1.0 Introduction
Right then, with that out the way let me introduce myself. I am
Psychotic34(no not literally, except on Vice City...)<--- that joke worked
better with the name I orignally wanted, which was Psychotic, but someone
already had it(I wrote this before I signed up) so I put my lucky number
on the end. Anyway, this is my first FAQ/Walkthrough, yay! Anyway,
welcome to Vice City, nice place full of criminals. It's pretty similar
to GTA3 but there are some differences, as I'm sure you'll discover. I
am aiming to make this a definitive guide for Vice City, and with 0.8
I feel as though I am nearly there. I will try to have an informal writing
style(unlike that last sentence) but I don't know why I think it's a
good idea. Oh well, maybe I'll find out one day.In case you are wondering,
I'm from the UK (like Kent Paul, only I don't talk like him!)Other FAQs
by me, are currently, non-existant! See you for the next GTA Game, or
possibly FFX-2 is a game I could do one for.I am currently doing a
The Getaway Vehicles Guide, so look out for that, won't you?
OK, that was updated with 0.8, but now I am on 1.3, and I am slowly
obtaining perfection, which is nice, I guess! I get lots of submissions
and questions each day, so It's hard to want to end this thing.

*If you want to E-mail me any questions I would be very happy to recieve
them and will try to include as many as I can Just have the title of your
email "Vice City" or something similar.I will try to reply to every E-mail,
and I have so far.
Please note, I am no longer accepting any more submissions to the guide,
for this will be the last update EVER :( See you in San Andreas!(or
wherever the next game is!)
No Chain-Mails, Viruses etc please!(Not that anyone listens, I get loads
of Viruses every day. Well, the most I've had in one day is 3, but I
think all the ones I've been sent is from a worm)
Or indeed crazy E-mails about me stealing certain items, you know who
you are.......
**************************************************************************
1.1 Version History
0.1 11/16/02 The first version, added most things
102 kb
0.5 11/19/02 Added Car Stats, more secrets. Also more user-submitted
things, and made it more friendly to people with small monitors. Gang
and character profiles, Vehicle Missions, Sunshine Autos.
122kb
0.6 11/23/02 Added:Radio Stations, Most Unique Jumps, Robbable Stores,
Good places to fight the Police and User Submitted Keep Your Friends
Close Strategy
142kb
0.8 11/30/02 Man this was a big (and tiring) update. I finally completed
the Unique Jumps Section, I started(and finished) the rampages section,
added a lot more secrets, glitches section, challenges, fun things, good
places to fight the Police and Alternate Mission Strategies for a couple
of missions. Oh and I did 20 Hidden Package Locations, Whew! The things
I do for you people
200kb
1.0 12/06/02 Well, I guess this is the first full version, as it contains
everything I planned the guide would, now that I have finally done all
of the hidden package locations. There is also many more secrets, fun
things, challenges, places to fight the cops etc. Also, my friend had
the idea of adding custom missions(Thanks Ryan!) so I am going to add
some!
244kb
1.1 12/08/02 Overhauled the vehicles section, got E-Mailed 50 million times
by Iwan Best(maybe not THAT much) so added a great many things to the secrets
section. Doesn't seem like much has been added in terms of file size, but
trust me, it has! I was also E-mailed by many other people, so look at The
Job, Glitches, Secrets - other, fun things to do, custom missions. This
update was kinda neccessary as I have been E-mailed so many times this week,
and a lot of my E-mails have been about Glitches, hmmmm. There is an
outside possibilty that this will be the last but two update, but that is
merely a possibility, I guess I could leave it open to adjustment permanently
and never have a Final version. The next version will have more descriptive
measures on how to finish the checkpoint missions, and then the one after
that will just be a massive user-submitted compilation. I will give about 3
weeks for people to E-mail me their submissions, and I will add a great many
Challenges, Fun Things, Fun Places to fight the Police and Custom Missions.
But I guess I will leave it open for editing, as I'm sure that
a) I will get many E-mails anyway
b) some kind of new secret like the Ghost Town(But NOT the Ghost Town I
hasten to add)
Anyway, that's my two cents, but no-one reads this bit anyway, do they!?
269kb (25kb more, it ain't that bad I guess)
1.2 12/29/02 Lazy, I am! I got a lot of user-submitted stuff, So I added it
all to the guide, So that I didn't disappoint all those people!
280kb
1.3 01/01/03 Happy New Year! and all that. OK, I added an in-depth bit
to the vehicle missions bit (Spent 2 hours of new years day doing it whilst
writing in a notebook in blue pen (which ran out after 3 words) a green
pencil, a purple pencil and a brown pencil(because leads kept on snapping)
all of the checkpoints on lots of missions, so yeesh I am worn out I guess.
I added a couple of cars to the vehicles (well actually it was a Bus, an
RC Car and an RC Chopper) Also 4 more custom missions, and also the standard
secrets, Glitches, Fun Places, Challenges and Fun Things to do. Also a couple
more unconfirmed cheats. And now the guide is over 300kb! yahoo! This
was written before I completed this version, so now I can also add that I
added 3 vehicles(Or is it 4? ah well) to that section, and a few more
questions in the FAQ. This could be my last update in a while, don't wait
up for me! I'm planning a The Getaway Vehicles Guide. So look out for it!
312kb
FINAL 01/18/03 :( It's the end of an era, but I'll come to that in a
minute. I added the usual secrets, challenges, custom missions, fun places
etc. And now, my Getaway vehicles guide is up, please check it out at
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/getaway_vehicles.txt
And now, I will get what I typed at the bottom of this FAQ/Walkthrough,
and you can read it and then wait with baited breath for the next GTA
FAQ/Walkthrough!
It started on the 6th of November 2002, and now it has ended, on the 18th
of January 2003.
It's been fun, but now I am leaving Vice City(in ruins, heh!).
See you in San Andreas!(or wherever R* want to take me!)I am no longer
needed here.

1.3 The Law
When you do something naughty, and especially if a cop is there
when you do it, your wanted level will go up. This is measured in a
series of stars:
One Star
What Can I expect?:Cops will just come up to you and beat you up
with nightsticks, nothing major
How do I get rid of em?:Run like hell, change outfit, use a police
bribe or use a respray shop
How do I deal with them?:However you like! these guys can be taken
out in any way
Two Stars
What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you.
Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick
How Do I get rid of em?:Run like hell, change outfit, 2 police
bribes or use a respray shop
How do I deal with them?:Shoot them, Shoot them ALL!
Three Stars
What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you. Any
Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick, The Cops
Cops will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your tires
(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at you,
heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and shoot
you, and undercover cops pull up in Cheetahs.
How Do I get rid of em?: Respray shop is your only way out now,
unless you are lucky enough to get 3 police bribes
How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt
Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on
the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before
they hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher
or run back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with
the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade
shot.
Four Stars
What Can I Expect?:Two cops in each car pull up and shoot at you. Any
Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the nightstick, The
SWAT teams will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst your
tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot at
you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and
shoot you, and undercover cops pull up in Cheetahs.Oh and very
"friendly" SWAT Teams will show up in their Enforcer vans.
How Do I get rid of em?:Respray.4 police Bribes
How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt
Python or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on
the pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they
hit the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run
back a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the
PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot.
As for the SWAT teams, Use a gun that packs a punch.
Five Stars
What Can I Expect?:Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the
nightstick,The FBI will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to burst
your tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and shoot
at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter and
shoot you, any of the above which is still there will still be after you,
and FBI teams armed with MP5s will show up in FBI Ranchers
How Do I get rid of em?:Get to a respray shop, FAST or 5 police
bribes.
How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python
or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the
pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit
the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run back
a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or
Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot.As for the
FBI, I'd use something that can take them out QUICKLY, like a Flame
Thrower, but you'd do well to blow up their cars before they get out.
Six Stars
What Can I Expect?:Any Cop on the streets will now shoot and not use the
nightstick, The Army will now use Road Blocks and deploy stingers to
burst your tires(if you're in a car that is), A helicopter will come and
shoot at you, heavily armed men will slide down ropes from the helicopter
and shoot you, any of the above which is still there will still be after
you, and The Army show up in Rhino Tanks or Barracks OLs.
How Do I get rid of em?:Respray, 6 police bribes
How do I deal with them?:OK, Shoot all cops(preferably with a Colt Python
or a Shotgun), Drive around roadblocks and stingers by going on the
pavement, shoot those men that come from the helicopter before they hit
the ground, and shoot the helicopter with a Rocket Launcher, or run back
a little bit so you cansee it's windscreen, and fire with the PSG-1 or
Sniper Rifle into there, or try for a lucky rotor blade shot.The Army?
Colt Python and SPAS-12 Shotgun do well, but blowing up their vehicles before
they can get out is good, but with one problem:The tanks will survive
anything you have to throw at it, then again, that is fairly inaccurate
as you can use the FlameTHROWer and you can THROW Molotov Cocktails at
them. They are the ONLY things that will hurt a Tank, yes even Rocket
Launchers and Mini-Guns don't affect this metal monstrosity.
**************************************************************************
1.4 Powerups

Shield Icon:Restores Body Armour to max
Skull:Rampage

Ok, these aren't really a gang, they are in fact any group of people who
aren't in any of the formentioned gangs(with an exception, I'll come to that
in a min) and hang around together.
The three most common places where you are likely to find "Streetwannabes" are
- The Army! yes, although previosuly mentioned they come under streetwannabes
if you kill them. NOTE:Fort Baxter Army only
- "The streetwannabes are the guys with the leather jackets who hang around
the mall"
Thanks to PuNkBoY2000182 for that
- The guys in Phnom Penh '86 are streetwannabes
- Also, DPB Security ?!?!?!!?!? Well, maybe, I can't be bothered to kill
enough, and trust me, I need to kill a LOT to get level with just the
Vercetti Gang(yeah, I kill loads of my own men) Let alone the Haitians
(I have probably killed around 500 Haitians!!)
**************************************************************************
1.7 Radio Station Info
So, what radio stations do I listen to? well, if you really want to know:
(in order of preference)
1) VRock - I love all songs on it, other than the two Love Fist ones.
2) VCPR - Every conversation is funny!
3) K-Chat - Only Mr. Zoo is funny.
4) Flash FM, if Video Killed the Radio Star and Japanes Boy are on(Because
they are so cheesy, they are good!)
5) Emotion - but only for Fernando! I think I listened to 1 minute of a song
on there, and that's it. If I'm flicking through and hear Fernando, then I'll
listen until the song.
6) Wildstyle - I occasionally listen to it, not often
7) Fever - Last night a DJ Saved my life! well, thats the only one I think is
*OK* I don't think it's that good a song
8) Esperantoso - No.Just no. But it does feature the guy that made an Anti-Mr
Burns song on the Simpsons! (You know, when he gets shot and there's all the
suspects, he's the music teacher Lisa wants) Unfortunately, he doesn't sing
it, that would definately save Esperantoso from mediocrity, making it poor
rather than pathetic.
But this is all opinion, one person I know likes Wildstyle, another likes
Flash. That's just the way it goes.

1.8 How to Actually Play Vice City
No, this isn't controls
The Main idea of the game in my opinion anyway, is to make as much money
as you possibly can. You need money for a lot of things in this game, and
after you complete the game is the best time to go on the rampage. If
you've just left Liberty City, here are some new stuff Vice has:
- Motorbikes - only go on these to look cool, do stuff like wheelies or
attempt insane jumps. You lose a lot of health from crashing bikes, and
frankly they aren't worth the risk
- Helicopters - Helicopters are a great way to get around, as you avoid
all the traffic and you can take a more direct route rather than taking
the roads. The only problem is avoid crashing into buildings AT ALL COSTS
as once those rotor blades start scraping the sides of the buildings, the
Choppers going to be a flaming mess and there'll be only one way out.
to Jump.
- Boats now appear like random traffic, which is much better because in
Liberty you were the only one on the water
- Weapons. There are a HELL of a lot more weapons(See weapons guide) but
don't worry, all your old favourites are still availiable. The main thing
is, you can only carry one of each type, but see the Weapons section for
a lot more detail
- Car Damage. You can now shoot people through the windows of their cars,
because frankly shooting the windscreen in GTA3 and having nothing happen
was very unrealistic, especially if you did it to a convertible. Also, tires
can be popped which again is a good step towards realism. Another thing
is that cars are now damaged by ALL weapons, as again, hitting cars with
bats in GTAIII did nothing, and was extremely annoying
- You can now enter quite a few buildings, which is fun because you can
now hold up stores
- You have to buy businesses and hideouts, as you are only given two
hideouts throughout the game
I think these are the main changes. As for money, the only major way of
getting it is by doing missions, either story missions, getting assets
from your businesses or R3 missions, and EVERY mission is covered in this
guide. Sure, there are other ways of getting money, such as Holding up
stores, Driving Buses, Smashing Parking meters and killing people but
you don't really get enough money for doing those things. I'd only
reccomend doing those kind of things for fun. Stick to completing all
the missions first, as the game isn't as fun if you only have half the
city, vehicles and weapons to play with, then just sit back, and cruise
Vice City in your Sports Car at night, listening to VRock. Or just go
crazy and kill everyone and thing in site! The thing that has made the
GTA games so popular, is that they are non-linear, and combine many genres
so you can do whatever you want, Vice City takes everything good out of
each game. But anyway, that's enough of listening to me, we'd best get
on with the guide. And first up, it's all about those things that lighten
up Vice City(No, Not the Hookers.....) it's the Weapons!
**************************************************************************
2.0 Weapons
You Can only carry 8 weapons at a time:One fist weapon, one Melee
Weapon, one Pistol Weapon, one Sub-Machine Gun Weapon, one Shotgun
Weapon, one Heavy Machine Gun Weapon, one Explosive Weapon and one
Heavy Weapon.
As for my personal recommendations, I'd say:
Fist:Brass Knuckles
Melee:Chainsaw
Pistol:Colt Python
Sub-Machine Gun:MP5
Shotgun:SPAS-12 Shotgun
Heavy Machine Gun:M4
Rifle:PSG-1
Explosive:Anything other than Nerve Gas(make your own choice, I use
grenades)
Heavy Weapon:Anything other than the M60(Make your own choice, I use
the Rocket Launcher)
The Cool thing is, if you want to store any weapons then just enter either
Leaf Links or The Airport Terminal, then not pick them up outside! They
Stay there!
Weapons below are listed in my ranking, from worst to best IN EACH
CATEGORY, NOT OVERALL. Because in my opinion, the Brass
Knuckles are better than the Screwdriver, yet they are in different
categories.The categories are kinda listed in weakest to best, but
Explosives aren't really all that good.

2.9 Heavy Weapons
I had an angry person(sorry, I really can't remember your name) tell me

preference but I can't see the point if you have an M4.
M60
Description:Big Machine Gun

Vs People:I see dead people.
Vs Vehicles:heh heh

- Points:IF only it could shoot choppers
Wait just a minute! I have been informed by Ryan that if
you aim just under a chopper, you will then see the bullets
fly up and hit the thing! So, we need a new bad point. Hmmm, I
haven't yet tested the Mini-Gun vs Chopper thing yet, but I believe
what I have been told, but what I am wondering is that what if the
Mini-Gun has the same effect on choppers as the M4 has?(Ie 0) oh
and it is extremely weak against tanks, and there is no auto-aim
I have also been told by Matt Pinske about this, but he has tested
it and found it works with all weapons! but obviously Mini-Guns work
the best!
and Verizoton E-mailed me about this too, so everyone, I have been
told 3 times how stupid I am(not literally :) ) so don't tell me
again!
Flamethrower

it is by now.
Where Do I find It?:RockStar Logo-Shaped Pool on Starfish Island,
also one in Viceport.
Vs People:Burn them, burn them ALL
Vs Vehicles:Even kills tanks
+ Points:It kills everyone, including tanks(which is the only reason
why I rank it better than the Mini-Gun), it goes through walls, wide
area of effect.
- Points:No auto-aim, Using it on someone at close range is
incredibly stupid.
Rocket Launcher
Description:It Launches rockets, and has been in every GTA Game
Where Do I find It?:Phil Cassidy's Trailer, ($8000)
Vs People:How does that Slayer Song on VRock go again, oh yeah, RAINING
BLOOD! (I always thought it was reign in blood, perhaps my album is
wrong. Anyway, listen out for it on VRock.)<My changed thanks to Iwan
Best, I guess he must be searching the whole thing for errors. Trust me,
I make LOADS Iwan, but for some reason I always see them)
Vs Vehicles:BOOM! Including Choppers, but not Tanks for some strange
reason.
+ Points:BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! Oh yeah BOOM! and it takes out
helicopters in one hit
- Points:Slow, and you are often caught in it's blast
**************************************************************************
3.0 Compulsory walkthrough
These are the missions you need to do in order to unlock the last
mission of story mode which will show the credits afterwards. NOTE:
You will also need to have completed 5 asset missions as well as the
Print Works missions.
**************************************************************************
3.1 Ken Rosenburg
I an Old Friend,
After the drug deal gets screwed up, Tommy tells Ken to get some
sleep. Meanwhile, Tommy decides to go to the Hotel. Get in the white
car next to you, or alternatively get on the moped next to you if
you want to try out some of the new bikes. Then, head towards the pink
blip on your radar then head inside the hotel, at up the stairs. Tommy
will phone Sonny and tell him about the failed drug deal. Tommy tells
Sonny he will get the drugs and money back.
II The Party
Ken Rosenburg then remembers the guy who helped him set up the Deal,
Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez, who just so happens to be having a party
on his boat. But, you can't go dressed like that so you have to go to
Rafaels to get a nice Blue suit. A biker pulls up, take his bike if
you wish, then head to the Colonels Yacht. The Colonel will greet you
and then he asks his daughter to show you around. She shows you quite a
few people, many of whom you will see later. Then Ricardo Diaz shows up
and Mercedes wants to get out of there, and she asks you to take her to
the Pole Position Club. If you took the bike there it will be gone but
don't worry, there are some nice cars parked next to you. Take Mercedes
to the Club and Mission Complete. If you don't like your new suit you
can go and change it at your hideout
III. Back Alley Brawl
Ken Rosenburg then tells you that if someone knows where 20 kilos went,
Kent Paul will. Go to the Malibu Club and you will see Kent Paul trying
to chat a girl up. Then, head for the yellow blip on the radar. It is a
Chef on the mobile phone, he will start to fight you and if you have any
kind of weapon whatsoever you will win this without a scratch, otherwise
he may just get a punch or two in. Then take his phone. Then, a guy
named Lance Vance(great name, no?) shows up and isn't too pleased you
killed the only lead. he wants to help you. Lance gives you the Colt. 45
as 3 angry Chefs turn up behind you. Kill them if you wish, but you'll
probably get a star for it, but they carry some nice weapons - a Knife
and a Meat Cleaver. Get in Lance's white car then drive to Ammunation,
and then back to your hideout to comlete the mission.
IV. Jury Fury
One of the Forellis is going down in court and you will need to
"persuade" the jury to see your point of view. First of all, a man with
a hammer gets run over right in front of you, so grab his hammer. Then
go to the dot which is towards the north of your radar, head to the car
and start smashing it up. The juror will be upset. Then go to the other
dot and here you can either beat up the juror, or smash up his car, it
doesn't matter. Remember, guilty is a dirty word. If the second juror
gets to his car, he will smash into a truck which will drop a couple
of hammers.
V. Riot
Ken introduces you to Avery Carrington, who was at the party. Avery
wants you to cause a riot. First of all, go to Rafaels and get dressed
like a builder. You don't actually have to do this but it makes the
misson more fun. Then, head for the blip on your radar and attack four
workers which will cause a riot, then head into the compound. There are
some DBP security guys here, who are armed so shoot them all to hell.
Then, press R1 and aim at a barrel, and shoot it with your pistol.
Any remaining vans should be disposed of with your hammer, the builders
should ignore you and beat each other up, but you may get a stray
builder come and attack you, so look out.
**************************************************************************
3.2 Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez
I. Treacherous Swine
Colonel Cortez tells you about Gonzalez, his right hand man, who he
doesn't trust and is incompetent. Once you do this for the Colonel he
will help you to find your money. He tells you to take a Chainsaw(NICE!)
and dipsose of him. Go up to him and he will say "Jesus he has a blade"
and then have a rooftop chase - kill his gang members then chase him out
into the streets and then kill him. Go and do that, and laugh but don't
laugh for too long, The Cops are on to you! Just grab a car and head
for the new blip on your radar, which is the Pay N Spray, which this
time is free.
II. Mall Shootout
The Colonel wants you to meet a man in the mall who has something
important. Drive a reasonably fast car and park it close to the large
exit, you'll see why in a minute. Meet him, but then the FBI turn up
and he bolts, just ignore the FBI and run for it, you can't win a
firefight with them currently. He will runs out of the exit where your
car is so get in it and hunt him down, dispose of him in any way
possible and grab the chip, take the Chip back to Cortez and it's
mission complete.
III. Guardian Angels
The Colonel wants you to watch over Diaz and his men, and he left a
present for you in the Multi-Storey Car Park. Go to the multi-storey
and pick up the Ruger, when you do so Lance will turn up. Go with Lance
to the pink blip on the radar, and meet up with Diaz and his gang. Go
up the stairs and wait. When the shooting happens, start kiling all
the enemies, and grab their weapons if possible. Then, two guys on
Sanchezs will take the money and run, but one of them gets shot off
his bike. Grab the guys bike and follow the other one. I hope you have
a driveby weapon, because you'll need it. Just navigate down the side
streets and hold O when you are behind him. Get the briefcase and
deliver it back to Diaz.
IV. Sir, Yes Sir!
***You have to have done Phnom Penh 86' for Diaz in order to do the
next two missions***
The Colonel says a piece of "Military Hardware"(A Tank if you must
know) is being taken through town. Simply follow the convoy of army
vehicles, and wait for it to stop. The general or whoever orders a
soldier to get some donuts, and now is the time to strike. SPRINT
towards the tank and then drive, when you are in the tank, the only
thing you have to worry about is being pulled out of it. Take the
Tank to the Colonel's lock up.
V. All Hands on Deck!
The Colonel is getting out of here, as the French are after him. Get
onto his yacht and wait - French people will chase you in boats, so
get ready with your Ruger/Sniper Rifle. When the boats come, just hit
the gun men which are on top of the boats, and ignore the boats
themselves. Then, the French Form a Blockade of boats under a bridge,
so just gun the whole lot up! Snipe them and their boats if you want.
Then, and this is the really annoying part, Helicopters will keep
dropping the French armed forces all around you, so stay alert and
then shoot the choppers down. These men won't really be trying to kill
the Colonel, they'll be after the Sailors and you, but eliminate them
anyway. Next, a Hunter will show up. This really made me double-take,
I wasn't expecting it at all. Just unload your Ruger into it, or snipe
into it's cockpit.
**************************************************************************
3.3 Ricardo Diaz
I. The Chase
Go to the D on your Radar, and up into Diaz's mansion. He will tell you
he doesn't trust one of his organisation and you are to follow him. Go
to the guys appartment, and Tommy will look through the window, it looks
like he isn't in. Tommy then sees the guy on the Roof, follow him and
use the planks to get between the buildings, be careful not to fall!
Then he jumps into a Beach Buggy and drives off. Quickly grab a Car
and chase him but be careful, someone on top of his BF Injection is
shooting at you, and he may cause your car to blow up or give you a
tire blowout. Chase him back to his hideout and report it's location to
Diaz. Don't worry, you'll deal with him in:
II. Phnom Penh '86
Diaz now wants you to take the guy out. Lance Vance shows up in a
Maverick, and you get to play gunner with an M60 down on all the people
guarding the roof. Try to kill all of them, it will mean less bother for
you later. There are some barrels and if you hit them it will make things
easier. Now, go into the house but be warned, there are still guys hanging
around here so try to shoot them before they shoot you. Use either the
Sniper Rifle, Shotgun or a Sub-Machine Gun. Get the Briefcase and get
it back to Diaz. And now, the bridges to the second island are open, Yay!
III. The Fastest Boat
Diaz is angry as his boat used to be the envy of Vice City, but now someone
is building a faster boat. He wants to to steal it for him. At the Dock
where it is being built, there are a load of guards, try to Snipe as many of
them as you can before heading in, then run to the garage and flip the switch
which lowers the boat, but be careful as the guys in here aren't too happy,
but aren't armed as well as their comrades thank god.Then, either sprint for
the boat or try to shotgun a few. These guys are heavily armed so I strongly
advise getting body armor before attempting this mission, When you get into
the boat you should be OK.Take it back to Diaz to complete the mission.
IV. Supply and Demand
A Man is selling his cargo to the first boat who gets to him, and Diaz wants
that cargo. He says you can take the Fastest Boat which you got from the
last mission. When you get to the boat, Lance is waiting for you, he will be
the gunner. Then, 4 other boats go past - two go to the right, and two to
the left. Follow the two which go to the left, They have chosen the fastest
route. The Squallo II should burn these two boats away, and Lance will shoot
them anyway("It's Time for the Lance Vance Dance!"), leaving you to get the
cargo first. Then, a whole load of people, angry that you got the cargo
decide to get you. Now, you are the gunner. First of all, take out the two
boats following you, but take out the gunners on top of them. Then, there
are a whole load of heavily armed men at the dock, gun them all down
quickly before they blow your boat up. Next, a Sparrow (no, not the bird,
it's a helicopter) will show up, so you have to take that down too, try to
get your shots inside the cockpit and you should be OK. Then, one last boat
will come, just take out the guy on top shooting at you then blow the boat
up. There, mission complete!
**************************************************************************
3.4 Kent Paul
I. Death Row
This is a nasty mission, tool up on Sniper Rifles and Uzis. Go to the Malibu
Club and Kent Paul will tell you that Diaz has captured Lance after he tried
to ambush him. You have to head to the junkyard to get him out. Go to the
junkyard and try to snipe as many people as you can out of your way. Then,
smash past the car blocking your entrance into the compound and try to
drive-by as many people as you can, then start Sniping. Rescue Lance, but now
you have to get him to the hospital. Try to get into a big car like a lorry
or the Garbage Truck(Trashmaster) which I know is usually in the Junkyard but
I haven't confirmed whether it is on this mission or not(I used a truck but
when I returned later to explore I discovered it). If it is there, get into
that or a truck and drive to the hospital. The enemy will try to smash into
you with cars, but they can't touch your massive Truck, they just get sent
flying. Trucks can usually be found around Vice Port.
***************************************************************************
3.5 Tommy Vercetti
I. Rub Out
Go and get some Sniper Rifle, if you don't have already. Go just outside
Diaz's mansion and Lance will show up. He has been saving up for a rainy day
- you both now have M4s! Go to the left of Diaz's mansion and start Sniping.
go up the stairs but Lance may run off to take care of the guy on the left
who is inside the maze. When you reach the back of the house, Lance will run
off again so be prepared to give him back-up. Then go down to the Swimming
pool and then go down the Corridors, making sure to eliminate any of Diaz's
men. I recommend you choose the corridor on the right. Then, enter into the
main hall type place and Snipe Diaz. Tommy and Lance will then do the rest.
After completing this mission you get to own Diaz's Mansion! And, it also
has a Maverick helicopter on the roof!
II. Shakedown
Tommy, Ken, Avery and Lance are all in the mansion and decide that it's time
to take control of the City. Lance points out that the shops will no longer
pay protection money if they learn than Diaz is dead so Tommy decides he will
fix this, and will be back in 5 minutes. You will have a 5 minute time limit.
First of all, before activating this mission I'd leave a Sanchez or a PCJ in
your garage, and head to the mall. Enter it on your bike, and the first two
shops should be on your right and left:Tarbrush and Gash. Driveby their
windows, before heading up the stairs in the Gash shop to smash the upstairs
windows. While you're upstairs, you might as well take out the windows of
Countdown Records too. Then, Head down the escalators and smash the windows
of the jewellery shop. Whew! job done.
III. Bar Brawl
Some bar isn't payin protection money, so head down to the blip on your radar,
and snipe the two guards there, then go and talk to the bar owner, who will
tell you that DBP security are behind this. Then, go round the corner to DBP
security and start lobbin' grenades over the wall and try to eliminate as
many of those guards as you possibly can. if any try to get away or shoot
you, SPAS-12 or Colt Python them till they die.
IV. Cop Land
A guy screwed up planting a bomb in the mall and Lance isn't very pleased
with him, because now Cops are all over the mall and It'd be impossible to
get within a mile of it if you weren't a cop, so Tommy decides him and Lance
should dress up as cops in order to get in. First, get a one star rating and
go hide in the garage. Hopefully, you can lure two cops in there with no
problem. If you have a Two Star Rating, there is a chance that a Cop Car
could block the garages doors so they can't shut. Then, grab a helicopter, I
used the VCPD Maverick, but you can use a normal one if you want. Go into the
mall and then go into the shop on your right, and stand in the marker. Then,
RUN! get out of the mall and eliminate the Cop standing guard at the
entrance. Get into your helicopter and get out of there, otherwise the FBI
will be all over you if you want to go by car, so if you are in a Car, head
to a Pay 'N' Spray, FAST.
V. Cap the Collector
As mentioned before You will also need to have completed 5 asset missions
as well as the Print Works missions in order to be able to do the next two
missions.
Before even starting the mission, make sure you have bought every single
asset. Then, head down to the Print works in a fast car like an Infernus.
Mr. Kelly at the Print Works tells you that the Mafia came round and beat
him up, and you discover the Mafia are taxing all your businesses. First
head to the Boatyard, as that is where they are going to first, but by the
time I go there they'd already capped it, and were heading for sunshine Autos.
Eliminate them when they are heading for there and another set will show up.
Try to get them before they get there before yet another set turn up. Kill
these(either ram them off their bikes or drive-by them.) too. The order which
they go to in is Print works(Already done) to the Boatyard, to Sunshine Autos,
to the Malibu, to The Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, to Kaufmann Cabs, to
the Pole Position Club, to the Interglobal Film Studio.
VI. Keep your Friends Close
OK, are you ready? this is the last mission in story mode. When you
arrive at the mansion, Lance and Ken tell Tommy that Sonny and his
Mafia are coming from up north. Tommy tells Ken to get fake money
printed, and tells Lance to get the guys together. The three of them
then go down to meet Sonny, who then reveals something, Lance has sold
out. Lance then tells Sonny that the money is in the safe upstairs. You
now have to guard the safe, there is ammo next to you but DO NOT MOVE
from behind the desk. When I stayed behind the desk, the first time only
one Mafia man came, the second, none came. But, the first time I tried
this mission I went to get the Ammo and about 20 came. If they do come,
kill them using the SPAS-12 or The Colt Python, then go get Lance. Shoot him
once to make him run away. Head to where your helicopter is, shooting at
Lanceall the way up. Lance is guarded by goons so try to kill as many of
them as you can before Sprinting to the Helipad. Then, run down one of
the ramps to get Lance side-on so he doesn't have any barriers to protect
him. I just kept SPAS-12ing him and then the great comment made by Tommy
"It's the last dance for Lance Vance" During this point you will probably
recieve messages that the Mafia is stealing your money, ignore it as you
will get all your money back at the end anyway. Head back inside and Sonny
shows up with his bodyguards, just make sure you take out anyone who is in
your office who shouldn't be. After the Cut-Scene with Sonny, IMMEDIATELY
press L3. Him and his goons can't get you now, and all you can see is
Sonny's head. Tempting, isn't it? Pull out your PSG-1 and keep shooting
him in his head(it will take a few bullets) and now sit back, relax, and
enjoy the ending and the credits. Then get ready, you have more work to
do!
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES:
It's a very popular mission to submit strategies for! still, if you have
a good one don't hesitate to send it in, and that goes for EVERY SINGLE
MISSION.OK? Well, except for The Party, and An Old Friend :)
From:Colin
First kill off everone who comes in. Then when it tells you to get Lance
run down the main stairs, not up towards Lance. Then go downstairs to
refill with health and armor. Go back up but go to the floor that Lance
is on, and come up from behind him. Take out a rocket launcher and fire
at him. Make sure you aren't close to any walls so you don't blow yourself
up. If the rocket launcher trick doesn't work then use the spaz shotgun
and just fire away. Sometimes he dies and sometimes the game glitches and
Lance appears behind you, but either way he's lost some life. If he's not
dead get out the spaz and keep firing at him and hopefully you won't have
to go to the roof at all. If the game really screws you and he makes it
to the roof, then don't shoot anyone and run onto the helipad. If you have
grenades use those but if not get in the chopper and hover above them
until it sets on fire, then jump out or set it down quickly and run away.
The blast should kill everone around and hopefully not you. Then you have
to go and kill Sonny. Before you get the the top of the stairs kill everyone
in your office from the opposite side of the room. Once you get to the top
of the stairs the cut-scene appears. After its over press L3 quickly and duck.
Get out your sniper rifle and you should just see the top of Sonny's head.
Enjoy!
From:Teini
It's where you have to kill Lance Vance... if you have grenades, go to the
helipad and throw a few dawn, that shuold kill them all and no damage to you.
From:Richard Michael Lewis
I have the easiest strategy for Keep Your Friends Close. When you have to
kill lance, don't shoot him at all. Run out the front door. Blow up all
the cars and guys out front. Find a helicopter and take it to the roof.
Blow up everything. When you run inside from the roof, Lance is dead, all
the guys are gone, and you have to kill Sonny
**************************************************************************
4.0 Optional Missions
4.1 Avery Carrington
I. Four Iron
Avery doesn't like someone who is a golfer, you have got to take him out.
First of all, you need to dress like a Golfer, so head down to Jocksport
for some clothes (a guy will make a funny comment). IF you go in the Golf
Club throught the front you will have all your weapons taken away(you can
come back and get them later). But I prefer to get an Ambulance, park it
so that the rear end is parked next to the grey cylinder thing which
contains flags, hop on the front of the Ambulance, hop onto the roof of
the ambulance and over. As some people may have done this mission early
on in the game, I will include a strategy for that too. First of all, head
to where the guy is, and blow up all the Golf Carts with the PSG-1, or if
you want to get a bit closer, the Rocket Launcher and then snipe all the
bodyguards before they can get to you. The man will just run away, leaving
you to hunt him down. If it's early in the game, try to shoot all the
bodyguards or run them down in the Caddy, then chase the man in your own
caddy, try to block him, pull him out of his cart and either Golf Club him
to death, or use any gun you may have.Or, take a bike in, then when he runs
off, kill the security gards and then make for the exit, but you can do this
in a caddy before he gets there, then just wait for him and Chainsaw(which you
should get by doing the first Cortez mission) or just move all the golf carts
away from the area. Whew! there are so many options.
II. Demolition Man
Avery doesn't like a rival construction building, you have to sort them
out. First of all get to the Top Fun Van which is just down the road,
then learn how to fly the helicopter if you don't already know. Then,
go into the building with the chopper and eliminate all the builders
and DBP security guys with your choppers rotors. Then, begin the mission
by picking up the bombs, you will be given 7 minutes to do it in, which
is nore than enough. Each bomb is on a different level so you have to
negotiate flights of stairs to get to each one and turn round tight corners.
Just look for them on your radar, if there is a blip which is a square,
head towards it. If there is a blip which is an arrow pointing up or down,
then head up or down. I finished this mission with 2 and a half minutes
to spare. If you are really finding this difficult, and would do anything
to complete it, enter the Slow down gameplay cheat twice and you'll easily
do this mission, but don't cheat unless you really HAVE to.Enjoy the
fireworks!
III. Two-Bit Hit - You can only do this after completing Phnom Penh 86'
Avery Introduces you to Donald Love(read all about this in GTA 3 references)
And he wants you to stir up some trouble between the Cubans and The Haitans.
First you need to dress up as a Cuban, then head for where the Gang leader
is, try to run him down before he gets to the hearse. If you don't, he will
drive off and drop Coffins all over the road. DON'T Run into these Coffins,
they have the same effect as Molotovs. Try to Drive-By him or even Rocket
Launcher him. As for the guys in the compound, you could Drive-by them or
use the Colt Python/SPAS-12 Shotgun.
**************************************************************************
4.2 Love Fist
I. Love Juice
Kent Paul Introduces you to the Scottish band, Love Fist, whose songs you
can sometimes hear playing on V-Rock. The band want you to get them a drug,
called love juice. Go see the dealer, who will double cross you and take
your money. Chase him down, and ram him off his bike and grab the drugs.
Then, Kent phones you telling you the Band want a girl. Tommy says he thinks
he knows the right girl. Get on the bike and go see Mercedes, and get her
back to the band as fast as you can as there is now a 1 and a half minute
time limit for this part of this mission.
II. Psycho Killer
Love Fist tell you that there is a stalker after them, and they aren't sure
what to do. They want you to drive them to a signing. Take the Limo and drive
the band to the location, before the stalker shows up. Chase the stalker when
he gets into his car, and drive-by his car, be careful not to lose him. But
The Strategy Below is much more in-depth than mine, so follow that instead!
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:Chris Farthing
In the Lovefist 'Psycho Killer' Mission, you are supplied with a stretch limo
to chase and kill the Lovefist stalker. He escapes in a fast car and you have
to catch him. Your stretch is slightly faster than his car but the handling
isn't as good, and you have to keep up as there is no 'blip' on the map. What
you really need is a faster car with better handling, but which also can take
plenty of damage. Fortunately, in the alley behind the signing event venue is
an FBI Washington, which fits the bill perfectly. So, start the mission in the
stretch, drive to the venue but stop just short of the pink beam, get out and
steal the Washington, bring it back to where the stalker makes his getaway
from, get out of the Washington leaving the door open, back into the stretch,
and drive into the pink beam. Now when he drives off, hop into the Washington
and give chase. Avoid the trashmaster just before Ammunition and you should
soon be able to do him over.
III. Publicity Tour - Note you can only do this after completing the Biker
Missions.
Love Fist are annoyed because the stalker isn't dead after all! they want
you to drive them to the concert venue which is just down the road. Love
Fist then put on a tape when you are in the Limo which explains that there
is a bomb on the limoand if the Limo slows down, KABOOM! Sounds just like
Speed to me. Anyway, just drive on the pavements and keep driving, I somehow
ended up in viceport. The Band will defuse the bomb after a while. You are
then free to drive them to the concert venue.
***************************************************************************
4.3 Mitch Baker
I. Alloy Wheels of Steel
This reminded me of a certain mission for El Burro in GTA3, Turismo. And I
remember how I dealt with that too.... Anyway, Kent Paul thinks that having
a Biker Gang as security for a gig would be really cool, so you have to win
theirrespect. Go to the Greasy Chopper and speak to Mitch Baker, who will
want to test your skill on a bike. When I did Turismo, I blocked all the
other cars with massive trucks so they couldn't get anywhere. I advise you
drive here in oneof those Car Transported thingees, which you can find in
Vice Port. Then, park it just in front of the other riders but don't touch
them as you'll trigger the race. Then grab an Angel or Freeway, and if you
drive slowly through the pink marker you can start the race just in front of
the other riders. Don't shoot the other riders either. The other racers will
go straight into your roadblock but will find a way out eventually. Be
EXTREMELY careful on corners, the other drivers aren't and they go smashing
into walls and fall off their bikes. You should be way out in front and win
comfortably. It took me ages to win this race, so the Angel I used was saved
in my garage, it has now become my lucky bike, as I used it to drive me to
"Publicity Tour" and "Stuntboat Challenge" both missions which I just could't
do until I drove on the Angel there, when I did I completed them straight
away, and when I got back to the place where the missions were set,
the Angel somehow stayed there without disapearing. The Angel is still in my
garage today.
II. Messing with the Man
Mitch wants you to show Vice City that you are the meanest guy there is. You
have to go crazy in an attempt to fill up the chaos meter. The best ways to
do this are to go crazy in a tank, blow up cars with the SPAS-12 or the
Flamethrower as well as targetting cops and pedestrians, or going up the
stairs just down the road from the Greasy Chopper to Skumhole Shack, where
you can snipe people and cars with your PSG-1. Also, when the Chopper comes,
you can just take a couple of steps back and use the PSG-1 on it's
windscreen, which should fill the meter up to full by now.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:MClayden/ASDLMikey
Also on the Biker Gang mission where you have to fill up the Chaos Meter,
simply buy 500 bullets for the MP5 or Uzi and then blow up any car, then
keep shooting the exploded shell of the car, this will fill the Chaos Meter
a LOT quicker and easier than doing the level properly.
III. Hog Tied
A local gang has stolen Mitch's bike. If you can get it back, he and his
boys will provide security at the Love Fist concert. First of all, get a
PCJ-600 and head to ammunation. Then drive up the stairs opposite REALLY
FAST and fly up onto the roof of ammunation, or you can just use a
helicopter. Use your Colt Python or SPAS Shotgun on all the Gang members,
grab Mitch's bike and get the hell out of there. You will be attacked by
people in cars, which will easily throw you from the bike, so try to weave
in and out of traffic so that the people following you smash into the
traffic, leaving you with a clear route to the Greasy Chopper. And the guy
who gets on it at the end isn't a car jacker, he's a biker from Mitch's
Gang, taking it back to him.
**************************************************************************
4.4 Umberto Robina
I. Stuntboat Challenge
When you first go into the cafe, a very amusing dialogue takes place
between Tommy and Umberto. He wants you to prove that you have "big cojhones"
or however you spell it. You meet up with Rico and get into a boat. You have
to go from checkpoint to checkpoint, in a time limit of 3 minutes. There are
two bits you need to be careful of. The first one is the third checkpoint
which you can get by going over a ramp which takes you over Leaf Links. The
problemwith this is, the boat sometimes won't make it, and if it doesn't, it
will ALWAYS land on a group of golfers who are watching you, and the Police
aren't too impressed by you doing that either. Frankly, if you land on Leaf
Links, give it up, you won't complete the mission in time. The second problem
checkpoint is the one where you have to make a U-Turn around a bridge, just
don't take it too fast and you'll be fine.
II. Cannon Fodder
Before Meeting up with Umberto make sure you have a Sniper Rifle, and either
an MP5, Colt Python or Spas Shotgun, or even better, all 3! Umberto is angry
because he has been shot, and he wants you to take some of his boys down to
the fight. Graba Van or a Maverick and head down to the fight. You will see
a bunch of Cubans shooting at Haitians who are behind a car in an alley.
What I did was sprint down the alley and into the alcove just to the left of
the car, if you are quick, theHaitians won't get you, they certainly didn't
get me. You can now see just a bit of the car, so pull out your Spas and
unload a few rounds into it, which should cause it to detonate. There will
still be a couple of Haitians behind there whosurvived, so use either your
MP5, Colt Python or Spas Shotgun to eliminate them. Then, some of the Cubans
will charge down the alley, but get their heads shot off. Sniper! Pull out
your own Sniper Rifle and pop his head, you should be out of hisrange anyway.
More Cubans come in a taxi from Cafe Robina.In the next area, there will be
a whole load of Haitians. Rico or whoever grabs the van and tells you to get
in. I'm not sure but I think there are infinite Haitians so kill a few and
drive off before more can come. Head back to the Cafe in the van.
III. Naval Engagement
Get yourself either a Mini-Gun or Flamethrower before this mission, I
wouldn't advise using a Rocket Launcher as the enemy is a bit too close.
There's a deal going down between some gang and the Haitians, and Umberto
wants that shipment. Go to Vice point and meet up with Rico. He will take
you to where the deal is happening, and listen to Rico's advice, I can't
remember the exact words but it was something like "Shoot Fast, my boat's
no good full of holes Amigo" There will be a couple of Boats full of Haitians,
so use either your Mini-Gun or Flamethrower to clear them out, and hopefully
blow up their boats. Then you will be sent out to get the drugs, but there are
still plenty of armed and angry Haitians around, so use your MP5, Colt Python
or Spas Shotgun, which you should still have from the last mission. Grab both
the briefcases andhead back to Rico. I don't know what happens here, I can't
really tell - either Rico's boat blows up through gunfire and he escapes on
the dinghy, or the people in the dinghy are there to kamikaze themselves into
Rico's boat, and Rico escapedbefore it blew up. Anyway, after that, drive as
fast as you can to the Cafe - SWAT Teams will now be onto you, which means
that the ride home won't be a pleasant one, no Pay 'N' Sprays are really
that close to you.
IV. Trojan Voodoo - Note you need to have completed the Haitian gang
missions in order to continue
Before this mission, grab a Voodoo car and either an MP5, Colt Python
or SPAS-12 Shotgun(it always is for these Cuban missions....). You can
find Haitian Voodoos in Litte Haiti, and I think there's a parked one
outside Auntie Poulet's House(which you should know the location of,
as you should have just done all her missions) but I couldn't find her
house so I just grabbed one off the street. Anyway, park quite a way
back from Cafe Robina, otherwise the Car will dissapear. Then, activate
the mission. Umberto tells you that he wants the Haitian facility blown
sky high, and you have to infiltrate it with the other Cubans in a Voodoo.
Then, go meet Pepe and get in your car, and head for Rico and the other
Cubans. Next, they will drive into the compound, so you have to follow
them. Then, get into the pink marker and get out. Eliminate all Haitians
that stand in your way, and go into the building. Kill all the Haitians in
here and head for the top of the stairs, the bomb location is just next
to you, ignore the other locations for now. Activate this and quickly run
down the stairs and then activate the two bombs on the wall which has the
exit on, and run out the exit. Then, run up to the gate, some Cubans may be
following you, and head to the right. You will see a flight of stairs which
you need to go up, and then just run across the rooftops away from the
facility. Then, enjoy the fireworks!
**************************************************************************
4.5 Auntie Poulet
I. Juju Scramble
The Cubans have told the cops where all Auntie's "herbs" are. There are
three stashes of these herbs, which are the blips on your radar. Go up to
the ramp and grab the first stash Be careful, there is an FBI ambush so
be prepared to run, as if you kill them your wanted level will increase
from the two stars you just got. Dash to your car and head to the next
location, and when you get the stash you will end up with 4 stars! get
back to Auntie's as quickly as you can, for obvious reasons, but a fast
car should get you there, unless it catches fire like mine did, and I just
bailed out, shot a couple of cops and grabbed their car.
II. Bombs Away!
The Cubans make most of their money by shipping in drugs using their boats,
and Auntie Poulet wants you to stop this from happening. Her Nephew has
rigged a load of toy planes with bombs, so head for the Top Fun Van and
fly the planes. These planes aren't easy to fly, but are nothing compared
to the Dodo in GTA3. For more in depth flying tips just read the section
in vehicles. Anyway, head out to where the Cuban boats are stationed and
try to drop as many bombs as you can on all the boats before they sail
away. The Cubans have assault rifles so be careful. If any of the boats do
get away, then chase them. Remember, as the boats are moving targets, they
will have moved in the time it takes from you pressing O,and the bomb
hitting the ground(or in this case, water) So either try to stay as low
as possible, or drop your bombs a little bit in front of the boat, so
it drives into it. Then, a Cuban will drive off in a getaway car, so use
the same techniques you used for hitting the boats, only this time it's
more harder, as you will have to negotiate buildings and palm trees. I was
very satisfied with my bomb on this guy, it landed dead centre on his
engine :). You have 3 planes, in case the other 2 crash, which they could
well do as all the Cubans are Armed, except the guy in the car. The planes
themselves have unlimited bombs.
III. Dirty Lickin's
Poulet tells you about a gang fight between the Haitians and the Cubans,
and you are to play sniper. The building you have to go up isn't too far
away, and there is an adrenalin pill next to the stairs, which will make
things much easier. Just snipe all the Cubans, especially if they have a
Haitian on the ground. A little bit later, a van full of Cubans will turn
up, eliminate all of these too, as they will gang up on lone Haitians.
Next, a bunch of Cubans will come running in from the opposite side the
van came in, and one even has a Katana! take him out first, the Cubans
are prone to running into this combat in a straight line, so you can
kill a couple before the fighting begins again. Snipe all the Cubans or
if there are 5 Haitians and 2 Cubans or whatever, leave Cubans to die,
Mission Complete! The mission will fail if all the Haitians die however.
**************************************************************************
4.6 Phil Cassidy
You will need to have completed all the Malibu missions to unlock Phill's
missions
I Gun Runner
A Mexican gang is bringing in weapons to the city and Phil wants to get
them. Sorry, Phil wants YOU to get them. There are two teams of two Bobcat
style trucks, ram into the back of them to spill their cargo. One of the
two trucks will haveA gunner on the top, so eliminate him when you get the
weapons the truck dropped. When you get out of your car, be careful not to
get run over either. The trucks could call for backup, which will be in the
form of a load of people on mopeds.Just kill them, kill them ALL! Then go
to the other set of trucks and do the same thing.
II Boomshine Saigon
Phil is messing around, drinking boomshine and setting off bombs. Tommy
inhales(accidentally, I might add) some of the fumes, which I guess makes
him intoxicated. Phil then loses his arm in an explosion, and needs to
be taken to the hospital. This mission is great fun, as Tommy smelt the
fumes, the screen starts getting all blurry and the patriot sways from
side to side, and you get to listen to some of Phills crazy ramblings!
when you get to the hopsital, Phil doesn't want to goin and asks you to
take him to some Army Surgeon who lives just around the corner. The car
also bleeds across the road. Upon Completion, you get to buy some NICE
weapons from Phil.
**************************************************************************
4.7 Assassination Missions
I Road Kill
OK, some guy will tell you to answer a phone, which always seems to have
instructions taped behind it, and the man always calls you "Mr Teal."
Anyway, Today our friend(who I shall now call Mr. Teal, even though that's
what he calls Tommy) wants a Pizza Delivery Man erased. So, find the Pizza
guy, smash into his bike and run him down!
II Waste the Wife
Mr. Teal now wants you to kill someone's(possibly his own, I can't
remember) wife, so grab a nice big truck, or a SWAT Van if you want, as
that will serve your purpose well. Find the woman and keep smashing into
her car, try to set it on fire or flip it, it doesn't matter which one
you do. You aren't allowed to shoot her, as it needs to look like a car
accident.
III Autocide
A European gang has come to Vice City to do a bank job, some pretending
to be on holiday, some on vacation. Mr. Teal's associates don't want
this to happen, so grab a fast car(There is a time limit of 9 minutes)
and head for the first blip. You may even stand on the blip and not see
him, which puzzled me at first, till I remembered what Mr. Teal said:
"Mark Griffon is working on an Advertising Board" So look up with your
Sniper Rifle, and Snipe him! Next, theres a guy at DBP security, just
shoot his head through the vans windows. The next targets are in a Bobcat,
so chase them down and drive-bytheir truck. The next guy is in his boat,
so just head to the nearby bridge and use your PSG-1 on the boat till it
explodes! The next guy is in my opinion the hardest, as if he spots you he
is just gonna tear off, weaving through traffic.Try to slam him off his
bike and then run him over, I only managed to kill him because he fell
off his bike when he was quite a way ahead of me and I managed to get to
him just before he got back on.
IV Check out at the Check in
Take a Chopper and Land it just outside the terminal, you'll see why in a
minute. Then, enter the terminal(you will lose all your guns however,
but you can getthem back in a minute) Mr. Teal will give you extremely
clear instructions. First, grab the Sniper Rifle which is in the Plants,
then watch the woman in purple, she will ask someone for the time and give
them a briefcase. You are to shoot that person but not the woman. Follow
Mr. Teal's instructions, the woman will ask a man who has a bodyguard
with him the time, so take both him and the bodyguard out, and quickly
run outside, grab your weapons, and pile into your chopper, shoot anyone
or anything that gets in your way, but make sure you parked the chopper
quite far back, as someone will smash into it before you can get there.
Then, sit back and relax on your ride to Ammunation (the onein Downtown)
Be careful however, there may be a police chopper on your tail, but you
can usually fly faster than it can.
V. Loose Ends
There's a deal going down at the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, Mr.
Teal wants the drugs. This mission annoyed me, as I own the Ice Cream
Factory, just who do these guys think they are? Then I remembered Phil
Cassidy's sign "No Trespassers, Violators will be shot, survivors will
be shot again" An MP5 and a PSG-1 are useful companions here. Anyway,
go through the gate and start Sniping the guys behind the car, then snipe
the car to death, then enter. Use your MP5 to find targets and your PSG-1
to kill them, unless there is multiple targets, in which case just MP5
them. Continue to make your waythrough the area, and up several flights
of stairs. You should now be on the roof of the Factory, snipe anyone you
see, then run up the ramp like thing, and drop a grenade off, this should
kill everyone but one, who is pressed against your ramp. Jump down and
Spas him. Then, take the Chopper and head for the Helipad at the airport.
**************************************************************************
5.0 Asset Missions
These aren't listed in any particular order, it's just the order I
remembered them in.
**************************************************************************
5.1 Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory
Costs: $20,000 Daily Revenue: $3,000 Last Owner:Some Crazy Lady
Note, Don't EVER save your go here, OK? It sometimes screws it up.
Perhaps it's the crazy lady....
I Distribution
A Crazy lady calls Tommy a child and keeps mentioning how she hates
children. Tommy asks her the obvious question of "Why do you run an Ice Cream
Factory if you hate kids so much?" To which she calls Tommy stupid and points
out it's a front. So, go out and deliver 50 people their "Ice Cream" but what
your delivering is white powder of a different kind. Every four
"Ice Creams" you sell, you get a wanted level, so try to stay around Pay 'N'
Sprays. Getting 50 may take a while, but it's easier than some of the other
Assets.
***************************************************************************
5.2 Print Works
Costs: $70,000 Daily Revenue:$8,000 Last Owner:Mr Kelly
I Spilling the Beans
Tommy arrives at the printworks, which he is proud to own as his father
used to do something similar. Mr. Kelly asks Tommy what they should print,
and Tommy suggests a newspaper or magazine or something. Mr. Kelly suggests
that they print money, which he has been doing on a small-scale basis, but
he needs the right plates. Mr Kelly doesn't know where to find the prints,
but Tommy has an idea of who knows. Head to the Malibu club and have a word
with Kent Paul who tells you it's on a ship. Head to the ship but be careful,
it's crawling with DBP Security guys so try to snipe as many of them as you
can before heading onto the boat. Make your way up all the flights of stairs,
and use your Colt Python on all the security guys that try to stop you, then
go into the pink marker and interrogate the guy who will tell you what you
need to know. The boat is even more filled with DBP guys, so shoot your way
out. You will have at least 2 wanted stars, and maybe more because of all
the DBP guys you shot. Head for the Pay 'N' Spray first, then go back to the
Printworks
II Hit the Courier
The Courier will be landing with the plates at viceport in her helicopter.
Wait for the helicopter to land and start sniping all the women with guns.
Some of them, including the courier may try to get away in cars, so just
blow them up however you see fit, grab the plate and head back to Mr. Kelly
at the Printworks.
**************************************************************************
5.3 Kaufman Cabs
Costs $40,000 Daily Revenue $5,000 Last Owner:It looks like there have
been several gangs owning it.
I V.I.P
There's a V.I.P Leaving his house on Starfish Island in one minutes time.
Get there as fast as you can, and just as he is about to get in your cab,
another taxi from another company comes along and steals your fare!
Drive-by him until the taxi starts smoldering with black smoke, no fire
is neccessary or wanted just yet. The taxi will then try to smash into you
all the way there, but as he already has black smoke, you can drive-by
him or let him smash into stuff and he will catch fire, and you can enjoy
a leisurely drive to the airport
II Friendly Rivalry
VC Cabs are stealing your fares all over the city! time for a bit of
"Friendly Rivalry" methinks. Find the taxis on your radar, hunt them
down and drive-by em.An MP5 is what you really need for this mission.
III Cabmageddon
If you don't have an MP5, Which you should do since I told you to
get one for the last mission, GET ONE NOW!!!!! Anyway, Mercedes has
apparently phoned Kaufman Cabs and specially requested Cab No. 13,
and guess what, you drive that cab. Then, go and meet Mercedes, but
hold on a minute! a whole LOAD of taxis just came from nowhere,
intent on killing you! just drive around in a circle, drive-bying
the opposite side. When one taxi catches fire, it's curtains for the
whole lot as that will set off a chain reaction. Next, the Taxis leader
shows up in a Zebra Cab, determined to destroy Kaufman Cabs "Guardian
Angel" Just drive-by him, or just climb onto your cab and snipe his head
through the window, and that way you get to keep his cab, even though it
appears at Kaufman Cabs sometimes from now on anyway.
**************************************************************************
5.4 The Malibu
Costs $120,000 Daily Revenue $10,000 Last Owner:Unknown, but Kent
Paul spends waaaay too much time there
I No Escape?
Tommy wants to do a Bank Job. Ken knows of an expert Safe-Cracker, called
Cam Jones. Unfortunately, Cam is currently in one of the cells at VCPD HQ.
Taking a helicopter here will help you in the long run. Charge into the
cop station with your Colt Python Blazing, or head to the locker room and
change into the cop uniform, it depends if you like being subtle or if you
like shootouts. Head to the end of the main corridor, and go right, up the
stairs, The Key Card needed to bust Cam out should be in this office,
killing any cops in here if you wanna play shooter, then go back down the
stairs, into the room on the right and down the stairs into the cells. Let
Cam out and bust out of the Cop Station,all guns blazing, then get into your
chopper and fly away, and then deliver him.
II The Shootist
Tommy decides they need someone who can shoot guns, and Cam knows of
someone called Phil Cassidy who fits that description, who usually hangs out
at Ammunation, Downtown. He will join you but only if you can prove that
you're a good shooter. You will need to go to the shooting range, he gives
you a gun and ammo. You have to get 60 points. In the first section, you
have to destroy 5 sections on each target, and if the target is far away,
you get 3 points, medium distance, you get two points, and if it is close
up you get one point, the round will end if you run out of time or ammo.
This round is fairly easy. The next two rounds are identical to each other,
but they occur in different places. This time targets are only made up of
one section, but they often hide behind buildings. After the 3rd round(as
mentioned, the second and third rounds are identical, but occur in different
locations) Phil will decidewhether or not to join you, depending on whether
or not you beat 60 points.
III The Driver
Tommy then says they need a driver. Phil knows of one called Hillary
King but he will only help you if you beat him. Argh, this is one nasty
mission, you have to beat a Sabre Turbo in a race when you are in a
Sentinel. That is just plain unfair, so there are 3 options
1) Park a nice car, like a Banshee, Cheetah or Infernus quite a bit
down the road, so it doesn't disappear, and get into it when you pass,
and own him.
2) TRY to race him, but you don't really stand a chance unless you can get
a Cop Car to smash into him and knock him out of your way
3) Enter the following cheats before you start the Mission:Slow down
gameplay twice, Better handling. When on the starting grid use the increase
cars top speed. But I only reccomend cheating as a LAST RESORT.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:SpAzMaTic
a GOOD way to win the race is to turn on dodo cars. While he is speeding
and flying all over You can just slowly get all the check points with a
100% chance of winning!!!!
From:Dwayne Pretty
The only way I could beat this mission was by getting three stars before
the mission, then stay as close to the Sabre Turbo as possible. If you are
lucky a cop will toss a spike trap taking out both car's tires. Then you
can switch cars and win at ease while the Turbo spins out of control!
IV The Job
Heh, this is a fun mission
All 4 guys get into a taxi and you have to drive to the bank, upon
doing so everyone gets out and puts on Bank Job outfits. Hilary is told
to cruise around the block. The other 3 storm the bank, and hold everyone
up. Phil is left to maintain crowd conrol, while Tommy and Cam go
upstairs to the safe. There are a few machine-gun toting security guards,
so take them out with either your Colt Python or Spas Shotgun. When you
get to the safe, Cam says he needs the manager, so go find him. He's in
his office, cowering behind the desk. You can also look at the security
cameras, which is cool as you can see Phill marching up and down
threatening everyone, and you can also see a dead security guard but that
depends on where he was when you shot him. Anyway, take the manager to Cam.
Next, you are told to check on Phil, which means that something is up,
obviously. Go downstairs to learn that someone has triggered the alarm. I
shot all the people in here, but the R1 auto-aim feature doesn't work on
these people for some reason. Anyway, go to the Pink Marker to Trigger the
SWAT Counter-Attack. Yes, I know in some people's opinions that isn't a good
thing but you need to do it anyway. Get your SPAS or Preferably your Colt
Python and get ready. The SWAT teams kick the ceiling vents in, and unless
I was hallucinating, they also drop nerve gas in, but it doesn't seem to
hurt your health. Anyway, SWAT Team members will enter the bank through
these holes on ropes, so shoot them before they even hit the ground. Then,
it's time to go. Everyone starts wondering where Hilary is, and then he
turns up and says he'll cover you, but he gets shot. Kill the awaiting SWAT
teams in revenge and go as fast as you can either to a Pay 'N' Spray or to
your destination.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:Marco Spurk
Just put a fast, 4 doored car on the left side of the bank (just in advance
from where you get your bankjob outfit. Then, after the SWAT kill Hillary
just kill the 4 or 5 remaing SWAT team members and then run to the second
car - its very easy because new SWAT teams arrive in front of the bank
and not on the side where your second car is waiting!
**************************************************************************
5.5 The Pole Position Club
Costs $30,000 Daily Revenue: $4,000 Previous Owner:Unknown
Go into a back room, someone will dance for you, wait about 5-6 minutes
then exit.That's it!
**************************************************************************
5.6 The Boat Yard
Costs $10,000 Daily Revenue: $2,000 Previous Owners:Probably the two
stoned guys.
I Checkpoint Charlie
Take either Squallo II or the Cuban Jetmax and complete a series of
checkpoints, rather like Stunboat Challenge for the Cubans. Use
whichever boat you want, and complete the course as fast as you can.
The only real problem is the three consecutive jumps over the docks, just
get enough of a run up to get to the first one, then just keep going and
don't stop. If you get beached, or miss the jump and smack into a boat,
you might as well just give up now.If you clip the docks you might just
complete the level, if you are lucky.I did all 3 jumps cleanly, but only
managed to finish with one second to spare!
**************************************************************************
5.7 Sunshine Autos

USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:Charles Kjell Knutson
For the
Sunshine Autos asset mission, many of the cars, especially on the first
two lists, you have to rely on random occurances in order for certain cars
to appear. A quick way of getting them to appear quickly is to save and
reload your game in an area where they regularly appear. If not, it can
take as long as 15 minutes for a certain type of car to appear if not
longer. Also, if you find a car which you're relying upon it appearing
randomly (unlike let's say a pizza boy or Mr. Woopie which respawns in
set locations) and it's on a list you haven't gotten to, drive it out to
the sunshine autos garage and store it there. That way you'll save
yourself from having to reload the game later.
**************************************************************************
5.8 Interglobal Film Studios
Costs $60,000 Daily Revenue $7,000 Previous Owner:Steve Scott.
I Recruitment Drive
Tommy comes into the studio and insults everything, and then decides
to get some new recruits for Steve Scotts Porn film. Your first target is
Candy Suxxx, but her pimp and his gang have other ideas, you need to kill
them all, preferably with a Spas or Colt Python, then go hunt down the guy
in the car and kill him. Get a car and pick Candy up, then drive to the
Pizza Place to see your next target, Mercedes. Then, when you have Mercedes
take the two girls back to the Film Studio.
II Dildo Dodo
Tommy decides to take publicising the new film into his own hands, and takes
a Skimmer from an old indie film to drop leaflets around Vice This mission is
kinda hard, as flying planes isn't easy. Just take your time, ignore how much
fuel you have left and just fly. DO NOT Panic, even if you have low fuel,
panicking is the worst thing you could do. It doesn't even matter if you drop
the leaflets in the see. Just line yourself up with the target on your radar
and remember - if the blip is an upwards pointing arrow then it is above you,
if it is a square then it is level to you, and if it is a downwards pointing
arrow then it is below you.
III Martha's Mug Shot
Alex Shrub is supporting a new law to ban Porno Flicks, and Steve Doesn't
like this. he thinks that Candy is meeting up with him so you have to follow
her Limo in a Helicopter. If you can see them doing anything they shouldn't,
then you should take picture of it so that he can be blackmailed into
changing his mind. Follow the Limo in the Sparrow, and land next to the big
building opposite it, and run up the stairs, all the way to the top. Next,
get the Camera and zoom in, you will also hear something really funny: Shrub
wants Candy to call him Martha! anyway, take a few pics, it doesn't matter
what the two of them are doing, I wasn't really bothered to hang around to
wait to see what happened, I just took 3 quick pictures. The FBI will be
waiting for you on each floor of this building, so just Colt Python or SPAS
Shotgun your way out, and then take off in the Sparrow before any ground
forces can get to you, and fly back to the Studio. When I was just
approaching the studio(I was over Prawn Island) Someone started shooting
at my Sparrow with an Assault Rifle, so be careful of that also.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:ADSLMikey/MClayden
Rather than climb up all the stairs and risk the security killing you, just
get the sparrow and fly to the place where Shrub and Candy are in the pool
then turn south of the building, on the large building there is a ledge that
you can land on directly across from the pool, you can land here and then
just take the 3 pics and fly off back to the film studio without anyone
hassling you or getting a shot in on you.
IV G-Spotlight
Tommy decides the film needs more publicity, so he will set the spotlights
to show an interesting image. But in order to get there he has to take a
bike and jump from roof to roof. Frankly, this is too hard to be done on
a bike, so continue jumping from roof to roof as the early jumps are easy.
I discovered this when I didn't make a jump, well no, Tommy made the jump
alright, my bike didn't. It was near Hyman Condo and I knew there was a
helicopter on the roof so I headed for that to see if using it would work,
which it did! So do jump to jump till you get fairly near to Hyman Condo
and then just get in the Maverick and fly from building to building, landing
in each marker. Then, land next to the spotlight and turn it on, and Hey
Presto! Mission Complete.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:ADSLMikey/MClayden
This mission is simple, rather than messing around with the PCJ, if you
go to the office where you need to jump from window to window and just
break the first window to start the course, then drop to the floor, hunt
around that area and there should be a set of stairs leading up to a police
maverick copter. Just steal the copter and fly through each checkpoint in the
course, negating the need to keep trying to jump from gap to gap.
***************************************************************************
6.0 Vehicle Missions
These can be turned on by pressing R3 in certain Cars, or by getting into
certain cars in certain locations.
**************************************************************************
6.1 Vigilante Missions
These can be turned on in a Police Car, Enforcer, Undercover Cheetah,
FBI Rancher, FBI Washington, Rhino and the Hunter. I am not sure about the
Barracks OL or the VCPD Maverick - OK, I just confirmed that you can't do
Vigilante missions in either of those two vehicles. Oddly enough,
Vigilante missions in the Hunter are called "Brown Thunder" which sounds
kinda weird if you ask me, as the Hunter is green...
What do I have to do?
Kill criminals within the time limit
What's it worth?
If you do 15 missions your max armor increases to 150.
And a hell of a lot of cash(I got $3,000,000 by the time I failed a mission,
I was on like Level 55 or something)
How do I do it?
Drive by the Suckers! or if in a Tank, Crush or shoot em! Or Do whatever
you want if you're in a Hunter
But, there is an easy way:
- Take a Cop Car or whatever to one of your garages
- Press R3 and then get out the car
- Get out the garage and move back till the door closes
- Enter the Blow up all Cars Code(see section on cheats)
- Get back in the car
- Repeat
Now that's what I call easy money!
**************************************************************************
6.2 Paramedic Missions
These Can be turned on in an Ambulance, suprisingly enough.
What Do I have to do?
Take Patients to Hospital within the time limit
What's it worth?
If you get to Mission Level 12, you can sprint forever!
and probably a tidy amount of cash by the end of it too
How Do I do it?
Drive quickly, but carefully, as near dead people don't have much chance of
surving car wrecks. Put the Siren on to get
people out of your way.
***************************************************************************
6.3 Firefighter Missions
These can be turned on in a........ Fire Truck!
What Do I have to do?
Extinguish Burining cars within the time limit
What's it worth?
Well if you get to Mission Level 12, you will never be set on fire again!
and again, probably a tidy amount of cash will be yours at the end of it.
How do I do it
The fire truck is a cumbersome beast, but will slam anyone who doesn't hear
your siren out of the way. Don't swerve for anyone, unless it's a cop of
course.The hose is a nasty thing to rotate into position, too.
***************************************************************************
6.4 Taxi Driver Missions
Not to be confused with Kaufman Cabs Missions
Gee, I wonder what kind of vehicles Taxi Drivers Drive... I'll give you a
hint, Taxis, Cabbies, Kaufman Cabs and Zebra Cabs can all do Taxi Driver
missions
What Do I have to do?
Deliver people to their destination within the time limit
What's it worth?
Erm, if you do 100 Fares in total, Taxis have hydraulics!
And all those lovely fares will be yours too
How Do I do it?
Just drive quickly, you are given more than enough time, just don't do
anything crazy. Also, if you drop someone off at their location with 0
seconds left on the clock, there's no more time limit.
**************************************************************************
6.5 Pizza Boy Missions
Can be activated on a Pizza Boy bike, which can be found behind Well
Stacked Pizza
What do I have to do?
Deliver People their pizza, within the time limit
Whats it worth
Get to Mission Level 10 and your maximum Health increases to 150
and all those lovely tips too
How do I do it?
Just weave in and out of traffic on the bike, you throw pizza like you
would do a drive-by. Try to be stationary when you throw them, otherwise
it's likely you'll miss.
***************************************************************************
6.6 Other Car Missions
These are just the ones I have discovered, there's probably much much more
out there, and no I can't remember their names but does that really matter?
I have just had a very unpleasing two hours, I have been doing a lot of these
missions, and writing down each checkpoint in a little notebook, in blue pen
and varying coloured pencils(Green, purple, brown) I didn't do the Stadium,
because it is easy to do, the Dirt Track missions, because they are straight-
forward so you won't need my help, the RC Races (but I did the chopper one
though) because although they are checkpoint based, they are races, and finally
PCJ Playground, because I forgot ^_^;; but I already covered the hardest parts
of that anyway.
Hyman Memorial Stadium
Go in their between 20.00 and 23.59 to activate one of these missions
- Dirtbike: Just take your time over the balancing checkpoints, and
go as fast as you can on the ramped ones.
- Bloodring: I don't know if this is just me, but my car seems to spend half
it's time on it's side in here. Just try to get the Checkpoints before time
runs out, the first time it's a minute, just avoid any and all trouble and
you should make it to the checkpoints
- Hotring: Try to get away from the pack as quickly as possible or you'll
probably catch fire. If damaged, use the pits! When starting, stick to the
right and dodge right past everyone. Stick to the inside lane unless there is
a blockage
Offroad missions
- PCJ Playground - Get on PCJ north of the VCPD HQ, ie the one you can go
inside, up a slope in the grass. It's kinda hard to see, but just go up
the north road and look for a grass slope to your right. The mission itself
isn't a barrel of laughs either, You have to navigate a PCJ-600 along the
side streets and rooftops.
For the second stair jump(ie up those massive flights of stairs) make sure
you aim slightly to the left, for there is a checkpoint on the roof
opposite, and you can either overshoot and go flying off the building,
or undershoot and smash right into it.If you make it over the building
point your nose down, and as you are to the left, you will just clip the
checkpoint.
The last checkpoint is also nasty, as again you can over or undershoot. I
can't really give you any more advice other than I did before:Aim left
and keep your nose down if you are going high.
- Trial By Dirt - get onto the Sanchez parked near the dirt track,
there's no time limit to this one, you just get pursued by 3 Haitians
withmachetes who are on Black Sanchez's. Ignore these losers, they can't
touch you till you leave your vehicle and when you do, shoot them!
- Test Track - Landstalker next to the above Sanchez, this is quite nasty
although there is no time limit, and it's hard purely because the
Landstalker is hell bent on rolling whenever you take a turn, so take
each one VERY carefully.
- Cone Crazy - Get in Stallion on Multistory in Ocean Beach. For this
one, you cannot hit any cones, and there are checkpoints in between cones
with very small gaps in. Although there is a time limit(you get 11 seconds
for each checkpoint passed) you should TAKE YOUR TIME, one false move and
a cone will break.
OK, this is in the order I did them in, but I guess you might not really be
able to recognise them from my descriptions, for which I apologise but you
will get the gist.
1) Straight ahead from the start, the cones are in kind of an S-Shape. Just
be careful of the middle cone, and you should be OK
2) In-between a T-Shape of cones at the north end of the Car Park. Go through
the big gap in a straight line to the cone, so you can easily reverse out
without having to line up
3) Up the ramp that will be straight ahead of where you are now, although
there is a time limit, don't take it too quick as you could end up smashing
the "divider cone" which will also be smashed if you try to get to the other
checkpoint up the ramp, so don't even bother trying.
4) In a tight turn of cones, on the other side of the Car Park, you may
knock one over(I did!) but that shouldn't smash it so keep on going
5) The last one is the other one up the ramp, going up the ramp isn't as
easy this time as a cone is guarding part of it, just keep to the left side
of the ramp to avoid it, and you will complete the mission with a minimal
amount of fuss.
Sparrow Challenges
I wrote all these up, If "No Problem" is written on them, it means that
you shouldn't have a major problem in getting them.
- Downtown Challenge:Head towards the office which was your starting point
for G-Spotlight, and you will see it just outside the doors. No time limit,
just fly around getting checkpoints.
1) On top of an Aerial quite high up, No Problem
2) Inside the Fire Station compound, beware of the rotor blades scraping
the fence or the building itself and you should be OK
3) Low in a Street, beware of Lamposts and Walls
4) High in a Street, No Problem
5) Roof of Ammunation, don't go in too fast or you will smash into
something
6) Roof of small building, again take it slow or you will crash into the
wall, and we don't want that to happen now do we?
7) Roof of building, No Problem
8) High in a Street, No Problem
9) Same as before, High in a Street, No Problem
10) Low in a Street, No Problem
11) Again, Low in a Street, but this time watch out for Lamposts
12) Roof of Building, No Problem
13) Low in a Street, be careful of the corner of the building in 12)
14) Low in a Street, be careful of lamp posts
15) To the right of a street, no problem
16) Around the Corporate Art Statue, no problem, just go slowly to
avoid the roof
17) Again, Around the Corporate Art Statue, only the other side of it,
again, no problem, just go slowly to avoid smashing into the roof.
18) In front of a building, No Problem
19) On Top of the same building, you will need to gain a lot of height
quickly, so reverse the helicopter then gain height, otherwise you
will most likely end up ramming the building which could end your
Sparrow run with disasterous consequences.
20) In Mid-Air, No Problem
21) Just inside the "hole" of the building with "holes" in it. It's
the one in the Unique Jump from the office, (G-Spotlight)
22) At the End of the "hole" of the building with "holes" in it. Just
take your time going down the "hole's" corridor so you don't crash into
the ceiling or something
23) Low on the Starting Building, No Problemo
24) Low in a Street, Look out for Telegraph Poles and Buildings as you
can easily hit them accidentally (Or indeed deliberately, if you were
weird enough...)
25) Low in a Street, No Problem
26) Again, Low in a Street, No Problem
27) Yet again, Low in a Street, careful for one of those overhead traffic
light thingys
28) Middle of a Street, No Problem
29) For the last one, just be careful of the Palm Trees around it and you
will be fine
Hmm, 29. That seems like an odd number, so I might have missed one, oh well
- Vice Point Challenge:It's in a back garden opposite your Links View
appartment. No time limit, just fly around getting checkpoints
1) Low, Next to a Building, No Problem
2) Low in a Street, Just be careful of the Palm Trees around it, you
may just end up hitting them without expecting it
3) High, in a Street, there is a threat from a Palm Tree, just keep to
the left when you fly around the corner to get to it
4) Low in a Street, No Problem
5) High in a Street, No Problem
6) Low, over a building, No Problem
7) Low, in the little area in Front of the North Point Mall, don't take the
corner too fast or you might smash into the tan coloured building
8) Low in a Street, No Problem
9) Low in a Street, Beware of the overhanging Traffic Lights in between 8)
and 9), for they could be your downfall
10) High in a Street, No Problem
11) Again, High in a Street, No Problem
12) Low in a Street, No Problem
13) Low over a grassy embankment, you might face a couple of problems from
nearby palm trees
14) High in a Street, No Problem
15) Low in a Street, No Problem
16) Low, next to a building. This is the hardest pick up for the Vice Chopper
Checkpoint bit, because EVERYTHING, well not everything but close enough to it,
is out to get you. Plants on the Roof, Trees, two of the sides of the building,
you name it, it's there. Try to stay to the left if you are are coming from the
opposite end of the building
17) On top of the Links View Appartment, No Problem
17, again, a weird number.
- Ocean Beach Get in sparrow above pinkish orange kind of building that is
behind the building on stilts, it's where you end up after doing PCJ Playground.
1) Low in a Street, No Problem
2) Low in a Street, You might smash into lamposts or into the awning of the
building opposite the Multi-Storey.
3) Low in an Alley, No Problem
4) Low in a Street, You might face a problem with traffic trying to get
under your rotor blades
5) Medium height over a corner of the Building around the Multi-Storey, No
Problem
6) Low in a Street, You may smash into some Palm Trees so watch it
7) Low in a Street, No Problem
8) On top of a Building, No Problem
9) Low in an Alley, you could end up colliding with the side of a building

11) High in a Street, No Problem
12) Low in a Street, No Problem

14) Low in a Street, No Problem
15) High above Building, No Problem
16) Low over a building, No Problems should arise
17) Low, over a front garden, you might end up Tangoing with some Trees(of
the Palm variety, I just didn't mention it then because it created
alliteration) if you aren't careful and steady
Another 17, hmm.
- Little Haiti Get in sparrow on Rooftop, if you look on the in-game map,
it is just on the top right hand corner of the "K" icon of Kaufman Cabs,
it's not actually AT Kaufman Cabs by the way.
The Sparrow challenges are quite hard, because the checkpoints are put in
places designed to make you crash, just take your time.
1) In an Alley, Be careful of the two buildings that make the alley, the
best way to do it is to fly over the little building on the left so that
about half the Sparrow goes through the checkpoint and half goes over the
small building, this should avoid smashing into the big building
2) On top of a House, be careful of the wall and Telegraph Poles
3) On top of a Building, No Problem
4) On top of a House, No Problem
5) Alley next to Kaufman Cabs, the main problem is getting to it because
there are a lot of buildings and telegraph poles that would like nothing
better than to see your chopper a burning wreck, so try to fly above them
all. Drop down to get the actual checkpoint, which itself is easy to get.
6) Next to Kaufman Cabs, No problem
7) Middle of a Street, No Problem
8) Low in a Street, No Problem
9) Low in a Street, Careful when you are getting to it, (ie not when you
are getting it) because there are some trees and signs which could catch
one of your rotor blades and send you down to the ground
10) On top of Building, No Problem
11) Low in a Street, No Problem
12) Again, Low in a Street, No Problem
13) In the Middle of a Basketball Court, just be careful of the surrounding
wire fence
14) Low in a Street, No Problem
15) Over a building, No Problemo
16) Low in a Street, Your main threats are Traffic and Telegraph Poles, so
try to stay clear of them if you can
17) Over a building, No Problem
18) Again, Over a building, No Problem
19) In an alley-ish place, be careful of the building in front when you have
actually collected the checkpoint.
20) On Top of a Building, no Problem
21) Again, Over a building, No Problem
21? I'm beginning to think all these odd numbers were deliberate!
RC Challenges
- RC Bandit Race- Northeast Ocean Beach Unfortunately, you can't smash into
the other RC Cars. Try to take each corner Slowly, otherwise you'll end
up trying to go over the walls, and will cost you valuable places.
Just concentrate on the race, and completely ignore the other cars, as
if you try too hard to overtake them, you will end up losing it all. If
you drive OK, you should beat them easily.
- RC Baron Race- Top of North Point Mall parking garage on First Island
It isn't hard to totally blow away all the other planes, it is hard to
go through every checkpoint, so make sure you line yourself up perfectly,
I know I have failed this mission many times through missing a checkpoint
I thought I was heading towards.
- RC Raider Pickup- Escobar Airport Entrance The van is somewhere in the
airport, If you look on your in-game map, there's a little road just
above the words "Legend:ON" it's off there.It basically involves flying
an RC Helicopter around a course in the airport. This is probably the
HARDEST RC Challenge, this is because some of the locations are not what
I'd call nice to get to - one is under an airplane for example. And guess
what? There are twenty of them! TAKE YOUR TIME! I cannot stress this enough,
or you will end up with your rotor blades grinding the wall and your chopper
detonating, which is NOT something you want, especially if you were just
about to get the last pickup. The Helicopter is exactly what I'd call easy
to control either!.This took me about 8 minutes, quite a long
time for a mission of this sort really.(Took me 20 when re-playing it for
the info below, but that's cause I had to stop and land the chopper so I
could write it all down!)
1) On Top of Cargo Crate, No Problem
2) Centre of Heli-Pad, No Problem
3) Runway, No Problem
4) On Top of a Radar Building, Line up the Helicopter before going in for
the kill.(Well, there is no kil
