Grand Theft Auto III Unique Vehicle Guide

[Lethal Vaccine]

Yeah, I can't fly the Dodo for sh*t, but that doesn't really mean much of anything for being a Unique Vehicle or not...

 

As for the Import/Export Garage, I just DRIVE IT to Portland. No need to fly it there...

[BeingARK]

I can give you a proof!

 

Here read the description carefully!

Yeah, my Starter Save is 50%.......This one is 53%.

 

But what does this have to do with Special Vehicles? If there was an ACTUAL "Lime Green" Stallion, where to get it? He didn't do any Story Missions, so I don't see how he has one, or if one even exists...

Edited March 2, 2015 by Militia

[BeingARK]

Yeah this is what MESSING WITH MY HEAD!!!!! Lol I Don't Know how he got It but since I got it so I am happy but how he got it? Well its an EC Vehicle man so its definitely SPECIAL!

And in the Shoresidevale Garage he got TOYz VAN!

[Lethal Vaccine]

These are NOT Special.....Toyz Van is obtained via going to a Toyz Van parked in 3 locations around the map to do the Toyz RC Missions. Once mission passed, you can store it in a Garage. Not Special at all.

 

The EC Kuruma is from Give Me Liberty, which clearly the guy says he did NOT do, so how does he even have it?

 

I don't trust it. There is no EC Stallion...

[BeingARK]

Well I didn't said that the TOYz VAN is Special as for the Kuruma it is defintley from ''Give Me LIBERTY'' but for the EC Stallion this will be a MOD I think but HOW!!!!!!!!!

[Lethal Vaccine]

If it's a mod, I know nothing, as I don't touch mods or cheats

[BeingARK]

Hey he did Give Me Liberty and Luigi's Girl mission I TESTED the save and it feels great!!!!

[Lethal Vaccine]

Well, then the DESCRIPTION is WRONG.

 

It says that Give Me Liberty and Luigi's Girls was NOT passed. I guess that is how he got the EC Teal Kuruma. But the EC Lime Green Stallion is still questionable. I don't think an EC Stallion even exists. Not sure which mission it could even come from, as well.

 

For my Starter Save in III, I do Luigi's Girls, but no other missions after that, until I finish everything else...I don't have 53% like the Starter Save you are talking about, but I have 50%. Just like in VC, you CAN get to 44% in a Starter Save, but I only reach 42% due to a couple complications...

[lol232]

I can give you a proof!

 

Here read the description carefully!

These EC vehicles were achieved by modding, man. Sorry to break it to you, it's not available in normal games. I know that because I knew Arsen and he was the one who placed the Lemon Yellow Stallion over there.

 

 

You should also make note that the EP/EC Securicar Method is a PC Only Method. How do you expect me to use the cheap replay feature to get it? You can't. You need a BP/DP Barracks OL to get it via the PS2 Method.

It's not my problem man, you should get GTA III on PC. It's much easier thas way.

I'm not gonna change that, and most of the today's GTA III community plays on PC. The PS2 version is irrelevant.

Just kidding, yeah, I'll update it soon, don't worry.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Why would anyone want to MOD a Starter Save? Isn't that kinda defeating the purpose? Might as well cheat the Tank and BF-Injection early as well if that's the case...

 

Why would I need it for PC? 9 out of 10 of my GTA Games play on my backward compatible PS3. PC lacks the LCS/VCS and V (as of now). So only 6 of them play on PC, unlike 9 on PS3. Thus, Backward Compatible PS3 > PC for GTA Games. The only GTA Game I can NOT play on my PS3 is Chinatown Wars, which I got for my iPhone 6. And, if I don't like cheating/modding/hacking or obsessed with high quality textures, what good would a PC Version do for me? Absolutely nothing

 

And like you said.....PC much easier. I don't like taking the easy way out...I like the suspense if I am gonna be busted or not by a cop, since I can NOT rotate the camera 360 degrees like PC can do. Everything on PC is always easier Same for VC. Can't rotate camera.

 

Anyways, here is the Video for the method EVERYONE can use and not just on one version of the Game:

 

 

 

Notice, he's playing on PC. So is fnxrak playing on PC, but they obtain it the PS2 method.....Why? For the greater challenge.

 

I am still baffled as why there is a DP Sentinel listed in this Guide when it's only Double Damage (DD). That's why the property is lost once you put in a Garage, cuz it's NOT DP. It's only DD, which isn't even a property, just like the LOCKED Doors you can get in GTA III. Gone once put in a Garage, thus it shouldn't really be listed if it's not an actual Special Vehicles...If you're adding DD Vehicles to the Guide, you might as well add the DD Mafia Sentinel from Sayonara Salvatore, as well...

 

The pushing through the ground method is kinda un-needed for most of the Special Vehicles considering making it a Ghost (and eventually DP) and driving it through the Porter Tunnel to the SI or SSV Garage early is MUCH EASIER. In fact, the ONLY Special Vehicle you need to do this with is the BP/FP Securicar and the Corpse Manana (unless you want to make it DP). Every other Vehicle can be driven through the Porter Tunnel as a Ghost. As for the BP/FP Trashmaster, it's much easier to leave in memory than trying to get it to land on the underground platform.

Come on man, haven't you noticed the hidden text below what I wrote above?

Edited March 3, 2015 by lol232

[Lethal Vaccine]

Son of a bitch!

 

I missed it! I actually didn't see it until JUST now.

[BeingARK]

Thank's for making this clear lol32 well its a mod then i will still continue the starter save since I am not the one to use the mod right? LOLOLOL. I will ditch the AP Cheetah for this!

I meant that I didn't use the mod to get I am just a user of this STARTER SAVE!

[Lethal Vaccine]

Yeah, the only Special Vehicle in a Starter Save is the EC Teal Kuruma from Give Me Liberty. Some people choose to do a Starter Save without passing Give Me Liberty, as well. Problem is, doing it like that will add +1 to missions attempted stat. I like as clean of stats as I can get, therefore I PASS Give Me Liberty and Luigi's Girls and store the EC Kuruma in Portland. Then eventually I make it DP/EC and bring it to the SSV Garage early.

 

As for the BP/EP/FP Cheetah, it's easy to get and there is even a newer method which allows you to PASS Turismo and obtain it. It's a bit harder but not THAT bad. Furthermore, "Turismo" can be done unlimited amount of times. So even AFTER 100%, you can obtain it. Then make it DP with the Crusher. Now you got an AP Cheetah. It's a great Vehicle. However, I like the BP/DP Barracks OL the most as it smashes vehicles to oblivion. Completely unstoppable with wanted level 1 through 5 stars. 6 stars is pathetic as once an NPC Tank runs into your vehicle, you're WASTED. I usually just stay on 5 stars and have fun...

 

This happens in III, VC, LCS, and VCS. SA is the only GTA Game where if a Tank runs into your vehicle, it will NOT get destroyed, especially if it's AP, or just DP...

Edited March 5, 2015 by Militia

[BeingARK]

Yeah i hate when the Tanker come's but now I am tired of collecting Special Vehicles then losing them no matter what I do!

[Lethal Vaccine]

As I said to you in PM. You are not doing it right.

 

The way you make a backup that is for SURE containing all Special Vehicles without losing them is simply by making a backup after every Special Vehicle you obtain. And when you get the NEXT Special Vehicle, you Save, Reload, and CHECK on all of your Vehicles. If they are there, you make a new backup. If something disappears, you RELOAD a previous Save on your USB Drive or on your PC, etc, etc, etc. It's really easy, you just gotta think and have a strategy.

 

But hey, nobody is holding a gun to your head to collect. Myself and a few others are quite good at it and it relaxes us and we find it fun, thus we continue doing it. If I didn't like doing it, I wouldn't do it.

Your'e right but you know having Special Vehicles Collection make's me feel better.

[Lethal Vaccine]

That's like how I feel. 100% Completion with Perfect Stats isn't good enough. That's too easy for me. I NEED to have the maximum Special Vehicles or as many as I can obtain to make the Save worth it...

[Lethal Vaccine]

So is this the FINAL Special Vehicles found in III? Is this it? Or is there a possibility of more being discovered?

 

Is there any UNobtainable ones present in the game that are known right now?

[fnxrak]

Nope this is pretty much it, the only ones unobtainable vehicles are the grey banshee and the purple esperanto from the beginning cutscene and that are in the ghost town and well maybe also the full winged dodo but since none of these are solid I doubt they will ever be obtainable.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Thanks for the info, man. I also wonder about VC. VC has very few Special Vehicles with immunities. There may be a lot of EC Vehicles, but not many Proof Vehicles. I wonder if there is anything else to be found in VC?

Edited March 13, 2015 by Militia

[fnxrak]

Well from memory I can only remember the FI white admiral from the beginning (not the grey one from Guardian Angels) but it's only otainable with cheats, and then there's all other vehiles that now are obtainable with the replay trick, but finding a cheatless way for PS version it will be hard, the vehicles were actually known before the trick was found and up until now they were completely unobtainable.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Yes, I saw the Video from 4emp2008 about the AP/EC White Admiral in the beginning of the game with cheats. But even if it were obtainable, it's useless since there is already an AP/EC Silver Admiral and we can obtain the EC White Admiral without the AP.

 

Yeah, but supposedly the Sanchez in Dirtring was said to be AP. But it's now said to be only BP/EP/FP and not DP...

 

I just hope they become obtainable on PS2 one day. But still, that isn't very many in VC when you compare it to games like SA, LCS, and VCS. In these games, there is SO many...

 

I am currently working on my VCS Starter Save. Should be done in a couple days and I can finally start the Story. In VCS, you can get around 49% Completion before the second mission in the game. But this is my SECOND VCS Save File as I already did one last July 2014 and got 12 Special Vehicles. Now I am doing it again and getting another 12, to make 24. I will do more playthroughs, too, since I am keeping this Starter Save like I did for my LCS Starter Save. I got 72 total Special Vehicles in LCS, so now it's time to build a collection for VCS. However, I will probably only go for about 40-ish Special Vehicles for VCS.

What exactly is the Rhino Tank's immunities?

 

BP/EP? BP/FP? BP/EP/FP?

 

The Big Green Rhino in III, VC, LCS, and VCS is WAY better than the Rhino in SA, but how come the Rhino in these other games can outlive the Rhino in SA? The one in SA blows up and catches on fire very quickly, it appears. But if it's the same immunities as III and the likes, why does III's last so long?

 

I think the Rhino Tank in Chinatown Wars is also BP/EP, or BP/FP or something like that...

The Rhino that spawns at Phil's place in Fort Staunton is BP/EP.

 

[offtopic]

Interestingly, I just found out storing a Rhino spawned by the cheat in a save garage actually does not put it into a garage at all. Instead, its data is located in an entirely different part of the save file, which explains why spawned Rhinos never disappear. Through save editing, it's possible to change this vehicle to be any vehicle you want! So, in theory, you can have any vehicle you want remain permanently on the map without needing to put it in your garage! I'm thinking it might also be possible to spawn heavy vehicles this way, but I'm not sure. I'll have to do some investigating.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Holy sh*t, that's neat! Thanks for the info, as well.

 

BP/EP is a strange combination. They should of just made it BP/EP/FP, which is more "normal."

 

So the EV Crane is NOT BP/EP? Just the "Army Base" in Staunton Island where the Barracks and Tank are located? Or both of them are BP/EP from Crane and Army?

Edited April 20, 2015 by Militia

[thehambone]

I agree, it is strange.

 

I forgot about the EV crane... I'll have a look at that.

 

EDIT: Yeah, the EV crane's Rhino is the same as Fort Staunton's: BP/EP.

Edited April 20, 2015 by thehambone

[Lethal Vaccine]

Thanks. Either way, I can go to the Army Base to get the Tank if I wanted it that badly. But the EV Crane usually is more convenient...

 

As what you said in the "Ambulance Mission" Topic, yeah, that could work with the Heavy Vehicles. That is similar to Chinatown Wars in that you can obtain an AP Cabbie and AP Spanish Lords Burrito. The AP Cabbie is funny as it's usually just BP, but when you take a Cabbie to any destination on the map, and when you get there, quickly jack it back from him, it's AP....Forever as long as it isn't in your Garage, which turns it back to only BP. You can get it as many times as you want since dozens of Cabbies are found all over Liberty City. As for the Spanish Lords Burrito that is AP, you have to pass "Kenny Strikes Back" Mission before you can activate this Side Mission called "The Warehouse Raid." The Warehouse Raid has an AP Vehicle always sitting there and you can simply vault over the locked gate by putting a car next to it and jumping on the car and then over the gate. Then just run to the AP Spanish Lords Burrito, get into it, and drive it out. Another AP Vehicle that is infinitely obtainable forever, as long as it does not go into the Garage, which turns it back to BP only...

 

It's a shame, cuz all 12 of my BP Vehicles in CTW were BP/EP/FP, AP or H/AP at one time...

[Lethal Vaccine]

Here we go again!

 

I am now doing III.......Again. But this time............on Mobile I've heard that the Crusher Glitch doesn't work for Mobile, so I am gonna test some stuff out today. I hope it works. Cuz if if doesn't, it's gonna suck storing and getting 13 in this Game like I did for PS2 Version...Furthermore, only the AP/EC Stretch will be AP, unlike the BP/EP/FP Bobcat, and BP/EP/FP Cheetah converted to DP with Crusher to make them AP.

 

The BP/FP Trashmaster might be literally impossible, too, or at least leaving it in memory while completing the last 4 Portland Story Missions, how I got it on PS2. I noticed in SA Mobile, CJ wouldn't leave doors of the Vehicles open. He's be glued to the ground at the car door until it was closed. Only then could I move CJ and run away. But if the door is closed, it disappears more than likely. This will be very hard with the Trashmaster on Mobile. It might be unobtainable with that method...

 

Even the EC White Admiral in VC, you need to leave it in memory while completing a Side Mission to get the cash for a Safehouse, but if Tommy closes the door of the Admiral, it has a greater chance of disappearing.

 

We'll see how all of this works on Mobile. Completely new to me. I have both III and VC and will be working on them the next couple months. SA and CTW for Mobile is already done!
