Hints

How To Get YAH-56 Gunship Without Attacting It

Go to the second procince and go to the Allied base. Once there you will find a small hill behind it. Climb it and wait if you wait long enough you will discover that you are right in the gunship's path of servalence.

Gun Kick

After you kill an enemy they will drop their gun. After they drop it walk up to it and press Square it will send the gun flying and sometimes into enemies.

Fun With The Mafia

First, hijack a car outside the mafia garage and put a C4 on it. Now, sell the car to the mafia and run after you are on the other side of the road detonate it. Then, the building explodes and Russians run around yelling and shooting you.

Huge Explosions

In the second province, find Sinuiji Harbor. One of the buildings in the far left has seven explosive barrels all stacked. Not too far from them are a lot more explosives. Move as many explosives as desired to the original stack and shoot it to make a huge explosion. In the first province at Ichon, there are a few sets of nukes underground. Get in a helicopter and shoot a couple of missiles to blow them up and see a huge shockwave. Note: You must first complete the mission where you must blow up the nukes on top of them.

Double Car Bomb

Put a some C4 on the hood of your car, before you do the "Drive a flaming vehicle" trick. Find something to drive your flaming car into (gates, towers, enemies, cars, etc.). Press L1 to jump out of the car while it is moving. Wait until it explodes from the flames, then detonate the C4.

Drive A Flaming Vehicle

Enable the "Infinite health" code and shoot the vehicle until it starts to burn. Jump in and drive off. Alternately, get into the car and drive it into something until its health gets under 20. As soon as this happens, press Select and enable the "Infinite health" code. Note: This trick does not work on helicopters. They will only bounce around on the ground when you try to take off.

YAH-56 Gunship

The YAH-56 Gunship is the most powerful helicopter in the game; it is armed with rapid-fire 30mm cannon (grenade launcher), anti-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, and dumb-fire rockets. You must have an anti-armor rifle and a RPG or anti tank rocket. Grenades work somewhat, but are not recommended. You cannot use an anti air. Find one flying (try the North Korean Allied MASH, when you complete the second ACE contract you will "unlock" this). Once you are there, find a YAH-56 Gunship with the binoculars. Then, go to it and make sure it is over flat land. Take out your RPG or your anti tank rocket and shoot above it. It will fly down slightly. Then, take out your anti armor rifle and shoot the pilot (located the back seat of the helicopter). If you cannot see him through the glass, shoot under the cockpit. Once he is dead, you will have about $25, 000 depleted and your helicopter should land on the ground safely. Try again if it falls on its side or something else happens. Do not be afraid of the tail rotor. If it is half way in a rock, it does not effect it. Note: This strategy can be used with any helicopter. To get the YAH-56 Gunship easier, get a standard sniper rifle and shoot the bottom. If this does not kill the pilot, the chopper will lower somewhat. Walk in front of the chopper, then shoot the front seat and the pilot will die. To find a YAH-56 Gunship, go to the second province, then go to the Mafia garage. To the left of the front of the garage is a challenge marked with the "$" symbol. Take the challenge, but instead of flying to the goal, do some recon and learn where all the A.T.A. missile launchers are and destroy them in any way possible. Next, fly to the nuclear power plant. Instead of taking out all the people, fly to the gunship and take it. You now have your own flying tank. Note: If you lose your disguise, North Koreans will get in your gunship, start shooting at you, and force you to blow it up.

Safe Number Card Capture

Use the following trick to get a number card captured for the full bounty and avoid losing money from Anti-Air Armor shooting down your vehicle or an enemy tank accidentally killing your target. Do an aerial recon, Get a N.K Scout helicopter and get disguised as a N.K. Fly over the area that the number card is located to do recon on where the Anti-Air Armor, enemy tanks, and APCs are located. Once you noted where they are, you can now execute your plan by taking out the Anti-Air first, then the enemy tanks and APCs. Be careful with rockets -- do not fire too close to the number card. Land in a safe place, take down the number card, and call for extraction.

Free Medivac

To skip out on paying the $10,000 when you warp to the Medivac, save the game. Load the game and you will appear at the Medivac, but not have to pay the $10,000.

Helicopter Winch

Pick up a fully packed car and take it to the fight for more firepower. The soldier in the turret will shoot on or off the winch at any enemies that he sees. Try using the YAH-56 Gunship and the Mafia Technical (GL) Delivery for this. Additionally, use the winch to pick up some C4. You can now drop it off or throw it anywhere desired, then fly to a save location to detonate it. However, you cannot fly too far away from it.

Faster Shooting With The YAH-56 Gunship

This trick woks with any vehicle that has multiple weapons. While holding R1 to shoot, press R2 rapidly to change weapons. The faster you change weapons, the faster you will shoot.

Flying Cars

Get any helicopter and lower the winch and put it on a car (civilian cars recommended). You can fly it almost anywhere, toss it in the water, or crash it into a building.

Helicopter Winch

Pick up a fully packed car and take it to the fight for more firepower. The soldier in the turret will shoot on or off the winch at any enemies that he sees. Try using the YAH-56 Gunship and the Mafia Technical (GL) Delivery for this. Additionally, use the winch to pick up some C4. You can now drop it off or throw it anywhere desired, then fly to a save location to detonate it. However, you cannot fly too far away from it. Take a powerful helicopter, such as the Allies UH-60. Find any car or object that is metal. Drop down the winch and pick up the car. This might require a few attempts. When you have the car on your magnet, you can drop it on the roof of something and watch it drive off; or go as high as possible, drop the car, and try beating it to the ground.

Alarms

Blow up the alarm. If the enemies sound the alarm, do not run up to the alarm to turn it off. Just blow it up. They already know that you are there.

Ride In Helicopter

You can ride in a helicopter such as a UH 60 or any other helicopter that has guns that you can man. First, get a UH 60 then get about three South Korean ROKA soldiers. These are the only ones that will fly the helicopter. Get them all in the helicopter then fly to some enemies. Get out and get on a gun. Usually one of the soldiers will get in and fly the helicopter. You can now ride and shoot down on the enemies. Note: Once in the air you will not be able to get out unless your helicopter is shot down or you somehow land and hit the ground. Also, this only works in the North province.

Helicopter On Ace Contracts

Note: This trick requires a sniper rifle is required. Immediately after you are dropped off, take out your sniper rifle and shoot the pilot of the helicopter that dropped you off. If done at the correct moment, the helicopter will fall with barely any damage done to it. Note: This is easier with the "Infinite health" and "All factions neutral" cheats enabled. If you do not have a sniper rifle, call in for one and shoot the pilot of that helicopter. Successfully complete all the steps and it should work.

Godzilla Reference

After you capture or kill the Ace Of Hearts (Chul Kang), look at the news briefs scrolling across the bottom of the screen during the news broadcast. It will eventually say "Tokyo, Japan: Scientists investigate huge, mysterious footprints that have appeared along the coasts."

Easy Money

Hijack some cars from the North Koreans and line them up so that they are all close together. The bigger they are, the more money you will get. For example, line up a group of Sungri Scouts. Take a C4 charge on the car that is in the middle. Blow it up and a chain reaction will blow up all the cars and give you a major cash boost. You can also steal cars and sell them to the Mafia at their garage by Mafia HQ. Each car is worth a different amount of money. Use the "Fly NK helicopters" trick to get a free helicopter from the Russian Mafia by the garage where you can sell cars. Look on the map and there will be a "$" icon just east of the Allied Nation headquarters (not the MASH, where you receive AN missions from). Fly there to find a burning wreck of a AN Hummer. Land so that you can quickly jump back into the helicopter. Walk up the wreck and press Triangle when it says "Examine". It will give you the challenge of moving the wreck over 100 meters in thirty seconds without explosives. Take careful note of the distance that it says. Accept and quickly jump back in the helicopter. Use the winch (or grapple) to latch onto the wreck. Then, fly the wreck so that it is only a few meters past what the distance goal was. Wait for time to run out. The next time you go back, it will ask you to beat your own distance. As long as you stayed close to the distance goal, it will be extremely easy to accomplish this with the helicopter. Repeat the trick to get around $40,000 each time.

The Godfather Reference

When you do the Mafia mission "Playing The Odds", you will walk into Mafia HQ and hear Sergei and Josef talking. Eventually Sergei will mention Marlon Brando and The Godfather movie.

Stuck Helicopters And Cars

Do not worry about helicopter glitches. Sometimes your evac helicopter will get stuck in the ground out or diagonal on a tree. Just hit it into place with a melee attack. The same thing works for tipping most cars back onto their wheels.

Get A $4088 Dollar Mafia Md-530 Helicopter

Instead of wasting $97,090 dollars just for the mafia md-530 helicopter just buy a russian supply drop for $4088 dollars and when you buy it, throw the smoke grenade. The Mafia md-530 will come, just go under it and press Triangle (this will take some practice but you will save so much money when you get it).

Helicopter Hijack

You can hijack almost any helicopter if that faction's mood towards you is neutral or lower.

Fun Cash

Get a helecopter with a winch and fly to any North Korean city. Fly low to the ground with the winch lowered and pick up N.K. vehicles. Then drop them on top of a tall building, and they will drive off the top. Repeat until the car is destroyed and you'll get $ for destroying a North Korean vehicle.

Fun Helicopter Ride

There is a way to have your land vehicle winched while you're inside. First, you take your vehicle to a flat area. Then, order a weak car (jaju recommended). Shoot the weak car while it's still winched, until it's destroyed. Then, quickly get in the other vehicle and center it so the helicopter winch picks you up. It will stay there until you shoot it enough until the soldier will have to abort. At the slightest movement of lifting off, get back in the vehicle before the copter gets away! you will be traveling with the copter, but it will head into a restricted area. For even more fun, enter the invincible cheat, then get out of the car (you can't get out with tanks or APCs). Note: Sometimes, the person will reel in the winch before picking up your vehicle, but keep trying!

Fun In The Briefing Rooms

When you go to each of the factions headquarters buildings, you will talk to the gaurd and he will let you inside. Once inside you listen to the leading guy talk about your next mission. If you wait until they stop talking and walk around, there will be cool things you can do in the room. such as in the mafia headquarters before the jack of spades mission you can go over to the guy on the couch and hit him! or in the Allied place you can make cofee!

Rocket Cars

(Note: For this cheat you will need a NK Scout Car or a civilian car.) Equip a C4 and get near the car. Then place and run. Make sure you're far back so you can see it. Then BLAST OFF!

Deliver Things

Turn on your system. If you are like some people (not me): you have your computer in your bedroom with your system and TV, playing now, then either drive to the M*A*S*H* or call a Medivac. Turn left. You should appear in a little SK/NK battle. Get some mulah by killing the NKs (this will also make it easier). Find the white delivery flatbed truck. Found it? Good. Order/hijack a helicopter and load barrels, crates, etc. into the bed with the winch (be careful). Get out of the copter and in the truck. Remember where you left your copter and transport the stuff to various places. Be sure to take the turns carefully to avoid possibly losing cargo. This will not earn you anything (cash, faction, etc.), unless you "mistakenly" hit a NK or listening post or get a treasure, WMD, etc. It doesn't unlock anything, but it's fun to do

Taxi

This is a little thing I like to do in the South province. Go to the Mafia HQ and hijack a Metro Bus. Go to Pyongyang Airport, get in the parking lot in that building, and check the time. Why? Say it's 9:08 AM. Honk the horn a lot and make a fake announcement: "Bus 908A now boarding from Hangar (i.e.) 15." "Bus 908A now departing from hangar 15." You don't get faction increase or cash, it's just fun to do.

Fix Your Helicopter And Reload It

If your helicopter is too damaged or run out of ammo or you want to reload your missles. Go to the Mafia headquartes in the south province(not tested in the north province) and right on top of the Mafia Gararge theres a heli pad. Land your helicopter there and exit(go to the little house thing on the roof and exit with Triangle). Then get a little far away from where your helicopter is and then go back (go to the entrance on the bottom,enter with Triangle). Your helicopter should be full of health and your ammo is reloaded with all your missles. (only tested on the south province, it will probably work in the north province too i guess)

Alarms

Blow up the alarm. If the enemies sound the alarm, do not run up to the alarm to turn it off. Just blow it up. They already know that you are there.

Accelerate Faster

While in a car, hold R1 + Square + X to do a burnout and accelerate faster.

55: $250,000

Saving Ammunition

Do not waste ammunition. Some missions involve blowing up artillery, or just have artillery in the area. Instead of blowing it up, you can kill the man inside and use the artillery yourself. This can save you from running around to each individual artillery cannon, as you can shoot them from a distance.

Free Medivac

To skip out on paying the $10,000 when you warp to the Medivac, save the game. Load the game and you will appear at the Medivac, but not have to pay the $10,000.

YAH-56 Gunship

This is an incredibly powerful helicopter gunship that is armed with rapid-fire 30mm cannon (grenade launcher), anti-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, and dumb-fire rockets. You must have an anti-armor rifle and a RPG or anti tank rocket. Grenades work somewhat, but are not recommended. You cannot use an anti air. Find one flying (try the North Korean Allied MASH, when you complete the second ACE contract you will "unlock" this). Once you are there, find a YAH-56 Gunship with the binoculars. Then, go to it and make sure it is over flat land. Take out your RPG or your anti tank rocket and shoot above it. It will fly down slightly. Then, take out your anti armor rifle and shoot the pilot (located the back seat of the helicopter). If you cannot see him through the glass, shoot under the cockpit. Once he is dead, you will have about $25, 000 depleted and your helicopter should land on the ground safely. Try again if it falls on its side or something else happens. Do not be afraid of the tail rotor. If it is half way in a rock, it does not effect it. Note: This strategy can be used with any helicopter.

Safe Number Card Capture

Use the following trick to get a number card captured for the full bounty and avoid losing money from Anti-Air Armor shooting down your vehicle or an enemy tank accidentally killing your target. Do an aerial recon, Get a N.K Scout helicopter and get disguised as a N.K. Fly over the area that the number card is located to do recon on where the Anti-Air Armor, enemy tanks, and APCs are located. Once you noted where they are, you can now execute your plan by taking out the Anti-Air first, then the enemy tanks and APCs. Be careful with rockets -- do not fire too close to the number card. Land in a safe place, take down the number card, and call for extraction.

Free Ammunition And Repairs

Choose a mission. Park a damaged vehicle in the base where the mission is located, accept the contract, then immediately cancel it. Select "No" at the "Retry" menu. Your vehicle will be repaired with full ammunition at no cost.

Alternate Costumes

After you have captured or killed the Ace of Diamonds, you will be sent to the northern MASH. There should be a tent by the man who takes you between the north and southern areas. Once you find it, your character will be able to switch costumes.

Easy Money

If you are low on cash and need a quick boost, hijack some cars from the North Koreans and line them up so that they are all close together. The bigger they are, the more money you will get. For example, line up a group of Sungri Scouts. Take a C4 charge on the car that is in the middle. Blow it up and a chain reaction will blow up all the cars and give you a major cash boost. You can also steal cars and sell them to the Mafia at their garage by Mafia HQ. Each car is worth a different amount of money.

Helicopter Locations

* UH60 Transport - The $ Challenge southwest of the DMZ (the AN HQ is in the DMZ area on the map).

* UH60 Transport - Northeast of the DMZ. This chopper becomes available after the Ace Of Clubs contract is resolved successfully.

* LHX Chopper - Inchon. This chopper is available after the South Korean mission involving the missile trucks at Inchon is resolved successfully.

* WZ-9 Chopper - Pyongyang Airport. This chopper is available after the Chinese mission
involving Nampo is resolved successfully. 

North Province:

* NK Transport - North of Changsong Train station's eliptical road there is a small rise
next to the restricted airspace with a ZSU and a chopper on it.

* NK Gunship - East of Changsong Train station there is an eliptical road. Head east from it and a small airbase can be found with several gunships and SAM carriers.

* Coaxial Gunship - This is a unique chopper that can only be found during the second Russian mission while verifying the Spades. The temple northwest of the Industrial Zone has the chopper, along with one of the mission's objectives.

* AN Gunship - This takes a little work. You also need a sniper rifle. Head to the east
entrance of the Kusong MASH and climb the surrounding hills. A random set of gunships and transport choppers hover over the MASH (if you do not see a gunship, you can save/load your game). Snipe the pilot of a gunship as it passes over the MASH; the resulting accident will usually leave the gunship in barely flyable condition, and cost
you $25,000 (for killing the AN pilot).
