GTA: Definitive Edition Switch Guide – Cheats, Tips, and Tricks

We have brought you a GTA Definitive Edition Switch Guide with all the cheats, tips, and tricks. You will need this to go further in the game.

The games industry has been dominated by GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas for decades. These classic games have been enjoyed by millions and millions of players over the years. New fans of the open-world trilogy will dive into the remasters once again, while those who are (relatively) new to the franchise will experience them for the first time.

As such, we’ll go over a few basic tips that you should keep in mind when you get ready to play the remasters, especially if it’s your first time playing them. We have created a Definitive Edition Switch Guide which contains all the necessary tips and tricks with a few cheat codes that will help you in the game.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Side missions for Vice City

Players may do side quests in Vice City that provide valuable prizes. Vigilante missions and pizza delivery missions are the ones you should concentrate on first. Completing a level 12 Vigilante assignment raises your maximum health. While completing a level 10 mission of pizza delivery raises your maximum armor—both of which are important improvements, as you might expect.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Side missions for San Andreas

San Andreas gives you a lot of options for customizing your play style and improving your abilities and qualities. However, you will still receive vital prizes for completing side missions, such as increased maximum health for completing paramedic missions. Firefighter quests are especially beneficial because you gain resistance to fire damage after you reach level 12 in that questline.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Side missions for GTA 3

In GTA3, there are numerous side missions, which may tempt players to ignore them and just focus on the main storyline, but these side missions often have fantastic rewards. As you progress through paramedic missions, for example, you will earn three levels of rewards. Health pick-ups are available at all safe houses. Adrenaline pick-ups are available at all safe houses, as well as unlimited sprints if you complete the entire set. In the meantime, complete 20 Firefighter jobs and unlock a flamethrower in each Safehouse.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Malibu Club

One of the most costly residences in Vice City is the Malibu Club. However, the usefulness of the benefits it delivers makes it worthwhile to work toward. The first benefit is a daily income of $10,000, which is a substantial sum. Once you buy the Malibu Club, you may acquire the strongest weaponry in the game, including a machine gun and a rocket launcher, from Phil’s gun store.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Armor

Unlike the later games in the series, GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas have the ability to push players with challenging firefights. As a result, in combat, you’re more likely to need even the slightest advantage. Wearing an armor suit at all times is one of the best things you can do to protect yourself from damage.

You need to equip your armor at all times, whether you buy it or find it in the open world if you want to have the best chance of success. Vice City has a body armor set that respawns on the top floor of the Ocean Beach Parking Garage, so that’s an area you can visit frequently to get free armor.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Hidden Packages

There are Hidden Packages scattered about in all three of the GTAs in question here, as you’d expect from a game with an open world. You should keep an eye out for them, even though they are completely optional. Although they count towards 100% completion, they also offer material gameplay advantages from time to time, even if you don’t care about that. In addition, you can unlock different types of body armor and weapons permanently.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Befriend

A GTA game respawns you in the hospital each time you die – however, you lose all your money and weapons. It is possible to circumvent this in San Andreas. Find an NPC named Katie Zhan at Avispa Country Club. Once you reach the necessary body stats, you can befriend her, unlocking key perks like free hospital visits and keeping all your weapons when you die.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Shooting range in Vice City

Vice City allows players to improve their attributes in some ways, though its upgrade mechanics aren’t as robust as those in San Andreas. Ammu-Nation stores have shooting ranges, for instance, which are pretty useful. If you earn 30 points in the shooting range, you get a $500 reward, and if you earn 45 or more points, you gain a permanent increase in reload speed.

Definitive Edition Switch Guide: Weapon skill

In San Andreas, improving your weapon performance is far more sophisticated than in its predecessors. CJ has a competence skill for each weapon in the game, which improves in three tiers depending on how much time he spends with it. One simple method to improve is to place a car in your garage and fire at it. Then, just before the car is going to be wrecked, close the garage door. Continue firing at the completely restored car after that, then rinse and repeat.
