00:00 - Wasting CJ and failing "Stowaway" whilst obtaining the Unique Andromada
09:15 - Showing off the Unique Andromada
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Mobile, and Definitive Edition since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. You must be fully updated when playing on Mobile in order to obtain it. If not, the game will crash when you try and push it into the Hanger. It's unknown if this Method works or not on Xbox and PC. In theory, it should, but nobody to date has ever confirmed this Method working on those Platforms using such Method.
Before you begin, you're going to need a Minigun so you can destroy the Andromada as quickly and as soon as possible. You'll also need a Rhino inside of your Hanger. You can steal one inside of Area 69. Having as low health as possible is a good idea, as well.
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.
I have shown some minor optimizations in the Video, like placing a Satchel Charge on the Rhino BEFORE pushing the wreck of the Andromada into the Hanger. This will save you a LOT of time when you exit the Rhino and have to waste CJ all before the wreck of the Andromada vanishes! I also use different camera modes so I can see underneath the Andromada and see where I am pushing it.
Be careful not to touch the back end of the Andromada where the ramp is located. By doing that, you can still activate the Cutscene and trigger the next part of the Mission and that will mean reloading and trying again.
You can have the DP Leviathan and EC/EC2 Maverick inside of the Hanger before obtaining the Unique Andromada. Just make sure both of them are as far back as possible and all the way to the right and left sides of the Hanger's wall so there will be plenty of space to push the wreck of the Andromada into there and restore it successfully.
You CAN take the Andromada out of the Hanger and fly it around. Just make sure it's as far into the back of the Hanger as possible as well as straight as possible and centered. Then just accelerate forward and if you're lucky enough, the Andromada will do a wheelie (this is caused by the tail slamming into the top of the Hanger) and come out of the Hanger without blowing up. You'll have to quickly press the brakes before driving directly into the small building, though. Then just slowly center it onto the runway and you can take off and fly it away. Just know that in most cases, it's going to be severely damaged and not fly all that great.
There's an alternative way to obtain the Unique Andromada, but it requires OM0 and since it requires holding a Call, I am pretty sure it would NOT WORK on Mobile and the Definitive Edition. Though, if you're someone playing on Xbox and/or PC and can't seem to get this classic Method to work, you can use the OM0 Method instead. Just know that once you obtain it with OM0, you can't exactly store it (without blowing it up) and would have to use the OM0 AP Conversion immediately and convert the Andromada into AP form. You can store it inside of the Hanger after it's AP without any problems. See that here - youtube.com/watch?v=iHfN6stqgCg and youtube.com/watch?v=GcOki9reoSg
Fun Fact - The Black Bobcat's you see in the Mission are NOT SPECIAL since you can drive any Bobcat from traffic into a Mod Garage and make one Black.
Fun Fact 2 - Later on during the Mission, the Andromada is actually AP (All Proof), but when it has these Properties, it's not possible to obtain it. Only by using the AP Conversion on the Andromada can you re-recreate the Unique/AP Andromada from the Mission.
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.
