How to create savable health, armor and weapons pick-ups.

During Robbing Uncle Sam, when a crate is destroyed it may create the 6 different random pick-ups. Below are the results you can expect after destroying a crate:
1 - Health
2 - Armor
3 - 9mm pistol
4 - Tec9
5 - Grenade
6 - Shotgun (I didnt get any on this video but I got in the higher sample save I did later)
7 - Nothing (when unlucky).
All those pick-ups are 1 time only. Meaning that if you use one of them they are removed from your save.
Up to 10 crates can be destroyed before the mission is failed, so if you are lucky you may be able to create 10 pick-ups per each Robbing Uncle Sam dupe. Multiple dupes can be done to generate more pick-ups.
You can create the pick-ups wherever you are able to transport the crates. Take them to the place where you want to create the pick-ups and destroy them there. Be careful as people attacking you or the traffic may end up destroying them.
To avoid the game from getting rid of the pick-ups you must dupe the mission before failing. The pick-ups are kept after saving and loading a game but they can only be used once, after that they are gone forever.
I like transporting the crates before opening the door of the warehouse so there are no soldiers attacking Ryder. Before duping the mission I do open the door to avoid a permanent red blip.
Gang wars can also create health and armor pick-ups but unlike the ones created here they are not kept after loading a savefile.
To have a higher sample size I did 5 Robbing Uncle Sams dupes to break a total of 50 crates. The thumbnail of the video is the result of the sample of 50 crates destroyed. If anyone wants this savefile I will share a link below:

I often wondered if people could utilize this mission mechanic (crate thing) to any percent run for example, but wow, this is something else. It's really cool!

[@Kay13Jay]

Never cease to amaze.

[@Rhans]

Thanks Kay Jay. I love that line.

P.S. SA Folklift is the best! I used to mess around in one of the back streets of South West San Fierro, creating a temporally barricade/walls using the folklift with large garbage containers common in the area. (And fought 6 star police) It was also fun to find explosive barrels in the map and place them on roads, and watch a car hit it and explode😂 (I think one of the rural riverside gas stations across the river from LV area had a few. Maybe they were more like propane canisters. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the thing can be used for speedrun in some way. Like placing the barrel in the way of an enemy vehicle. Player doesn't need to detonate them unlike satchel charge, so if there's a situation where you have a non-explosion proof enemy vehicle, precisely placed barrel may do the work for you... all just a thought experiment. I suspect the game will dispawn it after a loading screen like it dispawns vehicles, and I think these interactible objects can't be moved very far from where they spawn anyway, so I doubt they are likely to come in handy, though.)

In my 16 years of playing this game i’ve never found anything like this 😳 i got so used to videos like “hidden features you didn’t know about in gta sa” i thought i’ve literally gone thru everything but this one just blew my mind 👏👏 i’m glad there are still youtubers like you discovering new stuff like this 💯💯 keep up the good work my bro and you just earned a sub

[@Rhans]

Thanks Ron. I am really gald to hear that. This is the kind of video I enjoy the most to upload and there are still some nice things to be discovered in gta sa.

[@krefcik772]

Already feels nostalgic, after doing it myself on my own, having heart pickup at grove street

[@Rhans]

Yeah! There are other places it could be nice placing the pickups but the first one that came to my mind as Grove Street. The only annoying part is that you have to be lucky if you want a specific pickup.

[@krefcik772]

yeah it took me a while hah

[@masakovske]

Well done. I think there might be a way this can be used in ILs, no?

[@Rhans]

Thanks! It can but I am still not sure where they could help. The best use I could think so far is placing them in a way the could help you remember a route.

[@ItsYoBoiAyozz]

Also rhans i have a question its not about this video, but since you're the one who teach me about the territory glitch i got a question some of my territory don't have gang members spawning like after i did the territory glitch i was shock that i got all los santos but i didn't see some gang members spawning tho

[@ItsYoBoiAyozz]

@@Rhans ohh that's why there's no one spawnin in the countryside i got thanks for the information

[@ItsYoBoiAyozz]

@@Rhans also which territory does gang members spawn?

[@Rhans]

@@ItsYoBoiAyozz I dont have a list organized like the one I sent earlier, but basically every territory that is not on that list should spawn gang member (on some territories that are on the middle of nothing or above water like SANB, you can see gang member spawning on the street close to it but not on the territory itself).

[@ItsYoBoiAyozz]

@@Rhans oh alright thanks mate

[@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook]

Question, is there a limit to how much pickups the game can store, and do these ever despawn?

[@XrL72]

Neat trick! Ya never know when things like this could come in handy.

[@Rhans]

Thanks! Indeed, I get surprised all the time but for now I still cant think of an application.

[@Vlad0bu]

Awesome! I'll always appreciate your work and videos and I'm an old fan of your channel, although I haven't played video games in general in the last year and a half. Even though for me looks useless this trick, it's really interesting to exploit the mechanics of the game and as I said, I truly appreciate your work and thus, I hit the like button. Would've been interesting if we could do that with stronger guns and make them show permanently every 6 hours in-game. Also, would be wonderful if we can create pick up locations permanently for any kind of vehicle, including vehicles with full immune properties. LOL LOL LOL!

[@Rhans]

Thanks for your support VladX. You had some interesting ideas, it would be really nice achieving them.

[@Bnd.-]

@@Rhans Well it is possible to save the Proofed vehicles into save on remaster right ;)

[@peharda]

​@@Rhansplz man for gods sake do it

[@KISSbestfan]

Never understood why Rockstar bothered to Code this feature, that 90% of players wouldnt even Discover to begin with, and to top that never used again in any mission later.

[@Rhans]

Indeed. It is a really interesting feature that is barely used.

[@FAM3Kane]

Well this sounds like some modded game lol

[@Rhans]

It really resembles a modded game. There are so many glitches and exploits possible in this game that if you use all of them it can give very weird and interesting results.

[@suchakreelaokom9494]

Wow

[@Rhans]

Thanks! And it is nice to see you here!
