It’s been nearly 20 years since the initial release of GTA: San Andreas and it would be fair to assume that veteran players have seen all there is to offer. However, thanks to the fantastic modding community on PC, there is plenty of life in this old dog yet such as brand-new missions.
Thanks to modder ‘Berony’, a brand new mission from the tool ‘DYOM’ (Design Your Own Mission) has been released. The new mission in question is the ‘San Fierro Police Dept. mod, which allows you to play Officer Jeffrey. “San Fierro Police Dept is a DYOM mission series in the world of GTA: San Andreas,” reads the description of the mod. “You play as Jeffrey, a police officer who tries to clean up San Fierro.” You can download the mod via moddb.com now.
