San Andreas does not ask you to do everything for 100%, but the list is long. IGN’s checklist splits it into 16 categories. The list below follows IGN, with links to our other guides where they help.
| Category | What you need |
|---|---|
| Main story | Every story mission |
| Asset missions | Every asset mission |
| Vehicle missions | All six types |
| Race tournaments | Every race in Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas |
| Stadium events | All four |
| Vehicle challenges | Chiliad Challenge, BMX Challenge and NRG-500 Challenge |
| Gyms | Learn the new moves at each gym |
| Schools | At least a bronze medal in every test |
| Tags | All 100 |
| Snapshots | All 50 |
| Horseshoes | All 50 |
| Oysters | All 50 |
| Ammu-Nation shooting range | All three rounds for all four weapons |
| Exports and imports | All three vehicle lists |
| Safehouses | Buy every one |
| Hotel suites | Buy all five |
Story and assets
- Story missions: all of them. IGN’s beginner guide counts over 100.
- Asset missions: IGN lists ten assets. The Johnson House is yours from the start. The others are Wang Cars, the Zero RC Shop, Hippy Shopper and the Vank Hoff Hotel in San Fierro, the Verdant Meadows Airstrip and Hunter Quarry in Bone County, RS Haul in Flint County, Roboi’s Food Mart in Los Santos and Burger Shot in Las Venturas.
Vehicle missions, races and events
- Vehicle missions: Taxi Driver, Firefighter, Paramedic, Vigilante, RS Haul Trucker and Freight. IGN says each pays well and gives CJ a lasting bonus.
- Race tournaments: one set in each city. IGN recommends finishing Driving School first.
- Stadium events: 8-Track, Blood Bowl, Kickstart and Dirt Track.
- Vehicle challenges: the Chiliad Challenge, the BMX Challenge and the NRG-500 Challenge, placing first in each.
Schools and gyms
- Schools: Driving, Pilot, Boat and Bike School. Bronze in every test is enough for 100%, though gold earns better vehicles. Our schools guide lists each one.
- Gyms: at each of the three gyms, beat the trainer to learn that gym’s moves. CJ needs enough Muscle before the trainer will fight.
Collectibles
All four main sets count. See our collectibles guide for what each one gives.
- Tags: 100, all in Los Santos.
- Snapshots: 50, all in San Fierro.
- Horseshoes: 50, all in Las Venturas.
- Oysters: 50, underwater all over the map.
Ammu-Nation shooting range
Clear all three rounds for each weapon in one attempt. IGN lists four challenges, each paying $10,000:
| Weapon | Reward |
|---|---|
| Pistol | $10,000 |
| Micro SMG | $10,000 |
| Shotgun | $10,000 |
| AK-47 | $10,000 |
Exports, safehouses and suites
- Exports and imports: deliver every car on all three lists. IGN’s Driving School page notes the bronze reward, the Super GT, is one of the cars you can use.
- Safehouses: IGN’s checklist lists 29 to buy. Its property page puts the total for every safehouse at $879,000, and new ones unlock as the story opens up the map.
- Hotel suites: the Vank Hoff in the Park suite in San Fierro ($50,000) and four Las Venturas suites at $6,000 each: Old Venturas Strip, Pirates in Men’s Pants, The Camel’s Toe and The Clown’s Pocket.
What you do not need
- Gang territories. IGN’s gang war page says owning every territory is not needed for 100%.
- Unique jumps. IGN counts 70 and says they pay $500 each but do not count.
- Burglary. IGN marks it as optional, although it unlocks unlimited sprint.
- Girlfriends. They are not on IGN’s checklist, even though their perks help.
Trophies and achievements
From IGN’s list for the Definitive Edition:
| Trophy / achievement | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Remastered | Earn 100% completion |
| …Here we go again | Start a new game after reaching 100% on a save |
| School’s Out | Fully complete a vehicle school |
| A Legitimate Business | Export all three car lists |
| Ain’t Nothing But a G Thing | Own all gang turfs and properties, and have $1,000,000 |
That last one is not part of 100%, but it pairs well with it: you buy every safehouse for 100% anyway.
Tips for the last few percent
- Do the vehicle missions early. Paramedic and Vigilante make CJ much tougher for everything else.
- Get the jetpack before hunting horseshoes. IGN says it spawns at Verdant Meadows after the airstrip mission Green Goo, and some horseshoes sit on rooftops.
- Save money for the property list near the end. The safehouses and suites alone cost hundreds of thousands.
- Pick up oysters while you are already in the water for other tasks.
