* As soon as you receive a gun, try to master headshots. First auto aim, then move the right stick up a little bit; Niko will aim for the upper body/head instead of the stomach. Headshots are instant kills, so you'll save ammo (money) and kill enemies faster (keeping you alive) by learning to adjust your aim and go for headshots. Especially after you use receive the Assault Rifle and Carbine Rifle; holding the trigger for even a second will cause a spray of bullets that will guarantee a kill if aimed at the head.

* Shoot the legs! If you can't bring down an enemy by shooting them in the head, shoot 'em in the knees. They'll crumple to the ground and you can get more shots in on them. This is also a great tactic for fleeing enemies.

* This is very useful when delivering cars to either Stevie or to Brucie and also when having your own car. To do this, go to Niko's in-game cellphone go onto the cheat menu and activate the "DOC - Health" cheat. This is entered into the phone by dialing the number (362-555-0100) and from there on, it can be accessed through the phone's menu. This cheat will heal Niko to full health and also give him a new set of body armour. The health cheat will also repair a car which is where it comes in handy for doing the car delivery jobs and means you don't have to spend your hard-earned cash at a Pay 'n' Spray shop. Use this cheat at your own risk, as it will disable some trophies/achievements.

* Be careful. The pedestrians in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] are a lot more dangerous and unpredictable than previous games, and many of them are armed. If you bother them, accidentally bump them, aim a gun at them, start shooting, or cause them distress in anyway, some might run, some might call the police, or some might even start a fight with you. If you pull out a weapon, those packing heat will start shooting you without a care.

* The police in this game are much smarter, better shooters and more effective than in previous games. Expect to be swarmed even on 3 star wanted levels. Avoiding cop attention is a must, or they will put an end to your day quickly and painfully.
