GTA V Tips and Tricks

Welcome to our GTA V Tips and Tricks guide, where we've compiled hundreds of practical tips to help you master the vast world of Los Santos and Blaine County.

From essential gameplay mechanics to hidden secrets and efficient ways to navigate the open world, our tips cover a wide range of topics that cater to players of all skill levels. We'll guide you through the intricacies of the game, such as maximizing your character's abilities, acquiring rare vehicles, and discovering hidden locations scattered throughout the map.

You'll also find tips on how to tackle missions more effectively, earn quick cash, and unlock exclusive content. Whether you're looking to perfect your driving skills, become a master marksman, or explore the secrets hidden within the vast open world, we've got you covered.

100% Completion Checklist

You may not know this, but, in addition to our 100% Completion Guide, there is a checklist at the Rockstar Social Club that automatically shows you how far away from 100% you are, and also what outstanding missions/things you'll need to do in order to get there. To access it simply head to https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/, go to your profile page and then find the "View Stats" — click it, and then look for the "Checklist" link. On that page you'll see everything you need to do in the game, and if a mission/object/thing has a green line down the left side of it that means you need to complete it in order to get 100% in the game.

Aim Very Steeply

If for some reason you want/need to aim on a very steep angle then try walking backwards. When you are walking front-ways-forwards the angle is limited. Simply turn around 180 and walk backwards and you should have a much greater angle to work with.

Ammu-Nation Store Owner Assistance

When you have some Police on you and are near an Ammu-Nation Store, head inside and the shop owner might pull out a Carbine and take out some of the cops for you.

Armored Trucks Robbery with No Wanted Level

Armored Trucks show up on your mini-map as a blue dot and you should also know that you can rob them. Doing so will usually result in getting a Wanted Level, but follow this guide and you'll be able to rob any parked (yes it must be parked) Armored Truck without getting a Wanted Level.

Get a motorbike and drive towards the truck, then bump the guard who is carrying the case with your bike. You shouldn't try and full-on ram him, it should just be enough of a knock so that the guard stumbles and drops the case.

When he does, jump off the bike and grab the case yourself. This will cause the guards to tell you to drop it before they shoot you. Instead, get back on your bike and ride off into the sunset — with no Wanted Level.

Atomic Blimp Code Fix for PS3

If you pre-ordered GTA V on PS3 and were meant to have received a code to access the Atomic Blimp in-game, but are finding you get the message "Invalid Code or Code Already Being Used" when trying to activate it, read on.

You simply need to login and redeem your code via the official Sony Entertainment Network website. Make sure you are logged into your PSN account first, and then simply head here and redeem the code.

Once you've successfully redeemed it, go to the Playstation Store, search for the Atomic Blimp DLC and download and install it.

Avoid Wanted Level at Airport

To avoid getting a wanted level every time you enter the airport purchase a plane hangar.

Benefits of Franklin's Special Driving Ability

When driving as Franklin, if you activate his special ability (slow motion driving) and hit the brakes then it's possible to come to a complete stop. This great for avoiding slamming into that brick wall at 100mph and also head-on collisions with other cars.

Also if you don't want to get air when going over a jump you can do the same thing — activate Franklin's ability.

Better Reticle

The reticle in GTA V can be a little small and hard to see sometimes, follow this quick guide though and you can improve it.

First off, the reticle is always smack-bang in the middle of the your screen, so what you need to do is hold the aim button and then take a marker/piece of cellotape/post-it and mark where the reticle is on your screen.

Fashion the marker into whatever you want/however you want it to look and there you go — a bigger, better reticle!

Just make sure you can remove it if necessary.

Big BMX Bunny Hops

While riding a BMX you should hold the left thumbstick up and then press (or hold and press) the relevant button for your system to do a bunny hop. Once you build up enough speed you can start tapping the ride button in order to increase the distance — you'll be able to work out the timing required.

Blind Firing Tip

While you are in cover, press the left analog stick upwards and the target reticule will appear. Alternatively if you're at the "edge" of some cover, press left or right as appropriate.

This will let you see where your first shot lands! Beware though, it will also cause your character's head to pop out of cover a little bit, so you might get hit.

Blow Up Cars Easily

Wanna know the spot you need to shoot to cause cars to blow up?

It's the gas tank of course, which is generally placed just in front of the rear wheels on the left hand side of the vehicle.

Shoot where indicated in the image below and you should be blowing up cars left, right and center!

BMX Color Picker

If you want to choose the color of your new BMX then you need to purchase it during the same browser session as you purchase a car. The BMX color will be the same as the color of the car you choose.

BMX Ramp/Skatepark/Bowl Map

Now that we've got the BMX spawn cheat (see below) you should definitely check out some of the skate parks, ramps and quarterpipes in Los Santos.

Luckily thepoka from Reddit make this handy map. Enjoy.

Bulldozer Spawn Location

If you're looking for bulldozers in the city then head to the location indicated on the map below and you should find there's usually about four bulldozers there waiting for you to take joyriding!

Canis Mesa — How to Get it

They Canis Mesa is a very cool off-road vehicle that is impossible to purchase in GTA V. In fact you're not meant to acquire it, but there is a way...

As part of the mission "The Wrap Up" you'll be given access to a Canis Mesa in order to escape a shoot-out.

However don't drive it on the road. Take the left that you see down a hill to another road. There will be a chopper chasing you but you should be able to outrun it.

Where you are heading for is Michael's garage (the 4 vehicle one). Park the Canis Mesa in the garage and then grab any other vehicle in order to complete The Wrap Up.

Once you've got the Canis Mesa saved, you can modify it until your heart's content!

Thanks Jolcon.

Character Relationship Map

If you want to know all the different ways the characters in GTA V are intertwined then check out this very cool character relationship map.

Thanks johnleeislegend.

Characters Drive Themselves

Here's a neat tip. If you want to get a character all the way over the other size of Los Santos (Trevor, for example) then while playing as Trevor set a new waypoint on the map and then switch to another character. Then while you're playing as that new character, Trevor will drive over to the waypoint you marked.

Cheaper Vehicles

You can pay less for your vehicles by purchasing them over the in-game internet and incorporating this special trick...

1. Open your phone and go to the internet.
2. Click on "Travel and Transport".
3. Pick the website you want (for example: Legendary Motorsport). You will notice that vehicles like the Z-Type and Adder are very expensive...
4. Back all the way out to the home page.
5. Go back to "Travel and Transport" and back to the site you were on just before to see the different prices! For example, the Z-Type for $3,000,000 and the Adder for $410,000, and so on.
6. Some vehicles go up in price doing this so just pick the page with the lowest price.

Thanks ShadowPaws.

Children of the Mountain Missions

At some stage during the game you'll need a password to access to the in-game website "www.childrenofthemountain.com". You'll know when because Franklin will receive a mysterious "My Divine Within" text. It's all part of the Children of the Mountain mission-line.

The password to the website is: futility

Also, later on as part of this mission-line you'll need to answer a word puzzle. The answers are as follows: Divine, Completeness, Orthodoxy, Process, Realization.

Clean Cars Using Fire Truck Watter Cannon

This is a pretty cool feature/piece of detail included by Rockstar in GTAV. Simply grab a fire truck and then aim the water cannon at a dirty car. Next thing you know that car will be showroom clean.

Climbing Ladders

This is a helpful hint if like me you hate having to line up properly with ladders in order to climb them (in other games). Because in GTA V you can climb ladders from any angle — even the other side of it.

Combat Moves

There's a couple of moves you can do in the middle of combat in GTA V. If you want to run and shoot at the same time (run and gun) then press RT (Xbox 360) / R2 (PS3) only slightly in and shoot. It should work. To do a combay roll press RT (Xbox 360) / R2 (PS3) and then X (Xbox 360) / Square (PS3). Finally, if you want to do a dive then jump and press B (Xbox 360) / Circle (PS3).

Convertibles — Raise and Lower Roof

You can raise or lower the top of convertible cars by holding right on the digital pad (pressing will just change the headlights). On PC, you can do this by holding down the H key.

Destroy Choppers in Wind Farm

There is a wind farm in Blaine County that can be used to take out police choppers in a very entertaining/satisfying manner! Get creative.

Cost/Benefit Analysis of Purchasable Properties/Businesses

rtchow0 of Reddit made the very helpful spreadsheet embedded below. It shows you exactly how long it will take to recoup your investment in a property/business. As you can see, "Smoke on the Water" offers the quickest repayment of you initial investment (22 weeks) versus the Golf Club at the other end of the scale (576 weeks!).

Just note that the "McKenzie Field Hangar" needs to be purchased with Trevor, not Franklin. Also, Los Santos Customs is worth much more to you than the chart was suggest, as it means free upgrades for Franklin (and potentially all the other characters too).

Dial Phone Numbers

Go into your phone contacts and press either Square on the Playstation 3 or X on the Xbox 360 and you'll bring up a number pad to type in numbers and dial them. On PC, use the Up arrow key.

If you ring the number from the GTA IV mission "Lure" (545-555-0122), you get some guy telling you to stop prank calling him!Thanks andyot2011.

Disable Car Alarms

You seem to be able to disable car alarms most of the time by simply hitting start and loading up the pause menu. Sometimes honking the horn will also work!

Great for when you don't want to attract the attention of nearby police...Thanks cutfloss and gazzilla8000.

Dodging Air Missiles

The best way to dodge air missiles is to actually fly towards them and then fly underneath them at the last minute. Missiles can turn upwards, left and right very quickly, but are not so good changing direction downwards.

Drag Races

If you're stopped at some red lights rev your engine and honk your horn (not too excessively). Sometimes this will make the car next to you at the lights enter into a short drag race.

Easy Carbine Weapon

There are two policemen that always spawn below the overpass at Francis International Airport (located to the very south of the map) and they both always carry Carbines.

Simply run them over (make sure you do it properly) and then steal their guns and ammo.

You'll need to lose the 2 stars you receive, but you'll be rewarded with a great weapon.

This can be repeated as many times as desired.

Easy Helicopter Location

The two map diagrams below show the location of some helicopter ambulances, on the roof-top of a building in Davis, Los Santos. You simply need to head to the location indicated and then climb a ladder on the side of the building to access the choppers!

Easy Out Of Your Depth Achievement/Trophy

The easiest way to find sharks in Grand Theft Auto V is to head out into deep ocean.

So jump in a boat or a jet-ski and keep going until the water turns dark blue. Cruise around for a bit and you should see a red icon come up on your map. This indicates that a shark is present.

Then simply jump into the water and wait until the shark kills/eats you and you'll get the Out Of Your Depth achievement/trophy easily.

Enemies Under Cover

Be aware that sometimes when you're in a gunfight enemies might stop firing at you and go into cover. If they remain like this for long enough then they'll also disappear from your radar... So try and keep an eye out for people who suddenly seem to disappear. In all likelihood they're still there, waiting to pop a cap...

Enter Cheat Codes at Pause Menu

You can enter cheats when in the pause menu! This is good for when you don't want the button combination to affect your gameplay (like if you're driving).

All you need to do is bring up the pause menu, enter the cheat code (as listed on our cheats pages) and then press start to register the code.

Epsilon "Kifflom" Desert Running Cheat

If you're doing the Epsilon "Kifflom" mission line (to unlock it you must be Michael and visit the website www.epsilonprogram.com) at some stage you'll be required to run a ridiculous number of miles in the desert. Rather than sit there and do it, grab a couple of rubber bands or whatever else you can lay your hands on and rig your controller to do it for you...

Equip Scuba Gear in Free Roam

If you want to equip scuba gear in free roam mode, you need to get into either a submarine or a dinghy and then go into the water. The scuba gear will auto-equip.

Exploding Generators

There are certain generators throughout the game that you can shoot and cause to leak fuel. Then shoot the fuel and the entire generator will explode!

Thanks to Harry101UK of Reddit..

Fast Travel / Taxi Cabs

Fast travelling in GTA V is accomplished by first setting a waypoint on your map and then calling up a cab (look for Downtown Cab Co in your cell phone contacts).

Faster BMX

While riding your BMX tap R1 (PS3) or RB (Xbox 360) or L Shift (PC) and hold forward slightly on the left analog stick. This should keep the front wheel on the ground and you should go a lot faster than you would otherwise.

Flip People Off

Press L1 (on PS3) or LB (on Xbox 360) or RMB (PC) to flip off people when you're in a vehicle. You need to have fists equipped as a weapon too.

This works best (and it more visible) when you're in a convertible.

Flipped Car Fix

If you happen to flip your car upside down you can try to get it back up the right way by rocking the left analog stick side to side, or alternating between A and D on the keyboard.

Flying Jets

If you want more maneuverability while flying a jet then lower the landing gear. This will slow you down and enable you to make quick, shorter turns. It also means that other players in the air trying to destroy will most likely be flying around you (make very large, high speed turns) this enables you get the jump on them.

Free-Aim the Sniper

In order to free-aim with the sniper file you need to hold either RT (Xbox 360) or R2 (PS3) half way down and move it from there. This should let you free-aim.

Free Property

If you want to purchase any property for free then follow the steps below depending on whether it will provide income or not. However, note that doing this may lock you out of certain side missions that are only activated when you purchase property the normal way. If you use this glitch and get them free you will never get the chance to do these side-missions. Also you must have enough money to purchase the property (you just won't spend it).

Non-incoming providing property

1. Position your car right in front of the sign that enables you to purchase it.
2. Get out of the car.
3. Buy the property and immediately get into your car.

Incoming providing property

1. Buy the property and then when the cut-scene begins press "Start" and replay a short and fast mission.
2. Complete the mission and you'll spawn back to the property — except you'll have it for free!

Free Vehicle Mods for Any Character

Basically how this works is that you get Franklin to upgrade any vehicle for the other characters (Michael and Trevor) free of charge. You also need to have purchased the the Los Santos Customs in the Grand Senora Desert with Franklin. It costs $349K and will earn him $1.6K each week. The big bonus however is that Franklin can now do any car customization/upgrades for free.

So, get the car that you want Michael or Trevor to have using Franklin. You can steal or purchase it — just get. And then take it to Franklin's Los Santos Customs store and modify it how you want.

Then exit the store and call your other character (we'll use Trevor) and ask him to come hang out. Then you'll need to drive to wherever Trevor is and do your activity. After the activity ends, it will show you were Trevor needs to be dropped off on your mini-map. Drive there.

As soon as Trevor exits the vehicle, do the same thing with Franklin and then run a short distance away from the vehicle. Then quickly switch to Trevor and run to the vehicle with him. You should be able to get in and drive away in it. This then enables you to go save it in Trevor's garage and effectively save it as his car, fully modified, free of charge.

Free Weapon Upgrades

Here's a pretty sneaky way to get weapon upgrades for free.

While you are doing a mission head into an Ammu-nation Store and buy all the weapon upgrades you want as well as a grenade (if you don't have one already).

Once you've got your upgrades head out of the Ammu-nation and blow yourself up with a 'nade. The mission you're on will then fail and you'll have to start over.

However once you restart you'll have all the money you had before you purchased the weapons upgrades, and if you go back to an Ammu-nation Store you'll see that the upgrades you purchased have remained in tact.

Fun with the Cable Car and Mountain Bikes

This is pretty cool. There's usually lots of mountain bikes sitting at the bottom of the cable car waiting for you to steal them. So take one and then ride up the cable car to the top. Then you can have heaps of fun riding down the mountain on your bike.

Full Body Armor Location

If you're looking to grab some free full body armor, then head to the location indicated in the picture below. It's the police vehicle impound. Once there, head into the police station and the body armor will be on the ground next to a pair of blue doors on the right, just after you pass some chairs. There's also a vending machine nearby.

Gate Launch Glitch

Check out the video below to see how you can launch your vehicle up into the air by driving into certain driveway gates. The glitch is pretty inconsistent, but if the gate itself glitches or stutters you're probably doing it right. It's pretty similar to the Swing Set glitch in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Get a Fighter Jet (Easy)

A lot of people have trouble stealing a fighter jet and getting away with it, but this video shows a pretty fool-proof way to get the job done.

Basically it involves using a lot of sticky bombs and also a big rig truck. Oh, and it's actually lots of fun.

Enjoy the the clip and your new fighter jet!

Ghost Rider

In order to get the "Ghost Rider" effect will playing GTA V you obviously need a motorbike and for your player not to be wear a helmet.

Then blow the back wheel of the bike and activate the invincibility cheat, then just keep riding. Eventually the wheels will ignite into flames.

Grass on Fire

If you throw a molotov cocktail onto a grassed area then the entire area will eventually catch fire as these pictures show (thanks Darknessfallls). If you want to see where the molotovs are located then check out these maps and guides.

Golf Game Guide

We would have love to have produced something like this ourselves, but to be honest the author of this guide cannot be beaten. If you want to do well at the golf game in GTA V then you need to check out this guide it's an absolute must read!

Hang Off the Side of Vehicles

In order to hang off the side of vehicles you need to hold LT (Xbox 360) / L2 (PS3) and then double tap Y (Xbox 360) / Triangle (PS3) when you're next to the door of the car. In terms of positioning you should be in the middle of the front and back doors.

If the vehicle has roof racks and side steps by the doors you should be able to do it. For example this will work on the Granger SUV or the Insurgent, and only if it's entirely occupied inside.

Thanks AceAdam.

Headlights

Most cars in GTA V have three different headlight settings, either off, low beam or high beam. If you press right on the digital pad you can cycle through these options, or by pressing H on the keyboard.

Helicopter Searchlights

If the searchlights on police helicopters keep picking you up at night you can shoot them out with one of your guns and hopefully make a clean getaway.

Helicopter Stabilization

When you're flying a helicopter, you can hold L1 and R1 (PS3) or LB and RB (Xbox 360) together (which are the left and right rudders) to help stabilize the chopper.

Helicopter with Rockets and No Guards

If you want to get your hands on a helicopter armed with rockets and don't want to use a cheat, then this is for you.

Simply head to the location noted below and go to the top of the building.

The chopper is sitting there waiting for you to steal it — and without any guards!

Thanks to AtlasShrugged91 of Reddit.

Hidden Packages Locations Guide

By finding all 12 hidden packages in GTA V you'll be rewarded with from $8,000 to $14,500 per package and a total of $150,000. Check out the video below to find them all. We also have the following additional hints:

Unless you have a sub the packages are very difficult to get to. For this reason you should try maxing out your stats before attempting to get them. Lung capacity and stamina are crucial.

The packages themselves are suitcases that glow white on the bottom of the ocean. They'll disappear once you pick them up and you'll receive some cash.

You can also check our interactive GTA 5 map, which shows all the hidden packages locations and other collectibles.

Hiding in the Bushes

In GTA V you can even hide from the cops in bushes. You'll know if the bushes are actually big enough to hide you/whether you're positioned correctly if the arrow that represents your character on the map turns grey when you're in the bush.

How to Get a Private Jet

How to Get a Tank and a Fighter Jet

Watch this clip:

How to Get Free Vehicle Repair

There's three different way to get your vehicles repaired for free:

1. Drive up to your purchased garage and press the d-pad to store the damaged vehicle. Then exit the garage with another vehicle, re-enter it and grab your formerly damaged vehicle. It will be fixed like brand new!
2. When you're in a damaged car switch to any other character and then immediately switch back. Your car will be fixed.
3. When playing as Franklin you have the opportunity to purchase a Los Santos Customs. Once you do this all repairs and upgrades to vehicles will be free!

HVY Dump — Almost a Tank

The HVY Dump is an off-road dump truck that pretty much dwarves any other vehicle in the entire game, including the Rhino tank. In fact is almost acts a lot like the Rhino in that it's slow and very durable. It just doesn't have the shell launcher...

You can grab one for yourself in Davis Quartz, a mining site southeast of the Grand Senora Desert. You might also find one at the Redwood Lights Track which is a construction site that can be reached off Senora Road, just south of Harmony and the Blaine County line.

Ignite Gasoline Trails

Find a fuel can and then lay down a trail of gasoline from the place/thing you want to blow up to somewhere a safe distance away.

Then have a car that back-fires and line the exhausts up with the start of the gasoline trail.

Back-fire the car, the trail will light, and then watch the ensuing mayhem!

And as an added bonus, this method of destroying things won't give you any wanted stars.

Improve Game Performance on PS3

Here's three tips to try and improve the performance of GTA V on your PS3:

Defrag your console

Here's the steps:

1. Your PS3 should be turned off so the red light is on.
2. Press and hold the power button. The PS3 will turn on, and then turn off again.
3. Once it turns off again (with the red light back on) press and hold the power button once more. You should hear one beep, another beep a bit later, and then two quick beeps in a row. Once you hear all four beeps let go of the power button. You should see the system recovery menu.
4. Once at the menu, hit "Rebuild Database" first (this might take a while) and then do "Restore File System" (which should be quicker).

DO NOT CLICK ON RESTORE PS3 SYSTEM OR ANYTHING ELSE!

Change your TV sharpness level

This might sounds a little weird, but experiment with the sharpness settings on your TV. People have reported that anything from between 0 and 20 (on a scale that goes to 100) looks best).

Run in 720p

You probably have your console running in 1080p mode if you have a full HD display. While this is logical, it won't produce the best results for GTA V. Instead change your PS3 system output to 720p (along with your display if it isn't automatic) and you should see a visual improvement in the game (Settings --> Display Settings --> Video Output Settings).

In-Game Websites List

GTA V has an in-game web browser that is accessed via your cell phone. While you can't browse any "real websites" through it, there are dozens of "in-game websites" specially created by Rockstar.

Infernus and Coil Voltic — Easy Spawn Location

The Grotti Infernus and Coil Voltic are very respectable cars in GTA V and the map below shows you exactly the location where they are guaranteed to spawn (obviously not every single time you visit, but very often). You might also get a Pegassi Cheetah there and other fast cars.

Thanks ARH3352.

Infinite Grenade Launchers

First you need to visit the location shown in the image below. There will be a cave there.

Enter it and dive to the bottom and you can grab a grenade launcher.

After that swim back to the surface, quick save and then reload your save. The 'nade launcher will be back (respawned).

Repeat as many times as you want.

Instant Health Recovery

When you are getting low on health and want to recovery quickly simply switch to a different character and press B and Y (Xbox 360) / Circle and Triangle (PS3) at the same time, immediately after switching.

Then simply switch back, and you'll have full health! Pressing B and Y / Circle and Triangle together prevents your character from spawning in a new position when you switch back.

Also, remember you can't switch when being chased by the police.

Instant Vehicle Repair

If you want to instantly repair your vehicle simply stay inside of it, quick save your game and then reload.

You can repair a banged-up vehicle on top of a mountain in a jiffy!

Thanks FrozenJack.

Interact with NPCs

To interact with NPCs simply face the one you want to talk to and press right on the digital pad.

If you want to get a negative response from them, then actively target them. If you want a positive response, simply look at them.

Interactive Map

If you're looking for an interactive map of Los Santos and Blaine County then head over here to use GTA BOOM's very own map. It feaures the locations of all stunt jumps, spaceship parts, letter scraps, knife flights, "under the bridges", nuclear waste, submarine pieces, hidden packages and real estate signs. Very useful if you are going for 100%.

Keep Spare Spot in Garages

Always keep a spare spot in one of your bought garages as you never know when you'll need it.

If you manage to get a rare car and want to save it but have four vehicles already, you'll need to remove one.

The problem is that when you load your garage to do that, the rare car you're in will disappear!

Jetski Cave Location

If you haven't visited the cave at the location shown below then you really need to. It is valuable in both the story mode and GTA Online parts of the game. Note only can you hide from the cops there (and escape a 4 star wanted level for example) but there is two jetskis and a jetmax inside.

Thanks A_Game_of_Scones.

Knife Flight Locations Guide

There are 15 knife flight aerial challenges to complete in Grand Theft Auto V. You need to get all 15 in order to unlock the "Close Shave" Trophy or Achievement (in fact you need to do all 50 Under the Bridge Challenges to get Close Shave too!).

Leaving Engine Running and Headlights On

1. Be in your car with the headlights on.
2. Leave the car and punch the air (seriously).
3. Get back in the car, let the engine start and then get out again.
4. The engine will stay running and the headlights will remain on too!

Less Damage with Trevor

In instances when you are playing with Trevor and he is about to impact the ground at a high speed (like if you've jumped out of a plane or rolled out of a car) activate his special ability and sometimes this will lessen the damage he takes enough so that you survive.

Letter Scraps Locations Guide

If you collect at 50 letter craps you'll unlock the Achievement/Trophy "A Mystery, Solved". You must collect the scraps in order from the Northernmost part of the map in Blaine county to down Los Santos. For this reason it's best to do this challenge all in one go.

A helicopter is useful for doing this as a lot of the map will need to be visible and you'll actually need a chopper to get one of the scraps anyway.

When you've got all 50 scraps you'll be able to read a letter and find out who killed Leonora Johnson. Then switch your character to Franklin and the Killer of Leonora Johnson mission will be unlocked. Do that to get the Achievement/Trophy "A Mystery, Solved"

Level Up Strength and Shooting

Use this hint to level up your strength and shooting skills in just 10 minutes.

First buy a ton of pistol ammo and then find a bus.

Jump on top of the bus, then stomp on it while the driver is still driving. Make sure you move back and forth or you will fall off after stomping.

Then after that strength is at 100, shoot the middle of the bus till 100. The bus should be able to take the bullets without being destroyed.

Also if the bus crashes into anything you will fall down. If you're lucky you can stay on the bus and get back up but you might fall off.

Thanks George S.

Lifeinvader Stalking Discounts & Freebies

Lifeinvader is the parody social network that Rockstar created specifically for Grand Theft Auto V. It's not just an entertaining website though, if you "Stalk" (the Lifeinvader version of a Facebook "Like") certain store's pages then you'll actually get a discount or free item at those stores (or other, related ones) in the game!

Here's a list of what you can score cheap/free along with a link to the Liveinvader page you need to Stalk:

• Elitas Travel (get 10% off your first purchase through ElitasTravel.com)
• Herr Kutz Barber (get your first haircut free)
• InkInc. (get your first tattoo free)
• Legendary Motorsport (get 10% off your first purchase through their online showroom)
• Los Santos Customs (get a free paint job)
• Redwood Cigarettes (get 10% off your first visit to a participating hospital)
• Sprunk (get a free can of Sprunk)
• Warstock Cache & Carry (get 10% off your first purchase in-store)

Lifetime Discount at Ammu-nation Stores

If you want cheap ammunition from the start of the game, then as soon as you can go to an Ammu-nation Store shooting range.

You then need to complete all the range challenges with Gold (this might take 15-20 minutes).

Get Gold and you're then entitled to 25% off everything in every Ammu-nation Store from that point on. No cheats or other tricks necessary!

If you can't get Gold but can do all the challenges you'll still get 10% (bronze) or 15% off (silver) — still not too bad! Also:

1. Always use the best weapon in the relevant class.
2. Keep the multiplier running — this is the real key to getting Gold.
3. Use burst on automatic weapons as it keeps the recoil down.
4. Take your time!

Maxing Strength Stat

This one takes while and it's true that doing stuff like golf will increase it marginally, the only real way to increase strength is by fighting... and even then it takes ages! You literally need to walk around starting fighs all the time as you play the game. Don't try to grind this out because you will go insane though. Just fight alot and you'll get there eventually.

Max Driving Skill

Near misses are crucial in terms of increasing your driving skill. The best way to do this is to wait until it gets dark at night (there's enough cars to so what you need to do, but not too many so that you're crashing all the time) and then get a motorbike and head to the Olympus Freeway. It's the one that runs north-east out of the city and then just ride directly into traffic (while also avoiding it of course). This should get you heaps of near misses and also increase your driving stat quickly. You can sit in between the two lanes and just weave in and out — that's probably the safest way of doing it.

Max Lung Capacity and Swimming

These two stats take a long time to max out and are best done at the same time. Basically you'll need to get in the water and swim all around the coasts of Los Santos while at the same time also diving under the water (and obviously swimming underwater too). Just swim for as long as you can underwater, come up for air, then dive back down. Kind of like a dolphin we suppose... Oh and be prepared to do this for quite a while!

Apparently it is also possible to simply get a dinghy or submarine, and jump overboard in scuba gear and stay submerged. Lung Capacity should then level up on its own until full.

Max Out Flying Skill

If you want to max out your flying skill first find a small single prop engine plane (the less room it needs to land and take-off the better). Then head to Trevor's air field and just start doing "bunny hop" take-offs and landings.

Basically in order for a landing to be counted (and to therefore increase your rank) the wheels only need to take the ground for around a second. So you just need to go back and forth along the runway touching the wheels down for a short time, then pulling up and then touching back down again.

It should take about 30 minutes to max out your flying stat using this method.

Max Out Stealth Stat

For every minute you spend walking in stealth mode in GTA V it earns you one point towards that stat. So to max it out easily grab a rubberband and put it around the two sticks on your controller. Then simply leave the game for 60-90 minutes and your stealth stat should be maxed out!
