Getting rid of cops:
Go to the territory of what ever gang you are working for and they will shoot them for you.
If you only have one bouncy cop-head on the top of the screen and want to get rid of it, just hide somewhere. In a few minutes they will be gone.
If you are being chased by the police and in a car, find a car painting place. Paint your car and the cops will stop chasing you.
Regardless of how many cops heads are shown, this will get rid of them in the first level. Proceed to the church where the level begins. Walk to the tutorial phone and make sure that you activate the tutorial (and the man begins to speak to you). Immediately proceed to the west side of the building (left of the screen). Walk through the opening on the west side wall that leads up to the roof. The cop heads should be gone.
Get a fire truck:
Blow up a car using the bazooka. Wait until a fire truck appears, then car jack it.
When you are in the fire truck, hold [Horn] and steer to aim.
Flamethrowing fire truck:
In level 2, go to the Zaibatsu Village to the green phones and answer the bottom one. Do the job up to the part where you have to steal a fire truck. Take it back to the village. A man will get in and the weapon will change from the water cannon to a flamethrower. Whether you finish the job or not, the truck is yours unless it explodes. If you fail you can do it over to get another flamethrowing fire truck.
Get a police car:
Repeatedly press the button used to enter cars to get into a police while the cops are still in it.
Get a police uniform:
In level 2, go to where the Z gang are found and answer one of the green phones with the mission called “Flame It”. It will tell you to steal a cop car. Once you steal it, get out and you will be in a cop uniform. To stay in the cop uniform, do not finish the mission.
Get a taxi, then park on the side of the road and wait. Sooner or later someone will enter the taxi and you will earn money.
The news van has a dish that always points towards the church.
Steal a truck cab from the streets, then find a trailer parked (usually in a car park, but some are just littered about). Just reverse into it to get a very long truck that is slow and tough.
Aggressive civilians:
Start the first level and take the mission “Radio Za-Za” at the loonies place. All the people around will try to kill you.
Bad civilians:
Watch out for people wearing red shirts. They will try to steal your and other people’s money. They will not try to steal the money if you or they are in a vehicle. Also, lawman and gang members will shoot to kill them. Watch out for people wearing green shirts. They will try to steal vehicles even if you are in them. They also drive recklessly and will run over you or anyone that gets in their way. The person that was in that vehicle previously will yell at the person in the green shirt and tell them to get out — he will do so. Lawman and gang members will also shoot to kill them.
Easy money:
Get a high multiplier and get a tank. Use the tank to wreak havoc and do not get busted by the cops. The army will make this a lot harder on level 2 and 3. The tank will blow up by taking four powerful hits.
When selling cars to the illegal car dealerships, that the faster the car the more money you will get for it. Exceptions are squad cars and ambulances.
Temporary invincibility:
In the Residential Sector , steal a B-Type and bring in to the Scrapyard to be crushed. A few seconds later, an icon will appear on the conveyer belt . Get it and you will be invincible for awhile.
Die while invincible:
You can still die when invincible by being inside an exploding car. The other armed men can also blow up your vehicle. You can also die by jumping from a high location or by drowning.
Wang cars bonus:
Get all eight Wang cars to get a fire truck that shoots both fire and water; 4 Furor GTs (one with 50 machine guns, two with 50 mines and one with 50 oil slicks), a tank with 20 rockets, a special agent car with 50 machine guns, and an armed land roamer with 20 military machine gun rounds.
Find all eight Wang cars to get the Wang car bonus. Once you have found all eight, go to the church, save the game, then quit. Go to the main menu and start from your saved status. Go and find all of the Wang cars to get the bonus again. After that, keep finding Wang cars and you can get up to 32 Furore GTs.
In each gang’s perspective turf, a mysterious, numbered sports car is hidden (1, 2, and 5). The cars in the Zaibatsu and Scientists’ regions are both elevated above ground and must be accessed by walkway, whereas the car located in the Redneck’s territory is on a northwestern island that must be accessed by a car ramp over water. Once any of these cars is boarded, you will immediately be transported back to Wang’s car lot, where you will be awarded $30,000 in exchange for the car. Your real reward comes once the third car is delivered. At this point, you will be returned to the car lot, where a tank, a fire truck, a special forces car, an armed land rover, and 4 Furore GTs are waiting.
Explosive present:
Steal a truck cab and attach a trailer to it. Take the combined vehicles into a bomb garage to rig the trailer. Select the newly bought car bomb and press [Fire]. This will detach the trailer and set the explosive, leaving the trailer behind ready to blow. This can be useful when you are being chased.
Fly:
Get on a high building, equip a throwing weapon such as molotovs or grenades, and jump up in the air. When at the highest point of your jump, start throwing the grenades/molotovs. You will actually be flying now because you cannot throw things when in the air — the jump will start over and remain at the same height as the building you started from. To get down again, just stop shooting. Use this trick when army, police, SWAT, or special agents are after you; they will not see you when in the air. Tanks can see you but cannot touch you.
Driving up stairs:
You can drive up some stairs and ramps, but some will bounce you away. To drive up those “unapproachable” stairs, just drive for the incline. Just when you are about to bouce off, use the handbrake and skid until you reach the top. You have to be going fast to do this. This trick is useful for getting police off your tail.
Guided tour:
Go to the phone at the beginning of the first level. A “Schmidt” car will appear below. Enter it and wait for instructions. After finishing the tour, a machine gun and a GTA2 sign will appear below the church.
Quick wanted level 2:
Steal a car, rig it with a bomb, then create a huge traffic jam in a two lane road. As soon as at least four or five cars are blocked up, arm the bomb and get out of the area. In about five seconds the bomb will explode, destroying all the cars around you.
Finding tanks:
There is a tank in area 1. It is located in the area around the Crane/Crusher in Altamont. Enter the area and turn left. When you see a small alleyway next to the water, go down it to find a tank. Enter it and a kill frenzy will begin. After the timer runs out, you can use the tank for whatever you desire. Note: Do not exit the tank unless you have to; you will not be able to get back into it.
To get another tank in area 2, go to the garage across from the building with the staircase neary to where you found the first tank. Drive up until you reach one-way traffic, then back to two-way traffic. Starting at that red light, turn on the next street. Drive just briefly and the tank should be just off the road. To get to the tank you will have to get out of the car. Run on the beginning of the gray part on the side of the road.
In area 2, there are two tanks. To get to the first one, go to the left from the beginning. Youu will be on a four lane highway. Go left on the road. Turn right on the first road to the car’s right. You should be driving north (up) on a two lane road. When you get to the end of the road, turn right. You should immediately see a road to the car’s left (north of you) running parallel to the road that you are on. Turn left on that road and you will be on a bridge. At the end of the bridge, you will see a tank in the alley to the car’s right. To get to it, turn right on the first road and you will immediately see a large alley to the right. Follow the alley and to get to the tank. The second one is slightly more confusing to reach. As in the first tank, go to the left from the beginning and go left down the four lane road. Then, turn left on the third road, then turn right on the first road, then left on the first road. If you are on the correct street, you will be driving south and end up on a large ramp. Go on the ramp and you will fly into another ramp. Turn onto the second road to your left. That road turns left. Where it does, you will see a tank on the roof of a building. Keep going down the same street and turn on the first road to your left. When you reach an intersection, you will see a set of stairs leading to the roof. Go down into narrow passageway and follow the rooftops to get to the tank.
To get a tank in area 3, go to the Zaibatsu Power Core. As you drive along the street, look at the top of the screen. You should just about see a tank through the metal grid at the top. The entrance may be at the top of the compound but is very hard to get to.
As you start on area 3, go to the first main road one screen left of your starting position. You are now in Tedium. Follow that road north until you reach Mad Island. Rednecks from the second island will be shooting at you constantly. Follow the road around to the left until you can no longer go north. There is a path that leads to the tank. You will have to make some building jumps and kill more rednecks to get over there. Once you do so, you can just drive the tank up over the ramp it is next to.
Super turret:
When playing online, grab the Instant Gang power-up then steal a tank or armed land-rover. Each gangster that gets inside the vehicle with you will double the firing rate of the turret. This does not work with special vehicles on custom maps; only dummy spawned vehicles. It is not known if this works in single player missions.
Wanted levels:
