Five years ago, Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson escaped the haze of Los Santos, San Andreas...a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. Now, it's the early 90s. CJ’s got to go home - his mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart, and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of cops frame him for homicide, forcing CJ on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets in the next iteration of the series that changed everything.

Achievements and Trophies

The following achievements and trophies can be achieved during multiple playthroughs of the game. These are discussed in a separate section as these are may or may not naturally happen during first playthrough of the game.

With Extra Dip

Buy 8 meals from Cluckin' Bell throughout the game.

It's as simple as that. Visit any Cluckin' Bell and keep munching on food until you get the trophy. Be careful not to get fat!

Hoopin' It Up

Score at least 30 points in the basketball mini-game.

To get this trophy early, visit the Basketball Court just next to the Cluckin' Bell in Los Santos, pickup the ball and start the Challenge Mode. The trick to always score points is to release the shoot button right after CJ starts his jump animation.

I'll Have Two Number 9s

Reach maximum weight.

It's as simple as that. Visit any Restaurant in San Andreas and keep munching on unhealthy food until you get fat.

Swiss Army Strife

Max all weapon skills.

This trophy can come naturally as you play the game and fire more weapons on enemies and NPC's. You can only improve the skill of some weapons: Pistol, Desert Eagle, Silenced Pistol, Tec-9 / Micro-SMG, MP5, AK-46, M4, Shotgun, Sawn-Off Shotgun, and Combat Shotgun. Every bullet you fire from your weapons will increase your weapon skill. You can see here a few tips and tricks on how to get this trophy faster.

Horror of the Santa Maria

Drown.

It's as simple as that. Go into the Ocean, dive underwater and stay there until you choke on the water!

Lucky Spinner

Win at least $1,000 in a single spin of the Wheel of Fortune.

Visit the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas to get this trophy. To make things easier, you should increase your gambling skill. You can see here a few tips and tricks on how to increase your gambling skill. Once you get the ability to gamble on $1,000 tables, find a Wheel of Fortune table of $1,000. When you find one, bet everything on $1.

Not a Player

Go on at least one date with every potential girlfriend.

In the game there are 6 girls that you can take out on dates: Denise, Helena, Michelle, Katie, Barbara, and Millie. You meet Denise and Millie as progress you through the story; the rest can be met as soon as their location is unlocked. You can see here a full guide on Girlfriends in GTA San Andreas.

What are the Odds

Win a race in Inside Track Betting.

Inside Track Betting are shops where you can bet money on horse racing. Visit any shop and walk up to a terminal to start the minigame. There's a good chance that the bottom horse will win. On average, it wins every 5/6 races but don't skip any or you'll probably miss out on the win.

Double or Nothin'

Put all your money or the maximum bet on red or black and win.

Visit the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas to get this trophy. You need to find a roulette table and try your luck on either red or black. Go with the $100 bet tables and it may take a couple of tries to win the bet.

Original Gangster

Reach maximum respect.

Respect is an element indicating how inclined the Grove Street Families are to help CJ. The high the respect level, the more gang members CJ can recruit. This trophy can come naturally as you progress through the story and after "Homecoming", while you take over the rival gangs' turfs and killing rival gang members.

Today Was a Good Day

Go 24 hours (in game) without breaking the law, being wanted, killing or harming anyone.

It's as simple as that. Try to be a normal up-standing citizen of San Andreas for a day. If you find it too hard to accomplish, just go afk for an in-game day to get the trophy.

Public Enemy No. 1

Reach 6 wanted stars.

This trophy can come naturally as you play the game. You can get a 6-star wanted level only if you have unlocked the entire map. Steal a tank from Area 69 and go on a rampage to easily get 6 stars.

Chick Magnet

Achieve maximum sex appeal.

This trophy can come naturally as you play the game. Sex Appeal is determined by what you are wearing, physical attributes and the vehicle you're currently driving. All you really have to do is just wear expensive clothing and drive a sports car. But if you want it quicker, visit any Tattoo Parlor and buy the cheapest tattoo, remove it again, buy it again and repeat until you reach 50% Sex Appeal. You can fulfill the remaining 50% with a sports or luxury car.

Ain't Nothing But a G Thing

Own all gang warfare turfs, properties and have $1,000,000.

This trophy can come naturally as you go towards 100% Completion. As you complete it, all you'll really have left is owning all gang warefare turfs. Attack & claim turfs to completely eliminate the Ballas and Vagos from Los Santos to get the trophy.

...Here we go again

Start a new game after getting 100% on a save file

It's as simple as that. Get 100% completion on one playthrough of GTA: San Andreas then start a new game to restart CJ's adventure.

Sticky Fingers

Earn $50,000 through burglary missions.

Burglary is a side mission where you search houses for anything worth stealing to later resell for a profit. This can be started whenever you enter a black Boxville van between 8 PM and 6 AM. During a mission, you can steal anything you can. Televisions, VCs, consoles, stereos and even microwaves can be taken and placed inside the Boxville. The money you earn from burglaries depends on the number of items stolen: number of items squared times 20 is your profit. To complete the mission, you need to earn a minimum of $10,000 from stolen items. CJ will be able to infinitely sprint upon completion. You keep continuing to loot houses until you earn a minimum of $50,000 for the achievement. You can check the amount of money made from burglary in the Stats menu.

81 Years Too Late

Spend 24 hours on foot in the countryside (looking for Big Foot).

This trophy can come naturally as you play through the "Badlands" part of the story. Walk around Mount Chiliad for an in-game day to get this achievement. A little fun fact: the achievement name actually refers to the year when Red Dead Redemption takes place, 81 years before the events of GTA San Andreas (hence, why you're '81 years too late')!

Get a Pump

Do a barbell curl or benchpress at any gym.

Visit any gym in San Andreas and put some gains in! Complete a rep on either machine to get the trophy.

Beat the Cock

Win the Beat the Cock marathon.

Metrosexual

Spend $6,969 on clothes, hair, and tattoos.

It's as simple as that. Keep spending money on clothes, haircuts and tattoos until you get the achievement. You can also buy, remove, and buy again haircuts and tattoos to get the achievement faster.

Get arrested 50 times.

It's as simple as that. Don't finish at the police station! You can track how many times you've been busted in the Stats menu.

I Ain't No Buster
