Get a car that isn't an ambulance, taxi or police and
drive around [slowly] until you find a woman who comes
and looks into your car a few times. Soon after she has
done this, she will get into the car with you. Drive on
to some grass, and stop the car. The car will rock, you
will get health [up to 125] and you will lose money.

submitted by j5

Collect 10 hidden packages and the pistol will be spawned to hideout.
Collect them 20 and the uzi will be spawned to to hideout. This can
save LOTS of money.You can collect it 2 times. Trick is: pick it up,
go to house, and then, when it ask to save game, say cancel, and pistol
is again spawned. You can't repeat this 'cuz the weapon won't spawn again
until you are busted/wasted, and you lose weapons. Then it will spawn again
and you can repeat trick.

Get a taxi. Select the taxi driver mission. Complete 1st fare AND, wait!

second! Now you gotta unlimited time for all next fares. Trick is over
when you cancel taxi driver mission or exit taxi vehicle. Thing is really
hard to do, but once you did it, all will be easy.

More cars in Garage:
--------------------
You can fit more than two cars in your hideout's garge than you are
supposed to. In the second district the garage should only hold two
cars, but you would be able to fit four in, five if they are small cars.

Park the first two cars beside each other next to the wall then park each
car after that in front of the door, get out of the car and the door will
open then quickly drive the extra cars in before the garage door shuts,
therefore you can save all the cars in the garage.

Make you own radio Station:
---------------------------
You can copy some of your Mp3 music into the "mp3" folder found in the
game directory. now when you start the game you will have a new radio
station called "mp3 player" which playes your music.

Free car repair:
----------------
You can have any car you want repaired for free, if your favourite car is
looking a bit worse for ware after that cop chase, just drive to your
hideout and place the car in your garage, get out and let the door close,
then step foreward to open the garage door again, and hey presto! a brand
new car (it's even been polished). This can only be done when you're not
on a mission.

If you have any difficulties jumping the 2nd bridge to the 3rd island,
get a fast car like the banshee or infurnus and dont put any flying cheat

of the bridge and once you get there just before you fall into the water
press (Esc) quickly, and when your in the game menu type in CHITTYCHITTYBB
and keep your hand on accelerate and press (Esc) to go back to the game and
watch your car fly like a rocket.

If you have any difficulties trying to get the DODO flying take it to the
take off road, keep your hand Num 6 to turn the turret down and drive on
the road. Once you see sparkes let go of NUM 6 but press it every 2secs to
keep the DODO balanced. (My best time is 11mins and 36secs) try beat that.

Submitted by: Big Kausik

Easy Tank Money:
----------------
Get 2 tanks, anyway you want to, and then simple ram one tank with
another, your funds will go through the roof.

How to Fly the Tank:
--------------------
This might sound absurd, but it works. First enter the code to get
a Tank, then enter the "Fly With Cars" cheat (codes page). Get into
your Tank, turn the turret 180 degrees so it's pointing backwards
and start firing the cannon rapidly. Continue doing this until you
gain altitude. To turn, just turn the turret slightly. Avoid the
tall buildings and you'll do just fine!

Lightless Taxi:
---------------
The lightless taxi can only be caught after saving/loading, it is
a glitch where the game doesn't load all items. And you save the
game with the taxi lightless so it stays like that. This theory
makes it POSSIBLE to get a lightless cop car!

BulletProof Barracks OL:
------------------------
This vehicle can be obtained when playing the "Arms Shortage" mission
from Ray. During the mission, the vehicle will be BP. It will be normal
before and after the mission.

BulletProof/ExplosionProof/Fla... Bobcat:
------------------------------...
This vehicle can be obtained in the "Evidence Dash" mission from Ray.
During the mission, the Bobcat that has the mission packages is BP/EP/FP.
Flip the Bobcat over then push it to your hideout. Don't worry about
the rest of the packages, as the game will generate another bobcat in town.

BulletProof/ExplosionProof/Fla... Cheetah:
------------------------------...
This vehicle can be obtained in the "Turismo" mission from El Burro.
During the race, flip over one of the cheetahs than push it to your
garage. Do not let it out of your sight, and wait until the turismo
mission has finished.

BulletProof Patriot:
--------------------
This vehicle can be obtained after completing the "Marked Man" mission
from Ray.

BulletProof Securicar, ExplosionProof Securicar:
------------------------------...
You can obtain a BP securicar in the "Van Heist" mission from Joey Leone.
After damaging the vehicle, drive it to your hideout, and blow it up in
your garage.
You can obtain an EP securicar in the "Escort Service" mission from
Donald Love. Shoot the vehicle to blow it up, then push it to your garage.

BulletProof/DamageProof/Explos... Stetch:
------------------------------...
This vehicle can be obtained in the "Salvatores called a meeting" mission
from Toni. Once you visit Toni, head to Joeys but DON'T go into the blue
field. Instead, park a vehicle near the wall on the side of the building,
then enter the speed-up cheat code, then run between the vehicle and the
wall, this will cause you to walk-through the wall. Then enter the
Stretch and backup into the blue field, the vehicle will regenerate.
Afterwards, drive it to your Staunton hideout by flying over the Callahan
bridge (using the dodo physics code). Head to 8-Ball's bombshop, rig the
car with a timer bomb, then activate the car-bomb in your garage and
leave, don't let the door shut! After the vehicle explodes, walk out
letting the door shut, so the vehicle regenerates.

Secret Speeder:
---------------
Go to the airport, and go/drive down the runway that the planes don't
use until you get to the cliff, drop down the cliff, and there you have
it - a speeder (Warning, you will lose 3 points falling down).

Easy Way To Evade The Police:
-----------------------------
Here's a simple way to get the law off your tail. Do a lot of vigilante
missions until you get like 1 or 2 police bribes in your safe house, now
if you're fast enough, you'll get there before they get you.

Respawning Weapons & Items:
---------------------------
If you need more weapons or something extra that can respawn (like the
weapons, health powerups, etc.), pick them up and go into your garage
on foot and run up to the back wall. Once you do this all the items you
should have picked will respawn and you can pick them up again. Do this
as many times as needed.

In Staunton Island, in a mission called "A Drop In The Ocean",
you have to collect 6 packages dropped by the plane in the sea
near Yakuza's house. When you collect all 6 packages, stop the
boat, leave the steering wheel, and shoot at the moon...!!! The
moon (which is bigger than the normal) will become smaller...!!!
You can try this many times...!!!

In staunton island, you can find a car (i don't remember well the
car's name, it was something like "Yurt", usually driven by the
colombians and has leopard seats!!!) which can hop!!! Just get in

to make the car hop high!!!

1. Do not go to the pay&spray garage for repair if you are riding a cop car
or cop van. They will be too afraid to service it. Instead, use your garage
for repairing (park in your garage, let the door close & open).

2. When you find secret packages in multiples of 10, you get weapons
delivered at your door-step. The order is as follows:
10 sec. packs - Pistol
20 " " - Uzi
30 " " - Grenade
40 " " - Shotgun
I haven't found more packages to find out what the rest are. You might-
Good Luck!

3. Steal cop car, cop van, tank, fire engine or ambulance and press 'Num +'
key to activate special missions. Complete multiples of 5 consecutive
missions to get special bonuses!

4. Locations of some cars throughout Liberty city:
a. Banshee: Near 8-ball's place in Portland- inside the glass
showroom. (There is also a secret package nearby.)
b. Mafia Sentinel: In front of Salvatore's House. You can
find two of them any time.
c. BF Injection: In front of Maria's apartment after Whacking
Salvatore, after 19:00.

5. Wanted Level 5 gets activated only after getting to 2nd island, and Level
6 after 3rd. (Even MOREPOLICEPLEASE will not override this.)

6. Go to crevices in buildings to find secret packets, if you want to play
fair. of course, you don't need to, if you use the GUNSGUNSGUNS cheat to get
weapons.

7. There is a payphone near Joey's place where you can find more missions.
(It doesn't show up in the map.)

8. Do not save the game after you have activated the cheat in which people
fight each other. If you do, you'll never be able to walk safely anywhere
outside your car.

9. Don't use the tank cheat when you are in a car. The tank will appear on
top the car, causing it to explode!

10. Worst cars to ride when speed is a factor for you:
a. Stallion (also Diablo Stallion)
b. Idaho
c. Perennial

CAPS LOCK. Still holding CAPS LOCK, get out of the taxi and get in the car you
started with. Let go of the CAPS LOCK key and now you can do taxi missions in
that car.

Easy Fire Truck Missions

Steal a fire truck and begin the Firefighter mode. When you are assigned a new
fire to put out, press F1 to start a replay, then F1 again to cancel it. The
fire will be immediately extinguished.

Easy Vigilante Missions
-----------------------
When in a police car, enforcer, fbi car, or rhino, start the vigilante missions.
Drive close to the target vehicle, and press ESC to call up the options menu.
Choose 'Resume Game', and when the game resumes, your target will stop his/her
vehicle and get out, making them much easier to kill.

Tip for Entering Codes
----------------------
Codes can still be entered while the game is paused (at the menu screen).
Hit Esc to pause the game, then type the codes desired. The codes' effects
will take place once you unpause. This trick does work for entering multiple
codes at once, and is especially useful when you must enter codes quickly

Fun thing to do when you've completed the game:
------------------------------...
Submitted by: sun_walka

In GTA3, when you shoot other peoples cars, they speed off in a terrific panic.
This can be used to your advantage. It's easy, just hop onto the roof of a passing
car and fire a few shots into it. The reaction of the driver will be sure to propel
you to safety as and when needed.

Don't bother hi-jacking a car when in danger, just make sure you get on a car roof
and presto, the cops can't catch you up there! Plus, riding around town on another
person's speeding car makes for a great mobile turret, it's great fun, trust me, lol,
the things that occur when you're riding the roofs of other peoples cars are just hillarious!

on the main road because subways are also closed. So stand in front of a
running train in the middle of the track and let the train go over you.
