GTA has been a staple in gaming since it was first released in October of 1997. Today we are turning back the clock and taking the time to appreciate a gem in the GTA gaming pantheon. With the fifth iteration being released in 2013, people have only guessed what kind of new things you could do when the game was released.

GTA is already known for its violence, sex and hardcore gameplay for gamers so being able to succeed in this game is on everyone’s mind when they buy it. So what are the most important things to do when playing this particular GTA game?

10. Get The Invincibility Cheat

What good are cheat codes if you aren’t going to use them? Right? The invincibility cheat really does mean what it says. It makes the player invincible to anything and everything. The cheat code requires the player to tap in a code on their Xbox or PS4 controller.

To be clear the invincibility cheat is only temporary and if the player gets in a certain sticky situation where they cannot escape from, they’ll most likely get wasted.

9. Go On A Mission

Much of the games’ missions are an escapade of bank heists and/or tracking down a target, pursuing them and finally completing the mission. If any gamer has any sense, they will most likely want to have a walkthrough or get through these missions as best and as fast as possible.

These missions will keep the gamer on the edge of their seat and the action-packed sequences are almost breathtaking.

8. Get A Car

One of the most fun things about GTA is when you’re driving a car through the city of Los Santos. What’s more fun than that is stealing a car and driving it through the city. If you’re being pursued by the cops — the most hated characters in GTA — having a car can be very helpful in evading them.

Whether it is a truck or a sexy sports car, having a car and running into a bunch of people when you do it is the most cathartic thing you might be doing all day.

7. Choose Your Weapon

The best way to defend yourself in this game, if you already don’t have a car to drive through people, is to purchase or steal a weapon. In GTA, of course, handguns, AKs, bats, and crowbars are all available and up for grabs if you know where to find them.

Naturally, those are just a few of the entire arsenal that you can procure during your GTA tenure.

6. Don’t Get Caught

One of the most exciting feelings during the gameplay is the feeling of the chase. However, that can all turn sour when the police catch and shoot you. The best way to remedy this is simple: Don’t get caught!

Remember that the police have guns too and they will not hesitate to use them and that’s not mentioning the helicopters that they have monitoring the city like vultures. So your best bet is to just stay alive and don’t get caught.

5. Don’t Get Wasted

One of the most important things that you want to do is to not get wasted or killed in the course of the game and with all of the mayhem going on. You most likely want to follow the examples above and minimize your chances of death, but nobody on GTA is perfect and the fifth installment just ups the antics.

4. Find Crazy Mods

Some mods in the game might be incredibly outlandish and far-fetched but they certainly make for fun gameplay. What’s really cool is that, if you can find the right codes and cheats, you can unlock mods like tsunami and earthquake. Natural disasters are sure to give the player a boost of adrenaline.

There is also the crazy planes mod where a bunch of planes can come flying around the sky and crash land near your location.

3. Have Fun In A Strip Club

What’s more fun than going to the strip club? Not that much when you really get down to it. Strip clubs for GTA V can be a great pastime and usually a cliche place to have a gun fight.

Many fights and brawls can ensue in this location and, in many cases, it can be really awesome to look at.

2. Make The Most Of Your Locations

One of the best ways to succeed in this game is to make the most out of the locations that surround you. There is nothing worse than being stuck in the middle of nowhere with nobody around, like maybe the desert.

Using the locations that are around you can help you achieve success in playing the game and you’ll have fun doing it.

  1. Be Creative

Creativity is the most important thing in succeeding in GTA V. The player must be clever and have their wits about them during the course of the gameplay. To be able to get away with a crime, you really need to think like a criminal and be smart about it.

You must be quick on your feet and you will have plenty of entertainment running through location and weapon. With all of that being said, play on, gamers!
