Easy sneaking
If you put the Angry Ped cheat on then go to the Military base the soldiers will be killing each other, and it makes it easier to sneak in. This helps a lot at the end of the game when you can get an Apache.



Fast cars and SUVs
When you finish all the SunShine Auto missions you get fast cars and a monster truck SUV.



Change size of moon
Shoot the moon with your sniper rifle to make it change size!



Easy PCJ 600
There is a place where there is always a PCJ 600. First go to the greesy choppers place. Directly across the street there is two windows that can be broken. Break the window to the right and there will be a PCJ 600.



Fast tank
To make the tank go faster, turn the turret backwards and fire in rapid succession. You can now move faster than any other vehicle. It works on water too.



Get Coast Guard Boat
Start from the cherry popper Ice Cream Shop and head south. You should pass a bridge on your left and then soon on your left you should see a narrow brown dock right next to the water. In the water below the front of the dock is a boat. Go to the edge and look down. You will see it. Do not jump from there though. You must jump from the south of the boat because you will fall in the water any other way. You may drown the first couple of times but once you finally get it you will have the coast guard boat!



Get Extra Money For Good Citizen
When you kick a bad guy you will get the sign that says good citizen. After you get your money, wait until the numbers stop moving. Then kick him again. Do this repeatedly until the body disappears.



Get a hummer
Go to Phil's Place to the North of Little Haiti and go into his big garage and you will find a Hummer siting right there in front of you!



Get An Apache
To get the apache first beat the game and go to the Fort baxter airbase behind the airport. Go to the back of the base and it should be sitting there. But be careful unless you're wearing a cop suit or you will be killed by the army guys.



Hidden Golfcart
Follow the path that goes out the lighthouse. When you cross the bridge and the path run next to the water. It will be in the frist bush straight ahead on the right.



Malibu Club performers
Go to the Malibu Club and check out the performers. They resemble the Village People.



See vampire
Go to the Malibu club and go upstairs to the little room. Now go to where the small boat is and look in the mirror.



Unlimited ammo
Any time during the game enter any of the three weapons cheats repeatedly until a weapon gets to 10,000 ammo. You will then notice there's no number of ammo left - you now have unlimited ammo on that weapon. You lose it if you die or get busted, so be careful!



Flying tank
Press PANZER. A RHINO tank will be spawned. Enter it.(If the police starts chasing you press the "LEAVEMEALONE" cheat). Then press the SEAWAYS cheat. Drop the tank into the sea. You MUST stay in it. Press the COMEFLYWITHME cheat. Start asselerating by pressing the [Up] button. Then press the num4 or the num5 button so the turret will turn backwards and start shooting. Continue shooting-no matter what your height-position is. If you follow all the steps correctly, the tank will start flying!



Easy Sir, Yes Sir mission
Enable the nuttertools code ten to twenty times. Shift to the gun with the most ammunition. Enable the gettherefast code and get in the Sabre Turbo. You can also get in a fast car that a civilian is driving but it takes longer. Get full health and armor. Get directly behind the convoy and aim for one of the lines of soldiers. Run over one line of them then drive for awhile and get out. Turn around and blow them all the soldiers and vehicles with the gun. There is one soldier on top of the tank. When you kill him you can get in the tank. Watch your health meter. When it gets below 50, pause game play and get full health and armor again. Take the tank and drive it into the garage.



Prostitute on bike
Get a motorcycle (PCJ) then look for a prostitute. When you find her, pause game play and enable the hopingirl code. The girl will get on the bike, hide in some bushes, and do her thing.



Easy Stop The Robbery mission
Kill the man on the sign, then enable bigbang code for all of the men that follow.



Easy Kill The Pizza-Boy mission
As soon as you get off the phone enable the bigbang code.



Publicity Tour mission: Easy completion
To pass this mission easily, keep tapping [F1] repeatedly for the replay effect to hear all of the dialogue without having to worry about the detonation meter. Note: The most effective way to do this is to drive extremely fast on a long stretch of road while also enabling the booooooring code, if desired.



Stoppie bonuses
It is possible to get up to 150 second stoppie bonuses with this trick. First, get a moped and drive to where there is a long, straight stretch of road. Press [Keypad 9] to lean forward, then use the brake. While you are doing a basic stoppie, release the brake and press the gas (while still holding [Keypad 9]). You should be able to "drive" on your one wheel for a long time. Note: You cannot turn or do anything else.



Downtown: Secret rooftop hideout
Go to the Greasy Choppers Bike Club. Go north about a half block. On the left hand side is a building with stairs (going over a gun that you can obtain). Go up the stairs to the roof to find a shack that can be used to store any motorcycle-class vehicle, etc. It only costs $1,000.



Leaf Links: Annoy guards
Get a PCJ 600 motorcycle and position yourself directly outside the golf club (where the guards usually take your weapons). Move back far enough so that you can to nearly top speed. Ride straight past where your weapons are usually confiscated and go into the golf course. The guards will try to chase you, but you will easily outrun them. If you were quick enough through the gates, you will still have all your weapons.



Washington Beach: Sniping location
Find the parking deck with the neon lining at the top. This is the parking deck with a Banshee and a PCJ 600. Walk up the stairs at the north side of the parking deck. At the top of the stairs, there should be a set of body armor. Turn to the right when you get to the top of the stairs. Jump onto the side of the building, go around the corner, then around the next one. Enable a weapons code to accumulate bazooka ammunition. Take out the bazooka and shoot the cops. You can fill out all six wanted stars here, and the only thing that can hurt you is the police chopper.



Alloy Wheels Of Steel mission
Enable the "Rhino" code and put two tanks in front of the other motorcycles. You will have enough room to get in front. Keep up your speed and you will win the race easily because the other motorcycles will crash into the tank and either fall off or have to go around them, using up time.



Death Row mission
Go to the Malibu Club in a really fast car, such as an Inferno. Get the mission brief. Drive as fast as you can towards the junkyard. When around the corner from enable the "Rhino" code to spawn a tank. Drive towards the guards, blasting them with the tank's cannon. Once inside the junkyard, kill as many men as you can by running them over with the tank. Grab Lance and make your way back toward the tank. Then, take him to the hospital to complete the mission.



Blood Ring Bangers
After winning the Destruction Derby at Hyman Stadium, two Blood Ring Bangers will be parked outside. Once you exit the stadium, go to the right. Thenm walk around the stadium until you see the first parking area. There will be two Blood Ring Bangers. They will respawn if you destroy them, and will be at that same place forever. Each time you find those cars, they will change in number, color, and/or graphic design.



Cars: Wheelie
Enable the "Change wheel size" code about five times. Find a car like the Bobcat, Baggage Carrier, Rancher, or any other car that goes faster than normal. Then, enable the "Better driving skills" code. When you hit the gas, you will pop a wheelie.



Motorcycles: Easy passengers
You can get a passenger on the back of your motorcycle-class vehicles easily. Find one with two people on it. Knock both people off, and make sure the passenger gets to the motorcycle before the driver does. Try punching the driver a few times. Do not shoot or the passenger will run away. Once the passenger gets on, just hop on and ride away.



Rig a car with a bomb
Go to the south of Little Havana. In this area are a series of garages, in the place where you fought the Zebra cab in the Kaufman Cabs asset mission. Go by the water and look at the garages. One of them will be open and have a picture of a bomb painted like an 8-Ball. Drive your car inside and let the garage close. Wait a few seconds and it will open. A message will appear, stating that you can just use the detonator to blow up the car. Get out of the car and the detonator will be selected as your weapon.



Easier street races
There are two things that are extremely helpful when street racing. First, you do not have to park in the pink area. Hitting a competitor will start the race automatically. To get an advantage, get some speed in the direction of the first checkpoint, then just barely nick the lead car as you fly by. They will all be left in your dust, and probably will not catch up. Secondly, especially for the final race, you may want to block them off with a giant vehicle, like a Coach or Packer. When coupled with the first trick, you just may win.



Keep black or pink cars
Enable the "Black traffic" or "Pink traffic" code. Park any car that you want to remain in that color and save the game. When you reload, you will have that color car. This does not seem to work on certain mission cars, such as the taxis. If you already have a car in your garage and wish to make it black, enable the code, drive into a Pay 'N' Spray and do the same as the above.



Easy cop mission
Do the RHINO cheat. than do the cop mission. Get out your RHINO run away from the RHINO then the cheat BIGbang. Run back to the road en than enter the RHINO cheat get in your car. Then run out your car end run away from the road.(bigbang) then RHINO get in.. get out.. run .. enter cheat..enter cheat...

RHINO cheat= panzer
blow up cars= bigbang

Submitted By: HHKILLER


Ambulance: Ride on top
When somebody dies near you, an ambulance will soon appear. Before it starts to leave, jump on it and stay there to get a ride through the town. When the ambulance reaches a red light and a car is in front of it, the ambulance will hit the car and you will start to get thrown off. To prevent this, move towards the center of the ambulance. The same thing will happen when the ambulance is going around a corner.



Blood Ring Bangers
After winning the Destruction Derby at Hyman Stadium, two Blood Ring Bangers will be parked outside. Once you exit the stadium, go to the right. Thenm walk around the stadium until you see the first parking area. There will be two Blood Ring Bangers. They will respawn if you destroy them, and will be at that same place forever. Each time you find those cars, they will change in number, color, and/or graphic design.



Coach: Easier getaway from cops
If you are running from the cops, hijack a Coach. Even though they are very slow, they are very big and can withstand a lot of damage. The police cars cannot stop it or make it spin out. Unfortunately, when the bus catches on fire, it takes a long time to get out of it, and there is a good chance that you will get wasted.



FBI Washington
Go downtown to the Well Stacked Pizza. Go to the nearby alley (the south alley shaped like a near perfect square on the map). Look around to find a black Washington. If it is not there, then drive away a distance (like to Hyman Memorial Stadium) then return. If not, do it again.



Hunter: Saving at hideout
Acquire a property with a large garage, such as the Hyman condo. Get the Hunter and take it to the Hyman Condo. Fly down from above to the western-most garage. Make sure this garage is empty. There should be enough space for you to fly down. Place it on the ground, positioning it so that its winglets are exactly parallel to the garage doors and can easily pass through it. If you find it difficult to place the Hunter in this position because of the limited space, get out of it and push it to this position. Push it up to the garage door, then place yourself behind a winglet and push it into the garage. Push it all the way to the end until it cannot go any further. Exit the garage and the Hunter will be inside. To get it out, simply push it in the opposite direction and out of the garage. Try experimenting with different garages to see how it works. If the garage is big enough, it should fit nicely.



Phoenix
You can always find a Phoenix at Starfish Island. Find the house with the Comet. Go back to the main road with a motorcycle (or walk) and take a right (on the sidewalk). Go down past the front yard fence to the first house. Keep walking until u see a alleyway and turn into it. Go to the end of the alley, then look to the right to find an opening to the house's backyard (by a dumpster). Go in it and turn to the right. You will see a garage. A Phoenix will be inside. After getting in the Phoenix, drive it out of the garage and go left around the house. You will see a ramp. Jump the car over the fence. Alternately, enable the "Car floats on water" code.



Pony: Black
Do the Loose Ends phone mission. Kill everyone, but do not finish the mission. Go get two Packers and drive them both as if you are playing leapfrog or else they will disappear. Park one of them in front of the gate that you came in. Drive the other Packer up its ramp so that it goes over the gate. Next, position this Packer so that you can drive the black Pony up the ramp and over the gate. Drive it to a garage and return. If you are lucky, the Packer did not disappear and you can also get a pitch black Admiral.



Rhino: Kill tank drivers with gun
If you have a sniper rifle, take aim at the Rhino. Aim it just directly below the turret, in front of the tank. You will see the head of two soldiers inside. Snipe the one of the right, as that is the driver. The one on the left will either exit (then shoot you) or take driver seat and drive. You can use other various guns as well, if you have good aim and timing.



Sea Sparrow
After unlocking the other side of Vice City and gain Diaz's house from him in the Rub-Out mission, return to the island you first started on. Go the pizza restaurant near the Leaf Links bridge. Go to the apartment building near there that has one of the windows open. Go up to the roof. There are two other flights of stairs in plain sight when you look at the apartment -- this makes it easy to find the correct location. Go to the north of the roof and jump off onto another roof. Finally, jump off the roof into a yard. The Sea Sparrow helicopter is located next to the trees. If it does not appear here, leave and return later. Note: This helicopter can float



Spand Express: Gold
To get the gold Spand Express, play until the Jury Fury mission. Enable the "Car drives on water" code. Make sure you have at least $14,000. Before doing this mission, drive a car to the Docks and go north. Buy the Hyman Condo. Set any car on fire, then go in it to commit suicide. You should end up back on the other side. At some point during the Jury Furymission, a gold Spand Express should ram one of the jurors, dropping two hammers. Get the juror out of the car and take the Spand Express. Drive it to the Hyman Condo and put it in the garage. Commit suicide to return to Vice City.



Motorcycles: Steal with leap kick
Approaching the front of the bike when stealing it. Tommy will leap kick the person off and land right on the bike. He will also do the same kind of leap onto it, without the kick when doing this to an unattended bike.



Rig a car with a bomb
Go to the south of Little Havana. In this area are a series of garages, in the place where you fought the Zebra cab in the Kaufman Cabs asset mission. Go by the water and look at the garages. One of them will be open and have a picture of a bomb painted like an 8-Ball. Drive your car inside and let the garage close. Wait a few seconds and it will open. A message will appear, stating that you can just use the detonator to blow up the car. Get out of the car and the detonator will be selected as your weapon.



Load a car on top of another
You need to have a moving Rancher in front of you to do this trick. You also need an Infernus. Drive behind a Rancher at the same speed. Using the front of the Infernus like a wedge, it is easy to lift the Rancher onto the hood. Once its back wheels are on the hood, hammer on the accelerator to full throttle. This will lift the Rancher straight up onto your roof. If you go fast enough, the car will go over you. This is useful if you are on a mission and the cops are on your tail, or you are running out of time where there is a lot of traffic.



Easier street races
There are two things that are extremely helpful when street racing. First, you do not have to park in the pink area. Hitting a competitor will start the race automatically. To get an advantage, get some speed in the direction of the first checkpoint, then just barely nick the lead car as you fly by. They will all be left in your dust, and probably will not catch up. Secondly, especially for the final race, you may want to block them off with a giant vehicle, like a Coach or Packer. When coupled with the first trick, you just may win.



Restore health
Go to your hideout and go to "Save". Either save or leave without saving and your health will be restored to full



Screaming prostitute
Enable the "Car floats on water" code, then get a nice looking car. Pick up a prostitute and drive off onto the beach and into the water (watch for high waves). After you are far off from land, stop. She will do her thing and you will increase health. The poor girl will not be able to get out and will scream continuously until you finally drive her back to land.



Easy rampage
If you are doing a rampage that requires a certain number of vehicles to be destroyed and you are near somewhere with a large garage, go over to it. Open the garage and blow the cars up while they are still inside. Walk away so that the garage closes, then return and the cars will be in perfect shape again. Blow them up again, and repeat the process. This is very useful for the two RPG rampages near Sunshine Autos (on the airport roof and on the big ship); and the chaingun rampage (near Fort Baxter). Since Sunshine Autos has so many large garages, it is easy to fly over in a helicopter, get the rampage, then fly back to Sunshine Autos to do the trick.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Items

Easter Eggs

San Andreas
Listen to the VCHAT radio station and you will hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first time calla". They will start talking about different football conversations. Listen for about one minute and you will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we were beaten by San Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities were Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. This is a hint towards the location or title of the fifth game in the series.



The Terminator
Look closely at the "Exploder" billboard above the 24/7 store in Little Havana to see a scene from The Terminator, in which the Terminator robot descends from an explosion.



Grand Theft Auto 3
There is an airplane with a banner on the back that flies around Vice City. When you fly a helicopter or a plane around it, or zoom in on it with a sniper rifle, you can see that it is an exact duplicate of the full-winged Dodo from Grand Theft Auto 3.



The Getaway
On the assassination mission Autocide, the two people in the truck are named Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter. The main characters of The Getaway are Frank Carter and Mark Hammond.



Glitches

Jumping car
Get into a police car and press [Caps Lock] to start a Vigilante mission. Start pressing [Shift] repeatedly until the sirens begin. When this happens press [Shift] again repeatedly until you hop into the air. Do not press [Caps Lock] again. Get out of the police car and get into another car. Press [Shift] and you will jump. Note: This does not work all of the time.



Hands free walk
While holding [Up], press [F1] at the same time then press it again. You will be walking without having to press any keys. This is helpful if you are tired of holding the same key. Use the mouse the control the direction in which you are moving. Note: This can be also done in different walking directions with the keyboard -- just make sure you press [F1] while doing so.



Invincibility
As you open the door of a vehicle, quickly press [Esc] and enable any of the different costume codes of your choice. The result will be you being invincible to any attacks that hit you. Also, if you blow up yourself with a rocket launcher, you will still not lose any health or armor, but you will be just lying down pretending to be dead. To "wake" yourself up, enable the same or another different costume code again. Note: This is glitch is similar to the "Phantom driver" glitch because you are actually paused but in a form where the input devices can control your body; however you will not be able to move around anywhere else. People and objects can also go through your body.



Invisible weapon inventory
Go to any Ammu-nation or hardware store in Vice City. Walk up to the pink marker and immediately throw a grenade. The cashier will be dead and all of the weapons in the inventory list will disappear except for the Body Armor. You can however still buy the invisible weapons. Note: You will not get any stars for doing this.



Camera and replay of death
This trick will allow you to pause time by the use of a camera and the replay effect. First, get a camera (from missions like Martha's Mug Shot or elsewhere) and take a picture. As soon as you see the camera light flash, immediately press [F1]. Wait a few seconds then press [F1] again. As a result, everything in the game will be paused except for Tommy, who is moving in slow motion. You can do a lot of extremely strange moves with Tommy. To exit this glitch and return to normal time, either retake a picture the proper way or enable the bigbang code. Note: You can still cycle through your weapons, but if you use them it will take a very long time to make a single shot because you are in slow motion and therefore cannot cycle through your other weapons again.



Stand underwater
Take any sports car with tires that do not become big (for example, the Banshee). Enable the loadsoflittlethings code then drive straight into the water. If you land on a rock, you can get out of the car and stand underwater without getting wasted. If you do not land on a rock ,you will feel as if you are going endlessly down nowhere, but will land far away.



Fall through game
Take a bike, preferably the PCJ 600, to Washington Beach. Go to one of the outpost huts and place the bike facing the steps. Move backwards until you have enough distance to get some real speed. Once you have done this, drive towards the steps and try to fly over them. If done correctly, when you hit them you will get the "Greetings From Vice City" screen, then see yourself falling through the ground seemingly to nowhere. However, eventually you will return to the ground in a far away area.



Fixed hood, trunk, and doors
Find any vehicle and have brass knuckles, a bat, or empty hand. Hit either the hood, trunk, or doors two hits for each piece, them get in the car. Press [F1] for a replay then press [F1] to exit the replay. The doors, hood, and trunk will be perfect but open while driving. If you hit anything three times, it will fall off and when driving fast the front hood will fly off.



Unlimited pistol ammunitio
Go to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown. Enter the back room and keep doing the target challenge. You will notice that every time you complete it, your pistol ammunition will go up. Eventually, there will be no ammo or amount left in the clip shown under the pistol. Note: This trick can only be done with the regular pistol, and not the revolver.



No vehicles spawn in Vice City
Do the "Phantom Driver" glitch to more drivers inside of vehicles. After doing this, the game will not spawn any more vehicles except for people on the sidewalks and already parked vehicles. This is helpful for completing missions with police chases in them or for doing races at Sunshine Autos. You will also notice that the drivers you have paused will still be there at the same location, including their vehicles. The only way to exit out of this glitch is to enable the bigbang code. Note: To increase the effectiveness of this glitch, pause more drivers inside of vehicles (about five to ten), especially to police cars.



Vehicle morph
To morph with vehicles easily, break off any vehicle that has doors on it (Caddy or bike recommended). Park your vehicle directly next to a clothes icon. At this point, align the vehicle in the middle of it. When you come out, immediately enter back in then accelerate or reverse. Another better way of doing this is to enter inside the vehicle while touching the clothes icon at the same time. Note: The basic controls for driving either your morphed bike or car are as follows: [Shift] is accelerate, [Ctrl] to reverse or brake. [Left] and [Right] to steer.



Phantom driver
Stop in front of any car and shoot at the window. As soon as the driver gets out of the car, immediately press [F1] for the replay effect then press the key again. The driver will be paused. You can even go through his body. You will notice that you cannot go into the driver's side of the door, but you can go in the passenger side if there was no one seated in it before. If you go inside the car on the passenger side you will be trapped there. Note: Do this glitch if you want to be hijack proof on the driver's side of the door.
