00:00 - Wasting Tommy and failing "RC Raider Pickup" whilst obtaining the Unique RC Raider
07:00 - Showing off the Unique RC Raider
This Method will ONLY WORK on Android (not Version 1.10 and not iOS) and Definitive Edition because the RC Raider is nowhere to be found when you come back to the area once Tommy is wasted on other Platforms! This DOES NOT WORK on PS2, Xbox, PC, Android Version 1.10, or iOS! The RC Raider (Outside Garage Version) is obtainable, but you will be using a DIFFERENT Method on other Platforms and Versions! The reason why it doesn't work on Android Version 1.10 or iOS is because after saving and reloading, it'll vanish! To keep it on Android Version 1.10 or iOS, you must actually store it inside of a Garage! Save the game, reload your Save, and go to the Garage and open it TWICE. It's been confirmed that by doing this, you've now created a Unique/EP/EC Black RC Raider as a Trophy!
There is downsides to BOTH Methods for this particular RC Raider. One uses OM0 and leaves permanent Blips on your Radar. This Method doesn't use OM0 or leave permanent Blips, however, you still must waste Tommy in the process!
Since the INSIDE Garage Version of the RC Raider is obtainable using the other Method on the Definitive Edition, it's recommended to use THAT Method since you will NOT have to waste Tommy in the process and will be able to enter/exit the RC Raider after the fact. The only difference is it'll be stored in a Garage instead of on the Map where you last left it.
If you're obtaining the RC Raider on Android, the positioning of the random Vehicle in which spawns at the Leaf Links Safehouse will be closer to the wall. You can fly the RC Raider in between the Vehicle and the wall and teleport out and then save your game! I don't show this in the Video because apparently the positioning of the random Vehicle spawn was changed for Definitive Edition. Plus, once you teleport into the RC Raider just once, you can then exit and enter it normally since the game won't crash on the Definitive Edition!
After the Mission fails, be sure to continue to hold the accelerate button and ascend in the RC Raider. Without doing this, especially on the Definitive Edition, the RC Raider tends to not be there when you get back to the area!
It's advised to hold off with obtaining this RC Raider as long as possible! For instance, I heard reports of the RC Raider actually vanishing on people when they would cross Islands and come back later on! This is why you should just obtain it after 100% like the Video shows. Just save the game at the Safehouse, right next to the Marked RC Raider! Your chances of losing it will be slim to none at this point!
The RC Raider does NOT count as a Vehicle by a Garage and it's Marked. This is why it remains anywhere on your Map, even after saving/reloading as well as allowing you to enter as many other Vehicles in the process.
You absolutely MUST teleport IN and OUT of the RC Raider to prevent the game from crashing, unless you play on the Definitive Edition. Opening/Closing door aminations will NOT crash the game when playing on the Definitive Edition, but you STILL NEED TO teleport into the RC Raider the very first initial time for Tommy to enter it. Once he enters it, you can casually exit it, anywhere, anytime.
DO NOT PRESS the button to shoot a Weapon UNTIL Tommy has teleported into the RC Raider! Doing this before teleporting into the RC Raider will result in the game to crash!
Be careful when Tommy is near the RC Raider on foot BEFORE you teleport into it the very first time. If Tommy gets too close and touches the rotors, he'll be wasted and you'll have to try again!
As long as "RC Raider Pickup" has been passed at least once, failing it on the second or greater instance will not effect the Stats and you will not get an extra Mission Attempt.
