Time Stamps:
00:00 - Wasting CJ and failing "Toreno's Last Flight" whilst obtaining the AP/EC/EC2 (All Proof, Exclusive Color, and Exclusive Secondary Color) Saxony Blue Poly and Bright Blue Poly Maverick
19:00 - Proving the AP Properties and showing off the AP/EC/EC2 Maverick
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 having no effect when shooting any Vehicle. There's an alternative Method that will work for the Definitive Edition.
Note that you may want to have Katie as a Girlfriend before doing this so you don't lose your Weapons when CJ is wasted.
This is the newer, optimized Method. You see how in the beginning, I go to this specific spot and parachute down to the Helipad where the Maverick is sitting. By doing this, you can get closer and have a much quicker and easier time shooting the Maverick off the Helipad. The old Method was the same, only that you would take a Maverick from the Airport and land on top of a higher building that was further away and from there you would shoot the Maverick off the Helipad all the same. This took TWICE the time because you were much further away! In fact, you can even get lucky and be QUICKER than I did to shoot it off the Helipad using this new and optimized Method!
After wasting CJ, make sure you confirm the AP/EC/EC2 Maverick by opening and closing the Garage BEFORE you save the game. If you were to save and reload without doing that, it would vanish.
This is the ultimate, and most superior AP Maverick to exist in the game because it's also EC/EC2. The only downside is, you need to waste CJ and fail the Mission to obtain it in such form. If that bothers you, you can always obtain it with PASSING the Mission and without the AP Properties as shown in this Video - youtube.com/watch?v=vNDlNcQvnRo - This is NOT easy. The wreck of the EC/EC2 Maverick loves vanishing, even when you look at it. You can just touch it with the Fire Truck and it could vanish right before your eyes long before you even reach the Garage!
Furthermore, there is another THREE (INFERIOR) AP Maverick's to exist in the game. Two with PASSING the Mission and one with FAILING the Mission. The very first one actually exists in "The Da Nang Thang" and you can obtain it with PASSING the Mission. It takes an annoyingly long time to obtain it, so I surely do NOT recommend obtaining it. In case you want to see it, here it is - youtube.com/watch?v=Q-q5WqoyfRw
The second AND third INFERIOR AP Maverick's both exist in the Mission "Misappropriation." One is obtained with PASSING the Mission and the other is obtained with FAILING the Mission. The one that is obtained by passing the Mission is very easy and recommended to obtain if you were to NOT obtain the AP/EC/EC2 Maverick and settle for just an EC/EC2 Maverick. Then you can at least have some kind of AP Maverick in your Save and you'd be saving a Wasted Stat and a Mission Attempt while you're at it! Here is the AP Maverick with Pass - youtube.com/watch?v=mPG-f7Y5v50 and here is the AP Maverick with Fail - youtube.com/watch?v=tktKHTx1aYI
The EC2 on the Maverick is VISIBLE. The Secondary Color is the Stripe of the Maverick.
Fun Fact - Obtaining this AP/EC/EC2 Maverick together with the EC Pony featured in this Mission at the same time is possible. After storing the Maverick, just go back and get the Pony and park it in the Garage, too. Then waste CJ all the same, and afterward, confirm both in the Garage. I don't do this because it's completely pointless and is not helping the Stats in any way, shape, or form. You have to still pass the Mission next, anyways, and you can easily do it and obtain the EC Pony, then. Plus, depending on how many Special Vehicles you would have in your Save at this stage of the game, you may not have room for the EC Pony and may have to leave it in memory until you unlock the Fort Carson Garage in The Desert.
