10 Video Game Hard Modes Hidden Behind Unique Challenges

In the final act of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, the entire city of Los Santos becomes a burning mess of riots and police raids that make even crossing a single street a near-death experience. The shift is meant to signify the finality of CJ’s fight against his enemies and provide an extra challenge in the last few missions in the game.

Now imagine how terrible it would be to play through the entire game in this state.

Well, as it turns out, this is actually possible with a special mode that you can activate using the “STATEOFEMERGENCY” cheat code.

The mode enables the epilogue riots permanently, turning every civilian hostile and making police and military attacks frequent. Playing the game turns into a brand new challenge at this point as you try to complete missions while simultaneously dodging incoming attacks from angry pedestrians and officers.

It’s a fun secret that adds some spice to your gameplay whenever you feel like the criminal life in Los Santos isn’t chaotic and difficult enough.

And if you want to make this mode even harder, you can use another cheat code to give all pedestrians rocket launchers!
