Portland Safehouse

Overview

The Portland Safehouse is Claude's first hideout in Grand Theft Auto III. It is a small hidden apartment in the Red Light District of Portland, close to Luigi's Sex Club 7, and it becomes available right after Give Me Liberty.

Saving and garage

Walking into the door saves the game and moves the clock forward. The garage holds one vehicle, so it is the place to keep a favourite car while Claude works the first island.

Weapons and pickups

Hidden Packages unlock free weapons at every safehouse, starting with a pistol at 10 packages. A baseball bat waits outside from the start of the game.

Tips

• Portland is the only island open at the start, so this is the only save point for the first part of the story.
• Keep an armoured or fast car in the garage before the war with the Triads and the Cartel heats up.
