We hope that by the time you've finished reading this guide, you will have all of the information necessary to play the game without any difficulty. The best way to experience the game on a larger screen and with improved visuals is to play Gangstar Vegas on a PC with LDPlayer 9. So let's get our Gangstar Vegas beginner guide started.

 

Perfect the Controls of Gangstar Vegas

If you have never played an open-world game before, the controls are the first thing you need to learn. You will need to play Gangstar Vegas for more than a few days to get used to the controls, but the game has a lot of settings that let you change the controls to fit your speed and the way you play the game. In this section, we'll look at a few of them and explain why you might want to use them instead of other settings.

 

Walking Controls

 

With the game's default settings, the Walking controls are very simple and easy to understand. Moving the left analog stick in the desired direction will allow you to advance. You must push the button with a running guy on it to run more quickly. About 80% of the time you play, you will be walking or sprinting, and you should know that sprinting lets you move freely. 

 

This means if you walk into a short wall, your character will automatically jump over it. This is helpful when running away from the police, but you have to be careful because your character might jump over things you don't want them to. For walking, the only settings you need to change are to increase the sensitivity if you want to turn quickly and decrease it if you want to move precisely.

 

Car Control

 

The hardest thing to do in the game is to drive. You will be given an accelerator and a brake as the default settings, and you will have to use motion controls to drive the car. Unlike GTA or other games, you won't be heavily punished for hitting other cars, but it gets annoying when you keep hitting things instead of going where you want to go, especially when you have to reverse with motion controls. 

 

You have to use manual control if you want to have a bit more control over your car. When you choose these settings, you'll be given an accelerator with a sliding scale that lets you use it to slow down the car as well. 

 

You'll also have to replace the motion controls with the manual method. The game gives you a lot of freedom to mix and match its different parts. Our favorite control set is the sixth one, where you use left-right steering, normal accelerator, and brake.

 

Plane and Helicopter Controls

 

No matter how good you are at Gangstar Vegas, flying things is always challenging. Mistakes are bound to happen, but you won't be able to fix them with motion control. Instead, you have to use the up and down arrow keys to change the altitude and the analog stick to change the direction.

 

Bike Controls

 

Nothing special about this; you really can't control the bike with a manual. Instead, use motion controls because turning the handle will always cause you to crash the bike.

 

Most of these functions are hard to get down, even if you copy the most successful player's control schemes, but if you use the LDPlayer Keyboard Mapping tool, you can create custom controls for driving and walking. For example, using its tools, you can control the camera with your mouse and shoot with it while moving with W, A, S, and D keys, just like playing a PC game. Through this, you will be able to control your vehicles much more precisely.

 

Types of Missions in Gangstar Vegas

 

Like many open-world games, Gangstar Vegas has a lot of different kinds of missions, which you can repeatedly do from the main menu. We will list the hardest missions and a few Gangstar Vegas tips you can use to complete them.

 

Survival

 

In survival missions, you have to fight off waves of enemies for as long as possible, or more specifically, you have to kill five waves of enemies in as little time as possible while staying in the yellow ring. After leaving it, you have 15 seconds to get back into the yellow zone. But to quickly kill enemies and move on to the next wave, you have to get close to them and shoot. In this kind of mission, a sniper rifle is a good weapon to have.

 

Heist

You will be tasked with pulling off a series of robberies in many locations in a heist. You will first have to find the building manager you are about to rob and kill them to take the vault or any other safe location keys. Then you will have to survive a few waves of enemies. Once the progress bar fills up, you should start exiting the building. Then, lose the cops and return to the stash location as quickly as possible.

 

Carnage

 

In these kinds of missions, you will have to kill people, which is what you do most of the time in the game. Basically, you need to use a vehicle to destroy the target shown on your mini-map as quickly as possible. Most of the time, your target will be pedestrians, so it's best to choose a large vehicle for these kinds of missions so you can shoot while driving.

 

Ring Challenge

In-ring challenges, you have a certain amount of time to drive through every yellow ring. Also, you should avoid all the red rings because each one takes away 5 seconds from the time you have to finish the mission.

 

Freefall

 

In freefall, your goal is to go through all the rings and land in the landing zone. You have to pull your character back to slow down his fall, and moving the controller up will make him go faster. Since the rings will be in an arc, you will have to go up and down several times to get through them all. If you fall too far, you can use your parachutes to get back up. You can use it to slow down how fast you're falling, but you have to open and close it quickly, or the mission will be hard to finish.

 

The best option is to create a Keyboard Macro Command to open and close the parachute with a single button, or you can use the Record Macro option to do it for you repeatedly once you press the allocated button.

Gangs in Gangstar Vegas

Forming a gang is one method that players may work together to progress through the game. If you want to participate in special Gang Promotions and win special rewards, you may either join an existing Gang or start your own. 

 

 

Gang promotions are a form of assignment that often has a deadline and a leaderboard. In order to participate in Gang-only tasks and gain Gang-only points, you must be a member of the gang. Members of the successful gangs will each get an individual prize.

 

The level of the gang's activeness can be determined by its size. When a Gang wants to level up, its members must participate in Promotions and earn as many points as possible. Everyone in the group gets a special reward when the level increases.

 

How does Item Creation work in Gangstar Vegas?

While playing the game, you will acquire many one or two-star items; the problem is what you can do with them. The most profitable way you can dispose of them is by using them to create other items through the workshop. You will be able to use the workbench every 30 minutes to create any items available to you. 

 

Once you use the low-grade items, they will be consumed to create new items. These new items are much better than the one or two-star level weapons, and mostly, they will be similar to the weapons you can get through diamond crates.

 

Conclusion

The game is fun and innovative, but its controls need some getting used to; once you learn how to live with it, the game will be much more fun if you don't want to waste more time and want to play the game right away. Go with the alternative method we have shown you. We hope the information provided here will be useful to you; now it is time to end this Gangstar Vegas beginner guide; thanks for reading.
