GTA LCS Special Vehicle Guide

[McLarenMercedes MP4-15]

 

Vehicles > Stats to me anytime

But you CAN do both, though. If you pick the right Vehicles that require no Failures and/or if you pick Side Mission Vehicles that once the Side Mission is passed, it stops adding Attempts, then you can get 12 Special Vehicles with damn near the MINIMUM for Attempts. The "old me" would of agreed with this, circa 2014-15, but not anymore, since I cater to BOTH SIDES and get all Special Vehicles, while ALSO maintaining Minimum Stats throughout. If you can DO BOTH, why not do both? It's possible, so I am doing it.

 

Now, I am not saying 113 Attempts you can get in all Save Files, but just a couple Attempts for Special Vehicles that require a Failure is ok. I have anywhere from 113 Attempts (7th Save) to 125 Attempts (1st Save). It always varies depending on which 12 Special Vehicles I get in each Save and which require Pass or Failure to obtain. Furthermore, for my 1st and 3rd Save Files ONLY I used The Shoreside Redemption to make PP Vehicles, thus Failing multiple times to convert each Vehicle I wanted to be PP. If I didn't? The 1st Save would be 118 Attempts and the 3rd Save would be 116, and not 119 like it is. But the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Save all have the lowest Attempts and didn't need the Mission anymore to make PP Vehicles and I just use Firefighter or the Mission ONCE and PASS while I make one PP Vehicle.

Now that since I'm just making ONE single save, I hope it has the best vehicles ingame. I mean, stats are just a number that doesn't matter a lot in game, while PP can be felt, seen, used in game.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Yeah, and some people thrive for perfection. So no matter what, if I have the ability to do something, like get every single existing Special Vehicle in all the GTA's while keeping the Stats to a minimum, why not do it? If you're happy with average, then that's more power to you, I guess. But I don't accept average for my own Saves...It already takes quite some time to finish these GTA's off to 100%, so you might as well put in a little bit more work and do it right with keeping the Stats to a minimum and getting all the Special Vehicles per Save. One Save? That's fine. But one Save just doesn't do justice for me in LCS since the game is cake to play and most Missions are simple as is all the Special Vehicles, so I like getting them all for this game.

I spent some time for FP Kuruma and now I can conclude that it's obtainable only with om0. Also it's PSP exclusive since we must blow it up. We can ditch it without om0 during the cutscene, but we can't prepare boat near ditching point. Unfortunately, the nearest pier located around the corner, so we can't keep kuruma in sight and it vanishes.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Thanks for letting me know. I am kinda glad it's a PSP Exclusive for now. Since it's from Home Sweet Home, I'd need to start over at 0% and not 47% like I do now when I start the game over from the Starter Save. But it doesn't matter and it's completely off limits to PS2 and Mobile, anyways. I don't think I would bother getting it anyways, even though it's a "different" Special Vehicle since there is no FP/EC Kuruma. Only EC Light Blue Kuruma and H/EC Black Kuruma.

 

Also, I am 98% in the 6th Save. However, I still need 5 Special Vehicles and 4 of them come from 9MM Mayhem/Scooter Shooter and these are such a pain in the ass to get. I got the H/DP/PP Stinger today, though, and also made 2 BP/EP/FP Bikes converted to PP, too. Got the EC Speeder, as well. I just need a BP/EP/FP/PP PCJ-600, Unique/H/DP/PP Mr. Whoopee, H/DP/PP Yardie Lobo, H/DP/PP Cartel Cruiser, and H/DP/PP Patriot and I got them all and can finish the final 2 Story Missions and it's done...Again. Photos should be up in the next 2-3 days I reckon. This Save took a bit more time since I am running out of steam and 2 of the days I COULD HAVE PLAYED, I didn't. It's getting nicer outside now a days, so I don't like wasting the day away playing games...

 

Luckily once the 6th Save is finished off in 2-3 days and I take the Photos, I can finally speedrun through in the 7th Save up to More Deadly Than the Male for the final EC Speeder and Special Vehicle in general I need to obtain in the entire game through the Story Missions and once obtained, just finish to 100% Completion and then just get 10 TP Vehicles from Firefighter and make them DP and I am done with all 7 Saves, 83 total Special Vehicles, NONE OF THEM with OM0 Methods. When I get to the 7th Save in the coming week, I will start making my OM0 Save Lists of 12 Special Vehicles in each.

 

EDIT: All That's Left: Obtain H Cartel Cruiser and H Patriot, Make Both DP and PP, Pass The Shoreside Redemption While Converting the Mr. Whoopee to PP and Pass The Sicilian Gambit and it's Done!

New Hellenbach GT method found. No death, works 100%. Video soon, too tired to explain it now.

Well, if anyone knows a method to get a boat early, its obtainable. Otherwise; CIRCLE, X, DOWN, CIRCLE, X, UP, L1, L1

H conversion might work same as the Kuruma. Maybe, just maybe we can snipe the H car...

I'm telling ya - boat is not a problem. The problem is that you can't park it near ditching point, because the nearest pier is around the corner. So kuruma vanishes.

[RationalPsycho]

So, you made some progress regarding the "Taxi Driver" crash during "Caught In The Act". It's good to know that it usually works on the actual PSP.

 

 

H conversion might work same as the Kuruma. Maybe, just maybe we can snipe the H car...

 

Wait, what?! Did I miss something here? Have you actually identified the Heavy car/conversion? If you could tell me details, I will look into it myself.

[Lennart -]

I remember it being H in the my beautiful garden cutscene. So if its possible to destroy the script there and It is btw with a course, I think, you can go on top of the tunnel.

[RationalPsycho]

About that. I killed the last Colombian whilst in a vehicle via a drive-by, with "Bumps And Grinds" active, and rammed the Cartel Cruisers parked in the "beautiful garden". However, my car was NOT Heavy.

 

Also, I didn't try all courses, but the ones I did all crashed. So, I just killed Donald before she had a chance to mourn for the beautiful garden, much like I did with Maria in "Shop 'til you Strop", for the BP conversion. I got the "Mission Failed" message as soon as the cutscene ended, but the car wasn't Heavy, again.

 

What were your results?

[Lennart -]

 

Killing Donald works, so I dont see why we shouldnt try to take a look beneath the map. Maybe the car is there like its in that video?

Edited April 7, 2017 by Lennart -

[RationalPsycho]

Can't we use CheatDevice or something, to check any coordinates the script may give, what lies beneath the mansion etc? Then we can solve the "beautiful garden" mystery once and for all.

 

About the Hellenbach GT. It reminds me of "spoof" properties. Why is this even a thing? In the script, it's identified as FP/EP, whereas, during the mission itself, it behaves as if it were BP/FP/EP. Same goes for the Hearse in "The Morgue Party Candidate". At a certain point, it acts like BP/FP. However, the script mentions NOTHING about immunities during the mission, and this is indeed the case when storing it; it doesn't keep the properties after you let the garage door close down on it.

That new Video requires you to have the PCJ-600 as a prerequisite, but in my case, that just adds Attempts, so this new EP/FP Hellenbach GT Method wouldn't be used. I'll still use the old Method. The old Method was similar, minus needing a WP Bike. I don't get how this is easier or better. The other Method didn't require a Suicide, either, so...

 

Anyways, here we go again....Time to obtain the H/DP/PP Cartel Cruiser and H/DP/PP Patriot. Probably the hardest Special Vehicles from Side Missions in this game next to the FP/PP/EC Race Bikes...

Because there are 3 possible things that can happen:

-stuck beneath the map (most likely)

-fallen through the map and reappeared on the street nearby(=my video but without the shooting part being necessary) (the rarest (to me))

-both spawning like in my last video (congrats)

 

If you dont have M1lits version, you are good to go and you dont have to reload because you are unlucky. I did this on psp quite a lot (7 times) and I had it never spawn double until I used the new method.

I recommend the new method which takes like 2 to 3 minutes longer to everyone but m1lit.

[zazaza691]

WP Bike isn't required. You can use Firetruck + Sanchez method to get on the tunnel. And since this previous method worked for me only once, I think it's a cool discovery after all.

Also I'm taking my words back. Yesterday we talked with Lennart about FP Kuruma and now I have a fully working non om0 method, which will work on ps2 and mobile too. So now this vehicle is fully obtainable. Video is coming in a few days.

Nice finds also i still don't have luck with patriot.... Game crash or after starting maria mission when patriot get close game crash

[Lethal Vaccine]

100% Completion, 0 Deaths, 0 Busted, 0 Cheats, 116 Mission Attempts, 3 Pay and Spray Visits, 31 Safehouse Visits, 18:35 Total Playing Time, and 12 Special Vehicles!

 

Save File 6:

 

Portland: H/DP/PP Stinger, DP/FP/PP/TP/EC Stallion, BP/EP/FP/PP PCJ-600, BP/EP/FP/PP Sanchez

Staunton Island: Unique/DP/EC Campaign Rumpo, DP/EC Pony, EC Speeder, BP/EP/FP/PP Freeway

Shoreside Vale: Unique/H/DP/PP Mr. Whoopee, H/DP/PP Yardie Lobo, H/DP/PP Cartel Cruiser, H/DP/PP Patriot

 

Ew....31 Safehouse Visits. An all time HIGH. 22 LOW, 31 HIGH. Anyways, I finally finished this Save. Probably one of the most tiring. Not sure why, but it seemed to take a while to get this done and ambition to keep doing this is dropping significantly...

 

The Only Missions Failed: Grease Sucho to Obtain the DP/FP/PP/TP/EC Stallion, Dead Meat to Obtain the DP/EC Pony, and More Deadly Than the Male to Obtain the EC Speeder.

 

72 Special Vehicles Obtained, 11 More to Go!

 

I'll start the 7th, and final NON-OM0 Save on Monday, probably and it should also take the quickest to finish since I am not even touching a single Special Vehicle until I am OVER 90% and reach More Deadly Than the Male, since the final EC Speeder I need is from that Mission and it comes up when SSV is unlocked, at the end of the game, beyond 90%. Once I obtain the Speeder while passing the Mission, I just finish it off to 100% and then obtain 10 DP/TP Vehicles from Firefighter and make them DP and it's done. No need to make anything PP.

 

LCS 7th Save File Special Vehicles:

 

EC Speeder, DP/TP NE Taxi, DP/TP NE Cabbie, DP/TP Sentinel, DP/TP Leone Sentinel, DP/TP Sindacco Argento, DP/TP Patriot, DP/TP Rumpo, DP/TP Pony, DP/TP Moonbeam, DP/TP Perennial

 

I'll try and get the Taxi and Cabbie in NE form, but maybe not as I don't even care lol...Just want to finish these 7 Saves, then 2 OM0 Saves, and then it's time for VCS. Bored of LCS since it's the only game I've been playing over and over since mid to late February.

its H/UC Patriot from mission where sindacos trying to blow up Leone Casino i was doing livestream today where i tried to obtain it but i did but i wasnt sure if it was Heavy.... it was uc for sure but Heavy... before and after i couldnt see difference... or it wasnt heavy at all?? it is in game code...

[Lethal Vaccine]

For some reason when you break the Mission with all this OM0 stuff, during A Volatile Situation, the EC Brown Patriot with Red/Pink Bumpers can be sometimes H/EC. It's like it switches Properties with the H/EC Navy Blue Yankee from the same Mission. This was already referenced a month ago or so. Someone already said about this Patriot maybe even OVER a month ago in the Topic. Yerdna555, perhaps. I don't forget what is mentioned...

 

For me, though, I just get DP/EC Patriot and pass Mission, and then get H/DP/PP Patriot from 9MM Mayhem...Like I did yesterday...

 

When I get to my 2 OM0 Saves, the H/DP/PP/EC Yankee is more valuable than a Patriot, since I have a Patriot that is H/DP already and a Patriot with that EC from A Volatile Situation. Granted a H/DP/PP Patriot really sucks driving around as it flips over so easily and usually drives OVER TOP of Vehicles instead of pushing them out of the way. This is why I prefer H/DP/PP Vehicles that are lower to the ground. H/DP/PP Cartel Cruiser is similar to the Patriot and likes to flip over. I've ran into a Vehicle for instance driving the Patriot and it popped into the air after it hit the Vehicle and bounced off of it like a brick wall, it did a perfect backflip and then landed back on its wheels. Cool stunt, huh? But 50% of the time, it'll land directly on its back instead. It's actually a challenge to drive that thing around for a duration of more than 20-30 minutes without it flipping over. I much rather a H/DP/PP/TP/EC Banshee, H/DP/PP Stinger, H/DP/PP Yardie Lobo, H/DP/PP Kuruma, H/DP/PP/EC Sentinel, etc...All the LOW TO THE GROUND Vehicles are the better of the H/DP/PP Vehicles.

[Yerdna555]

About H/Brown Patriot.
Perhaps you forgot, but I wrote about it, I discovered it before B&G methode and saved its wrecked on the garage:

 

Hello everyone. Sorry for my bad english, I'm Russian

I been long time following the progress in the opening of a special vehicle (including on this forum). Today I decided to finally write here. The first reason - there are quite a lot of questions it in GTA: LCS. The second reason - there are a few comments on the FAQ. The third (and the main) reason - I have found a new and unique vehicle (but I do not know specifically, method of obtaining).

So, I'll start in order from the most primitive to the most interesting.

I. My questions are:

1) Just wondering. It is known that destroyed machines are stored in the garage for the PSP version, but on the PS2 - no. What about the PS Vita and mobile versions?

2) Is there some sort videos of obtaining for DP Maverick? And also - DP trucks. I tried to do it with the help of the mission "See The Sight Before Your Flight", but I did not get

II. Comments on the FAQ

1) It is strange that it was decided not to include in the guide Red Campaign Rumpo. I know that there is a blue PP Campaign Rumpo, but I believe the stupidity - to ignore the EC of one, if there is another EC of, even enhanced. Besides, Red Campaign Rumpo can be modified to PP.

2) It seems that no one wrote, but on a mission "Scrapyard Challenge" can come at any Sanchez. Including those extracted from races. FP lost (not surprisingly), but the PP remains. Thus, we can at any time get DP / PP / UC Sanchez

3) As for DP Wayne's bike: I personally checked - it can be extracted. The easiest way to block road on the alley (Wayne will not be able to go). Most importantly - do not give Wayne shoot a shotgun, or else he will not then sit on the bike. It is better not to go too far from him. I tested on PSP.

4) The list of impossible DP machines incorrect.Correctly. - Rhino,Linerunner, Firetruck, Trashmaster, Enforcer, Securicar, Coach and Flatbed. And the Bus but it is not available without cheating. DP Blista can be obtained (unlike GTA 3). Difficulties in obtaining my only problems with the Mule / Mr.Wongs / Triad Fish Van, Barracks OL (both models) and Maverick. And I will be very happy if someone explain to me - how they can make the DP

III. Heavy / Dark Brown Patriot (PSP only, probably):

It all started with the fact that I tried to get H / Blue Yankee with trick, recently opened my compatriot zazaza691. I also used OM0 glitch with Firetruck, not Taxi. The rest is done the same way as in the Lennart video. Well, appeared Dark Brown Patriot (already after I brought Yankee to the casino) came to the Casino and the game wrote that there is a bomb, and it should be taken away immediately. After this mission is passed and immediately started cutscene with real car bomb(Yankee). Be sure to destroy the Yankee to reach the casino, or the remnants of Patriot disappear. After that it remains hit exploded Patriot to the garage, but that is sooo hard. Also, I had problems with quick saves of the emulator PPSSPP, emulator often crashes when loading quicksaves (usually after the attack of Ma's killers). But still .... I DID IT.

Unfortunately, I did not understand - how to make sure that the game did come the car bomb. One time, I have only got to more Sindacco Argento was the Heavy, but it is not very interesting, because exist Heavy and even Heavy / FP Sindacco Argento.

It would be very nice if someone wants to understand this in more detail. As evidence - i send savegame with this vehicle (USA version for PSP). And also - PSPSTATES emulator in these moments (vorking with any language of USA version for the PSP, but I advise you to download a version with russian language, because emulator's saves not always working correctly in another language). In "Until Mission" folder, use the number 5, that is where there is the Heavy Patriot. The rest - just the other episodes of this mission.

 

 

Recently I decided to dig deeper in this place. And found that it can be obtained and undestroyed!
For this, as usual, we do Om0, we start the mission for the first time. We kill the first two waves of Sindakko. In the third wave, we kill the sapper and lure the rest to the Paulie's Club . Run the mission a second time We skip all the cutscenes and run to the Casino (it's better that Yankee was not very far from the Casino). If you need H Sindacco, then we kill the sapper in the second wave, we take the car and set it in the explosion zone, so the game counts this car as a bomb. If H / Brown Patriot is needed, then we do the same in the third wave. Then we must destroy the real one Bomb - Yankee, otherwise the target H car will disappear.

But what is bad - I have this trick only works in the unpatched USA version of the PSP.
If I did not explain very clearly, I can record a video. But I do not guarantee that this will work on Europe PSP version, and also on PS2 and Mobiles

Btw,It makes sense to take this very H Syndacco Argento. Because only we can convert it to BP / H. The rest are available after the mission Shop 'till you strop.

Wow, you did it. Like Militia, I am a visual learner and I would like to have a video that shows, how its done. I can test all this on mobile, ps2 and PSP.

That means a violatile Situation givre us:

-H/UC/DP/BP/PP Patriot,

-H/DP/BP/PP Sindacco Argento

-H/UC/DP/BP/PP Yankee

i can test on ps2 psp and emulator not mobile yet...

[RationalPsycho]

Argh, damn. The Starter Save is the closest thing I have to this mission. Looks like I'm not needed much, anyway, since Yerdna555 has already figured it out.

 

I did, however, take a look at the script, and there were two "very_heavy" commands, both pertaining to "car $3914". When I first got my hands on the script, I thought it was the Yankee, since it had already been found and obtained, but, apparently, there are three Heavy vehicles there, which doesn't make sense (more hidden properties?).

 

So, now, Heavy/BP/DP/PP Sindacco Argento and Heavy/BP/DP/PP/EC Patriot are obtainable? Nice.

Edited April 9, 2017 by RationalPsycho

[Lennart -]

I just obtained the Argento. It works just like yerdna555 explained: Set up the mission like you would if you are going to obtain the Yankee, then after you reach the yellow marker, I destroyed the yankee and killed the first wave of the second mission (might be needed) and then i waited for the Argento to arrive. Luckily, it counted as a bomb but I think, if I parked it there, it would count as a bomb too. At last, I killed the remaining sindaccos and passed the mission + saved the argento/game

[Yerdna555]

There is a video. Something incomprehensible has happened to the sound, but do not pay attention, just mute this:

I note that I had to use SAVESTATES, because it is not very easy to make this machine turn into a bomb. But... i did obtain this on my real PSP, so it's possible, at least - on unpatched USA PSP version.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Hm....This is interesting!

[RationalPsycho]

Wait, so does this work like a conversion? You turn the vehicle into a bomb, and it magically becomes Heavy? If so, can it be done with other vehicles?

[zazaza691]

I bet this works only with vehicles from this mission.

[Lennart -]

Zazaza, do you think, the vehicle you enter while on the players RC Bandit setup becomes AP? Because I can't damage it at all.
