Unique trait | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
All-proof | AP | The vehicle receives no damage from anything. (BP/FP/EP/DP/MP) |
Bullet-proof | BP | The vehicle receives no damage from direct hits from bullets. |
Fire-proof | FP | The vehicle receives no damage from any flames or fires except when the vehicle is already burning from other forms of damage. |
Explosion-proof | EP | The vehicle receives no damage from any explosions inflicted upon the vehicle. |
Damage-proof | DP | The vehicle receives no damage from collisions or any form of physical damage. However, this does not protect the vehicle from melee damage if not coupled with Melee-proofing. |
Melee-proof | MP | The vehicle does not receive any damage from any melee attacks (i.e. stomping or punching the vehicle). This does not protect the vehicle from collision damage if not coupled with Damage-proofing. |
Tip-proof | TP | The vehicle will not catch fire when it's tipped over. This property is available in any 3D-era GTA, but can only be saved in a garage in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories. |
Permanent Color | PC | The vehicle's paint job cannot be changed in a spray shop when it could otherwise. |
Heavy | H | The vehicle's mass is greater than it should normally be, meaning the vehicle will lose less momentum when colliding into dynamic objects. The downside to this is that collisions will damage the vehicle more than it would normally and it reflects the same amount of your hit. |
Unique Paintjob | Name of color | The vehicle's paint job is unique and cannot be obtained through spray shops or mod shops. However, the unique paint job can be painted over and lost if the player enters a spray shop with the vehicle. |
Unique Handling | UH | The vehicle's handling is altered to let the player be able to cut corners and turn more quickly than normal. |
Pop-Proof | PP | The vehicle's tires cannot be popped by any means. |
Water-Proof | WP | The vehicle will not sink in the water where it will just blast through, falling into Blue Hell. |
Double Damage | DD | The vehicle will take twice as much damage than ordinary vehicles. |
Triple Damage-Stand | Unknown | The vehicle will receive a third of the ordinary damage from collision. This property is available in any 3D-era GTA, but can only be saved in a garage in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories. |
Rare | R | The model of the vehicle appears only a few times during missions in the game. |
Unobtainable | U | Cannot be obtained legitimately. You can only get it through trainers or Cheat Device (LCS, VCS). Some cannot be obtained without complete modifications of the game. |

(On the PC version save a replay above a rampage and load the replay while in any sub-mission vehicle and spam the button that triggers the sub-mission. If done right, you shoould be able to do everything that you can not normally do while on a rampage. Start The Party and after picking up the Soiree Outfit head back to Ken's office and wait for the rampage to end so you can start The Party again. Head to the yacht with the vehicle you want to make black in the pink marker and after the cutscene kill Mercedes. Now go get the Soiree suit again and head to the marina but this time go to the marker on foot. After the cutscene, the vehicle will be black.) |
