Time Stamps:
00:00 - Failing "Mountain Cloud Boys" whilst obtaining the AP (All Proof) Sentinel
26:00 - Proving the AP Properties and showing off the AP Sentinel
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, and Mobile since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. It does NOT work on the Definitive Edition due to the Sawn-Off Shotguns not being able to move wrecks that are glued to the ground.
You will NEED a Parachute before you begin since it's the only way to destroy the AP Sentinel. You also will NEED the Sawn-Off Shotguns or a Minigun as it's the only way to move a wreck that is glued to the ground! Be sure to have at least ONE Satchel Charge on you so you can plant it on Woozie and blow him up to fail the Mission after destroying the AP Sentinel with the Parachute.
Yes, the Calton Heights Safehouse Garage is MUCH closer than Doherty. You can try to shoot the wreck of the AP Sentinel to that Garage if you dare, but just know the entire time it's UPHILL and the entire time, you'll have Triads shooting AK-47's at you! In the end, sure, you can succeed, but with how many attempts failing beforehand would it take? It's not advised, but you can do what you want.
You may wonder why I am not DRIVING to the Red Marker to start the Mission or why I got onto a Sanchez with Woozie DURING the Mission and then got off of it. This resets AI Accuracy to normal. For instance, if I would be in a CAR (not a Bike) and gone through this process, it's guaranteed I would be THAT MUCH MORE shredded by the Triads because of the Accuracy Bug present in San Andreas that most people don't even realize or understand. When CJ is on a Bike, AI has less chance to shoot him. When CJ is in a Car/Truck/Van, etc, their Accuracy INCREASES because of the larger object (Car) they can hit as opposed to a Bike. When CJ gets out of a Car, however, the Accuracy REMAINS HIGH and DOES NOT RESET causing a lot more damage done to CJ's health in the process. It only resets when you get onto a Bike, and then exit the Bike. Definitive Edition works differently. Wait for it. How did they fix this Bug for Definitive Edition? By making the AI Accuracy 100% all the time. Good one. This is why on those early Versions of the Definitive Edition in San Andreas, you see people literally die in Missions they would never die in before, due to this horrific Bug making Definitive Edition that much harder at times.
I highly recommend NOT obtaining this AP Sentinel ever. It's just completely pointless and skipping the one early on in Los Santos doesn't exactly help your collection of Special Vehicles be any larger by this stage of the game, anyways. Always obtain the AP Sentinel from "The Green Sabre" and never this Mission.
The Sentinel featured in the Mission has Traffic Default Colors and changes upon reloading the Mission. None of them are special.
Fun Fact - There's an INFERIOR EM Sentinel featured in this Mission. If you want to see how to obtain it, check this Video out - youtube.com/watch?v=cUrJDj_HkLc
*** On the Definitive Edition, you can pass the Mission and obtain the AP Sentinel now. See that here - youtube.com/watch?v=uMFiPQBGDa4 and here is another Method with Mission Failure which is much shorter - youtube.com/watch?v=W_EZVtUcP9c&t=1s&pp=0gcJCdYKAYcqIYzv
I am recording this Video on PCSX2 Version 1.6.0. Game Version is SLUS-20946 (Version 1.03) of GTA San Andreas for PS2.
