Play Like a Pro: The Speedy Parked Car Theft
Sometimes in Liberty City you just don’t have time to waste. The parked car theft animation that Niko performs is sometimes just too slow, and costly when your are being attacked. Nothing is more painful to watch then when Niko is elbowing out a car window while the Cops take your life total from full to half. You can counter this problem if your fast using this technique.
Use Free-look by holding L2 lightly, and shoot out the window of the parked car that you wish to steal. Instead of performing the long “look around and elbow” animation, Niko will simply open the door and proceed on to hotwire the car.
