Grand Theft
Auto: San Andreas features the largest game world out of any game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Because of this, you may need some help knowing just what to do in the expansive game world in order to get ahead. Below, you can find a number of hints that will get you started in the right direction.
Weapons
When you find a weapon you like, try to stick with it. The more you use a weapon, the more your skill with that particular weapon will increase, allowing you to shoot faster and more accurately, move faster while shooting and, if you are using a one-handed weapon, wield two such weapons once you reach the maximum skill level for that weapon.
While you can buy guns at any Ammu-Nation, you can get access to potent weapons before they are even sold at Ammu-Nation. By spraying all 100 tags in the Los Santos area, an AK-47 Assault Rifle, Sawed-off Shotgun, Tec-9 Submachine Gun, and Molotov Cocktails will appear in the kitchen at the Johnson house, giving you a substantial arsenal for no cost. They will be replaced every day once you pick them up.
You can also cause the Micro Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle and Grenades to spawn at the Xoomer garage in Doherty, which lies outside of San Fierro, by getting all 50 snapshots in the Badlands area. Possible snapshots are marked by a throbbing white glow between midnight and 5:00 AM. However, the snapshots are also marked by a camera symbol, which can only be seen through your own camera's range finder, 24 hours a day.
Finally, if you manage to collect all 50 horseshoes in the Desert area, you will get access to the most powerful weapons in the game, including the Combat Shotgun, Remote Explosives, M-4 Assault Rifle and MP-5 Submachine Gun. They will spawn in at The Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas.
Burglary
While a number of side missions give you access to reliable sources of income, burglary can get you something much more valuable once you have gathered $10,000 worth of loot. Once you have reached this point, you will receive the infinite sprint, allowing you to sprint for prolonged periods of time without have to stop and catch your breath.
You can start burglary missions while driving a black Boxville truck between the hours of 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Once you have started the burglary mission, houses and apartments that can be burglarized will be marked with an inverted yellow cone by the front door.
Girlfriends
If you are tired of losing your weapons if you happen to get busted or wasted, there are two girlfriends who can easily get you out of both situations. The first of these girlfriends, Barbara the policewoman, can get you out of jail after you get busted with all of your weapons and no fine. You can find Barbara at the police station in El Quebrados in the desert area. The second girlfriend, Katie, can get you out of the hospital with all of your weapons and no fee. Katie can be found at Avispa Country Club in San Fierro.
