Worth it for most of the game, not just gang area. It'll take around 30-40 minutes (real-time) but it completely maxes out your health bar, with an added 50% extra.
Complete the Ambulance missions if you feel like you just don't have enough health. For most roads I tend to alternate ends to fight on, this way I can run through all the ammo/money and health/armour pickups whilst the enemies begin to spawn behind me. Collect what you can at the end of a wave, and face away from where you want them to spawn. They will also tend to stick to footpaths until they are in range of hitting you - use this as an early warning to back away. This includes side streets behind you as well. They always spawn along the footpaths out of your line of sight (behind the camera) Take enemies from a distance - if a few of them have reached a range from which they can fire at you, you'll die quickly. Start with the lighter-shaded areas (mostly the industrial areas below Grove Street, but also in the shopping district (away from the residential area) and the beach in the south-west of Los Santos) The enemies will be fewer in number and usually wont get assault weapons (SMG, AK-47) on the third wave. If you have trouble taking over area, I've got a few tips: In the harder areas (more filled colour) the enemies drop SMGs and AK-47s by the last wave - I'm usually maxed out in at least these two guns (possibly machine pistols as well) by the time I leave for San Fierro. This has the added benefit of upping your skills with guns. Taking over gang area not only nets you a greater passive 'gang' income (next to your house), but you can pick up the money that the Ballas/Vagos drop when you kill them. I've gotten upwards of $20k in a 'night' like this Jog in, grab TV, leave, drop off TV, go to other door. The TV is in front of you and you get 10 seconds to leave once you've woken them up. Only steal TVs, as this nets you the most cash per item. If you park the van relatively near two houses/ apartment doors, you can alternate between them, as the state of a house is reset when you enter another one. Two things I use to make money really quickly (other than what the other answers cover) are: Firefighter Job - 5 Firefighter missions give you like 10.000$.įeel free to add more if I forget options to earn money. Get a Pimp Mobile and transport girls to and from their work zones. Taxi Job - Bringing people to places they chose. Ambulance Job - Bringing people to the hospital. Without cheating there's no other "very fast" ways to earn money. They usually have something like 2000$ in their pocket. The other ways are as you said to do missions or murder drugdealers. If not load the previous savegame and try again. Place the highest possible amount as a bet on a horse.Ĥ. The most effective is the horse race technique.įor users which don't know this trick: 1. There aren't really more ways to earn lots of money as fast as possible.
