How To Liberate Regions Easier
Any Military Base
First make sure you have plenty of ammo and a safehouse near a military base. If you take over the base you would liberate 5X more than just liberating a town.

Taking Over Territories
Use the following trick when you are taking over a village with the guerrillas. Ignore most of the enemies and charge towards the roadblock the government has up. Destroy it using grenades, a rocket launcher, or timed explosives. Do this to each one, and the "Capture enemy flag" objective will soon appear. Run to it and press A to conquer that area. For other villages without roadblocks, such as the towns when a police car with a turret on the back appears, go in it. One of your teammates will also enter. Drive down street and your partner will kill everyone. Then, capture the flag when instructed. Do not open fire on anyone on your team or they will kill you.

Fall Without Chute
In the game demo or in real game, best if just after a checkpoint saved when in a helicopter as to have many chances at this stunt. When this is done make sure to destroy all turrets nearby so that you do not get shot out of the air. Move to a location above a road or sand (flat ground). Move higher in altitude until "you are leaving the mission area, turn around" is stated. Then jump from the helicopter. At a minimum of 15 feet from the ground, pull back on your left stick and head strait. When you land you will usually be damaged slightly but still alive and without a parachute!

Wheel Through Ground
On a Fukuda BlueBolt ( Road Bike)
Go to any city, find a Fukuda BlueBolt Motorbike and line it up with the road, start driving down the road and hold down (towards your self like you are trying to do a Wheelie) on the left thumbstick. The bike may go flying in the air with you or sometimes without you.
The explanation for this can be found when you shoot the rubber of the back wheel of the bike then preforming the above. The Metal part of the wheel goes through the ground and the road is placed down on the map in parts so when the back wheel hits these parts it will launch you upwards.
This can also happen in a fukuda Tornament (Rioja 02) and a Garret Paladin, the fastest car in the game at the Rioja 05 safehouse.

Floating Rico
West of map, oil rig
At the South West corner of the oil rig if you run next to the wall on the west side, it should come up with 'X; Climb down ladder' If you press it you can now climb down an invisible ladder to the water. It looks as if Rico is suspended in mid air

Invisible Grapples
When walking around with the grapple gun you may see that you auto-target thin air. If you fire it will just go through it, BUT BE CAREFUL! When driving past these whilst on top of the car, sometimes it says 'O; Jump to car' DON'T DO IT'. I did and you end up in the 'riding car' position in mid air, and you can't jump off or do anything, so I had to reset.
