Out of the six I know of, only one are you *supposed* to get. The others require a bit of ingenuity and a bit of luck to obtain. All of the bulletproof cars that can be resprayed can do so without losing their special endowments, so if you dislike your bulletproof car's color, you can cruise on over to the Pay 'N Spray and change it. Best of luck to you! Each of the cars will be shown in a simple data sheet. Here's how it will look... Location: The city where the car can be obtained. Mission: The mission you can get the car in. Difficulty: The difficulty of obtaining the car. It will be rated from one to five stars. Method: The method of obtaining the car. ********************************** 2.0 - The Cars ********************************** **** Patriot **** Location: Staunton Island Mission: Marked Man Difficulty: * Method: This is, by far, the easiest bulletproof car to obtain. The mission before it, Marked Man, can be tricky, but to obtain the car all you have to do is cruise over to Ray's lockup and take the Patriot. **** Cheetah **** Location: Portland Mission: Turismo Difficulty: *** Method: To get the Cheetah, you'll need two tanks. Use the tank cheat to get them, since the tanks you get with the cheat do not vanish, unlike a normal tank. Park the two tanks along the road outside your hideout, on the far side of the entrance from the intersection just down the street. Now start the Turismo mission. Go down to the staring line and tap one of the Cheetahs with your car, starting the race instantly, then drive back to your hideout as fast as you can. When you get there, set your view to the top-down view, since it's easier to keep a Cheetah in your sights in the top-down mode. Get into one of the tanks and wait. At around 100 seconds into the race, the three Cheetahs will come roaring down the road, going the wrong way. They'll plow straight into the tanks, and at least one will get knocked into your hideout - if you're lucky, it'll fall onto its back. Once all three have hit the tanks, drive into your hideout and hit the Cheetah there, causing it to explode. This is where it gets tricky - using the tank, you have to push the blown-up Cheetah into your garage. If you have trouble controlling the tank, you can park a smaller car inside the hideout and use it as well. Remember this, though: If you have any major part of the Cheetah inside your garage, DO NOT get out of your vehicle or pull away. The door will close on the Cheetah, causing it to vanish. You also cannot let the Cheetah out of your sights or it will vanish. Either way, once you've gotten the Cheetah in your garage, you'll probably get a message saying 'You cannot fit more than one car into this garage' (if you're still in your car when the door closes with the Cheetah inside). Get out of your car and check in the garage, and there's your shiny, new Cheetah. The Cheetah is also impervious to fire and explosions. Enjoy! **** Securicar **** Location: Portland Mission: Van Heist Difficulty: ** Method: The only problem you might have getting the Securicar is the mission itself. Ram the Securicar until the driver gets out, but instead of taking it to the Securicar Cracking garage, head back to your hideout - I don't know if it will fit into the Portland garage, so if it doesn't, use the flying car cheat or the jumping car cheat to hop the broken bridge to Staunton as I did. Park the Securicar in the garage, but since the mission is still going on, you'll have to destroy it - preferably with a method that won't hurl it out of the garage. Once it has blown up and you get a mission failed notification, leave the garage then enter again, and you've got a bulletproof Securicar. **** Bobcat **** Location: Staunton Island Mission: Evidence Dash Difficulty: **** Method: By far the toughest bulletproof car to get. Like the Cheetah, this Bobcat is bulletproof, fireproof, and explosion proof. To start, you'll need a big, tough truck like a Barracks OL or a Flatbed. Find the Bobcat carrying the evidence and ram it to flip it onto its hood. You'll get a notification about this car being a decoy - don't worry about it. This part is what's tough. You have to take whatever vehicle you might be driving and push the Bobcat all the way back across town to your garage. Let it go off screen for too long and it's gone, although it can last longer out of your sights than the elusive Cheetah. Depending on where you flipped the Bobcat, it could be easy to get or tough to get. **** Stretch **** Location: Portland Mission: Salvatore's Called A Meeting Difficulty: * Method: Just when I thought all the BP cars had been discovered, here I am proved wrong. The bulletproof Stretch is flameproof, explosion proof, and reportedly damage-proof as well. The best part is, it's a slick looking jet black Mafia Stretch. It is also quite easy to obtain. After you leave Toni's, head for Joey's garage, but don't go into the blue circle. Park a car up against the wall, then enter the faster game play cheat twice (Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, L1, L2) and run between the car and Joey's garage. It's a bit tricky to get it right, and hard to explain in writing, but once you get it, you'll be pushed through the wall and into Joey's garage. Get into the Stretch waiting there, then back out through the back wall. You'll fall through 'blue hell' for a few moments, and then you'll pop out on the street behind the garage. Take the Stretch to Staunton Island via the flying cars cheat over the bridge, and then put it in the garage. You'll then have to find some way to blow it up, which is tough because the Stretch is bulletproof, flameproof, and explosion proof. My recommendation is to use the Blow Up All Cars cheat. You could try detonating another car next to it to set it on fire, but I doubt it will work. ********************************** 3.0 - Closing ********************************** **** Contact **** Contact me at [email protected] if you have information about any more bulletproof cars, possible or confirmed, or have noticed any errors in my FAQ.
