Things to avoid during the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas trophy hunt
The trophy hunting process is long, and it will certainly keep you engaged for several weeks. Therefore, try to avoid making any silly mistakes during the process and focus on the game and the task. The GTA San Andreas trophy guide advises you to avoid the following at all costs:
- Do not use any cheat codes during the trophy hunt. Rockstar Games disables all achievements and trophies as soon as you activate a cheat code. While you can still play the game, trophies will not be rewarded until you do it clean. Therefore, if you don’t want your effort to go in vain, the GTA San Andreas trophy guide advises you not to use cheat codes.
- Do not use speedrun techniques during the trophy hunt. Speedrunning is a completely different way to approach games, and you should not combine it with trophy hunting. Speedrunning Grand Theft Auto 5 requires you to skip through various missions and activities. As a result, you will miss out on many rewards. Therefore, the GTA San Andreas trophy guide advises you not to speedrun the game.
- Do not use any glitches during the trophy hunt. Since the game was developed and released in the early 2000s, there are many glitches that the player base frequently uses for its benefit. However, the GTA San Andreas trophy guide advises serious trophy hunters to avoid this path as it can cause glitches in progress as well.
