GTA CTW: Special Vehicle Guide [2019]

[Lennart -]

 

 

 

Spoiler

In GTA CTW only very few properties actually save. Like in the games that came before, BP, FP, EP and DP all exist but the garages only save BP. 

BP = Bulletproof: The vehicle will not get damaged from any amount of bullets hitting it. 

UC = Unique Color: The vehicle has a color that can't be found on the vehicle by using Pay 'n' Spray or ordinary traffic vehicles.

UM = Unique Model: The vehicle can't be found in traffic.

 

Spoiler

The Chevron Bypass

Spoiler

The chevron bypass is the only way to store boats, big vehicles and locked vehicles inside garages. You try to have the vehicle that you want to put inside the garage as far into the chevrons without blocking them so if you use another car to push the first vehicle into the garage, it won't be rejected. Then you have to push the car slowly and steadily into the garage until you think it's all the way in.

The best thing to always do is watch the linked video to find out how exactly it's done with this type of vehicle. 

The Rampage Glitch

Spoiler

This glitch was discovered by Derek. You have to start a side mission from a vehicle next to any rampage and the moment it activates, leave the car and pick up the rampage. spamming the "open pager" button allows you to regain vision. The rampage will be started once the side mission ends. This trick can be used to extract vehicles from your garage if they otherwise would get stuck when taking them out since you only have to fail the side mission after entering the garage on foot.

The Stat Glitches 

Spoiler

The statistics in this game are massively broken, regarding the mission attempts:

 

The Save Glitch

Spoiler

When you start a new game and pause at a specific time, you can save the game and this unlocking all missions from the beginning. I have yet to find out whether 100% is achievable and when I get this information somehow, this will be updated.

BP [FP/EP] Bus

Spoiler

Mission:

Stealing the Show

 

Method:

To obtain this Bus on its own, you have to start the mission, get into the Bobcat and drive to the gas station. As quickly as you can, throw 15 crates towards Zhou. At the next turn after the Style SR and the Police Patrol have passed you, jump off the Flatbed.

Run towards the Bus that will be parked at the side of the road and take it. Drive the Bus to a safehouse of yours and use another car to bypass the chevrons. After the Bus is stored, you can chose between failing, or passing the mission.

Method: [Bus and Yankee at the Same time]

To obtain this Yankee and the Bus at the same time, you have to start the mission, get into the Bobcat and drive to the gas station. As quickly as you can, throw 15 crates towards Zhou. At the next turn after the Style SR and the Police Patrol have passed you, jump off the Flatbed.

Run towards the Yankee that will slowly be driving away and hit the Yankee with your fists to scare the driver out. Drive the Yankee to a safehouse of yours and use another car to bypass the chevrons. After the Yankee is stored, you have to go back to the Bobcat and look at the road that the Bobcat would've continued on hadn't you jumped off. The BP Bus will be parked there, ready to be taken. Do the same thing with the Bus as you did with the Yankee; drive it to a garage and use the chevron bypass to store it. Now you can either pass or fail the mission. Either way, save the game and then check on the vehicles (you can confirm them being spawned by locating the safehouse on your map).

Mission:

Method:

At the next turn after the Style SR and the Police Patrol have passed you, jump off the Flatbed. If you aren't fast enough, don't worry; for the Yankee alone, it's not necessary to get it at its first appearance.

Run towards the Yankee that will slowly be driving away and hit the Yankee with your fists to scare the driver out. Drive the Yankee to a safehouse of yours and use another car to bypass the chevrons. After the Yankee is stored, you can chose between failing, or passing the mission.

BP [FP/EP/DP] Burrito

Spoiler

Mission:

Raw Deal

 

Method: 

Start the mission 'Raw Deal' and after the cutscene ends, use the Triad Comet to jump over the Tanker. Run west until you reach the train tracks, then run north until you see another Tanker blocking the road. From this point you want to turn again, this time you want to run east. The mission will fail and you will see a heavily damaged Burrito. Put away your gun and hit the Burrito until the driver gets out. All you have to do now is take and store the Burrito in a garage of yours.

UM 'Triad' Banshee

Spoiler

Mission:

Raw Deal

 

Method: 

This vehicle is entirely luck based. You have to start the mission 'Raw Deal' and pray for the rockets to not destroy the Banshee. When you gain control, immediately kill everyone capable of firing further shots at the Banshee. Then get the Banshee, pick up Chan and head to Hsin's club. After passing the mission, just save the Banshee.

Mission:

Clear the Pier

 

Method: 

Start the mission and get to the chase part. Instead of blowing up Chan's Banshee, jack it and then kill Chan. After the mission passes, save the Banshee.

UM Gumshoe

Spoiler

Mission:

Sources

 

Method: [PSP]

Before your start the mission, you should buy all the safehouses near the TV studio and brace for frustration. The method is fairly simple, in theory. Get to the chase part of the mission, abandon the Burrito and try to keep up with the Gumshoe in a random vehicle. You will fail the mission for abandoning your Burrito and now, if you're lucky, be in range of a safehouse with a garage. Pin down the Gumshoe, make a ped damage the Gumshoe or just do it yourself and pray for a miracle and once the driver leaves the Gumshoe, push the van to the garage. Do the chevron bypass and store it inside the garage. 
Note: This vehicle will not be accepted normally by the garages for being "too big".

BP [FP/EP/DP] Hellenbach

Spoiler

Mission:

The Tow Job

 

Method: 

Start the mission and get to the Hellenbach. Then stop the truck, lower the Hellenbach and drive it to the last marker. At this point, you will need to damage the Hellenbach until it catches fire. Drive the Hellenbach into the marker before it explodes and after the mission passes, use a car from traffic to push the Hellenbach into a garage of yours. You will have to use the Chevron bypass to store the Hellenbach but overall, it'll just be time consuming.

UM Recovery

Spoiler

Mission:

The Tow Job

 

Method: 

Start the mission and get to the Hellenbach. Then stop the truck, drive it to where the last marker is going to be and only now lower the Hellenbach. At this point, you will need to drive the Hellenbach into the marker and after the mission passes, simply drive the Recovery into a garage of yours. You will not even have to use the chevron bypass to store the Recovery.

UM Fists

Spoiler

Mission:

Trail Blazer

 

Method: [PSP]

Start the mission and get to the gas station. You will see a green tanker, which is called 'Fist' when you enter it. Take any car from traffic and push the Fist to a garage of yours. You will need to do the Chevron bypass to store it. After the Fist is inside the garage, commit suicide and after respawning at the nearest hospital, check on the Fist and save your game.

BP [FP/EP/DP] Burrito

Spoiler

Mission:

Torpedo Run

 

Method:

Start the mission, pick up the Destroyer, sink the Zhouboat as instructed and get to the jetty. But instead of entering the marker and continuing with the mission, abandone your Destroyer and destroy it. Then run up the small plank and steal the Burrito.

UM Zhouboat

Spoiler

Mission:

Torpedo Run

 

Method: 

Start the mission, pick up the Destroyer, sink the Zhouboat as instructed and get to the jetty. But instead of entering the marker and continuing with the mission, abandon your Destroyer and turn to the parked Zhouboat. In fact, when the model of the Zhouboat is loaded, copies of it can appear at random in the ocean, so you can just get one of these instead. Beach your Zhouboat at the pier next to the auto salesman and push it all the way to the nearest safehouse. There, perform the chevron bypass and when the Zhouboat is stored, go back to the pier and finish the mission. Remember that you can get the Zhouboat out of your garage with the ramage trick.

BP UM Zhouboat

Spoiler

Mission:

Torpedo Run

 

Method: [Fail]

Start the mission, steal the Destroyer and chase the Zhouboat. For some reason, the Zhouboat you're going after is not locked and we are going to use this for ourselves. You have to follow the Zhouboat and don't damage it; let it damage the Destroyer you're inside instead. When your Destroyer gets destroyed ( ) abandon it and chase after the Zhouboat. You have to jack it and then beach it at the pier next to the auto salesman. Now push it all the way to the nearest safehouse. There, perform the chevron bypass and when the Zhouboat is stored, save your game. Remember that you can get the Zhouboat out of your garage with the ramage trick. 

Video by xyz

 

Method: [Pass]

For this method, we abuse the oversight of not locking the BP Zhouboat's doors. Start the mission, steal the Destroyer and chase after the Zhouboat. When it makes a turn, block it so it can't flee and jack it. Now you have to be careful, you need to get out both drivers or else, the Zhouboat will just follow the scripted path. When done, go to the pier next to the auto salesman and beach the Zhouboat there. The pushing part this time is very interesting though, as the Zhouboat will still drop mines. Thus, you want to get a car that can perform burnouts, point it's front at the middle of the Zhouboat, get as close to the Zhouboat as you can and then perform that burnout. When you release the brake, repeatedly touch it. This will prolong the burnout and slowly push the Zhouboat forwards. Use this method until you get to the nearest garage of yours and there, perform the chevron bypass. When it's saved, get back to the Destroyer and push it to the Zhouboat. You have to use the rockets of the Destroyer to destroy the Zhouboat, or else, the mission will just softlock. The cutscene of the destroyed Zhouboat will play and then you can simply proceed with passing the mission.

BP [FP/EP/DP] Destroyer

Spoiler

Mission:

So Near yet Sonar

 

Method: 

Start the mission, collect three crates and then get the attention of a Destroyer. Lose the pursuer near another crate and collect the final one whilst being near the Destroyer. The tedious part: push the Destroyer to the pier next to the Algonquin Bridge (west end) using your Reefer and from there use a traffic vehicle to push the Destroyer to the Colony Island safehouse. Make sure to not leave the vehicle you're using to push the Destroyer or else, the mission will fail. Once at the garage, use the chevron bypass technique to force store the Destroyer. Then return to your Reefer and pass the mission.

BP [FP/EP/DP/H] Comet

Spoiler

Mission:

Salt in the Wound 

 

Method: 

Start the mission and get to the part where you're told to get to the next jetty. Instead of doing what you're intended to do, turn around, grab some wheels and enter the marker inside any car. This will allow you to leave the Cruiser during the drive by scene. Leave the Cruiser 6 seconds after the cutscene and then just wait. When the Cruiser arrives, Huang will be in front of Kenny, in a position where he can get into the Comet before him. Do this, get away and then kill Heston to fail the mission.

BP [FP/EP/DP] Speeder

Spoiler

Mission:

Salt in the Wound

 

Method:

Start the mission and get to the point where you're told to chase after Kenny. Instead of chasing Kenny, get a Wet Ski from the west side of the Algonquin bridge. Take the Wet Ski to the jetty where Kenny is at this point and go after him when he's trying to get away. When he stops, steal the Speeder and beach it near the car merchant. Push it to the next best garage and then go back to Heston and pass the mission.

SpriteFan (Wet Ski method)

UC Cruiser

Spoiler

Mission:

Salt in the Wound

 

Method: [DS & PSP]

You should fail the mission at a later point before to make this easier, the best you can do is just getting the BP Comet and infinite Minigun if you care about mission attempts. 

Start the mission and when you are told to "Get to the next Jetty", get yourself a Wet Ski. Those can be found at Colony Island, but not in sea-traffic as traffic is mostly (parked cars, people who ran other people over, police blockades, etc. still spawn from time to time) deactivated. Use the Wet Ski to slowly push the fragile Cruiser to the pier on the west end of the Algonquin Bridge and from there, use a traffic vehicle to push the Cruiser steadily to the Colony Island safehouse garage. Do the Chevron bypass technique and as soon as the Cruiser is properly stored, go on with the mission and pass it once and for all.

UM 'Triad' Cognoscenti

Spoiler

Mission:

Pursuit Farce

 

Method: 

Start the mission from your safehouse and get into the Cognoscenti. Go through the tutorial and drive to your safehouse. Use the Admiral to push the Cognoscenti into the garage so it is inside the garage if you'd leave the garage with another vehicle, the Cognoscenti would just slightly be pushed out of the garage. When this is done, just walk into the Chevrons and take out the duplicated Cognoscenti. Do a burn-out in front of the garage and as you enter it, cancel the mission replay.

UM 'Triad' Banshee

Spoiler

Mission:

Jackin' Chan

 

Method: 

Start the mission from your safehouse, get to the pier as instructed and steal the Firetruck so you can put out the flames. When you are able to take the Banshee, bring it to a garage of yours where you then have to perform the chevron bypass. Watch out not to put the Banshee in too deep as when you take a duplicate out, you also want to get the original Banshee out of the garage. When this is done, just take a duplicate from the garage, perform a burn-out in front of the garage and as you enter the garage, cancel the mission replay.

Method: [PSP]

Just pass the mission and collect the Burrito if you're passing the mission for the first time.

[just do it bob1]

This guide isn't even done yet and it looks better and more organized than sprite fans f*ck fest of a guide that we had before. 

[Lennart -]

I am unfortunately late to the party so all that's left is discovering better methods. 

With Derek's rampage trick, you can get out the "trophy" vehicles from the garages and actually use them in the water.

You can obtain the BP Zhouboat with mission pass. You just gotta jack the Zhouboat, push it into the garage, get the Destroyer, push it here, shoot the Zhouboat with the Destroyer and then pass the mission.

 

You can obtain the UM Recovery2 with mission pass. You simply drive it to the end of the mission before you unhook the Hellenbach.

(video in the guide already)

 

You can obtain the UM Fist without suicide. 

 

 

I also found a way to confirm colors with the use of Cheat Engine. 
You take a vehicle with a livery, put it inside a garage of yours, search for 3, take it out, search for 0, put the car back inside the garage, search for 3 again,... until you have a few values left. 

This works pretty well and I found out that there are 26 colors in CTW. Each value has a different color per vehicle though. 

This is for example the color palette for the Dukes:

Numbers over 25 result in a glitchy paint job, can't really explain it, you have to see it for yourself.

You can see the ID of the respective vehicle with cheat engine too, for this, see the following topic:
