B. Tha Police!

* --- Maybe one or two cops will trot over to your car and nonchalantly try to take you out. Not a problem. It goes away over time.

** -- Some cops will come, but hiding inside of a building will drop the wanted level.

*** -- Lots of cops start to come, as well as a police helicopter from Hell. This thing hurts a lot more than the one from VC.

**** -- The SWAT start to come via Enforcer and they drop from the helicopter. A Pay N' Spray or at least a police bribe would be a good idea at this point.

***** - The FBI comes and they have MP5s. This is some serious trouble. Find a Pay N' Spray!

****** - It's the army. Tanks, Barracks, mayhem. Get a tank or get to a save house, fast.

You can remove a wanted level by picking up a police bribe, getting sprayed at a Pay N' Spray, completing a mission, saving, dying, or getting busted.

Wanted levels are amassed by killing lots 717w2211h of pedestrians, killing cops, blowing up lots of vehicles, performing certain missions that involve lots of illegal stuff, and some other minor things. You get a one star warning for hitting a cop car or motorcycle, so try not to. It's not a problem, just annoying.


C. Statistics 78% of All Statistics Are Made Up on the Spot

There are all sorts of stats in this game. Each one has its own special purpose in life.

Muscle -- Muscle is one of the two biggest stats. Raise this by working out in the gyms and pumping iron. There is no penalty for being buffed up to the max. Muscle decreases over time if you don't eat.

Stamina -- This is the other main stat. The higher your stamina, the longer you can sprint, bike, and swim. Stamina never decreases, so max it by riding bikes or running on the treadmill.

Fat -- You get fat by eating any food that isn't salad. Having SOME fat is a good thing. You want like 2% fat. If you aren't burning fat when you run, you are burning muscle. This sucks, and makes you have to go back to the gym every day to fix your losses.

Lung Capacity -- Swimming underwater increases this stat. hit circle to dive underwater and swim around.

Driving -- Driving stat increases by driving. The higher your driving stat, the less you spin out on turns and the harder your car is to flip over by hitting little bumps. Driving increases the slowest of any vehicle.

Bike -- Motorcycle skill increases by riding motorcycles. The higher your cycle stat, the harder it is to fall off and the faster you can reverse. You also take less damage for falls.

Cycle -- Bike skill increases by, get this, riding bikes. The more you pedal, the more bike skill rises. Bike increases the fastest of any vehicle.

Boating -- Boat skill increases by riding boats. The more you boat, the better your turning is and so on and so forth.

Flying -- The more you fly, the more responsive the controls are and the less you tend to drift off away from where you want to go. Getting 20% flying skill nets you a free pilot's license.

Gambling -- The more you gamble, the more you can bet on a single wager and the more luck you have while betting.

Dating -- Dating girls and keeping them happy raises your dating stat, which allows you to increase your "Times Laid" stat. It's all for fun. Your sex appeal stat is tied into this as well.

Weapon -- Weapon stats increase by shooting pedestrians, gang members, cops, and vehicles. The higher the weapon stat, the more you can do with the gun. Walk while shooting, run while shooting, pin point heads, or in the case of the 9mm, sawnoff shotgun, Tec9, and mini-SMG, carry two at once. There are three weapon skills, Poor, Gangster, and Hitman.

Respect -- I've got a section on respect down below. Check it out.


D. I Tell Ya, I Get No Respect Here's how respect works. Respect simply allows you to recruit more gangsters to follow you around as lackeys. You can get up to seven followers. Recruit a gang member by targetting an Grove Street member in green and hitting down on the D-pad.

Running respect is 40% of your total. Mission progress is 36%. Turf control is 6%, money is 6%, fitness is 4%, girlfriends are 4%, and clothes are 4%.Running respect is raised and lowered in these ways:

Kill a drug dealer+.005%
Kill a gang member+.5%
Take over territory +30%
Kill an OG member -.005%
An OG member dies -2%
Territory is lost -3%

Turf wars are by far the best way to raise respect quickly.


E. Weaponry and Items Hands:

Your fist -- Just what it sounds like, it's your fist.

Brass Knuckles -- Attach these to your fists for an extra punch.

Melee:

Baseball Bat -- Great for beating the hell out of anything you want to.

Chainsaw -- Vroom vroom. You know what it is.

Golf Club -- Great for hitting balls, and not just golf balls.

Katana -- Carl Johnson. Thug. Gangsta. Samurai.

Knife -- Walk up behind someone and hit Triangle to slit their throat. A lot of hookers carry these.

Nightstick -- A cop's beatin' stick.

Pool Stick -- For those who can't stand pool.

Shovel -- Your standard all-purpose spade. There's one behind Ryder's house.

Pistols:

9mm -- A plain ol' 9mm. Found on nearly all gangsters and cops. Gangster level reached at 10%, able to be dual weld at 100% by picking up another 9mm.

Silenced 9mm -- A 9mm with a silencer. Gangster levle reached at 20%. Cannot be dual weld.

Desert Eagle -- A .50 calibur handgun that hurts like hell. Gangster reached at 20%.

Shotguns:

Shotgun -- A double-barreled shotgun that packs a punch. Gangster at 20%.

Combat Shotgun -- A killer Spaz-12 auto-shotgun. Gangster at 20%.

Sawn-off Shotgun -- Here you go. This is the ultimate melee weapon at Hitman level. You can dual wield these babies. Gangster at 20%.

SMGs:

Tec9 -- A thug's gat. Weak, but effective. Gangster at 10%. Can be dual weld.

Micro-SMG -- Faster than the Tec and slightly harder hitting. Gangster at 10%. Can also be dual-wield.

MP5 -- The best of the SMGs by far. Gangster at 30%.

Assault Rifles:

AK-47 -- The terrorists weapon of choice. Gangster at 30%, get Hitman to becomea headshot machine.

M4 -- The counter-terrorist weapon of choice. Gangster at 20%.

Rifles:

Country Rifle -- You have to scope with this one-shot rifle. It kills in two hits and has medium range.

Sniper Rifle -- Take someone out before they know what hit them. Has a huge scope and kills in one hit.

Heavy:

Rocket Launcher -- Fwooooosh.

Heat-Seaking RPG -- Do I have to say anything?

Flamethrower -- Burn baby burn.

Minigun -- You can aim this now, unlike in VC. This thing is a killer weapon, and wipes out anything in its path.

Projectile:

Grenades -- Meh.

Tear Gas -- Doesn't hurt cars, but wipes out crowds in a hurry.

Molotovs -- Everyone's favorote fire bomb.

Remote Explosive -- Here we go. Throw it, watch it stick, then switch to the detonator for some good time fun.

Special:

Spray Can -- For spraying tags in LS. Found in the bedroom of the Johnson home.

Camera -- For snapshots in SF. Also found in the same bedroom.

Fire Extinguisher -- Extinguisher of fires. Also a fun way to suffocate some poor sap to death.

Gifts:

Cane -- A beatin' stick...of love. (Thanks RanjaMan for the fix).

Flowers -- Found throughout San Andreas. Perfect gifts for that special ho in your life.

Dildo -- Yea, there's a dildo guys. It's in the shower of the LS police station, and you can give it as a gift. Target your girlfriend and hit L1 to give it to her.

Extras:

Thermal Goggles -- I don't know a damn thing about these, but you should no what heat vision goggles do.

Parachute -- There's one on top of the hotel in SF, the huge circular building in LS, and on top of Mt. Chiliad. Other locations are on top of the highest Gant Bridge support, on top of The Big Ear in the Desert, and on top of the highest skyscraper of Las Venturas (need an aircraft to get to this location).

Jetpack -- Info by Cedric Jacobs: After the mission Green Goo out in the Desert, it spawns at the Verdant Meadows airfield afterwards. Controls: X = go up, Square = go down, L Analog = change directions, L2 = strafe left, R2 = strafe right, R2+L2 = hover.

To increase your weapon skills on the weapons that have skills, kill things! Pedestrians are worth one point, enemy gang members are worth more, cops are worth the most. Turf wars are a good way to powerlevel your stats, as well as just long cop fights for fun. Hitman skill in AK, M4, 9mm, and MP5 are almost crucial for a lot of missions.

Items:

Adrenaline -- These are found very scarcely throughout San Andreas. I've found one through all of my exploring. They aren't very exciting; all they do is create bullet time so you can see more blood for about a minute.

Armor -- Body armor is found throughout San Andreas and in Ammunations. The first location is behind Sweet's house, in the aqueducts under an overpass.

Camera Icon -- This appears from 0:01-4:00 in areas around SF. Take a picture of the area it's in. These are the hidden packages of SF.

Health -- Health pickups only appear during certain missions and turf wars.

Horseshoes -- The hidden packages of LV. These raise your luck stat.

Oysters -- These are the underwater hidden packages found all throughout San Andreas. They raises sex appeal and lung capacity.

Police Bribe -- A floating star is a police bribe that removes one wanted level from your current level.

Two-Player Icon -- A floating pink icon with two people on it is a two-player icon. This starts either a two-player free roam or rampage. I'm going to leave it up to you guys to find these on your own. I hate location guides: /

H. Car Mods Info

Transfenders - Temple, Los Santos; Doherty, SF; Come-a-Lot, LV

Opens upon completion of "Cesar Vialpando". Transfenders works on 65 different types of cars, so just keep checking cars to see what it will or won't accept. These are the simplest of shops that only have basic upgrades, but working on nearly all cars is a great plus.

All upgrades are strictly visual except Bass Boost, Nitrous, and Hydraulics. This is all pretty self-explanitory.

Loco Low Co. - Willowfield, LS

Opens upon completion of "Cesar Vialpando". Has tons of upgrades, but only for lowriders. Check the Lowrider section of the Vehicle info for more information on what cars constitute as lowriders.

Wheel Arch Angels - Ocean Flats, SF

Opens upon completion of Zeroing In. This place makes a few select cars into massive rice rockets. The only servicable cars are Uranus, Sultan, Elegy, Stratum, Jester, and Flash. You can get some very cool paint jobs and updgrades, including hydraulics and of course, NOS.


I. Girlfriends Info

Shamelessly stolen from the SA Forums. <3 you guys.

There are a total of six girls to take out. Your sex appeal for each girl goes about 60% clothes/tats and 40% car. Be sure to pimp yourself out before showing these gals a good time!

1. Denise Robinson - Get from "Burning Desire" mission in Los Santos. Time available - 16:00 to 06:00
2. Katie Zhan - The Country Club in San Fierro. Time available - 12:00 to 00:00
3. Helena Wankstein - Blueberry, Red County. Time available - 08:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 02:00
4. Michelle Cannes - San Fierro Driving School. Time available - 00:01 to 12:00
5. Barbara Schternvart - El Quebrados, The Sheriff's Parking Lot. Time available - 16:00 to 06:00
6. Millie Perkins - Get from "Key to her Heart" mission in Las Venturas. Time available - 02:00 to 10:00 and 14:00 to 18:00

Each woman likes a different appearance of your character (although Denise does not, since you rescued her from a burning building and she's pretty much a crack whore).

Katie Likes: Muscles.
Helena Likes: Average. 15 - 25% muscle, 0 - 5% fat.
Michelle Likes: Guys with some handles. 20 - 40% muscle, 20 - 50% fat.
Barbara Likes: Fatties. 10 - 15% muscle, 60 - 100% fat.
Millie Likes: Fast cars and double-sided dildos.

Now, showing up to a girl's house in a nice ride makes all the difference. "Modding" your ride does not up your increase your sex appeal for that date. Try and find some pretty fly rides (the more expensive, the better; you can check prices at the import/export lot to see which ones are go to the high end of things) and show up to the chick's house with them UNDAMAGED.

Remember to take them to places only when you see the "So-and-so likes the look of this place" appear on your screen. A perfect date will net you another +5% with the girl.

As for giving them gifts, just target them and press L1 with either flowers or the dildo equipped. This raises your percentage with the girl 1 whole percent. Press it again to give her a little smooch (and some blue balls) for another 1%. Wow.

As for the rewards, well, I haven't got em all yet, but will soon.

Katie is a hospital worker, and thus you can die and retain all of your weapons and cash. Barbara is a cop, and does the same for being busted. Michelle lets you fix cars at your garage for free. Denise gives you a pimp suit. Millie gives you the key for the mission, and Helena just gives you sex as far as I know.

Thanks to TheAgent.

NOTICE: I really, really, really don't give a flying eff about girlfriends. I think that the whole concept is stupid and pointless. If you are having a problem with any girlfriend, please, don't hesitate to not ask me about them. I cannot give you a straight answer about any of them. There is a nice guide up on GameFAQs that tells you all about girlfriends.


J. Gambling Info

The $ amounts in this section are the increments you can bet, not the whole amount. Example being Roulette says $1000 to $1,000,000. You can bet up to $999,999,000, if you had that much money. Sorry I didn't specify this at first.

Gambling Skill -- This increases by how much you bet. Only betting at tables (no ITB) increases gambling skill. You can wager and borrow more money the more you bet, but your luck does not increase.

1% - Gambler Level - $1,000 Max Bet and Borrow
5% - Professional - $10,000 Max
10% - Hi-Roller - $100,000 Max
100% - Whale - $1,000,000 Max

Luck -- Luck is increased only by colleting horseshoes and oysters.

Inside Track Bettting -- ITB is the best way to make millions of dollars in about an hour of "work". Go in, place a bet of say, $10,000 on the long shot horse. Bam, $120,000. Save. Go back, hit $10,000 twelve times to bet $120,000. Bam, over a million. Repeat until you don't care anymore. Locations in Downtown Los Santos and Montgomery, Red County.

Pool -- Bet from $1,000 to $100,000. This is an actual skill dependant game that is open at nearly all bars in San Andreas. You can play this in one player vs. the computer, or vs. a friend in two-player.

Video Poker -- Some bars, and the LV Casinos have Poker. Bet $50, $100, $150, $200, or $250 on a simple game of video poker. Enjoy the pictures on the face cards as well, they all reference GTA3 or Vice.

The following games are available only in the Las Venturas Casinos:

Blackjack -- $100 to $1,000,000. An age-old card game.

Slots -- $1, $10, $20, and $50. The epitomy of luck gambling.

Wheel of Fortune -- $100 to $1,000,000. Hit circle to try and stop on the star slot. There is no Bankrupt, fortunately.

Roulette -- $1,000 to $1,000,000. Wait, maybe this is the epitomy. Yea, it probably is. Guess where the ball will land and bet fortunes on the fate of one little white ball.


K. Tags, Oysters, etc.

I hate maps. Someone else already made one. Check it out.
https://hem.bredband.net/708145/

Tags boost respect. Collecting all 100 gives you an AK, a Tec9, a Sawnoff shotgun, and molotovs cocktails in the kitchen of your house.

Tag hunting tips: Keep a map with you and cross them off as you go. Work in sections of tags and go on a BMX for mobility and speed. Also, make sure you have a lot of spray. If you run out in the middle of a tag, it may glitch and not allow you to ever finish it.

Snapshots boost nothing. Collecting all 50 gives you a Micro-SMG, Grenades, a Shotgun, and a Sniper Rifle outside of your garage. Get a picture guide to see what exactly you need. Go at night to see the icons better in the sky. You'll need a helicopter for some of them, and one of them is at the naval tanker. Save before you go and prepare to die for that >_>

Horseshoes boost luck. Collecting all 50 gives you an M4, an MP5, a Combat Shotgun, and Satchel Charges outside The Four Dragons Casino. You need a jetpack for Horseshoes. Horseshoes are the easiest collectable as long as you know where you're going. It only took me an hour for all of them.

Oysters boost Lung Capacity and Sex Appeal, but collecting them all is just for 100%. Get a Sea Sparrow. Land near the oyster, swim around for it, grab it, and fly to the next. I managed all 50 in fewer than two hours with this method. It's very safe and time efficient.

L. Extras

1. Unique Jumps

There are 70 unique jumps throughout SA. They are not required for 100% completion. Each jump is $500, and does not increase. When a map is posted online, I'll put it up here.

2. Two-player Stuff

There are two player icons scattered all throughout San Andreas. Hunt them down! I don't make maps, so I really can't help you. They are bright pink and have pictures of two people on them. Two-player mode has two types, rampage and free roam, and each icon has a different property to it. Happy hunting.

Oh wait, here we go: https://hem.bredband.net/708145/ put one up.

3. Arcade Games

There are four arcade games that are found in bars and in CJ's first safe house. They are all plays on old school arcade games. They have no bearing on anything else in the game, and just kill time for when you're really bored. They are Duality, Go Go Space Monkey, Let's Get Ready to Bumble, and They Come From Uranus.

4. Beat the Cock

These are two triathalon races located on Santa Maria Beach on weekends only. They are unlocked after you unlock Las Venturas, and span most of the state. They start with a swimming race, which leads to a cycling race, and finishes with a sprint. You need high Stamina and Bike skill to pass these races. The reward for each is $10,000.

5. Other Not 100% Stuff

There are a lot of things you don't need for 100%. The Basketball challenge, dancing, and many other things are all pointless and just for fun. Refer to the 100% section for details.

M. Gangs and Turf Wars

Gangs:

Grove Street Families -- Green, home in Ganton.

Ballas -- Purple, a big force in all of Los Santos.

Los Santos Vagos -- Yellow, a lesser Mexican gang of northeast Los Santos.

Las Aztecas Varrios -- Cyan, another Meixcan gang at war with the Vagos.

San Fierro Rifa -- Blue, a big Mexican gang of Garcia, San Fierro.

Triads -- Red, the Chinese gang of Chinatown.

Da Nang Thang -- The Viatnamese gang that controls Easter Basin, SF.

Mafia -- The Italians that run some casinos in Las Venturas.

Completing Doberman unlocks the ability to fight for turf.

Here's how Turf Wars really work. Start by recruiting a couple of gang members and heading into the territory of your choice. Kill a few gangsters and watch the turf war start. Here's the difference. Wave one is chump change. Pick them off, take the cash and gats, and get ready for wave two. Wave two is harder. We've got some AKs, some SMGs, and a few more gang members. Health icons and body armor spawn on the corners of the area under attack, and they can and WILL save your ass a few times. Wave three is Hell, however. Gangsters attack from all sides with AKs, SMGs, and I've even had a few drive-by me and I had to blow up the car. Once wave three is over, OG controls the turf.

How do you survive this? Hitman status. Do some early gang wars and build your pistol, SMG, AK, and maybe Shotgun all up to Hitman. Hitman makes you a killing MACHINE. Target, HEADSHOT, target, HEADSHOT. It's the only way to take over all of LS, which some people really want to do.

What's the point? CJ's house becomes an asset after this mission. The more territories you own, the more you collect. The more territories you own, the less gangsters shoot at you during side missions. The more territories you take over/defend, the more respect you have.

Defend? What? Yea, at random times (also known as "whenever you least need it to happen"), any and every one of your territories can come under gang attack, even if all other gangs are wiped off the map. Simply drive over, take out as many as you can in car, bail out, and finish the rest on foot. You get some cash and respect for doing so, and you keep the territory. Also, since a lot of people have sent this in, just saving while your turf is under attack stops the gang war. It's cheap, but nice to know.

After completion of "Green Sabre", you cannot do turf wars until you return to Los Santos far later in the game.
