Surface-to-Air Missile: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:37, 16 February 2008

The Surface to Air Missle system, or SAM, is an unmanned guided weapon system in GTA San Andreas.

If the player flies an aircraft over the Area 69 military base, which is a no-fly zone, he will obtain an instant wanted level of 5 stars. When this happens, several heat-seeking SAM missiles will fire at the player from three launchers around the base.

The missiles are also launched if the player uses the Jetpack to fly over the base. A single hit from one of these missiles will destroy the aircraft and kill the player, unless he ejects first.

The launchers can be temporarily destroyed; but will respawn once the player is far enough.

The Hydra's secondary fire launches countermeasures (flares) that deter the missiles if used at the right time.

-The SAM system, which stands for '''Surface to Air Missle''', is a new unmanned weapon system that appeared in Grand Theft Auto: [[San Andreas]]. Unfortunately it cannot be used by the player, and is rather used against him/her. They are found on [[Area 69]] on San Andreas and will fire guided missles at any plane or helicopter or jetpack that flies over the base. The launchers can be temporarily destroyed; and will respawn once the player is far enough. Caution must be taken when flying over these as they will take down any helicopter; and all but the fastest planes. The [[Hydra]] can launch countermeasures (flares) that can deter the missles.
