I am Psychotic34(no not literally, except on Vice City...)<--- that joke worked better with the name I orignally wanted, which was Psychotic, but someone already had it(I wrote this before I signed up) so I put my lucky number on the end. Anyway, this is my first FAQ/Walkthrough, yay! Anyway, welcome to Vice City, nice place full of criminals. It's pretty similar to GTA3 but there are some differences, as I'm sure you'll discover. I am aiming to make this a definitive guide for Vice City, and with 0.8 I feel as though I am nearly there. I will try to have an informal writing style(unlike that last sentence) but I don't know why I think it's a good idea. Oh well, maybe I'll find out one day.In case you are wondering, I'm from the UK (like Kent Paul, only I don't talk like him!)Other FAQs by me, are currently, non-existant! See you for the next GTA Game, or possibly FFX-2 is a game I could do one for.I am currently doing a The Getaway Vehicles Guide, so look out for that, won't you? OK, that was updated with 0.8, but now I am on 1.3, and I am slowly obtaining perfection, which is nice, I guess! I get lots of submissions and questions each day, so It's hard to want to end this thing. Legal Stuff: This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

If you see it on any other site, then E-mail me. psychotic_34@hotmail.com *If you want to E-mail me any: - Alternate Mission Strategies - Challenges/Fun things to do - Good Places to fight the Police - Custom Missions I would be very happy to recieve them and will try to include as many as I can Just have the title of your email "Vice City" or something similar.I will try to reply to every E-mail, and I have so far but don't expect me to reply if I get 100 e-mails or something. I have included every single Submission so far, so you probably won't get turned down, unless you say something like "I discovered an F-22/How to Swim" etc. Also please include the name you would like to be credited as, because the fun thing about submitting stuff is having your name in a guide!* No Chain-Mails, Viruses etc please!(Not that anyone listens, I get loads of Viruses every day. Well, the most I've had in one day is 3, but I think all the ones I've been sent is from a worm) Or indeed crazy E-mails about me stealing certain items, you know who you are....... ************************************************************************** 1.1 Version History 0.1 11/16/02 The first version, added most things 102 kb 0.5 11/19/02 Added Car Stats, more secrets. Also more user-submitted things, and made it more friendly to people with small monitors. Gang and character profiles, Vehicle Missions, Sunshine Autos. 122kb 0.6 11/23/02 Added:Radio Stations, Most Unique Jumps, Robbable Stores, Good places to fight the Police and User Submitted Keep Your Friends Close Strategy 142kb 0.8 11/30/02 Man this was a big (and tiring) update. I finally completed the Unique Jumps Section, I started(and finished) the rampages section, added a lot more secrets, glitches section, challenges, fun things, good places to fight the Police and Alternate Mission Strategies for a couple of missions. Oh and I did 20 Hidden Package Locations, Whew! The things I do for you people 200kb 1.0 12/06/02 Well, I guess this is the first full version, as it contains everything I planned the guide would, now that I have finally done all of the hidden package locations. There is also many more secrets, fun things, challenges, places to fight the cops etc. Also, my friend had the idea of adding custom missions(Thanks Ryan!) so I am going to add some! 244kb 1.1 12/08/02 Overhauled the vehicles section, got E-Mailed 50 million times by Iwan Best(maybe not THAT much) so added a great many things to the secrets section. Doesn't seem like much has been added in terms of file size, but trust me, it has! I was also E-mailed by many other people, so look at The Job, Glitches, Secrets - other, fun things to do, custom missions. This update was kinda neccessary as I have been E-mailed so many times this week, and a lot of my E-mails have been about Glitches, hmmmm. There is an outside possibilty that this will be the last but two update, but that is merely a possibility, I guess I could leave it open to adjustment permanently and never have a Final version. The next version will have more descriptive measures on how to finish the checkpoint missions, and then the one after that will just be a massive user-submitted compilation. I will give about 3 weeks for people to E-mail me their submissions, and I will add a great many Challenges, Fun Things, Fun Places to fight the Police and Custom Missions. But I guess I will leave it open for editing, as I'm sure that a) I will get many E-mails anyway b) some kind of new secret like the Ghost Town(But NOT the Ghost Town I hasten to add) Anyway, that's my two cents, but no-one reads this bit anyway, do they!? 269kb (25kb more, it ain't that bad I guess) 1.2 12/29/02 Lazy, I am! I got a lot of user-submitted stuff, So I added it all to the guide, So that I didn't disappoint all those people! 280kb 1.3 01/01/03 Happy New Year! and all that. OK, I added an in-depth bit to the vehicle missions bit (Spent 2 hours of new years day doing it whilst writing in a notebook in blue pen (which ran out after 3 words) a green pencil, a purple pencil and a brown pencil(because leads kept on snapping) all of the checkpoints on lots of missions, so yeesh I am worn out I guess. I added a couple of cars to the vehicles (well actually it was a Bus, an RC Car and an RC Chopper) Also 4 more custom missions, and also the standard secrets, Glitches, Fun Places, Challenges and Fun Things to do. Also a couple more unconfirmed cheats. And now the guide is over 300kb! yahoo! This was written before I completed this version, so now I can also add that I added 3 vehicles(Or is it 4? ah well) to that section, and a few more questions in the FAQ. This could be my last update in a while, don't wait up for me! I'm planning a The Getaway Vehicles Guide. So look out for it! ************************************************************************** 1.2 Controls On Foot T:Enter Vehicle O:Shoot X:Sprint S:Jump L1:Centres Camera, buy business/property, replace current weapon L2:Weapon Select L3:Crouch R1:Target Lock-on R2:Weapon Select R3:Look Behind D-Pad/left stick:Move around Start:Pause Menu Select:Change Camera Angle In Vehicle T:Exit Vehicle O:Shoot X:Accelerate S:Brake/reverse L1:Change Radio Stations L2:Look Left(and hold O to shoot) L3:Car Horn R1:Handbrake R2:Look Right(and hold O to shoot) R3:Toggle Vehicle missions on/off D-Pad/left stick Start:Pause Menu Select:Change Camera Angle ************************************************************************** 1.3 The Law When you do something naughty, and especially if a cop is there when you do it, your wanted level will go up. This is measured in a series of stars: One Star What Can I expect?:Cops will just come up to you and beat you up with nightsticks, nothing major How do I get rid of em?:Run like hell, change outfit, use a police bribe or use a respray shop How do I deal with them?:However you like! these guys can be taken out in any way Two Stars What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you. Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick How Do I get rid of em?:Run like hell, change outfit, 2 police bribes or use a respray shop How do I deal with them?:Shoot them, Shoot them ALL! Three Stars What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you. Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick, The Cops Cops will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your tires (if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and shoot you, and undercover cops pull up in Cheetahs. How Do I get rid of em?: Respray shop is your only way out now, unless you are lucky enough to get 3 police bribes How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher or run back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot. Four Stars What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you. Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick, The SWAT teams will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and shoot you, and undercover cops pull up in Cheetahs.Oh and very "friendly" SWAT Teams will show up in their Enforcer vans. How Do I get rid of em?:Respray.4 police Bribes How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot. As for the SWAT teams, Use a gun that packs a punch. Five Stars What Can I Expect?:Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick,The FBI will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and shoot you, any of the above which is still there will still be after you, and FBI teams armed with MP5s will show up in FBI Ranchers How Do I get rid of em?:Get to a respray shop, FAST or 5 police bribes. How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot.As for the FBI, I'd use something that can take them out QUICKLY, like a Flame Thrower, but you'd do well to blow up their cars before they get out. Six Stars What Can I Expect?:Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick, The Army will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and shoot you, any of the above which is still there will still be after you, and The Army show up in Rhino Tanks or Barracks OLs. How Do I get rid of em?:Respray, 6 police bribes How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot.The Army? Colt Python and SPAS-12 Shotgun do well, but blowing up their vehicles before they can get out is good, but with one problem:The tanks will survive anything you have to throw at it, then again, that is fairly inaccurate as you can use the FlameTHROWer and you can THROW Molotov Cocktails at them. They are the ONLY things that will hurt a Tank, yes even Rocket Launchers and Mini-Guns don't affect this metal monstrosity. ************************************************************************** 1.4 Powerups Heart Icon:Restores health to max Shield Icon:Restores Body Armour to max Skull:Rampage Pill:Adrenalin Pill, Slows down time matrix-style, your blows also do more damage Iwan Best says:It slows down time more than you so you go faster than anyone else.You can run faster than cars and never stop sprinting Star:Police Bribe, Removes your wanted level by one.

Ok, these aren't really a gang, they are in fact any group of people who aren't in any of the formentioned gangs(with an exception, I'll come to that in a min) and hang around together. The three most common places where you are likely to find "Streetwannabes" are - The Army! yes, although previosuly mentioned they come under streetwannabes if you kill them. NOTE:Fort Baxter Army only - "The streetwannabes are the guys with the leather jackets who hang around the mall" Thanks to PuNkBoY2000182 for that - The guys in Phnom Penh '86 are streetwannabes - Also, DPB Security ?!?!?!!?!? Well, maybe, I can't be bothered to kill enough, and trust me, I need to kill a LOT to get level with just the Vercetti Gang(yeah, I kill loads of my own men) Let alone the Haitians (I have probably killed around 500 Haitians!!) ************************************************************************** 1.7 Radio Station Info So, what radio stations do I listen to? well, if you really want to know: (in order of preference) 1) VRock - I love all songs on it, other than the two Love Fist ones. 2) VCPR - Every conversation is funny! 3) K-Chat - Only Mr. Zoo is funny. 4) Flash FM, if Video Killed the Radio Star and Japanes Boy are on(Because they are so cheesy, they are good!) 5) Emotion - but only for Fernando! I think I listened to 1 minute of a song on there, and that's it. If I'm flicking through and hear Fernando, then I'll listen until the song. 6) Wildstyle - I occasionally listen to it, not often 7) Fever - Last night a DJ Saved my life! well, thats the only one I think is *OK* I don't think it's that good a song 8) Esperantoso - No.Just no. But it does feature the guy that made an Anti-Mr Burns song on the Simpsons! (You know, when he gets shot and there's all the suspects, he's the music teacher Lisa wants) Unfortunately, he doesn't sing it, that would definately save Esperantoso from mediocrity, making it poor rather than pathetic. But this is all opinion, one person I know likes Wildstyle, another likes Flash. That's just the way it goes.

Romeo Void - Never Say Never ************************************************************************** 1.8 How to Actually Play Vice City No, this isn't controls The Main idea of the game in my opinion anyway, is to make as much money as you possibly can. You need money for a lot of things in this game, and after you complete the game is the best time to go on the rampage. If you've just left Liberty City, here are some new stuff Vice has: - Motorbikes - only go on these to look cool, do stuff like wheelies or attempt insane jumps. You lose a lot of health from crashing bikes, and frankly they aren't worth the risk - Helicopters - Helicopters are a great way to get around, as you avoid all the traffic and you can take a more direct route rather than taking the roads. The only problem is avoid crashing into buildings AT ALL COSTS as once those rotor blades start scraping the sides of the buildings, the Choppers going to be a flaming mess and there'll be only one way out. to Jump. - Boats now appear like random traffic, which is much better because in Liberty you were the only one on the water - Weapons. There are a HELL of a lot more weapons(See weapons guide) but don't worry, all your old favourites are still availiable. The main thing is, you can only carry one of each type, but see the Weapons section for a lot more detail - Car Damage. You can now shoot people through the windows of their cars, because frankly shooting the windscreen in GTA3 and having nothing happen was very unrealistic, especially if you did it to a convertible. Also, tires can be popped which again is a good step towards realism. Another thing is that cars are now damaged by ALL weapons, as again, hitting cars with bats in GTAIII did nothing, and was extremely annoying - You can now enter quite a few buildings, which is fun because you can now hold up stores - You have to buy businesses and hideouts, as you are only given two hideouts throughout the game I think these are the main changes. As for money, the only major way of getting it is by doing missions, either story missions, getting assets from your businesses or R3 missions, and EVERY mission is covered in this guide. Sure, there are other ways of getting money, such as Holding up stores, Driving Buses, Smashing Parking meters and killing people but you don't really get enough money for doing those things. I'd only reccomend doing those kind of things for fun. Stick to completing all the missions first, as the game isn't as fun if you only have half the city, vehicles and weapons to play with, then just sit back, and cruise Vice City in your Sports Car at night, listening to VRock. Or just go crazy and kill everyone and thing in site! The thing that has made the GTA games so popular, is that they are non-linear, and combine many genres so you can do whatever you want, Vice City takes everything good out of each game. But anyway, that's enough of listening to me, we'd best get on with the guide. And first up, it's all about those things that lighten up Vice City(No, Not the Hookers.....) it's the Weapons! ************************************************************************** 2.0 Weapons You Can only carry 8 weapons at a time:One fist weapon, one Melee Weapon, one Pistol Weapon, one Sub-Machine Gun Weapon, one Shotgun Weapon, one Heavy Machine Gun Weapon, one Explosive Weapon and one Heavy Weapon. As for my personal recommendations, I'd say: Fist:Brass Knuckles Melee:Chainsaw Pistol:Colt Python Sub-Machine Gun:MP5 Shotgun:SPAS-12 Shotgun Heavy Machine Gun:M4 Rifle:PSG-1 Explosive:Anything other than Nerve Gas(make your own choice, I use grenades) Heavy Weapon:Anything other than the M60(Make your own choice, I use the Rocket Launcher) The Cool thing is, if you want to store any weapons then just enter either Leaf Links or The Airport Terminal, then not pick them up outside! They Stay there! Weapons below are listed in my ranking, from worst to best IN EACH CATEGORY, NOT OVERALL. Because in my opinion, the Brass Knuckles are better than the Screwdriver, yet they are in different categories.The categories are kinda listed in weakest to best, but Explosives aren't really all that good. ************************************************************************** 2.1 Fist Weapons The Fist Description:its your fist! and indeed, your foot, knee and head. Where Do I find It?:Gee, I don't know...... Vs People:It ain't bad for a suprise attack Vs Vehicles:It's kinda hard to hit them, but I know you can as I hit a cop car + Points:It's free! and it's always there when you get busted!
