Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/any%

Route

This is just a quick overview of the route and the any% specific stuff. Details still keep changing and are mostly better gotten from viewing actual runs. More detailed information about specific missions can be found on another page.

Los Santos

A big problem with routing in Los Santos are the missions you can only start at a certain time. Especially OG Loc's missions, that are far away from CJ's house (so you can't save to correct the time).

• Big Smoke
  • Get a handgun from a Police Officer or Gangmember after the cutscene in the middle of the mission, shouldn't loose any time as long as Ryder keeps moving.
• Ryder
• Tagging up the Turf
• Cleaning Up The Hood
  • Use the gun picked up during Big Smoke to kill the Drugdealers.
• Drive-Thru
• Nines And AK's
• OG Loc
• Life's a Beach @22-6
• Running Dog
• Drive-by
• Sweet's Girl
• Cesar Vialpando
• High Stakes Low-Rider
  • If health is too low, eat something at the Chilidog-Stand at the Pier after the race. Needed for next mission.
• Madd Dogg's Ryhmes
• Management Issues
• House Party (Cutscene)
• Burning Desire
  • Should start looking out for a Sportsbike around here, it's fast but also necessary for Gray Imports. It can be kept until after Gray Imports.
• Doberman
• Gray Imports
  • Use a sportsbike to drive through the warehouse, if you have enough SMG ammo for Wrong Side of the Tracks, try to run over the target as soon as possible.
• Wrong Side of the Tracks
• Just Business
• Home Invasion @12-20
• House Party @20-6
• Catalyst
• Los Sepulcros @9-17
• Robbing Uncle Sam
• Reuniting the Families
  • Get the Spraycan again before the mission, so you can slide through the motel. You can do it anytime after Burning Desire (which replaces the Spraycan with the Fire Extuingisher).
• The Green Sabre

Badlands

• Badlands
• Bustedwarp to Dillimore
• Tanker Commander
  • If you did the Bustedwarp, you won't have any weapons to kill yourself for the Deathwarp after this mission. While you wait for Catalina to finish talking, you can look out for a cop to run over or if there is none quickly get the gun from the Police Station.
• Deathwarp to Angel Pine
• Body Harvest
  • If you did the Deathwarp, you won't have any weapons to kill yourself for the Deaathwarp after this mission, so get a rifle from the farm you steal the Combine Harvester from.
• Deathwarp to Angel Pine
• King in Exile (Cutscene)
• Bustedwarp to Dillimore
• Against all Odds
  • Pick up the Satchel charges in the alley to the right of the entrance of the Betting Shop. Can be used for Are You Going To San Fierro?
