O.K., Emohawk & Small_Fryz, I`ll do my best to explain my killing rampage methods. Keep in mind that this is how
I play, and is fun for me, but may suck and/or be boring to you or anyone else. So, without further ado...
First, Spuds has touched on what`s probably the single most important tactic to "learn"(providing you want to stay alive). It`s this...COVER! Since there`s two-count`em TWO heli`s after you, cover is way more important than in VC (imo). So, where to take cover & what to do there?
It`ll be easier & quicker if I show you, so...
Cranberry Station. I torch the peds inside with molotovs, and run in & out of the place killing people(mostly cops) across the street with the mini-gun and molotovs. You can blow up lots of vehicles passing by too. Just go crazy.
That tank sitting there is mine. Cranberry Station is great if you want to take a tank away from one of those military butt-plugs. Either stand by the front door, or go around to the south side of the building, & wait for him to get out, then bust a cap off in his arse! I use the M4, `cause I like to give them some of thier own medicine
. Just make sure a nearby cop (one that managed to survive!) doesn`t bust you, & make sure the tank driver actually gets out; sometimes they stay inside the tank and try to run you over (sucks when that happens).
This is directly behind Cranberry Station, under the overpass in SF. It`s a decent place to shoot down choppers & get a few kills. During the daytime hours, peds spawn up & down the sidewalk out there. I mostly cut them down with the mini-gun, although falling & exploding choppers do a nice job of landing on top of them too, & looks kinda cool
. You have to stand close to the edge, otherwise choppers won`t spawn. Also, kill the cops that keep coming at you(I molotov`em). Don`t forget about the armour pick-up either!
This is very near the import/export dock. I go here to destroy a crapload of road vehicles. If you`re gonna rampage here, don`t shoot down the news chopper. You`ll only have to deal with one cop heli that way. Try and shoot down the approaching police chopper asap so it`ll fall & explode before it gets too close to CJ. This is a bad location to shoot down lots of helis because they tend to fall on or near him.
Now this is one of my favorite rampage areas, right next to CJ`s pay n spray. Shoot down choppers as you please, & throw molotovs on top of the tanks, military trucks, military idiots, & ped vehicles that accumilate in the lane below. I could do that for hours! Oops, I already do
. Below is some other stuff I like to do.
You can drive around in a stolen tank, shooting at anything & everything. Remember that the tank won`t last forever. Just get another one!
Jack a motorcycle & do forward drive-bys. I prefer the police bike for this, as it seems less likely for CJ to get knocked off. It`s fairly simple to cruise around with six stars, just be ready to run for cover if your tires get shot out. This actually happened to me today. I was in the vicinity of Palisades(near where Katie lives), & came upon a roadblock. So I jumped off the bike & ran behind a house, threw molotovs at the cops that were surrounding me, and ran up the street. Of course a tank came along, stopped, and the driver got out. I popped him with the M4, got in & drove the tank back to Cranberry Station, kicking a$$ all the way!
Grab a Hunter, usually from my airstrip. If you want an automatic five stars(sometimes I do), take the one from the naval base. This one`s a no-brainer...blow crap up!!
Take the Rhino from Grove St. & tear a$$ towards SF, destroying everything possible. I haven`t done this lately, it`s about freakin` time to do it again! 💡
If you want to shoot down choppers and not be bothered with anything else, go on top of the pyramid in LV. The slanted sides make the choppers fall away from CJ. You can stay up there indefinately, except you`ll have to get down to eat. Go inside your safehouse to lose the wanted level. You can make it easily, I`ve never gotten killed doing that.
P.S.-I don`t do this anymore. I stay in SF.
So, that`s about it boys. Hopefully I haven`t forgotten anything, but this is basically what I do everytime I play. All the places are within easy walking distance, armor is nearby, plus there`s a Sprunk machine in front of Cranberry Station. Like I said in a different thread, if you need fat, just grab a tank & go to a restaurant. I also grab the armor pick-up near Zero`s if I need to(cruise there in a tank, of course).
Oh, I use the molotovs & mini-gun because they don`t damage CJ. Rocket-launchers and grenades are fun, but it`s much too easy to injure him accidentially when using`em. Have Fun!
