"Swiss Army Strife" Trophy Guide - GTA San Andreas

This is a complete guide for the "Swiss Army Strife" trophy in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. It provides everything you need to know about reaching Hitman-level weapon skills.

You can check the current skill level of every weapon in the Stats menu, or use the Quick Stats menu to see the level of the weapon you’re holding.

Weapons have three skill levels: Poor, Gangster, and Hitman. Gangster allows firing while moving, and Hitman unlocks the ability to wield two weapons simultaneously. This applies to the Pistol, Sawn-off Shotgun, Tec-9, and Micro SMG.

Both Gangster and Hitman levels also improve lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire, and strafe speed. Note that the Tec-9 and Micro SMG share the same skill stat (Machine Pistol).

To boost your weapon skills efficiently, it’s recommended to complete the Ammu-Nation challenges first. They give a one-time skill boost for Pistols, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and AK-47s.

After completing missions like Doberman and Yay Ka-Boom-Boom, the remaining weapon challenges become available. However, there are alternative methods to improve weapon skills:

Park one or more vehicles inside CJ’s garage in Grove Street, Los Santos. Move away to close the garage door, then shoot the cars until they smoke or burn. Avoid blowing them up to prevent gaining a wanted level.

Repeat this process until all weapon skills reach Hitman level. If you’re not in a rush, completing the Homecoming mission allows you to take over turfs, providing ample enemies to maximize weapon skills safely.
