GTA San Andreas: Special Vehicles Guide

This post will detail the steps needed to obtain a BP/EP/FP/MP Patriot from the mission 'Big Smoke's Cash'.

Notorious for being one of the harder missions to do and comes up at random on Monday and Friday in-game between the missions 'King in Exile' up until the mission 'Yay Ka-Boom-Boom', with its counterpart mission being the 'Loco Syndicate Drug Courier' which is triggered every Wednesday and Saturday. Note that this mission itself is NOT required to do in order to achieve 100% completion, thus making it completely optional and can be skipped when desired.

Keep in mind that while this Patriot is Bullet/Explosion/Fire AND Melee-proof, it is NOT damage proof, so it will take damage from collisions!

How to obtain this truck:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in either the Johnson House or the Doherty Garage
  • Tow Truck (Optional)
  • Sawn-off Shotgun (Optional)
The steps:

There are at least two ways to obtain the Patriot, provided you do not toss it off a bridge and into the water.

Option 1:
  1. Use a Tow Truck and intercept the Patriot while on its way to San Fierro. As it is making use of regular roads, this shouldn't be much of an issue, just watch the traffic along the way.
  2. Hit the Patriot to make it lose its cash, pick that up if desired.
  3. Once all the cash boxes have been ejected, keep hitting the Patriot until the driver moves out, provided the Patriot does NOT get destroyed even though it is NOT Damage Proof.
  4. Move the Tow Truck in front of the Patriot while keeping it on screen so it will NOT despawn and lower the crane so the hook attaches to the front of the truck
  5. Drive the Tow Truck with the Patriot attached to the Doherty Garage and park it in the open garage by reversing into it and releasing the Patriot inside. Let the garage door close while keeping the Patriot in sight/on-screen.
  6. Save the game.
  7. Now go back to the garage. The Patriot is now unlocked with its BP/EP/FP/MP properties intact and available for you to use.
Option 2:
  1. Make sure you are present at the Grove Street cul-de-sac where the Johnson House is located before the call from Cesar comes! This is where the Patriot begins its drive to San Fierro.
  2. Try the same method as described above using a Tow Truck, or hit the Patriot in a way so it will tip over and land on its roof, at which it will catch fire and blow up, completing the mission regardless of the cash collected, or if you skip the mission it will continue its drive to San Fierro, intercept it as previously described.
  3. When the Patriot is destroyed, push the wreck back to the Johnson House Garage, either by just running up against it or by using the Sawn-off Shotgun. Beware if you use the latter as it can attract attention of either the Ballas and/or any police officers nearby.
  4. Push the wreck into the Garage of the Johnson House, use a bike to keep the door open, just in case, but make sure the wreck does NOT despawn!
  5. Close the Garage door while keeping the wreck in sight.
  6. Open the Garage door again. If done right, the Patriot is now completely restored with its special properties intact.
  7. Save the game.
  8. You are now free to use this special Patriot at your leisure.
 
This post details the steps as to how to obtain an All-Proof Merit from the mission '555 We Tip'. This is the car driven by the DA officer whom you're supposed to frame for possession of marihuana under orders of Tenpenny.

All-Proof means that the car is Bullet/Damage/Explosion/Fire AND Melee-proof, the only ways it can be destroyed is by e.g. hitting the bike while wearing a parachute or dump it in the water.

gallery40.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Hashbury Safehouse (recommended)
  • Parachute
  • Assault or Sniper Rifle
The steps:
  1. Play the mission '555 We Tip' as normal, up until you've driven the Merit back to the Hotel's parking lot undamaged after planting the mary in the trunk.
  2. Step out of the car after putting it in the marked spot, but do not return to the valet spot outside! Wait instead until the other valet comes to pick up the car.
  3. Let the valet get into the car. This will activate the All-Proof property!
  4. Stand in front of the car and shoot the other valet through the head to make him fall out of the car.
  5. Get into the car, drive it to the Hashbury Safehouse and park it in the garage.
  6. Get out of the car, equip the Parachute and punch/kick the car until flames come out.
  7. Move to the other side of the garage, but do NOT exit it yet! Wait until the car blows up which fails the mission!
  8. Exit the garage so the door closes, and then approach it again to open it.
  9. The All-Proof Merit is now restored and ready for you to drive in.
  10. Save the game.
 
This post details the steps as to how to obtain an Unique Brown-colored Camper from the mission 'Jizzy'.

gallery475.jpg
There are at least two variants of this Camper, with a Brown-Red and a Brown-White coloring, as seen below, stored with two other cars.
gallery478.jpg
You can only obtain one variation of the brown campers at the time as only one will appear during the mission. To obtain any other, you must fail the mission and attempt it again to see if it will spawn then.

How to obtain this Camper:

What is needed:
  • Storage space at the Doherty Garage (recommended)
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Jizzy' as normal, until you're tasked to head for the bottom of a highway intersection at Foster Valley, to rescue one of Jizzy's 'hos' there whom is being attacked by abusive clients. The brown camper is parked there beside the attacker.
  2. Step into the Camper and drive to the Doherty Garage. During that time the mission will fail as it will fail to rescue the woman, but will allow you to retain the Camper by storing it in the Garage, and attempt the mission again for another variety.
 
This is a very good thread with tons of research clearly done here. I'm assuming this also applies to the remastered trilogy that keep out as well? Or just specifically the original version?
 
This is a very good thread with tons of research clearly done here. I'm assuming this also applies to the remastered trilogy that keep out as well? Or just specifically the original version?
All of the above methods have proven to work in the original version, which I happen to have. From what I can tell, these methods also apply to the remastered version as well.

And now while on the subject:

Here is one of the easiest special vehicles to obtain: Jizzy's Broadway

gallery479.jpg

While this car doesn't have any special resistances, it does come with a unique color, being a beige body with purple seats, as this Broadway is owned by Jizzy B, the most notorious pimp from San Fierro whom runs the Pleasure Domes Club.

How to obtain this Broadway:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any nearby safehouse with garage in San Fierro, Hashbury and the Doherty Garage are recommended due to distance.
The steps:
  • Just play the mission Jizzy as normal, regardless if you attempt to obtain the aforementioned unique brown camper too. At the end of the mission, Jizzy will inform you that the car has come onto an APB, which gives you the opportunity to drive the car into a garage and then save the game afterwards.
Remember that the car loses its unique colors whenever you use a Pay and Spray to get rid of the wanted level and repair any damages done, so in order to keep the car's unique colors, it would be advisable to locate and use any Police Bribes that there are around in order to remove the Wanted Level.
 
This post will explain how to obtain at least one All-Proof FCR 900 motorbike from the mission 'T-Bone Mendez'.

It should be noted here that there are FOUR of these bikes appearing with the All-Proof properties, making them Bullet, Damage, Explosion, Fire AND Melee-proof. That and obtaining at least one of the bikes is also VERY risky if you want to obtain it without cheats as this has a high chance of being either Busted or Wasted, so proceed with caution.

gallery411.jpg
How to obtain this bike:

What is needed:
  • Storage Space in the Doherty Garage
  • Sawn-off Shotgun with plenty of ammo (Hitman skill recommended)
  • (Heat-Seeking) Rocket Launcher
  • Body Armor
  • Firefighter Mission Level 12 completed (Recommended as you are fully fireproof)
  • Having at least the 'No-Wanted Level' and the 'Reduced Traffic' cheats active is also recommended given the risk of obtaining these bikes, but is completely optional if you wish to try it without chets.
The Steps:
  1. Play the mission 'T-Bone Mendez' as normal until you have to go to the ambushed van.
  2. Do NOT make your way directly to the van; instead, head for the direction of Doherty and make your way up on the area with the three buildings overlooking the main overpass where the ambushed van is located.
  3. Once you have spotted the van and the four bikes beside it, aim your Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher at the outer-most bike and fire a single rocket towards it. The resulting explosion will destroy the packages first, which fails the mission, after which the bikes themselves are destroyed.
  4. Approach the wrecks and then use the Sawn-off Shotgun to blast the one wreckage you want towards the Doherty Garage. Make sure you keep the wreckage of the bike on-screen at all times, as the wreckages are scripted to despawn once off-screen for a short moment.
  5. Keep blasting at the wreck with the Sawn-off Shotgun to get it in the Doherty Garage. Make sure the door is open completely and nothing blocks its path (like the side of a wall) as it has a risk of the wreckage despawning (I can confirm this out of experience).
  6. Once the bike is in the garage, let the door close while keeping it in sight. This will fully restore the bike AND its All-Proof properties.
  7. Approach the garage so the door opens. The restored, All-Proof FCR 900 bike is now ready for you to use anytime you like.
  8. Save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain a unique yellow-colored Burrito van from the mission 'Mike Toreno' while passing the mission.

This Burrito van does not have any special resistances, but has a unique color, thus you will NOT find this color on the van anywhere else, not by seeing it in traffic, not seeing it parked whenever you see one and you won't get it from the Pay and Spray, no matter how many times you respray it.

gallery340.jpg
How to obtain this van:

What is needed:
  • Storage Space in the Doherty Garage
  • Body Armor
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Mike Toreno' as normal, until you're instructed to destroy the van.
  2. Do not destroy the van by shooting at it! Instead, push it away from the gunfire from Toreno and T-Bone Mendez. Keep in mind that the van is locked, hence you have to push it.
  3. Use either the car you entered the Airport area with, or the nearby Stretch to push the Burrito van out of the airport area and push it towards the body of water near the set of five round buildings at Foster Valley.
  4. Push the van into the water. The water is shallow so the van can be retrieved, but the game flags it as destroyed. Doing so gives you a three-star wanted level.
  5. Lose the wanted level. There is a Police Bribe underneath the overpass close by to help you with that.
  6. Once you've lost the wanted level, head back to the van at Foster Valley and push it out of the water and towards your garage at Doherty.
  7. Push the van into your garage, then pick up Toreno and T-Bone and complete the mission.
  8. Head back to the Doherty Garage and open it to confirm the van is still in there. This will let the garage recognize the van.
  9. Save the game, then head back to the garage to check on the Yellow Burrito.
  10. If done right, you now have an unique yellow-colored Burrito for you to use whenever you want.
 
This post will explain how to obtain the Rancher from the mission 'Lure'. This Rancher is Damage, Explosion, Fire AND Melee-proof, so it will NOT take damage from colissions, fire from e.g. Flamethrower or Molotov Cocktails, explosives like Satchel Charges for example and from melee weapons like the baseball bat or just your fists (Unless you wear a parachute). It is NOT bullet-proof however, mainly for the purpose of the mission in question. It also comes with tinted windows for this mission as well.

gallery329.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any nearby Garage, like Doherty or Hashbury for example.
  • Enough Lung Capacity, just in case
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Lure' as normal and drive through the marker at the Angel Pine Sawmill, which will activate the car's special properties.
  2. Do not follow the checkpoints! Instead, drive towards the beach area, in particular the area just west of the tunnel area leading to San Fierro.
  3. Drive the car into the water, just enough to where it just floats, but keep it close to the shore.
  4. Exit the car, which will fail the mission.
  5. Now, swim to the car and push it back towards the shore to where it's drivable again, dive where needed (this is where the Lung Capacity comes into play) to give the car ground clearance again to where you can drive. This may take some time, but eventually you should be able to push the car out of the water, back onto the shore, or at least have enough clearance to where you can enter the car and reverse out of the water.
  6. If done right, you now have the Damage, Fire, Explosion- and Meleeproof Rancher at your disposal, test it with Satchel Charges, or any melee weapon to put it to the test. If you do NOT see any damage inflicted from those weapons, you've succeeded.
  7. Drive the Rancher to any of the garages you've made space for and park it inside.
  8. Save the game.

And as a bit of mercy, should above attempts have failed, you can try it again, but this will take less time to do so; 'Lure' is one of the few missions that has a 'Trip Skip' mechanic available that allows you to skip the main trip to your destination. Using that will let you skip to where you've arrived just outside the sawmill, right in front of the marker.
 
This post will explain how to obtain two vehicles from the mission 'Outrider', you can choose to obtain either one at a time, or both at once. The vehicles are:
  • A coffee-brown colored Washington, a.k.a. Mike Toreno's car
  • A Damage/Fireproof Rumpo van
gallery670.jpggallery671.jpg
How to obtain these cars:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Doherty Garage, which is the nearest garage.
  • A Sniper Rifle
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Outrider' as normal and move to Mike Toreno's car at the Xoomer Gas Station at Easter Basin.
  2. Skip the cutscene if desired and drive Mike Toreno's car towards the location beside the Shady/Solarin Industries factory, where the Rumpo van, a Sanchez bike and a Rocket Launcher pick-up are located. DO NOT DRIVE INTO THE MISSION MARKER!!!
  3. Step out of the car BEFORE the marker, which will prompt you to get back into the car. Run up to the Rumpo and use the Sniper Rifle to kill the driver, which will fail the mission.
  4. Step into the Rumpo to make it move, and keep the Washington on screen.
  5. You can choose to do either of the following:
    1. Drive either the Washington or the Rumpo straight to the Doherty Garage,
    2. Step into either vehicle in turns, drive a distance ahead while keeping the other car in view, step out and get back into the other to catch up, rinse and repeat. Make sure the driver door stays open when getting out; if you close the door of the car, it will get locked so you won't get back in!
    3. Just push either car towards the garage (e.g. pushing the Washington with the Rumpo).
  6. Move the Vehicles into the Doherty Garage and let the door close.
  7. Save the game.
  8. If done right, you now have a unique colored Washington and a Damage and Fireproof Rumpo at your disposal to drive with.
 
This post will explain how to obtain two vehicles from the mission 'Ice Cold Killa', you can choose to obtain either one at a time, or both at once. The vehicles are:
  • A black colored Stretch
  • A Green 'Pizzaboy' Scooter
gallery672.jpg
gallery674.jpg
How to obtain these cars:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any garage (Doherty or Hashbury is recommended for the Stretch)
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Ice Cold Killa' as normal and head towards the 'Pleasure Domes Club' under the bridge at the Battery Point. You will see the Stretch and Jizzy's new Broadway car parked outside.
  2. Push the Broadway into the water and destroy it; this will let Jizzy go for that green Pizzaboy scooter!
  3. Get into either one of the two black Stretches parked outside and drive to the nearest garage big enough to park it in (Doherty or Hashbury is recommmended, Doherty is the closest).
  4. Return to the Pleasure Domes Club and continue the mission.
  5. When Jizzy makes his getaway on the Green Pizzaboy scooter, make sure you kill Jizzy without destroying the Scooter.
  6. Once you've killed Jizzy B. and collected the phone, thus completing the mission, get on the Green Pizzaboy and drive to the garage where you stored the Black Stretch in.
  7. Get off the Pizzaboy and exit the garage to close the door. Move back to the garage so the door opens, this will 'confirm' the Stretch. This is important as, if you save directly after storing the Pizzaboy instead, the Black Stretch will disappear (as it is NOT saved permanently UNTIL you 'confirmed' it)!. Just move to the garage you stored the Stretch in to open and close the door.
  8. Once you've 'confirmed' the Stretch (and thus having any damage on it fixed), close the garage door and save the game.
  9. If done right and you've 'confirmed' the Stretch before saving, then you have a Unique Black Stretch as well as a Unique Green Pizzaboy Scooter at your disposal.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an unique Light Blue Pony van from the mission 'Toreno's Last Flight'. This van has a unique light blue body color, which means that you won't find this color of the van anywhere within regular traffic, nor can you get this color through a Pay 'n Spray.

gallery673.jpg
Please note that this Pony van can come either with or without the sound system at the back, so if you want to have the back of the van with the sound system, just retry the mission until it spawns with the sound system in the back.

How to obtain this van:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Doherty Garage
  • A Rocket Launcher (Heat-Seeking Preferred, you can obtain one when you drive into the airport during the mission 'Mike Toreno' as one of the Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher's spawn points is between the fuel canisters at the northeast of the airport.)
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Toreno's Last Flight' as normal.
  2. When you get to the helipad at the downtown Police Station, you'll see the van standing there. You can choose to either take the van to your garage right away and then return, or otherwise simply
  3. Finish the mission by using the (Heat-Seeking) Rocket Launcher to shoot down Toreno's Helicopter, then take the van and drive it to the Doherty Garage.
  4. Save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an unique grey slate Sultan car from the mission 'Test Drive'. Aside from the color, this car also comes equipped with a 2x Nitrous pre-installed in the vehicle, allowing for two Nitro Boosts before that goes away. Another thing to note is that this car can be obtained even AFTER you completed the main storyline missions, as 'Test Drive' is an 'asset mission' that is only required to be completed for the 100% Completion run of the game, thus once the mission is available, you can choose to complete it after 'End of the Line' if you'd so desire.

gallery750.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Doherty Garage
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Test Drive' as normal, up until you're required to follow Cesar whom is driving an Elegy.
  2. Do NOT follow Cesar; instead drive straight forward after Cesar makes his right turn, which gives you a prompt that you failed the mission.
  3. Drive the car towards the Doherty Garage and store it.
  4. Save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain two vehicles from the mission 'You've Had Your Chips', of which you can choose which one you would like to keep. The vehicles are:

  • A unique Police-Blue Bravura
  • An All-Proof Brown Admiral
gallery758.jpg
The Blue Bravuragallery757.jpgThe All-Proof Brown Admiral

Considering the effort that must be taken to obtain the All-Proof Admiral, make sure you have saved the game BEFORE starting this mission!

How to obtain these cars:

What is needed (bold indicates a mandatory requirement):
  • AT LEAST access to the Rockshore West Safe House, located to the South-East of the Four Dragons Casino. It's available for purchase once you've completed the 'Learning To Fly' mission.
  • Also access to the Whitewood Estates Safehouse, located to the Northwest of the Airfield, which is also the closest to the Sindacco Counterfeit Chips Factory.
  • Body Armor
  • Satchel Charges
  • Sniper Rifle or the Minigun (Sniper Rifle is preferred)
  • Either the AK-47 or the M4 Carbine Assault Rifle to take out opposition quickly.
  • Parachute
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'You've Had Your Chips' as normal until you're back outside the Four Dragons Casino and are instructed to move to the Chips Factory.
  2. Go directly to the left towards a set of bushes beside the Four Dragons Casino. The Police-Blue Bravura is hidden there and ready for you to drive.
  3. Drive the Bravura to the Westwood Estate Safehouse and park the car in the garage, provided you've purchased the safehouse beforehand. This is important for later.
  4. Take any other vehicle available (preferrably any parked one to avoid any wanted levels) and head for the Sindacco Counterfeit Chips Factory located in the Whitewood Estates in Las Venturas to continue the mission.
  5. Once inside the factory, do NOT destroy the machines yet! Instead, take out the opposition using any other weapon (by preference an assault rifle) first!
  6. After you've eliminated all opposition, plant the Satchel Charges, but do NOT detonate these yet!
  7. Go outside the factory after planting the charges, and detonate them, this will make the Brown Admiral with Sindacco members appear.
  8. Quickly switch to your Sniper Rifle or the Minigun and kill the driver of the Admiral first, stopping the vehicle and then take out the others! The Admiral will LOSE its All-Proof property once the goons enter the factory, so you have a small window of time to prevent them from doing so!
  9. Enter the Admiral and drive back to the Four Dragons Casino, try to locate and drive through ANY Police Bribes you can find to get rid of any wanted level you may have accumulated.
  10. Once at the back of the Four Dragons Casino, do NOT drive through the mission marker! Instead, park the Admiral just outside the back entrance and leave the vehicle.
  11. Equip the Parachute and strike at the Admiral until flames come out of the hood! Make your way into the Four Dragons Casino Back area, but keep your screen focused on the Admiral!
  12. Let the Admiral explode, then quickly enter the mission Marker to finish the mission.
  13. One the 'Mission Passed' jingle plays, quickly turn to your left and confirm the wreck of the Admiral still being visible on your screen.
  14. Now comes the difficult task of pushing the wreck of the Admiral to the Rockshore West Safe House. Any strong vehicle like a Secucar, Firetruck or any other car may suffice, or spawn a Dozer by using the 'Itsallbull' cheat, which can make the job of pushing the wreck easier. It's also advisable to marking the safehouse's location on the in-game map with a target marker.
  15. Once you've pushed the wreck to the Rockshore West safehouse, make sure the wreck is aligned in the center before pushing the wreck into the garage!!! The wreck has a chance to despawn if it's pushed into the garage at an angle or hits a wall, thus making the wreck disappear and forcing you to redo the mission ALL OVER again!
  16. Once the wreck is in the garage, let the door close, and open it back up to see the fully restored, ALL-PROOF Admiral there for you to use at any time. DO NOT SAVE THE GAME JUST YET!
  17. Drive back to the Whitewood Estates Safe House to confirm the Police-Blue Bravura there first, then save the game!
  18. If done right, you now should have a Bravura with a unique Police-Blue body color and a brown All-Proof Admiral at your disposal.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an unique Black Perennial from the mission 'Big Smoke', going back to the beginning of the game this time. While it is a bit of a hassle to do, the fact that I'm posting the guide for it here proves it IS possible, giving you a vehicle with a unique color already in the first mission, unless you used the trick to nab the unique pink Voodoo lowrider first as described here.

gallery759.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Johnson House Garage
  • Body Armor
  • Any firearm you've picked up, but a sub-machine gun like the Tec-9, Micro-Uzi or MP5 or assault rifle like the AK-47 is recommended
The Steps:
  1. Start the mission 'Big Smoke' as normal, up until you're instructed to go on the bike after the Ballas destroy the Black Perennial. Do NOT get onto the bike just yet.
  2. Push the wreck of the Black Perennial all the way back to the Johnson House Garage. Best vehicle to use for it is a vehicle with a high front, such as a Huntley, Firetruck or Ambulance. Be careful as you may get fired upon by the Ballas, if that happens, jump on top of the wreck and take the pursuing Ballas out. This is where the Body Armor comes in as it will give you just enough protection and time to take the enemies out.
  3. Push the wreck into the garage, making sure it does NOT despawn, then move back so the garage door closes, which will RESTORE the vehicle.
  4. Confirm that the vehicle is restored first, then drive all the way back to where the bike you're supposed to get on is (indicated by a blue marker on the minimap), and continue the mission as normal.
  5. Once you've completed the mission, check the garage if the Black Perennial is still there, just to be sure. If that is the case, go in the Johnson House and save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain a Bullet-Proof Forklift from the mission 'Robbing Uncle Sam'. This vehicle can be obtained simultaneously with the unique green Mesa, of which how to obtain that is described here.

gallery790.jpg
How to obtain this forklift:


What is needed:
  • Storage space in any safehouse garage, Verdant Bluffs would be the closest.
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Robbing Uncle Sam' as normal, until you have to get into the van after loading in 6 boxes using the very forklift.
  2. Make sure any opposition is dealt with, then drive the Forklift to any garage of choice, Verdant Bluffs or Johnson House is recommended regarding distance.
  3. Return to Ocean Docks (objective is marked with a blue marker on the minimap) and continue/finish the mission as normal.
  4. Return to the safehouse where you stored the forklift to check on it and 'confirming' it, then save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an All-Proof Sentinel car from the mission 'The Green Sabre'. This car is a bit tricky to get and requires a mission failure, but if done right, you can enjoy this All-Proof car at anytime.

gallery800.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any safehouse garage available, for distance purposes it would be wise to go for either the Johnson House or Verdant Bluffs.
  • Body Armor
  • A Minigun with AT LEAST 100 shots! This is the most tricky one as this gun is rare, and the only spot in which this weapon can be safely obtained is from an underground parking garage in Las Venturas, which is normally inaccessible at the time (you can enter Las Venturas, but at the risk of a 4-star wanted level)
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'The Green Sabre' as normal until you have to go to the Mulholland Intersection to save Sweet.
  2. Drive to the battle zone, but do NOT enter the red marker and do NOT kill ANY of the Ballas!
  3. Use the Minigun and fire AT LEAST 100 shots at the nearest Sentinel. While it initially damages the car, after about 100 shots, it gets converted to an All-Proof state!
  4. Get into the car and drive away to your safehouse, but AVOID the red marker nearby!
  5. Doing this right will eventually give a mission prompt that Sweet has died, which fails the mission. Let this happen and store the vehicle in the garage.
  6. Save the game.
  7. Return to the garage, retrieve the Sentinel and fire at it with whatever is left of any Minigun ammo you have or even the Sawn-off Shotgun, or use Molotovs or whatever other weapon you now want to use on it. If you see that the vehicle does NOT take damage from that (not counting popped tires), you've got yourself an All-Proof Sentinel to use at your leisure.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an All-Proof Sanchez bike from the mission 'Badlands'. As stated before, All-proof means that a vehicle is Bullet/Damage/Explosion/Fire/Melee-proof, meaning it can NOT be destroyed by 'conventional' means, unless you hit it enough times while wearing a parachute, dump the vehicle in the water, or tip it upside down (in case of cars) for example.

gallery803.jpg
How to obtain this bike:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any safehouse garage available, this includes the garages at the Palomino Creek and Dillimore Safehouses (provided you purchased those) as well as the Doherty Garage in San Fierro (which is accessible by this point, even BEFORE it becomes an actual save point).
  • Body Armor (for protection against the feds)
  • A few weapons (Shotgun, Grenades, Sub-machine gun), for both defense against the Feds as well as to test the bike as described below.
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Badlands' as normal until you arrive at the snitch's hideout at Mount Chiliad. Kill the feds, but NOT the snitch!
  2. Let the snitch enter the parked car so they'll try to make their getaway, get on one of the Sanchez bikes parked beside the hideout and just follow the car down the mountain.
  3. When reaching the mountain base, ride the bike past the point which is the finish point of the Chiliad Challenges, and ride it to the beach down south.
  4. Ride the Sanchez on the beach and carefully into the water, just enough where it'll make you 'fall off' the bike, but not too far from the shore.
  5. You'll eventually get a message that the snitch got away, which fails the mission. When that happens, move back to the bike and push it back to the shore enough to get back on it and ride it out of the water.
  6. Test the bike on it's All-Proof property by firing at it with a (Sawn-Off) Shotgun, or toss a grenade or two towards it from a safe spot. If you see that the bike does NOT take damage from it (Shotgun blast should 'push' the bike away even at that), you've done it right and you now have an All-Proof Sanchez at your disposal.
  7. Ride the bike to any of the available safehouses of your choosing and save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an Explosion-proof Banshee from the mission 'Gray Imports'. Explosion-proof means that the car will NOT receive damage from rockets, grenades or satchel charges for example.
gallery428.jpg
How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any safehouse garage available, Verdant Bluffs is the closest.
  • Body Armor
  • Sawn-off Shotgun, MP5 and/or AK-47 with plenty of ammo is recommended due to the warehouse shootout part.
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Gray Imports' as normal, optionally store the vehicle you used to get to the docks in the first place, as driving it through the mission marker makes it both Fire and Explosion-proof.
  2. Continue the mission until you have to chase Andre, the leader of the Russian mobsters in charge of the negotiation with the Ballas.
  3. Chase him down to ground level, and kill him BEFORE he can get into the Banshee that is waiting for him at the main entrance area. Make sure the car is visible before doing so!
  4. Get into the Banshee and drive it to any safehouse of your choosing to store it.
  5. You now have an Explosion-proof Banshee to use for yourself after you save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an All-Proof Maverick Helicopter from the mission 'Misappropriation'.

How to obtain this helicopter:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in the Verdant Meadows Hangar.
  • Body Armor
  • Sniper Rifle
  • Tow Truck
  • Assault Rifle like the M4, just in case you need to deal with the remaining opposition.
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Misappropriation' as normal until you're close to the village where the snitch is hiding. Do NOT approach the village as this will alert the agents patrolling around it!
  2. Keep the village Aldea Malvada and the Maverick Helicopter which is parked at the back in sight/on screen at all times!!!
  3. Find a vantage point where you can see the snitch's head clearly and use the Sniper Rifle to shoot him once. If done right, he should be moving towards you. Let him come close,.
  4. Take the snitch out which will make him drop the evidence dossier and collect it, which completes the mission. Now get back into the Tow Truck and drive towards the back of Aldea Malvada where the Maverick is parked, while keeping it on screen, as it will despawn/vanish when off-screen!
  5. Position the Tow Truck's crane to where it meets the nuzzle of the Maverick and lower the crane to attach it onto the nuzzle. You'd hear a 'click' sound-type effect if done right.
  6. Raise the crane which will also raise the nozzle of the helicopter, which indicates it is attached to the Tow Truck. Now drive towards the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard.
  7. Drive the Tow Truck and the Helicopter into the large hangar.
  8. Lower the crane to release the Helicopter and drive out of the Hangar, letting the door close, but keep the Helicopter on-screen when you do.
  9. Once the door closes, approach the hangar to open the doors and confirm the Helicopter is there. If this is the case, you now have an All-Proof Maverick at your disposal. If you're not sure if you succeeded, test this with weapons like the Sawn-off Shotgun, Molotov Cocktails and/or Satchel Charges. If the helicopter does NOT take damage from ANY of these weapons, you've done it right.
  10. Save the game.
 
This post will explain how to obtain an All-Proof Savanna from the mission 'Photo Opportunity'. This is also the Savanna owned by Cesar Vialpando as it is bright red with red seats.

How to obtain this car:

What is needed:
  • Storage space in any safehouse garage available, the Doherty Garage is recommended.
  • Body Armor
  • Sawn-off Shotgun with a good amount of ammunition, Hitman skill recommended.
The steps:
  1. Play the mission 'Photo Opportunity' as normal until you've met up with Cesar Vialpando near the Fleischberg Brewery at Blueberry.
  2. Step into Cesar's Savanna, but do NOT drive to Angel Pine yet. Drive first to Los Santos and enter the 8-Ball Autos Bomb Shop located at El Corona, near Unity Station
  3. Once you see the message that the car is fitted with the bomb, drive towards Angel Pine and enter the marker to let Cesar exit the car first, the drive it around the corner to the right and stop once you see the marker on the roof to your right.
  4. Activate the car bomb, you'll see a message on-screen that says the Bomb is armed. Exit the car and immediately run up to the roof and into the Marker.
  5. When you're in the camera view, switch to your left, you should see the Savanna blow up. Do NOT move the camera away from that position, not even when Cesar says that the ones they're looking for arrive!
  6. The mission will fail as you did not make a photo of the arrivals. Move off the roof and you should see the wreck of Cesar's Savanna right beside you.
  7. Now you can use whatever means you wish to get the wreck to the Doherty Garage. Use the Sawn-off Shotgun to make the wreck move, until you find a vehicle that is suitable enough for you to push the wreck on to the garage, like a Tanker or, if you find one at the Angel Pine Junkyard, a Dozer, but make sure the wreck stays on-screen at all times, as it will despawn/vanish if you don't do this.
  8. Once you've got the wreck to the Doherty Garage, push it inside when the door is open. Let the door close up which will restore the car.
  9. Open the garage. You now have Cesar's Savanna, All-Proof, for your own use at any time.
Should the above attempt fail and you want to try it again, or if you just want to do the mission again even if you succeed, this is one of the missions that has a Trip Skip option available should you happen to fail the mission the first time. This allows you to bypass the traveling parts both to where you meet up with Cesar Vialpando at Blueberry as well as the trip towards Angel Pine.
