Story and contacts
Complete required and available side missions before their points of no return.
100%: Grand Theft Auto III
Full completion requires planning because changing gang relations can make later activities considerably harder.
One hundred per cent in GTA III is not just about the story. Side missions, 100 hidden packages, 20 rampages, 20 unique stunt jumps, service missions such as Vigilante, Paramedic and Firefighter, and the import/export car lists all count. The game does not show exactly what is missing, so it pays to keep a record from the very first hour.
Gang relations are the biggest trap. Once you turn against a particular group in the story, its territory becomes dangerous, making it much harder to collect packages or complete jumps there. Anyone aiming for a stress-free 100% run should collect everything in each district before falling out with its gang.
Package rewards come in batches of ten: every ten packages you find add a new weapon to your safehouses. Collect from the start and you get equipment for the harder missions free of charge.

Checklist
100 Hidden Packages
Use a numbered list; every ten packages add a reward to the safehouses.
Rampages and jumps
The game must confirm success. A triggered but failed Rampage moves to another location.
Service missions
Vigilante, Paramedic, Firefighter and Taxi are best completed during the safer early stages.
Import/Export and RC
Vehicle lists and remote-control challenges are among the easiest requirements to overlook.
When one per cent is missing
Statistics
Compare the individual counters, not only the overall percentage.
Missable missions
If an employer disappeared after progress in another strand, an older save may be necessary.
Keep the installation consistent
Do not change main.scm or major gameplay mods during a 100% run.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the main questions about this topic
How many hidden packages are there in GTA III?
One hundred. Every ten you find add a new weapon to your safehouses, so it is worth collecting them as you go.
Do I have to complete every mission for 100%?
Yes, both story missions and side missions from employers count towards completion. The story alone is not enough for one hundred per cent — packages, jumps, rampages and service missions will still be missing.
Why has my completion percentage stopped even though I have done everything?
The most common cause is one missing package, jump or rampage. Compare the figures in the Stats menu with the checklist category by category instead of guessing from the map.
