Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Appendices/PC Cheats

EdisonCarter once again used his cheat-finding methods to crawl his way through the game finding cheats by choosing the closest path as well as textdumping from possible cheat keywords.

These cheats were taken from GTASanAndreas.net's news report, EdisonCarter's updated cheat list, the forum thread where on-the-spot discoveries are made and findings announced.

These are both intelligible-word and button-press cheats. As more are discovered they will be added here and their unintelligible button-combo equivalent will be removed from the list below. All these cheats will still work in the meantime.

Cheats in italics have no word-based equivalent (so far) and have not been tested.

According to EdisonCarter's findings, the following cheats were not implemented in the PC version:
 * Drive On Water
 * Do Nothing
 * Hookers Pay You

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Big Smoke

Prerequisites
Location: CJ's house, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
Unlike previous games in the Grand Theft Auto series, this first mission can actually be quite tricky, since it is quite possible to die, if you are not careful.

During the cutscene, you go with Big Smoke to the graveyard where you meet your sister, Kendl and your brother, Sweet. As you are leaving, you are attacked by the Ballas (a sworn enemy gang).

When you regain control, hop on the BMX marked with a blue arrow (you have to use this vehicle), and keep close to Sweet. The Ballas will try to shoot you as you are cycling, but should you have acquired a sufficient amount of firepower, you can destroy the enemy car. You cannot pull the Ballas out of the car by attempting to jack the vehicle.

Eventually you will stop in a clearing under the Mulholland Intersection, and Sweet will split from you to draw away the Ballas. Follow Ryder back to your house to complete the mission. Don't worry if you fall behind; he will wait for you until you catch up. You fail this mission if you get Wasted, or somehow trash your BMX (e.g. by cycling it into water).

Rewards

 * Respect: +3
 * Your house now becomes a safehouse (i.e. you can save the game there).
 * Camera (with 50 exposures) spawns in CJ's house.

New Missions Available

 * Ryder


text:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Ryder

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Big Smoke
 * Location: Ryder's house, Grove Street, tanton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
After the cutscene, get into Ryder's Picador car, and drive him to Reece's Barbershop. Walk into the yellow marker to enter the shop. Once you're inside, walk in to the red marker to sit in the chair.

At this point, should you have less than $52, you will magically receive an additional $52. You must buy a haircut to continue. If you can afford it, choose the 'Cornrow', since this is the best cut you can get. See also: Appearance.

Upon leaving the shop, Ryder will comment on whether or not your new haircut is any good. For example, picking 'Cornrow' will get you a good comment, picking 'High Fade' will get you a bad one. After this, head over across the street into Well Stacked Pizza. Once inside, head into the red marker.

At this point, you must have at least $2 left, and you must buy something to continue. When you have eaten as much as you like, press triangle to cease your transaction with the cashier. A cutscene plays of Ryder attempting to rob the store, words are exchanged and the cashier pulls out a shotgun.

Upon leaving the shop, the cashier will follow you out, and start shooting you with the shotgun, so either kill him to get a free shotgun (containing about 7 shells), or head quickly back into your car and drive off. Now drive Ryder home to complete the mission.

Rewards

 * Respect: +3

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Cleaning the Hood

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Tagging up Turf
 * Location: Sweet's House, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
After the cutscene, get in the car where available, and drive Ryder to B-Dup's apartment to trigger the next cutscene. After that, drive over to the crack-dealer, kill him and take the bat. Then drive over to the crack-den down the block, and prepare to see some crackheads and even a blowjob happening in the corner. Now beat everyone in the room up; if you have a gun, use that. Careful though, the man with the bat is also quite powerful, so kill him first.

Also, if you wish, search through the house and kill everyone in it. Most are so stoned they won't even defend themselves, and a single blow will take them out. However they don't seem to give any cash when killed (spent it all on the drugs perhaps).

After this drive Ryder home to complete the mission.

Rewards

 * Respect: +3
 * Item: Baseball Bat

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Drive-thru

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Cleaning the Hood
 * Location: Sweet's house, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
Smoke's hungry, so the Grove decides to head out to get some food. After the cutscene, drive to the Cluckin' Bell, and into the red marker to trigger the next cutscene, which truly demonstrates the extent of Smoke's gluttony. After this, Ryder scopes out a Balla ride, and sees that they're planning a hit.

If the Balla car makes it back to Grove Street, you fail the mission, so quickly smash the Balla car into a wall and let your people do the work. They have such bad aiming, it almost seems as if the Balla car is bulletproof. However, if you have an SMG, Micro-SMG or Tec9, you can help them out by performing a drive-by. Eventually, the car will be on fire, and you can watch the Ballas die when the car explodes. If they haven't died, hop out your car and blast on fools, or just run them down.

Once the Ballas are all dead, drive back to Sweet's house, and then on to Smoke's house to complete the mission.

Rewards

 * Cash: $200
 * Respect: +5
 * Los Santos Gym opens.

New Missions Available

 * Nines and AK's

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Tagging up Turf

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Ryder
 * Location: Sweet's House, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
After the cutscene, if you have already sprayed over any of the six tags you will spray during this mission, they will no longer be sprayed over.

Assuming you have enough respect, it might be worth recruiting one or two Grove Street Families (GSF) members (dressed in green) to take with you. To recruit one, target them using the R1 button, then press either the up or down button on the D-Pad. Once you have created your gang, you can then tap up or down while on foot to get the gang to follow you or stay put respectively. To disband your gang, press and hold either up or down until they walk away.

This mission introduces you to spray painting or basically tagging up turf. Get into Sweet's Greenwood car and drive to the first tag, Sweet will tag this one to show you an example, then he'll do some more elsewhere. The rest is fairly simple, just follow the instructions and look on the radar.

Rewards

 * Cash: $200
 * Respect: +3 (also +5% per tag)
 * Item: Spray Can (1000 capacity)
 * Spray Can (1000 capacity) spawns in CJ's house.

New Missions Available

Barbers
Barber cuts and prices

Tattoos
Tattoos can be used to customise CJ's body and also make him gain more respect and admiration from those around him.

"Lost" Tattoos
The following tattoos were thought to be cut from the game, possibly because of their heavy drug and religious orientation. Except for the pistol, they can be found at Hemlock Tattoos in Hashbury.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/In the beginning

Prerequisites
None

Introduction
This is not technically a mission, since it doesn't bring you any reward, but rather refers to the events which occur upon starting a new game, but prior to triggering the first real mission. In the beginning is the name used for the savegame slot if you manage to save the game during this period; interestingly, these are also the first three words of the bible.

Walkthrough
You start in Jefferson with very little to show for yourself, although contrary to the preceding dialogue, Tenpenny doesn't take all of your money, but, in fact, you start with $350. Since this is not really a mission, you have a choice as to what to do next.

There is nowhere you can currently save your game, but if you can scrape together at least $10,000, you can buy one of the safehouses, and save there. Some people like to do this to create a useful save game, which they can use to max out their stats, or complete other tedious missions (particularly spraying all 100 Gang Tags), before even starting the first mission. This way, if they should decide to play the game again from the beginning, they won't have to endure all the tedium again.

Alternatively, if you pass the first real mission you get a free safehouse to save at. To start this mission, you need to get to your house, which is marked with a "CJ" icon. Since this is the first interactive part of the game, I will describe a route to take to trigger the mission, but not with subsequent missions.

 * 1) Either get on the BMX bike marked with a blue arrow, or if you prefer, you can use another vehicle instead. Either way, I'm assuming you start from the location of the bike.
 * 2) Turn right out of the alley, and continue to the end of the road.
 * 3) Turn left here, then take the first right.
 * 4) Continue on this road until you cross over the freeway, then take the first left on to Grove Street.
 * 5) Continue along here until you see the red marker. This is your house. Put your vehicle in the attached garage if you want to keep it.

New Missions Available

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Appendices/100% Completion Guide

This guide will help you reach 100% completion, although, ironically, this doesn't necessarily mean you have completed everything the game has to offer.

Things not required for 100% completion

 * Additional Burglary missions besides Home Invasion
 * Additional Lowrider competitions besides Cesar Vialpando
 * Yay Courier missions
 * 2-player missions (including rampages)

Rewards for 100% completion

 * Infinite ammo
 * All vehicles you drive have 200% health
 * Hydra spawns on the roof of Sweet's house
 * Rhino spawns near the bridge in Grove Street

Common problems
'''I'm stuck at 99.47% and I have no idea what I'm missing. Any hints?'''

Go through the above checklist and recheck every single thing against your stats. Make sure they match. Every item on the list will appear somewhere in your stats, with the following exceptions:

 * The 3 Chiliad Challenges
 * The Fighting Moves learned at the 3 gyms

Another thing that doesn't show up in your stats is whether you've completely sprayed all tags. There's a bug where you will not get percentage for a tag if you don't hear the noise after spraying it, even if the message pops up saying you did. The tag will be added to your stats if you get the message, but you must completely spray each tag (until you can't target it anymore) to get the percentage.

Go back and recheck these three things, or anything else that you can't find in your stats. DO NOT rely on your memory for these, because you may have forgotten to save, or you only think you actually did something. Actually check each item yourself, or redo a mission or challenge just to be sure. It'll save you lots of grief in the end if you do that.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Basics/Stats

Stat Changes
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has significantly more stats than Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The community is divided on if these changes increase game realism, or if it makes the game more irritating. people like it, claiming it makes the game more 'realistic'. Others suggest it's merely 'irritating'. For better or worse, there's quite a lot of them to cope with, so here's a guide to how some of them work.

On-screen Stats
These stats are usually visible in the top-right corner of the screen. They consist of:

Current Weapon
This is a white icon representing the currently armed weapon (or other item). There are twelve different potential weapon 'slots', which are cycled using the L2 and R2 buttons on a PS2 controller.

See also: Items

Time
This is some white text indicating current game time. Note that one game second is approximately equal to one minute of real time.

Armor
This is a white bar to indicate the amount of protection currently being offered by whatever body armor you happen to be wearing. If you have no armor, this bar will not be visible at all.

Oxygen
This is a blue bar ( light grey on PC and Xbox) to indicate how much longer you can hold his breath for, when swimming underwater. If you are not in the water, and the value of this stat is at its maximum, then this bar will not be visible at all. When not swimming it will stay visible until it refills, even if you are on land and doing other things where your breath is not immediately necessary.

Health
This is a red bar indicating amount of energy you have remaining. When this is depleted, you are 'Wasted'.

This is set to its maximum value each time you save the game. Other ways to increase the value are:

 * Eating meals. Note that some meals also increase your Fat).
 * Collecting the red heart icons.

Certain events in the game increase the maximum value of your health, such as: e
 * Exercising outside of the gym.
 * Not being wasted for lengthy periods of time.
 * Not being busted for lengthy periods of time.

Maximum health will decrease if you die frequently.

Cash
This is some green text indicating amount of cash you have remaining. This count can turn into a red bar if you have negative money.

Wanted Level
This is a number of gold stars indicating how much effort the law will devote to stopping you. If you are not wanted at all, this will not be visible. Possible values are:

 * No stars: You've done nothing wrong. Relax.
 * One star: Police officers will chase you on foot, and a police car or bike might join the chase if they happen to spot you. Fairly easy to avoid, and hiding out for a while will cause this to disappear eventually.
 * Two stars: Police cars and bikes will now seemingly appear out of nowhere, and join the chase. Still not too much of a problem, but you might want to get to a Pay N Spray.
 * Three stars: Police helicopters will join the chase, firing at you whenever possible. They're generally not too accurate, but be careful.
 * Four stars: Police SWAT teams will join the chase. They are armed with sub-machine guns, so watch out. If you are in flight, you will be chased by Hydra planes.
 * Five stars: The FBI joins in. They are armed with MP5s.
 * Six stars: The Army joins in, with tanks and soldiers armed with M4s.

To increase your wanted level, commit any of the following crimes:

 * Assault
 * Murder
 * Destruction of vehicles, especially by shooting the gas tank
 * Collision with a police vehicle
 * Entering a restricted area: (Warning: wanted level increases to 5 stars)
 * Area 69, Bone County
 * Easter Basin Naval Base
 * Going to an Area that has not been "unlocked": (Automatic 4 stars. Bribes/Pay n Spray don't work unless you go back)
 * Spraying over a spray tag with police nearby
 * Pointing a gun in a police officer's face
 * Carjacking
 * Stealing a car off a parking spot (sometimes)

These crimes will not increase your wanted level:

 * Speeding
 * Running a red light
 * Dangerous driving
 * Collision with a non-police vehicle
 * Soliciting prostitutes

To decrease your wanted level, visit a Pay N Spray or save the game. When respraying at a pay n spray, the wanted level will flash for a while. During that time, if you commit a crime, the full wanted level is brought back. If you only have one or two stars, you can lose stars by "hiding out" from the police by staying in an area away from cops and any roads. Swimming is a good way to do this. Saving the game removes the wanted level completely.

Going to your wardrobe and changing your clothes has the same effect as visiting a Pay N Spray, but is free.

L1 Stats
These stats become visible in the bottom-left corner of the screen, as long as you depress the L1 button. These are:

Respect
This is a measure of your Total Respect.

See also: Respect

Weapon Skill
This is a measure of your weapon skill for the currently held weapon. This is not visible in the L1 stats if your currently selected weapon or item does not have a corresponding Weapon Skill Level stat.

Stamina
This is a measure of CJ's ability to perform sustained amounts of physical activity. As this increases, it allows you to sprint longer, pump the pedals for longer on your bicycle, and swim swiftly for longer periods of time.

To increase stamina, try sprinting, swimming, cycling, or using the exercise bike or treadmill at a gym.

Stamina never decreases.

Muscle
This is a measure of the amount of muscle you have. Muscle increases sex appeal and makes melee attacks more powerful. Build up by doing vigorous physical activities or by lifting weights in the gym rather than driving. Running for extended periods of time will cause you to lose muscle.

Fat
This is a measure of the amount of body fat that CJ currently has. There are no major penalties for having no fat, but having a large amount of fat can prevent you from doing certain activities, and triggering certain missions.

To increase fat, eat any meal from a fast-food establishment (Cluckin' Bell, Burger Shot, Well Stacked Pizza), except for the salad meals. You also gain fat by going on a date in a bar or restaurant.

Your fat level will automatically decrease over time. To speed up the process, try sprinting, swimming, cycling, or using the exercise bike or treadmill at a gym.

Contrary to popular belief, you can gain fat from eating from vending machines, but the amounts are hardly noticeable. Spending $50 on a vending machine will add only about 10% of fat. It is not certain whether the same applies for street vendors.

See also: Eating @ The GTA Place

Sex Appeal
Sex appeal is decided on what type of car you have, which would include fast and flashy cars, the clothes you have, and the amount of muscle. Note, however, that high muscle will prevent some girls from dating you at all.

The sex appeal boost gained from having a flashy car will drop off once you have walked more than a certain distance away from the car. Also, if your car is damaged, that will affect its "sexiness".

These are accessible by pressing the Start button, then selecting the Stats page. These are:

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Gang Tags

Tags are used by gangs to signify their presence. CJ can cover enemy gang's tags with his own, as long as he has a spray can.

In total there are one hundred tags in Los Santos. As a step to 100% completion you must cover these tags. To spray over them you must target them with R1 and the spray your spray can with the circle button. Extra spraycans can be found in CJ's house and on the roof of the pawn shop behind CJ's house.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/8-Track

At the Los Santos Stadium, just south-east to your house, there is a 12-lap race. You use a Hotring Racer, racing against other Hotring Racers, and if you win, you earn some cash and a Monster and Hotring Racer spawn outside the stadium, a nice bonus for a difficult mission.

Tips: This race requires some good driving skill, and a bit of luck. Try pulling P.I.T. manourevers and feel free to shoot the other cars if you need to. Destroying other cars does not take them out of the race. They will respawn at the "pit" near the starting line.


text:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/BMX

Tips for 3 difficult coronas:

1. Suspended in Middle of Cement Half-pipe: Before you pick up the BMX bike, go get a Packer truck(they are usually a few on the southern dock). When you get it, park it to the east of the lower pipe with the ramp end of the packer facing the pipes center. If you get to the top of the hill, you should be able to speed down it, and have time to hop through the circle. An alternative method is to come at the pipe at an angle, ride the bike up the side, and then bunny hop. This will push you out into the middle of the half-pipe and can grab you the corona without a car.

2. On Platform Attached to Half Pipe:When you go up the half-pipe, your front wheel will often make it over the edge, while the rest of your bike falls back down the half-pipe. To fix this, when you run up the ramp, do a 90 degree turn in midair so that both wheels are parallel to the edge of the pipe when you land. Then just be careful you don't fall back off as you make the turn to get to the corona.

3. Extra High Corona in the Stack of Two: Straight bunny hopping didn't seem to get to this, and almost certainly won't if you biking skill is too low. Instead, you can grab a car, park it underneath this corona. This way you can hop on the car and easily hop on up to the corona.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Cesar Vialpando

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Drive-By
 * Location: Sweet's house, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
Go to the garage on the map, look at the expensive mods that you can add to any 7 lowriders in the game (Blade, Broadway, Remington, Savanna, Slamvan, Tornado and Voodoo). Head over to the lowriding competition and place your bet. I suggest betting $1000 because the beat is slow, and then your competition really sucks. He should be 100 points down from you most of the time. The idea is to 'bounce' your lowrider in time to the music in the direction indicated. On the PS2, use the right analog stick. On the PC, use the arrows on the numberpad (see below). Just follow the rhythm and controls. When that's done, watch the cutscene.

Tips
Controls for PC keyboard:

4+8 8 8+6  \ | / 4 - * - 6   / | \ 4+2 2 2+6

If you are running the game on a relatively slow computer (PC-version) and have a hard time completing this mission, then try to set the mission in a lower resolution. This makes it easier to hit the arrows right.

Rewards

 * Cash: Whatever you bet
 * Low Loco Co and Transfender mod garages now open

New Missions Available

 * Doberman (also requires: Burning Desire)
 * High Stakes, Low-rider

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Los Santos Courier

Get on the BMX bike to start the mission. You are given a set of packages and a set of targets to "deliver" them to. Each target is a corona and you deliver the package the same way you would do a drive-by maneuver. With each level your time limit increases as does the distance between targets.

 * Level 1: three deliveries, six packages
 * Level 2: four deliveries, six packages
 * Level 3: five deliveries, seven packages
 * Level 4: six deliveries, eight packages.

Tips
You have some extra packages so you can miss a few shots without having to return to the Food Mart. Alternatively you can run over a thrown-and-missed package to pick it up and deliver it again. Be quick though, as they disappear after a short while.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/High Stakes, Low-rider

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Cesar Vialpando
 * Location: Cesar's house, El Corona, Los Santos
 * Vehicle: Lowrider (Blade, Broadway, Remington, Savanna, Slamvan, Tornado, or Voodoo)

Walkthrough
During this mission, you're introduced to street racing, only this time, it's with a LOWRIDER. This mission might be difficult for some and easier for other because they can control lowriders. First off, get a lowrider, you have NO EXCUSE FOR NOT FINDING ONE (A Broadway seems to be the best handling and you need to learn to drive it for the pimping missions anyway). Meet Cesar, follow him and get into the red circle. Power through the beginning and keep working at it. You want to floor it on the three main straightaways and take it really slow during the turn section. If you fail, keep trying.

You can also modify your car before the race (go to the wrench symbol on your map). If you equip the car with nitros, this mission becomes rather easy.

Rewards

 * Cash: $1000

New Missions Available

 * Reuniting the Families (also requires Gray Imports, Los Sepulcros, Robbing Uncle Sam, Just Business, House Party)

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Missions/Burning Desire

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Madd Dogg's Rhymes
 * Location: Jim's Sticky Ring donut shop, Market, Los Santos

Walkthrough
After the cutscene, run down to the alley marked on the map and pick up a few molotovs. Once you've done that, you drive over to Vagos House and light it up. Before that though, shoot the Vagos standing around and the Vagos in the surrounding area and then torch the place by tossing a molotov in through the windows. The mission is made VERY EASY if you've done the 12 Levels of Firefighter R3 Missions. Anyway, upon torching the place, you discover that someone's inside. You get to run inside and save her.

Go to the kitchen and pick up the extinguisher (or if you're fireproof, run upstairs). Next navigate your way to the end of the first floor and go up the stairs and make your way to the far room where you saw the girl. Use the extinguisher by aiming for the base of the fire to put it out. Once you get the girl, the house starts falling apart. Make your way through the adjoining rooms to get around any obstacles, putting out fires in your way as necessary. Upon getting outside you get to take Denise home.

Rewards

 * Girlfriend: Denise Robinson

New Missions Available

 * Gray Imports
 * Doberman (also requires: Cesar Vialpando)
