Great news for Grand Theft Auto 5 outlaws: there's now even more strategies, cheats and exploits to give you an extra edge as you explore the world of Los Santos.
If you've drawn the attention of the police, here's a simple strategy to barricade yourself against foes. If players drive up to a barber shop and park their car in front of the door, they can hide out without worry. The police will not be able to shoot through the windows of the barber shop, but players will be able to shoot through the windows at the police.
If you need some quick cash, especially early in the game, you can try to rob the armored cars that periodically drive around Los Santos. These armored cars will appear on the player's radar, and if you take out the driver then shoot the doors open (aim for the handles in the center) you can make $5,000 easily. But be advised: if you rob an armored car, you must avoid the police that will soon be chasing you.
If you're driving around Los Santos and wish to slow down time while not playing as Franklin, there's an easy trick. Bring up the radio option by holding left on the d-pad, and time will slow down, but the driving controls will still function. It may be difficult to see with the multiple radio stations popping up, but using this strategy the right way could help players avoid accidents and keep driving missions on track.
If you feel like they're spending too much money at the Ammu-Nation gun stores, you can receive discounts for doing well in the various shooting range challenges at the gun range. If players get medals in every single gun range challenge they will receive discounts on every single item in Ammu-Nation. Bronze medals will get 10 percent off, silver 15 percent, and those who get the gold in every challenge will get 25 percent off.
Finally, players can perform a trick that can be used as an offensive weapon and can help them maneuver while jumping. When players start a jump, they can hit circle on the PlayStation 3 or B on the Xbox 360 to perform a flip. Players can use this against foes in combat, and can also use it to flip over obstacles.
