Press Up near him to start the vigilante-style killing spree. In these missions you will fight various groups of hoodlums around Staunton Island. The best strategy is to run them down in a car, or use a bladed melee weapon to cut them down. Using Molotov cocktails, grenades, and other weapons capable of taking out multiple opponents at once. If your Avenging Angel friend dies, you must find another one within the time limit or the mission ends.
Infinite shotgun ammunition
Stand outside the Ammu-Nation store and target the man behind the counter. Kill him, then take his shotgun and drive away a few blocks. Return to the store, and he will have respawned with another shotgun, which you can once again take from him.
Infinite sprint
Instead of holding X to run, repeatedly tap X.
Get to other areas early
To reach Staunton Island early, go to the Calahan bridge and enable the "Drive on water" code. Drive off the bridge and into the water, then go to the docks. Drive your car onto the docks. Make sure it is not a nice car, as you cannot take it with you. You are now on Stanton Island. This also works for Liberty City.
Exceed garage limit
Get a motorcycle and park it against the garage door. Jump off, and after the garage door opens, quickly press Triangle to get back on and press X to drive it in before the door closes again. With a car, keep pushing it towards the garage door until it opens, then keep pushing it until it is inside.
Park a vehicle already in your garage halfway out to keep the door up. Then, drive in as many other vehicles as you can fit. Make sure you can reach the doors on them or you may not be able to get them out.
Easy fist fights
When targeting an enemy during a fist fight (or using brass knuckles), run towards them and tap Circle repeatedly. Even though you will just be running into them and may remain stationary, you will keep executing the "running" punch attack. If you keep tapping Circle, Toni will keep doing this attack rapidly and your enemy will not have a chance to strike back.
Barracks OL (army truck)
Find the junkyard and go into it. Next to a wall will be a Barrack OL (army truck).
FBI car
Get a five star wanted level and FBI cars will appear. As soon as you see one, enable the "Wanted level disabled" code and quickly get in an FBI before it leaves. When you are driving the FBI car, turn on the siren and all of the other cars will move out of the way. It also has good speed and handling.
Hellanbach GT
If your are looking for a Hellanbach GT for LoveMedia crazy car give-away, there are two ways to get one. The first is to complete level 4 in the car salesman missions. It will appear in the showroom. The second place it can be found is at Shoreside Vale. Go to the first house on the bottom row of houses in the Cedar Grove area. Look in the driveway to the garage. If one is not there, drive left or right, then turn back. There should be one sitting in front of the garage.
You can also get the Hellenbach GT during the mission where you must kill the Sindacco gang member. JP will call and tell you to take his car as a down payment on the money that he owes you. That car is a Hellenbach GT. Save the car in your garage until you need it for the Love Fist car giveaway.
Thunder-Rod
When you do the third or fourth mission for Ma Cipriani called "Grease Sucho", you must win a race. Once you win, you must kill Sucho. He will be in a car with flames down the side, called a Thunder-Rod. You must ram the car to get him out so that you can kill him. However, do not let the car explode. If you do, it will be very hard to complete the game later. In the "Love Media" mission, you must deliver sixteen different cars. and the Thunder-Rod is one of them. After you ram Sucho's car just enough that he gets out, kill him then take the car and put it in your garage.
Katana
After completing Leon McAffrey's "Crazy 69" mission, you will keep the samauri sword used during the mission. This is a very good weapon for your melee slot, as it will usually kill enemies with one hit. Use it for the "Avenging Angels" missions when fighting gangs to conserve ammunition for later levels. You can cut down many swarming opponents at once if you keep moving around and tapping Circle.
M60 in Shoreside Vale
There is an M60 at the airport parking lot. There should be a small opening to your left. When you go through it, there is a ramp going on top of the fire station. To your left when you are up there is a ledge going around the airport. There is a secret package and magnum. Keep going around the airport until reaching a dead end. There is a small gap between the edge and an airplane hanger. Drive of the edge onto the airplane hanger to find an M60 with 100 ammunition.
Change size of the moon
Use a sniper rifle to look at the moon. Shoot the moon with the sniper rifle to make it increase in size. Repeat this to make it grow larger until it returns to its original size.
Free shotgun and ammunition
Find a cop car to get a free shotgun or bullets for it.
Free items
In the beginning of the game, you can buy anything desired. During one of the first missions you must go to Ammu-Nation. Choose the pistol and you will not be charged. You can also go to the Pay 'N Spray for free the first few times.
Better weapon aiming
While holding R, press Down. Holding L also allows for more controlled aiming (slows the movement of the sights). This works for the pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, and minigun. Use this way of aiming to take out gang members in their cars, pop tires, or shoot down helicopters.
Kill anyone without getting stars
Get a car (recommended) or bike, then drive fast enough so that you can jump out of it and kill someone at the same time. Drive directly toward the target and jump out. This will not work if you jump out too late. You can also hit police cars by doing this and not get into trouble. You can hit gang members and they will not chase you. However, if you do this to someone the police are chasing, the officer in pursuit will aimlessly run.
Assassins
After you complete the "No Son Of Mine" mission, Ma will put a "hit" on you. When an assassin tries to attack, kill him, as he will not be hard to kill. He should be carrying money, body armor, and a nice gun.
Motorcycle passenger
Use a vehicle to ram a motorcycle with two people sitting on it. Make sure you hit them hard enough so that they both fly off the bike. Then, get on the bike and shoot the driver, but not the back passenger. If done correctly, the remaining passenger will hop back on the bike and sit behind you as you drive around. Note: You will not be able to bail from the bike while moving, as the back passenger will block you from being able to jump off. To get rid of the passenger, just get off the bike and shoot him or her.
Snow
To change the weather to snow, find the auto shop in Portland. Begin the car dealership missions where you must sell cars to people by doing what they want. If you get to level 9, it will start snowing to make it more difficult to drive in.
Chrome plated bat
Enable the "Chrome traffic" code, then pick up a bat at your Portland safe house.
Easier mission completion
Once you get to the point where you can do missions for Ma Cipriani ("C" on the map), do not continue doing them until they are your only option. After Ma's "No Son Of Mine" mission, she will send hit men after you. They will continue to appear until they are all killed, making future missions more difficult to complete.
Easy completion of Taking The Peace mission
In this mission, you must take control of Paulie Siddaco's car and kill the gang members. Enable the "Pedestrians follow you" code. After taking control of his car, he will exit. Drive to the area where you kill the gang and they will not attack you, making it easier for you to kill them. After you complete the mission, Paulie Siddaco will be in your van.
Big air
To get big air off any car, enable the "Change motorcycle tire size" code, then use any bike to fly over cars. Additionally, go at maximum speed on a PCJ-600 on the wrong side of the road. When you see a Banshee, drive directly into it. This works even better with a Sanchez.
Drive destroyed vehicle
Find a vehicle with a driver in it. Press Triangle to get in the car and immediately enable the "Destroy all cars" code. If done correctly, you should be in the vehicle, but it will be on fire. Enable the "Full health" code to put out the fire. You can now do things like in a normal vehicle. If you take it to a Pay N Spray, the vehicle will be fixed but still look burned.
Car stuck on bridge
While driving on the bridge that connects Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale, you can get someone's car stuck in the bridge. To do this, wait until the bridge is up, then bump a car about half-way on the bridge with it halfway hanging over the edge. When the middle section of the bridge comes back down, that car should get stuck and have half of it sticking out of the bridge.
Bleeding vehicles
Take a normal shotgun and walk directly up to a Rhino. Use manual aim and fire directly into the Rhino. It will spurt blood as if it were a person. This can also be done with other cars and objects, but is best when the Rhino is the target, because it will not explode. This works well at the airport so you do not get a wanted level. Note: The blood only spurts when you fire from certain angles; down and to the right slightly works the best, and you must be directly up against the tank and use manual aim to do it.
Ride through wall in Staunton Island
In the Rockford area, directly beside the hospital is a construction site. Get a PCJ 600 and ride it to the red bar at the construction site's entrance and break it. Then, back up and go fast as possible. Go up the dirt pile ramp inside the construction site. When you are on the first roof, jump over to the second roof while still on your bike. Then, go to the wall to your right and ride slowly into it. Note: You may need to do this more than once. If done correctly, you should fall into the wall. When you are done falling, you will be in the unfinished tunnels below. The only way to get exit is to die.
Smiley face sign in Staunton Island
Look for the place where you have to chase the "priest" into the Church missions. It is a garage-type place. Find the white stairs and climb up them. Jump over to the roof to your right, then run straight ahead. Jump off to the right of the wall. Follow this wall until you find the ramp. Once you reach the ramp, do not go up it. Keep following the wall and run to the back. Turn to the left to find the hidden location. In Grand Theft Auto 3, the sign read "You are not suppose to be here". Instead, the sign has a smiley face with the message ""You just can't get enough of this alley, can you?".
Fly helicopter in Calm Before The Storm mission
During this mission for JD, when the helicopter makes its second stop on the top of the building in the Red Light District, get a bike. Drive it up the stars. Make sure not to kill anyone or the mission will end. Then, press Triangle while standing next to the helicopter to board it and fly around.
Chinese food after Wong Side Of The Tracks mission
After completing the Wong Side Of The Tracks side mission, go directly to your Portland safehouse. You should see Chinese food on the table inside the safehouse.
Game Of Death reference
After completing Leon McAffrey's "Crazy 69" mission where you run around in the park and kill gang members with a samauri sword, you will receive the "Dragon jumpsuit" clothing option at your safehouse. This article of clothing is exactly the same as the one Bruce Lee wore in his 1973 film Game Of Death.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City reference
During the introduction sequence for the Biker Heat mission, the poster above Maria's bed depicts members of the imaginary rock band Love Fist, which was the band Tommy Vercetti befriended and completed missions for in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
