Unlockable Costumes:
-----------------------
To unlock Costumes you must complete level 3 of a weapon challenge, this
can be done by talking to Fiona at your PMC, Each time you complete a
level 3 weapon challenge you will receive one of three costumes.
Repair Vehicle Instantly:
------------------------
If you enter a building and then exit any vehicle you have left outide
will be fully repaired.
Easy challenges:
----------------
Bet the maximum money for the level 1 and 2 challenges, then save and reload
the game until you win. Bet the minimum money for the level 3 challenge.
Easy money:
-----------
After completing the first UP mission and recruiting Ewan, talk to him about
the Winch challenge. After completing level 3 on this challenge, bet the
maximum amount of money. Even though you have already done this, the height
does not raise. Therefore you can continue betting at the maximum amount.
After approximately four times (depending on how much you start with), you
should have about $7.0 million. Continue from here to get the maximum wager
amount to $5.0 million (when you have about $14.0 million in funds). Repeat
this as many times as desired. Additionally, when you get the maximum betting
level on the Winch challenge, keep going until you get to approximately $100
million. The minimum bet will now also be $5 million. If you continue from
there, the minimum will actually grow higher than the maximum and allow for
even more money. However, once the minimum goes beyond $5 million, there is
no way you can raise or lower the bet because it is higher than the maximum,
but it is still the minimum. Note: To save time in the Winch challenge, use
stackable items from outside of your stronghold. For example, try the gas
canisters across the road (or for something less volatile, use the shipping
containers directly across the lake behind your house). Items used from outside
of your stronghold stay in the exact location you put them until you quit
your game, giving you a prepared stack height the next time around. Two or
three attempts may be required to gather the items, but it is well worth it,
as once done it requires only seconds to win the challenge.
Easy transport and smuggling missions:
--------------------------------------
Note: This trick only works after you have obtained a helicopter pilot and
the winch ability. When on a transport or smuggling contract that relies on
you not tipping the vehicle and losing the objects inside, summon a helicopter
as close to the vehicle as possible before entering the mission assigned
vehicle. Then, enter the mission vehicle, and the timer should start. Get
back out, and take off in your helicopter. Use the winch to grab the mission
vehicle, and gain as much altitude as possible. If you fly relatively level,
you will not lose anything. However, if you bank even slightly to get around
obstacles, losses will be minimal as long as you do not actually bank the
copter in a hard turn. The vehicle will get tossed around, making the copter
harder to fly; but if you travel directly to the drop-off point from the
beginning, it will keep its cargo. This helps you avoid nearly all ground
forces. All you have to worry about are the anti-air guns and other
helicopters. If worst comes to worst, simply drop the vehicle after coming
down to about 20 feet or less. You will have already have saved enough time
to hijack another helicopter.
Easy vehicle repair:
--------------------
Park your vehicle outside of a building you can enter, then enter the
building and exit. Your vehicle should now be completely repaired with
full ammunition.
Getting 100% completion:
------------------------
Successfully complete all outpost missions before you initiate the final
mission in Story mode. The outpost missions can no longer be accessed after
the game is completed, which will also prevent a faction's shop items from
being unlocked.
Bonus equipment:
-----------------
Successfully complete the indicated task to unlock the equipment:
Ambassador gunship - Successfully complete level 3 of the Helicopter Flying
mission
Carpet Bomb - Check Commander Leviathan's job list before the final
Allies or China mission. Complete the job to unlock the
Carpet Bomb for purchace.
Diplomat heavy tank - Destroy the targeted buildings for the Allied Nations
MOAB bomb - Successfully complete all HVT missions for the Allied Nations
Nuclear Bunker Buster - Successfully complete the final contract mission, "Get Solano
Part 2" to unlock it for purchase from Eva for $1 million
Defeating Carmona:
------------------
When Carmona's men are attacking the PMC, after you destroy the tanks, set a
charge of C4 on the gates closer to the mansion, and detonate it. It should
drop straight down and block the road leading out of the compound. Enter the
mansion, and trigger the intermission sequence. When you exit the building,
the road leading out of the compound will still be blocked. Kill Carmona's
bodyguards, and his jeep should be stuck in the rubble of the archway. Kill
him, and snap the picture for easy verification of Carmona.
When completing the mission on the oil rig in the water behind the PMC, kill
Blanco and take his weapon, the hunting pistol. The hunting pistol is a very
powerful weapon, often killing enemies in one shot. With the hunting pistol
in your possession, continue through the "Finding Solano" mission. After the
encounter with Carmona inside the Villa, he will run in a straight line
directly away from you, giving you a clear shot at his back. If you miss
on the first shot, he has a good bit of a jog until he reaches his jeep,
giving you plenty of time to gun him down.
Alternate costumes:
-------------------
Successfully complete a level 3 weapon challenge at the PMC Villa with Fiona
to unlock the corresponding costume in order for the indicated character.
There are a total of three costumes for each character. The Pistol challenge
is the easiest to complete. The Emplacement Weapons and Grenade Launcher
challenges are about even; however, Emplacement Weapons is slightly more
difficult when you have to shoot the flying cars. The Sniper challenge is
the most difficult to complete.
