGlobal Films for it to
appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of
knowing where it can be found.
Quick reloads (1): Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get
a score of 45 points.
Quick reloads (2): When using a gun, instead of using up
an entire clip and waiting
for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out your weapon
and then switch back to it, It
will be fully loaded without having to wait through the
normal reload animation.
Shoot police helicopters with one sniper shot: Use the
sniper rifle and aim at the
joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it
down with one shot.
Scare passenger: This trick works very well at a red
light. Find a car or truck that
has a passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or
truck's driver-side door
and press Triangle to open it. As soon as Tommy starts
to get in, press X to
accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be
in riding along, screaming
and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.
Easy health: While in a mall, buy something to eat at the
food court.
Clothing reactions: Your clothing will result in different
reactions during missions.
For example, when you go to the Cubans for the first
time, try wearing golf
clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling
you a woman and you will
make fun of him.
Save money with prostitutes: Get a convertible or
another open top car. Pick up a
prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or trees.
Your health will jump up and
she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all
the car rocking. If you
decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a
convertible, jump out as soon as
your health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or
kill the prostitute to get
your money back.
Submarine and cargo ship: You can find a sunken ship
and a submarine up north
off the coast. The submarine is directly north of Ammu-Nation and The Tool Store
at Vice Point Mall. The cargo ship is east of the
submarine. Note: The submarine is
Soviet, as indicated by the red star on it.
Kills Increase: If you want to get a lot of kills on your
resume, do the following:
Enable the "Ladie's Man" cheat which gets different
kinds of women to follow
Tommy around(Up to 8 at one time) Then find a bus. It
could be a coach or the
bus you find down at the docks. They will enter the bus
when you go in. Then, get
out one of your powerful weapons that can blow up a
vehicle quickly. Get far
enough away and before they can get out, blow up the
car. You will get 8 easy
kills.

BUSINESSES
Recommended business order:
Buy the businesses in this order for the best way to
make money.
1. Kaufman Cabs: As soon as you are making money,
stash as many Zebra cabs
across the city as you possible. Some missions depend
on you getting to the next
garage with a Zebra. Always drive into the garage for
money pick ups. You can
run over the Haitians awaiting you.
2. Print Factory: Makes a lot of money for the outlay. If
you get past the run on
making money, the other runs are easier.
3. Sunshine Autos: If you buy this next, you can start
filling up the drop off garage
as you go on the other missions, saving time.
4. InterGlobal Films: Has a lot of missions, but gets quite
a good amount of money
and fun.
5. Cherry Pickers: You need 50 consecutive drug deals to
make money. The best
place to sell is on the beach. There are always lots of
sales and you can spot cops
easily.
6. Pole Position: Waiting for your $600 lap dance bill is
boring. The only
consolation is that your other businesses are making
money while you sit there.
7. Boat Yard: Should be last. Although it is cheap, the
race is very hard to
complete. You also get very little money out of it when it
is up and running.
Pole Position Strip Club business:
Buy the Pole Position Strip Club located just west of the
Ocean View Hotel for
$30,000. Enter the hallway in the back of the building
and go in the first door on

money on her. Get to $600
and the business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can

the business will begin
making money for you. Each time a list is completed, the
business will make more
money and a new car for the showroom will be
unlocked. The maximum amount
you can make per day is $6,000 total ($1,500 per car
list).
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (2): After you have
purchased the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom, go under the building to find a pink
mission circle. This is a
mission where you are entered into races. Once you
have started the races,
enable the "Rhino" code. Get into the Rhino, then shoot
all the cars that are in the
race. When the race starts, there will be no cars
remaining except yourself. Once
you have completed the race, you will automatically win.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (3): When doing the lists
of cars, when you get to
the third list (sports cars), you can find almost all of
them on the road the
Showroom is on, or at the main terminal of the airport.
Sit there and they will
appear. On the last list, you must buy the Cherry
Poppers ice cream shop to get
the truck.
Boatyard business: Buy the Boatyard in Vice Port for
$10,000. Get in one of the
boats and start the Checkpoint Charlie mission. Take the
boat through all the
checkpoints within the allotted time. After this, the

$2,000 to begin with. This
number increases each time the Checkpoint Charlie is
completed.

GLITCHES
Helicopter and garage glitch: If you own Sunshine
Autos, then this trick will work.
First, fill at least one of your garages up to the maximum
amount of cars at
Sunshine Autos. Then, get a helicopter. It doesn't matter
which one. Attempt to fly
it directly over your garages at Sunshine Autos (as high
as you want). You will see
the message, "You cannot store any more cars in this
garage." It's the same one
you see when you pull a car up to a full garage.
Sink under the city: Take a motorcycle and go to your
first save point. Go down
the stairs were there is a police star and continue
straight until you cross the
street. You will technically be going through bushes and
stuff. Anyhow.. a little
futher there will be in the grass a ligther green patch of
grass. If you go in it with
your motorcycle, you will start sinking into it and finally
fall under the city and see
under it!!!
Disappearing Car: Blow up a car next to one of your
garages. Then, try to push
the destroyed vehicle into the garage. As you are almost
in, the car will just
disappear. Of course, if you blow up a car already in
your garage, it will just be as
good as new when you close the garage and then open
it.
Selfish Cops: Find a cop somewhere in the city and then
point a gun at a
pedestrian in front of the cop. It must be an automatic
aim weapon. The cop will
not do anything even though he sees you pointing a gun
at a person. Then, try
pointing at him. You will get 2 quick stars on you.
Interesting behavior.
Speedy Roof Ride: Make sure you have a chainsaw. Now,
jump on top of any car
and use the chainsaw. It will come down on the top of
this person's car. They will
sometimes get scared, get out and run away. But,
sometimes they will get scared
and drive rally fast and wild. Stay on the top of the
speeding car and go for the
ride of your life.
Car Riding Glitch: If you try to get on top of a car, it will
usually carry you
wherever it goes, but sometimes you will slide off as the
car accelerates. It
happens rarely and will happen every time you try it
during that time until you
reload the game. Then, usually it will go back to normal.
Change size of the moon: Use the sniper rifle at night,
zoom in on the moon, then
shoot it. It will get bigger or smaller.
Change size of garbage bags: Get a sniper rifle and zoom
in on a group of two
garbage bags. Start shooting at them to make one very
big and the other very
small.
Become a pedestrian: Go to the Leaf Links Golf Club.
When you see a caddy, steal
it. Stay near the person you stole it from. Usually, they
will try to steal it back
from you. Make sure they are closer to the passenger
side of the caddy when you
do this. As they are walking towards you to try to steal it
back, be ready to hit the
gas. As they are getting back in the caddy, floor it.
Instead of kicking you out of
the caddy, they will take your place, and your body will
disappear. The camera will
stay on the caddy, but you will be gone and the
pedestrian takes your place. Then
let go of the acceleration button and the camera will
follow the pedestrian around.
The only thing you can do at this point is change the
radio stations and look
around with L2 and R2 buttons. This is a cool trick but is
very hard to do. It takes
some practice but eventually it will work.
Stand on car in mid-air: When you go over a ramp or
jump, open your car door in
mid-air. You will get out and will be standing on the car
while it is floating in mid-
air. This can also be done by driving off a bridge and
bailing out in mid-air.
Sink through a car: Get a Packer, and drive a motorcycle
on top of it. Exit the
motorcycle and you will sink through the packer as if it
was not there. You will then
pop up next to it.
Vehicles disappearing from garage: Vehicles stored in
the garages at the Hyman
Condo complex can disappear from them if you take the
helicopter on the roof and
return later.
Store more than two cars or motorcycles in garage:
When you have two cars or
motorcycles in your garage at your safe house, you
usually will not be able to
store any vehicles inside. To get around this, get off the
car or motorcycle in front
of the full garage. The garage will open. Get on your
motorcycle or into your car
quickly and drive it into the garage before the door
closes.
Get more than two motorcycles into a single garage: Get
a motorcycle and drive it
to a garage with two other motorcycles. Drive your
motorcycle to the garage and
get off to open the garage door. Then, get back on and
drive it in before the
garage door has a chance to shut. When you save the
game, the third motorcycle
will remain in the garage.
Climb a tree: Go to where a beach or a body of water is
located. There should be
some palm trees nearby. Find one that is bent (or
curved) and try to climb it.
Note: Do not run up the tree or you will fall in -- walk
slowly. When you get close
to the top, slow down. If you continue walking, you will
fall.
Aim with cell phone: When the phone is ringing, equip
yourself with any kind of
auto-aiming weapon (such as a pistol). Press R1 to aim
it at a random pedestrian.
While still holding R1, press L1 to answer the phone.
Tommy will continue to aim in
the same spot, though now he is using the cell phone
instead of the gun. You may
release R1 and he will continue to aim at the same spot,
even if the pedestrian
moves. Note: Depending on how you move, he may
switch between holding the
phone to his ear, and pointing it at the blank spot that
the pedestrian used to
occupy.
Shoot yourself: Get a semi-automatic weapon (Uzi
recommended) on an Angel or
a Freeway. Look left and press Square to reverse and
Circle to shoot. You will
appear to be shooting yourself.
Fly under Vice City: Get a helicopter (Hunter
recommended), and go to the front of
the WK Chariot Hotel in the Downtown area. This is the
same hotel that was across
from Candi Suxxx's and Shrub's love nest. It is marked
"Vice Point Langer" on the
front. Take your helicopter and fly it under the front
awning. Basically, fly it
directly up to the front door. Then, hold X and fly
straight up. You will fly through a
fake (non-solid) roof, and be inside the hotel. You can
see the spiral stairwell that
you have to run up to take the photos in the Martha's
Mugshot mission from the
outside. From there, fly downward and you are now
under the game map and can
go anywhere. Note: Do not fly too low or too high or you
may appear above
ground or end up dying in the water.
Fly under Vice City (2): Go to your Mansion. If you have
a Sea Sparrow get into it.
If not, try the helicopter on the roof. From where the
Sea Sparrow is located, turn
around and go into the pool area in the mansion. When
in the pool area, fly up
through the roof. When you are completely above the
ceiling of the pool area, fly
north towards the black box/room. When you are over
the brown underworld,
press Square and go under the game world. You can
then fly anywhere under the
water.
Fall from water to sky: Enable the "Dodo (flying" and
"Float on water" codes. Go
into the water and drive around. Gain speed and fly into
the air. Try to flip your
vehicle upside down in the water. If done correctly, the
car will sink and a clicking
sound will start. You and the vehicle will drop out of the
sky and land somewhere
random in Vice City. Note: You may need to try this a
few times with different
cars. If it does not work immediately, you will die.
Re-appearing cars: If you have any vehicles in a garage,
you can blow it up into
scrap metal. If the metal is in the garage, make the
garage door close. Once you
have it open again, the car that was destroyed will
appear again, while the scrap
metal of the car that was destroyed is still there.
Never fall off motorcycle: Take a PCG 600 to a clothes
shop. The easiest one
is "Collar And Cuffs" with the "Mr. Vercetti" outfit. Get
off the motorcycle, and get
the outfit. Once it is gone, place the motorcycle parallel
to the edge of the small
steps, so that the clothes still respawn. Once you do
this, get on the motorcycle at
the exact moment when you buy the clothes. You will be
stuck the motorcycle as
though the game merged you into it. This now allows
you to drive around safely
without worry of falling off. Also, it lets you use an
assault riffle as a drive-by
weapon. However, once you fire the gun, the bike will
return to normal, allowing
you to fall off again and disabling the gun. However, as
long as you hold Circle,
you will still shoot assault rifle. This glitch can also be
done with other motorcycles.
Never fall off motorcycle (2): In order to do this glitch,
you need to be in a point in
the game where your cell phone is ringing. Also, you will
need any motorcycle. Go
to Rafael's and get off your bike. If your cell phone is
ringing, hold L1. While
holding L1, walk over and get the clothes icon, then get
back on the bike. You
must hold L1 the entire time. Drive off and release L1.
The screen should turn
black, and you will then should be standing up, as if you
were not on the bike. You
can pull wheelies all the way back and not fall off. You
can also do a lot insane
stunt bonuses that you otherwise would be incapable of
doing. While on the
motorcycle, switch to grenades or molotov cocktails to
throw them off. Note: The
cocktails will heavily damage your bike. This trick also
works in cars, and you can
see Tommy's legs appearing from the bottom.
No-Hands Motorcycle: With this glitch you can "ride" a
motorcycle without ever
being thrown off (until it blows up...) First off you have
to have someone calling
you in the game (make sure you don't answer it). Then
find a place with a change
of clothes, and while the phone is ringing, grab the
spare clothes and jump on a
bike. Now suddenly good ol' Tom is a master
motorcyclist, he no longer needs to
use his hands when riding and he cant be thrown off.
The bike still handles the
same, except you can't go into Pay 'N Spray because it
doesn't think you are on
the bike. However you can do some great insane stunts
without any worry of flying
off the bike. I've done this several times and it seems to
work fine. I have
currently only tried this at my Hyman Condo, so I don't
actually know for sure if it
works anywhere else, but I don't see why it shouldn't.
Free money in taxi without a passenger: When you start
the taxi mission, try to
pick up a person next a police officer and get one star.
Stop next the police officer
and make sure he approaches your car from the
passenger side (where the
person you picked up should be sitting). As soon the cop
opens the door, speed
away. The cop will pull out your passenger, but the
game will think that he is still in
the taxi. Upon arrival at the location which the
passenger specified, you will be
awarded money, as if he was still in the car.
Zeba taxi damage immunity: For some reason, the entire
Zebra taxi can appear
damaged except for the passenger side. The two doors
on the passenger side
cannot get scratched or removed, other than when the
entire vehicle explodes.
Headless driver: Find a Ruger or a Sniper. Look for any
car, get in front of it, and
make it stop. Make sure only one person is inside the
car. Shoot the person in the
head and run quickly to the driver's side door. Use the
rear view (L1 + R1) and
move the car slightly. Watch as the headless driver
walks to you.
Phil Cassedy's missing arm: During the first intermission
sequence in the
Boomshine Saigon mission, Phil gets one of his arms
blown off by the bomb he
placed on the boomshine barrels. Continue the mission
and get Phil to the doctor.
Watch as he gets out of the car. The arm that he blew off
is now switched with his
other arm.
Regenerating people: To see people appear out of the
middle of nowhere, aim the
sniper rifle in the distance at a sidewalk or a road.
People will just appear and walk
around.
Unlimited Colt .45 ammunition: If you have a Colt .45 in
your weapon slot and
complete The Shootist mission with a score of 70 or
more, it will have unlimited
ammunition.
Floating road blocks: Go into an alley that has orange
road blocks. Start shooting
them and moving them around. Walk a few blocks away
and when you return they
should be floating in the air.
Taxi driver pickup: Steal any taxi cab and immediately
press R3 to start a taxi
mission. The person you are supposed to pick up is often
the taxi cab driver you
just pulled out.
No star for police collision: Normally, if you hit a cop car
while driving your wanted
level will increase. However, if you are driving and hit
the cop head-on, there are
no repercussions (no wanted level increase, no cops
chasing you around, etc.)
This may be helpful in missions that are time-sensitive if
you can make sure to hit
the cops head-on.
Mid-air skid marks: Get a motorcycle (PCJ 600
recommended) and find a Packer
driving down the road. Stay directly behind its ramp,
just keeping up with it.
Suddenly, hit the gas but do not launch off the top of the
Packer -- just roll back
down the ramp in reverse to see your skid mark floating
in the air.
Mid-air skid marks (2): Get a Packer and park a car on
top of it. Drive the Packer
in reverse so that the car falls off the top of it. The car
will leave a big skid mark
hanging in the middle of the air.
Lose extra health from prostitute: If you use a prostitute
to get your health above
100 and go to a save point, your health will drop back to
100 when you exit the
save point.
Lose extra health with a prostitute: After you complete
the Pizza Boy mission and
get 150 health, if you pick up a prostitute, your health
will drop to 125
immediately. Thus, after the Pizza Boy missions, there is
no longer a point of
getting a prostitute for health gain.
Weapon stuck on detonator: After you get a 100%
completion, the game awards
you with unlimited ammunition, among other things.
This causes a glitch if you get
the bombs from Phil's Place or the car bomb from 8
Ball's. The weapon selector
gets stuck on the detonator. Do not use these weapons
after you get a 100%
rating.
Fall off the world: Get on a bike and ride it fast towards
a clothes store. Jump off,
and it will stop just inside the doorway. Run inside and
jump on the bike, then onto
the door. Jump in any direction and you will fall or float
depending on which
direction you go. You will then land back outside the
store.
Love Juice mission: No motorcycles: During the first of
the Love Fist mission (Love
Juice) when you pick up Mercedes to take her back to
the band, do not use a
motorcycle of any kind. She will not be able to get on the
back if it during the
intermission sequence, although anyone can during
other missions.
Keep Your Friends Close mission: Wrong subtitle text:
When Tommy tells
Rosenberg to get 20 million of counterfeit money, the
subtitles state 3.
Ice Cream Factory saves: The game may glitch at times
when it is saved at the
Ice Cream Factory. When that save is reloaded, the
game will turn black and
freeze.
Vice Point: Pedestrians sitting on air: Go into the North
Point Mall and look around
on the benches. Sometimes the pedestrians will sit down
on them, however they
sit strangely and are actually sitting on air.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in club: Get a Freeway motorcycle
and drive it into the
Malibu Club for an interesting glitch.
Vice Point: Non-reflecting mirror In Malibu Club:
Upstairs in the Malibu Club is a
mirror on one of the walls with a model that resembles
Colonel Cortez's ship. Walk
over to it. Looking into the mirror in first person view,
you can see that it reflects
the things in the office like a painting on the wall, the
chairs, a few lights, the
model ship, and the doorway. However, it does not
reflect you.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in mall: You can take any kind of
motorcycle into the North
Point Mall. You can then drive around in the mall freely.
However, it is easier to
drive up the "down" escalator to go up and ramp down
when you want to go down.
Escobar International Airport: Get weapons inside: Go
through the metal detector
at the airport and your weapons will be removed. Keep
running at the glass where
your weapons are located and you can actually get some
of them back while inside
the airport.
Leaf Links: Jack Caddy through gate: When you go to
Leaf Links Golf Course's
front gates, wait until a Caddy comes up to the gate.
They try to go through the
gate all thetime. When they turn their golf carts around
so you are looking at one
side of the Caddy, walk up to the gate and press
Triangle. You will step through
the gate and jack the Caddy.
Little Havana: Helicopter with wheels: After acquiring
Sunshine Autos, get a
Sparrow. Fly it to Sunshine Autos and set it down just
outside the Pay 'N' Spray in
back, If you are confident in your flying abilities,
attempt to fly it into the spray
area. If not, turn it around so that the cockpit is facing
the four garages and push
it inside. Once it is in there, get inside. After it is
sprayed, fly it out of the garage
and you will have a helicopter with wheels.
Little Havana: Shoot through glass wall: Get a gun that
will visibly go through the
glass wall when you fire, such as the mini-gun or
flamethrower. In other words,
you have to see a part of it going through the glass. Fire
the gun through the glass
wall as Sunshine Autos. You will not see any fire or
blood, but nonetheless, you
can still kill anything through the glass wall. This works
best on the first floor of
Sunshine Autos. Use this trick to fend of the cops at a
five or star wanted level.
Little Havana: List mistake: On the fourth and final list
for Sunshine Autos, the list
says to get a "Baggage" instead of the vehicle's true
name, the "Baggage Handler".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes: Go to the Little
Havana Streetwear store. The
front door will be open. Enter it, then turn to your left.
You will see the clothes icon
with the word "Havana".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes (2): It is possible to
get this outfit. To do so,
ghost ride a motorcycle into the door, then jump over it
so you are on the counter
in the store. Place your back towards the clothing icon
and use a rifle that can aim
to blow up the motorcycle. The resulting explosion will
push you backwards
towards the clothes. You should see Tommy float under
the screen as if he is
falling, then he will appear outside in the Havana outfit.
Ocean Beach: Matrix-type move: Go into the lighthouse
on the beach. Climb to the
very top staircase. Then, attempt to jump down to the
last stairs through the
middle. Tommy will jump, do a small Trinity-style move
from The Matrix, then go
back to the stairs.
Ocean Beach: Unbreakable hotel window: Go to your
hotel room at the Ocean
View hotel. Shoot out of the window with a gun that
shoots bullets. They will pass
straight through without making a hole. If you use a
rocket launcher, it will hit the
window explode in the room without damaging the
window. This is useful when
assassinating someone on the street.
Starfish Island: Appear to be shrunk: Go to Starfish
Island and find any mansion
that has trees in its backyard. Stand next to the "tree"
and you will appear as if
you have shrunk very small. The "trees" behind the
Starfish Island houses are
actually big patches of grass.
Starfish Island: Garage door: At Vercetti Estate, as you
go up the left side stairs in
the front and go towards the front door, you will hear
the garage door open and it
will come up from beneath you.
Vercetti Estage: Big faced bills: In the Versetti Estate, go
into the office at the top
of the main stairs where you save the game. Select a
sniper rifle. Then, directly
right in front of the safe and crouch down. Zoom in and
look at the bills. The one
closest to Tommy (and some others) have the new style
big heads paper
currency. If this game takes place in the 1980s, they
should be the old small head
style bills.
Game completion bonuses: Successfully complete 100%
of the game. You will get
unlimited ammunition, double vehicle health, 200
health, and 200 armor limits. A
new set of clothes will be delivered to the Vercetti
Mansion. If you look closely it
reads; "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy
T-shirt". Walk into the
pink circles surrounding the men at your mansions and
they will follow you as
bodyguards.

Get to Starfish island early: To get to Starfish Island
without completing the
missions, get a fast motorcycle (not a moped). Go to the
Starfish bridge and floor
it through the tiny hole used by bridge pedestrians.
Wreck at the gate and the
game should put you on Starfish Island.
Get to any locked area early (1): Enable the "Dodo car"
code and use any car. Go
as fast as you can and jump over the highest sign
blocking the next section of the
game. Keep repeating this until you get there.
Get to any locked area early (2): Get a sniper rifle and
find a place where boats
are appearing. Wait until one is coming roughly straight
at you, then take out the
man piloting it with the rifle. If the boat was moving fast
enough, it will coast up to
you. You should be able to jump onto it. From there, you
can get to almost
anywhere. It may take awhile to find out good spots to
try this. One recommended
location is behind Diaz's mansion in the lawn behind the
hedge maze.
Get to any locked area early (3): While traveling at high
speeds in an Infernus hit
the gate the connects the both islands. If done correctly,
you can go through the
gate on the right side. Half of your vehicle will be on one
side of the gate, and the
other half will be on the other side. You can press
Triangle to step outside your
vehicle on the other side of the closed gate.
Get to any locked area early (4): Enable the "Cars float
on water" code. Then,
simply drive on the water to get to any island.
Restore health: Go to your hideout and go to Save.
Either save or leave without
saving and your health will be restored to full. Your
wanted level will not go down.
Increase Health By 20%: Enter any ambulance and
watch your health raise by
20%.
Increasing Armor: Get your wanted level to 4 stars and
when the SWAT Trucks
come after you, attempt to hijack one. Your armor will
rise to 100. Note: Hijacking
a SWAT car is not an easy task.
Clearer graphics: To make the game much clearer, pause
game play and go
to 'Display', then select 'Trails' and turn that option off.
Wanted level to zero: Go to your hideout and go to
"Save". Load the most recent
save and your wanted level will drop to zero.
Wanted level to zero 2: You can clear your wanted level
by entering a RC Racer
Competition. You do not have to complete the
competition to clear your wanted
level.

Money Tip: It is more likely that you will get more
money from a guy in a suit in
tie than some bum hobbling around. So, choose who you
beat up wisely if you are
in need of more than a few bucks.
Easy money (1): Occasionally as you wander around the
city, you will encounter a
cop fighting with a gang member (especially in
Northpoint Mall). If you step in and
hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good
Citizen's Bonus when the gang
member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can
continue to kick him and
receive the bonus two or three more times (until the
body disappears). This is an
easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting
in the process.
Easy money (2): Purchasing the strip club or the docks
will earn you extra money.
Easy money (3): Knock over the parking meters on the
sides of the streets to get
money.
Easy money (4): Enable the "Tommy groupies" code.
Run around until you have a
large group of women following. Lead them to the
nearest alleyway or garage and
just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too
much attention from cops and
paramedics.
Easy money (5): Enter any store and point a handgun at
the clerk until he gives
you money. Hold the gun for a few seconds until he
stops giving you money, then
run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. Note: Do not do this
in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.
Easy money (6): Enable the "Rhino" code and press L3
to start the vigilante
missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more
money. After a while, you will
have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on you
after a kill, enable the "Lower
Wanted Level" code.
Easy money (7): Go to a hideout that generates money.
Get the money and save
the game. The game time will advance three hours and
more money should be
available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This
does not always work.
Easy money (8): Stop someone a cop is chasing and get
a good citizen bonus.
Now if you keep on kicking the person the cop was
chasing, you will keep on
getting the bonus. I have gotten $300 before he
disappeared.
Easy Money (9): On the street racing, you can blow up
the other cars you have to
race when they are lined up before the race begins. Then
you will be able to run
the race by yourself and win a large amount of money.
Easy Money (10): Hijack a Taxi at any time during the
game and get about twenty
bucks. If you are in need of a quick 100 dollars or
something, just repeat this. But
it must be different taxis. You can't just keep getting in
and out of the same one.
Drowned pedestrians: Go to any dock with people on it
while you are on a
motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the people
(including cops) will dive in
the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off
the bike and look down
into the water without falling in. You can see their dead
bodies floating in the water.
Blood splatter: Kill someone with the chainsaw while
you are running and blood will
splatter on the screen.
Possible reference to next game: Listen to the VCHAT
radio station and you will
hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first
time calla". They will start
talking about different football conversations. Listen for
about one minute and you
will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we
were beaten by San
Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities
were Liberty City, Vice City,
and San Andreas. This may be a hint towards the
location or title of the fifth game
in the series.
Media coverage: Get your wanted level to six stars to get
your pursuit covered in
the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear.
Keep running from the
helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game
time will result in an
increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and
look at your statistics to
see messages that indicate at your media level. You will
start with a story in UFA
Today and progress to television news and continue
until it is a crisis.
Easy weapons: Free weapons are hidden all over the
city. The flamethrower and
rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons.
They can be found near the
boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a
few game hours. Collect
all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout.
The game will advance six
hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned.
Do this three to five
times, and all your company assets will be close to full,
and you can make the
rounds to get paid.
Unlimited ammunition (1): Go to any Ammu-Nation store
and choose a gun. Keep
buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next
time you buy it, the
ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you
will have an unlimited
amount.
Unlimited ammunition (2): Use the following trick to get
unlimited ammunition on
the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a submachine
gun-class weapon for $300,
then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the
same ammunition, and you
will save a couple thousand dollars.
Unlimited ammunition (3): After you finish the last story
line mission, the mobsters
who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a lot of
them and you should have
unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find
the MP5.
Giant shark: The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films
studio can be seen in the
water. You may need to complete all the missions for
InterGlobal Films for it to
appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of
knowing where it can be found.
Quick reloads (1): Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get
a score of 45 points.
Quick reloads (2): When using a gun, instead of using up
an entire clip and waiting
for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out your weapon
and then switch back to it, It
will be fully loaded without having to wait through the
normal reload animation.
Shoot police helicopters with one sniper shot: Use the
sniper rifle and aim at the
joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it
down with one shot.
Scare passenger: This trick works very well at a red
light. Find a car or truck that
has a passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or
truck's driver-side door
and press Triangle to open it. As soon as Tommy starts
to get in, press X to
accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be
in riding along, screaming
and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.
Easy health: While in a mall, buy something to eat at the
food court.
Clothing reactions: Your clothing will result in different
reactions during missions.
For example, when you go to the Cubans for the first
time, try wearing golf
clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling
you a woman and you will
make fun of him.
Save money with prostitutes: Get a convertible or
another open top car. Pick up a
prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or trees.
Your health will jump up and
she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all
the car rocking. If you
decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a
convertible, jump out as soon as
your health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or
kill the prostitute to get
your money back.
Submarine and cargo ship: You can find a sunken ship
and a submarine up north
off the coast. The submarine is directly north of Ammu-Nation and The Tool Store
at Vice Point Mall. The cargo ship is east of the
submarine. Note: The submarine is
Soviet, as indicated by the red star on it.
Kills Increase: If you want to get a lot of kills on your
resume, do the following:
Enable the "Ladie's Man" cheat which gets different
kinds of women to follow
Tommy around(Up to 8 at one time) Then find a bus. It
could be a coach or the
bus you find down at the docks. They will enter the bus
when you go in. Then, get
out one of your powerful weapons that can blow up a
vehicle quickly. Get far
enough away and before they can get out, blow up the
car. You will get 8 easy
kills.

BUSINESSES
Recommended business order:
Buy the businesses in this order for the best way to
make money.
1. Kaufman Cabs: As soon as you are making money,
stash as many Zebra cabs
across the city as you possible. Some missions depend
on you getting to the next
garage with a Zebra. Always drive into the garage for
money pick ups. You can
run over the Haitians awaiting you.
2. Print Factory: Makes a lot of money for the outlay. If
you get past the run on
making money, the other runs are easier.
3. Sunshine Autos: If you buy this next, you can start
filling up the drop off garage
as you go on the other missions, saving time.
4. InterGlobal Films: Has a lot of missions, but gets quite
a good amount of money
and fun.
5. Cherry Pickers: You need 50 consecutive drug deals to
make money. The best
place to sell is on the beach. There are always lots of
sales and you can spot cops
easily.
6. Pole Position: Waiting for your $600 lap dance bill is
boring. The only
consolation is that your other businesses are making
money while you sit there.
7. Boat Yard: Should be last. Although it is cheap, the
race is very hard to
complete. You also get very little money out of it when it
is up and running.
Pole Position Strip Club business:
Buy the Pole Position Strip Club located just west of the
Ocean View Hotel for
$30,000. Enter the hallway in the back of the building
and go in the first door on
the left for a private dance. You will begin spending
money on her. Get to $600
and the business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can
make per day is $4,000.
Print Works business: Buy the Print Works located
northeast of Escobar
International Airport for $70,000. Complete the two
missions that are now
unlocked and the business will begin making money for
you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $8,000.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom: Buy the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom located just
east of Escobar International Airport for $50,000. Go
down to the lower garages
and locate the dry erase board with a list of cars on the
wall. Steal all the cars on
the list and bring them to this garage. When this is done,
the business will begin
making money for you. Each time a list is completed, the
business will make more
money and a new car for the showroom will be
unlocked. The maximum amount
you can make per day is $6,000 total ($1,500 per car
list).
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (2): After you have
purchased the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom, go under the building to find a pink
mission circle. This is a
mission where you are entered into races. Once you
have started the races,
enable the "Rhino" code. Get into the Rhino, then shoot
all the cars that are in the
race. When the race starts, there will be no cars
remaining except yourself. Once
you have completed the race, you will automatically win.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (3): When doing the lists
of cars, when you get to
the third list (sports cars), you can find almost all of
them on the road the
Showroom is on, or at the main terminal of the airport.
Sit there and they will
appear. On the last list, you must buy the Cherry
Poppers ice cream shop to get
the truck.
Boatyard business: Buy the Boatyard in Vice Port for
$10,000. Get in one of the
boats and start the Checkpoint Charlie mission. Take the
boat through all the
checkpoints within the allotted time. After this, the
Boatyard will begin making
money for you. Repeat the mission to increase the
amount of money that it brings
in. The maximum amount you can make per day is
$2,000 to begin with. This
number increases each time the Checkpoint Charlie is
completed.
Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory business: Buy the
Cherry Popper Ice Cream
Factory located between Little Havana and Little Haiti
(almost directly across from
the bridge to Starfish Island) for $20,000. Drive Mr.
Whoopee and get 50 buyers in
a single run. You cannot leave the truck or get arrested
or killed. After this, the
business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can make
per day is $3,000.
Film Studio business: Buy the Film Studio on Prawn
Island for $60,000. Complete
the four missions related to the Film Studio that are now
unlocked in front of
Hanger "D" and the business will begin making money
for you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $7,000.
Kaufman Cabs business: Buy Kaufman Cabs at the north
end of Little Haiti for
$40,000. Three missions will become unlocked. Get in a
Kaufman Cab and
complete all three missions. After this, the business will

front of Hanger "D" and the business will begin making
money for you. The
maximum amount you can make per day is $7,000.
GLITCHES
Helicopter and garage glitch: If you own Sunshine
Autos, then this trick will work.
First, fill at least one of your garages up to the maximum
amount of cars at
Sunshine Autos. Then, get a helicopter. It doesn't matter
which one. Attempt to fly
it directly over your garages at Sunshine Autos (as high
as you want). You will see
the message, "You cannot store any more cars in this
garage." It's the same one
you see when you pull a car up to a full garage.
Sink under the city: Take a motorcycle and go to your
first save point. Go down
the stairs were there is a police star and continue
straight until you cross the
street. You will technically be going through bushes and
stuff. Anyhow.. a little
futher there will be in the grass a ligther green patch of
grass. If you go in it with
your motorcycle, you will start sinking into it and finally
fall under the city and see
under it!!!
Disappearing Car: Blow up a car next to one of your
garages. Then, try to push
the destroyed vehicle into the garage. As you are almost
in, the car will just
disappear. Of course, if you blow up a car already in
your garage, it will just be as
good as new when you close the garage and then open
it.
Selfish Cops: Find a cop somewhere in the city and then
point a gun at a
pedestrian in front of the cop. It must be an automatic
aim weapon. The cop will
not do anything even though he sees you pointing a gun
at a person. Then, try
pointing at him. You will get 2 quick stars on you.
Interesting behavior.
Speedy Roof Ride: Make sure you have a chainsaw. Now,
jump on top of any car
and use the chainsaw. It will come down on the top of
this person's car. They will
sometimes get scared, get out and run away. But,
sometimes they will get scared
and drive rally fast and wild. Stay on the top of the
speeding car and go for the
ride of your life.
Car Riding Glitch: If you try to get on top of a car, it will
usually carry you
wherever it goes, but sometimes you will slide off as the
car accelerates. It
happens rarely and will happen every time you try it
during that time until you
reload the game. Then, usually it will go back to normal.
Change size of the moon: Use the sniper rifle at night,
zoom in on the moon, then
shoot it. It will get bigger or smaller.
Change size of garbage bags: Get a sniper rifle and zoom
in on a group of two
garbage bags. Start shooting at them to make one very
big and the other very
small.
Become a pedestrian: Go to the Leaf Links Golf Club.
When you see a caddy, steal
it. Stay near the person you stole it from. Usually, they
will try to steal it back
from you. Make sure they are closer to the passenger
side of the caddy when you
do this. As they are walking towards you to try to steal it
back, be ready to hit the
gas. As they are getting back in the caddy, floor it.
Instead of kicking you out of
the caddy, they will take your place, and your body will
disappear. The camera will
stay on the caddy, but you will be gone and the
pedestrian takes your place. Then
let go of the acceleration button and the camera will
follow the pedestrian around.
The only thing you can do at this point is change the
radio stations and look
around with L2 and R2 buttons. This is a cool trick but is
very hard to do. It takes
some practice but eventually it will work.
Stand on car in mid-air: When you go over a ramp or
jump, open your car door in
mid-air. You will get out and will be standing on the car
while it is floating in mid-
air. This can also be done by driving off a bridge and
bailing out in mid-air.
Sink through a car: Get a Packer, and drive a motorcycle
on top of it. Exit the
motorcycle and you will sink through the packer as if it
was not there. You will then
pop up next to it.
Vehicles disappearing from garage: Vehicles stored in
the garages at the Hyman
Condo complex can disappear from them if you take the
helicopter on the roof and
return later.
Store more than two cars or motorcycles in garage:
When you have two cars or
motorcycles in your garage at your safe house, you
usually will not be able to
store any vehicles inside. To get around this, get off the
car or motorcycle in front
of the full garage. The garage will open. Get on your
motorcycle or into your car
quickly and drive it into the garage before the door
closes.
Get more than two motorcycles into a single garage: Get
a motorcycle and drive it
to a garage with two other motorcycles. Drive your
motorcycle to the garage and
get off to open the garage door. Then, get back on and
drive it in before the
garage door has a chance to shut. When you save the
game, the third motorcycle
will remain in the garage.
Climb a tree: Go to where a beach or a body of water is
located. There should be
some palm trees nearby. Find one that is bent (or
curved) and try to climb it.
Note: Do not run up the tree or you will fall in -- walk
slowly. When you get close
to the top, slow down. If you continue walking, you will
fall.
Aim with cell phone: When the phone is ringing, equip
yourself with any kind of
auto-aiming weapon (such as a pistol). Press R1 to aim
it at a random pedestrian.
While still holding R1, press L1 to answer the phone.
Tommy will continue to aim in
the same spot, though now he is using the cell phone
instead of the gun. You may
release R1 and he will continue to aim at the same spot,
even if the pedestrian
moves. Note: Depending on how you move, he may
switch between holding the
phone to his ear, and pointing it at the blank spot that
the pedestrian used to
occupy.
Shoot yourself: Get a semi-automatic weapon (Uzi
recommended) on an Angel or
a Freeway. Look left and press Square to reverse and
Circle to shoot. You will
appear to be shooting yourself.
Fly under Vice City: Get a helicopter (Hunter
recommended), and go to the front of
the WK Chariot Hotel in the Downtown area. This is the
same hotel that was across
from Candi Suxxx's and Shrub's love nest. It is marked
"Vice Point Langer" on the
front. Take your helicopter and fly it under the front
awning. Basically, fly it
directly up to the front door. Then, hold X and fly
straight up. You will fly through a
fake (non-solid) roof, and be inside the hotel. You can
see the spiral stairwell that
you have to run up to take the photos in the Martha's
Mugshot mission from the
outside. From there, fly downward and you are now
under the game map and can
go anywhere. Note: Do not fly too low or too high or you
may appear above
ground or end up dying in the water.
Fly under Vice City (2): Go to your Mansion. If you have
a Sea Sparrow get into it.
If not, try the helicopter on the roof. From where the
Sea Sparrow is located, turn
around and go into the pool area in the mansion. When
in the pool area, fly up
through the roof. When you are completely above the
ceiling of the pool area, fly
north towards the black box/room. When you are over
the brown underworld,
press Square and go under the game world. You can
then fly anywhere under the
water.
Fall from water to sky: Enable the "Dodo (flying" and
"Float on water" codes. Go
into the water and drive around. Gain speed and fly into
the air. Try to flip your
vehicle upside down in the water. If done correctly, the
car will sink and a clicking
sound will start. You and the vehicle will drop out of the
sky and land somewhere
random in Vice City. Note: You may need to try this a
few times with different
cars. If it does not work immediately, you will die.
Re-appearing cars: If you have any vehicles in a garage,
you can blow it up into
scrap metal. If the metal is in the garage, make the
garage door close. Once you
have it open again, the car that was destroyed will
appear again, while the scrap
metal of the car that was destroyed is still there.
Never fall off motorcycle: Take a PCG 600 to a clothes
shop. The easiest one
is "Collar And Cuffs" with the "Mr. Vercetti" outfit. Get
off the motorcycle, and get
the outfit. Once it is gone, place the motorcycle parallel
to the edge of the small
steps, so that the clothes still respawn. Once you do
this, get on the motorcycle at
the exact moment when you buy the clothes. You will be
stuck the motorcycle as
though the game merged you into it. This now allows
you to drive around safely
without worry of falling off. Also, it lets you use an
assault riffle as a drive-by
weapon. However, once you fire the gun, the bike will
return to normal, allowing
you to fall off again and disabling the gun. However, as
long as you hold Circle,
you will still shoot assault rifle. This glitch can also be
done with other motorcycles.
Never fall off motorcycle (2): In order to do this glitch,
you need to be in a point in
the game where your cell phone is ringing. Also, you will
need any motorcycle. Go
to Rafael's and get off your bike. If your cell phone is
ringing, hold L1. While
holding L1, walk over and get the clothes icon, then get
back on the bike. You
must hold L1 the entire time. Drive off and release L1.
The screen should turn
black, and you will then should be standing up, as if you
were not on the bike. You
can pull wheelies all the way back and not fall off. You
can also do a lot insane
stunt bonuses that you otherwise would be incapable of
doing. While on the
motorcycle, switch to grenades or molotov cocktails to
throw them off. Note: The
cocktails will heavily damage your bike. This trick also
works in cars, and you can
see Tommy's legs appearing from the bottom.
No-Hands Motorcycle: With this glitch you can "ride" a
motorcycle without ever
being thrown off (until it blows up...) First off you have
to have someone calling
you in the game (make sure you don't answer it). Then
find a place with a change
of clothes, and while the phone is ringing, grab the
spare clothes and jump on a
bike. Now suddenly good ol' Tom is a master
motorcyclist, he no longer needs to
use his hands when riding and he cant be thrown off.
The bike still handles the
same, except you can't go into Pay 'N Spray because it
doesn't think you are on
the bike. However you can do some great insane stunts
without any worry of flying
off the bike. I've done this several times and it seems to
work fine. I have
currently only tried this at my Hyman Condo, so I don't
actually know for sure if it
works anywhere else, but I don't see why it shouldn't.
Free money in taxi without a passenger: When you start
the taxi mission, try to
pick up a person next a police officer and get one star.
Stop next the police officer
and make sure he approaches your car from the
passenger side (where the
person you picked up should be sitting). As soon the cop
opens the door, speed
away. The cop will pull out your passenger, but the
game will think that he is still in
the taxi. Upon arrival at the location which the
passenger specified, you will be
awarded money, as if he was still in the car.
Zeba taxi damage immunity: For some reason, the entire
Zebra taxi can appear
damaged except for the passenger side. The two doors
on the passenger side
cannot get scratched or removed, other than when the
entire vehicle explodes.
Headless driver: Find a Ruger or a Sniper. Look for any
car, get in front of it, and
make it stop. Make sure only one person is inside the
car. Shoot the person in the
head and run quickly to the driver's side door. Use the
rear view (L1 + R1) and
move the car slightly. Watch as the headless driver
walks to you.
Phil Cassedy's missing arm: During the first intermission
sequence in the
Boomshine Saigon mission, Phil gets one of his arms
blown off by the bomb he
placed on the boomshine barrels. Continue the mission
and get Phil to the doctor.
Watch as he gets out of the car. The arm that he blew off
is now switched with his
other arm.
Regenerating people: To see people appear out of the
middle of nowhere, aim the
sniper rifle in the distance at a sidewalk or a road.
People will just appear and walk
around.
Unlimited Colt .45 ammunition: If you have a Colt .45 in
your weapon slot and
complete The Shootist mission with a score of 70 or
more, it will have unlimited
ammunition.
Floating road blocks: Go into an alley that has orange
road blocks. Start shooting
them and moving them around. Walk a few blocks away
and when you return they
should be floating in the air.
Taxi driver pickup: Steal any taxi cab and immediately
press R3 to start a taxi
mission. The person you are supposed to pick up is often
the taxi cab driver you
just pulled out.
No star for police collision: Normally, if you hit a cop car
while driving your wanted
level will increase. However, if you are driving and hit
the cop head-on, there are
no repercussions (no wanted level increase, no cops
chasing you around, etc.)
This may be helpful in missions that are time-sensitive if
you can make sure to hit
the cops head-on.
Mid-air skid marks: Get a motorcycle (PCJ 600
recommended) and find a Packer
driving down the road. Stay directly behind its ramp,
just keeping up with it.
Suddenly, hit the gas but do not launch off the top of the
Packer -- just roll back
down the ramp in reverse to see your skid mark floating
in the air.
Mid-air skid marks (2): Get a Packer and park a car on
top of it. Drive the Packer
in reverse so that the car falls off the top of it. The car
will leave a big skid mark
hanging in the middle of the air.
Lose extra health from prostitute: If you use a prostitute
to get your health above
100 and go to a save point, your health will drop back to
100 when you exit the
save point.
Lose extra health with a prostitute: After you complete
the Pizza Boy mission and
get 150 health, if you pick up a prostitute, your health
will drop to 125
immediately. Thus, after the Pizza Boy missions, there is
no longer a point of
getting a prostitute for health gain.
Weapon stuck on detonator: After you get a 100%
completion, the game awards
you with unlimited ammunition, among other things.
This causes a glitch if you get
the bombs from Phil's Place or the car bomb from 8
Ball's. The weapon selector
gets stuck on the detonator. Do not use these weapons
after you get a 100%
rating.
Fall off the world: Get on a bike and ride it fast towards
a clothes store. Jump off,
and it will stop just inside the doorway. Run inside and
jump on the bike, then onto
the door. Jump in any direction and you will fall or float
depending on which
direction you go. You will then land back outside the
store.
Love Juice mission: No motorcycles: During the first of
the Love Fist mission (Love
Juice) when you pick up Mercedes to take her back to
the band, do not use a
motorcycle of any kind. She will not be able to get on the
back if it during the
intermission sequence, although anyone can during
other missions.
Keep Your Friends Close mission: Wrong subtitle text:
When Tommy tells
Rosenberg to get 20 million of counterfeit money, the
subtitles state 3.
Ice Cream Factory saves: The game may glitch at times
when it is saved at the
Ice Cream Factory. When that save is reloaded, the
game will turn black and
freeze.
Vice Point: Pedestrians sitting on air: Go into the North
Point Mall and look around
on the benches. Sometimes the pedestrians will sit down
on them, however they
sit strangely and are actually sitting on air.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in club: Get a Freeway motorcycle
and drive it into the
Malibu Club for an interesting glitch.
Vice Point: Non-reflecting mirror In Malibu Club:
Upstairs in the Malibu Club is a
mirror on one of the walls with a model that resembles
Colonel Cortez's ship. Walk
over to it. Looking into the mirror in first person view,
you can see that it reflects
the things in the office like a painting on the wall, the
chairs, a few lights, the
model ship, and the doorway. However, it does not
reflect you.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in mall: You can take any kind of
motorcycle into the North
Point Mall. You can then drive around in the mall freely.
However, it is easier to
drive up the "down" escalator to go up and ramp down
when you want to go down.
Escobar International Airport: Get weapons inside: Go
through the metal detector
at the airport and your weapons will be removed. Keep
running at the glass where
your weapons are located and you can actually get some
of them back while inside
the airport.
Leaf Links: Jack Caddy through gate: When you go to
Leaf Links Golf Course's
front gates, wait until a Caddy comes up to the gate.
They try to go through the
gate all thetime. When they turn their golf carts around
so you are looking at one
side of the Caddy, walk up to the gate and press
Triangle. You will step through
the gate and jack the Caddy.
Little Havana: Helicopter with wheels: After acquiring
Sunshine Autos, get a
Sparrow. Fly it to Sunshine Autos and set it down just
outside the Pay 'N' Spray in
back, If you are confident in your flying abilities,
attempt to fly it into the spray
area. If not, turn it around so that the cockpit is facing
the four garages and push
it inside. Once it is in there, get inside. After it is
sprayed, fly it out of the garage
and you will have a helicopter with wheels.
Little Havana: Shoot through glass wall: Get a gun that
will visibly go through the
glass wall when you fire, such as the mini-gun or
flamethrower. In other words,
you have to see a part of it going through the glass. Fire
the gun through the glass
wall as Sunshine Autos. You will not see any fire or
blood, but nonetheless, you
can still kill anything through the glass wall. This works
best on the first floor of
Sunshine Autos. Use this trick to fend of the cops at a
five or star wanted level.
Little Havana: List mistake: On the fourth and final list
for Sunshine Autos, the list
says to get a "Baggage" instead of the vehicle's true
name, the "Baggage Handler".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes: Go to the Little
Havana Streetwear store. The
front door will be open. Enter it, then turn to your left.
You will see the clothes icon
with the word "Havana".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes (2): It is possible to
get this outfit. To do so,
ghost ride a motorcycle into the door, then jump over it
so you are on the counter
in the store. Place your back towards the clothing icon
and use a rifle that can aim
to blow up the motorcycle. The resulting explosion will
push you backwards
towards the clothes. You should see Tommy float under
the screen as if he is
falling, then he will appear outside in the Havana outfit.
Ocean Beach: Matrix-type move: Go into the lighthouse
on the beach. Climb to the
very top staircase. Then, attempt to jump down to the
last stairs through the
middle. Tommy will jump, do a small Trinity-style move
from The Matrix, then go
back to the stairs.
Ocean Beach: Unbreakable hotel window: Go to your
hotel room at the Ocean
View hotel. Shoot out of the window with a gun that
shoots bullets. They will pass
straight through without making a hole. If you use a
rocket launcher, it will hit the
window explode in the room without damaging the
window. This is useful when
assassinating someone on the street.
Starfish Island: Appear to be shrunk: Go to Starfish
Island and find any mansion
that has trees in its backyard. Stand next to the "tree"
and you will appear as if
you have shrunk very small. The "trees" behind the
Starfish Island houses are
actually big patches of grass.
Starfish Island: Garage door: At Vercetti Estate, as you
go up the left side stairs in
the front and go towards the front door, you will hear
the garage door open and it
will come up from beneath you.
Vercetti Estage: Big faced bills: In the Versetti Estate, go
into the office at the top
of the main stairs where you save the game. Select a
sniper rifle. Then, directly
right in front of the safe and crouch down. Zoom in and
look at the bills. The one
closest to Tommy (and some others) have the new style
big heads paper
currency. If this game takes place in the 1980s, they
should be the old small head
style bills.
Game completion bonuses: Successfully complete 100%
of the game. You will get
unlimited ammunition, double vehicle health, 200
health, and 200 armor limits. A
new set of clothes will be delivered to the Vercetti
Mansion. If you look closely it
reads; "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy
T-shirt". Walk into the
pink circles surrounding the men at your mansions and
they will follow you as
bodyguards.

Get to Starfish island early: To get to Starfish Island
without completing the
missions, get a fast motorcycle (not a moped). Go to the
Starfish bridge and floor
it through the tiny hole used by bridge pedestrians.
Wreck at the gate and the
game should put you on Starfish Island.
Get to any locked area early (1): Enable the "Dodo car"
code and use any car. Go
as fast as you can and jump over the highest sign
blocking the next section of the
game. Keep repeating this until you get there.
Get to any locked area early (2): Get a sniper rifle and
find a place where boats
are appearing. Wait until one is coming roughly straight
at you, then take out the
man piloting it with the rifle. If the boat was moving fast
enough, it will coast up to
you. You should be able to jump onto it. From there, you
can get to almost
anywhere. It may take awhile to find out good spots to
try this. One recommended
location is behind Diaz's mansion in the lawn behind the
hedge maze.
Get to any locked area early (3): While traveling at high
speeds in an Infernus hit
the gate the connects the both islands. If done correctly,
you can go through the
gate on the right side. Half of your vehicle will be on one
side of the gate, and the
other half will be on the other side. You can press

vehicle on the other side of the closed gate.
Get to any locked area early (4): Enable the "Cars float
on water" code. Then,
simply drive on the water to get to any island.
Restore health: Go to your hideout and go to Save.
Either save or leave without
saving and your health will be restored to full. Your
wanted level will not go down.
Increase Health By 20%: Enter any ambulance and
watch your health raise by
20%.
Increasing Armor: Get your wanted level to 4 stars and
when the SWAT Trucks
come after you, attempt to hijack one. Your armor will
rise to 100. Note: Hijacking
a SWAT car is not an easy task.
Clearer graphics: To make the game much clearer, pause
game play and go
to 'Display', then select 'Trails' and turn that option off.
Wanted level to zero: Go to your hideout and go to
"Save". Load the most recent
save and your wanted level will drop to zero.
Wanted level to zero 2: You can clear your wanted level
by entering a RC Racer
Competition. You do not have to complete the
competition to clear your wanted
level.

Money Tip: It is more likely that you will get more
money from a guy in a suit in
tie than some bum hobbling around. So, choose who you
beat up wisely if you are
in need of more than a few bucks.
Easy money (1): Occasionally as you wander around the
city, you will encounter a
cop fighting with a gang member (especially in
Northpoint Mall). If you step in and
hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good
Citizen's Bonus when the gang
member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can
continue to kick him and
receive the bonus two or three more times (until the
body disappears). This is an
easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting
in the process.
Easy money (2): Purchasing the strip club or the docks
will earn you extra money.
Easy money (3): Knock over the parking meters on the
sides of the streets to get
money.
Easy money (4): Enable the "Tommy groupies" code.
Run around until you have a
large group of women following. Lead them to the
nearest alleyway or garage and
just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too
much attention from cops and
paramedics.
Easy money (5): Enter any store and point a handgun at
the clerk until he gives
you money. Hold the gun for a few seconds until he
stops giving you money, then
run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. Note: Do not do this
in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.
Easy money (6): Enable the "Rhino" code and press L3
to start the vigilante
missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more
money. After a while, you will
have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on you
after a kill, enable the "Lower
Wanted Level" code.
Easy money (7): Go to a hideout that generates money.
Get the money and save
the game. The game time will advance three hours and
more money should be
available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This
does not always work.
Easy money (8): Stop someone a cop is chasing and get
a good citizen bonus.
Now if you keep on kicking the person the cop was
chasing, you will keep on
getting the bonus. I have gotten $300 before he
disappeared.
Easy Money (9): On the street racing, you can blow up
the other cars you have to
race when they are lined up before the race begins. Then
you will be able to run
the race by yourself and win a large amount of money.
Easy Money (10): Hijack a Taxi at any time during the
game and get about twenty
bucks. If you are in need of a quick 100 dollars or
something, just repeat this. But
it must be different taxis. You can't just keep getting in
and out of the same one.
Drowned pedestrians: Go to any dock with people on it
while you are on a
motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the people
(including cops) will dive in
the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off
the bike and look down
into the water without falling in. You can see their dead
bodies floating in the water.
Blood splatter: Kill someone with the chainsaw while
you are running and blood will
splatter on the screen.
Possible reference to next game: Listen to the VCHAT
radio station and you will
hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first
time calla". They will start
talking about different football conversations. Listen for
about one minute and you
will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we
were beaten by San
Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities
were Liberty City, Vice City,
and San Andreas. This may be a hint towards the
location or title of the fifth game
in the series.
Media coverage: Get your wanted level to six stars to get
your pursuit covered in
the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear.
Keep running from the
helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game
time will result in an
increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and
look at your statistics to
see messages that indicate at your media level. You will
start with a story in UFA
Today and progress to television news and continue
until it is a crisis.
Easy weapons: Free weapons are hidden all over the
city. The flamethrower and
rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons.
They can be found near the
boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a
few game hours. Collect
all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout.
The game will advance six
hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned.
Do this three to five
times, and all your company assets will be close to full,
and you can make the
rounds to get paid.
Unlimited ammunition (1): Go to any Ammu-Nation store
and choose a gun. Keep
buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next
time you buy it, the
ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you
will have an unlimited
amount.
Unlimited ammunition (2): Use the following trick to get
unlimited ammunition on
the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a submachine
gun-class weapon for $300,
then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the
same ammunition, and you
will save a couple thousand dollars.
Unlimited ammunition (3): After you finish the last story
line mission, the mobsters
who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a lot of
them and you should have
unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find
the MP5.
Giant shark: The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films
studio can be seen in the
water. You may need to complete all the missions for
InterGlobal Films for it to
appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of
knowing where it can be found.
Quick reloads (1): Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get
a score of 45 points.
Quick reloads (2): When using a gun, instead of using up
an entire clip and waiting
for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out your weapon
and then switch back to it, It
will be fully loaded without having to wait through the
normal reload animation.
Shoot police helicopters with one sniper shot: Use the
sniper rifle and aim at the
joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it
down with one shot.
Scare passenger: This trick works very well at a red
light. Find a car or truck that
has a passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or
truck's driver-side door
and press Triangle to open it. As soon as Tommy starts
to get in, press X to
accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be
in riding along, screaming
and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.
Easy health: While in a mall, buy something to eat at the
food court.
Clothing reactions: Your clothing will result in different
reactions during missions.
For example, when you go to the Cubans for the first
time, try wearing golf
clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling
you a woman and you will
make fun of him.
Save money with prostitutes: Get a convertible or
another open top car. Pick up a
prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or trees.
Your health will jump up and
she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all
the car rocking. If you
decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a
convertible, jump out as soon as
your health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or
kill the prostitute to get
your money back.
Submarine and cargo ship: You can find a sunken ship
and a submarine up north
off the coast. The submarine is directly north of Ammu-Nation and The Tool Store
at Vice Point Mall. The cargo ship is east of the
submarine. Note: The submarine is
Soviet, as indicated by the red star on it.
Kills Increase: If you want to get a lot of kills on your
resume, do the following:
Enable the "Ladie's Man" cheat which gets different
kinds of women to follow
Tommy around(Up to 8 at one time) Then find a bus. It
could be a coach or the
bus you find down at the docks. They will enter the bus
when you go in. Then, get
out one of your powerful weapons that can blow up a
vehicle quickly. Get far
enough away and before they can get out, blow up the
car. You will get 8 easy
kills.

BUSINESSES
Recommended business order:
Buy the businesses in this order for the best way to
make money.
1. Kaufman Cabs: As soon as you are making money,
stash as many Zebra cabs
across the city as you possible. Some missions depend
on you getting to the next
garage with a Zebra. Always drive into the garage for
money pick ups. You can
run over the Haitians awaiting you.
2. Print Factory: Makes a lot of money for the outlay. If
you get past the run on
making money, the other runs are easier.
3. Sunshine Autos: If you buy this next, you can start
filling up the drop off garage
as you go on the other missions, saving time.
4. InterGlobal Films: Has a lot of missions, but gets quite
a good amount of money
and fun.
5. Cherry Pickers: You need 50 consecutive drug deals to
make money. The best
place to sell is on the beach. There are always lots of
sales and you can spot cops
easily.
6. Pole Position: Waiting for your $600 lap dance bill is
boring. The only
consolation is that your other businesses are making
money while you sit there.
7. Boat Yard: Should be last. Although it is cheap, the
race is very hard to
complete. You also get very little money out of it when it
is up and running.
Pole Position Strip Club business:
Buy the Pole Position Strip Club located just west of the
Ocean View Hotel for
$30,000. Enter the hallway in the back of the building
and go in the first door on
the left for a private dance. You will begin spending
money on her. Get to $600
and the business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can
make per day is $4,000.
Print Works business: Buy the Print Works located
northeast of Escobar
International Airport for $70,000. Complete the two

you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $8,000.

and locate the dry erase board with a list of cars on the
wall. Steal all the cars on
the list and bring them to this garage. When this is done,
the business will begin
making money for you. Each time a list is completed, the
business will make more
money and a new car for the showroom will be
unlocked. The maximum amount
you can make per day is $6,000 total ($1,500 per car
list).
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (2): After you have
purchased the Sunshine Auto
Car Showroom, go under the building to find a pink
mission circle. This is a
mission where you are entered into races. Once you
have started the races,
enable the "Rhino" code. Get into the Rhino, then shoot
all the cars that are in the
race. When the race starts, there will be no cars
remaining except yourself. Once
you have completed the race, you will automatically win.
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom (3): When doing the lists
of cars, when you get to
the third list (sports cars), you can find almost all of
them on the road the
Showroom is on, or at the main terminal of the airport.
Sit there and they will
appear. On the last list, you must buy the Cherry
Poppers ice cream shop to get
the truck.
Boatyard business: Buy the Boatyard in Vice Port for
$10,000. Get in one of the
boats and start the Checkpoint Charlie mission. Take the
boat through all the
checkpoints within the allotted time. After this, the
Boatyard will begin making
money for you. Repeat the mission to increase the
amount of money that it brings
in. The maximum amount you can make per day is
$2,000 to begin with. This
number increases each time the Checkpoint Charlie is
completed.
Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory business: Buy the

Whoopee and get 50 buyers in
a single run. You cannot leave the truck or get arrested
or killed. After this, the
business will begin making money for you. The
maximum amount you can make
per day is $3,000.
Film Studio business: Buy the Film Studio on Prawn
Island for $60,000. Complete
the four missions related to the Film Studio that are now
unlocked in front of

for you. The maximum
amount you can make per day is $7,000.

end of Little Haiti for
$40,000. Three missions will become unlocked. Get in a

GLITCHES
Helicopter and garage glitch: If you own Sunshine
Autos, then this trick will work.
First, fill at least one of your garages up to the maximum
amount of cars at
Sunshine Autos. Then, get a helicopter. It doesn't matter
which one. Attempt to fly
it directly over your garages at Sunshine Autos (as high
as you want). You will see
the message, "You cannot store any more cars in this
garage." It's the same one
you see when you pull a car up to a full garage.
Sink under the city: Take a motorcycle and go to your
first save point. Go down
the stairs were there is a police star and continue
straight until you cross the
street. You will technically be going through bushes and
stuff. Anyhow.. a little
futher there will be in the grass a ligther green patch of
grass. If you go in it with
your motorcycle, you will start sinking into it and finally
fall under the city and see
under it!!!
Disappearing Car: Blow up a car next to one of your
garages. Then, try to push
the destroyed vehicle into the garage. As you are almost
in, the car will just
disappear. Of course, if you blow up a car already in
your garage, it will just be as
good as new when you close the garage and then open
it.
Selfish Cops: Find a cop somewhere in the city and then
point a gun at a
pedestrian in front of the cop. It must be an automatic
aim weapon. The cop will
not do anything even though he sees you pointing a gun
at a person. Then, try
pointing at him. You will get 2 quick stars on you.
Interesting behavior.
Speedy Roof Ride: Make sure you have a chainsaw. Now,
jump on top of any car
and use the chainsaw. It will come down on the top of
this person's car. They will
sometimes get scared, get out and run away. But,
sometimes they will get scared
and drive rally fast and wild. Stay on the top of the
speeding car and go for the
ride of your life.
Car Riding Glitch: If you try to get on top of a car, it will
usually carry you
wherever it goes, but sometimes you will slide off as the
car accelerates. It
happens rarely and will happen every time you try it
during that time until you
reload the game. Then, usually it will go back to normal.
Change size of the moon: Use the sniper rifle at night,
zoom in on the moon, then
shoot it. It will get bigger or smaller.
Change size of garbage bags: Get a sniper rifle and zoom
in on a group of two
garbage bags. Start shooting at them to make one very
big and the other very
small.
Become a pedestrian: Go to the Leaf Links Golf Club.
When you see a caddy, steal
it. Stay near the person you stole it from. Usually, they
will try to steal it back
from you. Make sure they are closer to the passenger
side of the caddy when you
do this. As they are walking towards you to try to steal it
back, be ready to hit the
gas. As they are getting back in the caddy, floor it.
Instead of kicking you out of
the caddy, they will take your place, and your body will
disappear. The camera will
stay on the caddy, but you will be gone and the
pedestrian takes your place. Then
let go of the acceleration button and the camera will
follow the pedestrian around.
The only thing you can do at this point is change the
radio stations and look
around with L2 and R2 buttons. This is a cool trick but is
very hard to do. It takes
some practice but eventually it will work.
Stand on car in mid-air: When you go over a ramp or
jump, open your car door in
mid-air. You will get out and will be standing on the car
while it is floating in mid-
air. This can also be done by driving off a bridge and
bailing out in mid-air.
Sink through a car: Get a Packer, and drive a motorcycle
on top of it. Exit the
motorcycle and you will sink through the packer as if it
was not there. You will then
pop up next to it.
Vehicles disappearing from garage: Vehicles stored in
the garages at the Hyman
Condo complex can disappear from them if you take the
helicopter on the roof and
return later.
Store more than two cars or motorcycles in garage:
When you have two cars or
motorcycles in your garage at your safe house, you
usually will not be able to
store any vehicles inside. To get around this, get off the
car or motorcycle in front
of the full garage. The garage will open. Get on your
motorcycle or into your car
quickly and drive it into the garage before the door
closes.
Get more than two motorcycles into a single garage: Get
a motorcycle and drive it
to a garage with two other motorcycles. Drive your
motorcycle to the garage and
get off to open the garage door. Then, get back on and
drive it in before the
garage door has a chance to shut. When you save the
game, the third motorcycle
will remain in the garage.
Climb a tree: Go to where a beach or a body of water is
located. There should be
some palm trees nearby. Find one that is bent (or
curved) and try to climb it.
Note: Do not run up the tree or you will fall in -- walk
slowly. When you get close
to the top, slow down. If you continue walking, you will
fall.
Aim with cell phone: When the phone is ringing, equip
yourself with any kind of
auto-aiming weapon (such as a pistol). Press R1 to aim
it at a random pedestrian.
While still holding R1, press L1 to answer the phone.
Tommy will continue to aim in
the same spot, though now he is using the cell phone
instead of the gun. You may
release R1 and he will continue to aim at the same spot,
even if the pedestrian
moves. Note: Depending on how you move, he may
switch between holding the
phone to his ear, and pointing it at the blank spot that
the pedestrian used to
occupy.
Shoot yourself: Get a semi-automatic weapon (Uzi
recommended) on an Angel or
a Freeway. Look left and press Square to reverse and
Circle to shoot. You will
appear to be shooting yourself.
Fly under Vice City: Get a helicopter (Hunter
recommended), and go to the front of
the WK Chariot Hotel in the Downtown area. This is the
same hotel that was across
from Candi Suxxx's and Shrub's love nest. It is marked
"Vice Point Langer" on the
front. Take your helicopter and fly it under the front
awning. Basically, fly it
directly up to the front door. Then, hold X and fly
straight up. You will fly through a
fake (non-solid) roof, and be inside the hotel. You can
see the spiral stairwell that
you have to run up to take the photos in the Martha's
Mugshot mission from the
outside. From there, fly downward and you are now
under the game map and can
go anywhere. Note: Do not fly too low or too high or you
may appear above
ground or end up dying in the water.
Fly under Vice City (2): Go to your Mansion. If you have
a Sea Sparrow get into it.
If not, try the helicopter on the roof. From where the
Sea Sparrow is located, turn
around and go into the pool area in the mansion. When
in the pool area, fly up
through the roof. When you are completely above the
ceiling of the pool area, fly
north towards the black box/room. When you are over
the brown underworld,
press Square and go under the game world. You can
then fly anywhere under the
water.
Fall from water to sky: Enable the "Dodo (flying" and
"Float on water" codes. Go
into the water and drive around. Gain speed and fly into
the air. Try to flip your
vehicle upside down in the water. If done correctly, the
car will sink and a clicking
sound will start. You and the vehicle will drop out of the
sky and land somewhere
random in Vice City. Note: You may need to try this a
few times with different
cars. If it does not work immediately, you will die.
Re-appearing cars: If you have any vehicles in a garage,
you can blow it up into
scrap metal. If the metal is in the garage, make the
garage door close. Once you
have it open again, the car that was destroyed will
appear again, while the scrap
metal of the car that was destroyed is still there.
Never fall off motorcycle: Take a PCG 600 to a clothes
shop. The easiest one
is "Collar And Cuffs" with the "Mr. Vercetti" outfit. Get
off the motorcycle, and get
the outfit. Once it is gone, place the motorcycle parallel
to the edge of the small
steps, so that the clothes still respawn. Once you do
this, get on the motorcycle at
the exact moment when you buy the clothes. You will be
stuck the motorcycle as
though the game merged you into it. This now allows
you to drive around safely
without worry of falling off. Also, it lets you use an
assault riffle as a drive-by
weapon. However, once you fire the gun, the bike will
return to normal, allowing
you to fall off again and disabling the gun. However, as
long as you hold Circle,
you will still shoot assault rifle. This glitch can also be
done with other motorcycles.
Never fall off motorcycle (2): In order to do this glitch,
you need to be in a point in
the game where your cell phone is ringing. Also, you will
need any motorcycle. Go
to Rafael's and get off your bike. If your cell phone is
ringing, hold L1. While
holding L1, walk over and get the clothes icon, then get
back on the bike. You
must hold L1 the entire time. Drive off and release L1.
The screen should turn
black, and you will then should be standing up, as if you
were not on the bike. You
can pull wheelies all the way back and not fall off. You
can also do a lot insane
stunt bonuses that you otherwise would be incapable of
doing. While on the
motorcycle, switch to grenades or molotov cocktails to
throw them off. Note: The
cocktails will heavily damage your bike. This trick also
works in cars, and you can
see Tommy's legs appearing from the bottom.
No-Hands Motorcycle: With this glitch you can "ride" a
motorcycle without ever
being thrown off (until it blows up...) First off you have
to have someone calling
you in the game (make sure you don't answer it). Then
find a place with a change
of clothes, and while the phone is ringing, grab the
spare clothes and jump on a
bike. Now suddenly good ol' Tom is a master
motorcyclist, he no longer needs to
use his hands when riding and he cant be thrown off.
The bike still handles the
same, except you can't go into Pay 'N Spray because it
doesn't think you are on
the bike. However you can do some great insane stunts
without any worry of flying
off the bike. I've done this several times and it seems to
work fine. I have
currently only tried this at my Hyman Condo, so I don't
actually know for sure if it
works anywhere else, but I don't see why it shouldn't.
Free money in taxi without a passenger: When you start
the taxi mission, try to
pick up a person next a police officer and get one star.
Stop next the police officer
and make sure he approaches your car from the
passenger side (where the
person you picked up should be sitting). As soon the cop
opens the door, speed
away. The cop will pull out your passenger, but the
game will think that he is still in
the taxi. Upon arrival at the location which the
passenger specified, you will be
awarded money, as if he was still in the car.
Zeba taxi damage immunity: For some reason, the entire
Zebra taxi can appear
damaged except for the passenger side. The two doors
on the passenger side
cannot get scratched or removed, other than when the
entire vehicle explodes.
Headless driver: Find a Ruger or a Sniper. Look for any
car, get in front of it, and
make it stop. Make sure only one person is inside the
car. Shoot the person in the
head and run quickly to the driver's side door. Use the
rear view (L1 + R1) and
move the car slightly. Watch as the headless driver
walks to you.
Phil Cassedy's missing arm: During the first intermission
sequence in the
Boomshine Saigon mission, Phil gets one of his arms
blown off by the bomb he
placed on the boomshine barrels. Continue the mission
and get Phil to the doctor.
Watch as he gets out of the car. The arm that he blew off
is now switched with his
other arm.
Regenerating people: To see people appear out of the
middle of nowhere, aim the
sniper rifle in the distance at a sidewalk or a road.
People will just appear and walk
around.
Unlimited Colt .45 ammunition: If you have a Colt .45 in
your weapon slot and
complete The Shootist mission with a score of 70 or
more, it will have unlimited
ammunition.
Floating road blocks: Go into an alley that has orange
road blocks. Start shooting
them and moving them around. Walk a few blocks away
and when you return they
should be floating in the air.
Taxi driver pickup: Steal any taxi cab and immediately
press R3 to start a taxi
mission. The person you are supposed to pick up is often
the taxi cab driver you
just pulled out.
No star for police collision: Normally, if you hit a cop car
while driving your wanted
level will increase. However, if you are driving and hit
the cop head-on, there are
no repercussions (no wanted level increase, no cops
chasing you around, etc.)
This may be helpful in missions that are time-sensitive if
you can make sure to hit
the cops head-on.
Mid-air skid marks: Get a motorcycle (PCJ 600
recommended) and find a Packer
driving down the road. Stay directly behind its ramp,
just keeping up with it.
Suddenly, hit the gas but do not launch off the top of the
Packer -- just roll back
down the ramp in reverse to see your skid mark floating
in the air.
Mid-air skid marks (2): Get a Packer and park a car on
top of it. Drive the Packer
in reverse so that the car falls off the top of it. The car
will leave a big skid mark
hanging in the middle of the air.
Lose extra health from prostitute: If you use a prostitute
to get your health above
100 and go to a save point, your health will drop back to
100 when you exit the
save point.
Lose extra health with a prostitute: After you complete
the Pizza Boy mission and
get 150 health, if you pick up a prostitute, your health
will drop to 125
immediately. Thus, after the Pizza Boy missions, there is
no longer a point of
getting a prostitute for health gain.
Weapon stuck on detonator: After you get a 100%
completion, the game awards
you with unlimited ammunition, among other things.
This causes a glitch if you get
the bombs from Phil's Place or the car bomb from 8
Ball's. The weapon selector
gets stuck on the detonator. Do not use these weapons
after you get a 100%
rating.
Fall off the world: Get on a bike and ride it fast towards
a clothes store. Jump off,
and it will stop just inside the doorway. Run inside and
jump on the bike, then onto
the door. Jump in any direction and you will fall or float
depending on which
direction you go. You will then land back outside the
store.
Love Juice mission: No motorcycles: During the first of
the Love Fist mission (Love
Juice) when you pick up Mercedes to take her back to
the band, do not use a
motorcycle of any kind. She will not be able to get on the
back if it during the
intermission sequence, although anyone can during
other missions.
Keep Your Friends Close mission: Wrong subtitle text:
When Tommy tells
Rosenberg to get 20 million of counterfeit money, the
subtitles state 3.
Ice Cream Factory saves: The game may glitch at times
when it is saved at the
Ice Cream Factory. When that save is reloaded, the
game will turn black and
freeze.
Vice Point: Pedestrians sitting on air: Go into the North
Point Mall and look around
on the benches. Sometimes the pedestrians will sit down
on them, however they
sit strangely and are actually sitting on air.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in club: Get a Freeway motorcycle
and drive it into the
Malibu Club for an interesting glitch.
Vice Point: Non-reflecting mirror In Malibu Club:
Upstairs in the Malibu Club is a
mirror on one of the walls with a model that resembles
Colonel Cortez's ship. Walk
over to it. Looking into the mirror in first person view,
you can see that it reflects
the things in the office like a painting on the wall, the
chairs, a few lights, the
model ship, and the doorway. However, it does not
reflect you.
Vice Point: Motorcycle in mall: You can take any kind of
motorcycle into the North
Point Mall. You can then drive around in the mall freely.
However, it is easier to
drive up the "down" escalator to go up and ramp down
when you want to go down.
Escobar International Airport: Get weapons inside: Go
through the metal detector
at the airport and your weapons will be removed. Keep
running at the glass where
your weapons are located and you can actually get some
of them back while inside
the airport.
Leaf Links: Jack Caddy through gate: When you go to
Leaf Links Golf Course's
front gates, wait until a Caddy comes up to the gate.
They try to go through the
gate all thetime. When they turn their golf carts around
so you are looking at one
side of the Caddy, walk up to the gate and press
Triangle. You will step through
the gate and jack the Caddy.
Little Havana: Helicopter with wheels: After acquiring
Sunshine Autos, get a
Sparrow. Fly it to Sunshine Autos and set it down just
outside the Pay 'N' Spray in
back, If you are confident in your flying abilities,
attempt to fly it into the spray
area. If not, turn it around so that the cockpit is facing
the four garages and push
it inside. Once it is in there, get inside. After it is
sprayed, fly it out of the garage
and you will have a helicopter with wheels.
Little Havana: Shoot through glass wall: Get a gun that
will visibly go through the
glass wall when you fire, such as the mini-gun or
flamethrower. In other words,
you have to see a part of it going through the glass. Fire
the gun through the glass
wall as Sunshine Autos. You will not see any fire or
blood, but nonetheless, you
can still kill anything through the glass wall. This works
best on the first floor of
Sunshine Autos. Use this trick to fend of the cops at a
five or star wanted level.
Little Havana: List mistake: On the fourth and final list
for Sunshine Autos, the list
says to get a "Baggage" instead of the vehicle's true
name, the "Baggage Handler".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes: Go to the Little
Havana Streetwear store. The
front door will be open. Enter it, then turn to your left.
You will see the clothes icon
with the word "Havana".
Little Havana: Untouchable clothes (2): It is possible to
get this outfit. To do so,
ghost ride a motorcycle into the door, then jump over it
so you are on the counter
in the store. Place your back towards the clothing icon
and use a rifle that can aim
to blow up the motorcycle. The resulting explosion will
push you backwards
towards the clothes. You should see Tommy float under
the screen as if he is
falling, then he will appear outside in the Havana outfit.
Ocean Beach: Matrix-type move: Go into the lighthouse
on the beach. Climb to the
very top staircase. Then, attempt to jump down to the
last stairs through the
middle. Tommy will jump, do a small Trinity-style move
from The Matrix, then go
back to the stairs.
Ocean Beach: Unbreakable hotel window: Go to your
hotel room at the Ocean
View hotel. Shoot out of the window with a gun that
shoots bullets. They will pass
straight through without making a hole. If you use a
rocket launcher, it will hit the
window explode in the room without damaging the
window. This is useful when
assassinating someone on the street.
Starfish Island: Appear to be shrunk: Go to Starfish
Island and find any mansion
that has trees in its backyard. Stand next to the "tree"
and you will appear as if
you have shrunk very small. The "trees" behind the
Starfish Island houses are
actually big patches of grass.
Starfish Island: Garage door: At Vercetti Estate, as you
go up the left side stairs in
the front and go towards the front door, you will hear
the garage door open and it
will come up from beneath you.
Vercetti Estage: Big faced bills: In the Versetti Estate, go
into the office at the top
of the main stairs where you save the game. Select a
sniper rifle. Then, directly
right in front of the safe and crouch down. Zoom in and
look at the bills. The one
closest to Tommy (and some others) have the new style
big heads paper
currency. If this game takes place in the 1980s, they
should be the old small head
style bills.
Game completion bonuses: Successfully complete 100%
of the game. You will get
unlimited ammunition, double vehicle health, 200
health, and 200 armor limits. A
new set of clothes will be delivered to the Vercetti
Mansion. If you look closely it
reads; "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy
T-shirt". Walk into the
pink circles surrounding the men at your mansions and
they will follow you as
bodyguards.

Get to Starfish island early: To get to Starfish Island
without completing the
missions, get a fast motorcycle (not a moped). Go to the
Starfish bridge and floor
it through the tiny hole used by bridge pedestrians.
Wreck at the gate and the
game should put you on Starfish Island.
Get to any locked area early (1): Enable the "Dodo car"
code and use any car. Go
as fast as you can and jump over the highest sign
blocking the next section of the
game. Keep repeating this until you get there.
Get to any locked area early (2): Get a sniper rifle and
find a place where boats
are appearing. Wait until one is coming roughly straight
at you, then take out the
man piloting it with the rifle. If the boat was moving fast
enough, it will coast up to
you. You should be able to jump onto it. From there, you
can get to almost
anywhere. It may take awhile to find out good spots to
try this. One recommended
location is behind Diaz's mansion in the lawn behind the
hedge maze.
Get to any locked area early (3): While traveling at high
speeds in an Infernus hit
the gate the connects the both islands. If done correctly,
you can go through the

on water" code. Then,
simply drive on the water to get to any island.
Restore health: Go to your hideout and go to Save.
Either save or leave without
saving and your health will be restored to full. Your
wanted level will not go down.
Increase Health By 20%: Enter any ambulance and
watch your health raise by
20%.
Increasing Armor: Get your wanted level to 4 stars and
when the SWAT Trucks
come after you, attempt to hijack one. Your armor will
rise to 100. Note: Hijacking
a SWAT car is not an easy task.
Clearer graphics: To make the game much clearer, pause
game play and go
to 'Display', then select 'Trails' and turn that option off.
Wanted level to zero: Go to your hideout and go to
"Save". Load the most recent
save and your wanted level will drop to zero.

by entering a RC Racer
Competition. You do not have to complete the
competition to clear your wanted
level.

Money Tip: It is more likely that you will get more
money from a guy in a suit in
tie than some bum hobbling around. So, choose who you
beat up wisely if you are
in need of more than a few bucks.
Easy money (1): Occasionally as you wander around the
city, you will encounter a
cop fighting with a gang member (especially in
Northpoint Mall). If you step in and
hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good
Citizen's Bonus when the gang
member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can
continue to kick him and
receive the bonus two or three more times (until the
body disappears). This is an
easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting
in the process.
Easy money (2): Purchasing the strip club or the docks
will earn you extra money.
Easy money (3): Knock over the parking meters on the
sides of the streets to get
money.
Easy money (4): Enable the "Tommy groupies" code.
Run around until you have a
large group of women following. Lead them to the
nearest alleyway or garage and
just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too
much attention from cops and
paramedics.
Easy money (5): Enter any store and point a handgun at
the clerk until he gives
you money. Hold the gun for a few seconds until he
stops giving you money, then
run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code. Note: Do not do this
in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.
Easy money (6): Enable the "Rhino" code and press L3
to start the vigilante
missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more
money. After a while, you will
have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on you
after a kill, enable the "Lower
Wanted Level" code.
Easy money (7): Go to a hideout that generates money.
Get the money and save
the game. The game time will advance three hours and
more money should be
available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This
does not always work.
Easy money (8): Stop someone a cop is chasing and get
a good citizen bonus.
Now if you keep on kicking the person the cop was
chasing, you will keep on
getting the bonus. I have gotten $300 before he
disappeared.
Easy Money (9): On the street racing, you can blow up
the other cars you have to
race when they are lined up before the race begins. Then
you will be able to run
the race by yourself and win a large amount of money.
Easy Money (10): Hijack a Taxi at any time during the
game and get about twenty
bucks. If you are in need of a quick 100 dollars or
something, just repeat this. But
it must be different taxis. You can't just keep getting in
and out of the same one.
Drowned pedestrians: Go to any dock with people on it
while you are on a
motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the people
(including cops) will dive in
the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off
the bike and look down
into the water without falling in. You can see their dead
bodies floating in the water.
Blood splatter: Kill someone with the chainsaw while
you are running and blood will
splatter on the screen.
Possible reference to next game: Listen to the VCHAT
radio station and you will
hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first
time calla". They will start
talking about different football conversations. Listen for
about one minute and you
will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we
were beaten by San
Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities
were Liberty City, Vice City,
and San Andreas. This may be a hint towards the
location or title of the fifth game
in the series.
Media coverage: Get your wanted level to six stars to get
your pursuit covered in
the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear.
Keep running from the
helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game
time will result in an
increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and
look at your statistics to
see messages that indicate at your media level. You will
start with a story in UFA
Today and progress to television news and continue
until it is a crisis.
Easy weapons: Free weapons are hidden all over the
city. The flamethrower and
rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons.
They can be found near the
boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a
few game hours. Collect
all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout.
The game will advance six
hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned.
Do this three to five
times, and all your company assets will be close to full,
and you can make the
rounds to get paid.
Unlimited ammunition (1): Go to any Ammu-Nation store
and choose a gun. Keep
buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next
time you buy it, the
ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you
will have an unlimited
amount.
Unlimited ammunition (2): Use the following trick to get
unlimited ammunition on
the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a submachine
gun-class weapon for $300,
then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the
same ammunition, and you
will save a couple thousand dollars.
Unlimited ammunition (3): After you finish the last story
line mission, the mobsters
who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a lot of
them and you should have
unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find
the MP5.
Giant shark: The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films
studio can be seen in the
water. You may need to complete all the missions for
InterGlobal Films for it to
appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of
knowing where it can be found.
Quick reloads (1): Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get
a score of 45 points.
Quick reloads (2): When using a gun, instead of using up
an entire clip and waiting
for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out your weapon
and then switch back to it, It
will be fully loaded without having to wait through the
normal reload animation.
Shoot police helicopters with one sniper shot: Use the
sniper rifle and aim at the
joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it
down with one shot.
Scare passenger: This trick works very well at a red
light. Find a car or truck that
has a passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or
truck's driver-side door
and press Triangle to open it. As soon as Tommy starts
to get in, press X to
accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be
in riding along, screaming
and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.
Easy health: While in a mall, buy something to eat at the
food court.
Clothing reactions: Your clothing will result in different
reactions during missions.
For example, when you go to the Cubans for the first
time, try wearing golf
clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling
you a woman and you will
make fun of him.
Save money with prostitutes: Get a convertible or
another open top car. Pick up a
prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or trees.
Your health will jump up and
she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all
the car rocking. If you
decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a
convertible, jump out as soon as
your health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or
kill the prostitute to get
your money back.
Submarine and cargo ship: You can find a sunken ship
and a submarine up north
off the coast. The submarine is directly north of Ammu-Nation and The Tool Store
at Vice Point Mall. The cargo ship is east of the
submarine. Note: The submarine is
Soviet, as indicated by the red star on it.
Kills Increase: If you want to get a lot of kills on your
resume, do the following:
Enable the "Ladie's Man" cheat which gets different
kinds of women to follow
Tommy around(Up to 8 at one time) Then find a bus. It
could be a coach or the
bus you find down at the docks. They will enter the bus
when you go in. Then, get
out one of your powerful weapons that can blow up a
vehicle quickly. Get far
enough away and before they can get out, blow up the
car. You will get 8 easy
kills.
