Bulletproof Vehicles on Grand theft Auto 3

Ric · 02-23-2002, 01:23 PM

There are five bulletproof vehicles on this game (that I know of) they are Suricar, Cheetah, Barracks OL, Bobcat and Patriot. Heres how to get them.

Securicar.
Early on in the game, before you leave Portland even you do a mission where you have to nick a securicar and take it to the docks. This securicar is bulletproof to nick it you keep ramming it until the driver gets out. Now when in the vehicle do the health cheat (as it will be smoking) to restore it to full health. Now heres the tricky part it doesnt fit in the Portland Garage. Enter the flying cars cheat and drive along the broken bridge as fast as possible and try to fly it to Staunton Island (or is it shorside vale I forget) anyway the second city. You may drop below the bridge and land on the road underneath as I did. Anyway drive it to the garage and then carefully blow it up with petrol bobmbs (fire) or something to fail the mission. And there you have it a bulletproof securicar, fly any old car back and save. Later on when u reach the second city/part of the city it will be there waiting for you in your garage.

Barracks OL.
You have to do a mission (for the bloke in the bogs I think) where the Colombian Cartel attack an army base, there is a one armed soldier there. The Barracks OL in the place is bulletproof (only in this mission), take it and park it in your garrage. And there you have it, a bulletproof Barracks OL.

CHEETAH - Bloody Hard To Get.
You Get the Cheetah in Portland. It is in the TURISMO mission (El Boro of the Diablos) the easiest time to get it is at the start of the game when the gangs dont hate you, especially the Triad scum.

Method 1. Run the one nearest the blue circle over in a tank it will blow up and the mission will end. You will be left with a black shell of a car. Push it back to your garage making sure it is on its wheels and into the garage. Make sure it is fully in. Now DO NOT GET OUT. Reverse away and the doors will shut. Drive back up to them and it should say 'You can not fit any more cars in this garage' now you can get out and ther it is a Bulletproof Cheetah for you to play with. (Dont forget to save) The trouble with this is the exploded car likes to disappear if you take too long or if you turn so it isn't on screen, keep it in your sights at all times.

Method 2.

Set up three tanks near your garage blocking the road and a third near them. Start the race and quickly get back there and into your spare tank. Now after around 100 seconds the cars will crash into your wall of tanks and drive into the cortyasd outside your garage, run one of them over and push it into your garage. As above do not get out until it says 'You can not fit any more cars in this garage' or words to that effect.

As for the Bobcat and Patriot, I understand there is a mission you do where you get the patriot anyway. I am not yet sure how to get the bobcat as I have not got it yet, look on www.gamefaqs.com it probably says there somewhere.

There is a phone mission called 'Bling Bling Scramble' the three rival vehicles on this are a Cheetah, Patriot and Bobcat. They are all bulletproof. Run them over and shove them in your garage. If you need any of them.

WARNING - When you use the tank cheat to get a tank it will stay wherever you leave it, be sure to destroy them with petrol bombs or by driving them into/pushing them into the water or the game will not have much available memory and cars will disapper out of your garage.

Say what? There is a flying cars cheat??? Hmm... I never heard of that one before.

And thanks for all of the tips, man. I will be sure to try all of these once I start a new game.

Is that where you can like shoot people's limbs off? That's funny...

One sniper shot in the leg and the whole farkin' leg falls off...

Or a rocket launched into a group of people and arms and stuff bounce all over the place

About bulletproof vehicles... that's neat, the only two I knew of were the Patriot and Cheetah...

man, the cheeta aint hard to get.

i think i have 4 of them parked in differner garages around the city.

I can walk out and find one right away.

mainly on Straton island.

And the flying car thing aint really a flying car. its sorta like its super lite. you go over a hill real fast and it'll keep going up into the are and slowly come back down eventually.

You can find cheetah's all over the place... but they're not bullet proof

And yeah the flying car cheat isn't really flying... unless you're in the tank... aim the gun thing backward and keep shooting it and going forward and eventually it'll take off and you can keep it moving in the air with the cannon... easier to get up and stuffs than the dodo, but usually is harder to fly cuz it's harder to get it to turn right and you usually get going to fast and go out of control...

yeah, when you enter it, it doesn't say "Cheat Activated" for some reason... just test it out... enter it, then shoot someone in the leg with a sniper rifle... and if it falls off, you got it right

Joeiss · 02-23-2002, 11:14 PM

Nice! I just printed out the code, and I am going to go try it out right now! This is going to be so much fun!!

Manual tested cheats -- the best

BE WARNED, if you save after entering some cheats they will be saved forever so be carefull.

Heres how to get the bulletproof Bobcat.

Start the mission for Ray (the bloke in the bogs) called 'evidence dash' aparantly the first bobcat is a decoy but it is the bulletproof one, however I ran the first one over in a tank and it said mission complete so theres a cheeky way of doing the mission for ya. Anyway as with the Cheetah keep the Bobcat on screen at all times and shove it in your garage, quite easy to get.

NOW HERES SOMETHING INTERESTING

You do a mission for ray, you have to take him to the airport (bulletproof vehicles are very useful here) when you complete it he says on your pager and I quote something along te lines of.

'Thanks for your help mate, here look after my bulletproof Patriot for me, see you in Miami'

Further endorses the possibility of GTA 4 being set in Miami if you have any doubts.

Well err they're making a GTA3 add-on or something called GTA3: Miami which... takes place in Miami... and it's due out later this year...

and there is a GTA4, but nobody knows where that's set, and that's not due out until like 2003 or later, methinks...
