stamina.. is it necessary?

[ha! ha! ha! 3]

once you complete buglry mission, you can run without exhusted. no need to increase stamina bar.. right? no? am I wrong?

[Jack Lupino 639]

Yes. It gives you infinite sprint ability.

but I don't remember if it fills the stamina bar.

[Rhoda 6,113]

It doesn't visually, but regardless of your level of stamina at the time of completing burglary, your stamina will reach the maximum available. It's for this reason alone that I do the burglary mission as early as possible. Combine this skill with the fireproofing you receive after completing the firefighter side-missions and you're in for a strong early game.

How does stamina affect Cycling and Swimming energy before and after burglary?

[Rhoda 6,113]

Well, before burglary you're limited by the stamina stat you have at the time. You'll get a boost in speed for a set amount of time before you have to "rest", which is where CJ will maintain a default slower speed until he recovers. After completing burglary missions, this stamina is infinite, allowing you to pedal and swim faster until you stop.

I participated in a triathlon race with full stamina and burglary side mission passed with $10.000 yet later on I couldn't rush again in cycling until I have recovered after rushing. Is that normal?

[CHARMANDER50 32]

STAMINA bar has no limit if U workout in a cheats gym.

It ain't that important in completing missions .

Currently on a long overdue revisit to SA and after finishing this game multiple times I never knew that burglary gave you infinite sprint.

 

Thank you chaps, I have been on that damn treadmill for ages

After finishing burglary side mission delivering you get infinite stamina its not important to use treadmills and cycles, als yu still keep increasing stamina bar as you play on, and it never decreases like muscles bar(which can be prevented by keeping some fat)....

[Syrens 157]

I completed this years ago and never knew this happened.  Was the burglary stuff mandatory to the story?  I'm sure I remembering getting frustrated and abandoning it completely.  Could be wrong though and just never noticed.

Burglary, Stamina, are useful during the Gang Wars. allowing Carl to run from end zone to end zone as neded to wipe out and cleanup (picking weapons and money drops) with little inconvenience.  Also, makes collecting that much easier.

In general, getting the side mission bonusses early on in the game gives you a good edge for the increasing challenge of the missions. It might be repetitive and take time, but in the end it's worth it!

[Ballas King 374]

For me personally burglary is the best side mission ever, its fun stealing items and also invading armed gangs who attack you (including your own gsfs), just 60 items and you can take as much gap as you want (there is a time upto morning, but you can again do it next time it just adds in a cumulative fashion|), also they are of cool variation tvs, ovens, radios, etc. I just love it and for me way better than classic side missions like ambulance and firetruck which are rather recitative and get frustrating with time limit as you move up. And infinite stamina is useful for obvious reasons and will always be useful in other missions and side missions, and you never need to work on the stamina inj  t6he gym which is a lengthy process if you do this fun side mission. Most of I just love invading houses in SA  (specially the gangs ballas, aztecas, vagos even gsfs), so I love burglary.
