Play Like a Pro: Losing the Heat


In Liberty City, you can’t go three feet without seeing a police cruiser or police officer patrolling the streets. Inevitably, you will encounter the police while doing such activities such as driving like a maniac, or drifting around corners…into a police cruisers.

Once you do something illegal in the presence of the police, you will notice that the radar will have a large red circle on it. This is the circle that you must get out of if you want to lose the police. The higher your wanted level, the larger the circle is. If you manage to drive out of the circle boundary without the police seeing you, then all you need to do is wait a few seconds while your warrant level fades away. Losing the police is as simple as making as many winding turns down as many streets as possible.

You may of noticed a few smaller flashing red circles on the radar when you have a wanted level. These flashing circles are the locations of police vehicles nearby. Knowing where the police are ahead of time is an essential tool when trying to lose your wanted level. If the police spot you at any time the wanted circle repositions itself over you, forcing you to lose them all over again.

One final way of losing the police is to make use of the many Pay ‘n’ Spray stations throughout Liberty City. For 100$ you can enter the Pay’n’ Spray, and exit with a new paint job – instantly clearing your wanted level. Be warned however as you cannot enter a Pay ‘n’ Spray if the police see you enter – and if for some reason you are in possession of a police cruiser, Pay ‘n’ Spray will refuse to respray it.
