Look for another Avenging Angel (they are dressed the same). Press [R3] near him to start the vigilante-style killing spree. On 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.
Taking the Peace mission: Easy completion
During 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.
Wong Side Of The Tracks mission: Chinese food
After completing the Wong Side Of The Tracks side mission, go directly to your Portland safehouse. You should see Chinese food on the table in the safehouse.
Shoreside Vale: 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.
Shoreside Vale: M60
There is an M60 in the airport. Go to the 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 ammo.
Staunton Island: Smiley face sign
Look for the place where you have to chase the "priest" to in the Church missions. It is a garage-type place. Look for the white stairs and climb up. 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 said " 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?".
Barracks OL (army truck)
Find the junkyard and go into it. Next to a wall there will be a truck. It is a Barrack OL (army truck).
Hellenbach GT
You can also get the Hellenbach GT during the mission where you must kill the Sindacco gang member. JP calls and tells 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.
PCJ 600: Bulletproof
Steal Wayne's PCJ-600 during the "Biker Heat" mission.
Thunder-Rod
When you do the third or fourth mission for Ma Cipriani called "Grease Sucho," you must win a race. When you win, you must kill Sucho. He is 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 impossible 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.
Good citizen bonus
Occasionally you will see a cop chasing someone down the sidewalk. If you run up to the person being chased and punch him, you will get a $50 Good Citizen Bonus. Make sure to only punch him once; if you continue and kill the person, the cop will want to fight you.
Katana
After completing the "Crazy 69" mission for Leon McAffery you will keep the ninja sword used during the mission. This is a very good weapon for your melee slot, as it will usually kill enemies in one slice. 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].
Unlimited 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.
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. Select the a pistol and you will not be charged. You can also go to the Pay N Spray for free the first few times.
Run longer
Instead of holding [X] to run, repeatedly tap it.
Winning 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.
Easier mission completion
When you get to the point where you can do missions for Ma Cipriani ("C" on the map), do not continue 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 Vigilante mission completion
Enable the "Spawn Rhino tank" code, get in then press [Up] to start the Vigilante missions. Crash into the cars and bikes you are chasing and they will explode.
Big air
To catch air off any car, enable the "Change motorcycle tire size" code, and use any bike to fly over cars.
Go at maximum speed on a PCJ-600 on the wrong side of the road. When you see a Banshee, drive directly into it .It works better with a Sanchez.
FBI car
Get a five star wanted level. 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. All of the other cars will move out of the way. It also has good speed and handling.
Assassins
After you pass the "No Son Of Mine" mission, Ma puts a "hit" on you. When a assassin tries to attack, do not run away. You can kill him easily. He should be carrying money, body armor, and a nice gun.
Get To other areas early
To reach Staunton Island early, enable the "Drive on water" code and go to the Calahan bridge. 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.
