Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Vigilante mission is rigged
I swear the vigilante mission is intended to be impossible in any other vehicle except rhino and hunter.

Got a lucky run until level 11 with 3 star cops. Just as I got to level 12, the 4 star cops keep eating my health away, forcing me to go back to vending machine twice. I took an armor at one location and RNGesus decided that one of the cars should have a frikkin shotgun in it. I died because a cop rammed my bike. How ironic that I'm supposed to be a cop and another cop kills me.

The idea of getting wanted stars when you're the law is absurd. I wonder why Rockstar would not program the cop to not chase you in vigilante. I'm convinced that this decision is completely intentional. STFU cops I'm trying to kill the criminal I'm helping y'all why would y'all wanted me dead?

How is anyone else be able to do the "Vigilante: Impossible" mission? All I wanted was to get the extra 50% armor....

P.S. I heard there's a glitch where you enter and exit a vehicle and hope that the game """accidentally""" kills the criminal. But it only works once in my end. If anyone knows this then please tell me.

Isn't the HPV1000 the motorcycle the bike cops use? Because if so then I agree with that vehicle as its probably the easiest to do those missions with than going to the military base and stealing a tank with a five star wanted level.

yea its the cop bike
its the fastest to get "out" and "in" again so its pretty good to just jump out and then shoot the criminals or even just micro smg them from the cop bike

Or just stay on the bike and shoot because of the auto aim it has, no joke you can literally just face your target and just spray.

yea thats what I meant with using the smg on the bike
Well you're not a real police officer, you are a "vigilante" a vigilante is someone who kills/hunts criminals but is not a police officer.
Also another friendly tip, entering the barracks truck that you get with a 4 star wanted level will give you armor. Similarly to entering an ambulance, it will heal you a bit. Also entering a Taxi gives you a few dollars. One more thing, entering a police car will give you a shotgun with 5 bullets.

Update: One day, I got lucky and the criminals spawned on The Panopticon at level 6 for the rest of the Vigilante mission. It's a long piece of road with no turns, so I know exactly where they go, and blasted them with RPG. Mission Passed! I quickly ran to the nearest pay n' spray to lose the heat and saved the game after that.

Thanks everyone for the tips, btw. HPV1000 is still great to use. I heard there's another way to deal damage in a police car by recruiting 3 gang members armed with Deagle (I sprayed all the tags), and 3 Deagles only take seconds to blow up a car.

Lesson learned, always pick up at least 1 police bribe in Vigilante.

Then the cops rewarded them with bullets.
No problem man

The trick to the Vigilante in SA is to buy one of the mansion safe houses up in the hills with a garage and take the HPV 1000 there and take down the criminals. Then when your bike gets damaged you can restore the health in the garage and change your clothes at the safe house to revoke your wanted level. Then just repeat as needed until you reach level 11

Everyone knows that the Hunter is the best for the Vigilante mission, aka "Brown Thunder" since it makes it very easy

Pretty sure you have to do that all in one session, no "oh my bike took two points of damage better head home" exploitation.

Just park it in the garage, run away and come back by the time the garage closed its doors, it's not the same bike that you get when the garage opens it's doors, it's actually a duplicate with the same colors, mods, etc.
