====Restricted Area (Area 69)==== | ====Restricted Area (Area 69)==== | ||
{{Main|Area 69}} | {{Main|Area 69}} | ||
Area 69 is a restricted, fenced-in military base, patterned after Area 51 and named for the 69 sex position. The base houses various clandestine government projects, including the "[[Black Project]]" [[jetpack]]. It may possibly house some projects involving UFOs and/or extraterrestrial life, as suggested by the presence of the nearby "[[Lil' Probe Inn]]" (a reference to the Lil' Ale Inn), dialog on the base's PA system during the "Black Project" mission, and by dialog on [[Marvin Trill|Marvin Trill's]] in-game radio show. | |||
Much of the base consists of underground research labs, although the player can only enter the labs during the course of one mission, or by finding a way into San Andreas' "[[Blue Hell]]", an area under the main terrain mesh, and finding the underground base there. The above-ground structures include a series of control towers, guard posts, and garages for military vehicles. These garages are the first area in the game in which tanks and military helicopters will automatically spawn. The player automatically receives a five-star wanted level for entering, attempting to enter, or flying over the base (at a low altitude); surface-to-air missiles will be fired at the player from the base if he attempts to fly over. The SAM sites which launch the missiles can be destroyed however, and if flying a [[Hydra]] aircraft, flare decoys can be deployed to reduce the likelihood of being shot down. | Much of the base consists of underground research labs, although the player can only enter the labs during the course of one mission, or by finding a way into San Andreas' "[[Blue Hell]]", an area under the main terrain mesh, and finding the underground base there.
