[QUOTE=control-z] Also, why is it so hard to actually kill someone? They keep twitching until I get bored of shooting them, I don’t know if they ever stop twitching. 😕 [/QUOTE] If you lock onto them and keep shooting them in the torso, they will take a while to kill. But use the left joystick while locked onto a target to get a headshot and they drop straight to the ground, no twitching. ---

[QUOTE=control-z] Empire State Building [/QUOTE] How do you get to the top? Maybe I’m just not very observant, but I couldn’t find a way into the building and I didn’t see a window washer’s lift on the side. Also, if anyone knows where I can find a helicopter, I’ve been looking on and off since I started playing this game, to no avail. ---

[/QUOTE] Southeast corner of the island, sticking out into the ocean, is a helicopter tour facility with four helicopters. You can either pay $150 to take the tour, or just walk up and hijack the helicopters. It should be on your map… ---

[/QUOTE] You gotta go all the way around the building. Several or all sides _look_ like they have an entrance, but only one side does, there’s a floating yellow chevron there signaling that you can go in. IIRC it’s the East side. ---

[QUOTE=Absolute] It should be on your map… [/QUOTE] :smack: Yes. Yes it is. Well, I did say I wasn’t too observant! Thanks for the tip, and thank you **control-z**.
