GTA 3 100% Complete Save file
Grand Theft Auto III (GTA 3)
Save File Overview
This save brings Liberty City to a full 100% completion state — every story mission and phone mission is done, so Claude's entire arc plays out start to finish with nothing left hanging. All 100 hidden packages are collected too, which on its own usually eats a huge chunk of playtime since they're scattered across all three islands. On top of that, every rampage is cleared, all the unique stunt jumps are landed, and the emergency vehicle "crane" missions — Vigilante, Firefighter, and Paramedic — are all finished out. Cash is sitting at the max, so you've got plenty to spend on weapons, armor, or just to mess around causing chaos without worrying about running dry. If you grew up with GTA 3 and want to revisit it with everything already unlocked, or you're chasing the 100% completion stat for nostalgia's sake without redoing the package hunt, this save hands it all to you ready-made. Just load it up and Liberty City is yours, fully wrapped, ready for whatever kind of mayhem you're in the mood for.
Game Version & Compatibility
Version: PC — Steam version and original disc/Rockstar Games Launcher releases (compatible with most re-releases)
Progress: 100% Completed / All Missions, Hidden Packages, Rampages & Stunt Jumps Done
File Size: 70 KB
GTA 3 is an old game, and its save format has stayed pretty much identical across the various re-releases over the years — the Steam version, older retail discs, and the Rockstar Games Launcher copies all use the same basic save structure. That's good news for compatibility since this save should drop into pretty much any modern PC version without issue. The one thing to watch for is folder location, since different releases sometimes store saves in different spots — some use a folder inside the install directory, others use a "GTA3 User Files" folder in Documents. If the path listed below doesn't exist on your system, check your install directory directly for a folder simply named "user files" or similar, since older installs sometimes default there instead of Documents.
Save Location Guide
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\GTA3 User Files\For most modern installs (Steam included), GTA 3 saves land in your Documents folder under a "GTA3 User Files" directory, which makes this one a bit easier than the AppData-buried saves some other games use. Open File Explorer, click into Documents, and look for the GTA3 User Files folder. If it's not there, that usually means the game hasn't created its save directory yet — launch the game once, save manually anywhere in-game (even just a quick save near a hideout), then exit and check Documents again. If you're running an older retail install or a repack version that doesn't use Documents, check the game's install folder directly instead — sometimes older setups keep a "user files" or "saves" folder right alongside the game's executable. Either way, once you find the right folder, that's where the save files (usually small, just a few hundred KB) will sit.
Installation Steps
Step 1
You need to close Grand Theft Auto 3 if it is running. You also need to exit Steam or the Rockstar Games Launcher if you are using cloud saves through either of these.
Step 2
Download the file
Step 3
Then you need to put these files into your GTA3 User Files folder. If this does not work for your version you need to put the files into the user files or saves folder in your Grand Theft Auto 3 installation directory.
Step 4
you need to launch Grand Theft Auto 3. Then you need to go to Load Game from the menu. Pick the game slot where you put the save files.
Step 5
Now you need to check the stats screen, in Grand Theft Auto 3 to make sure it says 100 percent. You need to check this to confirm that the Grand Theft Auto 3 save files were installed correctly.
Backup & Safety Notes
Even though GTA 3 saves are tiny, back them up anyway — it takes two seconds and means you've always got a way back to your original progress. Copy your existing GTA3 User Files folder (or whichever folder applies to your install) to your desktop before adding anything new. This is especially worth doing if you've got an old save with sentimental value, like a long-running playthrough from years back. Once it's overwritten, it's gone for good unless you've got that backup. Also worth a mention: if you're running GTA 3 through a repack or a heavily modded install, some mods change the save format slightly, and dropping in a vanilla 100% save on a modded setup can occasionally cause glitches or missing stats on the pause menu. If that happens, your backup is the quick way back to a working state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this save carry over to the mobile or console releases of GTA 3?
No, this save is built for the PC version's save format. Mobile and console versions use entirely different save systems and aren't compatible with PC save files.
I can't find a GTA3 User Files folder anywhere — what do I do?
Launch the game first and create any save manually, even a quick one. This forces the game to generate its save directory, after which the folder should appear in Documents (or your install folder, depending on version).
Does 100% completion include the special vehicles like the Banshee or Bobcat from missions?
Mission-reward vehicles spawn based on game progress rather than save data directly, but since all related missions are complete, those vehicle spawns and unlocks tied to story progress are active.
My save loads but shows less than 100% — why?
Double-check you copied the save into the correct numbered slot and that you're loading that exact slot from the menu. Also confirm your game version matches a standard PC release rather than a heavily modified repack.
Is it safe to keep playing and saving over this file afterward?
Yes, it's a normal save — keep playing, overwrite it with new saves as you go, no restrictions on continuing from this point.
Summary
And there it is — Liberty City at a full 100%, every package found, every rampage and stunt jump done, story and phone missions wrapped, and your wallet maxed out. For a game this old, getting back to a fully completed state from scratch is a serious time investment, so this save just skips straight to the good part. Grab a quick copy of your existing saves first — takes two seconds — then drop this file into your GTA3 User Files folder and you're set. Whether you're revisiting GTA 3 for nostalgia, want to mess around with max cash and nothing left to grind, or just lost an old save and want your completion back, this gets the job done fast.
