Redonculous Videos of the Week: The Sultan RS

Want the Sultan RS secret car? Want to know where to go to find the Sultan RS? Look no more! This video shows you the exact map coordinates so you can go grab the car yourself and then park it in front of your safehouse for future awesomeness.

Water + Cars = Bad

If you manage to drive your car into deep water, the car will begin to sink.  You will have roughly 3-4 seconds to exit the car before Niko drowns.  Heres a tip if you are having a water stand off with the police.  normally, you cannot fire weapons while swiming – which leaves Niko a sitting duck for enemy fire.  If you have driven a car into the water, you can climb on top of it using the square button and then use the roof of the car as a platform to fire off of.

Redonculous GTA 4 Videos of the Week: Claude’s Outfit

This video will show you where to get Claude’s outfit from GTA 3, complete with the always useful map coordinates.  You can only get this outfit if you chose to kill off Playboy instead of Dwayne. Simply do as the video says, and boom – you can get back to the old school roots of the GTA franchise.

There be Explosions!: Grenades and Vehicles

Niko can throw both the Molotov and the grenade out of any vehicle while he is driving.  While in a vehicle, cycle to your grenades by pressing square.  Once you have the grenades/Molotovs selected hold L1 to prime the grenade, and release L1 to throw the grenade out of driver side window.

Once again, if you hold the grenade too long – it explodes and Niko dies.

Redonculous GTA 4 Videos of the Week: Machinima Flatline

Heres a real gem of a Machinima. Its a story about a young doctor just tryin’ to make a living down at the Liberty City hospital, who unfortunately is surrounded by a grossly incompetent nursing staff. The BF2 tie in is a nice touch as well. What are you waiting for? WATCH IT!!!!!!

Cheat O’ the Day: “Advanced” Weapons

*Remember, using cheats in GTA IV may disable certain achievements within the game, and you should not save your game if you wish to unlock them.*

Typing the number 486-555-0100 into the cellphone will grant Niko the following weapons:

The baseball bat, the desert eagle handgun, the MP5, the M16 assault rifle, the automatic sniper rifle, grenades, and the RPG.

Use the cheat several times to fill up ammo reserves for all weapons.

Redonculous GTA 4 Videos of the Week: GTA Deaths

Here at Gtastud, we always a enjoy a good death montage. Today’s video doesn’t disappoint. Check out the deaths at 0:53 for a great stunt car jump, and the skyscraper jump at 1:12 into some helicopter blades in multiplayer. Also worth a look, is the scene at 2:02 withthe flaming car creeping up on some unsuspecting Liberty City citizens.

Play Like a Pro: Shooting Enemies in Vehicles

GTA IV’s realism adds several interesting advantages for Niko as he attempts to etch out a living for himself in Liberty City.  Take for instance that you are able to shoot out car windows, and aim at targets who are still in their cars.  Free-look aiming for targets that are still within their vehicles gives Niko a huge tactical advantage, as enemies such as police will not fire on you until they have exited their car.

This can also become handy in missions that require Niko to assassinate an enemy within a set amount of time.  Simply run them off the road, and shoot them while they sit in their car.

Cheat O’ the Day: Spawning the Jetmax

Need a boat?  Spawn the Jetmax by inputing this cheat into the cellphone: 938-555-0100.  Always a handy cheat if you find yourself in the drink and in need of a boat.

Performing a Quick Turn

While running, Niko can quickly turn around and continue at the same speed in the opposite direction by holding down on the left analog stick.  Useful if you notice a large amount of police pulling up infront of you and you need to run for it.
