Favorite melee location

[hypercoder]

At some point in time you're going to go on a personal mission to blast away anything that moves or flies. Why? Because you can!

So where do you go to make your stand or do you just run around at will leaving a path of destruction? I've tried multiple locations for maximum damage effect - some worked pretty well and some had limitations that were shortcomings in the fun level.

Outside the Pay 'n Spray in Doherty - cops line up in the freeway on ramp well enough, you've got something behind your back to limit accessibility by helicopters, but no real traffic to blast away.

The Strip in LV, just outside the Four Dragons - lined the center of the street with remote explosives, created a vehicle barricade and took out about a dozen cars all at once. Instant 3 star wanted and cops approach from 180º. Got to run around a bit but gets challenging to keep it up for long.

The Church in LV - there's armor here and the cops get stuck at the hedge and can't come right at you. Good blasting effect but traffic thins out after you hit 6 stars.

Pilson Interchange, NW LV - jet pack and grenades, once you hit 6 stars you jet to the opposide of the road to evade tanks and carry on business as usual. You can run quite a while here.

Being on the ground makes you an easy target, get some elevation and in most places you're too high to shoot down on the cops. Of course grenades or molotovs can pick up the stragglers.

Place I found a couple of days ago is right downtown SA - the ledge facing the freeway interchange in Commerce, you're on the tallest building in all of SA but only slightly above the road...

You can get there by chopper, jet pack or BASE jumping down from the roof (access door in the NE corner of the ground floor). I've approached this two different ways:

With an early mission game save that limits wanted level to 4 stars. Weapons are Heat Seekers, Molotovs, Sniper Rifle and the occasional M4. Because the way the road is layed out and the way these idiots drive there's bound to be an accident soon. When that happens I've been getting head shots on the drivers so I can pile up a bunch of cars - then go for the fuel door on one of them and watch the fireworks. So far my best chain reaction from 1 car has taken out 16 more (from the pile and those that crash into it).

On my 100% game (oh yeah, unlimited ammo) I go in with a jet pack and a Mini-gun. Blast away - this weapon will take down vehicles in seconds, get long range shots on escapees, drop choppers like anchors and keep you safe from about anything except raining debris. I've been hit with doors, hoods and entire cars from the multiple explosions. Some of the best vehicle launch scenes I've seen yet... the cars are coming down hill and gaining speed the go flying from their won impacts into stopped vehicles.

If you drop your jet pack, go to aiming mode then step into the jet pack it'll stay hidden as long as you're in aiming mode - the second you let off the button you can fly away and you don't lose the jet pack after multiple hours (game time) of havoc.

Go to "Stats", "Crimes" and then "Kills since last checkpoint" and you can get the body count. Just did 410 before I decided to fly off into the sunset in search of a cold beer and a hot girlfriend...

So where do you go and what do you do/use to create your own version of mass destruction?

I like to hole up in a few places and ramp it up to level 6 wanted so I can jump in a Rhino and drive off when I've had enough! I usually do it after a blown mission or when I'm bored... What I like to do is focus on taking out cops cuz I have a thing for 'em! I've had so many missions/odd jobs shot to hell due to them I like to unload on them once in awhile to blow off steam. I don't like to take out civvies if at all possible - it's part of the challenge I set for myself.

My favorite spots for this are: the spiral-ramp parking garages in LS & LV and the parking garage north of the Camel's Toe casino. The reasons I choose them is so that I don't have to worry about going toe-to-toe and because I really don't like the police choppers! I can only take so much of them yelling,"Shoot that asshole!" Plus I like getting them all in one little group and tossing a molotov into their midst. The sounds of their screams are music to my ears!

So what I like to do is go to the 2nd level of each of these places then just pick off every cop that shows up. Usually I use the M4 for the long-range shots for when cops spawn off in the distance so that they can run toward you. If they get close, I'll switch to the Spas to watch them fly from the blast. Sometimes I'll mix it up with the Sniper for an added challenge of picking them off on the fly. I switch to other weapons too - I'm not choosy. For the spiral-ramp garage in LV, I'll stay near the edge where it's clear overhead so the choppers will show and then drop them with the Heatseeker. They usually land on the cops and/or army guys and their vehicles - I like that too! It seems that only a couple will show and then they stop coming anyway, for awhile at least.

Now that I've gotten 100% of the game completed and have infinite ammo, I've tried out using the Flamethrower instead (otherwise you use up the fuel too quick). With that, I can go to the edge, aim down through the floor and smoke 'em right through the wall and floor. You have to watch out for flaming vehicles about to explode though... Best to peek over the edge or watch for the black smoke to know when to back away or you get hit by the blast wave.

Once I've had enough, I'll jump over the edge, take out any nearby 'obstacles' and jump in an undamaged Rhino. It's best to do this in LV because of easy access to nearby bribes. Then I burn off the wanted levels and start over again or quit for the day. When I'm in the tank, I'll sometimes head for the LV airport so I can blow away choppers all day long before quitting. The storm channels in LS are good for this too - there you can hole up just below a bridge while sticking your neck out so they'll come. In either case, you have to watch out for them dropping to close and catching your tank on fire - which is the only worry while in the Rhino.

I've done this with or without cheats... This is the only time I use them simply because I don't want to have to stop to eat or heal. I use the HESOYAM and AEDUWNV (no need to eat) cheats mostly. But sometimes, I'll add the BAGUVIX cheat to not lose health. Although, it doesn't help with explosions or gunfire from the choppers.

And that's how I like to pass the time and get a bit of revenge!
