00:00 - Wasting Tommy and failing "RC Bandit Race" whilst obtaining the Unique/EC/EC2 (Exclusive Color and Exclusive Secondary Color) Midnight Blue and White RC Bandit
03:00 - Showing off the Unique/EC/EC2 RC Bandit
This Method will ONLY WORK on Android (not Version 1.10 and not iOS) and Definitive Edition because the RC Bandit 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 Bandit (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/EC2 Black RC Bandit as a Trophy!
But how do you obtain the Unique/EC/EC2 Midnight Blue and White RC Bandit on Android Version 1.10 and iOS when it's UNMARKED and able to be stored in a Garage? Like this - youtube.com/watch?v=Q2f1VlLyKAY
If you're playing the Definitive Edition, after obtaining the RC Bandit and saving/reloading, it'll be converted into a Traffic Default Colored RC Bandit and will NOT be EC/EC2 anymore! The only way to retain the EC/EC2 Midnight Blue and White Colors is by unmarking the RC Bandit with using "The Party" and driving it into the Pink Marker at the dock. After, you also HAVE TO store it inside of a Garage, too.
There is downsides to BOTH Methods for this particular RC Bandit. 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!
If you're obtaining the RC Bandit on Android, the positioning of the random Vehicle in which spawns at the Leaf Links Safehouse will be closer to the wall. You can drive the RC Bandit 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 Bandit just once, you can then exit and enter it normally since the game won't crash on the Definitive Edition!
It's advised to hold off with obtaining this RC Bandit as long as possible! For instance, I heard reports of the RC Bandit 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 Bandit! Your chances of losing it will be slim to none at this point!
The RC Bandit 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 Bandit 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 Bandit 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 Bandit! Doing this before teleporting into the RC Bandit will result in the game to crash!
As long as "RC Bandit Race" 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.
Fun Fact - The RC Bandit is surely EC/EC2 (Exclusive Color and Exclusive Secondary Color) because if you were to drive ANY RC Bandit into a Pay and Spray, it would only shoot out Traffic Default Colors assigned to the RC Bandit in Carcols.dat. If you were to drive this RC Bandit into a Pay and Spray, you could never get the original Colors back!
Fun Fact 2 - Using this Method, you can take it one step further and actually convert this RC Bandit into a Unique/EC/EC2 Black RC Bandit if you'd like. See how it's done here - youtube.com/watch?v=l4ssaqj9Rcc
I am recording this Video on the Definitive Edition. Game Version is Version 1.01 of GTA Vice City for PC.
