Vortex: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Vortex-SA.jpg|thumb|The Vortex]]

The '''Vortex''' is a single-seater drivable hovercraft in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], which is able to move on land and water and glide short distances. Steering is difficult because it has a fan with a rudder rather than wheels or a rudder in the water. If it is abandoned in the water it will sink. If it sustains too much damage or is shot too many times, despite its small size, it will explode quite violently, similar to an aircraft explosion. It is possible to fly the Vortex for a short period of time, after driving off of a high place while using the 'better driving skills' cheat. It is also used for two tests in [[Boat School]], which can be accessed in [[Bayside Marina]].

The Vortex can be spawned with a [[Cheats#GTA_San_Andreas|cheat]].

*According to the game's files, the Vortex is considered an aircraft rather than a boat or a car. Because of this, the player would get attacked by [[SAM]] missiles for driving it near [[Area 69]], and [[Hydra|Hydras]] will attempt to shoot the player down at a four-star wanted level. Additionally, regular [[Police Maverick]]s will not shoot the player.

*The Vortex plays the radio station, [[Radio X]], by default when entered.

* If the player play the missions [[Cut Throat Business]], and attaches a few satchels to Madd Dogg, and then head over to the video shoot without him, then three Vortexes will spawn, two white one, and a black and white one, all with unique colors, and are industructible, just kill Madd Dogg with the satchels, and pick one of them and save them in the safehouse.
