Best Order for SA Gameplay?

[Tashan]

Hello friends.

 

I have just completed my 1st 100% SA Completion. It took me atleast a month to complete the game. I thought to understand the order of missions best in terms of making gameplay interesting from all of you.

 

It would be great to know how you all start the SA Gameplay??

 

How you begin every mission and side missions (including property brought) and whats best time for every mission and in which areas etc. etc. ..???

 

Please share the "order of missions" (including every item of 100% checklist in short-details).

Also any hidden advantages like emplaced minigun glitch, indestructible Sabre and other cars and more interesting glitches.

 

This will help me a lot in my second play.

 

Thanks

 

Note: As rewards rhino and hydra were delivered and boost in stats including infinite ammo, but the Armor stat is just 150 (and no boost of upto 200). Are there any more rewards received besides the above??

1. After being dropped off by CRASH, I get the Body armour and mini-SMG from under the bridges, the Tec-9 off the roof and then Ride to the Fire Truck and do the Firefighting missions.

2. With money earned buy Willowfield, Jefferson and beach safe houses.

3. Do the Burglary missions.

4. Do the Gang Tags (with can on roof)

5. Steal the Shamal fly in circles for 12 minutes to earn the Airfield gate pass.

6. Pickup the M4 assault rifle and the Desert Eagle, and as many Molotov Cocktails as possible.

7. Depending on the saves I fly CJ into San Fierro to met Katy. (Usually it holds over from previous game saves glitch).

Now CJ is ready to take on the world.

After that it's whatever...

I use the HEAT missile launcher (from the airport/pueblo) for Outrider, Mike Toreno, Interdiction, Verticle Bird missions.

Use Jet Pact from Black Project for collecting the Horseshoes, Up, Up, and Away and Misappropriation.

Use Helicopter to get to Body Harvast and Interdiction and to do Oysters when I bother with them.

I could go into more detail on these and more missions but it would take a lot of space.

he he.. yea! thnks lil weasel. SA is huge and givin complt details is not easy but interesting to note about your style.

 

I am just begun to SA with 100% so loads remaining to get proper exploration with perfect order.

 

Also, forgot to mention with above a little doubt abut sea-sparrow minigun!..

Does it really work??

 

Are sea sparrows capable to shoot (eqipped with mini-gun, like hunter) since many mission guides, namely,Rarusk has mentioned about using sea-sparrow TO SHOOT esp. for Misappropriation mission but it does not.

Is there any special sea-sparrow in the game??

 

[lil weasel]

Sea Sparrow is equipped with a .50 cal machine gun under the body on portside float.

For that mission land (copter or jetpack) just out of range (East) of the Pueblo. Approach from north with Sniper-Rifle. It does a good job of taking out the prime target. Then run up using the M4 to splatter any interferance, grab the bag and retreat. Take it this way and you won't have to bother with a long fruitless air chase. Interesting thing about this mission is that the USA FBI are armed with AK47 rifles...so using the M4 will outrange them. Wipe them out collect the ammo and the HEAT Missle launcher, if you want.

After being dropped off I wander around, getting Ammo and Armor, make sure to eat too before the next step. I avoid Grove Street so CJ doesn't say the "Grove Street..." intro

-Waste a few drug dealers, often seen in Las Colinas or Jefferson, 5 drug dealers buys your safehouse in El Corona. It has a garage and is near the airport and freeway. Save the game, save again if you have to, you want the clock to be near 15:00 or so, maybe even 17:00

 

-Just before 20:00 get the Boxville in Ganton for Burglary, drive West but do not cross the tracks, as soon as 20:00 hit activate burglary - cross the tracks and find 2 houses together somewhere behind smoke's house, park in between. Don't worry about being quiet, run straight in, grab the tv and walk out to the truck, also ignore any people that might be awake inside and also grab any money left on the coffee table. Drop the tv in the truck and run to the house next door, grab the tv and go to the truck, alternate between the 2 houses. If you're fast enough you should get at least 40 tvs. The Cops count never reaches 0 if you keep alternating houses. If for some reason you don't see 2 houses together right away behind smoke's house, reload the game and try again.

 

-After every save go to off track betting and bet 10% of your cash on horse 4 if it has 10:1 odds or 5 if it has 12:1 odds, exit machine and reenter if odds are not what you want. Lose? Try Again. Lose? Bet 15% or more. Lose? RELOAD and repeat.

After you win, consider any side missions, I chose Firefighter First to become fireproof. Here is my to do list at a new game, I do all non-cheat items first. Firefighter was pretty easy when you start the mission near the bend near Blueberry.

 

Use logic - don't try to complete 8track racing unless your driving skill is 100%.

I preferred to get max health first BEFORE doing paramedic, doing Paramedic from All Saints Hospital is quite easy.

Doing most of the vehicle missions will only boost your driving skill 20% or so but you don't need max skill to do side missions.

Get max Bike skill and max SMG skill, then do Vigilante with a cop bike. Recruit a GSF to ride with you, and try never to stop the bike.

I call the 100th gang tag the one under the overpass that enters Ganton. If you try to do this one outright it will trigger the "Grove Street... " intro, if you get in a police vehicle, start vigilante, get out of the vehicle, spray the tag, then leave the area and cancel the mission all is good, 100th tag sprayed and intro still intact.

 

 

Remember to eat lot. At the snack machines eat 10 snacks or more, especially at first while you're building up muscle, remember the outdoor gym in verona beach is there. Once your muscle is maxxed the only way to lose it is if you have no fat, so make sure to keep the fat level at least 15%

Items with a * you may want to use cheat (no cops) - I use a program called GTASA No Cheat or SACC to reset cheat count so the game won't nag you when you save a game.
