The GTA 5 game is distinguished by the presence of a large number of colorful characters. All the main characters of the game can be divided into several categories:

• protagonists;
• main characters;
• central characters.

Protagonists

There are only three GTA 5 characters that are classified as protagonists. The first person to note is Michael De Santa, a former robber who made a deal with the police and went to live a quiet life in big house along with his family.

The second protagonist of the game is called Franklin Clinton. He works for the owner of a luxury car dealership. Franklin is very ambitious. He wants to succeed, so he decides to leave his job and look for happiness elsewhere.

The third character of the GTA 5 game, which belongs to the protagonists, is Trevor Philips. He is very greedy and suffers from mental imbalance. Trevor was a military pilot, but after that he moved to San Andreas, where he opened his own enterprise for the arms and drug trade.

Central and main characters of GTA 5

Lester Crest, Dave Norton, Lamar Davis, Devin Weston and Steve Haynes are all connected in some way to De Santa, Clinton and Philips. Someone is covering up the drug trade using their connections in the police; someone is a billionaire for whom the main protagonists of the game work.

The main characters include members of the family of Michael De Santa, his mutual friends with Franklin, acquaintances of Trevor, as well as businessmen who do business in the city and have a great influence on Trevor, Franklin and Michael.

Main female characters in GTA 5 are represented by Michael's wife and daughter, as well as the vice president of the enterprise, Devin Weston. This woman's name is Molly Schultz.

Michael De Santa

Michael was born in 1965. His family was very poor. The father was an alcoholic and often abused his son. As the game progresses, Michael mentions numerous times that his father was hit by a train. De Santa played football, and he did it pretty well. He was a good defender in his team. Difficult nature along with injury proneness made him retire from football.

His acquaintance with Trevor took place in 1993, when Michael accompanied the transportation of goods on the border of the United States of America and Canada. De Santa kidnapped a civilian. The two of them were spotted by Trevor on the runway. The prisoner thought that the pilot could help him escape, but Trevor killed him by shooting a pistol right in the eye. The corpse was thrown into the lake after Philips and De Santa boarded the plane.

De Santa's victims

During the entire GTA 5 game, the character kills 11 people. Michael's first victim is Jay Norris, whom De Santa Kills so that Lester Crest can continue his illegal business.

Michael strangled another person in the morgue so that he could not turn on the alarm. De Santa's third victim was Tahir Javan. The order to kill Tahir was given by Steve Haynes. The reason for this decision was the alleged connections of Tahir with terrorist organizations.

Walton and Wynn O'Neill were killed for trying to get revenge on Trevor. Another victim was the pilot of Madrazo. He died due to a plane crash caused by De Santa's shooting.

Gianni and Pelosi tried to hunt down and kill Solomon Richards, for which they paid with their own lives. Stretch De Santa was killed for betraying Clinton. In the final mission of the game, Franklin is able to kill Trevor, but fails to blow up the cistern. Finished by Michael. Also, De Santa kills Abigail Mathers after finishing the "Death by the Sea" mission.

Michael De Santa family

Michael has a daughter, Tracy, a son, Jim, and a wife, Amanda. De Santa's wife was previously a stripper in one of the clubs. It is also said that she worked as a prostitute. Trevor and her son Jimmy mentioned it.

Acquaintance with the girl takes place in the prologue of the game during the fake funeral of Michael. The second meeting with her happens at the moment when Franklin is trying to steal Jimmy's car on the orders of his boss. At this time, Amanda was in her kitchen with a tennis coach.

In one of the episodes of the game, Michael saw Amanda having sex with her coach. Michael and Franklin chased the instructor who jumped out of the window.

Jimmy - youngest child Michael. He was born in 1993. De Santa Jr. often leaves home. His friends are a rabble from the teenagers of the city. The guy is very lazy and uses drugs. He tries to act like a gangster, because he thinks such behavior is cool.

Tracey is Jimmy's older sister. She is the most beautiful character in GTA 5. A girl was born in 1991. Throughout her childhood, she was forced to hide from her father's enemies. At the age of 13, the government placed her and her family in a witness protection program.

The player meets a girl during a mission where Franklin must steal Jimmy's car for the car dealership owner because of the guy's debts. Tracy argues with her brother and goes to her room to talk on the phone.

She had a difficult relationship with her father. In one of the episodes, the girl went to the audition without informing her father or mother about it. But soon Michael found out about it and went to the show with his daughter. After that, their relationship was damaged.

Franklin Clinton

Franklin is another GTA 5 character that the user can play as. He was born in 1988. Throughout his adult life, Clinton tossed between two fires. At first he chose the gangster path. His comrades tried in every possible way to dissuade the guy from this.

Franklin's youth was uneventful. He dealt drugs, participated in street fights and did not study anywhere. Clinton has no family, no girlfriend, no Money. The absence of the latter pushed him into the drug trade. In one of the transactions, he was arrested. After the expiration of the term, Franklin decided to give up life in the ghetto.

Franklin's new work

After prison, Clinton made the decision to get out of the position in which he had been throughout his life. He wanted to make money. In this regard, Franklin began to commit robberies in the city. Soon he managed to get a job in one of the luxury car dealerships, which belonged to Simon Etarian, an Armenian millionaire and lover of luxury vehicles.

Clinton's job was to extort money from customers that they owed to the dealership owner. The thing is that the Armenian sold his cars at high interest rates. As a result, the buyers did not have the opportunity to return the debt to Etaryan. Once Frank was recognized by Simon as the best worker of the month in a car dealership.

Lost job at car dealership

One day, Etarian ordered Franklin to deal with one of the debtors. In the course of the assignment, Clinton killed a large number of bandits, and also took the life of the debtor himself. After that, he took his motorcycle. Frank was supposed to return the vehicle to the dealership owner, but he didn't. After such a decision, relations between Yetarian and Clinton began to deteriorate.

The Armenian gave him a new task. Franklin had to steal the car of another debtor. He was the son of Michael De Santa. Clinton got into the car and began to leave, but did not notice that De Santa himself was sleeping in the back seat. He threatened Franklin with a gun and forced Etarayan's car dealership to be rammed with a car. Then he got out of the car and beat the Armenian himself. So Clinton lost his job.

Trevor Philips

Trevor is the last GTA 5 character you can play as. He was born in 1968 in Canada. In his youth, Philips began to suffer from temper tantrums. He couldn't control his anger. Trevor himself talked about how he killed animals when he was a child.

Philips was a good golfer. He talked about winning some tournaments when he lived in Canada. He also wanted to become a pilot and entered the service for this. After some time, he was denied service, as the doctors recognized him as mentally unstable.

Criminal career

Acquaintance with Michael De Santa gave rise to the beginning of Trevor's criminal career. In one of the conversations, Philips says that even despite the fact that he made illegal transportation to earn money, before he met Michael, he did not have any serious crimes.

Phillips' first serious crime was the robbery of a check cashing facility. The operation didn't go quite as planned. The thing is that one of the employees of the point knew the robber.

Over time, Trevor began to doubt Michael. De Santa started a family with Amanda and became very attached to his two children. All this infuriated Philips. He believed that De Santa became softer. Some time later, Phillips found a third member for the gang. It turned out to be a man named Brad Snyder. De Santa didn't really trust him, while Trevor hit it off with Snyder in a matter of days. In 2004, the trio is "covered" by an FBI agent. He killed Brad and wounded Michael. Trevor had to flee.

How to change character in GTA 5

Game gta world 5 is huge, and the possibilities it offers the player are truly endless. Therefore, it is not surprising that many small details - exactly what forms the atmosphere of the game - elude attention. In this article, we have collected many such trifles, a number interesting facts about San Andreas, characters and game mechanics, as well as useful secrets.

Where to get a parachute

Players are often tempted to jump with a parachute, but getting a parachute at the very beginning of the game is problematic, since neither parachutes nor accessories for them are sold in Ammu-Nation weapon stores. Although later they can be purchased - parachutes of a dozen colors for every taste, as well as special signal checkers that are fixed on the parachutist's leg and leave a colored smoky trail behind him in flight, will be delivered to stores. It looks very interesting.

You can find a free parachute in GTA 5 in two places: on a tower crane at the construction site of the Mile High Club building in Pillbox Hill, and also at the funicular station at the top of Mount Chilliad. The second parachute is easier to get - you just need to go up and take it, while climbing the crane will take several minutes. Another option to get a parachute quickly and for free is.

By the way, GTA 5 is the first game in the Grand series. Theft Auto, which can be fired while parachuting. Alas, only light weapons can be used, but this is often enough. Previously, this was only available during a flight on jetpack in GTA San Andreas. You can't say anything, the residents of San Andreas know a lot about extreme entertainment.

Color differentiation

Each of the characters has its own color: - green, - blue, and - orange. These colors serve as the background for the character's portrait when switching between heroes, and they also color markers for story missions and side quests, special zones, and icons for the acquired . Thanks to this, when you see a mission marker or property icon, you can immediately tell with certainty who owns the object, or which of the characters is available for this task.

By the way, those numbers that are displayed next to the portraits of heroes when switching between characters indicate the number of tasks currently available for each of them. So if any difficulties suddenly arise, you can always call up the switching menu, see who the mission is for, and then perform any actions with this character that may affect the progress of the plot: check mail and answer letters, perform side quests and so on.

Sometimes the game itself suggests who it is better to switch to at the current moment - the sector with the character's portrait starts blinking. If at this moment you briefly press the Alt button or the visa arrow on the D-pad of the gamepad, the switch will occur automatically. Also, the game will switch by short pressing on the most relevant character in situations where it is appropriate, for example, if the hero is under fire and may die at any second.

How to get a discount at Ammu-Nation

There is never a lot of money - the golden rule, relevant as in real life, and in GTA 5. And even if, following, you have accumulated a couple of billion dollars on the accounts of each of the characters, this does not mean at all that the money can be wasted.

Ammu-Nation, a chain of weapons and equipment stores, whose regular customers, without a doubt, are all games, is ready to provide a discount to everyone who passes all the tests in the shooting range. There are only two stores with a shooting range in San Andreas, and both are located in Los Santos: the first is near the Simon Etarian car dealership, and the second is near the port in the southeastern part of the city. Shops with shooting ranges are marked with an icon on the map.

You can enter the shooting range for only 14 dollars. To get a discount, you need to complete three tests with each type of weapon. For Bronze, Ammu-Nation gives the customer a lifetime 10% discount on the entire range, for Silver a 15% discount, and for Gold a 25% discount. Since weapons are a significant expense item, you should complete the tests at the shooting range as quickly as possible: the sooner they are completed, the more money you can save on the discount. But at the same time, it should be borne in mind that only one of the heroes who passed the tests receives a discount, so you will have to complete the conditions of the shooting range tasks three times in order for all three main characters to receive a discount.

By the way, GTA 5 is the first game in the series that allows you to buy a full ammo in just a few steps. To do this, select a weapon, in the menu of this weapon - the point of sale of ammunition (cartridges, grenades, and so on), and press the spacebar (space), and then confirm the purchase by pressing Enter. Although Ammu-Nation does not provide discounts for such bulk purchases, this option saves a lot of time. However, throwing weapons (grenades, gas, and sticky bombs) will still have to be bought individually. But this is not a big problem, since the arsenal of characters is limited.

Where to get a helicopter

At the very beginning of the game, buying even the cheapest helicopter in the aviation equipment store ElitasTravel.com looks very problematic - the cheapest helicopter costs 780 thousand dollars, which may seem like an unbearable amount. Therefore, anyone who would like to comfortably admire the views of San Andreas from a bird's eye view (after all, flying on an airship is far from always convenient), but does not have the funds for this, will have to resort to hijacking air transport. Helicopters can be found at several sites in Los Santos and beyond, all of which are marked on our site.

Any hijacked helicopter can be saved at the characters' helipads. Trevor will get such a site along with the airfield in Sandy Shores after completing story mission, while Franklin and Michael will have to buy them - each of the characters can purchase at Vespucci Helipads in Los Santos, paying a "modest" amount of almost 420 thousand GTA dollars.

cargo helicopter

The cargo helicopter Cargobob, which is a variation of the well-known to fans of the GTA series: San Andreas The Leviathan helicopter, like its brother, can pick up, lift and transport any cargo, be it a car, a boat, an airplane, or even a dry closet cabin (you can find it at any construction site in San Andreas). You can evaluate the capabilities of this rotorcraft during the story mission The Merryweather Heist - Cargobob, in which the helicopter will have to be hijacked from the military base of Fort Zacundo.

The Cargobob is available for GTA$2.2 million from Warstock Cache & Carry, a military vehicle dealer, but can also be stolen from the military. True, it will be much more difficult to do this than during the mission. However, from time to time Cargobob also appears on other sites where it can be “borrowed” without any problems.

To pick up any object, it is enough to throw out the cargo hook of the helicopter and hover over the object, and then descend to such a height that the hook touches the load - the object will be picked up automatically, just as it happens during towing cars, which Franklin will have to practice a lot in assignments . By the way, if you can’t control the helicopter on the move, and you can’t hover in place due to turbulence, you can use a simple trick: simultaneously hold down both keys that are responsible for the elevator or those two that are responsible for the rudder - this will help stabilize the flight even in the most difficult situation.

If you raise the Submersible bathyscaphe, abandoned behind the hangar of the Sandy Shores airfield after the story mission, with the help of Cargobob, you can comfortably explore the bottom of Alamo Lake. This is the only opportunity to bring a submarine here (it is very problematic to go along Cassidy Creek), but by no means the only opportunity to explore the bottom: you can pump the volume of the character’s lungs and dive without any devices, or you can get hold of an inflatable scuba boat and dive with him.

By the way, if you still look at the bottom, you can admire the remains of the Merryweather cargo plane, which was destroyed by Trevor in the story mission, resting here - of course, after the task is completed. You need to look for the skeleton of the crashed plane in the western part of the lake. You will not find anything else of particular interest at the bottom of Lake Alamo, alas.

The underwater world in GTA 5 is worked out surprisingly well: at the bottom you can find sunken ships and bathyscaphes, crashed planes, the skeleton of an ancient sea monster, a mysterious hatch with a luminous window and even a flying saucer. In addition, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Andreas there are also useful things - weapons, ammunition, first aid kits, body armor and much more. Also at the bottom you can find cases with money that will help you quickly get rich by 7-25 thousand dollars.

To dive into the abyss, you can use the Nagasaki Dinghy inflatable boat, which comes with scuba gear, or the Submersible bathyscaphe (it also has scuba gear on board) - a deep-sea vehicle will appear on the abandoned pier after its purchase. By the way, this submarine will be able to bring additional income - local environmentalists will offer the new owner of the facility to collect polluting coastal waters, for each barrel with which you can get 23 thousand dollars. To put on a scuba gear, which allows you to stay under water for an unlimited amount of time, you just need to sit at the helm of the boat, or climb into the bathyscaphe.

Those who played GTA 5 on past generation consoles, and then purchased the game on new platforms, will also be able to get a faster and more maneuverable Kraken submarine.

Jaws

The living world of the coastal waters of San Andreas is magnificent: various algae and corals, dolphins, stingrays, killer whales, humpback whales, and colorful tropical fish are pleasing to the eye, and tiger sharks make every dive an amazing adventure.

From time to time you will notice a red dot on the mini-map while sailing on the ocean waters on a yacht or admiring the underwater beauties. This is the most dangerous Pacific predator - the shark. If you are on a boat and are planning on scuba diving, you can shoot it from the side. But this, firstly, does not guarantee that there are no more sharks nearby, and secondly, you may lose a great chance to get the Out of Your Depth achievement.

This trophy is given posthumously - to get it, you need to die in the shark's mouth. When the character is in the water, the shark will slowly wind circles around the victim, and will certainly make particularly impressionable players a little nervous. By the way, if the character has a knife in his arsenal, you can try to fight off the predator. But let's face it, you have practically no chances, especially without such experience.

Shooting a gas tank is fun

Even in GTA San Andreas, it became possible to shoot at the gas tanks of cars. But if before vehicles exploded from one hit in the gas tank cap, then in grand theft Auto V has become much more realistic. However, now shooting at gas tanks has become even more interesting.

In order to shoot through the gas tank of the vast majority of cars in the game, you need to aim at the rear left wheel arch. Moreover, one shot is often not enough - you will have to shoot three or four times. As a result, the fuel will flow out through the holes made to the ground, leaving a long path behind the car, which can be set on fire by a shot, a flare, and even fire from a sports car exhaust pipe. If you experiment by shooting through the gas tanks of sports cars, you can achieve the fact that the driver trying to escape from the shooter will accelerate too sharply and fly into the air.

It's fun. But the real find of a pyromaniac is fuel trucks. They can often be found in the Paleto Bay area and around Sandy Shores. The main thing here is not to overdo it: in order for the jet beating from the tank to form a path, one single shot is enough - if you shoot several times, the fuel truck will simply fly up into the air. It looks, of course, very spectacular, but it is much more interesting to ignite a jet of fuel. It is advisable to choose a place so that the fuel truck stops at a traffic light or a railway crossing some time after the shot, since the fire spreads very slowly along the stream of gasoline: if the tank moves at normal speed, it will not be possible to blow it up in this way.

How to transport a bike

Bikes in GTA 5 are not much different from those in GTA San Andreas in terms of control. Just like in the game of 2004, to drive forward, it is enough to hold down one key, as, for example, when driving a car, but to drive fast, you will have to press the key rhythmically throughout the trip (simulating pedaling, yeah). Therefore, cycling over long distances and in remote areas is quite problematic, especially if you need to climb the mountain. However, you can cheat a little and deliver the bike to the place of skiing in a different way.

For example, if you want to leave the top of Mount Chilliad with a breeze, climbing there along the narrow tourist paths is not necessary at all. Near the funicular station, located at the foot of the mountain, you can always find a great mountain bike. To quickly and effortlessly lift it to the top, you need to drive it directly into the cable car cabin. Well, once at the top, it remains only to choose the right direction. You can even perform some difficult trick, for example, to overcome part of the way on a bicycle, and then jump off a sheer cliff. Only first you need to make sure that the character has a parachute in the arsenal.

If you need to transport your bike somewhere in a remote area, for example, in the Grand Senora Desert, where this type of transport is quite rare, use any pickup truck. To facilitate loading, you need to climb into the body, and slightly push the rear door, and when it opens, park the car so that it is easier to jump into it (for example, park it near a small hillock). After that, it remains only to jump into the cargo compartment. As practice shows, the bike during the movement of the pickup lies quite “calmly” and does not fly out of there at the first opportunity. However, it is still not worth it to enter low-angle turns at high speed.

How to fly a big plane

In GTA 5, there are about two dozen aircraft models. Such a vast fleet of aviation equipment has not been hitherto in any game of the series. Most of these aircraft can be bought at air and military equipment stores in. Others, such as the JoBuilt P-996 LAZER military fighter jet, can be stolen. But few people know that you can also fly on a transcontinental airliner - yes, yes, one of those giants that are often found at Los Santos International Airport.

Alas, not all airliners are suitable for flying, but only those aircraft that resemble the Boeing 747 fuselage shape - the red and white giants of the flyUS airline, equipped with four engines. To hijack such an airliner, you need to approach the front landing gear of the aircraft, and then simply press the button to enter the vehicle. The character will disappear and will immediately be in the cockpit. How he gets there, alas, will not be shown. In control, the aircraft is very clumsy, which is not surprising given its dimensions. Of course, with a little practice, it is quite possible to plant it even in the most difficult conditions - for example, on the top of Mount Chilliad. But sitting at the helm of this aircraft for the first time, the liner can easily be broken even when landing on a relatively convenient site, such as the MacKenzie airfield, located near the town of Grapeseed in the northeastern part of the state.

It's best to try to hijack a plane as Franklin or Michael after they become the proud owners at the international airport. In this case, the police will not cause any inconvenience. But if you sneak into the airport while playing Trevor, the character will immediately receive . And since the liner turns around very slowly and picks up speed on the runway, Trevor can get a decent one.

Phones

Each of GTA characters V has his smartphone.

Franklin uses a device from the mobile operator Badger, a large telecommunications corporation familiar to players from the last part of the game: Niko Bellic was once a client of Badger, main character GTAIV. The prototype of Badger in reality is T-Mobile Corporation, one of the largest US mobile operators. Externally, Franklin's smartphone most closely resembles the Samsung Galaxy S III, while its interface is clearly based on the Android operating system.

Michael boasts a smartphone from Fruit, a gaming parody of Apple Corporation. The interface of the device and the name iFruit is a reference to operating system iOS and iPhone smartphones, while appearance Michael's device is most similar to the iPhone 4/4s models.

Trevor uses a smartphone from Facade, which parodies Microsoft. The interface of the device reminds of the operating system Windows phone, and in appearance - a Nokia smartphone of the Lumia series. By the way, unlike the devices of the other two characters, Trevor's smartphone has cracks on the glass - apparently, traces of the hero's hectic life.

The capabilities of the devices have grown significantly since GTA IV - now the heroes can use their smartphones not only for calls. Devices allow you to read and respond to SMS messages (including those from other players), check your email and write responses to letters, take photos and publish them on the Social Club website directly from the game. For the first time in the Grand Theft Auto series, a quick save feature was implemented, which can also be used via a smartphone. You can also use your device to accept an invitation to play GTA Online from friends. But the most interesting was the ability to use a smartphone for Internet surfing, including for playing on the stock exchange and making purchases in online stores - you no longer need to look for a computer to access the Internet.

Fortunately, the developers have listened to the criticism of the system that existed in the last part of the game, and now no one distracts the player with annoying calls and invitations. True, this “radio silence” will last only until the purchase of a business - stupid managers of establishments that heroes can acquire cannot cope on their own even with the smallest problems, and begin to call the boss and.

As before, calling phone numbers that are not in the contact list is also allowed. To do this, open the contacts menu and call the numeric keypad by pressing the appropriate key (by default, the mouse wheel). After the number is entered, you need to press the same key again. For example, if you dial the number 545-555-0122, encountered in the "Lure" story mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, a guy with a strong Indian accent will pick up the phone and demand that you stop playing him again. By the way, it is phone numbers that are used in GTA 5 as cheat codes. In addition, as before, the phone displays play time and day of the week. This is important because some tasks, for example, are only available during certain hours.

satellite navigation

As you know, the territory of the state of San Andreas is huge, and it is not surprising to get lost here. And if you have found some interesting object or place with an amazingly beautiful view, and where you want to return again in the future, it is enough to take a photo of the character’s smartphone in this place.

The fact is that the Snapmatic application, which allows players to take pictures with various effects and frames, as well as publish them directly from the game on the Social Club website, attaches a geotag to each photo. If you go to the gallery in the game menu, you can see both the pictures taken and the places where they were taken - they are marked on the map with an icon. Moreover, the coordinates of these places can be transferred to the GPS-navigator of the character's car by pressing the corresponding key, which will allow you to get to the specified point along the shortest path.

Another one interesting opportunity navigation, which appeared in GTA 5 - the ability to make notes on the map. To do this, move the point selection cross to the desired location, and press the Tab key, or the corresponding button in the menu under the map. In total, ten of these labels can be put - they will be very useful when you collect or make. By the way, when a label becomes unnecessary, you can drag it to a new location with the mouse or delete it in the same way that it was put - you need to put a cross on the label and press Tab.

By the way, not everyone knows that if you put an ordinary purple marker on the map while playing one character, and then switch to another, the first character will continue on his way in the indicated direction on his own. True, sometimes the heroes behave obstinately and go in a completely different direction. Especially often this, of course, happens with Trevor.

An interesting feature satellite navigation in GTA 5, there was also a temporary loss of the GPS navigator signal. When the vehicle travels through a tunnel or goes underground, the route line disappears, but as soon as the vehicle is again under the open sky, the instrument's performance returns.

How to waste time

There are situations when you want to skip the time in the game a little forward. For example, in one of them it is necessary to dress Michael in a special cult outfit and walk in this form for ten days. If the character changes clothes (and this can happen in any mission), the countdown will start over.

Alas, repainting a car in Grand Theft Auto V does not take several hours of playing time, as in other games in the series. But a few hours can be "spent" on sleep, using the character's bed. At the same time, you don’t have to save the game - just exit the opened menu for choosing a slot to save.

It is noteworthy that the sleep time for each of the characters is individual: Franklin sleeps a full eight hours, Michael gets enough sleep for six, and Trevor - a big fan of lying in bed - sleeps for 12 hours in a row.

Quick treatment and vehicle repair

This method can be used exclusively in free mode - unfortunately, it will not work on a mission. If a character is seriously injured and you want to quickly restore his health, simply switch to another hero, and then immediately return back. Similarly, you can restore the supply of air in the lungs of the character, if it becomes clear that he does not have time to emerge, and sometimes a strip of a special ability (it is not always restored).

By the way, the same method can also be used to repair a car if its suspension is so damaged that it can no longer move at the same speed, however, the windows may remain broken. It is noteworthy that cars sometimes disappear when switching, but this does not happen often.

Trevor's invulnerability

Trevor's special ability is a kind of "rage". The character inflicts increased damage to enemies, while on the contrary, he receives less damage. And if Trevor falls from any height (even from an airship hovering under the clouds, even from a cliff, even from the roof of the tallest building in Los Santos), nothing threatens him - he is quite capable of surviving such a fall.

It is enough to turn on his special ability a few seconds before the hero hits the ground, and no matter how high he falls, he will simply rise to his feet, as if nothing had happened. However, it should be borne in mind that this possibility appears and disappears at different stages of the game, and what exactly is the reason for this, alas, is not known.

Road showdown and traffic light racing

Members traffic in Grand Theft Auto V they have become much smarter than they were in other parts of the series: they stop at traffic lights and do not try to go around the character’s car if he suddenly stops at a red light, but patiently wait for the green light to turn on and the car in front to move. However, residents of Los Santos have not learned how to rebuild normally - they do not always turn on the turn signal when rebuilding, and often this leads to very spectacular car accidents.

But now the player can show other drivers their dissatisfaction with their skills and behavior on the road, showing an insulting gesture. To do this, remove the weapon from your hands, and then press right button mouse while pointing the camera towards the person you want to show an obscene gesture to. Of course, this gesture looks most interesting when the character is in a convertible with a folded roof. It should be borne in mind that some road users will not leave the insult without attention and will try to attack the hero.

Another way to interact with traffic that appeared in GTA 5 is traffic light racing. To start the race, it is enough to stop at a red traffic light next to a car, hold down the gas and brake at the same time, and start spinning the engine. If you do these manipulations a couple of times or just honk, spinning the engine, a neighboring car, ignoring all the rules of the road, will suddenly rush forward. Of course, the faster the car of a citizen who succumbed to a simple provocation, the more interesting the race will be.

Non-random meetings

If two people go to the same place, putting a purple marker, playing for each, at one specific point, then the heroes may well meet. The first thing that comes to mind in this case is to try to kill the other protagonist. Alas, it will not work - as a result, the smartphone of the failed killer will only receive a message from the victim, in which he angrily demands to pay bills from the hospital.

Also, a response will surely follow if one hero damages the property of another - for example, if Franklin or Trevor steal the car of Michael's wife or his daughter, or fire at his house with a grenade launcher.

Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity and send your friends to the cinema, or, say, to a golf club. Although it is much easier to call another character and arrange a meeting in advance

Achievement "Three Heroes"

To unlock the "Three Man Army" achievement, you need to hold out for three minutes at a wanted level of three or more stars with all three characters at once outside of tasks. The easiest way to do this is to call the other two protagonists and agree on a joint leisure time, and then, after picking up both, go to Los Santos International Airport.

Playing as Franklin is best, as his special ability will come in handy. Also don't forget to visit Los Santos Customs and provide the car with bulletproof tires and extra armor.

To attract the attention of the police, having entered the territory of the airport, the easiest way is to blow up some plane, and then just try to stay away from the police cars so that one of the characters is not accidentally shot. There's plenty of room to run around here. However, some complex maneuvers are not needed - it is enough to drive back and forth along the runway at high speed. When the achievement is unlocked, it will be possible to break away from the cops and wait out the search activities in some secluded place, or repaint the car in Los Santos Customs.

Alt+F4 in browser

After spending some time on the in-game Internet, you can immediately exit the browser, instead of returning page by page.

To close the browser when playing with a keyboard and mouse, click the cross next to the address bar, and if you're playing with a gamepad, you need to click the button with the triangle icon or the letter "Y". As a result of this action, the browser will be closed, and the smartphone, if a mobile device was used for web surfing, will be hidden in your pocket.

How to get discounts

It's no secret that many companies offer everyone who wants to get a discount by subscribing to some kind of loyalty program, or even for subscribing to a brand page in any social network.

Pearlescent shades on metallic and matte paint

Despite the fact that Los Santos Customs does not have pearl shades for metallic and matte paints in the assortment, it is still possible to get them thanks to an interesting bug. However, use it unknown reason not all players succeed.

To get the desired result, you need to choose any matte paint as the main color of the vehicle and pay for repainting. Then you need to open the metallic paint section, and immediately exit it without repainting the vehicle. After that, you need to go to the license plate section and purchase any of them. When you return to the paint section after that, there will be a wide range of pearl shades.

To apply pearl shades to metallic paint, you need to follow the same steps, but you need to select metallic paint as the main one, and then just go to the matte paint section without repainting the vehicle and buy a license plate.

Right button - for all occasions

If you play with a gamepad, get used to the fact that you will press the right button almost more often than the shoot button - pressing the gamepad pad to the right in Grand Theft Auto 5 is responsible for a huge number of actions. So, if the character is in any vehicle, be it a car or an airship, using this button he will be able to turn on the headlights (in the daytime), switch between low and high beam modes (at night), and also turn them off (if they are on). , regardless of the time of day).

By holding the same button for a couple of seconds, you can raise or lower the roof of any convertible, the design of which provides for such an opportunity, however, this can only be done when the vehicle is stationary. Pressing the crosspiece to the right also unhooks trucks towed on a tow truck and semi-trailers of trucks. By the way, if you use the button when the hero is near random passers-by, the character will release a few funny remarks to them.

In GTA Online, a helicopter passenger sitting near the pilot can use the same button to activate the onboard gun aiming system or camera. And if you use small arms, supplemented by a flashlight for fighting in the dark, you will have to turn off the backlight with the same button.

used a lot "wheels"(we are talking about how the choice occurs in the game weapons and radio stations). And since main characters now there are three, they also have their own wheel. When you switch between them, you "fly over" around the world of the game - and you can find your current ward in an interesting, sometimes even comical, situation.
