I just finished my first play through of gta 3 I love the style of gta 3 and I love to ride around and listen to radio and explore every inch but i hate the fact that i almost have to evade Portland because of Saint Mark's if im not driving bulletproof patriot. So my question is how can i make shotgun not deal so much damage when i drive through? I dont care whatever if its by changing config or mod or whatever it needs. It might seem like a weird question but it would be nice to drive through the place without needing to worry. Thank you in advance for any comments and help
