Go anywhere in the game and not get a wanted level (almost)

[zmoonchild]

I stumbled on this one by accident. Most of you are familiar with the ability to go anywhere in the game without getting any wanted level or any stars, during various missions. The first mission that allows you to do this is the ‘Reuniting the Families’ mission.

However, you can go anywhere you want to prior to that mission. It’s during the ‘Los Sepulcros’ mission.

After Kane is killed, Sweet goes to get a getaway car. At this point in the mission you can go anywhere in the game and the cops will almost completely leave you alone.

You’ll still get a wanted level, however the cops just ignore it and leave you alone. You can beat them and kill them and they’ll still just leave you alone.

You can go to the other sections of the game that haven’t been unlocked yet (such as Las Ventures and San Fierro), get a 4-star wanted level, and the cops still won’t do anything to you.

Collect all the horseshoes and oysters, and take all the snapshots without any hassle.

There are exceptions to this:

First, if you enter a building (such as a restaurant, police station, anything), then leave, a small group of cops will be waiting outside, and will start shooting at you when you exit; however, all other cops just ignore you. You can simply run away and eventually that small group of cops will disappear; or you can just kill them.

Second, while you’re driving, a police car will occasionally dart in front of you (like he’s trying to stop you), however, the cop seems to forget that he’s trying to cut you off and simply pulls over and gets out. He won’t do anything to you after that.

Third, if you attempt to fly an aircraft, a Hydra will materialize and attempt to shoot you down, but that’s the only other aircraft that appears. No police or media aircraft at all.

What’s the benefit of this versus the ‘Reuniting the Families’ mission? People. There are people and vehicles moving around everywhere; which means that finding a vehicle to get around in is very easy. IT’S NOT A GHOST TOWN.

There was an added benefit for myself; I like to collect special cars throughout the game. However, I could never get a Bullet or a Turismo from a 4-star zone back to Los Santos. With this exploit during the ‘Los Sepulcros’ mission I was able to take my time and drive a Packer from Las Ventures into Red County across the bridge to the Montgomery Intersection. There’s a barrier at the south end of the bridge that cannot be crossed. I used the Packer as a ramp and jumped the vehicles onto dry-land. At that point I could do anything I wanted to with those cars.

It’s impossible to get a Turismo during the ‘Reuniting the Families’ mission because they don’t have any parked locations (at least none that I’m aware of)

The only other way I’ve been able to get a Bullet or a Turismo in Los Santos at that point in the game was during the Vigilante Missions, which rarely happens.

Hahah in all that time driving, you could have already unlocked every place in the game...
