Conquer Grand Theft Auto III's post-game. Achieve 100% completion and master Liberty City's streets with free roam activities and unlockable content.
Congratulations, you've completed the main story of Grand Theft Auto III! But the chaos of Liberty City doesn't end there. The post-game offers a wealth of activities to truly master the city, earn maximum respect, and unlock every secret. This section will guide you through achieving 100% completion and dominating the streets.
Achieving 100% Completion
To truly conquer Liberty City, you'll need to hit that coveted 100% completion mark. This involves more than just finishing the main storyline. Here's a detailed breakdown of what's required:
1. Complete All Story Missions
This is the foundation. Ensure every mission from the various crime bosses – Luigi Goterelli, Joey Leone, Toni Cipriani, Salvatore Leone, Asuka Kasen, Kenji Kasen, Ray Machowski, and Donald Love – has been successfully finished, culminating in the final mission, "The Exchange."
2. Complete All Phone Missions
These side missions are crucial for 100% completion. Keep an eye out for ringing payphones marked on your radar. There are three distinct sets:
- Marty Chonks Missions (Portland): Found near the Bitch 'n' Dog Food Factory in Trenton. There are 4 missions: "The Crook," "The Thieves," "The Wife," and "Her Lover."
- King Courtney Missions (Staunton Island): Located in Aspatria, near the stadium. These 5 missions include "Bling-Bling Scramble," "Uzi Rider," "Gangcar Round-Up," "Kingdom Come," and "Waka-Gashira Wipeout."
- D-Ice Missions (Shoreside Vale): Found in Wichita Gardens. These 5 missions are "Uzi Money," "Gang Warfare," "Deal Steal," "Shima," and "Toyz n the Hood."
3. Complete All Vehicle Missions
Jump into specific service vehicles and activate these challenging side activities:
- Paramedic (Ambulance): Find an Ambulance anywhere in the city. Activate the mission and complete all 12 levels by picking up and dropping off injured citizens at hospitals. Reaching Level 12 grants you infinite sprint.
- Firefighter (Fire Truck): Locate a Fire Truck (often found at fire stations in Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale). Activate the mission and extinguish fires across all 12 levels. Completing Level 12 makes Claude fireproof.
- Vigilante (Police Car, FBI Car, Enforcer, Rhino): Steal any police vehicle and activate the mission. Hunt down and eliminate criminals across all 12 levels. Successfully completing Level 12 awards you a 150% armor upgrade.
- Taxi Driver (Taxi, Cabbie, Borgnine): Grab a Taxi and start picking up fares. Complete 100 total fares (not necessarily in one go) to unlock the Borgnine taxi at the Portland taxi stand.
4. Complete All RC Toyz Missions
These unique missions involve controlling remote-controlled vehicles. There are four distinct missions, each triggered by entering a specific "Toyz" van:
- Diablo Destruction (Portland): Find the Diablo Stallion parked in Hepburn Heights.
- Mafia Massacre (Portland): Locate the Mafia Sentinel in Saint Mark's.
- Casino Calamity (Staunton Island): The Yakuza Stinger is found in Torrington, near the casino.
- Rumpo Rampage (Shoreside Vale): The Hoods Rumpo XL is in Wichita Gardens.
5. Complete All Import/Export Lists
There are two separate import/export garages to fill:
- Portland Docks (Emergency Vehicles): Located in Portland Harbor. Deliver a specific list of emergency vehicles (Ambulance, Fire Truck, Police Car, FBI Car, Enforcer, Rhino, Barracks OL) to the crane.
- Pike Creek (Standard Vehicles): Found in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale. This garage requires you to deliver various common and uncommon vehicles. Check the list posted on the garage door for specific models.
6. Collect All Hidden Packages
There are 100 Hidden Packages scattered across Liberty City. Collecting them all not only contributes to 100% completion but also grants weapon spawns at your safehouses. For every 10 packages collected, a new weapon will appear. The final reward for all 100 is a Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, and Sniper Rifle at all safehouses.
- Portland: 33 Packages
- Staunton Island: 36 Packages
- Shoreside Vale: 31 Packages
Strategy: Utilize an online map or a dedicated guide for precise locations. Many packages are hidden in obscure corners, on rooftops, or behind buildings. A good strategy is to systematically sweep each district.
7. Complete All Unique Jumps
Liberty City features 20 Unique Jumps that require specific vehicles and precise execution. Successfully completing all of them is mandatory for 100%.
- Portland: 8 Jumps
- Staunton Island: 7 Jumps
- Shoreside Vale: 5 Jumps
Strategy: Look for ramps, broken bridges, or elevated sections of road. Often, a fast car like a Stinger or a Banshee is ideal. Experiment with different approach speeds and angles.
8. Complete All Rampages
There are 20 Rampages to complete, each marked by a skull icon. These challenges require you to eliminate a certain number of gang members or destroy vehicles within a time limit using a specific weapon.
- Portland: 7 Rampages
- Staunton Island: 7 Rampages
- Shoreside Vale: 6 Rampages
Strategy: Before starting a Rampage, ensure you have full health and armor. Pay attention to the weapon provided and the target you need to eliminate. Some are easier with a car, others on foot.
Free Roam Activities & Rewards
Even after 100% completion, Liberty City remains your playground. Here are some activities to enjoy and the benefits of achieving full completion:
Post-100% Rewards
- Infinite Sprint: Acquired by completing Paramedic Level 12.
- Fireproof: Acquired by completing Firefighter Level 12.
- 150% Armor: Acquired by completing Vigilante Level 12.
- Weapon Spawns at Safehouses: As mentioned, collecting Hidden Packages unlocks various weapons at your safehouses, including the powerful Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, and Sniper Rifle.

Ongoing Free Roam Fun
- Gang Warfare: Continue to engage in turf wars. Drive through enemy territory and provoke fights. This is a great way to practice combat and vehicle skills.
- Vehicle Collecting: Seek out rare or unique vehicles. Some vehicles only spawn in specific areas or during certain missions. Try to collect them all and store them in your garages.
- Stunt Driving: Explore the city for new jumps and challenging driving routes. Practice your precision driving and evasive maneuvers.
- Causing Mayhem: Sometimes, there's nothing more satisfying than simply causing as much destruction and chaos as possible, racking up a 6-star wanted level, and seeing how long you can survive against the full force of the LCPD, FBI, and Army.
- Exploring Hidden Areas: Even after completing everything, you might discover small, previously unnoticed details or areas. Keep an eye out for interesting easter eggs.
Liberty City is vast and full of opportunities for mayhem and mastery. Enjoy your reign as the undisputed king of the concrete jungle!
