GTA San Andreas - Obtaining Unique/BP/FP S.W.A.T. and AP/EC2 Arctic White Greenwood (Method 1)

*Annoying Cops? Check. Tons of Peds with Pistols? Check. Slow rotating camera? Check. A nightmare of pure NRG in the making.*

Happy 20 years to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

[@LethalVaccine]

For sure! It'll keep living on, too. Why are we still playing games from 2001-2004? Reasons. New games seriously suck, if you ask me.

[@dannyperdomo391]

@@LethalVaccine definitely. Now it's all micro transactions and DLCs and all. That's why we all prefer old video games. I don't think I'll get GTA 6. But, if you wanna get GTA 6 to find special vehicles, that's on you.

[@LethalVaccine]

Yeah, I have very mixed feelings about GTA VI. Some of me says get it, eventually, but another part of me says, who cares, and to move on, honestly. At this point, I am almost already moved on. I plan to make no more Guides or do anything with what is CURRENTLY on the Channel. The only addition would be GTA VI, and if I care, which I highly doubt, as you said. The only thing I am doing now, behind the scenes, is working on Save File Assembling for GTA IV and GTA V, as my last things I do before I seriously move on from all of this. I've just finished my new and improved GTA IV Starter Save on PS3 and now will soon begin working on SIX total 100% Save Files with 10 Special Vehicles in each, and all AP when all is said and done, too. After all, this was the reason I built the PC I did in July 2022 and have the Specs inside of it that I do. I have it for Emulation. And the PS3 Emulator (RPCS3) takes resources as does other Emulators for Xbox and Switch and stuff. So yeah, my PC can handle it all and why not use it for what I bought it for? So yeah, I am happily, but very slowly working on GTA IV for PS3 and when I finish, I will post the Save File Showcase Video and move onto GTA V for PS3. Will do a new Starter Save and FOUR to SIX 100% Saves there, with all the Special Vehicles I want, then will post THAT Showcase Video and I am done here. I may also do GTA V on PC, but we'll see. I have a current 100% Save already, but yeah, might redo that one. I am not redoing anything anymore, and I won't even update stuff. Sick of all of this. Done. So if you have any questions with stuff, just ask...

[@dannyperdomo391]

Bro, I was able to get both the AP Greenwood and BP/FP SWAT tank. I lived through hell obtaining both.

[@LethalVaccine]

Yeah, obtaining both on PS2/Xbox/PC at the same time, and without OM0, is likely in the top three most annoying tasks in the entire game for Special Vehicle related purposes. I guess Mobile will also have to use the same Method, too. DE is the only Platform that has a MUCH EASIER Method to obtain them at the same time.

[@dannyperdomo391]

@@LethalVaccine here's a tip: if you wanna get the Turismo and Bullet to make it EP/FP, get it during Los Sepulcros; the wanted level kicks in, but no cops will get involved.

[@LethalVaccine]

Ok, well, I get them in the beginning, in my Starter Save, so I don't have to bother with them over and over when I want to go to 100% with all Special Vehicles. Gets tiring getting a Phoenix, over and over, before *Gray Imports* and such when you can get it, along with Bullet, Turismo, and everything else *in the beginning.* Also, people like challenges. Imagine that...

[@DrJohnCarpet]

I appreciate the work you do. - John Carpet

[@LethalVaccine]

Thanks dude!

[@youbaouahdi4358]

Hats off to you, I will never have the patience to do this, not getting an extra mission attempt in the stats is not worth my sanity lol. Good video as always

[@LethalVaccine]

Thanks! Yeah, only in my PS2 Save (and using Save States, just like this Video) have I done this before and at the time, I used a much longer Method, without the Rhino, which took nearly 90 minutes as opposed to 46 in this Video, so it's HALF the length when using the Rhino! In all of my other Saves, like on PC and Mobile, I obtained them SEPARATELY and just took the TWO Mission Attempts instead of ONE. So I totally agree with you on that one, especially if you're using a Controller for the task. It's much more manageable with using the Mouse Controls for easier Camera Control. As for DE, there is a MUCH EASIER Method to get both of these for ONE Mission Attempt, and it takes less than 20 minutes. Something you can do first try, in fact. To me, it's THAT EASY, unlike this. And, thanks!

[@ElInciensoDelCatorcentrismo]

This a nice method thanks for the advice!

[@LethalVaccine]

Much better than using CJ's body alone to push the HEAVY wreck of the S.W.A.T. back like before. My old Video was 1 hour and 28 minutes. This is 46 minutes...And...It can be quicker if you get lucky and have good RNG with Cops/Peds/Garage.

[@dannyperdomo391]

Most pain in the neck strategy ever done

[@LethalVaccine]

Yeah, in terms of "Classic" SA, meaning, the Rockstar Ports released to PS2, Xbox, and PC, I find THIS to be THE WORST of them all (without OM0). The next worst is likely the DP Leviathan. Nothing else compares. If you add in OM0, though, there is some nightmares...Even worse. Like the three RC Vehicles from *New Model Army.* There's also Methods Exclusive to DE, or a Method that HAS TO BE USED for DE to obtain an old Vehicle, that absolutely sucks compared to "Method 1" which you can usually use on all of the "Classic" SA's. But yeah, there is way too much RNG involved for me to care about this even happening. It's why I still have the S.W.A.T. and Greenwood SEPARATE and WITHOUT Save States still in my Guide. Doing this is SO MUCH EASIER on DE, but that is because you don't have to deal with Riots and people shooting at you the entire time. Method 2 is for DE and is simple. Doesn't need Save States. First try type of thing. This? No way...And I reloaded over ten times before saying "no more" and just reloading a Save State, instead. Every attempt, the same stuff would happen at the staircase. Pain in the ass, for sure...

[@dannyperdomo391]

@@LethalVaccine speaking of DP Leviathan, I was able to get it to the impound with a Dune after living through hell.

[@LethalVaccine]

It is hell, indeed. The Impound part is one thing, but I even find the part where you need to "land" the damn thing and jack it and then fly it to the Impound. I mess this part up MORE THAN the Impound part. I never make it in time, most times resulting in the Cutscene to play out. Either that, or yeah, the Impound will delete it or something in the process of pushing it.

[@叠]

The end is getting closa!

[@LethalVaccine]

For sure.

[@RodrigoS455]

Can I also use Dune? It seems heavy but is there any problem with damaging it?

[@LethalVaccine]

Nope. The Dune will break down before you get it back to the Garage...The Rhino, while not being DP, can withstand a LOT of damage in the process, so it's likely the only way. The Rhino spawns inside of Area 69. Easy to go there and steal one and bring it back to Ganton and store it in the Garage. You can even have something like the AP PCJ-600 inside of the Ganton Garage when all of this is going down, too. Rhino and Dune are almost the same in that Garage. You have room. And, in both cases, you need ONE of these in the Garage before you begin, period.

[@GTAClassicGamer99]

Pedestrians helping you hitting Sweet's car lol

[@LethalVaccine]

Yes, but the Greenwood is AP, thus MP at that time. So their punches are not doing any damage. Only the Parachute is causing damage and getting it destroyed, lol... They do this only because of the "riots" going on after passing *Riot* and before passing *End of the Line.* The City is just in pure chaos.

[@KaneWilliams570]

Do you really think if recruiting homies and obtaining this vehicle while you have homies recruited would be useful if the cops are disturbing you?

[@LethalVaccine]

Not really. They aren't THAT helpful and usually get far away from CJ. Besides, I've seen them blast away at the Cops even without recruiting any. If they just see a Cop shooting at CJ, they usually join in and shoot back for you.

[@KaneWilliams570]

@@LethalVaccineYeah sir that is true, maybe 50 or 75% of the times, the homies you recruitered, dont even react anything when the cops are disturbing you

[@윤정혁-j8t]

Which stats do I have to care when making gta 5 starter/100 saves? Watching your videos, I checked your stats and made starter, some 100 saves of all the other gta games, but there's no gta 5 save video yet. No unnecessary death/getting arrested is needed, and just like gta 4, no riding taxi or train. And like gta sa, no unnecessary vehicle repair, modding. Unless we get some special vehicles.

[@LethalVaccine]

I don't really remember. I have not done a Starter Save since, like 2019, and when I do it on PS3, it'll be in the months to come. Not redoing it on PC, but doing 100% Saves based off what I already have done from, once again, years ago. I forget all the tiny details of Stats in GTA V. Besides, there is no Stats, if you ask me...You can probably also get away with using Autosave and not even saving the game, on Next Gen, thus reducing all the Safehouse Visits. Figure it out on your own, I guess. I am not doing that right now. Either wait for me, a long time, or do it yourself... But yeah, I guess what you said...It's all the same as IV and stuff, just now...You can fail a Mission 96856856958695869586958658695695 times, cuz...No Stats. You also will get a Stat every time you use a Method that forces you to "mod" a Vehicle so it appears in the Impound later on...

[@gson2709]

Before I can get the video and upload on youtube, I tried many times and I usually fail by 2 stars wanted level cops Well, 46 minutes, best record on ps2

[@LethalVaccine]

It's not a Record, because I used Save States. If I didn't, then, yeah, sure, but yeah, since used, it's invalid. Method still works, though, and you proven that and did NOT use Save States. Your whole Video is around 30 minutes. So this entire thing still can be done quicker and without any Save States. It just always seems WORSE on PS2. Funny when I try and get the Rhino down the stairs in the first instance...You had ZERO issues there, lol...I had plenty. I always said this, though...It would always appear more people struggle on PS2 as opposed to PC when doing the SAME EXACT task. You almost had NO ISSUES, other than when you REACHED Ganton. I had issues since before even reaching the stairs. Oh, and if I try and do what you did, with using a Gun on the Greenwood, get it to catch on fire, and enter Red Marker, game freezes.

[@gson2709]

Game freeze when you try enter the car while catch fire, strange. And I have some recommend, if you get 2 stars while near ganton garage, you just active end of the line and quickly rotate camera to 2 wrecks. After actived mission, you don't need to worry about cop at all You see that I don't have NO issues? It depends luck at all, still requires more skills, but if you have some luck you can get them bit easier Before I have lucky, I tried about 20 times and I thought I give up but I just keep trying and finally I success

[@LethalVaccine]

Yeah, but you can zoom that rotating camera around like nothing. I can't. Nobody can. It has nothing to do with skill. It has everything to do with you using a Mouse over a Controller to rotate it. Even if I play PC Version (which I do) and use my Controller (which I do) it makes it basically the speed of CONSOLE with rotating the camera on foot and in a Vehicle and stuff. It's 10X slower, I'd say, honestly. So you can easily just turn it 180 degrees and run away from the gun fire. I can't. I have to stop CJ. Turn the camera. Then run. In that time? My Health/Armor is being shredded. If you don't believe me, just try it. Connect a Controller to your PC and play SA. You will soon realize. Or better yet, try this even on PCSX2 with a Controller. Will be identical to playing on a real PS2 Console, too. IT'S SLOW! Yeah, that is the RNG I keep speaking about. I've reloaded the actual SAVE about TEN times, and all ten times, the same sort of outcomes would keep happening. Then, I stopped doing that, and just would do a Save State, and when something ridiculous or time wasting would occur, I would reload the State, and "try again." The "try again" moments are all at that stupid staircase, which on PC, due to better Draw Distance, you can already put the S.W.A.T. there to begin with, unlike me on PS2 due to HORRIBLE Draw Distance. It's all just nonsense, and this is why I leave the Vehicles SEPARATE in my Guide, too, and without Save States, since, honestly, I bet more people do that than this. Yes, during *End of the Line* there is no Wanted Level. But if you activate Mission, you have an Attempt. Need to do SOMETHING with it. Likely needing to get AP/EC2 Feltzer next, in that very attempt or else you have an attempt for no reason.

[@gson2709]

Yes, I believe you. I tried playing on pcsx2 and obtaining ec2 perenniral and it's very hard to control camera, mouse on pc is very easy to control camera After I see you do this, I decide that if I can play this on ps2, I also not obtain them together

[@LethalVaccine]

Believe me, this kind of task is only doable for people with the Mouse. Yeah, you can succeed with a Controller, too, especially with Save States, but even without, but it would take DAYS of attempts, and something I am not really looking to do, especially since your Video exists showing the same thing done, but quicker and no Save States. It's why I have always been quite proud of what I've been able to do over the years using a Controller, trying to match what people do with ease on PC, using the Mouse. It's seriously not easy. The DP Leviathan on a Controller is also quite insane to pull off. It's actually easier on Mobile with Touch Screen Controls only because Mobile can lock on using the Minigun. Free Aim with a Controller is a pain, as is the slow rotating camera. But yeah, only with Save States and when I did my PS2 Saves last year have I pulled this off. When I got these for my own PC and Mobile Saves, I just obtained each separately. But, for DE, I got both at the same time, cuz it's EASY, first try stuff, no luck at all. Either way, glad this Video and yours exists now. Now I can move on. I also updated PCSX2 to Version 2.0.2 now. When I wake up tomorrow and after I run 4 miles, I will hopefully be recording the DP/EP/FP/MP Rancher with Pass (For PC, Mobile, and DE) and that EP/FP Tornado. Once I succeed, I will upload both of them. That will just leave the EC2 Sultan with Pass and Unique/EP/FP RC Baron from *Beefy Baron* with a Method 2, for DE, and no OM0. Then I think I will be done with Videos for a while as I work on GTA V for PC, using Project 127, which uses Patch 1.27 exclusively. It'll take a while, though, as I have a heavy workload at work in real life, too. But on the side, I will still work on it, of course, cuz who doesn't have hobbies and stuff? LOL...
