Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Hints & Tricks

Easy Firearms & Body Armor

Head out behind your Los Santos house and go into the aqueduct. Go down the slope and head right along the walkway to locate a nice Mini SMG. You'll also find a Pistol in Sweet's backyard.

To get body armor, go out behind the house and into the aqueduct to the left. Go down the sloped wall of the aqueduct and head left. On an incline underneath the bridge, you'll find a vest.

Easy Money for Cleaning the Hood

Killing drug dealers is one of the fastest ways to build up your cash.

Anytime you kill a drug dealer, you will net $2000. Drug dealers normally wear black jackets and stand still, waiting for people to talk to them.

Earn easy weapon skill

To earn easy weapon skills, go and get any two cars and place them in your Grove St home garage. Then with the weapon of your choice, shoot the cars until they are nearly on fire. Then walk away from the garage so it can close. Walk up to the garage again, and you will notice that the cars are repaired.

Repeat this process, as it is one of the fastest ways to earn weapon skills in the game. To check your progress with weapon skill, switch to the weapon that you want to check, go to STATS in the menu, and then go down to WEAPONS. The number there is how many skill points you have.

You need 1000 skill points to reach the Hitman level with a weapon.

Weapon skill in REUNITING THE FAMILIES mission

To earn some easy weapon skills, practice with an AK-47 before starting this mission until you reach Gangster level. During the mission, blast on as many cop vehicles as you can. The AK-47 deals a lot of damage at the gangster level so there is a good chance you will hit HITMAN during the mission.
