GTA3 SSV

Introduction

The Shoreside Vale island is a new addition to GTA3:MTA, added in version 0.5. Shoreside Vale has two things different from the other GTA3:MTA islands: the character selection screen, and jumping height is increased. When you jump, you go farther and higher than you normally would. This was implemented to dodge car-killers.

Weapons

You can also choose from a range of different weapons before spawning.

	An Uzi is selected by default in the character selction menu. This is a good all-around weapon.
	The Flamethrower is a popular choice, although flamethrowing players are often unpopular with other players. This is more suited to close-range combat. Some will even ban people who use the flamethrower to kill.
	The AK-47 is suitable for long-range combat.
	The most common choice is the Shotgun. Shotgun duels are frequent, and take advantage of "shotgun jumping." This is when you shoot the opponent, jump over to the opponent, then shoot him while he's on the ground. This normally results in an instant kill.

Mini-games

Within the five different Ammunation locations, you can choose an extra option to take a taxi to the Game Mode selection screen. The game modes are:

	Speed There is a bus parked outside Francis International Airport. Get in it. Once you hit 50MPH, the timer starts. You must maintain at least 50MPH, otherwise the bus will explode. Other players will try to make you blow up before reaching your target. Reward: $3000
	Van Heist Very similar to the mission ("Van Heist") given to you by Joey Leone in single player GTA3, you must jack a Securicar from the airport and bring it to a selected location. Reward: $5000
	Grand Theft Auto Steal a car from a rival gang leader and bring it to your base. Cops do not participate in this.
	Ransack A warehouse was once used as a firearms storage. Collect the firearms before time runs out!
	Shoreside Scramble A race around Shoreside Vale with up to three other players. Similar to the "Turismo" game mode on the other two islands.
