Introduction
Welcome to the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Definitive Edition Trophy Guide (aka GTA Trilogy / GTA San Andreas Remaster on PS4 and PS5). The 2021 remaster of a 17-year old classic, this definitive edition includes upgrades and quality of life updates such as updated graphics and lighting, updated driving controls, updated gunplay mechanics, a GPS system and other features.
Unlike the PS2-to-PS4 port of GTA San Andreas, cheats will disable all trophies in this version, so you will not be able to use cheats to your advantage. The game can very rarely crash, so it is recommended that you save regularly, especially when doing stuff without autosaves such as capturing gang territories or collecting oysters. It is also recommended that you play the game in Performance mode, as when played in Fidelity mode certain mission cutscenes can cause the game to crash.
You will need to get 100% Completion in order to obtain the platinum, which consists of doing all story missions, asset missions, side missions, winning all races, collecting all 4 types of collectibles, purchasing all properties and some other smaller requirements. Nothing that is required for 100% Completion is missable, so you can work towards this however you like. For more information regarding 100% completion, please see the 100% Completion Guide & Checklist.
Most other trophies fall under the 100% requirement, however there are some you will need to go out of your way to do, such as the mission-specific trophies. There are three of these in the game and these are missable. The story itself can be completed within roughly 20 hours, with the platinum requiring 35-45 hours, however it is recommended to do some side content such as Vehicle Missions early on to unlock their upgrades, rather than doing them after the story.
Step 1: Complete the Story, get missable mission-related trophies
Play through the story in any way you please, doing as much optional and side content along the way as you want. As you play, it is advised that you swap weapons when a weapon reaches Hitman skill level, as you will eventually need to fully max out all weapons. While you could simply focus on the story missions until you complete the game and do all other content afterwards, it is recommended that you complete the Vehicle Missions, as these will give you upgrades such as increased health and infinite sprint. If you do decide to do optional content as you play, do not waste your time capturing gang warfare turfs when you first unlock them, as you will lose all unlocked turfs after you first leave Los Santos.
While playing through the story, take note of the below 3 missions, as these have mission-specific trophies that are missable:
- Madd Dogg’s Rhymes: Assassin
- Mike Toreno: Who Needs Directions?
- Black Project: They Can’t Stop All of Us
Step 2: Complete all optional content for 100% Completion
With the game completed and the full map available, it’s best to focus on everything left that’s required for 100% completion. This will include all asset missions, vehicle missions, races, properties and all 4 types of collectibles, as well as several smaller requirements. A lot of the optional stuff required for 100% boils down to driving around with different conditions. It is best to do this before capturing all the gang turfs, as the unlocks from 100% completion can make that easier.

Step 3: Capture all Gang Warfare Turfs, Max all Weapon Skills and Miscellaneous Cleanup
After getting 100% completion, you will get replenishing ammo for all your weapons, and a Rhino tank will spawn under the bridge in Grove Street, both of which can help speed up the process of capturing all gang turfs. While doing this you can also work on maxing out the remaining weapon skills, or alternatively do that separately if you prefer to just use your best weapons and the Rhino for all turfs. If you haven’t earned all miscellaneous trophies, now is the time to clean them up.

Swiss Army Strife Max all weapon skills. |
![]() |
Weapon Skill is a rating of how well you handle certain weapons, and it applies to all pistols, machine guns, shotguns and assault rifles. All guns start at a rating of Poor (0), and work up to Gangster and eventually Hitman (1000). You will need to hit Hitman rating will all 10 eligible weapons to unlock the trophy.
Other than simply using guns you haven’t maxed, there are 2 main ways to work towards this: The first is during Gang Warfare. You will eventually need to take over all 53 Gang Warfare Turfs for Ain’t Nothing But a G Thing If however you just want to use the tank or stick to your best weapons when doing gang wars, the alternative and more direct way to level your weapons is to simply head to a safehouse with a garage and park a vehicle inside. Shoot the vehicle with a weapon you want to level until it catches fire, then let the garage close so it repairs. Repeat this for each weapon and you can complete each weapon in about 5 minutes of shooting. The below weapons are required to max out. Many of these can be made available at the main safehouses by collecting all collectibles for that respective island, or can alternatively all be made available for purchase at Ammu-Nation (with the final weapons unlocking after completing the mission “You’ve Had Your Chips”):

They Can’t Stop All of Us Sneak into the underground base without setting off the alarm above ground during “Black Project”. |
![]() |
Missable!
Mission: Black Project (The Truth) In this mission you have to sneak into Area 69, break into the underground base and steal Black Project: the Jetpack. You will need to make it into base without setting off the alarm above ground by letting the guards or spotlights see you. You will need to go to the control room on the eastern side, so sneak along the fence going east and headshot any guards you see with your Silenced Pistol. If you need to you can shoot up to 2 spotlights, but any more than 2 and you will alert them. The guards aren’t too aware, so as long as you stay near the fence you can move without much concern. Once you open the bunker from the control room, head into the middle of Area 69 and enter through the doors. The alarms will sound once you enter, but this is normal. You will need to complete the rest of the mission as the trophy pops upon completion. If you set off an alarm while outside simply let them kill you as there is a checkpoint right at the beginning of that section. Given the trophy doesn’t pop until after completing it, make sure to have a manual save beforehand so you can load if it doesn’t pop. |

![]() |
Smooth Moves Perform a perfect dance routine. |
![]() |
This can be done during the dancing mini-game, which you can play during the mission “Life’s A Beach”, on dancing dates with girlfriends, or simply by entering one of the nightclubs on your own (the most accessible of which is the Alhambra in Idlewood, Los Santos).
The dancing mini-game is a simple rhythm game where you have to press the correct directional button when the arrow goes through the middle, and you will get points based on your timing. A perfect dance routine doesn’t actually require you to hit all notes, it simply requires your overall performance (indicated at the top of the screen) to having the rating of Perfect. Your rating can go from Bad, Good and Perfect, depending on how accurately you hit the notes, and as long as you end the mini-game with a Perfect rating you will get the trophy, even if you miss some notes. |

What the City Needs Complete 12 levels of Vigilante. |
![]() |
Vigilante missions will require any law enforcement vehicle, including the HPV-1000, Rhino and Hunter (in the case of the Hunter the mission is called Brown Thunder, but it still counts as the same thing). In order to complete it, you will need to reach and complete level 12 in one go. Each level will increase the number of criminals to kill by 1, with level 1 starting with a single criminal in a car, and level 12 having 12 criminals split across 3 cars.
The easiest way to do this is either with the Rhino or Hunter, but these will require some effort to acquire. The Rhino can be accessed from Area 69 within the Restricted Area in Las Venturas, and entering Area 69 will give you an immediate 5-star wanted level. The Hunter can be acquired either by getting all gold medals in the Flight School, or by smuggling it out of the Heli Hell checkpoint race (by flying it to Las Venturas Airport where you start the checkpoint race and letting the race fail). These vehicles will make Vigilante a joke, as the Rhino is effectively indestructible, destroys cars quickly and has a cannon, whereas the Hunter can cover ground incredibly quickly, has lock-on guns as well as rockets. If you want to do this early on however, you will need to use a regular law enforcement vehicle, of which the HPV-100 Police Bike is the best choice. With this method you will want to use any variant of SMG (preferably with 2000+ bullets to ensure you don’t run out during the mission) and drive-by the criminals until they either get out of their cars or they blow up. The HPV-100 is great for this as you can shoot forwards as well as sideways. Be careful when they get out as they can sometimes have shotguns or rifles which will destroy your vehicle very quickly. You will inevitably get a high wanted level while doing this method, meaning you will either need to find police bribes or quickly grab another vehicle to use a Pay’N’Spray. You will also likely need to change law enforcement vehicles several times during the course of this. Upon completing the Vigilante mission, you will increase your maximum armor. |
||
![]() |
Saviour Complete 12 levels of Paramedic. |
![]() |
Paramedic missions will require an Ambulance. In order to complete it, you will need to reach and complete level 12 in one go. This mission tasks you with picking up injured civilians around the map, and returning them to the hospital, granting time both on pick up and (sometimes) on drop off, with the number required to rescue going up by 1 every level. The Ambulance has very poor handling and can flip very easily, so while doing this it is recommended to drive cautiously, and brake with ![]() The best location to complete this is in Angel Pines (which is where you start after completing the mission “The Green Sabre”), as the town has a hospital and is very small. By doing the mission here all the patients will be very close by and you can complete the paramedic mission very quickly. Upon completing the Paramedic mission, you will increase your maximum health. |
||
![]() |
Rescue a Kitten Too? Complete 12 levels of Firefighter. |
![]() |
Firefighter missions will require a Fire Truck, which can be found at any Fire Station or by starting a fire with molotov cocktails. In order to complete it, you will need to reach and complete level 12 in one go. Each level will increase the number of fires to put out by 1, with level 1 starting with a single car on fire, and level 12 having 3 cars on fire, all full with passengers. When you put out a burning car the passengers will get out and start running around, and you must put them out. You will receive time with every fire put out and quickly have an excess of time, so the only thing to be careful of while doing this is making sure you don’t ram into any burning cars or run over any burning passengers, as this makes you fail the mission.
Upon completing the Firefighter mission, you will become fireproof. |
||
![]() |
Yes I Speak English Reach 50 fares in Taxi Mode. |
![]() |
Taxi Driver missions will require either a Taxi or Cabbie. You will need to complete an overall total of 50 fares to complete this, and it does not need to be done in a single sitting. This will simply require driving from point A to point B, picking up fares, and dropping them off.
Upon completing 50 total fares, all Taxis will be equipped with nitro and hydraulics. |
||
![]() |
Lucky Spinner Win at least $1,000 in a single spin of the Wheel of Fortune. |
![]() |
The Wheel of Fortune can be found in the back left corner of the Four Dragons Casino. It is a large spinning wheel that is effectively the same as roulette but with fewer options. In order to win $1,000 in a single spin you will want to bet the maximum amount on $10, and spin it until you get a win. | ||
![]() |
What happens in Las Venturas… Complete “Yay Ka-Boom-Boom”. |
![]() |
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed.
Yay Ka-Boom-Boom is the final story mission in San Fierro, and completing it will unlock Las Venturas. You will need to pick up a rigged car and take it to the drug compound next to the Driving School. Kill the guards to get inside, then park the car in the factory by the canisters and trigger the bomb. Get out of the building before it explodes, then attempt to leave the compound. You’ll be locked in, so steal the car and use it on ramp to jump out of the compound. |
||

All Dressed Up for San Fierro Complete “The Green Sabre”. |
![]() |
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed.

![]() |
Not a Player Go on at least one date with every potential girlfriend. |
![]() |
There are 6 potential girlfriends in the game that you can date. 2 of them you will start dating automatically as part of story missions, while the other 4 can be met in the world. After meeting a girl you can date her by going to one of the love hearts on the map. You can date all 6 girls simultaneously. In order to start dating a girl, CJ’s appearance and sex appeal will need to match their preferences, with some preferring high muscle and others preferring high fat. You can avoid this however by collecting all 50 Oysters, as doing this will make it so the girls will date you regardless of CJ’s appearance and sex appeal.
Simply taking a girl on a date is sufficient for the trophy, it does not matter how the date ends up. The trophy will pop immediately upon starting the date with the 6th girl. For a complete list of all Potential Girlfriends, please see GTA San Andreas Potential Girlfriend Locations. |

What are the Odds Win a race in Inside Track Betting. |
![]() |
There are 2 Inside Track Betting shops in the game, and both are on the first island. One is underneath the bridge in Downtown, Los Santos, and the other is located in the town of Montgomery, Red County. Inside these betting shops you can interact with the machine to place a bet on a horse, with betting odds between 1/2 and 1/12. Simply bet however much you like on whichever horse you like until you win.
If you want to make easy money, you can save nearby, bet all your money on the horse with the highest odds, then save if you win or load if you lose. |
||
![]() |
Double or Nothin’ Put all your money or the maximum bet on red or black and win. |
![]() |
This can be done at any of the roulette tables in Four Dragons Casino. Bet the maximum amount for the table on either red or black, and repeat this until you win. It’s a 50/50 chance when betting all on red or black, so it shouldn’t take many attempts to get this. | ||
![]() |
Assassin Stealth kill all enemies in the mission “Madd Dogg’s Rhymes”. |
![]() |
Missable!
Mission: Madd Dogg’s Rhymes (OG Loc) In this mission you will need to break into Madd Dogg’s mansion, steal his rhyme book and return to OG Loc. For this trophy, you must complete the mansion section of the mission without alerting any guards and killing them only with stealth. For the first half of the mansion you will need to use the knife to get stealth kills (hold If you get spotted at all you will not get this trophy, even if you manage to still get stealth kills with the knife after alerting them. There is a checkpoint the moment you enter the mansion, so if at any point you get spotted while inside, simply let them kill you to try again. The trophy will pop as soon as you leave the mansion, so if it doesn’t pop you will need to load your previous save and try it again. |

Today Was a Good Day Go 24 hours (in game) without breaking the law, being wanted, killing or harming anyone. |
![]() |
The best way to do this is to simply wait for 24 minutes. You may get this naturally while doing other things, but it is unlikely as killing or harming anyone, stealing cars or getting a wanted level will reset the timer. | ||
![]() |
Public Enemy No. 1 Reach 6 wanted stars. |
![]() |
Before you are able to do this, you will need to complete the mission “Fender Ketchup” in Las Venturas, as prior to this you can only get a maximum of 5 wanted stars.
The easiest way to get a 6-star wanted level is to break into Area 69 west of Las Venturas and stealing the Rhino tank. By breaking into Area 69, you will get an automatic 5-star wanted level, and with the tank you will very quickly attain a 6-star wanted level by destroying everything that attacks you. |
||
![]() |
Chick Magnet Achieve maximum sex appeal. |
![]() |
Sex Appeal is a stat that can be viewed in the stat menu or by holding ![]() The best way to get this is to buy the fanciest clothes and haircut you can, and then head to a tattoo parlor. Buy all the tattoos you can, and then swap between two tattoos on the same body part. Every time you put on a new tattoo it will give you an extra 1% sex appeal, so repeat this until your base sex appeal is at 50%. Once it is at 50%, you will want to get yourself a sports car like the Turismo, Cheetah or Infernus, which will grand the other 50% sex appeal immediately. |

Ain’t Nothing But a G Thing Own all gang warfare turfs, properties and have $1,000,000. |
![]() |
Gang Warfare Turfs
Note: Gang Warfare becomes available to you after completing the mission “Doberman”, but you will lose access to Gang Warfare for a significant portion of the game shortly after this, so do not waste your time capturing turfs as soon as you unlock it. Once you return to Los Santos and do the mission “Home Coming”, you will be able to capture turfs again but you will lose all previously held turfs. There are 53 Gang Turfs in total, and they will be held by the Ballas (Purple), Los Santos Vagos (Yellow) and Grove Street Family (Green) once you take them over. In order to capture a turf, you must first kill 3 members of that gang within the colored section on the map while on foot to initiate a gang war. Once a gang war starts, there will be 3 waves of gangsters who will spawn to attack you, with weapons spanning from Pistols, Micro SMGs, SMGs and AK-47s. The darker colored gang turfs will have more gangsters defending it with better weapons, while the lighter colored gang turfs will have fewer gangsters with weaker weapons. While capturing gang turfs, the waves of gangsters will generally spawn out of your view, so you can control where they spawn by looking in the direction you don’t want them to spawn. By doing this you can force them to spawn together and funnel towards you, making them easier to kill. You can also utilize walls to peek around and shoot gangsters without them being able to attack you easily. Also make sure to crouch when shooting to increase your aim. Some smaller gang turfs can be difficult to capture due to Ballas or Vagos not spawning in them, in which case you can lead those that spawn outside the area into it by making them hostile and luring them to the gang turf before killing them. As there are so many turfs, you can use this as a chance to level up your weapon skills to work towards Swiss Army Strife It is worthwhile making sure you are currently dating Katie Zhan before doing the gang turfs, as dying while she is your girlfriend will allow you to keep all your weapons. Properties There are 24 Properties and 5 Hotel Suites that you can buy across the map. These will appear on the map as a green house when they are available for purchase, or a red house if it’s not yet available. Purchasing all 29 locations will cost a total of $879,000, and they will all be available for purchase after completing the mission “Learning to Fly”. Money Even with the cost of buying all properties, $1,000,000 shouldn’t be an issue to acquire. Completing all race tournaments grants $1,000,000, completing all export lists can give up to $1,444,000 and getting 100% completion gives $1,000,000, not to mention all the money you will make doing all the missions and other content. |

Miguel Angel Flores says
Archavia, thank you so much for these GTA guides. I platted GTA 3 with your guide and currently playing Vice City with the guide. Looking foward to playing San Andreas as well. The community appreciates your hard work!
Ramses Blair says
Thanks for this guide. Im almost done with San Andreas now for the 3rd time. Can’t wait to start GTA 3 and Vice City.
Long Live the King, San Andreas!
Anonymous says
Thank you for the trophy guide. I appreciate all 3 games having trophy guides soon after the release, now to wait for the trilogy to be patched further and PS4 physical edition to go down in price.
Nikki_boagreis says
Haven’t experienced any bugs with the Trilogy, i know certain post would imply the Trilogy is the worst release sence Cyberpunk 2077 i haven’t experienced any off map exploits or mission glitches.
SBlue says
With every game, there’s more to do. I just plat both GTAIII and GTA: Vice City. Now starting with this behemoth of a big game. Your guides are extremely helpful and I’m grateful for your detailed work.
Diablo says
35-45 hours is not true. I have 41 hours on the clock and I currently have 88.5% of the game and before me take over the gang area, finish the game (las venturas missions) and a few side trophies. I’ve done everything really fast so far and I can’t believe anyone can do it within this time limit. 45-60 hours is an appropriate time frame in my opinion. Maybe someone who has already hit 100% and knows how to do everything and skips cutscenes and uses various types of glitch will make these 45 hours, but I think this is a small% of all people playing it. Just taking over gang area is a good few hours of playing; 3 export lists; 4 types of finds etc…
Archavia says
I was about to complete the platinum in 40 hours without skipping cutscenes, without using glitches, checking some stuff for guide purposes and mistakenly doing all gang warfare turfs at the start of the game so had to do them twice. I put 35-45 as it accommodated for the time I wasted, and also for a more leisurely pace. The times are definitely doable within that time frame. However in saying that I will adjust the time to 40-50 as I think that will be applicable to the majority moreso than 35-45.
Marvelman says
Youre just slow dude, 35-45 is easily doable
Simon says
The description for I’ll Have Two Number 9s is wrong.
You need to eat 10 of the biggest meals (third option) then wait/save for 18-24 hours. You can also eat that between missions.
Without the 18-24hrs between meals, you vomit when eating more than 10 meals in one restaurant visit.
Thanks for the great guide!
Yamatora says
Important strategies for gang warfare / Ain’t Nothing But a G Thing:
– Get the minigun from the safe house in Tierra Robada
– Do it after achieving 100% for infinite ammo
– Date Katie Zan to keep all your weapons, when getting wasted
If no three gangsters spawn:
– String them along, if they are in another turf and kill them within the desired turf
– Shoot at gang cars to get three gangsters and kill them in within the turf
– Killing drug dealers will spawn gang members (usually standing there with crossed arms)
Yamatora says
And: If a turf is under attack, simply start a vehicle mission e.g. Taxi, Ambulance, etc. This will stop the attack / no need to drive there and shoot the hostile gang members.

Is anyone else missing 1 oyster? I have looked everywhere, checked all the locations across multiple guides. I think it may be a glitch where one or more oysters is invisible and it’s impossible to know which one I’ve missed. Any help would be appreciated.
Joey O. says
There is a glitch on the Vigilante missions where criminals do not spawn. You kill one set of criminals and get to the next level and the next set of criminals doesn’t spawn. Has anyone else experienced this?

You might want to clarify for Public Enemy #1 you need to have completed the Fender Ketchup mission at the Golden Dragon Casino in order to actually get the 6th star. Anything prior to that you are maxed at 5 stars no matter how many LEO you shoot with the Rhino.
Archavia says
Thanks for mentioning this, I’ve added it.
Ronald says
I got it after the mission Verdant Meadows. I bought the property en went straight for the tank and the 6 stars.

When going for What Are the Odds, you can become a multimillionaire in a relatively short time at Inside Track by betting 10% of your bankroll at a time on the horse with the longest odds. For example, if you have $2000, bet $200 on the 11/1 or 12/1 horse. If you lose, bet $180, etc. As you win, you’ll add significantly to your bankroll while minimizing your losses. The odds are solely related to your payout; they have nothing to do with the chances of that horse winning. In other words, you have a 1/5 chance of your horse winning, no matter which horse you bet on. As long as you are betting on a horse with greater than 1/5 odds, you’ll add to your bankroll over time. I went from CJ’s starting $300 to $3 million in about 20-30 minutes or so.

Hmm how about betting 100% and load game if you lose? This is what I did when i was 10 years old in 2004.

To get money do the video poker at 25k a time, as its easy to double your money each time and if you get a full house its something like 3 million dollar win. I went from 80k to 33million playing video poker for 30 mins.

Does anyone actually understand why sex appeal won’t increase via clothing sometimes? I’d love to understand it and find an in game fix. I’m in my wardrobe swapping clothes, and it just stays at 0. (I know of the exploit to get 100, not asking that)
ShyGeek says
The only thing I can suggest is wear the clothes from Victim or DiderSachs. But what I did was wear the Gimp Suit (Obtain it after completing the mission, Key to Her Heart) the gold chain and watch accessory from Victim and drive any fancy or any 2 Door Sports car like the ZR-350, Bullet, Banshee, Infernus, Super GT or Comet. The vehicles is what boosts the sex appeal.
Nathan says
Thanks so much for the guide helps alot.

The Pay ‘n’ spray-trophy is story-related. You get in in the “Drive-by” mission from Sweet.
Shannon says
The snapshots that are needed for 100% can also be glitched, I found that one of the snaps for me doesn’t spawn at all (Ocean flats) so no 100% for me in this run.
Also one mission for me glitched – Cop Wheels.
Eoghan says
I really need help. I have all trophies except 1 ( 100% completion ). I’m at 95% and have hit the gym glitch keeping me from learning the new moves. Anyone able to help!?
