Time Stamps:

00:00 - Beginning "End of the Line" and fetching the Unique/BP/FP (Bullet Proof and Fire Proof) S.W.A.T. and parking it where you see in the Video before placing a few Satchel Charges on it
02:40 - Fetching a Rhino from the Ganton Garage and parking it near the S.W.A.T.
04:20 - Stomping the AP/EC2 (All Proof and Exclusive Secondary Color) Arctic White Greenwood Greenwood with a Parachute until it catches on fire and detonating the Satchel Charges to destroy the S.W.A.T.
05:05 - Shooting the Greenwood wreck and pushing the S.W.A.T. wreck back to the Garage
41:50 - Restoring both the S.W.A.T. and Greenwood in the Garage
44:05 - Proving the BP/FP and AP Properties and showing off the Unique/BP/FP S.W.A.T. and AP/EC2 Greenwood

This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, and Mobile since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. It does NOT work on the Definitive Edition due to the Sawn-Off Shotguns not being able to move wrecks that are glued to the ground.

Before you begin, you will need a few Satchel Charges, a Parachute, thousands of Sawn-Off Shotgun ammo, and a Rhino in the Ganton Garage. A Minigun can come in handy, as well. It's also advised to take over all the Gang Territories OR at least all the ones surrounding Grove Street so you're not dealing with annoying Ballas spawning around you and draining your health and armor from them shooting at you!

You DO NOT have to obtain both the S.W.A.T. and Greenwood at the same time. Obtaining both SEPARATELY is 500 times easier. Doing it like this will save you one Mission Attempt. That's it. And, if you did Burglary for Infinite Sprint, well, then, you didn't exactly save a Mission Attempt, now did you?

This is a monumental task and a LOT of RNG involved with it. What I mean by that and you can clearly see it in the Video is you begin to get shot at for no reason due to these stupid Riots going on at the time. The nightmare begins when you reach the staircase and need to get both the S.W.A.T. and Greenwood down the staircase. After getting both down the staircase, it gets a bit easier all the way back to the Garage. Then, that is where everything could go wrong, too. In this Video, I seemed to NOT have a problem with the S.W.A.T. vanishing when being pushed into the Garage, but it can happen and it happens often! The Greenwood can vanish very easily in the process, too!

***I highly recommend and suggest watching the OTHER Videos linked below. My Video uses Save States and is very sloppy for one. Their Videos do not and are much cleaner!***

   • GTA SA AP/EC2 Greenwood and Unique/BP...   - Part 1 and Part 2 -    • GTA SA AP/EC2 Greenwood and Unique/BP...   - This is the same Video and Method I show, only in TWO Parts. It does NOT use Save States and is actually quicker by about 15-20 minutes. He simply got very lucky and good RNG.

   • ap greenwood & bp/fp swat tank from e...   - This Method is OLD and LONGER, but, he does NOT use Save States. However, notice WHERE he's putting the S.W.A.T. in his Video compared to mine. Since he's recording this Video on PC and due to the better Draw Distance on PC, you can actually put the S.W.A.T. DOWN the staircase right away and blow it up there. In my Video, notice how mine is UP the staircase and closer to the Greenwood. If I put the S.W.A.T. any closer to the staircase, it vanishes right before my eyes the moment the Mission is failed for being "too far away." This is why his Video is shorter, basically, because he's doing less work. The hardest task about this Method (outside stuff vanishing AT the Garage at the very end) is getting the HEAVY S.W.A.T. down that staircase and if you're on PC, that isn't even a thing. Much easier on PC doing this.

The EC2 on this Greenwood is VISIBLE by the back end above the trunk.

Fun Fact - The Unique/BP/FP S.W.A.T. is Heavy. After entering it, you can experience this Property on your way back to a Garage. Unfortunately, it's unobtainable in such form. The Heavy Property is removed after the Garage closes down on it. The Heavy Property is only retainable by a Garage in GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories!

Fun Fact 2 - Any Police Vehicle that can activate Vigilante will acquire PP (Pop Proof) Tires! The PP Property is removed after you store it back inside of a Garage, but you can reapply the PP Property over and over.

Fun Fact 3 - This Greenwood appears in many Missions with varying Properties, however, in all cases, it's the same EC2 Greenwood that is always sitting in Grove Street if you didn't realize.

I am recording this Video on PCSX2 Version 1.6.0. Game Version is SLUS-20946 (Version 1.03) of GTA San Andreas for PS2.
