Grand Theft Auto III Unique Vehicle Guide

[fnxrak]

Yeah but I'm pretty good on making the jump now and for my surprise my last playthrough did them on a row both vigilante and firefighter and it wasn't too bad either of them.

Anyway this is cool since it still doesn't make it work for mobile but I'm a step ahead now since I can now exit the taxi and trigger the mission outside of it, unfortunately it seems to trigger when I press the enter vehicle button so it still no good but advancing on the problem.

Edit:

Well I can confirm it does not work on PS2/PS3 using the control#4 in the set controllers the buttons are different and it does not trigger the mission with the look behind button

That's unfortunate. Always more difficulty on Console and Mobile. Surely the hardest Platforms to play GTA on. I am actually glad I do it like that. If I can do it on the hard Platforms, doing it on PC won't even phase me if I ever wanted to get PC Versions of GTA...It just seems easier in many ways...

[fnxrak]

Ok so my PS2 game seems to be a bit less glitchy than my PC in this matter now it's possible to do the taxi fare on a police car but it's time trigger related, whenever I let the player enter the vehicle and close the door and fully be inside the police vehicle it will trigger the vigilante missions but if I release the button just before he closes the door the taxi fare missions start instead, so yes it's possible to amke DP police vehicles too on PS2 but whenever I do this in the PC the game becomes glitchy and usually gives me multiple passengers or even multiple vigilante missions at the same time, but tried it a few times in PS2 and nothing just either normal vigilante or normal taxi fares.

The glitch that prevents from doing taxi fare mission afterwards if it triggers vigilante remains but if it trigger the taxi it won't disable them.

edit

DAMN lolol now I can't reproduce the multiple fares in PC either lololol WTF

That's how it was for me on PS2. One time when I did try and make a Police Car in DP form, it worked (but I messed up the Crusher...Surprisingly LOL), but then on the next try, that is when I saw Taxi AND Vigilante being activated and targets all over the map and super glitchy, so I just reloaded and said f*ck it, I will just do it how I always do it (normal), etc, etc...

 

You have to get the timing just right, probably...

Yeah I guess it will get rather jut right or just bad LOLOLOL now I was only getting it just right but I wanted to get just wrong LOLOLOL finally after quite a few tries I got it LOLOLOLOL

Man, I wish there was a way to use the Crusher in free roam on the Mobile Version! I also want to know if the BP Barracks OL can be converted, in general on Mobile. I know it's accepted by the Crusher, but on Mobile, since the passenger will get out and then back in, Claude is always too late to get back in to the Barracks OL and it doesn't work fast enough. I don't think it's even possible. Of course it's possible on PS2/3, Xbox, and PC, as I already have it BP/DP, but it's a shame not on Mobile cuz I really like that Vehicle...

I know man, that BP/DP Barracks is incredible

[Lethal Vaccine]

It's still not THAT big of a deal as PS2 is my main Save to play on and it's BP/DP on that, but I'd play the Mobile Version a bit more if I had it BP/DP. Using the AP Cheetah and AP Bobcat isn't actually that fun since the Cops ram you and YOU go flying and flip over...AP/EC Stretch isn't bad, but it's slow as hell...

 

The Barracks OL is like a wrecking ball and reminds me of Heavy Vehicles, basically...

HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

ok I've might have found the way to convert any vehicle DP at any time on the mobile version, well at least the trick worked on the PC version I'll have to try a bit on the android version now, but it should just work as well, hell I was doing it all wrong trying to make the thief to get from the passenger side, just make him follow you and the car to the crusher and once you are there with him following you, the timing has to be almost perfect he has to enter the vehicle from the drivers door and while he is entering the crusher must pick it up and just before the crusher grabs it you must press the enter vehicle only once so that the command is recognized, once the thief is completely inside the game will drop the car and at that point you can still grab the car, but it's got to be almost perfect hell it took me quite a few tries to get it. Now let's see if the car thieves will try to grab any car and most important if it does work on mobile, hopefully it will.

DAAAAAAAMN it! It doesn't work, the mobile version just makes the car go crazy and disappear once the vehicle is picked up with the thief inside, God damn it, so f*cking close and so far at the same time

Well I can only say there is still hope, although I'm guessing the very small window to pull this off just became even smaller.

No problem. That's why when it comes to III, VC, LCS, and VCS, I like only getting a 5 star wanted level and have fun with the cops then. Once you get 6 stars and the Tank comes out, the fun ends, lol...

 

I like the BP Barracks OL (Converted to BP/DP with the Crusher Glitch) the best because you can bash into the police cars and they literally go flying. The BP/DP Barracks OL is literally unstoppable. I love it. The next best for me is the 3 AP vehicles, AP/EC Stretch, AP Cheetah, and AP Bobcat.

For me the fun starts when the Tanks appear. It's so fun to dogde them and make them hit other law enforcement cars, such as those pesky Barracks OL's xD

[fnxrak]

Confirmed we have a working method to make DP vehicles and the crusher glitch to work on mobile devices, I'll be posting the video soon,

Edit: A any time method that is, we should no longer depend on missions to make them WOOOHOOOO

Edit #2: and a method for all platforms without using the taxi fare missions

Now if there was only a way to get the taxi trick on the mobile it would be great but having this one to work is definitely much more important.

Edited November 19, 2015 by fnxrak

[Lethal Vaccine]

Can you fetch a Barracks OL and try with that? If I can convert that, it would be fantastic...I could also convert my 3 EC Sports Cars!

[fnxrak]

The Barracks OL I have some doubts, I'll have to give it a try tomorrow with a mission just to practice, the mobile commands are the worst for this kind of moves but if was able to make the emergency vehicles crane to work too I can make that almost for certain. BTW I think this was mentioned before but I can at least double confirm that the emergency vehicles crane also works to make "ghost" vehicles but does not grant the DP form to the vehicles once they are saved in garages.

Edited November 19, 2015 by fnxrak

[Lethal Vaccine]

Thanks a lot man!!!

 

Very good to point that out with the EV Crane. I never knew that actually worked...

[Fooking Rekt]

@Fnxrak When is the video about the DP vehicles for Mobile done?

[fnxrak]

In the makings but don't get your hopes high to much as the video itself it's still basically at 0, I'm still preparing a few things and testing some others before going to record the footage.

[MrMyster]

How did you DP the barracks OL on the mobile? I did it 1 TIME on my 3rd try, but now ive been trying to do it for 3 DAYS straight now and its giving me such a headache... I can DP any of the other son of a gun cars but this one is giving me such an issue > Is there any secret? Maybe a video? I know it takes that extra second because its a larger vehicle.

 

How i remember it was a little glitchy and i had to move the left stick a little when exiting so claude wouldnt fall down after the passenger gets out and thats how i caught it before the crusher lifted it.

Edited November 25, 2015 by MrMyster

[fnxrak]

Militia hasn't done it yet, but I can explain it again, so maybe you can redo it, while I'm in the makings of the video, as it will take a while yet to be released, get the Barracks OL from "Arms Shortage" and have the mission "Kambu Bust Out" available as it's the very next mission with passenger that you can use to perform the trick, enter the mission release the guy and go retrieve the Barracks from you garage and head to the crusher. Now an important detail is you have crash the barracks so that the passengers door comes out, saving you precious miliseconds, place the Barracks near the pickup place but not inside it, exit it and grab the nearby Pony that is in the scrapyard place it in the pick up area and exit it, while the crusher is grabbing and destroying the Pony go get the Barracks place it like you would normally do to perform the trick with the drivers door blocked, and wait until the magnet returns to it's place, for some reason it's not the same as if you only would use the Barracks and it should be enough, now the trick is to move the player a bit as you exit the Barracks this way he won't be knocked down and will also save you precious seconds. Now don't get me wrong it might not work all the time, but it did work for me

[Lethal Vaccine]

@fnxrak, the problem is that I use Kambu Bust Out to make the Bobcat into DP form, so now it's AP. AP Bobcat > BP/DP Barracks OL (by properties).

 

However, in Kambu Bust Out, you can actually DP MULTIPLE Vehicles at the same time using the SAME guy.

 

There just isn't enough Story Missions with a Passenger in the front seat to DP ALL the Vehicles. I was able to DP all of the Vehicles EXCEPT 4 of them on Mobile. I couldn't DP the Barracks OL, I even tried, but had no luck. Same outcome every time. I didn't even get to DP the EC Cheetah/Stinger/Infernus simply cuz I have no more passenger in my Vehicle...

 

Thing is, I have the SAME 13 Vehicles on my PS2 Save and on PS2, I have EVERYTHING converted to DP except the Unique/EC Corpse Manana, but that one should NOT be made into DP form since it has the dead body in the back and to see it, you NEED TO damage the car. If it's DP, you wouldn't be able to see it ever again.

[fnxrak]

It's possible to make all vehicles DP if you either use Rumble or the new trick, this last one won't work with the Barracks OL however, the thieves won't try to jack it so a mission is mandatory for this one and since it's a big vehicle I advise to make it right after you get it, when the garage is not full. The thieves trick however has a big downside the Mafia problem easily done with BP vehicles like the Bobcat or the Cheetah form Turismo but luck based in the EC "Grand Theft Auto" mission vehicles.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Nope. I used Rumble to make one of them DP. Thing is, the guy who is with you during Rumble WILL NOT GET BACK INTO YOUR CAR once you make it DP. In fact, you can kill the Red Nine. Once you use him once to do the Crusher, he will stand there on the grass forever and won't get back into any other Vehicle...So it's impossible to use him again for other Special Vehicles. I tried this months ago already...

 

Idc about DP'ing the Vehicles, since I rather play on PS2 anyways and everything is converted in that Save. It's only Mobile where I am missing a few of them to make DP.

[fnxrak]

Dude you can reuse him failing the mission by simply using a weapon or a car against the purple gang members, you can't say it's not possile just because you don't want mission failures LOLOLOL

[Lethal Vaccine]

I am talking about NO FAILURES. I have 79 Attempts for Mobile and 78 Attempts for PS2. On PS2, I passed with the AP Cheetah. On Mobile, I failed. I am not trying to fail Missions over and over. You can only use Rumble ONCE and PASS it to make a Vehicle DP. In Kambu Bust Out, however, you can make MULTIPLE Vehicles DP AND PASS THE MISSION once you make them all DP.

 

I don't fail for any reason. I only fail if nothing is possible, like getting the AP/EC Stretch with passing. It's impossible, thus HAVE to fail. But I PASS when I can. I don't do the Starter Save with failing Give Me Liberty either, cuz it adds +1. 78 is the absolute lowest you can have WHILE obtaining all 13...

 

Well, you need to fail to get the EP/EC Securicar, so I guess 79 Attempts if you get that instead of the AP Cheetah. AP Cheetah > EP/EC Securicar.

Edited November 25, 2015 by Militia

[fnxrak]

Yeah but that's your personal challenge, it's like mine in the SA playthrough with no real missed bullets or no car respray as much as possible, it doesn't mean it's not an available trick, hell if I could get for example the FI mothership without getting killed I would (well maybe now it might be possible, with the duplicating trick) but anyways if not I don't care getting wasted once to get it I prefer to always get it.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Well, yes, that is what I said above. When I am FORCED to do something, I will do it. But I am not FORCED to actually fail anything in III, so I don't. Choosing to fail Give Me Liberty just adds another attempt and I don't want that. The only Stats I care for are:

 

Total Playing Time (I Go as Fast as Possible for All GTA's)

Game Completion (Always Reaching 100%)

0 Deaths/Busted/Cheats (3 Deaths Allowed in SA - ONLY 3! All Stats at 0 for Every Other GTA)

Minimum Mission Failures (Only Failing to Obtain Special Vehicles Which Require It)

 

In the case of III, you only need to fail for the BP/FP Securicar, Unique/EC Corpse Manana, AP/EC Stretch, BP/FP Trashmaster, and the EC Stinger/Cheetah/Infernus. 5 Failures = 78 Attempts and 73 out of 73 Missions Passed.

fnxrak, i want to thank you so much cc: your tip about the passenger door being off helped immensely, got it on my first try. You freakin awesome. Yeah i tried not to get a mission fail on turismo but i just dont think its possible and i dont want my ocd to get the better of me to jump all the way back. I have a similar "theme" to my save but i also try to limit my pedestrian deaths and time, even though the deaths are kind of irregardless since they tally them with gang member deaths/mission targets.

Edited November 25, 2015 by MrMyster

[fnxrak]

About the turismo try to use a firetruck and use the siren this can make the cheetah stop like it happen in normal traffic, now if you want to do it later on the game when the mafia tries to shoot you the only way I found was using a BP vehicle to avoid the mafia and then make the cheetah flip over although this is basically luck based.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Nice! That's good you were able to make it DP! I couldn't even do it on iOS, however it's done on PS2 which I rather it on, anyways. I didn't even think to chop the doors off. That extra second or two is key to making it DP. I hope I can at least make my EC Cheetah/Stinger/Infernus DP on iOS using a Car Thief. Waiting on a Video to see how it's done...

[fnxrak]

Yeah it's possible alright I just got a thief from Hepburn Highs and went through the borgnine taxi depot from the back to the crusher avoiding the mafia so it's possible to make DP like these, and already twice have I made the trick in android so making in IOs should be the same.

[Lethal Vaccine]

You even got to DP the Barracks OL on Android with Thief?
