Vice City Question

I know that you can increase your health by picking up a prostitute, but how do you pick her up?

Stop your car next to one during the night.

If I remember correctly, you need a sports car and $50. I don't think you need to seek them out, just find a girl in a short skirt. Pull up next to her, she gets in, then you drive to a secluded spot and wait for the car to start a-rockin'.

Not quite all the info you need.

It needs to be a fairly expensive looking car with no damage. Pull up to any one of the sleezy looking girls at night and honk your horn. Keep honking until she gets in. Then, drive to any grassy area and stop the car. The car will start shaking as your life goes up and money goes down. Then, when it stops going up, get out of the car. Then kill the hooker and take your money back.

Why not...no reason to not have you cake and eat it to, so to speak.

We're still talking about Vice City, right?

A few more caveats... first, you have to be damaged (below 100%). If you're only a LITTLE damaged, your health can go up to 125% (more after you do certain things).

The car actually doesn't HAVE to be nice and undamaged. I've gotten it to work with damaged gang cars, for instance. I think it might be easier with a mint sport car, though.

Also it has to be a car with a hard top. The hookers won't get into convertables. They won't get into police cars or on the back of motorcycles either.

Really? Im still trying to get 100% on the GTA3 part of the double pack but they get in convertables in that. Is it different in VC?

Come on, the rules for gettin' your freak on in GTA aint that hard to figure out (uh huh huh huh, I said "hard" )

- ANY regular car will work; no cop cars (duh), ambulances, firetrucks, armored cars, delivery trucks, motorcycles, helicopters, tanks or taxis. They WILL get in convertibles, but will immediately get out when you stop the car, and maybe before you get all the "health bonus" you want.

- They WILL get in to give you extra health even if you have 100%. In GTA 3 you max out at 125% and can save the game with your bonus, while in GTAVC you lose everything above 100% if you save it.

- You MUST find a fairly secluded spot (behind some bushes, a deserted alley, etc). Parking on an open grass lot will not work.

- Getting into an ambulance will reset your health down to 100% if you have more than that.

I believe the most health points you get from this is about 50 or 60, so you get the biggest benefit by having 100% to start with and getting the bonus right before a dangerous mission.

And really, why kill her ? You'll be a multi-millionaire when you finish the game, so why begrudge a hard-working girl a few measly bucks for helping you out ? Have a heart already

Killing hookers without having to worry about dumping the body, and you are questioning us why we do it? sheesh.

I have yet to find a grassy spot anywhere on the map where I couldn't get the hooker trick to work.

As long as its away from people, then yeah it'll work.

A patch of grass next to a busy street won't work though. That's what I was trying to say.
