Two player mode
PlayStation2 Successfully complete the Burning Desire mission where you rescue Denise. A red two player free roam icon will now appear on Denise's porch near the door. The icon will appear there when she is home and will go on a date. Stand on the icon and press Start on controller two to activate the icon. Note: If both enter a car, the passenger will have free aim with a machine gun.
Note: Do not try to kill Denise, as you will never be able to
date her again or play in two-player mode at her house.
Once you get your girlfriend, take her on a date. After you drop
her off, there will be a rotating icon of two people directly
in front of the door. Walk into it. It will tell you to push any
button on the controller two. Do so to start two player mode,
involving CJ and his girlfriend in a free roam.
For more fun in two player mode, start the two player mission.
Then, enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code and press Triangle
to remove the Jetpack. Then, have player two get the Jetpack.
Enable the Jetpack code again, then have player one get it. Both
players can now fly around and do the two player missions this
way.

drive different boats. Go to The Mako Span in two player mode.
Both players can race different boats.
Lock two player mode camera view
PlayStation2 After two player mode is activated, press Select
to lock the view to either player.

Increase muscle or stamina
At about 22:00, go to a gym and work out, maxing yourself.
After you have worked out enough for the day, wait another minute
until the time is 0:00. Max yourself out for that day then go
home. Save two or three times and you can repeat this process.
To get your character maxed out in the muscle and stamina attributes,
do the following. Go the gym near the Johnson house. Work out
until you are told that it is enough for one day. Go home (right
down the block), save the game to advance to the next day. Return
to the gym and you can work out again. You can now max out your
muscle and stamina in less then a half hour.
PlayStation2 Note: This trick requires a controller with a turbo feature. Go
to a gym or Madd Dogg's mansion. Get on the treadmill and set
it to level 7, 8, or 9. Enable the turbo feature and just hold
X instead of tapping it. Your stamina will increase easily.
You can also do this with weights, but you will have to tap Circle
and X a little bit.
Increase bike skill
PlayStation2 Enable the "Massive bunny hops" code. Keep
jumping very high by holding L1 for a long time. As you
jump, do some flips (backwards or any funny stunt) and land perfectly.
You will then receive a unique stunt award or an insane stunt
award and your skill will increase. To do this perfectly without
falling while doing the stunts, use the "Never fall off your
bike" glitch. Get some speed, jump as high as possible, do
stunts, and do not fall. This will increase CJ's bike skill.
Increase driving skill
Go to San Fierro and pass the tests at the driving school.
Find a tractor or a slow moving car. Drive the roads without going
as fast as you can (move slowly). This will take awhile, but will
increase your driving skills.
Increase underwater skill
Repeatedly swim underwater to increase your lung capacity and your underwater skill.
Increase weapon skill
Achieve a high wanted level and go into a restaurant.
Shoot everyone with the weapon that you want to raise in rank.
If you walk around and wait, police will spawn, but will not shoot
you. Police can raise your weapon skill faster than pedestrians.
This works best in Burger Shot because of the wide area that you
can walk around in. Continue until you reach Hitman status.
Use the following trick in front of any safe house. Use the gun
you want to get up to Hitman status to repeatedly shoot a car
until it explodes. Then, go to the next car. Repeat this until
you reach Hitman status for that weapon. Watch out for the police.
You can shoot them, then keep shooting the cars. When you are
almost dead, enter your safe house and save the game. Your health
will be restored and wanted level removed.
To attain Hitman level quicker, select your desired weapon and
go to a Pay 'N' Spray. Park your vehicle directly next to the
Pay 'N' Spray. Exit the vehicle and repeatedly shoot people, cars,
and cops. When your wanted level is raised to two stars or above,
run to your vehicle and drive into the Pay 'N' Spray to cancel
it. If your vehicle is not damaged, the respray is free. Wait
for the wanted stars to stop flashing, then start shooting people
again.
Get lots of bullets for the guns that you want Hitman or Gangster
status for. Go to Tierra Robada. Look around at the north of the
island to find a little house. Stay in there and enable the "Increase
wanted level" code three times. Stay in the cabin and wait
for the police to approach. When they enter the house, kill them.
Go into a police station and find a room with one entry point,
and something that you can hide behind (like a desk). Take out
your weapon. You should now have a two star wanted level. Shoot
any cop who comes through the door. Every cop you shoot makes
your gun skill go up by about five. Do this until you either die,
run out of bullets, or enable the "Lower wanted level"
code.
Easy Pilot license
Go to the airport in San Fierro and enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. Enter the Shamel jet and enable the "Speed up time" code. Fly it until a message appears in the corner. Fly it for about five or ten more minutes and you will have a pilot license without going to pilot school. Note: Make sure you save the game.
Pass license tests easily
Repeatedly fail the License Tests. Eventually Goya
will allow you to pass the tests anyway, due to your enthusiasm.
Lose weight quickly
If you want to lose weight quickly, enable the "Speed
up time" code.
Stay underwater forever
Dive underwater, and once your breath is out, you will
start losing health. If you want to stay underwater, keep enabling
the "Armor, health, money, and street creds" code when
your health is low. You will be able to remain underwater, and
max your Lung Capacity attribute easily.
Jump into deep water. Swim underwater to a decent depth. While
underwater, enable the "Maximum lung capacity" code.
You will notice that your lung capacity is full and will stay
full. This may require a few attempts. Try driving a Rhino tank
into the water and wait for it to sink to the bottom. You can
drive the tank and even shoot the boats that are on top of the
water.
Restore breath faster
When you are swimming and are about to run out of breath,
return to the surface. Keep jumping up and down with Square.
Your breath meter will refill faster.
Raising stats quicker
Go to any pier over any body of water. Swim under the
pier and stay in one position. This will immensely raise your
muscle, stamina, and lung capacity in just under a minute. Stay
under longer for better results.
Survive high falls
Max out your health bar and get full armor. Go to a
high building, such as the one in the Downtown area of Los Santos.
Get on the roof and jump off without a parachute in your inventory.
When you hit the ground, you will lose most of your life, but
still have a small amount remaining. Note: If you have a parachute
in your inventory, you will die when you hit the ground.
PlayStation2 Repeatedly tap Square as CJ is falling to take less damage when he hits the ground.
PlayStation2 If you accidentally fall off a very high building, enable the
"Spawn parachute" code. Press Circle to pop the
parachute and you will drift safely down to the ground.
Travis
Kelly and
Return to land faster
If you get stuck in the water, enable the "Spawn
Hotring Racer" then "Spawn Jetpack" codes. It will
not appear until you are on a non watery surface. Quickly jump
on the car. It may be a far ride, but it is better than swimming.
Unlimited running boost
PlayStation2 Enable the "Spawn Jetpack" code. When you
have Jetpack on, take it off. Then, get about thirty feet behind
it so you have running distance. Run into it by using the running
boost (hold Left Analog-stick Up and keep tapping X).
Just before you run into the Jetpack, release X and keep
the Left Analog-stick in running position. This will give
you unlimited running boost until the Left Analog-stick
is released.
Run faster
To run faster, enable the "Spawn Jetpack"
PlayStation2 code. Then, hold X while pressing the Left Analog-stick
Forward. If done correctly, CJ will run faster than any car.
Descend quickly
When stuck at the top of a cliff or a mountain and
you need to go to the bottom, do not bother going the long way
around to get down safely. Instead, edge yourself to the end of
the cliff/ mountain and slowly but surely you will slide down
the side and land safely at the bottom.
Reload instantly
PlayStation2 When you need to reload quickly press L2 then
R2 or vice versa just before CJ runs out of ammo.
Skydiving
PlayStation2 Go to any airport. Look for a yellow arrow at the entrances
of the airport where you can buy a ticket to another city. Buy
the ticket and start the flight. Do not press X and skip
the flight. Wait for the airplane to take off and get high in
the air. Press Triangle and CJ will jump out of the airplane
with a parachute and begin skydiving. When you want to open the
parachute, press Circle and float down. There are also
other places you can skydive, such as the tall building in the
Downtown area Los Santos, and off the top of Mount Chiliad. ">(Screenshot)
To get a parachute very easily, get into any type of flying vehicle,
except the Jetpack. You will instantly receive a parachute. If
you fly high into the air, then jump out of your plane or helicopter,
the parachute will automatically be switched into your weapon
inventory.
Skydive longer
Enable the "Cars fly away" code. Go to any
airport and hit any aircraft. Then, enter that craft. All you
have to do is steer. Soon the height meter will just stay up.
You will get to fly higher than normal when you do this. Fly as
high as you desired, then Jump out for a long trip back to earth.
hotwing3.
Enable the "Flying cars" and "Cars fly away"
codes. Lightly tap a car to put it in the air . Quickly get out
of your car and into the one that is in the air. Then, accelerate
and you can drive as high as desired without stalling. While driving
up, enable the "Spawn parachute" code. Fly all the way
to the game's ceiling and jump out. You can do air tricks while
falling, like spinning around. It will be awhile until you even
begin to see the ground. Note: Sometimes while you are falling
and you open your parachute, a glitch will occur and you will
not have any control over where the parachute goes -- you will
die when you hit the ground, as if you did not even open it.
Enable the "Spawn Hunter", "Spawn Parachute",
and "Fast motion" codes. Get in the Hunter and go as
high as it will go. With the "Fast motion" code, this
should only take about thirty seconds. When at the top limit,
enter the "Fast motion" code again to deactivate its
effect. Begin your jump, let the parachute out, and land.
Unlock areas quickly
Enable the "Wanted level never increases"
code. Go to the shaded areas of the game and they will become
unlocked. If you go to a safe house and save the game, all areas
will be unlocked from now on. However, in order not to be wanted
when you go back into these areas, you must enable the "Wanted
level never increases" code again, but you will be free to
roam about.
Basketball Challenge mini-game
Go to one of the basketball courts that have full courts
and a chain link fence round them. One of the hoops will have
a basketball. Walk up to the basketball and press Triangle
to start playing. While playing basketball, press R3 to
start the Basketball Challenge mini-game. A red marker will appear
on the court. Run to the red marker and shoot the ball. If you
make the shot, the red marker will move to a new spot on the court.
The goal of the mini-game is to sink as many shots as you can
before time runs out. Each shot you make adds a few seconds on
to the clock. When time runs out, CJ will automatically resume
playing basketball. Your highest score will recorded and shown
the next time you play the Basketball Challenge mini-game.
Basketball tricks
PlayStation2 While playing basketball, press Circle to spin
the ball on your finger. Press Square to roll the ball
along your shoulders.
Dual weapons
Reach the "Hitman" rank in a weapon skill to be able to wield two of that weapon at once. To increase your weapon skill, practice at the shooting range or use that weapon frequently. You can dual wield pistols, the sawed off shotgun, Uzi, and Tek.
Double SMG ammunition
PlayStation2 Go into an Ammu-Nation and enter the shooting range.
Press Triangle as soon as it starts to exit the shooting
range. If you were carrying an SMG at the time, your ammunition
will have doubled. Repeat this trick to get as much as needed.
Easy shotgun
Find a police car. Force the cop out of his car, then
punch him until he dies and pick up his 9mm and nightstick. Get
into his car and drive about one block. Get out, and you should
have a regular shotgun and between 3 and 10 shells to fire. Note:
It is recommended that you do this near your homies so that the
Ballas will not kill you within the first few seconds.
Easy weapons
If you punch a prostitute, she may pull out a weapon
in order to fight you, which is typically either a knife or a
9mm pistol. When you kill her, you can take her knife or pistol
as well as her money. If you kill the prostitute without punching
her, you will just get her money and no weapons.
Infrared goggles
To get the infrared goggles, complete the storyline
missions. They will be available in front of the car under the
Big Ear, in the rear right corner of Zero's RC shop, and in the
low security tower in Area 69.
and
Nightvision goggles
To get the nightvision goggles, complete all parts
of Breaking The Bank at Caligulas. The goggles can then be found
in Madd Dogg's crib and at the southern-most point of San Fierro,
southwest of the airport near the entrance to the building that
appears to be blue with white circles by it on the map.
Stand over wheels
Get a or spawn Bloodring Racer. Then, enable the "Invisible
cars" code followed by the "All cars have nitrous"
code. Get in the car and enable the "Spawn Jetpack"
code. Go up in the air with the car and press Triangle.
It will appear as if CJ is standing over some wheels. Note: Also
try this with the Rhino tank.
Suicide bomber
Enable the "Weapon tier 3" code and then
select the bombs which are blown up by a detonator. Throw one
of them at someone, and it should stick to them. You can now blow
them up like a suicide bomber.
Cheap car bomb
Get a fast car or a motorcycle. Either shoot the vehicle
or bang it up real good. When it is on fire, press Triangle
to jump out. This technique is also good for taking over hoods
quickly and easily.
Bike bombing
Get a bicycle (BMX, mountain bike, etc.) and attach as many satchels as desired to it. Select the detonator switch form your inventory. Get on the bike and ride very fast towards a group of gang members or other target. While the bike is moving, jump off. The bike should continue towards the target. Once it gets there, blow it up. After any fires have gone out or any other dangers to CJ's health is gone, get back on the bike. Because the bike does not have a gas tank, engine, etc., it can be used numerous times as a bike bomb.
Reaching other cities early
Hijack the train. The easiest is when it is at one
of the stations. Then, drive it full speed to the bridges to the
other islands. You may need to use the entire city to pick up
enough speed. Also, you must be careful around sharp turns. The
train will de-rail. Note: This was done with the freight train.
When you approach the bridge at the edge of the city, you will
slow down, even if you are going very fast. The train will pass
through the barricade, as if it were a ghost. You will get a four
star wanted level. There is a police bribe on the train tracks
in the second city that you will pick up if you pass by it on
the train, but your wanted level will immediately jump back to
four stars. Also, the train is bullet proof. You cannot die from
bullets when inside the train.
PlayStation2 The following is a multi-step process which may take some time
to get correct. Get the parachute located on top of the very tall
building a few blocks from the police station in downtown Los
Santos. The building is shaped circular inside and "L"
shaped on your map. Walk around to the northeast corner of the
circular building and step into the yellow triangle to get the
parachute that is on the roof. Take it, and keep it (do not switch
to a weapon). Go back down and get armor from the police station.
It is nearby and has two sets. Do not draw a weapon in the station
or you will get a two star wanted level. Next, get the jet at
LSX, the airport at Los Santos. Drive up to the gate, climb up
on your car, and onto the guard booth, and climb over into the
airport. Walk back around to the gate. It will open, and you can
get your car and drive back in. Then, find the jet. It is called
the Shamal and is located at the end of the runway. Take off and
get some practice flying, diving, climbing, rolling, etc. Next,
choose a location on your map that you want to go. You can press
Circle on the map screen to pin that location on the radar.
For example, choose the Binco store in Las Venturas. It is next
to the Las Venturas airport and the highway. Once you pass the
city line, you will get four stars on your wanted meter. Because
you are in the air, they will try to shoot you down with missiles.
Notice the two red blips on your radar that are fast approaching.
Dive, climb, and roll and the missiles will miss. Do not forget
to keep your eye on your target. Once you are over your target
and are very high, press Triangle to exit the plane. You
will drop straight down. You must be high enough for your parachute
to open or you die when you hit the ground. When you are safely
on the ground, start running. If you chose to go to Binco or another
store, notice that you can go inside and buy clothes. If you buy
clothes, you will get rid of the four stars wanted level, as long
as you remain in the store. Once you step outside, the four stars
will return to your wanted meter.
Enable the "Drive on water" code or swim across the
ocean to where you want to go. You will automatically get a four
star wanted level when coming ashore in Las Ventruas and a five
star wanted level for coming ashore in San Fierro. These stars
will not go away with the "Lower wanted level" code,
but will disappear when you leave the city.
Allen
Gaiownik.
When in Los Santos, you will find that all bridges to the other
two regions will be blocked by blockades. Sometimes if you try
to go through the blockade at high speed with a fast vehicle,
it will go through and glitch, along with the AI vehicles that
are following.
Enable the "Wanted level never increases" and "Flying
car" codes. You can now go to all of San Andreas without
that four star wanted level appearing. Note: This will have to
be done again every time you load a saved game. Also, if you shoot
cops with the "Wanted level never increases" code enabled,
some cops will get out and walk away but others will fire their
guns at you.

Stealth kills
PlayStation2 With a knife, target a person and sneak up behind them.
Press Circle, and if they do not notice you, you will perform
an instant kill silently.
Manual aim with any weapon while driving
Enable the "Manual weapon drive bys in cars"
code and run out of bullets in your Uzi, Tec-9, or Micro SMG.
Get out of your vehicle, then select the weapon of your choice
(except grenades and rocket launchers). Get back into the vehicle
and enable any "Weapons" code. The crosshairs are back
on and you can shoot that weapon.
Keep weapons when dying
When the screen turns black after you are killed, quickly enable a "Weapons" code before you reappear in front of a hospital. You will have the same weapons as before your death.
Shoot rockets
If you are having trouble with people who fire with
rocket launchers (for example, the man on the roof in the Los
Desperados mission), try to shoot their rockets to protect yourself,
especially when you are sticking near a wall where the blast radius
is still near you. Use a shotgun, Desert Eagle or a combat shotgun
to take out the rockets easier. Note: This is exceptionally easier
at night, where rockets light up and can easily be seen. However,
rockets are exceptionally fast.
Destroying cars quickly
To quickly blow up cars, shoot the gas tank. This is
useful when killing a lot of people at once.
Destroying helicopters
If you have three stars or more and are under attack
by a helicopter, you can score a one hit kill against it with
a sniper rifle. If it is night time, the helicopter will shine
a bright flood light in your eyes. However, if you zoom in with
the rifle it will disappear. To take it down in one hit shoot
the helicopter in the small spinning object under the rotors,
or close to the base of the object. It will crash just as if you
had killed it with a rifle. It is easier to shoot them if you
are on top of a high building.
PlayStation2 When you have one or more police helicopters after you, take out
your satchel charges. Spawn a Jetpack, then fly up into the air.
Land on one of the helicopters. Press Triangle and get
rid of your jetpack. Stick a bomb to the top of the helicopter.
Then, jump off. Note: Having full health is necessary to survive.
Detonate the bomb, and watch the helicopter explode. Sometimes,
the helicopter that is exploding will take the other with it.
Car surfing
Hop on top of a car and fire your gun. When you fire
any gun, all the drivers around you will start driving wildly
to escape you, including the car that you are standing on. It
feels like as if you are on a roller coaster. Try it on the highway,
and try to pick off the cars around you. For even more fun, try
this game with the "Flying cars", "Sports car traffic",
or "Carnival theme" codes enabled.
Play pool for free
First, enter a bar, such as "The Green Bottle"
in the Ganton area of Los Santos. Find a pool table and wager
whatever desired. If you lose the game, just use the cue stick
to hit the person who just took your money to death. Then, pick
the money he drops, which may be slightly more than your bet.
,
,
and
PlayStation2 When you walk in the bar, either play a game of pool or just kill
the man standing there and take his pool stick. Square up with
the pool table and start pressing Circle. The pool balls
should move. If not, then square yourself with the pool table.
Free pool shots
PlayStation2 When playing pool you can get a free shot by pressing
Triangle as you take your shot and hit the ball. If done
correctly, you should hit the ball and your cue should follow
your white ball like if you had never taken your shot. If you
pot the white ball by doing this, it freezes your game. Simply
press Triangle as you press the Right Analog-stick Forward
and you will get an extra shot every time.
Hit pedestrian with the front of your shotgun
PlayStation2 Note: This cannot be done with more than two weapons.
Get a melee weapon (baseball bat, dildo, or a police nightstick
and an ordinary shotgun. If you have more than those two weapons
then this trick cannot be done. Switch to your melee weapon. Walk
up to a pedestrian and hit them then immediately press Circle
to switch to your shotgun. If done correctly, CJ should hit the
pedestrian with the shotgun as if he were using it as a melee
weapon.
Recruiting gang members
PlayStation2 Press R1 to target a gang member, then press D-pad Up.
Saving gang members
To save a gang member or bodyguard when you turn off the game, go to your safe house. Go to your garage. Run in the garage with your bodyguards. Run out without your bodyguards, and then save the game.
Make opposing gang members fight each other
Enable the "Spawn jet pack" code. Go near a group of gang members and allow them to approach you. When they start hitting you, fly up a short distance. If your health is still going down, fly slightly higher then they will fight each other.
Gang member drive-by
PlayStation2 Once you have a level one Respect upgrade, go to Grove street and walk up to a gang member (dressed in green). Without a gun equipped, hold
