Gameplay Tips

Don't Save After Cheating: Rockstar warns that saving your game while cheats are active can cause bugs or corrupt your save file. Always create a "clean" save before cheating.
Master the Rhino Tank: The Rhino is nearly indestructible. It’s perfect for clearing out difficult missions or just creating mayhem without worrying about dying.
Wanted Level Management: Keep the "Lower Wanted Level" code handy. If you accidentally trigger a massive police response, you can instantly escape.
Utilize Better Handling: If you find driving in Vice City frustrating, the "Better Handling" cheat makes vehicles stick to the road much better, which is great for high-speed chases.
Flying Cars for Hidden Packages: Using the "Flying Cars" cheat makes it much easier to reach hidden packages located on rooftops or isolated areas.
