Easy money:
To easily gain money, go to Bruski’s Scrapyard. Break into the random car located near the car crusher. You don’t need to pick the lock because there are no police nearby. Drive the car into the car crusher, then crush it to get about $400. Enter the car you came in and drive it out of the scrap yard through the north exit. Continue on this road until you drive under a bridge. Then, turn around and return to the scrap yard. Another random car will have respawned near the car crusher. Repeat as desired. This will also unlock “Proper Scrapper” achievement or trophy easily.
Avoid death near cars:
When you are hiding behind a car in
a gun fight, stay away from the engine. If the engine part is facing
the enemy, their gunfire can cause it to explode and kill you.
Gilbert Gottfried reference:
In Chinatown, there is a shoe shiner that looks and sounds like Gilbert Gottfried.
Jimi Hendrix reference:
When you crush the car that has the bartender’s body in it after Joe killed him, you will earn an achievement or trophy named “Hey Joe”. In the Jimi Hendrix song “Hey Joe” the lyrics include the line “Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand.”
Zero Wing reference:
When you go to prison and to the yard, you will find a crazy man in the center. He says phrases such as “All your base are belong to us”, “Someone set us up the bomb”, and “You have no chance to survive make you time”, from Zero Wing. If you talk to him, he will run away.
