How can I avoid triggering Checkpoint Charlie?

[OSKAR9104]

I want to take the Squalo or the Jetmax without starting Checkpoint Charlie. Is there anyway to do this?

Probably not because they are the only ones in the game if I remember right. Maybe one is placed at the mansion after the missions are completed, I'm not positive. Anyway, I edited the main.scm and added a boat at the pier by Casa Swanko. Try that if you know how to.

Yes there is a Squalo III at Vercetti (Ex Diaz) Mansion.

As for Jetmax... deal with it :-/

If you want to obtain a Squalo without activating Checkpoint Charlie, there are three ways to accomplish this:

1. Complete the mission "The Fastest Boat". Once the mission has been completed, the Squalo will be docked at the back of Ricardo Diaz's mansion, at the jetty/pier. At that point, you can comandeer the Squalo and drive it wherever you want to go and do whatever you want with it.

2. Kill Lance Vance in the mission "Supply & Demand" after the cutscenes have finished. This will fail the mission, however, the Squalo will be sitting there, ready for you to pilot.

3. If you have purchased the boatyard, get into the Squalo, and then quickly exit it as soon as you enter it. Once you enter the Squalo again, it hopefully shouldn't activate the side mission.

As for the Jetmax, there are only two methods to do so:

1. Kill Rico in "Naval Engagement, as soon as you reach Starfish Island.This will fail the mission, however, the Squalo will be sitting there, ready for you to pilot.

2.If you have purchased the Boatyard, get into the Jetmax, and then quickly exit it as soon as you enter it. Once you enter the Jetmax again, it hopefully shouldn't activate the side mission.
