Colonel _Cortez 108 Posted April 3, 2017 Besides the Uzi spawning behind the stairways and the short way to the Bikers Clubhouse: Why would Tommy purchase this place? And better yet, why would he want to live in there? Is this suppose to be a homeless drug addict simulator? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhoda 6,118 Posted April 4, 2017 In game? Probably to serve as a hide-out close enough to Mitch Baker's watering hole, but inconspicuous enough to remain undetected. He has good vantage and gives Tommy a place to go should things get a little too heated. Nobody would think to look for him there. Out of game? It adds variety to the properties available. Having luxury apartments and houses is nice enough but the shack showcases a side of Vice City that's not often advertised. Situated just on the verge of some of the biggest buildings in Vice City, it's a good allegory for status. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 2,892 Posted April 6, 2017 It's probably one of the inconspicuous save points and closer to some places in the downtown area. Nobody would suspect anything about the place, unless followed. And technically, it's one of the cheapest save points you can purchase to save in downtown without having to travel a lot. I find it annoying to have to run inside some hideout interiors to save in a nick of time. This is probably of the points that allows a quick save.

BlueRoseGirl_xx 17 Posted May 7, 2017 It was always the cheapest option to buy for a save point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helegad 806 Posted May 7, 2017 I used to save there all the time back in the day. I mainly go for Vercetti Mansion now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil empire 2,144 Posted May 9, 2017 A good place to save your game on the western island when you don't have any company nor much money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gts. 2,111 Posted May 9, 2017 A cheap place to start if you don't have a lot of money. But sadly if you have a vehicle the safe house doesn't have any garage and it is only useful to save the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil empire 2,144 Posted May 15, 2017 Fortunately since you can't do tuning like in San Andreas the absence of garage is not a big problem. Especially when you use a mod that gives every car a better handling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Legends 665 Posted July 3, 2017 Many aspects of the shack work great for Mr.Vercetti Back when... I tried saving bikes in this "safe house" took a few times to realize nothing was safe if not behind a garage door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigHomie 17 Posted July 19, 2017 I always thought about it as a drug stash or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil empire 2,144 Posted July 22, 2017 We can always imagine Tommy uses it to attract the junkies who want to consume the drug packages he collected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanier23 1 Posted August 4, 2017 After the mission "Messing with the man", this piece of metal is very useful. And for 1000 $? It´s really good input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
