Time Stamps:
00:00 - Beginning "Badlands A" and driving to the location shown in the Video
01:45 - Waiting for the BP/EP/FP/MP/EC2 (Bullet Proof, Explosion Proof, Fire Proof, Melee Proof, and Exclusive Secondary Color) Vermilion Solid Fortune to get closer to the location and pushing it into the water
02:00 - Getting the Fortune to respawn back on land and then using the Parachute on it to blow it up
04:35 - Finding a Tanker and pushing the Fortune's Wreck back to the Palomino Creek Garage to restore it
36:00 - Proving the BP/EP/FP/MP Properties and showing off the BP/EP/FP/MP/EC2 Fortune
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, Mobile, and Definitive Edition since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. With that said, the Method is more designed for the Definitive Edition since this is the ONLY WAY it works. For whatever reason, your OWN Vehicle (unless you get out and then back in) as well as the Opponent's Vehicles are LOCKED to Grove Street Gang Members. You simply cannot use them or that Method to obtain any Race Vehicle on the Definitive Edition.
I am not sure if I simply got unlucky and the Fortune just disappeared as the Garage was closing down on it, BUT, I've actually experimented with a much SHORTER Method to obtain the Fortune. Sometimes, right when the Race begins, you can get ahead of the Fortune and turn in front of it making it drive straight into the barn. You can trap it there. Then, just run into the front tire (same as BP/EP/FP/MP Patriot Method 2) of the Fortune which will cause damage and cause it to blow up eventually. Then, using your own Vehicle you can push the Wreck back to the Garage, which is now much CLOSER THAN where you begin in this Video. When I tried this Method, the Fortune just wasn't in the Garage when I opened it up again. Not sure if it just vanished, or if pushing this Fortune into the water prior to all of this has anything to do with it restoring in the Garage. If the Barn Method actually works, you can save about 15-20 minutes or so in the process.
You can't use a Tractor from traffic to tow the Fortune back to a Garage. I tried that, too.
After pushing the Fortune into the water, keep the camera on the area for a few moments, then look away like I show in the Video, and then look back. It should respawn and be driving VERY SLOWLY. If it's not there, or driving fast, then retry.
Be very careful when you enter Vehicles on the Definitive Edition. Even when you're looking directly at a Wreck and then enter a Vehicle, the camera can take the vision OFF the Wreck and have it vanish! What I mean is what happens the second I enter the Tanker in this very Video. The camera just zooms off what I was looking at. Surprised the Wreck was still there, in fact, since it usually vanishes in a split second!
Note that this Mission is actually "Wu Zi Mu." The Fortune is obtainable during the actual Mission, but it would cost a Mission Failure! Obtaining it AFTER all the Races are complete is the way to go because you won't get any added Mission Attempts to the Stats and can conserve valuable storage space early on when you're in The Country portion of the Story.
There is actually FIVE other Race Vehicles that are rather valuable and you should consider obtaining them. ALL Vehicles found in Races are FP. They are the FP/EC2 Vermilion Solid Stallion, FP/EC2 Vermilion Solid Sabre, FP/EC2 Vermilion Solid Sultan, FP/EC2 Vermilion Solid ZR-350, and EC2 Black ZR-350 found in "Badlands A" and "Badlands B." Since the Methods are identical to what I show for the Fortune, I will just link Videos showing these other Race Vehicles instead of recording them myself. FP/EC2 Stallion/Sabre - youtube.com/watch?v=AThJDrapPsw and FP/EC2 Sultan/ZR-350/EC2 ZR-350 - youtube.com/watch?v=urbMQvewOiA
The EC2 on this Fortune can not be seen in-game and can only be seen when viewing your Save File under a Save Editor. Visually in-game, it will look like any ordinary Fortune.
I am recording this Video on the Definitive Edition. Game Version is Version 1.01 of GTA San Andreas for PC.
