A starter or master save file will have all possible collectables, missions and odd jobs completed at the start of the game (usually after the first mission). This way the player can start the game in an upgraded state and/or enjoy the story without worrying about the extra content. This guide will list the requirements and any tips needed to create a starter save in GTA III.
 
 

Introduction

This is a short guide on how to create your own starter/master save for Grand Theft Auto III. While many of these saves are already online, the challenge of creating one of these saves is rewarding in its own right.
 
 
In GTA III, the missions Give Me Liberty and Luigi’s Girls need to be completed first before the player can freely explore Liberty City. In completing a starter/master save the player will have the following unlocked when they begin the story.
 

• Health, Adrenaline and Police Bribes at safe houses
• Unlimited Sprint
• All Weapons at safe houses
• The Borgnine Taxi

 

 
 
As a general note, these tasks should ideally be completed before the story is progressed. Following certain missions, the gangs will turn hostile towards Claude and in some cases with upgraded weapons, thus making many tasks harder.
 
 
This guide also applies for the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Edition version of Grand Theft Auto III
