Increase car acceleration
Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "handling.cfg" file in the "data" sub-folder in the game directory. When you open that file, you will see a table which has vehicle names in rows (Such as LANDSTAL, IDAHO, STINGER, etc.) and alphabetic characters in columns. For example, to increase the maximum speed and acceleration of the Rhino tank, choose column N, Row "RHINO" and change its value to "200.0". This will set the Rhino tank's maximum speed to 200K mph . Select column O in the same row and change its value to "33.0" ,which will make its acceleration higher. This method can be tricky, but if done correctly, your tank can fly. Note: Enable the cornerslikemad code to increase the handling of the tank.



Change weapon attributes
Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "weapon.cfg" file in the "data" sub-folder in the game directory. You can change the various attributes (reload time, ammunition, damage, etc.) of any weapon . Read the text in the "weapon.cfg" file for an explanation of what can be changed.



Change car attributes
Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "handling.cfg" file in the "\rockstar games\gta3\data" folder. You can change the various attributes (speed, weight, etc.) of any car. Read the text in the "handling.cfg" file for an explanation of what can be changed.



Ammunition limit
Activating the gunsgunsguns code repeatedly does not give you unlimited ammunition. To demonstrate this, take out a gun and keep enabling the gunsgunsguns code until you have as close to 9,999 rounds as possible. Then, enable the code one more time and you will not be able to see it anymore. Keep shooting your gun. After awhile, you will see your ammunition count again.

Grand Theft Auto 3 Tips & Hints

Police suicides
At any island, get a car and drive as close as you can to a cliff. Get out and get behind the car. Run it into the water. Jump on top of the car after it explodes and get your wanted level up to any desired level. The cops will jump into the water in an attempt to get to you. Cars will also fly off the cliff and kill themselves.



Easy kills
Jump onto any midsize car (not a big truck). You can stand on the hood of the car. From here, you can choose any gun and start shooting people while the car is still moving. This allows quick kills without walking, and the cops cannot get you.



Taxi missions in other cars
Get into a taxi and hold [Caps Lock]. Get out while still holding the key and walk to another car. Release [Caps Lock] when in the car. You can now do taxi missions in that new car.



Easy fire truck missions
Get inside the fire truck, press [Caps Lock] then press [F1]. Press [F1] again, and it will complete the mission. Do this repeatedly to pass the missions. Press [F1] when a new location appears.



Better and quicker stopping
When you are going very fast and you hit the handbrake, you will most likely spin out of control. To stop this from happening, hit reverse and the handbrake at the same time when you are trying to stop and high speeds. Doing this will stop you quicker, and eliminate any spinning.



The Lover mission: Extra money
In this mission, Mr. Chonks asks you to bring his wife's lover to show him the "real way business works". After you bring the lover, he kills Mr. Chonks and begins to walk away. Enable the gunsgunsguns code. Take out the flamethrower and kill him. He drops around fifteen to twenty stacks of money and a few weapons.



Cutting The Grass mission: Easy completion
To complete Salvatore's "Cutting the Grass" mission easily, instead of having to trail the snitch for the whole time, go straight to the Portland docks. When you get there, drive to the boat with the ramp leading up it. There is a staircase attached to the outside of the nearest building. Climb this and stop where you can see the ramp easily. This allows you to completely avoid the risk of spooking the snitch and gives you a good angle to shoot him from.



Staunton Island: Sniping locations
Go to Kenjis casino. Use the stairs to get on the helipad then jump over the barrier. From here, you can snipe, rocket, and grenade the cops or FBI that will run around at the bottom. The Army may storm you, but will not be able to get to you as they do not jump over things.



Portland: Sniping locations
The railroad that runs about Portland is a good choice as it allows you to move across almost the entire city and has three ways of getting off. Do not stand near a station or the cops will run up the stairs and either bust or waste you.



Portland: Get to Staunton Island early
In the "Last Request" mission, it is possible to "maroon" the Japanese girl. To do this, look for the closest "island" when you pick her and Maria up. Get to the island and back the boat up a slope. You will hear crunching sounds. Experiment, and sooner or later she will drop off the boat and onto the island. From there, get to Staunton Island. You can cruise around and do everything else except take up any missions or side jobs. Kill Maria or the Japanese girl and the mission will end.



Fly the Dodo
While on the runway of the airport in Shoreside Vale, you can get a dodo in one of the hangars. The easiest one is near the helicopter pad in the back of the airport. Bring it on the runway. Once there, back it up all the way to the end so that it is facing Staunton Island. Hold [Down] + X. Note: Look toward the side view of the plane to get a better view before it scratches the ground and crashes. While accelerating, immediately before the plane's nose sparks the ground is going its full speed, release every thing and the plane it will take off on its own. Once in the air, you are now able to use the cursor keys to steer the plane. Tap the keys and do not hold them for a safer flight. Keep the plane closer to the ground as it keeps trying to go up. However, every once in a while let it climb then do a nose dive to get more speed.



Stop car from exploding from damage
When in a vehicle that has been hit many times, the car will smoke, eventually catches fire, and explodes. If you enable the gesundheit code while in the car, it will repair the engine damage. The body work will still look damaged. You can even repair the car once it is on fire as long as you are quick enough. To do this quicker, pause the game before inputting the code. This trick is especially useful on the Bait mission, as the police will never be able to destroy you.



Easy Hidden Packages
Drive into the water and keep enabling the gesundheit code to stay alive. Keep repeating this until your beeper stops displaying information. You will now have 100 Hidden Packages.



Unlimited ammunition
Hold the pistol and enable the gunsgunsguns repeatedly. You will eventually have unlimited ammunition for any gun that you have to reload. If you are wasted or busted, the code must be repeated.



Police bribe in hideout
Get into any police vehicle and enter vigilante mode. After killing enough criminals (about ten to fifteen), your beeper will tell you that you have a police bribe in your hideout. Note: This works best if you use the police truck behind the police station on Staunton Island.



More cars in garage
You can fit more cars in your hideout's garage than you are supposed to. In district two, the garage should only hold two cars but you can fit four in (or five if they are small). Park the first two besides each other next to the wall. Then, park each car after that next to the door. Get out and the door will open. Quickly drive the car in before the door shuts. Now all three or four cars are saved. In order for this to work you need to park them very close together.

Glitches

Get to Staunton Island at the very beginning of the game
If you want to go to Staunton Island, but don't want to have to complete the missions in portland, then first enter the code chittychittybb. Next, steal a police car and head onto the broken freeway. Go as fast as you can and when you reach the broken part your car will begin to hover. All you do now is just make sure you don't land in the water and then you're in Staunton Island without completing any missions.



Unlimited time in Taxi Missions
Start a Taxi Mission, pick up someone, and drop em' off. Now, go to pick someone else up, but make sure they don't get in your taxi until the time is at exactly 0 seconds left. The timer should disappear, but the passenger will not leave your vehicle. You can now continue doing taxi missions without the timer, until you quit the mission or blow up your cab.
