Capturing outposts quickly
When playing in Coop mode with a friend look in the same direction at the same time Throw the signal smoke to call in for reinforcements to capture an outpost If done correctly both of the thrown signal smokes will start to smoke and two helicopters will appear This will speed up the process when you are getting shot or are in a tight situation

Defeating Carmona
When Carmonas men are attacking the PMC after you destroy the tanks set a charge of C4 on the gates closer to the mansion and blow it It should drop straight down and block the road leading out of the compound Enter the mansion and trigger the intermission sequence When you exit the building the road leading out of the compound is still blocked Kill Carmonas bodyguards and his jeep should be stuck on the rubble of the archway Kill him and snap the picture for easy verification of Carmona
Easy money
After completing the first UP mission and receiving Ewan talk to him about the Winch challenge After completing level 3 on this challenge bet the maximum amount of money Even though you have already done this the height does not raise Therefore you can continue betting at the maximum amount After about four times depending on how much you start with you should have about 70 million You can continue from here in order to get the maximum wager amount to 50 million when you have about 140 million in funds From there you can repeat this as often as desired when you need money
Easy Sniper challenge
Use R1 and not the scope for it Take out the drums next to the cars first then go the two statues for some extra time
Easy transport and smuggling missions
This trick only works after you obtain a helicopter pilot and the winch ability When on a transport or smuggling contract that relies on you not tipping the vehicle and losing the objects inside summon a helicopter before entering the mission assigned vehicle as close to the vehicle as possible Then enter the mission vehicle The timer should start Get back out and take off in your helicopter Use the winch to grab the mission vehicle and gain as much altitude as possible If you fly relatively level you will not lose anything However even if you bank even slightly to get around obstacles losses will be minimal as long as you do not actually bank the copter in a hard turn The vehicle will get tossed about making the copter harder to fly but if you travel directly to the dropoff point from the beginning it will keep its cargo This helps you avoid nearly all ground forces All you have to worry about are the antiair guns and other helicopters If worst comes to worst simply drop the vehicle after coming down to about 20 feet or less You will have already have saved enough time to hijack another helicopter

This is most useful when used with factions who are already hostile to keep them from shooting you down but can also be used to keep friendly factions from becoming upset with you Obtain one of the helicopters used by the faction you want to steal from or one of its allies and allow your disguise to finish Fly to the location of the fuel you want to obtain and lower your winch Grab the fuel tank and lift off before the enemy soldiers recognize you then fly to a secure location either the PMC or a remote open location Once out of sight call Ewan in for the pickup Note Using a heavier helicopter is recommended as the Rogue and Gunney class choppers are extremely difficult to control when carrying a heavy fuel tank Also there are at least half a dozen fuel tanks relatively close to the PMC most of which are controlled by Universal Petroleum Spending the fuel for an Ambassador Gunship an Allied helicopter who are allies with UP is well worth it if you are going to use your PMC as a fuel depot
