*** The One & Only GTA: San Andreas Help & Tips Thread ***
 

OK. I'll start. Anyone have a tip or trick for the loading that fool truck with the forklift in "Robbing Uncle Sam." Best I've done is 4 of 6 before Ryder buys it. Argh!

your best bet is to start loading the boxes into the back of the truck after the first 2 boxes jump out of the forklift and go kill the guys yourself,then hop back into the forklift, put another box in the truck and then kill the guys yourself, and repeat, Ryder is useless,



I have beaten all of Los Santos and this was the only mission that I did not beat the first time

I did it on the first try, just get off the forklift after you load a box, kill the guys and then load another. repeat till complete.

I jumped the fence but didn't open it for Ryder; instead I went in killed all the guards then went into the warehouse and moved all the boxes outside to where Ryder will park the truck. Then I would go open the gate for Ryder then I would load two boxes shoot any guards and the load two more boxes until I had them all. Liek Corky said RYDER IS USELESS he's a liability not an asset.

That's the truth. THANKS!

Very interesting strategy, havent thought of that one. I beat it but it took a lot of practice with the fork lifts and I started with the 2 outside.

Just wish I could find that damn truck again for home invasions.

That's what I love about the GTA series. There are so many ways to complete missions which relies on creativity.

The black truck is right around the corner from CJ's house.

Great. Now the stupid dance-o-thon has me stumped on "Life's a Beach" for OG. A freaking puzzle???? Best I can do is 3200 points or so.

Practice makes perfect.

If Mr. No Rhythem a.k.a Mr. Bad hand eye coordination can beat Life's a Beach, you sure as hell can too. It took me many times but I got through it.

Okay, I read in another thread about the "tripskip", anyone got details on how that works?

Tripskip, if you fail a mission, go back to the person who gave the mission to you and start the mission again. Once your in a vehicle, it will say trip skip on the bottom, then you hit the right D pad button (I think). It will then say Later that day... and you will be wherever the mission takes place.

When I was reading the manual and saw 'Trip Skip', I thought when you pressed the button, CJ would do a gangsta dance or something (like a C Walk). Imagine my disappointment.

Argh! You mean the half dozen times I've tried isn't practice enough?!? :) I'm in hell. (And that's a long-ass drive from CJ's!)

half dozen times? It took me even longer. Hang in there buddy. :)

that mission took me like 6 try's. 7 if you count the time i got frustrated and capped everybody. a good way to get MP5s, not a good way to complete the misson.

btw, the home invasion truck is across the street from the ganton gym. south. in the projects with all the laundry hanging across the houses.

Same here. Don't feel bad. I was also stuck on the low rider competition for a while. I guess this is what i get for avoiding every dance game ever released.

Well, I'd hoped to move beyond Los Santos by the weekend, but I've made it as far as landing a girlfriend and starting a gang war. (Only in GTA!)

I still haven't adjusted to how "complicated" the overall misison/game structure is. Having to keep all the plates spinning -- working out, fending off gang attacks, keeping your squeeze happy, OH AND COMPLETING MISSIONS. :)

I just got out of Los Santos, but I think I might revert back to an earlier save, so I can increase my stats, territories, and money before I continue on.

Any tips and suggestions on how to beat "Supply Lines" and 555-We-Tip

Can somebody also tell me how to use spoiler tags


Edit: Beat 555-we-tip. Supply lines is impossible however, I don't care what anybody says. When somebody beats it, let me know. :(

When the heck does "Victim" store...open up???....I have just gotten past the Green Sabre Mission and unlocked the new rural area and San Fierro.

Also...what types of cars can you mod?? I know the savannah and blade...but what other types can you do?? Thanks.

I belive Victim opens with Las Vegas (I can't remember the official name)

I thing that helped me out on the beach dance mission was pressing the buttons more with the beat instead of trying to get the circle perfectly centered.

Maybe that's what took me so long ... I muted the music and got about 2 feet from the screen. Heh.

You can mod just about any car at this place called Trans Fender it near the Downtown/Vinewood area it only unlocks after a mission I forget wich one but if you have done the Green Saber mission it's already unlocked for you. There will be different mods depending on what kinda car you bring in. I got a bright green SUV on gold wires w/NOS. Grove St. 4 Life :D
also got a hot pink pimp car that fills out my sex appeal meter when I drive it.

To break into houses, you get the balck truck, but how do you know which houses to hit?
