Effective GTA SA bugs for your advantage in multiplayer

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is full of bugs. In this guide, I'm going to show you these bugs and teach you how to use them

Introduction

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released in 2004 for PS2 and in 2005 for Windows. Over time, gamers discovered numerous glitches in the game and its textures. In this guide, I will show you these glitches and teach you how to use them against other players. I hope you find it useful.

Game bugs

Frame Limiter

Did you know that a frame limiter can affect your gaming experience? There are advantages and disadvantages to having the frame limiter set to 60 frames per second. Let's take a closer look at how your game behaves at different frame rates.

enabled frame limiter

• [+] riding boats is a lot faster
  
• [+] the character swims significantly faster
  
• [+] vehicles on the roof to burn at a much slower rate, providing players with more time to react and potentially save their vehicle

disabled frame limiter

• [+] improves vehicle handling during turns, making it easier to maneuve
  
• [+] significantly improve vehicle acceleration to the point where at higher frame rates (400+ frames), the vehicle can accelerate like a rocket
  
• [+/-] while parachuting, the character's rotation speed is extremely fast and is directly affected by the frame rate (higher frame rates result in faster speeds).

You might be wondering, is it worth using these glitches all the time? However, it's not recommended to always have these frame rates locked or unlocked. Instead, you should unlock or lock them at the right moment to take advantage of the glitch. So I recommend to use autohotkey to bind it, or you can use a CLEO mod to achieve the desired frame rate.

Speedskins

In San Andreas Multiplayer, cut-scene characters are bugged, and almost every character that appeared in a cut-scene (story based) has increased movement speed. (visible differences in the video)

Here is a list of the skins:

Character (ID)
• Truth (1)
  
• Maccer (2)
  
• F. Tenpenny (265)
  
• E. Pulaski (266)
  
• J. Hernandez (267)
  
• Dwaine (268)
  
• Big Smoke (269)
  
• Sweet (270)
  
• Ryder (271)
  
• Marco Forelli (272)

This bug only works in SA-MP. In MTA, these skins are imported correctly, so there are no issues with them.

Motorbike/Bike bugs

Speed Bug

• Improves overall speed while riding a motorbike or bicycle.
  
• All you have to do is ride on the rear wheel of the motorcycle or bicycle.

Jump Bug

• Ever dreamt of performing a daring stunt, like jumping on top of a building on a bike? Well, now you can!
  
• All you have to do is jump, then just before landing quickly press the jump key twice. (more clear from the video)

Weapon bugs

Switch Bug

• Let's start with the easiest one. Maybe you already knew this one.
  
• It helps you reload weapons faster and works with all reloadable weapons.
  
• All you have to do is switch weapons (e.g. via Q/E). Notice! The weapon must have at least one bullet in the chamber.

(visible in the video "distance bug")

Crouch Bug

• If the Desert Eagle is your favorite weapon, then this trick is just for you!
  
• This bug allows you to shoot with a Desert Eagle much faster.
  
• All you have to do is crouch after every shot!

Patterns
for a Deset Eagle and Sniper Rifle: AIM - FIRE - CROUCH (then repeat)
for a classic Shotgun: AIM - FIRE - CROUCH - SWITCH (then repeat)

Slide Bug

• This glitch allows you to 'slide' instead of sprinting, and it's just as effective as sprinting. This can be especially useful in places where sprinting is not possible, such as indoors.
  
• While sliding, you can fire weapons such as the Desert Eagle, M4, AK-47, MP5, or Minigun, so it's like sprinting and shooting at the same time.
  
• To glitch into sliding and start shooting, follow this pattern.

Pattern
recommended method CROUCH - HOLD W - HOLD SPRINT + AIM at once (sometimes can be done without aiming)

Distance Bug

(especially with sawn-off)

• It allows you to shoot at greater distances.
  
• All you have to do is shoot first, then aim for the target!

RPG Unlimited Ammo

(fakeshot)

• Are you playing on a server where the Rocket Launcher is rare? Don't worry, with this bug, you only need one rocket.
  
• All you have to do is pressing AIM and FIRE keys at once.
  
• "Notice! This bug is also called Fakeshot because your shots won't be visible to other players, so be aware that it may be considered a bannable offense on some servers.

vid. soon

Lite Foot

• It provides better movement speed after shooting.
  
• It's frequently used in duels with weapons like the Deset Eagle, Sniper Rifle and Shotgun
  
• All you have to do is follow the pattern!

Pattern
for all weapons A/D - AIM - FIRE - SCROLL - CROUCH and the SPRINT
A/D - it depends on the side you want to go
SCROLL - it needs to be scrolled to fist

Texture bugs

Sidewalks and pavements

If you drive on sidewalks and pavements instead of the road, your vehicle will drive significantly faster. This means you cannot reach the maximum speed without nitro. However, thanks to this bug, you can now reach it. So if you see some racers on a pavement or sidewalk, now you know why.

In the video, I am going to show you this glitch on The Garver Bridge, and the speed differences will be displayed on the speedometer at the bottom right of the screen.

Doherty Bug

It allows you to hide in the Doherty Garage before other players, such as in gang wars, and to hide their vehicles in the garage texture, among other things.
(approach is shown in the video)

The unfreeze method can be done by an administrator if you ask them to unfreeze you because you are bugged, etc. Alternatively, you can use a server-featured command that utilizes the unfreeze function.

Other texture bugs

There are several other known texture bugs that may be interesting for you.
