Frequently Asked Questions 9. Credits /=============================================================================\ | 1. First Things First | \=============================================================================/ Before you get out and start causing some serious damage, it is a good idea to know the basics of your surroundings so you know what you are getting yourself into. 1: One of the moves that you will be using most is the drive-by. Firstly to drive-by you will need an Uzi. Once you have one, as soon as you enter a car, it will come up as you selected item. To actually perform the drive by, you must hold L2 or R2 to look left or right and press the Circle button to fire. You will be able to see some white lines coming from the car, which is the bullets. You can line the front of the car up with the person or object you want to destroy for a more accurate result. A new feature to Vice City, is the ability to shoot forward on a motorbike. This is exactly the same as a drive-by except that you press Circle when facing forward. This makes things like destroying cars or motorbikes a lot easier, so learn how to master it early so that you can get the most out of it. 2: To target people with your gun, you must hold R1 and a target will appear a round the person who causes the most threat to you. To kill a large group of people quickly or just to scroll through the enemies to the one that you want to kill, press either L2 or R2 while you are still holding R1. Using this method, you can kill a lot more people in a lot less time. 3: When you are on foot, you can also go into first person view and look around using the right analog stick. You cannot aim or walk around in this view but it helps when you want to look around when exploring. 4: Another new feature, new to Vice City, is the in menu map when you pause the game this map can come extremely useful when trying to locate things around Vice City. It will also show all the icons that appear on the radar, so you will not only be able to learn where everything is in Vice City a lit easier, but, you will be able to locate where all your objectives are without you having to get close. Another good thing about it, is that you can zoom in to any part of the map to get a more accurate look at it. /=============================================================================\ | 2. The Story So Far | \=============================================================================/ Please note that this guide will contain many SPOILERS, so if you don't want the story ruined then don't use this guide. Also if you want to play through GTA VC without using any guides then get out of this document NOW because that is the main purpose of this guide, to help others where they may be stuck in the main part of the game, the missions. Welcome to the 1980's. Having just been released back onto the streets of Liberty City after 15 years in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. Sonny were understandably nervous about Tommy's re-appearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seems like a good idea. But when Tommy gets to Vice City, all does not go so good for his first drug deal. He's set up and is left and looses all his money and Coke that Sonny entrusted. Sonny Forelli is not at all happy by this news, and demands that Tommy get his money back. A little short of allies, a crooked Laywer by the name of Ken Rosenberg, is the only real friend Tommy has left. With huge connections in the Vice City underworld, Tommy finds himself a bit of luck. Now you have to do whatever you can to make some money to repay his old boss Sonny. /=============================================================================\ | 3. Main Missions | \=============================================================================/ First off there is a few things in this section that I will say or use to make writing this easier and less complicated. To make this easier for me and for you to read, I am going to write this in a list as I will add things as I think of them and use them. Well here I go. - The first thing you should realize is that when I use the statement 'Get into a car.' This doesn't mean that you HAVE to get into a car. This means get anything from a car to a motorbike. Its just easier for me instead of having to write 'get a car or motorbike' every single time. - Another thing I may generalize is weapons. Because there is more then one of each type of weapon, I will just generalize. For example, there is no weapon called and 'Uzi' but this gerneralizes weapons like the Ingram Mac 10 and Tech 9. The same goes with things like shotguns ans sniper rifles and so on. - You may also want to note that most of my strategies require you to have collected all or most of the 100 hidden packages. This is because, once for every 10 packages you collect you will get a cool reward at your hideout. So it is a good idea to start collecting as soon as you gain access to the west island. Some of the things you unlock are guns, choppers with gun turrets and the Rhino tank. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | An Old Friend | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: N/A Needed: Nothing Receive: Safehouse, New Boss: Ken Rosenberg Mission Difficulty: 1/10 dead easy Objective: Get to your hotel in Ocean Beach and talk to Sonny. This is the introduction mission of the game and you will be given pointers as you go. After the intro cut-scene, get into the car, or onto the bike that is behind you or run around and get whatever car you want. Once you have a set of wheels you need to follow the pink dot on the radar. Its not that hard to get there, all you need to do is, head east and you will eventually get to the beach. Just follow the road closest to the beach south and you will come to the dot. Also, while you are driving, you will hear a warning on the radio that all the bridges are closed due to a storm warning. This means that you are stuck on this island for a while. Anyway, once you get to your hotel, stop in the pink marker and get out of the car. Now go up the stairs and into the hotel. Once you are inside, you can save by running over the pink tape icon and then run into the pink marker and you will ring Sonny. In the cut-scene, Tommy, will tell Sonny, they were set up and has lost the money and Sonny will demand Tommy get the money back. Now after the cut-scene, you will be free to roam around and do what you want, but when you are ready, follow the 'L' icon on the radar, to get to your next mission. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Ken Rosenberg | \=============================================================================/ Location: At his office in Washington Beach. You can get there by following the 'L' icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | The Party | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $100 Needed: Nothing Receive: Street outfit delivered to safehouses, Soiree outfit delivered to Rafael's. Mission Difficulty: 1/10 Objective: Drop by Rafael's and get some new cloths then go to the party at the Colonel's boat. After the party, take Mercedes to the Pole Position Club. It seems that Ken is too spooked to leave his office and he was invited to go to a party. Oh well, looks like you have to go. But first you need to go to Rafeal's to get some new cloths. So get a car and follow the shirt icon on the radar and you will get to the shop. Rafael's is in Ocean Drive and isn't too far away. Once you are there, get out of the car and run into the pink marker and you will change cloths. You will also see a guy get off his bike, so if you want to take that, you can. When you are ready, follow the pink dot on the radar and you will come to the docks in Ocean Beach. Just head south and you will be on the right track. Once you get there You will see a pink marker so get stop in it and you will see a cut-scene. In here you will see some of the more important people of Vice City. Mercedes will then want to get out of there and will ask you to take her to the Pole Position Club. Get on a bike or in a car, and follow the pink dot. The club isn't far, so it shouldn't take too long to get there. When you do just stop in the pink marker and Mercedes will get off and go into the club. WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON?!?. You call this pay? NOTE: You will now be able to change cloths whenever you want. The outfits appear all over Vice City depending on where you got them from or what kind of cloths they were. To change your outfit, just go to wherever the outfit has been delivered and run into the pink shirt icon that is there and you will change into those cloths. Also note that if you have a wanted level of one or two stars when you change into new cloths, you will loose your wanted level. However, if you have three or more stars, this will do nothing. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Back Alley Brawl | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $200 Needed: Any gun will do. Receive: Mission Difficulty: 2/10 Objective: Go to The Malibu club and meet Kent Paul. Then go find a chef and kill him. First off, if you don't have a gun, then follow the gun icon on the radar and it will take you to the closest Ammunation store. Buy a few guns (the Uzi would be better if you can afford it). You may have to kill a few people or do some taxi missions to get the money. Now get some wheels and you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar. Just head north and you will get there. You may want to use the map that is on the menu screen to see where you have to go. This helps a lot as you can see where you have to go exactly and can plan a route to get there. You will easily recognize The Malibu club as at night it is all lit up with pink and green lights. Once you have found it, run into the pink marker and you will enter the club. Kent will talk about a chef, so now you have to go pay him a visit. To find the chef, follow the yellow dot on the radar south and it will take you to an alleyway. You will see a chef with a pink arrow above him. Go close to him and you will exchange a few words before you will fight. Just shoot him a few times of you have a gun, or just fist fight him. He's not hard to kill, just keep shooting him or hit him with a meelee weapon. Once he is dead, you will have to take his pistol. Run up to where his body is and the cell phone is glowing white. Take the cell phone and a cut-scene will begin. Here you will meet Lance (the person in the Helicopter in the intro) and he will say you just silenced his l eader. More chefs will come out and Lance will give you a Colt 47, if you don't already have one, and then run. Kill the three chefs and take the Meat Cleavers they have. Now if you have lost Lance, just follow the yellow dot on the radar and it will lead to a silver Infernus with an arrow above it, on the street. You will have to go though the back alleys to get there though. Lance will tell you that you should pack some heat and will tell you to go to the nearest Ammunation shop. To get there, just follow the gun icon on the radar and it will take you to the Ammunation in Ocean Beach. You may want to be careful with Lance's car, because it won't take too much damage before it blows and Lance won't get out so you will fail. When you get to Ammunation, Stop in the pink marker. And you will learn how to buy some weapons. Get out and buy some if you want, but when you are ready, follow the pink dot back to your hotel in Ocean Beach. Its not very far and when you get close to it, your will get out and Lance will take off in his car. After a while of walking around, the cell phone you stole will ring and you can answer it by pressing L1. The person who rang is looking for Leo (the chef you killed earlier) and you will try to pretend you have been left in charge, but the person will hang up. NOTE: I said this earlier but when you pause the game, you can view a map of the whole of Vice City. It will show where you are and all other icons are like the Pay 'N' Spray and Ammunation. It will also show the mission dots/icons, which comes in very handy as you can work out what direction you need to go and how far away you are from it. Basically, it helps dramatically when you are trying to navigate around and look for things. For example, in GTA3, if you had the cops on you and needed to find the Pay 'N' Spray, you could search around endlessly looking for it if you didn't know the area well. In Vice City all you have to do is either pause the game and use the map or use the radar and follow the icon to the Pay 'N' Spray. How handy is that. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jury Fury | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $400 Needed: Nothing Receive: Hammer, Payphone Mission #1 Mission Difficulty: 2/10 Objective: Make two jury members change their minds. When you start, a car will run over someone in front of you and the person will drop a hammer. Run up and get it even if you already have a Melee weapon. If you already have one, then press L1 when you are standing on the weapon and you will switch it. Now get a car and you will notice two yellow dots on the radar. It doesn't matter which order you deal with the cars but you have to do both. The dot north of Rosenberg's office will take you just south of The Malibu club to a building you must go up a ramp driveway to get to. When you get to one of the people cars get out of your car and make sure you have the Melee weapon equipped. Run up to the car and continually hit the O Button and you will dent the car. Try and hit every panel on the car and eventually the owners of the cars will come and you will have a word to them. With the one that is at the restaurant, he will try to take off, but don't worry because he will smash into a truck. Then just continue to smash every panel and you should eventually pass the mission. After the mission is over, wander around for a bit and you will get two calls. The first is Sonny checking up on Tommy and his money. And the second will be from a mysterious person who will tell you to go to the payphone next to the mall in Washington. This figure will ring 4 times throughout the game and you will be able to work for him. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Riot | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: Melee weapon, Pistol Receive: New Boss: Avery Carrington, Colonel Juan Cortez Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Go to Rafael's to get the overall outfit and then go to Spand Ex to start a riot. Then destroy the company's vans. If you don't have a Melee weapon, then go to Bunch of Tools and get something and the Ammunation in Ocean beach for a firearm. Any will fo but an Uzi is better. When you start the mission, get a car and follow the shirt icon to Rafael's again. Its not far and is in Ocean Beach. When you get there, run into the pink marker and you will change into the overall outfit. OK, now that you blend in, its off to Spand Ex. To get there follow the pink dot on the radar it will take you north to near a few construction sites. When you drive though the front gate, you will be told to start a fight with 4 people to start a riot. This is simple. Just pull out a Melee weapon and just hit anyone. You only have to hit them one and then continue onto someone else. Once you have hit 4 people, the workers will start fighting and the gate will open and the guards will attack. Run into the new area and you are told to destroy all the vans. First shoot all the guards to get them all out of the way, and then look next to the vans and you will see a red barrel. You will be able to lock on to it. Get to the other side of the yard and shoot it and it will destroy all the vans next to it. There is a barrel on each side of the yard, to destroy all the vans. There is two vans on one side and one on the other. With the van that is on its own, you will have to more it closer to the barrel otherwise it won't blow. But if you do get left with a van, you will have to shoot at it and if all else fails, then ram it into everything you see until it explodes. After the mission wander around for a bit and you will get a call from Colonel Juan Cortez saying he is in a little trouble and will offer you some work. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Colonel Juan Cortez | \=============================================================================/ Location: This guy is located at the very south of the east island. He is in his boat, which is docked at the Marina in Ocean Beach. You can get there by following the 'C' icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Treacherous Swine | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $250 Needed: Nothing Receive: Chainsaw Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Go and kill Gonzalez at his penthouse. Then go to the Pay 'N' Spray to lose the cops. All right, the mighty chainsaw! Once you get control, get in the Cheetah that is near the docks, and follow the pink dot on the radar to Gonzalez's penthouse in Vice Point, just north of The Malibu club. When you get there, make sure to park your car so that it is facing south and at The Malibu club. Now run up the stairs of the building and you will run into the pink marker. A cut-scene will take place. Once it has finished, run over and kill the two men that run at you with the chainsaw. Now run down the stairs and Gonzalez will take off outside into the streets. Now get into your car and if you parked it facing the Malibu club, they you should be able to just drive forward and run him over. However, if you are on a motorbike and have an Uzi, you can press circle while looking forward to shoot forward. If you aim correctly, you should be able to hit Gonzalez and stop him. Once you kill Gonzalez, the cops will be onto you and you will need to get to the Pay 'N' Spray in Vice Point. Here it is strongly advised you get a car instead of a motorbike because the cops will be able to hit you and throw you off your bike, while if you have a car, they can only ram you. To get to the Pay 'N' Spray, just follow the pink dot north and you will come to it. Once you get there, pull into the garage and you will lose you wanted level. Pull out of the garage and you will pass the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Mall Shootout | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 Needed: Ingram Mac 10 Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Go to the Mall and get a chip of the courier. For this mission, you need to get to the mall. Its not very far at all, only a couple of blocks in fact. If you need some guns (which you will) then follow the gun icon on the radar to an Ammunation store and buy an Uzi. Once you are ready, follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to the mall in Washington Beach. When you get close to the mall, you will be told about the dot when it points up or down. If it is pointing up, your target is higher then you but if it is lower then you are higher. And if it is just a dot, they you are both at the same level. Once you get to the mall, find a way in and ride the elevator, that is in the middle, to the top. At the top of the stairs, is the guy you need to see and he has an arrow above him. But it seems the courier has shot off and you need to follow him. To keep tabs on him, he is the yellow dot on the radar. Run down the elevator and go through the north exit and you will find a nice PCJ 600. Get on it and then follow the yellow dot as the courier has a bike too. To take him down, just shoot forwards (press circle when facing forward and you will fire. Only fire when you are close behind him. Otherwise, the courier will often fall off his bike. Use this as an opportunity to kill him before he can get up. Once he is dead, take the package he dropped and you will need to head back to the Colonel's boat. You will also have a two star wanted level, which you should be able to handle, but if you can't get a car instead of bike. Once you get back to the marina, run into the marker and you will complete the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Guardian Angels | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: Uzi, 100% Health and Armour Receive: New Boss; Ricardo Diaz Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Go and get some firepower at the multi-story car park and then go and protect Diaz and Lance during the deal. If you don't have an Uzi weapon or some armour, then go and get one before the mission at an Ammunation store. Once you enter the mission, get a car and follow the yellow dot on the radar, which will take you to the multi-story car park. You will go down a kind of alleyway and they up a ramp and on the first floor to your right will be a weapon with an arrow above it and a yellow halo. This is a Ruger and when you pick it up, Lance will come in his car. He will introduce himself and will offer to come with you. Now get into his car or any other one and go back down into the streets and follow the pink dot on the radar. This will take you to one of the back alleys down the hotel strip in the Ocean and Washington Beach area. You can look at the map to get an exact location and when you find it stop in the pink marker and Diaz will show up. Now you need to find a good vantage point. To the right of the alley, you will find a set of stairs, go up them and at the top will be another marker. Make sure you have an Uzi eqipped though before you run into it. When you do go into the marker, some Cubans will come and the deal will start. You will also get to bars appear on the screen one is Lance's and the other is Diaz's health. You have to make sure they do not run out otherwise either will die and you will fail the mission. Run back down to the bottom and stay near Diaz and his men. After a while some Haitians will come and attack use the Uzi to quickly lock onto them and kill them. Once three cars have come, a few cars will come from behind you so turn around and shoot at them. Once all the Haitians are dead, a cut-scene will take place where two Haitians on dirt bikes will come and take the money. But as they take off, one will get shot and fall off his bike. Now for some reason, you will be at the top of the stairs again. Jump down and get the bike that is on the floor (it will have an arrow above it) and chase after the other Haitian. You should see him far off in the background, so just head south through the alleyways until you catch the Haitian. It shouldn't take too long to catch him and once you get close enough behind him shoot forward and he should fall off the bike and drop the money. Now get off the bike and pick up the briefcase with an arrow above it and you will be told to take it back to Diaz. Just head back the way you came and if you get lost, then follow the pink dot on the radar. If you get some police on you, there is a police bribe down the alley. Once you get back to where Diaz is, run into the marker by his car, and Diaz will take off. After the mission hang around for a bit and you will get a call from Ricardo and he will offer you some work. NOTE: You cannot complete the Colonel's last two missions just yet, so go and do some of Avery's and Diaz's and he will ring you once you complete one of the missions later on called 'Phnom Penh '86'. Also note that you can now access Starfish Island, which is where all the mansions and rich people live. Also note that Diaz's car is bulletproof, so if you want to take it then you get the chance and take it to a garage, you will have yourself a hell of a car. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Sir, Yes Sir! | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: Nothing Receive: M4 Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Go and steal the piece of Military hardware and take it to the lock up. When you are given control, get into the Cheetah and follow the yellow dot on the radar over to the west island. The yellow dot is traveling down the main highway on the west island and is a huge escort of military vehicles and men, who are guarding a Rhino (a tank.) When you get near it, you will need to find a way to stop the convoy. This is easy. Just stop in front of the Rhino and the convey will stop and a guard will get into your car and drive it out of the way. Now you will need to be quick and get into the tank before you can get killed or anything else happens. Pull the guy out of the tank and you will get inside and have a three star wanted level. Quickly drive off before anyone can bust you and run into the Barrack OL in front of you. It should blow up and then kill anyone else that is in your way. You can also use the turret and move it with the right anolog stick and fire with the circle button. Don't worry about the tank blowing up because it can take hue amounts of damage and it is VERY unlikely you can gain enough damage to blow the tank up in the time you have. You also should here that the army has set the sel-destruct sequence on the tank and a gauge will appear on the screen. This is constantly being filled and when it is full, the tank will self-destruct so you will have to be quick. If you kill the military men, they will drop M4s, which you can get out of the tank and get if you want. Follow the pink dot on the radar, which will take you to Little Havana. When you get to the pink dot (it may look like it is in an alley but it is on the side of the road it is closest to on the radar). When you get to the lock up, stop in the pink marker and the garage door will open and you will be able to drive in. Once the tank is in the garage, get out and run outside and you will pass this mission. NOTE: You will not be able to complete the colonel's last mission until you a bit later on. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By SausageRollShady2003 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ When you get up to the tank without causing trouble follow the tank. After a short while the tank will stop and an Recruit will be told to get some donuts then the door is unlocked the tank is stopped and is yours for the taking...then just do the usual stuff to get to the garage /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By GeorgiaIsHot \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ When you are on the main highway of the West Island, instead of charging in and having a full-blown showdown, follow the tank down toward the docks. When it stops, and the driver gets out, you can quickly jump in and drive away, before the army even know whats happening! Now mess, no fuss, and most importantly, no pain!! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | All Hands on Deck | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $ Needed: Rocket launcher Receive: Katana Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Protect the Colonel's boat from the attacking French army. For this mission, the rocket launcher comes in VERY handy, so if you haven't got enough packages to get one ouside your hideout, they you can go and get one at the Hooker's Hotel, just north of Sunshine Auto's at Escobar International Airport. Anyway, make sure that you have a rocket launcher and when you are ready, enter the pink marker and you will be briefed on what is going on. You will see that the French army has come after you and they will get into some boats and follow after you. When you get control, you will hear that the French are attacking from Starboard so go down the steps on the left (when facing the front of the ship). The steps are at the very back of the ship and at the bottom, you will find a long thin path. Using the Rocket Launcher, look out to see and you will see some boats drive by. Blow them up but be careful not to aim too low and hit the rail. Once both boats have been eliminated, you will hear once of the deck hands yell that you are being attacked from port. Go back up to the top deck and then g down the steps on the opposite side of the ones you just used. There will only be one boat here, but once it is destroyed, you will go to a cut-scene where you will find your path is blocked by a line of boats. From one of the stairs, run to the front of the boat and fire a few rockets out at the boats to kill the men that are on them. You will also see a few dingys driving around the boat, and some other boats. Use the Ruger you are given or any other assault rifle to kill and destroy as many of them as you can. Eventually two choppers will come by and drop some men off on the ship. Get out the Rocket Launcher and blow both of them up before they have a chance to land. While you are doing this, be careful because a few French men will get on the ship and shoot at you. Once both choppers are down, a Hunter will come and start shooting at the ship. Just fire a few rockets at it and it will go down. Now you will have to go up front and clear the boats that are blocking the ship. All you have to do is shoot at the boat up front until the blow up. After this, you will have a word with the Colonel before he leaves you is Speeder to get back to land on. NOTE: You will not be able to complete this mission until you have finished the mission "Death Row'. Also once you finish this mission, The Colonel will give you a boat to get back onto land with. The closest place to dock is around the Leaf Links. However, the easiest is if you go to the back of your mansion and dock at the jetty that is there. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Avery Carrington | \=============================================================================/ Location: You can find Avery at his construction yard in Vice Point by following the 'A' icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Four Iron | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 Needed: Motorbike Receive: Membership pass to Leaf Leaks Golf Club, Country Club outfit delivered to Leaf Links. Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Go to Jocksports and get some golfing cloths and then go down to the golf course and kill the target at the shooting range. Before you enter this mission, make sure that you come with a motorbike. When you enter the mission, you will need to follow the shirt icon on the radar to Jocksports. This shop isn't far and when you get there run into the pink marker and you will change into some golf clothes. Now you need to go to the Leaf Links Golf Club. The golf club isn't far at all. Just head left from the clothes shop when facing north and right into a driveway and you are basically there. Stop in the pink marker and you will see that the target is at the shooting range. Now if you are on a motorbike, just drive though the metal detector and the bike should fit. Once you go though all your guns will be dropped and left at the front gate but don't worry because you can get them back when you leave. Now park the bike somewhere close to this building and then leave the club and get your weapons back. Now you should see a parked Comet near the entrance. Get in it and drive it to with you see though the green scanner. Go back a little so that you are viewing normally again and if you are facing the club, go in between the picket fence and the building. Now this is how you should park the car. / Fence / hedge **********/ Car* Fence * * Park the car so that it in the corner of the fence. Now you may be wondering why we did all this. Well, jump on top of the car and you should be able to jump into the golf course. Well there you go. You go a bike and some guns in. Once you are on the course, get back on your bike and follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to the shooting range. When you get there, go up the stairs and kill all the guard with a gun. Now jump down and run back onto your bike. You now need to follow the target and he is the yellow dot on the radar so you should be able to find him easy. Don't worry if you get stuck with the guards because the guy won't leave the club, as long as you are near him. If the guard in the buggy is annoying you, then pull him out and kill him. Now get back onto your bike and chase the guy. When you see him just shoot forward at him or do a drive-by and when his car catches on fire, get away from him and he will keep driving. Then when his car blows up, you will pass. Pretty easy ha! NOTE: You now have access to a new area of Vice City, the golf course. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By GeorgiaIsHot \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Once inside the golf course, run toward the blip on the radar. When you are at the driving range, you will notice a large amount of golf caddies lined up. Get in each one, and drive it a fair distance away. Now when the target notices you, he will have to run away, into a caddy you so thoughtfully drove away. It is quite simple just to run up to him, and take him out with a melee weapon, or if you got in with your weapons, to pick him off. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Dazzle /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Before you enter the mission, make sure you have the shotgun or an uzi. Enter the mission and then go get the outfit required from Jocksports (note, it doesn't matter what type of vehicle you use because it is not needed to complete the mission using this method). Enter the Leaf Links Golf Club and get into the golf buggy, go to the dot on the radar and then approach your target, this will send him running for his buggy. Jump back into your own buggy and go back to the club house, exit the golf club, picking up your weapons along the way. Now go to the car outside, turn around and face the golf club entrance. Select your shotgun/uzi and wait for your target. After about thirty seconds the target will also leave the golf club and run towards the car. Autolock your weapon and fill him with lead. Mission complete. When I used this method, I didn't even get any wanted stars and found it easier then trying to hit him with the golf club and/or positioning cars to jump the fence to keep your weapons. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Demolition Man | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Destroy the office block next to the construction site. When you start, go left and follow the yellow dot into the yard next door. Here you will find a van with 'top fun' written on it and an arrow above it. When you get into the van, you will take control of a RC chopper. You will be briefed on the controls, and I recommend that the first time just get used to the controls and then reload and do it for good. Once you are used to the control, spin the RC chopper and fly it really low over one of the four bomb with an arrow above it. If you are flying low enough you should pick it up and a timer for 7 minutes will start. Now get off the ground and higher into the air and head for the huge, blue unfinished building and on the radar you will see four pink dots. Each dot is where you must drop the bombs. There is a drop point on each floor and the drop point is like a bin and is in a pink marker. You will need to be careful though because once that chopper is destroyed, you will fail. You will also come across a few workers with hammers and guards with guns. Thy will damage the chopper is to kill them run into them with the blade of the chopper and it will kill them. Anyway, when you get to the building, go lower so that you can fit into the ground level. Look around the ground floor until you find a pink marker. Hover over it and then press circle to drop it. If you miss the target, then you will have to pick it up again by hover above it. Once you have dropped the first one correctly, follow the yellow dot on the radar back to where you are and the other three bombs. Pick up another and then go back to the construction site. Once you get back to the bottom of the site, look around the middle and you will see a set of stairs. This is how you get to the other floors. This set of stairs goes all the way to the top so you will ba able to access all the floors from here. When you get to the next level, look around until you find the next drop. Like I said before, there is one drop point on each floor and there is four floors. Once you drop all four bombs, you will see the building blow up at all four points and you will pass the mission. NOTE: You won't be able to complete Avery's last mission until later on, once you have unlocked the west island. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Two Bit Hit | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2500 Needed: Uzi Receive: New Boss: Umberto Robina Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Go and disguise yourself as a Cuban and then raid the funeral and kill a Haitian gang lord. First off you will need to go and disguise yourself as a Cuban. Grab some wheels and follow the shirt icon on the radar and it will take you over to Little Havana on the west island. When you get to the shop, run into the pink marker and you will get changed into some Cuban cloths. Now you will need to kill a Haitian gang lord. Follow the pink dot on the radar north and when you get near it, the Haitians will spot you. A car is best here so get one instead of a motorbike. The Cubans will start to shoot at you and just drive up and back drive-bying everyone that attacks you. You will see a Cuban with an arrow above him. He is the gang lord that you need to kill. However, he will take off in a car so you will have to chase him. If your car blows up, then try and get a group of Cubans around you so the explosion will kill them. Once the gang lord has left, he will be shown as a yellow dot on the radar and will have an arrow above his car, so you shouldn't lose him. If you now have a motorbike, then shoot forward at it otherwise just drive-by the car. Once it get on fire, the gang lord should run away so just kill him anyway you want and you will pass this mission. After the mission, you will get a call from a person called Umberto Robina. He will be looking for Leo (the guy you got the phone from) and when he finds out that he is dead, will offer you some work. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Ricardo Diaz | \=============================================================================/ Location: Diaz lives in his mansion on Starfish Island.

This Ricardo guy is a psycho. Anyway, when you start, go and get the Infernus that is in the front yard and follow the pink dot on the radar back over to the east island. The thief's house is in Vice Point, so once you get back onto the east island, you will have to go north. Once you get to the house, you will see the marker. But instead of going into the marker, go north and look for a Faggio in front of a yellow dumpster. Leave a fast car or PCJ 600 near it and then go back and run into the pink marker and you will need to look through the window. Go up the stairs and when you get near the window, run into the marker again and you will see the thief run off onto the roof. Follow him and when you get to the top he will shoot at you. Follow him across the roofs but don't worry as you can't fall down and don't shoot him either because your not supposed to. You should be able to see him in front of you and he will have an arrow above him. When you get near the end, the guy will shoot some barrels and they will blow up. But don't worry as you can't die but try and dodge the flames as you can catch on fire. When you get near the end of the roofs, the guy will, jump down and get into a BF Injection. Jump down as well and you will have to get the Faggio that is there or whatever you left there. Now you need to follow the guy as he drives away. He is a yellow dot on the radar and has an arrow above his head but try not to get too far behind or you will lose him and fail. What you need to do here is follow him. Do not shoot him because if you kill him you will fail. The guy will be shooting at you, so try and dodge the bullets. Also, if you got a faster car or bike, try not to get in front of the car or too close as the car often crashes and causes havoc on the road. The car will drive north and will eventually take you to a new island called Prawn Island. Eventually, the car will stop and the guy will run into a run-down house. NOTE: You now have another small island open to you called Prawn island. Like Starfish Island, there is nothing much here except for a movie studio that you will be able to buy later on. UPDATE: I have now been corrected by MIKE HUMPHIRIES, that Prawn Island is open from the start I have checked this and it is true. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Phnom Penh '86 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: Uzi, 100% health and armour. Receive: M60 Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Go to the gang house When you start this mission, you will be in a heli and have control of a gun. You won't have to worry about ammo because you have an unlimited amount. You will also have a damage metre on the screen, which is for the Heli. If it runs out, the chopper will blow up and you will fail the mission. Anyway, you can control the gun with the left analog stick and fire with the circle button, just like usual. Tommy and Lance will talk on the way and you can listen to that for a while. You won't have to shoot anything until you get to Prawn Island. Once you get there, you will see some men on the roof of that run-down house from the last mission. Try and shoot them although you may find it hard to aim with the helicopter moving so just hold the trigger and hope you hit something. There is a few red barrels on the roof that you can shoot and kill a few people. Once you have go everyone on the roof, you will move to the back where some more men will appear. Next you will move to another area, where there will be some cars and men. Destroy the cars and kill all the men that are here and you will find that there is a lot. There is a few on the cars, some on the ground and a few in the red tennis courts. Continue killing and destroying things and the chopper will soon go to another roof where there will be heaps of people. Destroy the red barrels that are here to cause lots of damage and once you kill everyone. Next spot is in front of another house and there will be a few men here too. Once you will everyone, you will move to the front of the gang house where there is a couple of guard that you will need to kill before landing. when you are on the ground you will notice that you have an M60 with 100 ammo. But save that and instead use an Uzi or weapon that you can lock onto people with. Run inside the building you are in front of using a small front door. Clear the stair of all the men and then go to the top. Turn around and kill anyone that might be there. Now go up the next set of stairs to your right and kill the guy at the top. Continue up to the top and you should see a dead guy and a briefcase with an arrow next to him. Pick up the briefcase and Lance will come back with the chopper and take you back to Starfish Island. Well done! NOTE: You now have the west island unlocked, which means you have access to the whole map now. The west island is huge and has lots of stuff on it. You can finally get the chance to fly a helicopter as well as complete all the cool stuff that is on this island. I also recommend that you get all the hidden packages so you can get all the cool items at your hideout. The hidden packages aren't as important as in GTA3 but if you collect them all, it will still make the game a little easier. Also note that you can complete the last mission for Avery. After the mission, you will also get a call from the colonel, and he will ask if you can help him, and you will have another two missions from him to complete. So much to do! /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | The Fastest Boat | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Python (recommended) Receive: Ruger Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Go and steal the fastest boat and take it back to Diaz's Mansion. Diaz wants the fastest boat around and has sent you to go and get it. When you start the mission, run and get into the Infernus parked in the driveway and head over to the west island and follow the yellow dot on the radar. This will take you to the boatyard at the very south of the west island. When you enter the boatyard, you will be shot at. Kill all the men in this area if you want and get the Rugers some of them drop. Drive forward and you will see that the boat needs to be lowered. Run inside the building that is on your right, and run to the back and you should see a switch board on the left wall with a small pink marker in front of it. Run into the marker and the boat should drop. More men will appear now, so kill them (the Python helps a lot here if you have enough hidden packages) and then run down onto the dock near the boat with an arrow above it. When you are next to it, press the Triangle button and you should get into it. You now have a three star wanted level and will need to get back to the mansion. Don't worry about your wanted level because all you should see is a helicopter or police boat. To get back to the mansion, head north and you will eventually come to the back of Starfish Island. At the back if Diaz's mansion, you will see a big pink marker, which is where you need to stop the boat. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Supply & Demand | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $10000 Needed: Nothing Receive: New Boss: Kent Paul Mission Difficulty: 7/10 very frustrating Objective: Beat the other boats to the yacht to get the drugs. This mission can get very frustrating because you can be doing good and one mistake and you will fail the mission and get caught in something. Once you have entered the mission, you will need to get to the boat. Its at the back of Diaz's mansion (where you are) so you can easily run there. Just follow the pink dot on the radar and you will come to a large pink marker. Run into it and who else should show up but Lance. Once you are out on the water, you will have control of the boat and Lance will shoot at the other boats. Once you get control of the boat, go forward and curve left and you should go under a bridge and see some other boats. Follow them and they will be driving through a small canal. This is the hard part of the mission and its not to hit anything like parked boats or dead ends. There is also a few jetties you will want to stay clear of. The boat you need to get to is located at the pink dot on the radar, so if you look at the map on the pause menu, you should be able to work out a path that you can take. Also try not to ram the boat into walls to much because like all fast vehicles, it doesn't have much health. When you get to the yacht, you will see it has an arrow above it and when you get near it, you will turn around and swap places. You now have control of the gun and Lance will be driving the boat. As soon as you start again, you will have a health gauge for the boat which once empty, the boat will blow. Start to shoot the boats that are behind you and kill the two men on each boat. Also don't worry about the thing sticking out the back of your boat because you can't hit it. You will also come to some men on a dock, who can be easily killed by shooting the red barrels behind you. These guys shouldn't cause too much damage because the boat is going pretty fast right now. As soon as you pass this dock, a Sea Sparrow will come and start shooting at you. Aim at the guy hanging out and then on blowing up the chopper. Next is another boat, which is in front of you, but there is only one with two guys on it. By now you should be coming out from under a main bridge and nearly home. Once Lance takes off in the boat, you will be left with a nice 10 grand. After this mission, you should get a call from Kent Paul saying he has something for you. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Rub Out | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $50000 Needed: 100% Health and Armour, Colt Python, Sniper Rifle Receive: New Boss: Tommy Vercetti, Love Fist, Colt M4, New Property: Vercetti Estate. Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Invade the Diaz Mansion and kill Richard Diaz After the intro cut-scene and you have control, run into the bushes along side the road and get out your sniper rifle. Now look over at the front of the mansion and kill anyone you see. Now look over at the pool area on the side of the mansion and kill anyone as well. Now don't bother trying the front door because that is locked so you will have to go round back. You can get there by following the pink dot on the radar. You will also notice that there is a yellow dot as well. This is the location of Lance so if you ever lose him, you will know where he is. Run down to onto the grassed area and up the stairs next to the pool. Head south passed the pool and kill any of Diaz's gang members with the M4 or whatever other weapon you want. I strongly recommend you use the Colt Pistol as it is powerful and accurate and take people down in one shot. Follow Lance and kill anyone in your path and he will take you to a indoor pool area. Go down the hall and the game will load an indoor area. Follow the hall and you will come to a set of stairs. Kill the guy on the steps and you will find a small room full of supplies as well. You will find some more armour and health as well as a shotgun and another M4. Now go up the stairs and when you get to the second doorway, go down it and through the hall. At the end you will come to a big room with heaps of men in it. Run around killing them all (the sniper rifle is good here). Once all the men are dead, run to the room at the top of the stairs and Diaz will come out and attack you. The best weapon to use here is the Colt Python. Lock onto him and shoot him and after he is nearly dead he will run into his office. Just run into the entrance and shoot him a few more times (he should take around 7 shots from the Colt Python). Then once he is dead, you will see a cool cut-scene and will take over his business. Also after the mission, you will get a call from Kent Paul offering you work with Love Fist so you can head over there and complete those missions first if you want. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Kent Paul | \=============================================================================/ Location: At the Malibu Club in Washington Beach on hte east island. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Death Row | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: N/A Needed: Sea Sparrow Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Go and save Lance at the junkyard before he is killed and then take him to hospital. It is a very good idea to collect at least 80 hidden packages before you attempt this mission so that you will unlock the Sea Sparrow over at Diaz's Mansion. Go and get it and then fly over to the Malibu Club over in Vice Point. When you enter the mission, you will find out that Lance has been captured and is being held at the junkyard. When the cut-scene is over, you will notice a health metre will appear. This is Lance's health and is continually falling. When it gets to nothing, Lance will be killed and you will fail, so it is like a time limit for the mission. Get back in your chopper and head over to the west island and follow the pink dot on the radar over to the junk yard in Little Haiti. This is why the chopper is good because you can head straight over there and not have to worry about staying on roads or traffic. When you get closer to the pink dot, you will see that it is at the end of a road. Hover above the road and fire the choppers gun turret (by using the R1 Button) to destroy the cars that are there and kill the few guards. Now get some more air and hover through the yard killing anyone that shoots at you. Trying not to take too much damage, follow the yellow dot on the radar, which will take you to a small shed. Kill the two guard in front of the doorway and then land the chopper and run inside and kill the guard that is next to Lance. Run up to Lance and he will get up and you will need to take him to a hospital. Get back in the chopper and take off and you will be able to by-pass all the cars that are waiting for you out the front. However, if you chopper got blown up, there is a Trashmaster in the yard, so get into that and drive that out of the yard. Once you are airborne or past all the guards, follow the pink dot on the radar, which will hake you to the hospital in the Downtown area. Stop in the pink marker and you will make arrangements to take out Diaz. Also after the mission, you will get a call from the Colonel saying that he is having trouble with the French and needs your help. You will now be able to complete his last mission 'All Hands On Deck' NOTE: The gang members in this area carry HUGE amounts of cash and will drop it when killed. You can easily make a good few grand from picking it all up. But be careful because if you take too long, you can easily fail. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Tommy Vercetti | \=============================================================================/ Location: Scattered around the mansion on Starfish Island. You can get there by following the 'V' icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Shakedown | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: PCJ 600, Uzi Receive: Ability to buy other businesses throughout Vice City. Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Head over to the Northpoint mall and destroy all the windows of the shops in 5 minutes. Before you start this mission, it is a good idea to store a PCJ 600 or any other motorbike (but I recommend the PCJ) and leave it in the mansion's garage. When you are ready to enter this mission, you will find the pink marker at the top of the stairs, in front of your office. Once you have entered the mission, you will have 5 minutes to get over to the Northpoint Mall over in Vice Point on the east island and destroy all the windows. The windows are represented by a pink dot on the radar and are in small groups, showing the windows of the shop. Run to your garage and get the bike there and then follow the pink dots. Once you get the mall, (try to get there with at least 3:40 left) drive the bike into one of the doors of the mall and you will be able to take it inside. Once you are inside, follow all the groups of dots (not the ones pointing up) and when you get to one, drive-by the windows. You will know when all the windows of the shop have been destroyed, you will know as the owner will yell at you. Drive around the bottom floor destroying all the windows and once all the windows are destroyed once the floor take one of the escalators up to the top floor. The once store which might cause some trouble is the Gash clothing store as it is two floors big. You will also notice that your criminal rating will go up a fair bit but don't worry because all you will come to is a few cops on foot. Just make sure that they don't pull you off the bike and bust you. This mission may take you a few tries to pass, but once you have done it once, its easy. NOTE: Once you have finished this mission you will be able to buy properties like the Malibu Club, all over Vice City. And many of them have their own set of missions, which I will cover later. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Bar Brawl | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Sea Sparrow Receive: Colt M4 Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Head over to the bar in Ocean Beach and find out who the new protection is and then go after them and kill them all. You will be able to find the marker for this mission, at the bottom of the main stairway, right in front of the lounge room/bar. Once you have entered the mission, you will find out that some shop is refusing to pay protection. When the cut-scene has finished, you will have two of your men following you. Don't worry about them and run around the back of the mansion and get into the Sea Sparrow that is there (If you have collected at least 80 hidden packages.) Get in it and take off. Don't worry if you leave the two men behind because you wont need them and they don't matter. Once you are in the air, follow the yellow dot on the radar, which will take you to the hotel strip in Ocean Beach, on the east island. Once you get to the yellow dot, you will be at a bar and you will see two guards at the front with arrows above they heads. Kill both of them with the choppers gun and you will need to go and speak with the manager. Land the chopper on the street and then follow the pink dot on the radar, to just behind where the two guards were. Run into the pink marker and the manager will come and say that the new protection is DBP Security. You will now have five minutes to get to their base and kill all the men there. Get back in the chopper and head north and it won't be long before you come to the security base. You will see a few men and cars with arrows above them and just kill them with the choppers gun turret. When they are all dead, two guards will escape on PCJ 600s. They are shown by a yellow dot on the radar and will head south down the main road of Ocean Beach and head for the lighthouse. Just follow them and shoot them down with the gun turret or run into them with a car to make them fall off. Once both are dead, you will pass the mission. After the mission, you will get a call from Lance about how the way you treat him. But don't worry about it because there is noting you can do. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Cop Land | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $ Needed: Helicopter Receive: Cop uniform delivered to Police Station in Washington Beach, Protection Ring Asset Complete Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Get the cops attention and head for a lock-up in Vice point. Lure some cops into the garage and take their outfits. Now head for the North Point Mall and detonate the bomb and then get back safely to your Mansion. The marker for this mission is outside the mansion, just near the garage. Once you have started the mission you will need to get the cops attention and get to the lock-up in Vice Point. Go back inside the mansion and go to the roof top and get into the Maverick that is on the Helipad. Now once you are in the air, follow the pink dot on the radar, over to Vice Point on the east island. Once you get to the lock-up, park the chopper in the grassed area across the street and you will now need to lure two policemen into the lock-up. This is simple. Just shoot a few people until you get two stars and then run inside the lock-up and run around trying to avoid being busted. Once two cops, you and Lance are all in the garage, the door will shut and you and Lance will come out in cop uniforms. Get back in your chopper and follow the pink dot on the radar, north up to the North Point Mall. Next to the pink dot, there will be a patch of grass where you can land the chopper. Run to the entrance next to you and you will know it is the right one if there is a cop in the doorway. Once you are inside the mall, the shop that needs to be destroyed should be just on your right. Run inside and into the pink marker and you will set the bomb for 5 seconds. Quickly run through the entrance and the store will blow up. You will now have a 5 star wanted level and will need to get back to the Mansion. Run outside and jump into the chopper. You may have to kill a cop or two while the chopper warms up but if it gets too hard, then just steal a car. Once you are in the air, follow the pink dot on the radar back over to your mansion over on Starfish Island. Once you get there, the pink marker will be at the top of the stairs in the doorway. NOTE: Once you complete this mission, your mansion will generate $5000 daily. To collect it, just run into the pink dollar icon that is at the top of the stairs and you will automatically get the money. Also note that you will now need to go and buy and complete all the assets and properties like the Print Works and Film studio. Once you have completed all but any two of the assets you will get a call from Lance saying there is some trouble at the Print Works. So for now you will need to complete all the other gangs missions and buy all the properties and complete the missions for them. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By arvy /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Once you have picked up your police outfits go to one of your properties and pick up a helicopter. Land this near the spinning badge outside the shopping mall. Then hijack any car and park this outside the entrance to the mall/mission When the bomb explodes, you will have a 5 star rating. kill any cops immediately near your parked car. Get into your car. Ride down the ramp to the spinning badge. (this will decrease your wanted rating by one). You are still "off-road" and as a result the "street police" don't chase you. Now get into the chopper and fly back to the mansion. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Cap the Collector | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $30000 Needed: Sea Sparrow or Hunter Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Race around Vice City killing the collectors before they get to your businesses. You can access this mission, by going to the Print Works. But before you do, get either a Sea Sparrow or Hunter so that you can fire a gun turret. I recommend the Hunter because it is quicker and can take more damage, however the Sea Sparrow is easier to get. Once you enter the mission you will find out that Sonny has sent some men to collect their cut of your businesses. There is three bikes with 2 men one each bike that will be driving around. The first motorbike will be going down the main highway of the west island and will be going to the boatyard. Get in the chopper and take off and follow the red dot one the radar to where the first bike is. By the time you get to the first men, they will be at the boatyard, so wait for them to come out and shoot them with the choppers guns or rockets if you have the Hunter. Once these are dead, another two will appear and you can get to them by following the red dot on the radar. This bike will start in the downtown area and will go for the Malibu Club over on the east island so you will easily be able to catch them and shoot them. The last two will also target the Malibu Club and it will take them a while to get there so you will be able to catch them easily. Once this last two have been destroyed, you will pass this mission and will get a call from Lance saying they have a problem down at the mansion. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Keep Your Friends Close... | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $50000 Needed: Assault Rifle, Colt Python, at least $100000, 100% Health and armour. Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 10/10 Objective: Protect the safe and then go and kill Lance and Sonny. When you enter this mission, you will find out that Sonny is coming to see you and Lance has betrayed you. When you get control again, you will be in your office and will need to protect you safe. Get out whatever weapons you have and kill the Mafia men as they come. There is a Colt Python in the room as well if you want to get that and use it. Just shoot the Mafia men as they come at you and eventually Lance will show up and after a cut-scene will run off up the big stair well. Follow him and shoot him whenever you get the chance. He will make his way to the roof. You will come across a few other Mafia men on the way but don't worry about them and keep going after Lance. You will also get a message that you need to protect your safe, but as long as you have more then $100000 you will be fine. Once you are on the roof, Lance will be hiding behind some crates and there will be Mafia men everywhere. Run around and kill all of them and then aim your attention to Lance. Just keep shooting at him with your most powerful weapons and he will eventually die. Now, go back inside and run down the stairs to your office. Kill all the men in there and the man that is kneeling by the safe. Once all the men in your office are dead, look through the door and kill anyone that tries to get in. If you run low on health and armour, then follow the clear dots on the radar to where there is some supplies. The best place is at the bottom of the stair well. At the bottom, you will find a small room full of armour, health, a shotgun and a Colt M4. Once you are back to health and ready, run back to your office and continue to kill everyone. Eventually, Sonny will appear at the bottom of the main stairs. Go outside your office and from the top of the stairs, start shooting Sonny and his guards. An assault rifle (especially the M60) is good here as you can hit all of them at once. Then once Sonny is dead, you will pass the mission and complete the game. One of the hardest things you will find about this mission is keeping your health and armour high. Remember, if you get low, quickly run to the small room at the bottom of the stairs to recover. Another thing you shouldn't worry about is when the Mafia are robbing your safe. As long as you have heaps of money, just keep on doing what you were so you can end this mission quicker. Also be careful once you have finished the mission. You will have to watch the ending cut-scene and the credits. This is because, after the credits, you will get control again and will be able to save and continue doing what you want. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Marcus /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ This is my alternate stratagy for the keep your friends close mission. All you need is the colt python and ten granades. While you are protecting the safe just use the colt to take out any mafia guys, and then chace lance after the message comes up, shooting him while you go. Once your on the roof run to the corner of the helipad and hide behind it (the mafia guys wont get you here). Just shoot from the cover of the wall untill lance and the mafia guys are dead. Now get out you gtanades and go back and meet sonny. When he starts shooting at you run to the ballcony above him and drop all your granades on him as fast as possible, now just shoot any mafia guys while the granades are exploding and he shoould be dead. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /=============================================================================\ | 4.

Its time to prove you have big cojones. This mission is a boat race around the waters of Vice City. As soon as you start the mission, you will be brought over the start the race automatically, so you won't have to drive. There is 27 checkpoints that you have to collect and the checkpoints are yellow domes that sit in the water or are floating in the air. Once you pass through the first checkpoint a timer will start with a 3 minute time limit. You will be in a Speeder, which is quite fast and relatively good handling for a boat. Also, the check points are shown on the radar by a yellow dot, so you will always know where the next checkpoint is. When you start, drive forward and pass through the first checkpoint and the timer will begin. Now turn right and follow the coastline of the west island and you will come to another checkpoint. Straighten up and go over the jump and you will collect another checkpoint. You will have to go fast to clear the jump but if you hit the ground, you will probably have to start again. You will also have to start again if you miss the ramp because you will waste too much time trying to straighten up and try again. After the jump, follow the coast right and turn into the small canal, where you will find another checkpoint. Continue to follow the canal right and you will come to another checkpoint before going straight and around a bend right and getting the next, which is just past a bridge. Follow the canal and you will come to a checkpoint above a ramp so you will have to get some air to get it. Continue following the canal and you will come to another ramp and checkpoint. Follow the canal and you will get another three checkpoints on the straight before coming out onto the open sea. Continue going straight out on the sea and you will get another three checkpoints, before you have to hook left just past one of the main bridges and get another. Do a U-turn and getting another. Go right with the coast and you will be able to get another two checkpoints leaving you with 9 to go. Now you will go back the way you came, through the canal and will have to jump a few more ramps. Once you get back to where you started, you will find the last checkpoint is under a bridge and is red. Once you pass it, Rico will drop you off at a dock and will take off. Also after the mission, you will get a call from Auntie Poulet asking for your help. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Cannon Fodder | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: 4 door car, assault rifle/rocket launcher, Colt Python, 100% health and armour. Receive: PSG-1 Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Pick up some Cubans and take them over to a fight and steal the Haitian's drug car and bring it back to the cafe. Once you start the mission, you will need to get a car. You will need to get a four door car, not a two door because you will need to pick up some Cubans. I doesn't have to be a fast or good car, because all you need to do is drop some men off. Anyway, one you have a suitable car, stopin the pink marker outside Cafe Robina and three Cubans will come out and get in the car. You will now need to get them over to the fight by following the pink dot on the radar over to the Haitian's Drug Factory. Be careful not to destroy the car because if it catches on fire, the Cubans won't get out and you will fail the mission. Once you get to the fight, stop in the pink marker and you will get and have to fight with the Cubans. There is a car down the alley that the Cubans are shooting into and there is some Haitians behind it. Get out an assault rifle (a rocket launcher works better if you have one), and shoot at the car until it explodes. Now run forward and kill the remaining Haitians in this area with a Colt Python. The Haitians all have pink arrows above them, so you will know who to kill. Once all the Haitians in this area are dead, the Cubans will run forward and all be killed by a sniper. The sniper is on the roof top at the end of the alley and you will need a sniper rifle to kill him. There is a PSG-1 behin the wall you are against,if you need it, but the sniper won't shoot at you so you can take your time to kill him. But be careful because there is a lot of Haitians on the ground that are shooting so be prepared. Once the sniper is down, you will have to clear the area so that the Cubans can move forward. Just get out your Colt Python and kill al the Haitians and then you can the Cubans will go into the next area. There will be heaps of Haitians here so be prepared for a gunfight and you will find the Colt Python, extremely useful here. After a while, you will be told to steal the van full of drugs and escape. Get into the Pony that is in the area and do a U-turn and drive down the alley. Be careful of the Haitians at the gate and you will have to be going fast so that you won't take too much damage. Once you are free from the Haitians fire, you will notice that you have a two or three star wanted level. Just make sure not to take too much damage and follow the pink dot on the radar back to the cafe in Little Havana. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Naval Engagement | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Colt Python/Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, 100% Health and armour. Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: /10 Objective: Raid the Haitian and Shark's deal and grab the drugs and take them back to the cafe. When you start this mission, you will have to go and meet up with Rico north of the boatyard in Vice Port. You can get there by following the pink dot on the radar and when you get there, run into the pink marker and you and Rico will get into his boat and he will take you over to a Haitian drug deal. When you get control again, you will have to shoot all the Haitians from the boat. The best thing to do here is to get a gun with the lock-on feature, preferably the Colt Python or a shotgun and just scroll through the enemies using R2 and L2 when you are locked on and just kill everything from left to right or the other way. You will need to kill all the Haitians on the two boats and on the dock. Once they are all dead, Rico will pull up and you will get onto land. From where you are now, pull out a sniper rifle (preferably the PSG-1 and kill all the Shark gang members that are around the mansion. There is also one on the roof, so be sure to kill him. Once all the Sharks are dead, run to the porch of the mansion and collect the two briefcases that are there. You will now need to get back to the dock and get the briefcase that is there. You will now see Rico's boat blown up so you will need to get the drugs back to the cafe yourself. You should now have a four star wanted level so you will have to be very careful. There is a Landstalker parked in the car park at the front of the mansion, so get into that and follow the pink marker back over to the west island and head back to the cafe. Since you are on starfish island, you can also go to your mansion and get a heli, but since it will be swarming with cops, you most likely won't get airborne. A good word of advice not to get out of your car unless you have to because you won't last too long on foot. Once you get back to the cafe, run into the pink marker and you will pass the mission and lose the cops attention. NOTE: Before you can complete the Cuban's last mission, you must go and complete all of the Haitians missions for Auntie Poulet. There is only three of them and they aren't as hard as some of the Cubans so it shouldn't take too long. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Trojan Voodoo | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $10000 Needed: Voodoo, 100% health and armour Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Steal a Haitian gang car and go to the Haitian factory. Place the three bombs and get the hell out of there. The first thing you are going to need to do, is steal a Haitian gang car, a Voodoo, so if you don't already have one, you can get one from Auntie Poulet. So make you way over there, but if you cant find it, then just drive around until you find one. You should be able to find one in Little Haiti, which is Haitian territory, and while you are looking, be careful not to get Pepe killed because then you will fail. Once you have one, follow the pink dot on the radar, which will take you to where two other Voodoos are waiting. Stop in the pink marker next to the other cars. When you get control again, follow the pink dot again, and it will take you to an alleyway, a little down the street. Stop in the pink marker and you will have to stay in the car, because if you get out, you will fail the mission. Wait until the gate open and then follow the other two cars into the compound. Continue to follow them until you are told to park in the pink marker. Once you have stopped in the pink marker, run inside the building you are in front of. There will be quite a few Haitians in here and the Colt Python or a shotgun will help a lot here. Once all the Haitians are dead, look on your radar and you will see three pink dots on the radar. Each one is the location of the place where you must place a bomb. There is one on the top, one right underneath that one and one near the door. Once the first one has been placed, a 45-second time limit will start. This is the time you have to plant all three bombs and get out of the factory. First use the ramp to get upstairs and look for a pink marker. When you run into this, you will activate the bomb. Activate the one upstairs first and the time limit will start. Now run back down and activate the bomb under the last bomb. Now run to the door and activate the bomb that is there. Once all three bombs are activated, you will need to get clear of the factory Run back to the front gate and you will find that it is shut. Run right and and behind a wall, you would find a thin fire exit set of stairs. Run up them and onto the roof and if you have done this all in the time limit, the factory will be destroyed and you will pass the mission. NOTE: The Haitians will now hate you and will shoot at you whenever they get the chance. But don't worry, because they will usually to distracted fighting the Cubans to worry about you. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Love Fist | \=============================================================================/ Location: At the V-Rock station in the Downtown area. You can get there by following the skull icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Love Juice | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: PCJ 600/fast car, Helicopter Receive: New Boss: "Big" Mitch Backer Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Go and get the drugs from the dealer, who will take off. Chase him down and kill him and get the drugs. Then go over to Mercedes' apartment at Leaf Links and bring her back the Love Fist. It is a good to get a PCJ 600 or a fast car before entering this mission. Once you have entered the mission, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar over to where the drug dealer is waiting in Downtown. Its not far to get there and when you do get there, park in the pink marker, so that you are facing the road for a quick getaway. Once you are in the pink marker (you will need a vehicle), sound the horn using the L3 button and the drug dealer will come out, take your money and drive off in a PCJ 600. You will have to follow close to him and make sure that you don't lose him. If you fall too far behind, you will fail, so you can find out where the dealer is as he is a yellow dot on the radar and will have an arrow above him. When you are close enough, shoot forward at him, or run into him, depending on what vehicle you have. The drug dealer will always go north and turn left on the first turn so use this to know where he is going. once he is dead, he will drop the briefcase of money and drugs and it will have an arrow above it. Once you have collected it, you will get a call from Kent saying the boys need some company. You will now need to go and pick up Mercedes at her apartment. But before you go there, go and get a chopper. There is plenty of places close to you where you can get one, which include your hideout, the Hyman Condo, just north of the V-Rock station and the police station in the Downtown area. But you can also get one at your mansion on Starfish island if you need to. Anyway, once you are in the air, follow the pink dot on the radar, back over to the east island to near Leaf Links. Once you have found Mercedes apartment, you will have to land in the pink marker that is there. You may find this a little hard because of all the things that are around it but just make sure not to blow the chopper up. Once you land Mercedes will get in and you will have 1:30 to get her back to the V-Rock station. This is why the chopper is good here, because you can head straight over there and not have to worry about the time limit. You will need to follow the pink dot on the radar over to the V-Rock station, but once you are there, you ill find you may have a little trouble landing because of some lamp posts and traffic lights. But once you have landed, Mercedes will get out and you will get your paycheck. Also after the mission, you will get call from Kent Paul saying he needs some security for a gig and having the biker gang there would be good publicity. You will now have access to the biker missions and will need to complete all of them before being able to complete Love Fists last mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Psycho Killer | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Uzi Receive: Love Fist Limo Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Drive Live Fist to the record store and then chase after the stalker and kill him. When you enter the mission, you will have to get into the Live Fist limo that is on the road. It is red and will have an arrow above it. Now you will need to drive Live Fist to the gig. You can get there by following the pink dot on the radar, but all you have to do is drive forward from the way you are facing and you will get there. Stop in the pink marker and a guy dresses as a girl will start shooting and get in a car and take off. You will need to follow the killer and kill him. He will be in a Sentinal but since your in a limo, your car is slower. You can make up for this is you know where the killer turns and where he goes. Follow the killer in the way he goes and he will take the first turn left, so you will be able to cut the corner and get up next to him. He will now go to the end of the road and near the end a Trashmaster will pull out in front of you and block your path, so stay on the left side of the road to avoid it. The killer will turn right in front of Ammunation and head out to Prawn island. But you should have easily killed him buy now anyway. A good way to kill him is to ram him so he spins out and then drive-by him until his car blows up. If the killer gets out then just drive-by him as well and you will get your reward. NOTE: You will not be able to complete Love Fists last mission until you complete all of the biker missions. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Toni /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ I got the Rocket Launcher by finding hidden packages, then queued it up before I got in the Limo to go to the record store.

Next mission. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Publicity Tour | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Drive around until Love Fist can defuse the bomb and then take them to their gig. As soon as you get control, quickly accelerate and do not stop. You will notice there is a bar on you screen which shows the detonation. Go to slow and it will fill up, but if you speed up, it will go down. The trick to this mission is that you can't stop or go too slow, but you shouldn't go to fast either. The best way to get the right speed is to tap the accelerator and find out at what speed the bar will increase. Once you have the right speed, you can lightly hold the accelerator at the speed you need. You will also find that it is hard to turn without the bar increasing to much so you will need to plan a route. The best route to take is to follow the road as it turns left and at the end o the road, turn right and follow the waters edge until you get onto the main highway of the west island. Now just slowing (not too slow) make your way down this highway and you will eventually come to the boat yard. Here take the right entrance and turning left at the end. If you now follow this road, you will get back onto the highway and will head north. But once you get to the boat yard, if you went at the right speed, the bomb should be defused. Once the bomb has been defuse, you will need to drive Love Fist to their gig. You can get there by following the pink dot on the radar and you will find the concert is just south of the V-Rock Station. Once Love Fist has arrived there safely, you will get your reward and have now completed all of Love Fist's missions. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by "Big" Mitch Backer | \=============================================================================/ Location: At the Greasy Chopper in the Downtown area. You and get there by following the card icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Alloy Wheels of Steel | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: Angel or Freeway Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Complete the motorbike race around the Downtown area and get back to the Greasy Chopper first. When you enter this mission you will be told to go and get an Angel or Freeway. This is easy. Just knock one of the riders at the starting line off their bike and the race will start automatically. This is also good for two things. The first is if you use these bikes, you will find that they handle a lot better then other Angels and the second is you have now eliminated one of your opponents leaving only two. Now the first thing you should know about this race is that its best not to go flat out and try and floor the whole race because I guarantee you will fall off a few times, which wastes a lot of time. The best way to race is to go a little slower then fully holding down the accelerator and dodging traffic. This mission is also made easier by the fact that the computer can also fall off, and it will. The computer will fall off and make a lot of mistakes, making it easy for you to just cruise by and win the race. It is also very easy to be coming last the whole race and then come around the last turn and come first. Ok, once you have stolen one of your opponents bikes, the race will start automatically, so quickly drive off after the other two bikers. In this race, the checkpoints are pink and the first one will be right in front of you. Follow the road as it turns left and you will pass through another just past an intersection. Follow this road and you will pass though another two before the road turns left and there will be another. You will get another two along this road and the last will be on a sharp turn right. Now take the first turn left and you will get the next checkpoint along this road. Now turn right and follow the road as it turns right twice before getting another checkpoint. Take the first turn right and you will get one in the middle of a intersection and then left and you will find one at the start of the street you entered. Now follow this road and you will get another three checkpoints before the road turns left and you get another two. The next checkpoint will be at an intersection and turn right here and follow the road and you will get your last, which is red, right in front of the Greasy Chopper. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Messing with the Man | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: Rhino (optional), Rocket Launcher (optional) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Fill the chaos meter in two minutes. There is a number of ways that you can tackle this mission, some harder then the others but either way, you will still find this mission quite hard. In this mission, you will have two minutes to cause as much havoc as you can and fill the chaos meter. 1. This may be the easiest, but it requires a Rhino and you will need to have collected 90 hidden packages to get it. You will also need to dress up in the cop outfit so that you can get into the army base. Once you have one, take it to outside the Greasy Chopper and then enter the mission. hen once you get control again, run back into the tank and drive around destroying everything you can in the time given. You will also rake up quite a big wanted level, drawing police to you. 2. Another way is to get a three or four star wanted level and then enter the mission and run up to the Skumole Shack save point (which is just across the road) and from up there destroy the choppers and cops that are below you. Most of the police won't be able to get you from up there (except for choppers of course) and you will be free to fire rockets or use an assault rifle to destroy anything that moves down below. 3. Another way, which isn't quite as effective as the others, is to steal cars and bunch them up in the grasses area net to the Greasy Chopper. Bunch as many as you can and then enter the mission. Then just run to where all the cars are and shoot one until it blows, causing a chain reaction. Now just run around shooting people and blowing things up for the rest of the time. Like I said before, this method isn't as effective, because you will find that some of your cars will keep disappearing and this can get quite annoying. 4. Now if your really up for a challenge, you can always just run around shooting people or drive-by people from a car, but I do not recommend this. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By Link Dragmire /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Before doing the mission, obtain large amounts of ammo for your assault rifle (Ruger, M4, ect...) and make your way to the Greasy Chopper. After accepting the mission, turn to face the Angels parked at the side of the road. Start shooting, and continue shooting the blackend carcasses after they blow up. You will find that your meter will recieve a point every couple of seconds this way. You should finish with at least 20 seconds if you do it correctly. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By Catterpillarkid /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ To help people with the "messing with the man" mission you can either use the tank cheat (circle, circle, L1, circle, circle, circle, L 1, L 2, R1, triangle, circle,triangle) these cheats do not effect your games the tank just drops out of the sky (p.s. dont stand in the road and do this cheat or the tank will land on you and kill you) another way to make this mission easier is to get all 100 hidden packages and park the tank around the back then enter this mission and shoot at it and it will raise the chaos meter. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Hog Tied | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Helicopter/PCJ 600 (optional), Colt Python/Shotgun, 100% health and armour. Receive: Tec-9 Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Go to the back of Ammunation and get Mitch's bike and bring it back to the bar. When you enter the mission, you will be told that you will need a fast motorbike to jump some stairs and land on the roof of Ammunation. You can do this if you want but its a lot easier to just get a chopper and land on the roof. The pink dot on the radar will show the location of the stairs, but if you have a chopper, then you can follow the gun icon on the radar, which will take you straight to Ammunation. Whichever way you took, once you are on the roof you will need to follow the yellow dot on the radar to where the bike is. Get out a Colt Python or Shotgun and run down the stairs that are at the back of the building. You will know which one it is as there will be heaps of Shark gang members coming up from there. Make you way down the stairs and shoot anyone that gets in the way. Once you are on the floor, keep killing and follow the yellow dot on the radar, round a few buildings, to where the bike is. You will also see a doorway close by and you will find that this is where most of the sharks come from, so if you want you can camp there and kill people as they come out to get some ammo. The bike will have an arrow above it and when you are ready, get on it and you will need to take it back to the bar by following the pink dot on the radar. Go back to the stairs that you came from and go right and you will to a white set of solid stairs. Jump over this and you will be back on the streets. Be careful here because there will be a lot of the Shark's gang cars swarming around and attacking you all the way back to the bar. Just follow the pink dot on the radar, and when you get back to the bar, park in the pink marker. After the mission, you will get a call from Mitch saying that he would provide the security for the gig. NOTE: You will now be able to complete the last mission for Love Fist so get over there and do it because it is a good one. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Auntie Poulet | \=============================================================================/ Location: At her house in Little Haiti. You can get there by following the Voodoo doll icon on the radar. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Juju Scramble | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: A car Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Go and collect the tree cases of drugs before the cops get it. When you start this mission, you will need to quickly follow the yellow dot on the radar, over to near the scrap yard. It is a good idea to have a car instead of a motorbike because there will be a lot of cops after you later. Once you are near the yellow dot, look for a ramp up to the to of a building. Get out of the car and run up the ramp and you will see a briefcase with an arrow above it. Get it and you will be caught by the cops. When you get control again, shoot the SWAT guy that is in front of you and run back into your car. You will now have one minute to get the other two briefcases before the cops get them. You will also have a two star wanted level, so you will have to be quick. Follow the next yellow dot on the radar, and it will lead you to the next briefcase, which is on the side of the road a few blocks away. Once you get this, you will get a four star wanted level and will have one more to go and get. This one is a little further away and is in the yard of some apartments. When you get this last briefcase, you will get a 5 star wanted level and you will need to take the drugs back to Auntie Poulet's house. Follow the pink dot on the radar and try and avoid the cops and FBI and when you get there, stop in the pink marker and you will pass this mission. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Dan (The Knife) \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Hey, just read your mission guide at gamefaqs.com... nice job, but I have a strategy for the Juju Scramble mission from Auntie Poulet which makes the whole thing easy... I did it first time, and I'm notoriously lousy at all video games! Basically, forget about any motorised transport, just run everywhere... you have to have done the ambulance missions for this or you will get tired, but if you have (and you probably should have done them by now) then just run from place to place. You are a smaller target for the police to hit than if you are in a car, and less likely to get rammed off course and busted provided you are always sprinting. Anyway, if you feel like including that then please do, I'd like to feel I've contributed in a small way to helping others rather than desperately seeking help all the time. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Bombs Away! | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: Noting Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Destroy three boats and a car with a RC plane This mission will require you to drop bombs on Cuban boats from a remote controlled plane. Once you have entered the mission, you will need to follow the yellow dot on the radar. This will take you to a Top Fun van at is at the waters edge. When you get into it, you will get control of a RC plane, which you will need to take off in. To take off, just drive in the direction you started off in and hold down an when you get enough speed you will take off. The planes will continually lose altitude because of the bomb under it, and will eventually come back up. Try not to lift the nose up too much because the plane will stall and crash. You will also want to be careful because you only have three planes and one all three have been destroyed, you will fail the mission. You wont have a time limit so you are free to fly around and get used to the controls, just don't go out of range or you will waste a plane. Also, if you press the circle button, you will drop the bomb that is under the plane. It is also a good idea to see how long it takes to fall so you can judge when to drop it. When you are ready, follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to three boats that are docked with a pink arrow above them. Fly low over then and drop a few bombs on them. You should destroy at least one of the boats and the ones that haven't been destroyed will take off and drive around making it even harder to hit them. All the boats are shown by a yellow dot on the radar so you will know how many is left. The best way to destroy them is to fly really low above them and drop the bomb when you are above the boat. Once all three boats are destroyed, you will be told a Cuban has escaped by car. He is shown by a yellow dot on the radar and you will have to destroy it too. The car is a lot easier then the boats but use the same strategy and you should be fine. If you don't destroy all the planes, then you will pass this mission. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By GeorgiaIsHot \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Like you said, after you destroy the three boats, you are told a Cuban escapes by car. However, if you look carefully on Starfish Island, where the three boats were moored, you can the the Cuban Hermes parked nearby. If you destroy it before you destroy all the boats, it cant drive away! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Dirty Lickin's | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $ Needed: Colt Python Receive: Sniper Rifle Mission Difficulty: /10 Objective: Kill all the Cubans at the fight and make sure the Haitians win. Once you have started the mission, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar. Its not very far at all and its quicker to just run over there. The pink dot will take you to the top of a building across the road, and you will have to run around it until you find some stairs. There is an adrenaline pill under the stairs, if you want to use that, otherwise just run onto the roof and you will be able to the pink marker. Run into it and you will need to start snipering the Cubans. The Cubans are the men in white and will have arrows above them. There is two good ways to sniper the Cuban. The first is just to use the sniper rifle that you are given, but you will need to be accurate and fast. There is an adrenaline pill under the stairs if you want to get that because it will make this a lot easier. Another way is to use the Colt Python. Just lock onto the gang members at the fight and scroll through them using L2 and R2 and only shoot the Cubans. You will find it hard to tell who's who this way, but it doesn't matter if you kill a Haitian because all you need is one Haitian to survive to pass the mission. Once you have nearly killed all the Cubans, a van will pull up and some men will get out. Kill all the men that get out and then a line of Cubans will come running from your direction. Here, just get out your Colt Python and shoot them before they get to the Haitians. You will be able to scroll through the line, which will make killing them a lot quicker. Once all the Cubans are dead and at least one Haitian is left. NOTE: Since the fight is right next to Auntie Poulet's house, you will be able to quickly run back there and re enter the mission if you fail. You will now be able complete the last Cuban mission where you destroy the Haitian drug factory. /=============================================================================\ | Missions by Phil Cassidy | \=============================================================================/ Location: At his place near Kaufman Cabs in Little Haiti. You can get there by following the 'P' icon on the radar. You can access his missions once you have completed all the missions at the Malibu Club. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Gun Runner | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 + $100 for every person you kill on a Faggio. Needed: Sea Sparrow Receive: M60, SPAZ12 Shotgun, M60, Ingram Mac 10, Colt Python, Uzi 9mm. Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Destroy the four Waltons driving around town and collect the weapons they were carrying. Once you have entered this mission, get into the Patriot and head over to your mansion on Starfish Island and go and get the Sea Sparrow that is there. (you will need at least 80 hidden packages for it to be unlocked. Don't bother trying to take it over to Phil's before the mission because it will just disappear. Don't worry about trying to get there quickly, because there isn't a time limit, so you will be able to take your time. Once you have the Sea Sparrow and are in the air, there will be two yellow dots on the radar that you will need to follow. At each dot, you will find two Waltons with arrows above them and a crate in the back. There will be four cars that you have to shoot at and destroy and when you shoot at it, they will drop the crate and its contents, a weapon. Once the car drops the weapons, you will need to land and pick them up. The weapons you need to get will have an arrow above it and even if you have a weapon of the same time (e.g. an Uzi or assault rifle) you will still have to switch to the weapon needed. But I'm pretty sure you will still have the same amount of ammo, but I'm not sure. Anyway, since you have the Sea Sparrow, you will easily be able to destroy both Waltons in once go. Once you get all weapons, you will need to destroy all the vans so you may as well do it as you go. Two of the vans are destroyed and you have collected the weapons, you will be told that they have called for re enforcements. All this consists of is about 6 men on Faggios. You will want to be careful because there is so many of them, but if you still have a chopper, they won't harm you. Also note that if you do want to kill all of them, more will just come back after you but you will get a bonus $100 for every person you kill. When you go for the second two vans, you will have to be more careful as you will have the men an Faggios after you and they will shoot at you. Once you have collected all 5 weapons and all four Waltons are destroyed, you will pass the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Boomshine Saigon | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $ Needed: Nothing Receive: Phil's Place Asset Complete Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Drive Phil to the Hospital while you are drunk, he will refuse to go there so take him to the special doctor. It seems that you have gotten drunk off just smelling Phil and now have to take him to the hospital. This may sound easy but the camera will be continually moving as you drive, making it extremely hard to drive and see where you are going. And to make things harder, there will be a bar on the screen with Phil's health. When this suns out you will fail the mission and Phil will die, so you will have to be quick. You may want to try this missions a few times before doing it for real. Once you are ready to do it for real, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar, over to the Hospital in Little Havana. The easiest way to get there, is once you come out of Phil's place, head straight down the road connected to the alleyway, and you will come to the main highway of the west island. Now you can just go in the middle of the two roads so you don't have to worry about turning or dodging traffic and you will be able to just head south and get to the hospital quicker. Once you get there, park in the pink marker and Phil will tell you to take him to a doctor who owes him a few favors. Its not far and if you are going south along the highway, all you have to do is take the first right after passing Cherry Poppers and follow the pink dot on the radar and you will get there. Park in the pink marker and Phil will get out and you will pass the mission. NOTE: After this mission, you will now be able to buy heavy duty weapons from Phil's place. There is a M60, Rocket Launcher, Minigun and Detonator. You can get there by following the 'P' icon in the radar. Here the only real rare weapon is the M60, so unless you don't have any of the other guns, try them out and see what they are like. /=============================================================================\ | Payphone Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: All the payphones for these missions are all at different payphones spread out over Vice City.

Once you have entered the mission you will be told that you have to kill some Pizza boy. Sounds easy. Once you have entered the mission, a bar will appear on your screen showing how many deliveries the pizza boy has left. He will have 50 deliveries and once he his done all of them, you will fail. You can get to him by following the yellow dot on the radar. For some strange reason, he will be able to as fast as a sports car, so you will need something really fast. A Cheetah or Infernus or a PCJ 600 are food here as they are some of the fastest vehicles you will find. Once you have found him, try ramming him off his bike, but if he refuses to fall off, just drive-by him. If this fails then you could just run into him head on. Anyway, one he is off his bike, he will be easy to kill. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Waste the Wife | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Location: Payphone in the middle of Vice Point. Pay: $2000 Needed: Strong car Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Ram into the car and make it blow up without using weapons. Once you enter this mission, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar, just down the street. Make sure that you have a strong car, like a Rancher, before entering the pink marker because when you do Mrs. Dawson, will come out of a shop and get in her car. She drives a Comet, which is very fast so you may have trouble keeping up with her. You will also find a health bar for Mrs. Dawson's car. Once this is fully depleted, her car will blow up and you will pass the mission. Also Mrs. Dawson will drive normally until you hit her so use this to your advantage. Her car is shown by a yellow dot on the radar so if you lose her, you will be able to find her again. Before you hit her, try and get in front of her and turn around and hit her head on. Try and get as much speed as you can because then it will cause more damage. She will now take off and you will need to follow her. ram into her from the back or sides whenever you get the chance and you may have to change cars once or twice. There is no real easy way to do this as you can't use weapons and there is no where you can push her into the water. Just continue ramming her until the health bar runs out and the car catches alight. Try to ram her into other cars or buildings to cause more damage. Now get away so you won't get caught in the explosion and she will keep driving until her car blows up. As long as you don't use any weapons, you will pass. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By GeorgiaIsHot \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ A very simple way to do this is to get 90 hidden packages, and drive the tank to the phone. Park it just away from the phone, so it doesn't dissapear in the cut-scene. Then just simply drive over her comet in the tank. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Autocide | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Location: The payphone near the mall in Washington Beach Pay: $4000 Needed: Sea Sparrow Receive: Sniper Rifle, Uzi Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Kill all the men involved in the bank job. Before you enter this mission, it is a good idea to go to your mansion on Starfish Island and get the Sea Sparrow that is there (you will need to have gotten at least 80 hidden packages). Now fly it over to the payphone and enter the mission. Once you have started you will have 9 minutes to kill all the gang members. If you need some guns, follow the blue dot on the radar and it will take you to a yard with a sniper rifle and an Uzi. If you don't need the weapons get into the chopper and follow the yellow dot on the radar to where Mike Griffin is. He is up on a billboard and you will need a sniper rifle to kill him. But if you have a Sea Sparrow, you can easily just use the gun turret to kill him quickly. The next person you need to kill is Dick Tanner who is working for DBP Security. Follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to the DBP building. Use the gun turret again and shoot the Securicar with an arrow above it that is there. It will take off and drive down the main road of Ocean Beach. It will be easy to kill him here so just continue to fire at him until the car blows up. The next two men, Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, are near a jewelry shop in Vice Point. Once again follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to them. They are both in a Bobcat, but once they see you, one of them will get out and start shooting at you. He will have a shotgun so kill him quickly before he can shoot you. Once he is dead, follow the yellow dot again and start shooting the car until it blows up. The next person on your list is Nick Kong who is on a boat in Washington Beach. Follow the yellow dot on the radar and when you find the boat, land on the water (only if you have a Sea Sparrow) and start shooting at the boat until it explodes. Now the last person you will need to kill is Charlie Dilson who is riding around Washington Beach. Just follow the yellow dot on the radar and you will come to a person on a bike. Shoot at him and he will take off. Since he will be on a PCJ 600, he will be very fast and you may have some trouble keeping up with him. But since you are in a chopper, you will be able to cut corner when you are above the buildings. Anyway, once all the gang members are dead you will be able to collect your reward. NOTE: This is noting important, it is just something worth noting. All the gang members in this mission all appear in other gangs. Griffin is from Red Faction. Tanner is from the Driver series, Hammond and Carter are both from The Getaway and I think that the Nick Kong is supposed to be Donkey Kong series. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Shane Mckay /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ I found for the 'autocide' extra mission it was easier to go over to the mainland and go to that one pool and get the rocket launcher. It was easier to kill the men in cars. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Check out at the Check in | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Location: The payphone at the airport terminal Pay: $8000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Sniper Rifle Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Kill the man the lady talks to and collect the briefcase he drops, now take the briefcase to Ammunation in the Downtown area. The payphone for this mission is actually inside the airport terminal and when you try and enter, you will lose your weapons. But don't worry because you will be able to get them back when you leave. Once you find the payphone and have entered this mission, follow the yellow dot on the radar, which is just to your right behind a tree. There will be a sniper rifle there and once you get it, you will be told what you need to do. A bar will come up on your screen showing how distance. You must make sure that this does not get filled up because if it does, the lady will see you and you will fail. Follow the yellow dot on the radar, but don't go too close to it because this is the lady you need to follow. Use the sniper rifle to zoom in on her and watch what she is doing. She will be waiting at the top of the escalator for a while but when she starts to move, make sure you see what she is doing. A good spot to sniper from is the second floor and you can take an escalator up there. Once the lady is on the bottom floor, she will go and talk to two men in suits. She will make the transaction with them but you won't be able to see it, all you will see is them talking. Once she leaves them, kill both men and you will need to collect the briefcase. Be careful here because there will be a lot of security guards shooting at you, so you will have top be quick. You will also notice that you have a two star wanted level. Follow the yellow dot on the radar and run over to where you killed the men and collect the briefcase. Once you have the briefcase, you will need to take it to the Ammunation in the Downtown area. Run outside and get your guns back and then get into a car and follow the pink dot on the radar. But as you leave the airport, some men in black cars will come after you. Be careful of them as there is a men standing out of the sunroof, who will shoot at you, so try and avoid them and make your way over to Ammunation, while trying to avoid the cops and these men in the black cars. When you get to the Ammunation, run into the pink marker and you will pass this mission. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By "The Don" Stodge Stevens /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ You will need a Maverick for this: This proved invaluable because I hate the FBI lol. Simply fly the Maverick to the car park opposite the Escobar Airport front entrance, making sure it is parked behind teh wire fence, and a way away from the entrance. Now, when you kill the target and grab the case run out to the maverick and dodging the cops. Simply run around the fence so the cops can't get to you, hop in the chopper and fly sky high to down town! Presto! Job Done. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By shyman333 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Before ever answering the telephone, find a helicopter (top of VCN building, Police, and on Starfish Island) then park the helicopter on the asphalt like roof of the Escolbar Airport Terminal. Then jump of the roof and find a reasonably fast car, a Sentinel worked for me, and drive the car right up to the jump next to the billboard (looks like a half pipe) and put the car into reverse. Drive the car as far as you can backwards, which should be after the gates. Now, with the preparation finished, run into (don't drive anything since your helicopter might disappear) the airport and answer the phone. Get the sniper.... shoot the two men the women talks to... blah blah blah... and you should have a 2 star rating. Now pick up the briefcase and jog to you parked car. Remember to zig-zag through the trees to loose the cops and then once you get into your car floor it. Line up the car with the jump and hang-ooooooooon. With any luck you should land on the roof, you don't need much. Carefully get out of your car and walk to your awaiting helicopter. Now you can take a casual flight over the cops and the black Mercedes waiting to chase after you. Fly over the Ammunition and gently land in front of the shop. Mission complete, no sweat. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Loose Ends | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Location: Payphone behind the Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Factory in Little Havana.

Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Infiltrate the area behind Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Factory and retrieve the briefcase and take it over tot he helipad at the airport. >From the payphone you answered to enter this mission, go left and enter the gate that is opening. Once you have entered through the gate, there will be some men next to a black car at the end of the alleyway. The easiest way to kill them is to shoot the car with a M4 or Ruger (there is a Colt M4 behind the gate), but if you want to keep the car, you can sniper the two men. Now move forward to where the car is and get out your sniper rifle and kill anyone you can see. There should be a man on the steps on front of you and another at the end of the catwalk. Now run forward into the yard and destroy the two cars in the yard because they are full of men and you don't want to have to deal with them. Once the two cars are destroyed, run up the stairs, up onto the catwalk. From here, look over to the south and you should be able to sniper most of the men in the yard and up on top of the buildings. Once you have killed all the guards you can see, run down back into the yard and kill anyone that is left. If you need some armour, there is some is the southeast corner of the yard. When you are ready, run up the stairs in the southwest corner of the yard and you will be on the roofs of some houses. If you need some health, there is some up here but be careful not to fall off the roofs. Make your way across the roofs and head to the roof of Cherry Poppers (its the roof with the two ice creams on it. Once you are on the Cherry Poppers roof, run u the set of stairs that is there and you should be on a higher roof with a blue chopper on it. There will also be two ramps on it and a briefcase with an arrow above it, in the middle. There is also a few men behind these so be careful when you go and get the briefcase. Once you have the briefcase, get in the chopper that is there and you will have to follow the pink dot on the radar, south to a helipad at the airport. When you find the right helipad, land in the middle, on the pink marker and you will pass this mission and have passed all of the assassination mission. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Ray /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ When you get near the end with the briefcase, I found it easier to toss a grenade over beside the case to take out the guys hiding behind the platforms than to charge at them. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /=============================================================================\ | 5.

The Malibu Club in Vice Point and is on the east island. You can get there by following the palm tree icon on the radar. Cost: $12000 Daily earnings: $10000 Background: All the missions at the Malibu Club, involve you organizing a bank robbery, which you perform in the last mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | No Escape | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $1000 Needed: Strong vehicle. Receive: Cop outfit delivered to police station in Washington Beach. Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Bust Cam out of jail, lose the cops and then drop him off a his place in Little Havana. Before you enter this mission, it is a good idea to go and get a strong/heavy car line a Linerunner or Securicar. If you go to Vice Port, you will be able to find a nice range of heavy vehicles. You will want one of these cars because you are going to be up against quite a few police and you want a car that won't get pushed around too easy. Once you have a good car, head back over to the Malibu Club and enter the mission. Once you get control again, get back into your car and follow the yellow dot on the radar to the Police Station in Washington Beach. It's not far and all you need to do is follow the road from the Malibu Club south and you will get there. When you get to the police Station, go to the north part (with the palm trees) and go through the door that is there and you will enter the VCPD. When you are in the entrance you will be told that there will be something helpful in the locker room. So run into the room to your left and run into the pink marker and you will change into a police outfit. Now exit the locker room and go down the hall with the sign 'No civilians Beyond this point' and turn right at the end and go up the stairs. Directly in front of this entrance, on the other side of the room, you will see a white halo with an arrow above it. When you get closer you will see that it is a key card. Pick it up and go back to the entrance to this room. Go down the stairs and back down the hall. Look to your right and you should see another set of stairs, going down them and then down another set and you will be in the room with all the cells. Go to the back and run into the pink marker and you will use the key card and open the door to Cam's cell. You will now have a four star wanted level and will need to get Cam to his place. You can kill all the police in the building if you want but you don't have to. Just run past them and back outside. Once you are outside, get back into the car you left behind or the Sentinal that is there and you will need to follow the pink marker on the radar over to the Pay 'N' Spray in Ocean Beach. Be careful when you are getting in the car because there is a lot of police on foot around here and you will have to make sure that Cam doesn't get killed. You may also have some problems driving because you will be constantly bumped by police and hit off the road. Once you have got to the Pay 'N' Spray, you will need to take Cam back to his place. Cam's place is on the west island in Little Havana. It is right across the road from the southern most bridge on the highway, so you shouldn't have much trouble finding it. Once you get there, park in the pink marker and Cam will get out and you will pass the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | The Shootist | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $3000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Rifle Range open Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Go down to the Ammunation in the Downtown area and prove to Phil you've got what it take by beating his score of 60. The first thing you will need to do in this mission is follow the pink dot on the radar, over to Ammunation in the Downtown area on the west island. Its quite a drive but since you don't have a time limit, take your time. When you get to Ammunation, go inside and at the back you should see a pink marker. Run into the marker and you will enter the shooting range and talk to Phil. When you get control you will be at the shooting gallery with a Pistol. You will be able to use it exactly the same as an assault rifle but the gun will still perform like a pistol. In the first found, you will have three different targets to hit. The closest one is worth 1 point so don't really bother with this one. The middle target is worth 2 points and the far is worth three. It best to always go for the far target as you will be able to get a high score easy. Also each target is broken up into 5 pieces and you will need to shoot all 5 pieces of the taret to get the designated score. For this round you will have two minutes and when the time limit runs out or you run out of ammo, the round will be over. Your score will also be displayed on the screen so you will be able to know what you are at. Like I said before, only go for the far target and the middle target if you have to. For this round you will want to be aiming for at least 30 to be able to pass easy. Also when you are given control back, don't leave the rifle range or you will fail the mission. Instead, go right and do through the door and follow the pink dot on the radar. When you find round two, walk into the pink marker and you will go back into first person mode. In this round all targets are worth only one point and you will once again have two minutes to shoot. Does anyone look familiar. The target in the next round will be cut-cuts of characters from GTAF3, Misty and Luigi. Anyway, all the targets in this round will appear in the windows in front of you and you should be able to easily make 60 in this round but you should be aiming for 45-50. Once again, follow the pink dot on the radar and you will come to round three. Run into the pink marker and you will start. Once again the targets will only be worth one point and you will have one minutes. Once you complete this round you will have to go and talk to Phil. Just run back to where the first round was and if you got a higher score then 60, you will pass. NOTE: Once you complete this mission, the rifle range will be open and you will be able to shoot targets whenever you want. However, you will only be able to shoo the first round again, but if you get better then 45, you will get the fast reload function, which comes in quite handy later on. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | The Driver | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Bulletproof Sabre Turbo. Mission Difficulty: 9/10 Objective: Beat Hillary in a race so that he will drive for you. A simple one-on-one race doesn't seem too hard. Well, this one is. But it is a good idea to use the map you got with the game (or one you may have downloaded), to make out or memorize the route you take so you know where you are going and know where you can cut corners or get speed. The main idea of this race is that you have to bead Hillary so that he will be your getaway driver. The thing is that Hilary has a car that is nearly twice as fast as yours. He will be in a Sabre Turbo, while you will have to be in a Sentinal and you won't be able to change it. Hillary's car will have an arrow above it but it won't he shown on the radar so you won't be able to tell how far in front or behind you are. Instead, there will be pink dots on the radar, which will show where the next checkpoint is. Because Hillary's car is faster then yours, you will have to race dirty to be able to keep up. The best way to get ahead is to try and spin Hillary out of control or make him run into other cars or objects. However, be very careful because if you fall too far behind him, you won't catch up again because of the speed difference. When you start, follow the road you are on and you will pass through three checkpoints. Right after the third, there will be a bridge and a road going off on an angle. Take the road that is on an angle and you will pass through another checkpoint. Here is a great place to try and cut Hillary off, as you can get him stuck on the bridge. Turn off right (the direction), after the bridge and follow this road for a while before passing through another checkpoint. Here you will also hear a police scanner reporting a street race and you will now have a two star wanted level. Don't worry about this because you won't see many police until after the mission. Anyway, you will pass two checkpoints along this long stretch, but you will need to take the first left after passing the second checkpoint, which will be near the spiral car park and mall. Now take the first right along this road but not before passing through a checkpoint. Follow this long road and collect another checkpoint and take your first right, right in front of Rafael's (the clothing shop). There will be another checkpoint along this road, although it is very short. Turn left and then right at the end of the road and you will be at the southern most road of the east island. Just after you turn, you will pass another checkpoint and will be heading in the direction of the docks (where you took missions for the Colonel) and following the road as it curves north. The next checkpoint will be just past the docks (a white building) and you will need to turn left and head north and collect a checkpoint next to the hospital, before turning right. You will pass three checkpoints along this long road, one being in front of Ken Rosenberg's office and an apartment you can buy, the other being next to a shop called 'Bunch of Tools' (there will be a bridge just past it that you will need to go over) and the last being just past the construction site where you took missions for Avery Carrington. Just past this last checkpoint you will need to turn right because there will a cold-e-sac to your left. Just past this there will be a bridge and the net checkpoint, which will be in front of a pizza place. Now turn right here and you will pass through the last checkpoint back at the Malibu Club. You may find that there is a bit of luck involved in this mission, as you have to hope that Hillary will make a big mistake and spin out our run into an alleyway. The only real way to beat this mission is to make Hillary make a mistake or lose control so that you can get a little lead on him. You will definitely be restarting a lot in this race but once you pass it, you will want to go and save as quick as possible before something happens. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Chuck Fatora \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ I spawned a Sabre Turbo immediately when the countdown to the race starts, and it even falls onto the other car, so you are out of the Piece-of-**** car and into a Sabre Turbo in seconds. It works! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By GeorgiaIsHot \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Before you start this mission, get a very fast car with excellent handling,(I chose a Comet), and park it just past the small bridge, near the Washington Beach Police Department. Just make sure you park it on the footpath, and if at all possible, try to leave the car door open. Now go to the Malibu, and start the mission. Once the race has started, smash and drive-by Hillary's car as much as possible, in hope to pop a tyre. When you get to your parked car, get out, and quickly jump into your parked car. The headstart you gave Hillary is more than made-up for in your great handling and better speed. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | The Job | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $50000 Needed: Colt Python, 100% health and armour. Receive: Bank outfit delivered to the Malibu Club, The Malibu Club Asset complete, New Boss; Phil Cassidy. Mission Difficulty: 8/10 Objective: Go down to the bank in Little Havana and change into something more suited and then pull off a bank job. Once you are done, you must escape from the SWAT and make your way to Cam's place. Its time to pull off the bank job. There has been a lot of organization leading up to this so don't let it all go to waste. Once you have started this mission, you will have to get into the taxi that is in front of the Malibu Club, with an arrow above it. Once everyone is in the car, follow the pink dot on the radar and it will take you take you to a bank called 'El Branco Corrupto Grande' on the west island. The bank is just north of the Starfish Island bridge so you may as well take that one. Also be careful on the way and try not to damage the taxi much, but if you do, the Pay 'N' Spray is just north of the bank. The marker you have to park in is, across the road from the bank. When you have park in it, everyone will get out and Hillary will drive around the block. Now run over to the bank and run into the pink marker that is off to the side and you will go and get changed into something more suitable. Once you are in the bank outfit, run into the pink marker at the very front of the bank and you will go inside and you will go in and rob the bank. When you get control back again, follow the pink marker. To the right of where the people are standing against the wall, there will be a set of stairs, which you will need to go up. Make sure that Cam is following you as you will need him. There will be a few security guards around here, so kill them, and when you are on the third floor (with the balcony) look for a room with an elevator. Once you have found it, run into the pink marker and you will get in and go up. Once you have gone up, kill the guard that is there and run into the pink marker that is in the other room. Cam will say that he can't open it and you will need to go and get the manager. Go back to the elevator and back to the second floor, where there is all the tables. Follow the pink dot on the radar, to the managers room, but if you need some armour and health, there is some in this area. Once you are in the managers room, run in front of his desk and he will agree to go with you. Follow the pink dots again and make your way back up to the safe, and where Cam is. While Cam and the manager open the safe, you will need to go and check on Phil. Run back to the elevator. When you are back at the balcony, you will get a three star wanted level and hear Phil say that someone, hit the alarm. Jump down from the balcony to the bottom floor and run into the pink marker. He you will find out that you are surrounded and that the SWAT is storming the place. You will now need to kill all the SWAT members that come in, but be careful because most of them come from the roof. You will be able to kill them as they slide down, but there will also be SWAT upstairs on the balcony. Once all the SWAT are dead, run into he pink marker at the front of the bank and you will have to wait for Hillary. When he get back, he will get out and be shot. Now kill all the SWAT members before getting into the Taxi. Be careful here because you must make sure that Phil doesn't get killed. It doesn't matter if Cam dies as long as Phil is ok as you will need him later on in the game. When you are in the taxi, follow the pink marker and it will take you north to a Pay 'N' Spray. Its not far but be quick before too many police start ramming you. Once you have lost the cops, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar again over to Cam's place. Just take the main highway of the west island, south and you will get there. Once you get there, park in the pink marker and you will pull into the garage and enjoy the bubblies, as well as Mercedes, if you know what I mean ;) Also after the mission, you will get a call from Phil and he will offer you some work. NOTE: You have now completed the Malibu Club asset property and it will now generate a huge $10000 a day. /=============================================================================\ | Print Works Asset Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: The Print Works is located on the middle of Little Havana.

Now head over to the boatyard in Vice Port and talk to the Triad Boss and find out when they get the plates in. Now head back to the Print Works. Before you enter this mission, it is a good idea, to go and get a Sea Sparrow from your mansion and take it over to the Print Works. When you enter this mission, a taxi will pull up and you can get in that and it will take you straight over to The Malibu Club, where you are meeting Kent Paul. But if you have a chopper, you should use that and follow the pink dot on the radar over to the Malibu Club. When you get there, run into the pink marker and you will go inside and talk to Paul. He will tell Triad supply the plates and they have a shipping company down at the boatyard. So when you get control again, get back in the chopper and follow the pink dot on the radar. But if you took a cab over to the Malibu Club, you may have to drop by your mansion to get another Sea Sparrow. When you get close to the pink dot on the radar, you should see a blue boat with red and blue crates on it. When you get near it, go round the back of the ship (where the chimney is) and you will see a lot of stairs. Try and land at the bottom of the ship and kill any that you need to with the gun turret. When you land it is going to be a tight fit so just try a few different ways and find the best way to land. Once you have landed, head up the stairs and follow the pink dot on the radar. When you get near it, an alarm will go off and more men will come and start shooting at you. When you get to the pink dot, run into the marker and you will go in and talk to the boss. When you get control again, you will have a two star wanted level and more Triads will come and shoot at you. Run back down to where you left the chopper and take off and follow the pink dot on the radar, back to the Print Works. When you get there, run into the pink marker and you will pass this mission. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By Steve O'Rourke \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Before I saw your guide I found a way to pass this very frustrating mission without a helicopter. While trying the hard-ass method of going in with guns blazing, I inevitably died on the way out. After about the seventh time, I suddenly wondered if I could just jump over the side to avoid the shooters after getting the information I needed. Indeed, after I got the info and killed the guy waiting for me above and to the left, I went down one level, backed up, and took a running jump over the side. The results exceeded my expectations: I was able to clear the fence below and fall very close to the health symbol near the shipping crate (or whatever it is), get that and run across the street and grab the armor, and then get back to my car. Avoiding the cops had no difficulty at all, since there's a Paint 'N' Spray practically around the corner. I should mention that I did this on the PC version, in case it won't work on the PS2 version. If you use this, please identify me as Nick Jones, my usual nom de Internet. If you see this name on any game (or other) forums, it's probably me (Neverwinter Nights, for example). I should also say 'thank you' for the 'Dildo Dodo' hints: another mission I was finding impossible.

Once again you are going to need a Sea Sparrow or a Hunter so go and get one before entering the mission now after because once you start, you are going to need to be quick. Once you have entered the mission, get in your chopper and follow the yellow dot on the radar. You will have to be quick because the yellow dot shows a chopper that is heading towards the boatyard. Once you find the chopper, don't shoot at it but follow it until it gets to the boat yard. When it lands, it will be in an area with tree cars parked in a line and some people will get out of the chopper. The person with the plates will have an arrow above him, but if you kill him, someone else will get the plates, so kill everyone in the yard as well as the three cars. Try to leave the chopper unharmed because you may want it if your chopper blows up. Once everyone is dead, land and run to where you can see an arrow as this is where the plates are. Pick them up and you will get a two star wanted level. Now get back into your chopper or the chopper that is already there, and take off. You may want to be careful because there is a few more snipers around the place and some more men will come. Once you are in the air, follow the pink dot on the radar and head back over to the Print Works. When you get there, land and run into the pink marker and you will pass the mission. NOTE: The Print Works will now produce $8000 daily. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By TrollsoN \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ I haven't seen this method described in the FAQs, and it is *really* easy... In "Hit the Courier" (Print Works final mission), why bother trying to intercept the courier on route? You know where she is going -- the courtyard north of Kaufman Cabs, with stairs going down in the SW corner to her base. The courier stops in the street and runs on foot down the north ally, down the steps to safety. My final method was to take the Sea Sparrow (though a fast bike may work as well) and a Python. At the start of the mission, just fly over and land in the yard -- towards the east side just to keep the chopper away from any gun fire, and hang around by the stairs. The courier's boudy guards still make a bee-line for you, but being in cars cant handle the narrow allys which access the yard. I could hear them driving into the surrounding buildings in despair. A couple of minutes before the courier arrives a bunch of armed women emerge up the stairs. They are easy to knock off, and even seem to be surprized! When the courier comes running down the ally, shoot here, pick up the plates, and fly away back to the Presses (avoiding the guards who, I believe, where still playing bumpercars in the streets beyond. Use the Python for lock on and one shot kill (dont want the courier limping past!). After you kill the women who emerge from the stairs, you can now go down and enter their base -- which is just one room with a press (no loot). Nice:-) /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /=============================================================================\ | Film Studio Asset Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: The Film Studio takes up most of the north island called Prawn Island.

When you enter this mission, you will need to follow the pink dot on the radar over to where Candy Suxxx is. Candy is in the downtown area so head over there and once you are there, park in the pink marker and Candy will come. Then some smart asses will stop and attack you. When you get control again, shoot the men that get out of the car and then when they are dead, get in a fast car and follow the yellow dot on the radar. This will take you over to a Sentinal that is driving around. Shoot at it and some more men will get out. Shoot them and then go after the car again. When ever some men get out of the car, don't worry about them and go for the car. This is because every time the car goes out of sight, more men will get in it. Once you have destroyed the car, you will need to go back and get Candy. Follow the pink dot on the radar and when you get back to where Candy is run into the pink marker and Candy will follow you. Get in a Car and follow the pink dot on the radar and it will take you to Well Stacked Pizza in the Downtown area. Get out of the car and run inside and run into the pink marker and you will talk to Mercedes and she will agree to join you. Now run back outside and get back in your car and head towards the pink dot on the radar and you will go back to the film studio.

Mission Difficulty: 3/10 Objective: Distribute the posters of the movie using the old sea plane Once you have entered this mission, follow the yellow dot on the radar and it will take you to the old sea plane. There is a door just past a UFO prop and under a water tower where you can head down to a jetty. The sea plane will have an arrow above it and to get in, just press triangle when you are next to it. Once you enter it, a bar will come up with the Skimmer's fuel. This is like a time limit because once it runs out you will fail. Also remember the RC planes from the mission 'Bombs Away (that's if you've done it). The Skimmer has exactly the same controls but handles a little different. Just drive along the water and when you have enough speed hold down and you will take off. Once you are in the air, there is a few things you should be careful of. The first is that you cannot land on land because if you do, there is no chance of getting back in the air. Another thing is to be careful of buildings, these can be very dangerous and they can destroy the plane very easy. The only place where these are a threat is in the downtown area. The last thing is to not pull up to fast because you will more then likely stall, which can also be bad. When you are ready, look on the radar and you will see lots of blue dots on the radar. Follow these and they will take you to a blue checkpoint. It doesn't matter which ones you pass through because once you pass through one, you will start to drop the posters. Follow the red dot on the radar and this will lead to a red checkpoint where you will stop dropping the posters. These checkpoints are very small so you will have to be very accurate when lining up. Once you have done one of the drops, follow another blue dot on the radar and start another line. There is six lines to complete that are all over the west island, and once they are all don't you will be finished with this mission. This mission isn't very hard at all the only thing that makes it hard is controlling the Skimmer and trying not to run into buildings. If you are going to fail this mission, those are my biggest bets of what is going to happen. NOTE: From now on when you are walking around Vice City, look on the floor and you will see the posters scattered all over the floor with the other papers that are always there. Also from now on the Skimmer will now be available from behind the Film Studio, where it was in the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Martha's Mug Shot | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Needed: Nothing Receive: Sparrow Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Go and get blackmail photos of Alex Shrub and Candy Suxxx together. Once you enter this mission, you will see Candy with an arrow above her head, walking outside the film studio. She will be shown by a yellow dot on the radar. But if you look on the radar, you will find that there is two yellow dots. Run to the other one and you will find that it will lead to a Sparrow that is in the Film Studio. Get in it and take off and go back to where Candy is. She will get into a Stretch and you will need to follow this. The Stretch will have and arrow above it and will be shown by an arrow above it, but don't get too far away from it or you will fail. But because you are in a chopper it will be easy to see them. The Stretch will go over to the east island and will head south to one of the buildings near the Malibu Club. There will be a pool and trees and a bar on the top of the building. When the limo gets close to the building, there will be a cut-scene where Candy and Alex, I mean Martha meet. Now you will told you will need three blackmail shots and the building across the road is an ideal spot to get the photos. You can follow the pink dot on the radar to the building but its just across the road. When you got to land, land on the beach on the north side of the building. Once you have landed the chopper, run back to the front of the building and run along the north side of the building and you should find a blue open door. Run inside and follow the hall and go up the steps until you get to the top. When you get to the top, run to the window and you should be able to see the building Candy and Alex are on. Get out your camera and zoom in on Candy and Alex (the controls are the same as a sniper rifle). You don't have to zoom in all the way and you can take three of exactly the same picture. Just take the three pictures and you will know of they are good because you will hear a chime and the photos taken bar will increase. Once you have taken all three photos, you will hear Candy say she thinks someone is watching and your wanted level will straight away rise to 5 stars. Once you have taken the photos, run down the stairs again and on the last couple of floors there will be a few FBI men waiting for you. If you have a grenade you can throw it at them but just shooting them with a gun like the Colt Python is easier. Once you are outside, run to the back of the building and you should be able to get to the beach. Run back to your chopper and there shouldn't be any cops around you you should be able to take off easy. Once you are in the air, follow the pink dot on the radar back to the Film Studio. Instead of going straight to the studio. Go to Starfish island and over to the west island. Now go to the top of the island and enter Prawn Island from here. This is because the front of the Studio if covered with FBI men and cars and they will shoot at you and you won't last very long at all. Land on one of the roofs of the studio and then jump down into the pink marker and you will pass this mission. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By tweeder /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ I was writing to tell you about an easier way that I have found to beat "Martha's Mug-Shot" On Vice City. After following the stretch over to the building where Alex and Candy "Meet up" unstead of going through the side door all the way up to the stairs and such, it is much easier to do this...... if you notice on the front of that building (the one you would normally enter through the side to go up the stairs and take the pictures) there is an awning type thing sticking out of the front of the building, an awning perfectly the size of the sparrow that you are flying at the time. Simply land on the awning, get out, take the 3 pictures, get back in the sparrow and fly back to the film studio, this keeps you from having to bother with the pesky FBI. Also another way that is easier is to drive a PCJ-600 through the side door and up the stairs inside the building then after you take the 3 pictures simply drive your bike down the stairs and right past the FBI agents. Hope that these tips are useful. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By Jeff Swoboda /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ In the mission "Martha's Mugshot", just fly a helicopter to the top of the hotel acroos the street.

Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Jump from roof to roof until you reach the searchlight. Its time to pull off a big stunt to promote your film. There is a big searchlight on the top of one of the buildings and what you need to do is jump from rooftop to rooftop to get to the light. There will be a PCJ 600 at the entrance of the film studio, and it will have an arrow above it, so take that and follow the pink dot on the radar over to near the VCN building. When you find the pink marker drive into it and you will be told that the stairs lead to a lower office. Go up the stairs and follow the pink dot on the radar and the marker will be inside an office in front of an elevator. Park in the marker and you will drive into the elevator and then out. Now around the corner there will be another marker and when you stop in this one, you will be told you lave until, 7:00 to reach the searchlight or you will be seen. Now from where you start, get a big run up and smash through the window and you will go flying and land in a tunnel that is in a building and get another marker. IT doesn't matter if you don't make it because, even if you do, jump down, back to the ground. Now you are going to need a chopper. The closest one to you now is the Police Maverick that is at the police station, but if there isn't one there, you can always go and get one from the Hyman Condo hideout. Now when you have a chopper, all you have to do is follow all the pink dots on the radar and land in the pink marker and then take off. This is a lot easier then using the bike because you can fall off the buildings and have to start again. Now just fly around to each pink marker. Eventually you will come to the searchlight, and when you do, land the chopper on the roof and run into the pink marker that is next to the light and you will move it to face a building and put a picture in it to promote your movie.

You will have to be quick to get there, but if you follow the pink dot on the radar, it will take you right over there. When you get to Starfish Island, park in the pink marker that is in front of a house and sound the horn with the L3 button. The VIP will come out but a VC cab will pull up and take him. You will now need to destroy this take taxi and this can easily be done by drive-bying him. The taxi will have an arrow above it and will be shown by a yellow dot on the radar. Once the taxi is nearly destroyed, the man will get out and get into your cab. You will now need to take the man to the airport and you can get there by following the pink dot on the radar. Once you get to the airport, the marker will be in front of the terminal and once you stop in the pink marker the man will get out and you have passed the mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Friendly Rivalry | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Needed: Uzi Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 3/10 Objective: Destroy three VC cabs. You will need to follow the yellow dots on the radar to where three VC cabs are driving around. You can go to any first and when you get to them, Just drive-by them until they blow up. If you are having trouble destroying them, then you can pull the driver out of the car so that you can shoot it with an assault rifle or something along the same lines. The three cabs are driving around the west island and if your cab gets destroyed, don't worry because you can use any car for this mission. This mission isn't too hard and once all three VC cabs have been destroyed, you will pass this mission. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Cabmageddon | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $3000 Needed: Uzi Receive: Taxi Firm Asset Complete, Zebra Cab available at Kaufman Cabs. Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Go and pick Mercedes up, but find out its a trick. Survive the VC Cabs for 1 minute and then take out the head taxi driver. You will need to follow the pink dot on the radar when you start and it will take you to a huge open area at the boat yard in Vice Point. There will be a pink marker in the middle of this huge area and when you stop in it, sound the horn (L3 button) and instead of Mercedes, 6 VC cabs will come in and come after you. Now you must either survive for 1 minute against the attacking taxis or destroy them. Since the cabs always stay together, they are easy to take out. Just stop and left them ram you and drive-by one of the taxis until it catches alight. Now just drive off, before it blows and it should take out most of the other cabs as well. Either way, if you stay alive for a minute or destroy all the taxis, a Zebra cab will come out and attack you. If you want to keep this cab, then just pull the driver out of the car and run him over. But if you don't care about the car, then just drive-by it until it is destroyed and you will pass this mission. NOTE: The Kaufman Cabs asset is now complete and will generate $5000 daily. /=============================================================================\ | Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory Asset Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory is located along the Main highway of the west island in Little Havana. You can get there by following the cherry icon on the radar. Cost: $20000 Daily earnings: $3000 Background: In these missions, you will be using the ice cream factory as a front to sell drugs. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Distribution | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: N/A Needed: Mr. Whoopee Receive: Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory asset complete. Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Make deals with 50 drug users in one go. To start this mission, you will need to enter the Mr. Whoopee van that is in the entrance to the factory. Once you have entered it, the mission, will start automatically. Once the mission has started, you must play the jingle (by pressing the L3 Button) to start dealing drugs and it will draw drugies to you. Also once you start playing the jingle a counter will appear on your screen saying how many deals you have done. Once you are ready, the best place to make deals is down at the harbor in Vice Port. This is because there is plenty junkies down there and there is also a Pay 'N' Spray close by for when you get the cops on you. Unlike other side missions, there is no time limit for this mission, so you have as long as you want to drive around between deals but if you leave the van, you will fail the mission. You won't be able to know who are junkies so to make a deal just stop next someone (usually the men in blue overalls) and if they are a junkie, an arrow will appear above them and they will come up to the van and start talking. While the deal is being done, don't move or the deal will be canceled. You will know when the deal is done as the arrow above the person, will disappear and they will walk away. For every 4 deals you do, you will get one star to your wanted level so when you get one start it is a good idea to go to the Pay 'N' Spray that is very near by. The quickest way to make the 50 deals is to pull up next to a group of people so that you can do three or four deals at once. Also while you are in the middle of a deal, it is a good idea to look out for any cops that are on foot because they will pull you out of the van and will get busted. Once you have made the 50 deals, just get out of the van and you will be told that the ice cream factory asset is complete. /=============================================================================\ | Boatyard Asset Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: The boatyard is at the bottom of the west island in Vice Port. You can get there by following the anchor icon on the radar. Cost: $10000 Daily earnings: $2000 /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Checkpoint Charlie | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $5000 Needed: Squalo/ Cuban Jetmax Receive: Boatyard asset complete. Mission Difficulty: /10 Objective: Collect all the packages in 2:30. To start this mission, just run down to the jetty of the boatyard and you should find two boats in the water. Entering either will trigger this mission. Both boats are different and handle better. The one to the left is the Squalo (yes, the one you steal in a mission for Diaz) and the other is the Cuban Jetmax, also seen in a mission. The Squalo is faster then the Jetmax but has poorer handling, while the Jetmax is slower but has better handling. It doesn't matter which boat you enter because of the difference, but I prefer the Squalo (mainly because it looks better. Once you enter the boat, you will trigger the checkpoint race to begin. You will have 2:30to collect all the packages/ checkpoints, which is plenty of time but that is of you don't make any mistakes. On the radar, the pink dot will show the checkpoint you are going after and the red one is the next checkpoint you need to get. I brake this mission into three parts. The first if once of the hardest because you will be making a lot of sharp turns and will have to go slower. The second part is very short and is just a few jumps over some ramps. This is by far the hardest part because if you make a mistake, you will automatically have to restart as there is no chance you will recover. Then the last part is very long but is very linea so you will be able to get a lot of speed. When you start, the first package is right in front of you and once you get it the next two will be just behind that in a straight line. Once you get the third package, you will need to make a very sharp turn right to get package #4. Make a slight left in your path and package #5 will be next to one of the huts in this area. You will now need to do a complete 180 degree turn around the hut and get the next package next to another hut. Go straight and you will get package #6, which is the last checkpoint in this part. Turn left a little to line up with the ramp and slow down a little so that you can make these jumps correctly. There will be another ramp in line with the last one, but once again don't go too fast but not too slow either. You want to go at a speed where you can easily control your boat and not land too far away when you land. The third and last ramp will be a little to the left so you will have to completely stop and line up again before trying to jump it. If you miss a jump or checkpoint, or land on one off the jetties, you may as well reload the game because you will have no chance of completing the race. Once you come out of the jumps area, you will have finished the hardest area and now all you need to do is floor it for the rest of the way. Package #10 should be in front of you and when you get this one, turn right a little and get the package that is under the bridge. Once you come out from under the bridge, turn right and you should see another package out from the edge of the island. If you keep going straight you will get another, which is in the entrance of a canal. Now follow this canal and you will get most of the rest of the packages. The rest of the course isn't very hard and there isn't very many sharp turns, however, there is many things to be careful of like jetties that are sticking out and boats. When, you get to the last checkpoint, it will be red instead of blue, you will pass this mission. /=============================================================================\ | Sunshine Autos Assets Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: Sunshine Autos is just north of the airport and is in Little Havana. You can get there by following Sunshine Autos' icon on the radar. Cost: $10000 Daily earnings: $9000 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Strategy Sent In By Jobu Dudley /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ This is Jobu Dudley...but anyways I'd suggest to do the Import/Export list before, this way you'll have 3 fast cars...the Deluxo, Sabre Turbo, or Hotring Racer...tne Hotring Racer is the fastest car in the game...and it's very tolerable of damage. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Strategy Sent In By Madzimoo /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Firstly, Complete the four lists of cars that are on the wall and then a Hotring Racer will appear upstairs in Sunshine Autos. I suggest using this as it is the best car in the game by miles. If you still don't win with the Hotring Racer I suggest finding the Rocket Launcher. You can find it close to the airport, at Phil's Place(after completing his missions) or by cheating (Weapon #2 Cheat). Then just stand in the middle of the road, a short distance away from the cars. Aim at the car that is infront of one of the other cars and fire. Then quickly blow up the other car. Then just drive around the track in any car you like. You can pretty much do this on all of the races. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Terminal Velocity | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $400 Entry Fee: $100 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the airport. I find that this is one of the hardest checkpoint races at the Sunshine Auto billboard as it is the shortest, which means that if you make a mistake, you probably won't have enough time to gain the lead again. To enter this, and all the Sunshine Autos checkpoint missions, just go down to the garages of Sunshine Autos and you will find a Billboard with a pink marker in front of it. Run into the marker and you will be able to choose which race you want to enter. Terminal Velocity is the first race you can choose. Once you have entered the mission you will need to get a fast car and follow the pink dot on the radar, over tot he starting grid. A good car to get is an Infernus or Cheetah and if you have an Undercover Cheetah, you can also use that and use the siren to make the cars in front of you get out of your way. Anyway, you will be able to save your car in one of the garages that are in this area so that you don't have to look for one every time. If you need one, drive around Sunshine Autos and the airport and you should be able to find one. Once you have a fast car and have followed the pink dot on the radar, you will come to where three fast cars are waiting and there will be a pink marker in the back row. These cars will be near the airport terminal and when you find them, turn around and face the way they are facing and go back to about where the airport terminal is. Now what you need to do, is drive on the left side of the road on the grass and drive-by the other drivers. This should automatically start the race and you will have a big head start on them. After the race has started, you will pass through two yellow checkpoints before turning left and getting another. You should be going north here and you will get another two checkpoints (checkpoints #4 and 5), before the road turns left. You will get another four checkpoints along this road before it turns left. You will get another checkpoint along this short road before turning left again and getting another. Straight after turning left, you will need to take another left turn so that you do a complete 180 degree turn. You will get checkpoint #12 before turning right, onto a bridge-like road. Be careful along this road because there is no barrier on the sides of the road so you can easily fall off and lose all chances of winning the race. You will get three checkpoints along this road, the last being just before turning right. Once again be careful at this turn because if you make a mistake, you can easily go flying off the end of the road and lose the race. The next checkpoint will be in the middle of an intersection, but at this intersection, go straight and you will be able to get another checkpoint just before the road turns left and you will be back at the airport terminal. The next checkpoint will be along this road but as soon as you get it, you will need to turn right and you will be on the road, that goes right next to the terminal. This road is shapes is a semi circle and the next checkpoint is in the middle of it. When you come to the end of this road, turn right and you will get the second last checkpoint straight away. Now just go straight, along this road and you will get the last checkpoint, which is red. Now if you are the first to get to here, then you have one this race. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Ocean Drive | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $2000 Entry Fee: $500 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the main straight of Ocean Beach. This is the easiest street race that you will have to race at the Sunshine Autos yard. Basically, this is a drag from the top of the main stretch in Ocean Beach and back again. Once you have started the mission, get a fast car and follow the pink dot on the radar over to Ocean Beach on the east island. The start of this race is at the very top of the main highway of Ocean Beach. 4But the start is in Washington Beach, near the police station. At the starting grid you will find three cars waiting for you and to start, just use the same technique as in the previous race. Just go back behind them to get a run up and what you need to do, is drive on the side of the road and drive-by the other drivers. This should automatically start the race and you will have a big head start on them. Now that the race has started, just drag the other cars down the highway while getting all the checkpoints. The checkpoints are very easy to get as they are all in a line and not to hard to get. The only thing you will have to worry about in this race is the traffic and trying not to get hit by any. When you get to the bottom of the island and the road starts to curve right, you will need to take the first turn on your right and follow this road. This road is straight, all the way back to the end of the race, however the road will curve left and right a little. The road is also a lot smaller so you will find it harder to dodge traffic. Just continue following the checkpoints and when you get back up the the very top, turn right and you will come to the last checkpoint which is red. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Border Run | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $4000 Entry Fee: $1000 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the Little Havana. This tace can be hard or easy depending on a variety of things. The first is that if you look around the Little Havana area, you will notice that there is no good cars and that they are all the crap ones. This will be the same for the race. Because Little Havana is the poor area of Vice City all you will come across is the Manana and cars like that. This will mean that you will have to be extra careful not to damage the car too much and get into too many crashes because if your car crashes, you won't be able to find another fast one. Another factor that I have noticed is the weather. The best time is to do the race when it is raining, if you can for a few reasons. The first is that I find there is less traffic on the road, meaning less things too hit. Another that I have noticed is that the opponents will continually spin out or crash because of the wet surface. This can work to youadvantage, but it can also be a disadvantage. You will also spin out easy and crash and your braking ability will be dramastically lower. So if it is raining, go a little slower then you usually would and brake a lot earlier. You should be able to just drive through the track and be able to win because your opponents always crashed, not because you floored it the whole time. Once you have entered this mission from Sunshine Autos, follow the pink dot on the radar just north and you will come to the start of the race, near the Cuban's Cafe. To start the race, just go back behind your opponents to get a run up and what you need to do, is drive on the side of the road and drive-by the other drivers. This should automatically start the race and you will have a big head start on them. Another thing I have noticed is that because the start is on the corner of a street, there is a few cars in front of behind of the starting grid. What you can do is steal 2 or 3 cars and place them horazontally across the road to block the other cars path. However, this should not block your path so you will be able to cruise by. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Capital Cruise | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $8000 Entry Fee: $2000 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 6/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the south part of the east island. This is yet another one of the easier races. It is a bit like the Ocean Drive race because basically there is two straights. The roads aren't technically the road isn't straight. It veers left and right, but doesn't have any sharp turns. The road is also a two way road with only one lane going either way, so you are going to have to be very careful of things like cars coming the other way and lamposts and other objects on the side of the road. The start of the race is in the construction area on the east island, near the construction site you took missions from Avery from. It is also very close to the Starfish island bridge, so take that bridge to get there. When you find the three cars, they will be facing south, so get behind them and face the same way. Just like always drive by the side of the road and drive-by the opponents for a quick start. This will also give you a little lead. You way need to knock over a lightpost to clear the way, so be careful when you are doing that not to damage your car too much or bumb the other drivers. Once you have started the race, all you need to do is drive south along the road and you will pass Ken's office as well as one of your hideouts. When you get to the Washington Mall, you will need to turn left and follow this road /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Tour! | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $20000 Entry Fee: $5000 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the south part of the east island. This is the first long race you will have been in. This can be a great advantage to some players, however, for some players it can be a great disadvantage. Because of the length of the race, it allows for some errors to be make. Unlike some races like Terminal Velocity, which are very short this race is the second longest race meaning that you can make a mistake or two and still be able to catch up to the leader and win the race. But for players that can race for long periods of time, then this will be the easiest race so far. This race takes place over in Vice Point, on the west island, which is fairly open, meaning you will get a few straights where you can get some speed, and not many sharp turns, however, there is one or two very sharp ones so be careful. If you destroy your car, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding another, as there is a few areas in Vice Point, where good cars spawn. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | V.C. Endurance | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $40000 Entry Fee: $10000 Needed: Fast Car (Infernus, Cheetah, Deluxo) Receive: Nothing Mission Difficulty: 5/10 Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around Vice City. Ahh, the mighty endurance. This is by far the longest race in the game and you will be going all over Vice City, so be prepared. Once again, because this race is so long, it can be good for some of you enthusiastic players, but bad for others. Your main goal of this race is to try and not crash to ofter, because if you do, you will need to change cars two or three times during the race and this can waste a lot of time. When you have your fast car (go the Deluxo all the way!!!) you need to get to the starting grid. Now this can be very tricky so listen carefully to what I say. First off, leave your garages, by going up the ramp and go to the front entrance. Now be very careful or you could get lost here. Now go left, that left, and follow the street for about 100m and you will come to the starting grid. Whew, that was some hard work. Just kidding. Now from the start, start the normal way, you should know how by now, if you used my guide for the other races. Lastly, try not to fall too far back behind the leader, otherwise you have a small chance to catch it. If you do fall too far behind then restart and try again. This race is a good challenge, fun for some, and annoying for others, so good luck. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Garage List 1 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 per car delivered, $20000 for full list delivered Objectives: Collect all Six cars on the list List: Landstalker Idaho Esperanto Stallion Rancher Blista Compact Landstalker: You can find one of these at the dirt track on the west island. Just look on your map that you got in the game and you will be able to see where it is. Its at the very north of the island. You can get there easily by just taking a chopper there. It will be parked next to a dirt bike. Idaho: Esperanto: This can be a very had car to find. Your best chances of finding it are in Little Havana or Haiti or in Vice Point. Also try driving a lower class around while looking for it because this sometimes helps Stallion: You shouldn't have too much trouble looking for one because they are everywhere. Best chances of finding it are in Little Haiti or Little Havana. Rancher: You can find one parked in Ocean Beach. To get there, start at the Ocean View Hotel. Go south along the main highway, and turn off on the second road on your left. Now go down this road and look on the left and you should see one parked. But you should be able to easily find one driving around Ocean Beach because they aren't that hard to find. Blista Compact: You should be able to find one of these anywhere on the west island, but they appear more in the middle of the island. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Garage List 2 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 per car delivered, $20000 for full list delivered Objectives: Collect all six cars on the list List: Sabre Virgo Sentinel Stretch Washington Admiral Sabre: You should be able to find one driving around Little Havana or Little Haiti. Virgo: I found that these cars appear more when you are doing a Vigilante mission. So get a cop car and go down to the Downtown area and do them until one appears. Sentinel: There is one in the showroom of Sunshine Autos. Stretch: You can find one of these at the front of your mansion on Starfish Island. Washington: Admiral: You can find one at one of the mansions on Starfish Island. From the entrance of your mansion, go left and right, just before the bridge off the island. It is the second turn on the right. Now pull up on the side walk so that your car is against the wall. Now jump onto the car and then jump over the fence and hedge. Here you should find one. Now to get out, just jump over the ramp, into the next yard and go right, back onto the road. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Garage List 3 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 per car delivered, $20000 for full list delivered Objectives: Collect all six cars on the list List: Cheetah Infernus Banshee Phoeniox Comet Stinger Cheetah: can can find this car, parked at one of the mansions on Starfish Island. From the entrance to your mansion, go right and then left straight away. Then the house is the first on your right. Its actually not very far from your own mansion at all. However, you should be able to find one driving around because this is a very common car. You should be able to find one driving around Starfish Island or the Ocean Beach area as well as turning up every so often in other places. Infernus: You can find one outside your mansion next to the garage. If not, you should be able to find one driving around Starfish Island or the Ocean Beach area as well as turning upevery so often in other places. Banshee: You can get one of there, parked outside one of the mansions on Starfish Island. To get there, go left from the entrance to your mansion and look for the road on your right. Once you pass this, go into the second mansion on your right and you should see one in the driveway. If one is not there, then you should be able to find one driving around Starfish Island or the Ocean Beach area. Phoeniox: You will need a chopper for this one, so get one from your Starfish Island Mansion, because this is the starting point. From the roof of the mansion, go due north and you will pass two houses before hitting the water. The second is the one you want. Land in the backyard and run over to the garage and you should see a Phoeniox. Now all you have to do is go around the house and use the ramp to get back onto the road. Comet: There is one parked out the entrance of the golf course. If you can't find that one then there is also one on Starfish Island. From the entrance of your mansion, go right and then left straight away. Now go down this road and go through the second driveway, the one with only one of the gates open. Drive in and over to the garage and you should see it. And if you can't find either one there try Starfish Island. This is where all the fast cars are. Stinger: You can find these driving around Starfish island. Just drive around there for a while until one appears. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Garage List 4 | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $500 per car delivered, $20000 for full list delivered Objectives: Collect all six cars on the list List: Voodoo Cuban Hermes Caddy Baggage Handler Pizza Boy Mr. Whoopee Voodoo: Go into Little Haiti and you should easily find one because it is a gang car. If you can't find one, you should find one near Kaufman Cabs. If you still can't find one, there is one that is outside Auntie Poulet's house. Cuban Hermes: Again, this is another gang car, the Cubans, which means that you should easily find one in Little Havana. However, these seem to spawn less then Voodoos do. Caddy: If you are very, very, very lucky, then you may find one driving on the road around the Leaf Links Golf Course. Baggage Handler: This is easy too. Just get a chopper and fly over to the airport. Then just fly around the run ways and you should be able to find one. If this doesn't work, then try somwhere else in the airport. Pizza Boy: Another easly one. Just go to one of the pizza places in Vice City (the closest one to Sunshine Autos is in Little Haiti. Then when you get there, push the bike away from where it is with a car so that you don't start the pizza boy mission. Mr. Whoopee: This ones easy. Just buy the Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Factory and take the Mr. Whoopee van that appears at front. /=============================================================================\ | Pole Position Strip Club Asset Missions | \=============================================================================/ Location: Sunshine Autos is just north of the airport and is in Little Havana. You can get there by following Sunshine Autos' icon on the radar. Cost: $40000 Daily earnings: $3000 There actually isn't any missions that you need to complete after purchasing this asset. But there is still something that you need to do before it will start to produce revenue. Go into the club and go into the back hall and you will see two doors leading into some small rooms. When you enter one you will be treated to a dance. To complete the asset, you must spend at least $600 dollars in one sitting. It is a good idea to note how much money you have before entering so that you can count until you have spent the $600. Spending this money takes a long time because you will spend 3 dollars every few seconds. So once you have entered the room and noted how much money you have, go off and do something else (make a sandwitch prehaps) and check on it ocationally. Then once you have spent the $600 leave the room and you will be told you have completed the asset. I hope that wasn't too hard for some of you players ;) /=============================================================================\ | 6. Hidden Missions | \=============================================================================/ /=============================================================================\ | Hyman Memorial Stadium | \=============================================================================/ The first thing that you should know is that to enter these missions, the time must be between 8:00 and midnight.

Its the one that is connected to North Point Mall. Mission Difficulty: 4/10 Objective: Win the flying face. This is by far the easiest RC mission that you need to complete. If you have flown the Skimmer, then this mission will be made a lot easier to control too, because you know the controls (they are exactly the same) and also have an idea on handling. To take off, just accelerate and then when you are near the end of the car park, take off by holding down. Once in the air, get used to the controls and then start following the checkpoints. Once of the hardest things about this mission is making sure that you are level with a checkpoint and don't go under it or over it. You also don't want to crash into something because then you have to take off again and this wastes time. Use your radar to see where the next checkpoint is because sometimes you can't see them and may go in the wrong direction. Other then that, there is nothing you should worry about in this mission and should be able to pass it on your second or third go. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | RC Bandit Race | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $100 Location: At the dirt track on the east island. It is at the north of the island in Vice Point. Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Complete the race. For some reason, I found this the hardest race. This is proberly because of the stiff competition by the computer. If you make one mistake, it can put you from first to last. Because the track is dirt, you have to be careful because you can easily spin out. Also, try to stay off the edges of the track because you will more then likely slow down or spin out. And even the smallest mistake can be costly. If you feel you have no chance of winning then you can destroy the car by pressing the Circle button and starting again. You will also need to complete two laps of the track, which may not seem much, but for an RC car is quite a lot. It may take you a few goes to get this right, but if you learn the track, and the best areas to drive on, you should be alright. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | RC Raider | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Pay: $100 Location: At the airport. From Sunshine Autos go south and down when you get to the intersection. You should come to the Cargo terminal and an entrance into the airport. Next to this is the Top Fun van parked in the corner. Mission Difficulty: 7/10 Objective: Collect all the checkpoints. This is the second hardest RC missions, basically because of the handling of the heli. It it very sencitive and you only have to tap forward for the heli to nearly do a flip. It may take a few goes and you will still have trouble controling the heli. You have unlimited time so the key to passing is to go slow because if the heli blows up, thats it, the mission is failed. Most of the checkpoints are easy to get however there is a few difficult ones. The two hardest are checkpoints 8 and 14, which invoplve you getting into a very tight spot to get to them. You best bet for these is to go VERY slowly and slowly edge in and then edge out. There is 20 checkpoints that you need to collect and here is a list of all the checkpoints: 1. On top of two containers stacked on top of each other. 2. In the middle of a helipad. 3. On the floor in the middle of a runway. 4. On the roof of a radar tower. 5. In the middle of three ramps that are next to each other. 6. On the roof of a hangar. 7. In the middle of a different three ramps sets. 8. Underneath a plane that is in a hangar. 9. In between a building and hangar. 10. At the top of an antenna that is on the same roof as the last checkpoint. 11. Underneath a big ramp that is upright. 12. Next to a set of stairs that goes on the side of a plane. 13. Underneath a loading bridge, that is coming form the main terminal. 14. At the same Loading Bridge, however, at the very start just under the roof of the main terminal. 15. Underneath a different loading bridge that is connected to the main terminal. 16. In the middle of a big billboard of a surfer and a wave, that is at the front of the main terminal. 17. On top of a hangar. 18. Underneath a big ramp that is at the end of one of the runways. 19. On top of a different hangar. 20. Back at the building where you started, it is in the middle of all the containers. /=============================================================================\ | 7. Final Two Missions | \=============================================================================/ I have had a large number of e-mails concerning how you access the last two missions "Cap the Collector" and "Keep Your Friends Close..." That is why I am adding this section to make everything as clear as possible. So take note. As of this next update, Version 1.5, I will NOT answer any more questions about the last two missions or how to get them. All you need is here so read on and find out the truth. Firstly, in the earlier versions of the guide, I stated that you must complete all the missions and asset properties except for the Pole Position club and Sunshine Autos, which seemed resonable to me because they are the two less important assets. However, after many e-mails this has been proved WRONG. Now I know that this is what you must complete to get the last two missions: All main missions and all assets exept for two. Now this can be ANY two including The Malibu Club, however, I strongly doubt that you can't the the Print Works (because this is the main story and area that the story follows. Here is a few things sent in from readers concerning the issue. Hello there, First of all, I have to tell you that you have a great Walkthrough which I used a lot and helped me a lot...altho on some parts I used my own strategies, it was still VERY handy. Second, I found a problem in the FAQ part of it. It's the last question, the answer you gave is that you need to finish all story mission + all asset missions except pole position and sunshine autos. So, there would be: - Malibu Club - PrintWorks - Cherry Popper's Ice Cream Factory - Boatyard - Film Studio - Kaufman Cabs I didn't do the Malibu Club, I did the other ones (didn't have enough money for the Club ;-) ) plus the Pole Position, and I got access to the last two missions. There are two possiblities: 1. The Malibu Club is not a required Asset. 2. You have to do six of the assets no matter which of them (I did pole position). Just wanted to inform you and thank you for the great job you did on that Walkthrough. /=============================================================================\ | 8. Frequently Asked Questions | \=============================================================================/ Q: We are trying to figure out what to do next...we have not been assigned a mission...we just got done with the mission where we got a helicopter...I think it was called "messing with the man"...but we haven't been assigned any new mission...I was wondering if you knew what to do A: To answer you question, you could always go and buy one of the asset properties and do the missions that are there. There is plenty of assets available, which include the Malibu club, the film studio, print works and so on. The missions for gangs and people are just the beggining. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: I need to know how to enter the mission keep your friends close. A: You must complete all of the story missions (i.e. Ken, the Colonel, Diaz, Vecetti) and all the assets except for the Pole Position club and Sunshine Autos. Then you should get a call from Ken saying that there is a problem at the Print Works. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: Hey I have a question about "The Fastest Boat" mission for Diaz. The building with the switch is not open. Is there another way to lower the boat... or get into the building? A: The building with the switch should be open. If it isn't then you must be looking at the wrong building. The door to the building is the side closest to the water. It isb't really a door, but a whole section of wall taken out, plus I don't think that that door is never locked. It should always be open. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: I am halfway through Vice City and can not figure out what to do next. I robbed the bank, did all the things for Phil and I see the next mission is Cap the collector. I can not find the marker where to start this mission. I own the boatyard and Sunshine Auto, do I have to do those missions first? All day I've tried to figure out where I need to be to get something going and I am at my whit's end. Can you please help me out?? A: If you are trying to get the last two levels 'Cap the Collector' and 'Keep Your Friends Close...' then you must complete all of the story missions (i.e. the Colonel, Diaz, Vecetti) and all the assets exept for the Pole Position club and Sunshine Autos. So this means that you must complete the following asset missions. - Malibu Club - PrintWorks - Cherry Popper's Ice Cream Factory - Boatyard - Film Studio - Kaufman Cabs |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: Hey you said that to get to "Cap the Collector" and "keep your friends close..." You must complete all the asset missions except Pole Position and Sunshine Autos. Well, I find that not true. I've completed: Pole Position, Sunshine Autos, The Malibu club, Kaufman Cabs, Cherry Popper's Ice Cream Factory, and just completed Print Works. I have not completed the boat yard or the Film Studio. A: I have had a lot of e-mails about this. From what I can understand from everyone, you must complete all the assets except for two of them, before you get the last two missions. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: Hey, I have been trying to get the Hunter Helecopter. I have found all 100 packages, but now I need the cop uniform. I have finished No Escape, but when I go back to the station after finishing the mission and dieing, it is not there. Do I have to finish other missions to have it delieverd there? A: The mission where the uniform appears if after Cop Land. Once you have finished this, go to the Police Station in Washington Beach and go inside, now go left and into the change rooms and you should see the uniform. You will get a two star wanted level, but as soon as you change into the uniform, it will go away. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: The location of the stretch car. 2 other friends of mine have told me that the car is kept at Vercetti/Diaz mansion. I have only the final mission and the car lists to complete so find it very odd that the stretch is not there? Do you know any other users that have had this occur? Thanks, all the best A: The Stretch will only appear there some of the time, so if its not there, do a few laps of Starfish Island or go for a drive and then come back and see if its there. That is the only spot i have seen it parked unless you are lucky enough to find one driving around. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Q: sorrie for bothering u, but just dat i'm confused at da sunshine autos. i completed all six street races and now i'm soppose to find da cars. wen i find a car do i bring it back to da sunshine autos and put it in da garage? thx for ur time David Chen A: Yes. There is a garage next to the respray shop and thats where you bring the cars too. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| /=============================================================================\ | 9.
