Basic Story
Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty city after a
long stretch inside, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old
boss, Sonny Forelli. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in
the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City, Tommy is set up
and loses everything, Sonny wants his money back, but the biker
gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way.
Most of Vice city wants Tommy dead. His only option is to fight back
and take over the city himself.
Your wanted level
This part of the walkthrough contains information regarding your
wanted level, who will come after you if you have a certain number of
stars, and how to get rid of them.
* One star is never much of a problem. You will get at
most two policemen after you who will hit you with their night
sticks. Simply drive around a bit and they will go away, eventually.
** Two stars is a bit more serious than one star. Cops will
now come after you in their cop cars and will begin shooting at you
with pistols, so you aren't entirely safe. Get to a pay n' spray to
avoid getting either busted or wasted.
*** This is where things turn nasty. The cops now bring in
their helicopters and undercover cops in cheetahs and banshees.
These are a bit faster than normal cop cars and they will screw you
up big style as they set up road blocks with spiked traps that bust
your tyres. So, get to a pay n' spray to get rid of them.
**** OK. Now we have major problems. The Vice City SWAT team now
joins the fight, and they have rifles that can take you out in
(literally) ten seconds. Get to a pay n' spray immediately, you
cannot win this fight.
***** At five stars, all hell breaks loose. The FBI comes to join
the party. They bring with them their MP5s and their fast ranchers
which will make mince meat out of you so get to a god damn pay n'
spray, pronto, unless you have a death wish.
****** BIG PROBLEMS!! Now, the army gets involved and there is no
way to fight back. They bring in their tanks, Barracks OL and an
inexhaustible amount of military back. The only way to survive is
either steal a tank (very risky) or to get to a pay n' spray quickly.
NOTE: Six stars cannot be obtained until the mission "Sir Yes Sir!"
has been completed.
Cast
There are many new and exciting new characters in Vice City, many of
whom are important to the storyline. Some will be known already to
you, but some won't, so I've listed them all. By the way, if anyone

given credit in the "thanks to" section at the end of this FAQ.

Good citizen Bonus
The good citizen bonus is an easy way to get money. If you see a cop
chasing someone, knock eight barrels of hell out of the person he is
chasin. This will get you $50. Then, kicking him while he's on the
ground will also earn you $50, this works for five - six kicks.
How to make easy money
In Vice City, money actually serves a purpose, unlike GTA III where
money was an absolute joke and bought you nothing at all. In this
game however, you need money to get anywhere. There are properties
and assets that are available for serious money and you need to buy
your weapons and protection. The first way to make money is, of
course, doing missions. Doing missions will earn you a lot of money
but will also have an effect on the game itself, i.e anger gang
members etc. The next way to earn cash is to do one of the four R3
missions. The best one is the taxi because the people pay more for a
taxi than for an ambulance or something. The best technique to get
money however, is to rob stores- something new in GTA. Simply walk
into a shop and point a gun at the bloke behind the counter. Money
will then start appearing on the counter, a maximum of three bundles
will appear, simply collect them and exit the shop, the only problem
with this method though is that you get one star per bundle of cash
that appears on the counter, so in the end you end up with three
stars which isn't good. So, try and rob stores that are close to a
pay n'spray or that have an easy escape route from them. By far the
best method is Sunshine Autos. Sunshine Autos is a car showroom on
the west island, so, when you can buy it (it's an asset) do so and
complete the missions for it. Then, make even more money from the
street races. Trust me, this is an excellent way to make cash, I made
$4 000 000 using this method.
How Not to die
Obviously, this section tells you how to avoid killing yourself
stupidly and pointlessly. Take heed of the advice given here as
believe me, being told how not to die is not something to be ignored,
it will help you.
If your car is on fire, jump out of it. M=More damage is taken by
staying in a car when it explodes than jumping out of it, no matter
how fast it is going.
When on a motorbike, try not to do too many wheelies and sharp turns,
you will lose health if you hit something while going at a high
speed.
Don't do long jumps unless you have to. The fall at the end will cost
you, big time.
Always try and keep your health and armour up to maximum, it will
give you more time to get away from the reason your health is going
down (attacker).
Never go up to a pack of gang members and start attacking them
without a weapon or armour. Gangs will always have weapons and will
always attack on mass.
Criminal Ratings
To raise your criminal rating simply travel around Vice City, causing
all kinds of hell and survive. If you are wasted or busted without
hitting zero stars, you get less criminal points.
To raise your media attention rating simply travel around Vice City,
causing all kinds of hell and survive. If you are wasted or busted
without hitting zero stars, you get less media attention points.

Flight Ratings
To raise your flight rating, simply fly around Vice City in the
Skimmer. The helicopter does not count towards your rating.
I don't know whether you noticed or not, but half the titles came
from the film "Top Gun", just thought I'd point that out.
Item Database
There are many useful items in Vice City, some are really useful and
some are kind of handy, how useful they are, is indicated below,
along with a description of the item.
Key - VU = Very Useful
QU = Quite useful
Armour icon - VU - When picked up, this replenishes your armour 100%,
particularly useful if you need some extra protection.
Health icon - VU - When picked up, it replenishes your health 100%
particularly useful if you are low on armour and are in the middle of
a shootout or something.
Dollar icon - QU - If you own an asset and have completed its
missions, then this will appear outside it, it gives you a certain
amount of money per day.
Pill Icon - QU - Collecting this will give Tommy extra strength,
punch people through glass, break windows, smash cars, kick that
ass!!
Police bribe - VU - Pick this up and your wanted level will go down
by one star.
Skull icon - QU - Pick this up to begin a rampage, see appropriate
section locations of them all.
Tiki Icon - VU - Pick this up to collect one hidden package, there
are 100 of them scattered around Vice City.
Weapons Database
With 32 weapons, Vice City has a lot of ways of kicking ass. Here
goes !!
Brass Knuckles - Punch someone with these on and watch the blood
flow!
Hammer - Hit someone with this to knock them down, or hit their car
to smash it up, a pretty basic weapon really.
Screwdriver - Use this to pop some tyres and generally tamper with
the cars of other people.
Golf Club - It is considered polite to say "FORE!" before smacking
someone in the chops with this thing, but no-one will mind if you
forget.
Night Stick - The stick that cops will hit you with when you're being
naughty.
Baseball Bat - Knock someone over and kill them or just smash their
car. It's generally used for smashing things up and breaking things.
Knife - Not a bad little thing. Pull this out and stab someone to
give them a nice, easy death, or just stab them once and watch them
run away with a blood trail running behind them.
Meat Clever - Generally used for chopping things up, what it chops up
however, is up to you.
Machete - Slightly more painful than the meat clever, and creates
more blood, what more could you ask for. I'll answer that, you could
ask for the
Katana - The daddy of all melee weapons, walk up to a gang and chop
them up within two seconds, using this samurai sword.
Chainsaw - Rev it up, approach someone and you've got yourself a nice
little massacre with its own river of blood.
Grenades - Throw these into a crowd of people and watch the limbs
fly!
Molotov Cocktail - Stand back, throw and we have ourselves a nice
little pile of smoking carcases and a bonfire to go with them.
Bomb and Detonator - Lob these into a group of cops, leg it and
detonate. BOOM watch them take to the skies.
Tear Gas - Throw these and people will start weeping like they've
just watched Bambi for the first time.
Colt 45 - A simple pistol, perfectly OK for a simple shooting.
Colt Python - A slower, more powerful version of the Colt 45.
Chromed shotgun - A simple shotgun, fine for taking out two or three
people at once.
Spas 12 shotgun - A shotgun with slightly more power than the chromed
shotgun
Stubby shotgun - A sawn off shotgun with a lot more power than its
two partners in crime.
Tech 9 - An uzi which is good enough to spill some blood on the
streets and sidewalks of Vice City.
Ingram MAC - A sub machine gun with a bit more power in it.
Uzi M9 - Run and fire or drive and fire, both are acceptable.
MP5 -The most powerful machine gun and it's the FBI weapon against
you and other criminals.
Colt 45 - The clot has been turned into a machine with much better
accuracy and a much quicker death.
Sniper Rifle - Run in, zoom in, pop some heads, run away. Great for
shooting out tyres of passing cars and watching them skid out of
control.
PSG-1 - A sniper rifle with laser scope which improves accuracy.
Mini-Gun - Pull trigger and watch as people start falling down all
over the place, pretty sadistic really, but who cares, right ?
M60 - Exactly the same as the one in GTA III, aim, fire and watch the
heads start to fall.
Rocket Launcher - Aim and watch everyone fall over each other, trying
to get away. Great for causing large amounts of chaos in a short
amount of time.
Flamethrower - The fire service's nightmare, go in and start making
bonfires all over town.

Stores To knock off
Some stores in Vice City can be robbed for cash, which gets you $1000
per store. It sounds like a good way to make cash, but here is the
catch. Robbing one store gets you three stars which makes getting out
of one store a nightmare. The only store you can't rob is Ammunation
because the man behind the desk has a shotgun. However, here are the
shops you can rob.
Bunch of Tools - The hardware store in Washington Beach
Gash - A shop where you can pick up casual clothes. It's in the North
Point Mall
Corner Shop - North of the Shady Palms hotel in Vice Point.
Doughnut Shop - Located along the main road in Little Havana
Pharmacy - Down the road from the music studio and it's next to the
jewellery store
Dispensary - Just down the road from the Hospital in Vice Point
Jewellery Store - In downtown, next to the pharmacy described above,
In vice point next to well stacked pizzas, and inside the north point
mall. NOTE: This one counts as three stores knocked off.
Laundry - In the northwest of Little Havana
Record shop - In the North Point Mall
Robina's Cafe - It's the cafe where Umberto gave you his missions.
Ryton Aide Pharmacy - Next to the pay n' spray on the west island
Screw This - Located in Little Havana, just off the main road
Tool it up - Inside the North Point Mall

Walkthrough
Now I've finally got through all the boring, but necessary stuff, I
can now start the mission strategies and things that will actually be
of some use. So, let's start with Ken Rosenburg.
Ken Rosenburg.
Mission 1 - The Party
A nice and simple mission to get started. The idea is to go to the
Colonel's Yacht, collect Mercedes (his daughter) and take her to the
Pole Position Club. Well, grab the nearest vehicle (there's a bike in
the alley next to you) and head towards the clothes icon on your
radar. When you get there, walk into the pink light, to change into
the "Mr Vercetti" outfit, perfect for a party. Now, get the Freeway
that was shown in the cut scene and drive to the yacht, which is
marked on your radar. Once there, walk into the pink light and, if
you wish, watch the cut scene. After the cut scene, get into a
vehicle and drive Mercedes to the club.
Reward: $100. Street clothes delivered to Ocean View Hotel
Mission 2 - Back alley brawl
This mission is also pretty simple as it gets you one of your most
used items in the game (apart from weapons). First, drive to The
Malibu club and talk to Kent Paul. He will tell you about a chef in
an alley who is waiting for someone to set up a deal with. After the
cut scene, drive to the pink dot on your radar, to meet the chef. You
now need to kill him, and the only weapon you have at this stage is
your bare hands. So, punch his lights out and grab his cell phone
which he drops. When he is dead, there will be a cut scene which
introduces your side kick for the game, Mr. Lance Vance Dance (!!) He
is a fairly rich man and his dress sense has earned him some respect
among the inhabitants of Vice City, unfortunately, his tendency to do
things before thinking about the consequences has earned him an equal
amount of enemies. Anyway, either follow him straight away, or kill
the three chefs that come and then follow him. If you choose to kill
the chefs, then be sure to pick up the police bribe in the nearby
alley. Once you've followed Lance to his car, get in and drive to
Ammunation, the local gun shop. Once you've arrived there, either go
in and by some guns if you can afford it, or just drive back to the
Ocean View Hotel.
Reward: $200. Cellphone
Mission 3 - Jury Fury
Two jury members are about to sentence a very important man and
friend of Sonny Forelli. You have to convince them, he is not guilty
by scaring the living jesus out of them. So, when the mission begins,
a car will come and run over a man, who, very kindly, leaves his
hammer behind. Tommy will then say something like "Dumb Florida
moron". Pick up the hamer, and get into a vehicle. Drive to either of
the pink markers on your radar and get out of your car. Approach the
car and begin to smash it up. After a while of you smashing it up, a
jury member will get out of it and say a random phrase, it's usually
"I can't believe this is happening!". Tommy will then say something
random, which is usually "Innocent until I say otherwise". Now drive
to the other dot on your radar, and begin smashing that car up,
again, after a while, the jury member will get out and say a random
phrase, then Tommy will say something.
Reward: $400
Mission 4 - Riot
A gang of workers are protesting down at the construction yard, and
you have to make it a full scale, inner-city riot. First, head to
"Tool it up" to get your overalls and then head to the construction
yard. When you get there, you'll see a lot of workers making a racket
and the security guards trying to calm things down (without much
success). Run in and punch about five people a couple of times to
start a fight with them. A cut scene will then kick in and the
security guards will come in and say "Alright boys, let's crack some
commy skulls". Now, head into the compound and blow up the vans by
shooting the barrels that are at either side of them.
Reward: $1000. Overalls at Tool it up.
After this mission, you will receive a phone call from Colonel Cortez
who says that you can now come and work for him. You'll also be able
to receive missions from Avery Carrington, who is the big "A" on your
radar. So, as Ken is done with you, let's pay the Colonel a visit, he
is the big "C" on your radar.
Colonel Cortez
Mission 1 - Treacherous Swine
Dead easy this mission. Grab the PCG-600 and head off to Ridguez's
apartment. When you get there, go inside and try and kill him there.
If you failed, then un-equip the chainsaw, run in front of him, equip
the chainsaw and fire, you will then kill him. You will now also have
two stars on your wanted level, so, head to the pay n'spray to finish
the mission. Told you it was easy didn't I !!
Reward: $750
Mission 2 - Mall Shootout
This mission is slightly harder than the last one, but relatively
simple nonetheless. The idea is to kill some French git who has
nicked some chips that Cortez wants. So, grab a bike or car and get
to the mall. Run up the stairs and watch the cinema. Try and kill the
French dude in the mall, if you can, it makes things a whole lot
easier. If you can't, well, follow him out of the mall, get into a
vehicle and be prepared for a chase. Either do a drive by shooting
and kill him or make him fall off his bike and then run him over.
Now, head to the pay n' spray to get rid of the two stars you will
have acquired.
Reward: $500
Mission 3 - Guardian Angels
This mission reminds me a lot of "Bomb Da Base" from GTA III. You
basically have to watch over the transaction between Ricardo Diaz (a
local drug baron) and the Cubans (a gang who think blowing the shit
out of everything is the answer to all problems). Get a vehicle and
drive to the multi-storey car park and, once there, drive up to the
level marked on your radar. Once you're up on the correct level, pick
up the weapons that are there, and who should appear but Lance. Lance
decides you're going to need some help, and that he's the right guy
to give you that help. Get in Lance's car and drive to the meeting
place. After the cinema, get to the vantage point and wait for the
Cubans to arrive. Once things start to turn nasty (when the Cubans
arrive!!!) start firing at the Cubans and kill them all. After a
minute or two, two dirt bikes will come and take off with the cash.
Get on the other dirt bike that was left and chase the thief. Either
use a drive-by shooting to kill him, or knock him off his bike and
run him over, either way, when he is dead, collect the cash and take
it back to Diaz.
Reward: $1000
After this mission you will get a call from Diaz, telling you to come
and work for him. Head to his condo. He's the "D" on the radar. Diaz
is a rather rich, but unpopular drug baron. His tendency to become
very annoyed very quickly has earned him this un-popularity. He lives
in a very big mansion on Starfish Island and his favourite word is
"Dick head".
Mission 1 - The Chase
As long as you can run fast, for long enough, then this mission is
pretty easy. A thief has stolen some cash from Diaz, and Diaz wants
you to go and find out where he is hiding it. So, drive to the blip
on your radar and, when you get there, look through his window. When,
you see some-one running up the stairs, saying "oh s**t run, as fast
as you can up, the stairs. Follow the thief, across the roof, and
when he jumps into his BF Injection, hop on your scooter and follow
him. This part of the mission takes some pretty skilful driving and
your part, and a bit of luck. There is a gun man on the back if the
car who is constantly shooting at you, and you have to avoid his gun
fire, or he'll shoot your tires out and then you have to waste time
getting another vehicle. Follow him to the mansion, where the money
is being kept, to complete the mission. "What, after all that, I
can't kill him!", not yet.
Rewards: $1000. Opening of Starfish and Prawn Island, but not the
huge one, yet. Keep waiting, you're pretty close!!
Mission 2 - Phnom Phen 86
This mission relies very much upon how good a shot you are with the
rugger. If you're not that good a shot, then it doesn't matter much,
but it does make this mission twice as hard as it needs to be, so get
some practice if you feel you need to. This skill in aiming is
something, which you must acquire, it's not something I can help you
with. This mission will probably be the first time you've actually
been in a helicopter, and it its also one of the hardest things you
have to do using a helicopter, so be aware. The idea is you now have
to get back the money that the thief stole in the previous mission,
and you also have to take out the gangs that are guarding it, from
the air !! The rugger you use is on automatic aim, but it doesn't
have a scope, so you can't zoom in on your targets. The best way to
hit them is to aim your gun at a gang member and then shoot hi. You
may hit him, you may not, it depends how good you aim was. Anyway,
wait till you see a few gang members standing on a roof, shooting at
you. You must kill them all quickly in order to obtain minimal damage
and keep the helicopter' health from being depleted too much. If you
can't shoot them all directly, shoot the explosive barrels, to kill a
group of them instantly. You need to repeat this manner of killing
until you get a cut scene. These guys must be killed instantly,
because there are enough of them to take out you and the helicopter
if they hit you, which is very likely because they are very good
shots with their guns. The solution is to blast them, before they can
hit you. This can be accomplished by either shooting them with your
gun, or shooting the barrels, which kill them faster, but are harder
to hit, as you are moving while you're shooting. After they are dead,
Lance will drop you off outside the thief's mansion to retrieve the
money. Ignore the gunfire that's coming from nowhere, because it very
rarely hits you and it is very easy to waste a lot of ammo if you try
and find the source of the bullets, it's best to save your ammo for
the gang members who are inside the mansion. Kill any gang members
that shoot at you, and proceed up the stairs, picking off any gang
members as you go, turn left and go through the hole in the wall.
Eliminate any gang members and head up the last set of stairs, kill
the thief from the last mission and grab the briefcase from the
rooftop. CONGRATULATIONS!! You've just reached a very important point
in the game.
Rewards: $2000. Avery Carrington comes back to your radar as an
employer and you've just unlocked the huge west island. You can now
access helicopters and anything else too cool for words.
NOTE: After completing this mission, you should have $14000 (if you
don't do a couple more missions), when you do, it is a very good idea
to check the property section of this guide to find out where it is,
and buy the Hyman Condo, as it comes with a helicopter which is very
useful in a lot of missions from this point on. You will also get a
call from the Colonel saying that he needs your help, but, for now,
stick with Diaz.
Mission 3 - The Fastest Boat.
For this mission, I have two strategies, the first only works if you
have purchased the Hyman Condo, or can access a helicopter via other
means, this method will make the mission ten times easier and will
reduce the time it takes you to complete it. The other strategy is
the one which is most commonly used, even though it is the hardest as
it involves a lot of shooting and dodging, not to mention very
accurate aiming on your part. The first strategy is as follows:
When the mission starts, pick up the sniper rifle from round the back
of Diaz's mansion and then drive to the Hyman Condo and pick up your
helicopter. Fly to the docks (the pink icon on your radar) and land
on the roof of the place where the boats are kept. Take out the
sniper rifle and shoot all the guards you can see. Once you are sure
they are all dead, drop down and kill the remaining couple who are
lurking inside the boatyard. Now, press the switch to lower the boat
into the water, and quickly run over to the boat and get in it. Your
drive back to Diaz's mansion should be an easy one, ignore the police
boats, as the wanted level goes when you get the boat back to the
mansion.
Now for the slightly harder (but not impossible), strategy.
When the mission begins, go and collect the sniper rifle from round
the back of the mansion and then drive to the docks. When you get
there, run over as many guards as you can until your car sets on
fire. Now, run to the switch and lower the boat into the water, now,
run like hell over to the boat and jump in, now drive back to Diaz's
mansion again, the wanted level will disappear when you get back to
Diaz.
Rewards: $4000. You will also get a phone call, telling you to go to
the payphone in Washington beach. Ignore, for now.
Mission 4 - Supply and Demand
This is another mission that depends mostly on your aim and ability
to do maximum damage to your targets. The first part is easy enough,
but then it gets tougher. Anyway, head down to the docks and you'll
see Lance, he is going to be your gun, while you drive the boat (for
the first part). The main objective is to get some cargo off this
yacht who will give his cargo to the first person who gets to him,
you have to be the first person. Follow the other boats, making sure
to be at least second and when you get to an island, when the other
boats turn right, go left, trust me, it's one hell of a lot easier.
After a bit more sailing, you should see the yacht, FULL SPEED AHEAD
MEN!! Seriously, head towards that yacht like it's a million pound
cheque or something, and you should get there first. Now for the hard
bit. If you found "Phnom Pehn" hard then you will be in hell. You are
now the gun and you have to shoot down at least three boats, all with
gun men shooting at you, one chopper, again it's shooting at you and
about five gun men all with sub-machine guns and armour. Firstly,
three boats came (I got three boats, but it may just be a glitch on
my game) it's either two or three anyway. These shouldn't be too much
of a problem, simply shoot the gunmen and then wreck their boats (if
you're feeling particularly sadistic!!) Next comes a sea sparrow,
with a machine gun attached to it. This will probably cause you a bit
of damage, but it shouldn't cause that much, just keep firing at it
constantly until it catches fire and blows up, now comes the bit that
kills most people. You will now approach a jetty with about five or
six gun men on it, each wielding sub-machine guns and armour. The
trick with these guys is to continually fire at them and you will hit
a lot of them, don't aim for them individually as that leaves you
open to attack from another angle, simply shoot continually and
you'll hit a lot of them. Now, you get a break, there is just one
speed-boat to deal with, simply take out the gun man and blow up the
boat.
Reward: $10000 (!)
You will now get a call from Lance, which is, frankly the most
pointless thing ever as it has nothing to do with the story
whatsoever. We will now return to Colonel Cortez for a very easy
mission.
Colonel Cortez II
Mission 1 - Sir Yes Sir !!
This mission is absurdly simple, and it pays so well. The idea is to
steal a tank which is being driven through town and stash it in
Cortez's lockup. Well, get in a car and rive to the pink dot on your
radar. As you approach, you should see a military convoy that is
protecting the tank, don't worry, they don't do anything, much. Drive
to where the tank is and park your car right in front of the car.
You'll now hear a sergeant say "Get that civilian vehicle out of the
way sir !!" Now, get out of the car and into the tank, now drive off
quickly. You'll notice you have (a) acquired a wanted level of 5 and
(b) the tank is on a timer. This means you have till the bar goes
completely blue to get it to the Colonel's garage. Well, push the L3
button to rotate the turret till it is behind you, accelerate and
fire the tank's gun with O to get extra momentum, this will not only
get you there faster, but will also blow up the police cars coming
behind you. Once you're at the garage, park the tank in it, get out
and walk outside the garage.
Reward: $2000
You should now get a phone call from Kent Paul, who is at the Malibu
Club, he says he has some important information for you, head towards
the Malibu Club.
Mission 1 - Death Row
NOTE: When you go to the Malibu Club, use a helicopter to get there,
and land it somewhere fairly close to the club where you can take off
with the minimum of fuss and effort.
As you've probably realised, Kent Paul is an arse of a cockney who
has far too much to say for himself. This mission is the hardest
mission you'll have to do for him. Basically, Lance decided to go and
try to take out Diaz by himself, failed and is now being held
prisoner at the junk yard and if you don't rescue him, Diaz's men are
going to kill him. For this mission you will need, a rocket
launcher/bazooka, a sniper rifle, a colt or any other one hit kill
weapon, body armour and a helicopter. When the mission starts, get in
the helicopter and fly to the junkyard. Fly low enough so you can see
the things on the ground, but high enough so you can't be shot at.
Land on the roof of a building near the junkyard, get out of the
helicopter, and blow up the cars that are blocking the entrance. Now,
fly into the junkyard park on top of the big structure in the middle
of the yard and take out any of Diaz's men (preferably a lot of
them). Once the majority have been disposed of, kill the guys who are
standing outside of where Lance is being kept. Now, fly down, park
the helicopter in front of where Lance is and take out the guards
with your colt python. After the cut scene, get into the helicopter
with Lance and fly to the hospital.
Rewards: Nothing. Even after all that effort and time. Yes. The only
reward for this mission is that Diaz opens up and Colonel Cortez
opens up, again.
As the Diaz mission is more beneficial to the story, the rewards are
greater and it enables you to do something very special and
useful, we'll go to him first, and then onto Cortez.
Mission 1 - Rub Out
This is a fun mission. The objective is simple, kill Diaz before he
kills you. The strategy however, is not so simple. For this mission,
you will need a colt or another one hit kill weapon and some body
armour and full health. When you begin, switch from the weapon Lance
gives you to the one hit kill weapon, now head up the driveway with
Lance behind you. When you approach the front door, kill all the
guards. There are two at the front door (I think) and one on the left
side of the porch, also take out any other guards that come at you.
Run up to the front doors to find out they are locked, damn!! We're
going to have to head through the hedge maze, to the other entrance.
When you enter the maze, Lance will take the lead, follow him and
kill any guards that shoot at him, we need Lance to stay alive for
this mission!! Once through the maze, you will see a door, which you
should go through to enter Diaz's mansion. Proceed round the corner
and quickly take out the two guards that are standing just round the
corner. If you need it, there is some health here as well, but at
this stage, you should be fine for health and armour. Now, head up
the stairs and blow the balls off anyone who shoots at you, just be
careful not to hit Lance, as he does like to get in the way slightly.
A short way up the stairs, you will see a corridor, follow this
corridor round and you will emerge into the main area of the mansion.
Kill the guards that are here, and then watch the cut scene. It's now
time to kill Diaz. Firstly, shoot his henchmen to simplify the task
and then go for Diaz. Take out the weapon given to you by Lance and
fire at Diaz. Now, run to another position (not too far away from
Diaz) and fire again. Keep up this routine of firing and dodging
until the cut scene kicks in, and you see Diaz die.
Rewards: $50 000, Diaz's mansion, a re-appearing shotgun and M4, a
two car garage, and a re-appearing Maverick on the roof. Not bad eh!!
We'll now be returning to Cortez for his last mission.
Mission 1 - All Hands On Deck !!
The Colonel calls you back for one last mission, and boy is it
boring. He needs to get out of town, quickly, to escape from the
French, and he needs you to take out any unwanted attention. Start by
killing the guys on the boats behind you, and then run to the front
of the boat. There's a huge blockage out front; destroy at least two
or three boats, but save your ammo. Use a different weapon to kill
the people trying to climb up the yacht. Helicopters come next, and
the hardest but fastest way to shoot them down is by killing the
pilot. Men will repel down a rope continuously, so make sure you
shoot the first two helicopters down quickly. Now, head back to the
front of the boat and kill the remaining French that are still
heading up the boat. You'll now see a helicopter approaching, shoot
it down as quickly as possible. To do this, get to the front of the
boat, and fire like hell at the helicopter until it catches fire and
explodes. Now watch the cut scene as Cortez sails off, into the open
sea.
Rewards: $ 5000 and a speed boat.
Now, we will return to Vercetti estate and deal with the business
that needs to be dealt with there.
Vercetti Estate - Mission 1 - Shakedown
For this set of missions, you'll be working for yourself, the
missions are slightly harder, but the pay is excellent. This first
mission involves you scaring the living jesus out of the shop owners
in the North Point Mall, to acquire protection money off them. For
this mission you might want to pay close attention to the fact that
you only have five minutes to do it in, I know that sounds like a
lot, but it does go quickly, so it's a good idea not to linger and
waste time in any one place. First of all, get a weapon that can
smash stuff quickly (a chainsaw is a very good choice), then get a
car (the Infernus from the front drive is a good choice) and get to
the North Point Mall, pronto. Once there, enter. You will notice
there are now a lot of pink dots on your radar. These are the windows
you have to smash. My advice would be to start with the "Gap" shop,
as that has a lot of windows to smash, then do the shops on the top
level as they do take a while to get to, and then finish of with the
shops on the bottom level, as there aren't very many of them to do.
Remember the time limit, and don't linger for too long.
Rewards: $2000 and you can now buy assets.
Mission 2 - Bar Brawl
Before starting this mission, go back to the mall and buy some
grenades from ammunation, for this mission you WILL need them. Once
you have got the mission started, hop in the car and drive to the
bar. As you approach, you'll see two guards standing outside the
entrance, run them over, then talk to the bar owner. He will tell you
about some security guards who are waiting for you at the security
building, he says you have five minutes before they come and blow you
to. Drive to where they are, and the will drive off, chase them and
kill them, either via drive-by shootings, running them over or any
other method you can think of, just kill them and head to the nearest
pay n' spray to get rid of the wanted level you should now have.
Rewards: $5000
Mission 3 - Cop Land
One of your henchmen has buggered up big time, and mis-wired a bomb
that was supposed to blow up a coffee shop that wasn't paying
protection. Now, you and Lance have to go and finish the job. Sounds
simple right, wrong. The place is now crawling with cops and they
know who the guy was working for. You. So, you have to go in there,
disguised as cops. The first thing you need to do is get a cop
uniform. So, get in a car, and run over a cop, to get a wanted level
of two. Now, get the cops that are chasing you to follow you to the
lockup that is marked on the radar, try and arrive before the cops
do. Once there, get out the car and get the cops to get out of their
cars and follow you into the lockup. Wait for Tommy and Lance to
borrow the cops' uniforms, and then get in a cop car (there's one
round the side of the lockup) and drive to the North Point Mall. When
you arrive there, go in and plant the bomb, and RUN. When it
explodes, you'll have a wanted level of five, which is not funny in
the slightest. Quick as you can, get in a non-police vehicle and
drive to the nearest pay n' spray.
Rewards: $10 000 and the cop outfit is delivered to the Police
Station in Washington. The Vercetti Mansion now generates $5000 a
day, so make sure to collect it regularly.
NOTE: These next two mission strategies apply to the final two
missions of the game, and they are only unlocked after completing
every asset, so make a note to yourself to come back here, when you
are at that stage.
Mission 4 - Cap the Collectors
Like I said, you have to beat every, not all but one, every asset in
the game to unlock these two final missions. These strategies also
contain spoilers to the end of the game so it is in your best
interests not to read this bit until you're at that stage in the
game. You have been warned!!
This mission is fairly simple. The Mafia are taxing all your assets
and you have to kill them before they tax all of them. Here is the
order in which they tax them: Boatyard, Sunshine Autos, Ice Cream
Factory, Kaufman Cabs, Film Studio, The Malibu Club, Pole Position.
Make sure you have a Colt or Colt Python, and head for the Ice Cream
Factory. The reason you don't go to the Boatyard or Sunshine Autos is
that by the time you've got to the Boatyard, they'll be on their way
to Sunshine Autos, and when you're at Sunshine Autos. They'll be on
their way to the Ice Cream Factory, and you'll never catch them. It's
much easier to wait at the Ice cream Factory and deal with them
there. Once they arrive at the factory, pull out your colt python and
blow their asses off. They will now send more mafia to the factory,
so just keep killing them as they arrive, until the mission is
completed.
Rewards: $30 000
Lance will now call you and tell you that Sonny will pay you a visit
pretty soon, so get back to the estate for the hardest mission of the
game.
Mission 5 - Keep your friends close
Well, this is it. The final storyline related mission of the game,
and it is an absolute son of a bitch. It turns out that Lance is a
back-stabbing prick and that he has tipped Sonny off about the
counterfeit cash, so now, not only have you got to kill Sonny, but
you've also got to teach Lance a lesson as well. Well, best deal with
Lance first. The mission starts in your main office. Equip your most
powerful weapon (something like a Spas-12) and, when the mafia turn
up, blow their knee-caps off. When Lance arrives on the scene, equip
your uzi and chase Lance up the stairs, firing at him as you go, with
any luck, he'll be dead before you reach the top of the stairs, if
not, then chase him out onto the roof and run onto the helipad. Once
on the helipad, lob grenades down at Lance and the mafia men below.
Once the mafia men are gone, go down to Lance and Tommy should say
"The last dance for Lance Vance!" Lance will reply "OY! I said I got
enough of that at school!!" Now, shoot him until he dies. One prick
down, one even bigger prick to go!! This is where I start playing
dirty. Run downstairs, and collect the armour, health and weapons.
Now, head out the back way, and get to the front drive. Blow up all
the limousines and mafia people with grenades and rockets. Now, hide
behind the wreck of a limousine and fire a rocket at Sonny's arse.
Wasn't that easier than trying to take him on whilst avoiding about
15 rounds of bullets at the same time!!
Rewards: $30 000, and the completion of Vice City's storyline
missions. Well Done!!!
After this mission is over, you will get a phone call from Kent Paul,
saying that he is in love with Mercedes (he's also drunk, but that's
not the point). Then, the Colonel will call and ask whether the
rumours that Mercedes is a lawyer are true, Tommy assures him they
are not, then, Earnest from the print works alls and says he's fine,
and that's the first part of Vice City done. Now for the other,
equally as important stuff that will get you 100% completion.
Non-Storyline related missions
Phone Missions
Every now and again, an anonymous caller will tell you to "Get to the
phone in ...." These calls are in fact the assassination contracts
that
appear on your stats screen. They don't pay much, but are reasonably
challenging and do require a bit of thought. The first one is in
Washington, outside the mall.
Mission 1 - Road Kill
This mission is fairly straight forward. The objective is to kill
this pizza bloke before he finishes his rounds. Get a car and head
for the yellow dot, when you see him, either run him over or do a
drive by shooting on him.
Rewards: $500
Mission 2 - Waste the Wife
Again, a fairly simple mission, you have to kill the callers wife so
he gets all her money (or something like that). Make sure you have a
machine gun, or one that you can do a drive by shooting with and head
to the pink blip on your radar. Wait till the wife gets into her
comet, and begin the chase. Try and get along side her and repeatedly
shoot her car until she catches fire.
Rewards: $2000
Mission 3 - Autocide
This is a slightly harder mission, but it shouldn't prove to be too
much of a problem. You have to take out some of these gang members
who are planning on robbing a bank, which the caller's friend owns.
You have to kill 6 targets in total and you have about eight minutes
to do it. For this mission you'll need the weapons you find near the
phone and rocket launcher. The first guy is working on an
advertisement board, so, drive to the dot and snipe him (he is
located behind the board, up high). The next two guys are in a
security van. Drive to the marker and park about 200 yards away from
the van, take out a rocket launcher and fire two rockets at the van.
Now, drive to the next target and fire one rocket at the bobcat he is
driving. The next is slightly harder, as he is on a boat, fishing,
drive along land until you can see him, and snipe him. The last
target is driving on a PCG-600. Simply drive along side him and drive
by him.
Rewards $4000
Mission 4 - Check out in the Check in
Get to this mission in a helicopter, which you should park on the
grass in front of the airport. Now, go into the airport and collect
the mission. Approach the target until the meter is about a quarter-
half full. Zoom in and shoot her acquaintances, take the briefcase
and run back to your helicopter and fly to the nearest pay n' spray.
Rewards: $8000
Mission 5 - Loose Ends
Again, get to this mission in a helicopter, which should be parked
just by the phone, but not so close that it disappears after the
briefing. Fly the helicopter to the top of Cherry Poppers Ice cream
Factory and kill the two goons on top , now, take the briefcase to
the airport via helicopter.
Rewards: $ 16 000
Avery Carrington
Avery's missions become available after completing "Riot" for Ken
Rosenburg. His missions vary from vary easy to an absolute nightmare.
Mission 1 - Four Iron
A rich man in town is starting to annoy Avery a little bit, so he
wants you to kill him. First, head over to the sports shop and get
your golf clothes, now, head over to ammu-nation and get a melee
weapon (meat clever, machete, samurai sword) and head over to the
golf course, go in and go over to the bloke you have to kill. When
you are close enough, he will get his body-guards to come and attack
you. Slice them up and then grab a caddy and chase after him. What
you have to do now is simple, ram him continually until he falls into
the lake.
Rewards: $500- Golf clothes are now available at the GAP store in
the North Point Mall
Mission 2 - Demolition Man
This mission can be quite hard, especially if you're not used to
controlling a helicopter. The idea is to destroy a building site
across the road from Avery's, which is in the way of Avery's planned
apartment block. The thing is though, you have to do it using a
helicopter to plant the bomb as the site is too well guarded for you
to plant it manually. This mission is really a test of your ability
to plant things quickly and accurately, and your first taste of
flying a helicopter. Go to the top fun van which is a few yards down
the street from where you are now, and hop in to begin the mission.
Press x to make the helicopter hover upwards and then fly over to one
of the bombs using the directional buttons or joystick. Land one it
to pick it up and fly it over to the opposite site. When you get
there, you'll see a couple of builders come running at you with
spanners, simply tilt the helicopter so they run into the blades and
get chopped up. Now, head over to the pink circle of light, and plant
the bomb. You now have to do this three more times. One bomb on each
level, once this has been accomplished, sit back and watch the
fireworks.
Rewards: $1000
Mission 3 - Two Bit Hit (only available after completing "Phnom Phen
for Ricardo Diaz)
This mission will be rather nostalgic for you if you completed GTA
III as Donald Love is in it, not the same one mind you.
Also, Avery's speech is rather like the one Donald gave you "nothing
brings down real estate prices like a good old fashioned Gang War,
except maybe an outbreak of plague, but that may be going too far in
this case". You basically have to kill the Haitian lord is attending
a funeral downtown. So, head over to the clothes shop and grab some
Cuban gear, now head over to the funeral. When you get there, you
will get a "spotted" message you now need to get to the Haitian lord
and run him over, if he gets into his car and drives away, follow
him. Chase him through town, making sure to avoid the exploding
coffins that come out the back of the hearse and shoot at his car
with your gun until his car sets on fire and he gets out, now all you
have to do is simply run him over.
Rewards: $2500 and Umberto Robina (Cuban Lord) will call and you can
now take missions from him. He can be found at his cafe in Little
Havana. Let's go there shall we.
Umberto Robina's missions
Umberto is the guy who is in charge of the Cubans and he admires your
"big cojones", whatever they are supposed to be, I don't think he is
that way inclined but, just watch yourself !!
Mission 1 - Stunt Boat Challenge
Umberto isn't quite convinced that your up to the challenge of
working for him, so he has set you the challenge of getting through
some checkpoints on a boat, under a certain time, pretty simple
really. Anyway, get to the boat to start the mission. Make sure you
don't miss any checkpoints, particularly the ones where you have to
jump over a ramp to get to them.
Rewards: $1000 and Auntie Poulet will call and invite you to come
and work for her and the Haitians, stick with the Cubans for now
though.
Mission 2 - Canon Fodder
First off, get a car that will seat at least four people, including
you, a van or taxi is a safe bet, but any four seater will do. Now,
go and head over to the Haitian factory, where the battle is taking
place. When you get there, get out a rocket launcher or any other
explosive weapon, and blow up the car which the Haitians are hiding
behind, kill any that survive the blast. You'll now get a cut scene
during which you see a sniper on the roof of the factory, blow his
head off with your sniper rifle, and continue. You will now be in a
yard where the Cubans are having a shootout with the Haitians. You
may also have noticed a van, just inside the yard you are in now. As
it happens, this van is quite important as you need to get it back to
the factory before it gets destroyed by any stray bullets or by other
means. Feel free to help the Cubans out with the gun fight, but it is
advised you don't linger in this area for too long, the chief reason
being the van. Anyway, after you've blown enough Haitians to bits,
get in the van, wait for Rico (Umberto's assistant, he was with you
in the last mission aswell) to get in also and then simply drive back
to the cafe.
Rewards: $2000
Mission 3 - Naval Engagement
The Haitians have stolen the drugs and cash that was in the van you
stole during the last mission. This has really p***ed off Umberto as
he hates the Haitians and he needed those drugs and the cash, so he
sends you to go and retrieve it. So, head over to the docks near
"cherry poppers ice cream" and meet up with Rico. When you get to the
Haitians, pull out a rocket launcher or any other weapon that does
loads of damage very quickly and blast the boats to hell, then take
care of the ones that are standing on the dock. Now, when you arrive
on land pull out your sniper rifle and pick off all the Haitians in
sight. There is one on the roof and one round each of the two
corners. When they have been disposed of, collect the two briefcases
and escape PROBLEM !!! Rico and the boat have just been blown to
bits, leaving you stranded on the island with no way of escape. The
answer to this dilemma is simply to head out onto the road (it's
behind the mansion) get a car and drive over the bridge that leads to
the western island. Then you should drive to the nearest pay n' spray
to get rid of that wanted level you've recently acquired. Once the
cops are gone, drive back to the cafe.
Rewards: $4000
As you can't do the final Cuban mission until you've done all the
Haitian missions, check out the "Auntie Poulet" mission strategies
in the next section, complete all the missions for her, and then come
back to this mission strategy.
Mission 4 - Trojan Voodoo
I like this mission. I like it a lot. It reminds of two missions from
GTA 3, the first being "Bomb Da Base" where you had to protect 8 Ball
while he planted a bomb on this Columbian ship, the second was "Blow
Fish" where you blew up the Triad Fish Factory, anyway, on with the
strategy. Start by getting a Haitian gang car, there are quite a lot
of them around Little Haiti. Then, take Pepe to the other Cubans, who
are across the road from Kaufman Cabs. Now, follow them to the
factory and enter with them, it is very important you stay in your
car until you're inside the factory, so bear this in mind. When
you're inside the factory, equip a powerful weapon (something like a
Colt Python) and start blowing away the Haitians. When you can, enter
the actual factory and blow away the Haitians in there, when it is
safe, plant the bombs. There are two downstairs and one upstairs.
Once they are all planted, you need to get out of the factory so the
Cubans at the cafe can detonate them. So, run back the way you came
to the gates, you'll find they are locked, so head right and climb up
the stairs onto the roof, run across the roof and you will eventually
get a cinema which shows the Haitian factory being blown up and
becoming a pile of dust.
Rewards: $10000 conformation from Umberto that you do have big
cojones !!
D The Haitians and Auntie Poulet
Auntie Poulet freaked me out big style, I kept expecting her to say
"Call me for your free tarot reading and 200 kg of cocan!! She is the
strangest character of Vice City and the best tea server as she puts
something in it that makes Tommy unconscious and very forgetful. Her
missions aren't very hard, put can be a pain in the arse if you get
them wrong.
Mission 1 - Juju Scramble
The objective for this mission is to get the drugs that Auntie Poulet
needs for her "special brew" before the cops can get to it. It sounds
simple, but what she didn't tell you was how many cops you get after
you, after picking each one up. You get about five stars after
picking up the first one and then, they just keep coming. Anyway, not
letting that put you off, grab a durable car and head to the first
pink dot. Climb the stairs to the roof and you'll find the suitcase
on the roof. Collect it and you'll see an army dude saying something
like "don't move punk". Now, run and jump off the roof, get in your
car and get to the second package quickly. Once the second suitcase
has been obtained and you're on your way to the third, take the time
to call in at the pay n' spray and get rid of the three stars you
will have acquired, NOTE: it is really easy to lose tons of time
whilst driving to the pay n' spray because you're constantly under
attack from the cops who keep ramming you and sending you spinning at
which point it is incredibly difficult to gain control of your
vehicle again, so watch out for that. Once you've got rid of the
wanted level, drive to the third and final suitcase, collect it, and
head back to Auntie Poulet's house.
Rewards: $1000
Mission 2 - Bombs Away
Damn! This mission is hard. It's another RC mission where you have to
use an aircraft that has some mega dodgy controls. Before you
actually do this mission for real, I strongly recommend a test flight
or two, just to get used to the controls and handling of the plane.
Anyway, fly the plane to where the Cubans are docked (it's the same
place as " Naval Engagement" took place in. When you get there, fly
over the boats so you can see the back of them, and fire a bomb at
the middle boat, hopefully, this will take out the majority of the
Cubans and (probably) all the boats, if one gets away however, don't
panic, simply chase it down and blow it up, it doesn't escape, it
simply goes round in circles. Now, go back to the mansion at the
start of the level (where you blew up the boats) and take out any
Cubans who are on the dock, you'll now get a message saying that two
Cubans are trying to escape in a car, you know what to do now, blow
them up with a bomb.
Rewards: $2000
Mission 3 - Dirty Lickins'
This is the easiest mission ever, provided you DON'T use the sniper
rifle much, it's aim is crap and it can't take out enemies "on mass"
as it were, and in this mission, that's very important. So, get to
the vantage point, DON'T take the adrenaline pill and take out your
sniper rifle. Start picking off Cubans until the first load of
reinforcements arrive, now, take out a rocket launcher and blow them
all up before they even reach the fight. Now, continue picking off
Cubans until the vans arrive, again, blow them up before the Cubans
can get out of them. Finally, a group of Cubans will appear from an
alley, take out your M-60 and take them all out.
Rewards: $5000, and you finally get shut of the crazy Auntie Poulet,
hurrah!!!!
E Lovefist - The crazy drunken rock band from Scotland
Ah yes!! The band that Rockstar themselves set up. They are a bunch
of heavy punk rockers who are permanently drunk off their ass and
drugged up to the eyeballs, and believe me, there is nothing funnier
than a bunch of drunken Scotsmen.
Mission 1 - Love Juice
A fairly simple mission if you are a fast driver and a fairly
accurate shot with drive-bys. To start off, get a fast car (something
like a phoenix, or PCG 600) and head to the pink dot on your radar.
When the drug dealer tries to get away, ram him off his bike and run
him over, or shoot him if you're on a bike, and get the drugs and
money back. You'll now get a call that says Love Fist need some
lovin' and Tommy says he knows just the girl. So, make sure you have
a fast car and head to Mercedes' Apartment. When she gets in your
car, put your foot down and drive full speed back to Love Fist, as
you have one and a half minutes before they have to go on stage. Once
you get there, drop Mercedes off to finish the mission.
Rewards: $2000 and a phone call from Paul Kent, saying that Love
Fist need some security for the tour, Mitch Baker is the man for this
and he is now open for business, but we'll stick with Love Fist for
now.
Mission 2 - Psycho Killer
Someone has got it in for Love Fist and you have to take him out
before he takes them out. Well, get a car and get to the book
signing, where the Psycho is. After the pointless cinema, follow his
car and keep shooting at it until it blows up.
Rewards: $4000
NOTE: You can't do the next mission until you've completed Mitch
Baker's missions, so see the section below for his mission strategies
and then come back to this one.
Mission 3 - Publicity Tour
This is the funniest mission ever. You have to drive Love Fist to
their next gig, but there is a bomb in the limo which will go off, if
the limo stops or slows down. The other problem is Love Fist are
trying to diffuse it are drunk off their asses (for a change) and
believe me, nothing is funnier that drunken scots trying to do
something intelligent, whilst panicking like hell. Just keep driving
up and down a straight stretch of road (the one along the west island
is a good one) until they finally diffuse it. When they do, drive
them to their venue and watch the cut scene.
Rewards: $8000, and that's it for Love Fist and Paul Kent.
F Big Mitch Baker and the biker gang
Big Mitch Baker and his gang can be found a their shop which is in
the downtown area. His missions are fairly easy and pay quite
well.
Mission 1 - Alloy Wheels of Steel
This is a racing mission, so I can't help much. What I can do though
is give you a tip that will get you a good lead at the start, or at
least give you a good start that should win you the race. When the
race starts, run to one of the racers and steal their bike, this
gives you only two racers to race as a pose to three. Now, when the
race starts, accelerate to top speed and you should be near the
front. It's now up to you to keep the lead and ensure you don't fall
off your bike and waste time. Once you've got a good lead though,
it's not that hard to keep it as the other racers drive recklessly
and are always driving into walls and things, so you shouldn't have
much of a problem in passing this mission.
Rewards: $1000
Mission 2 - Messing with the man
Different people have different strategies for this mission, but I'll
just give you the most straightforward one. Basically, you have two
minutes to show Mitch how annoyed you are and how much damage you can
do. Before you collect the mission, get a cop car and then drive to
Mitch's shop and collect the mission. When it starts, blow up the cop
car and then shoot it repeatedly and watch your chaos meter gradually
fill up.
Rewards: $2000
Mission 3 - Hog Tied
A gang has stolen Mitch Baker's bike and he wants you to get it back
for him, if you do, Love Fist have got their gig protection. To start
of with, get a sniper rifle, it will come in handy and make the
mission a lot easier. Now, get a bike (a PCG 600 is the nest to use,
but any will do, as long as it isn't a scooter) and head to the
stairs just opposite Ammunation in downtown. You'll have to jump
these stairs and get onto the roof of Ammunation. So, rev up your
bike and ride up the stairs and do the jump. Once you're safely on
the roof, take out your sniper rifle and pick off the gang members
who are guarding the bike, you may have to change positions on the
roof to get them all. Once they are all dead, jump off the roof, into
the compound and get on Mitch's Bike. To get out of this area, drive
round it until you find the short set of stairs and jump over them.
You'll now be met with three Gang Burritos and some very pissed gang
members. You must now get back to Mitch's shop with his bike. Getting
rid of the gang is easy, simply weave in and out of the traffic and
go down a lot of back alleys, once you're back at Mitch's shop, park
his bike in the highlighted zone.
Rewards: $4000 and Love Fist have got their security for the gig.
NOW GO BACK AND DO THE LAST LOVE FIST MISSION
G Phil Cassidy - Vice City's gun specialist
After buying the Malibu Club (see assets section) and completing "The
Job" you can find Phil at his place near the junkyard in Little
Haiti. He is marked with a P on your radar.
Mission 1 - Gun Runner
This is a son of a bitch to complete successfully. Get in Phil's
Patriot and head t one of the dots on your radar. When you get there,
continually ram and drive by it until it explodes, pick up the
weapons it drops and do the same to the other one. After you've taken
the weapons it drops, assholes on Fagios will come and start shooting
at you, you don't have to kill them but you do get $100 for each one
you kill, easy way to get cash if you're a bit low. Now do the same
thing to the remaining trucks, being careful not to get a wanted
level.
Rewards: $2000
Mission 2 - Boomshine Saigon
Remember in GTA III when you had to do the mission for Ray called
"arms shortage", well this mission will explain why Phil only had the
one arm and how he lost it. He was messing around with some boomshine
(moon shine mixed with a highly toxic and explosive battery acid)
when Tommy arrived. Phil offered to show Tommy what he was doing, but
it didn't work first time, so he went to get some more acid. However,
it went off in his face and blew of Phil's arm. So, Phil was drunk
off his ass and only had one arm. You now have to drive him to the
hospital before he dies of a blood clot or something, the problem is,
boomshine is so strong that you also are drunk off your ass and you
still have to drive Phil to the hospital. So, drive out the gate of
Phil's Place and into Little Haiti. Make sure you don't run anyone
over or you start getting cops after you, and trying to evade cops
whilst drunk is not an easy thing to do, trust me I know from
experience. Drive Phil to the hospital, but, when you arrive, he says
it's too public and insists you take him to a specialist he knows,
which is just down the road, once you've arrived at the specialist
you finish the mission and get your vision back again.
Rewards: $5000, and you can now buy some pretty cool weapons from
Phil's Place.
Congrats!!! You've just completed every mission in Vice City, but you
still have a lot to do to get 100% completion.
In some vehicles you can start another career by pressing the R3
button. These missions range from a simple pizza boy with a Fagio to
a cop with a helicopter that fires missiles!! The successful
completion of a certain number of these missions, unlock something
very special and all of them must be completed to gain 100%
completion.
Pizza Boy
Vehicle of Choice: Pizza Fagio
People need their pizza!! Hop on a Pizza bike and activate the
mission. You now need to drive around town, throwing pizzas at the
customers, you can only carry six pizzas at a time, which makes
levels 1-6 pretty straight forward, but levels 7 onwards require fast
driving and excellent throwing skills. You can't afford to linger on
your way back either, as you only get 30 seconds, which cannot be
wasted, particularly if you have gone back because you ran out of
pizzas and there is another customer waiting.
Level to complete: 10
Rewards for completing Level 10: 150 Health
Taxi Driver
Vehicle of Choice: Taxi (either Kaufman or Sunset)
When the mission is activated, wait a few seconds and you should see
a yellow dot on your radar, this is someone who needs to be taxied to
somewhere, park right beside them and let them clamber in. Now,
simply take them to wherever they want to go. Watch how you drive
though because if your car is too knackered the passenger will flee
and you'll have to find another one. For five passengers in a row you
get $500, for ten you get $1000, for fifteen you get $1500 etc.
Level to complete: Deliver 100 people to their destination
Rewards for delivering 100 people: Taxis can now jump over on coming
traffic
Firefighter
Vehicle of Choice: Fire Engine
Burn Baby Burn!! Clamber into the fire engine and begin. You have to
put out vehicles around Vice City that are on fire Try to get to the
fires as quickly as you can and press O to fire the water cannon and
put out the fire, watch out though. As sometimes people jump out of
the vehicles and they are also on fire, put them out and head to the
next emergency.
Level to complete: 12
Reward for completing Level 12: You are able to run through fires
unharmed, pretty cool eh !!
Paramedic
Ever wanted to feature in an episode of casualty or ER. Well, now you
can, simply by clambering into an ambulance and pressing the R3
button. You have to drive around town, picking up patients and taking
them to the hospital, drive carefully though, as each bump decreases
the patients chances of survival.
Level to complete: 12
Reward for completing Level 12: Infinite Sprint. You can sprint
without getting tired.
Vigilante
Vehicles of choice: police car, enforcer, FBI Rancher, FBI
Washington, Predator, undercover Cheetah or a Rhino
When driving any of the vehicles mentioned above , pressing R3 starts
you the vigilante missions, where you basically have to kill as many
criminals as you can within the time limit. There is a pattern to
notice which is that for every level you complete another criminal
gets put into the vehicle on the next level i.e. when you complete a
level with only one criminal in the vehicle, there will be two
criminals in the car on the next level, and so on, and for every four
levels completed there will be more vehicles to destroy.
Level to complete: 12
Reward for completing level 12: 150 Armour
Brown Thunder
Vehicle of choice: Hunter
After you have collected all 100 hidden packages, not after
completing "keep your friends close", I know some guides will tell
you it is available after completing "Keep your friends close", but
that, frankly, is a load of crap. You have to get all 100 hidden
packages for it to be available. Anyway, after collecting all 100
hidden packages, the Hunter is available at Fort Baxter Air Base,
near the airport. Steal it (use the cop uniform to avoid being shot
at) and press R3 to begin this, slightly different vigilante mission.
Basically you have to kill criminals, just like on the other
vigilante mission, but you can fire missiles at them, making the
mission a whole lot easier.
Level to complete: 12
Rewards for completing level 12: 150 Armour
Arena Missions
From 20:00 till 23:59 the arena in Downtown holds various challenges,
some being more challenging than others, but they are all rewarding
in some way or other.
1. Bloodring - A demolition derby race for checkpoints
This one took me three days to complete, it's an absolute pain. The
other drivers must be either very bad drivers, very aggressive
drivers or just completely drunk. They will ram you at every
checkpoint and will not stop ramming you until you can either escape
or lose them or you blow up. You have to get to the various
checkpoints whilst trying to avoid being blown up by the other
racers. The good news is that you only have to survive till the clock
reads one minute so it's not that long. Your reward for this one
isn't fixed, all I can say is that it is more if you manage to
destroy some of the other cars on your way round and once you finish,
there is a bloodring racer on the left side of the track, get that to
a garage quick, it'll help later on.
2. Dirt ring - 32 checkpoints, a Sanchez and no time limit
This one is also quite a hard one to do as the checkpoints in this
are even harder to reach than in the last mission. Firstly, grab the
checkpoints that are on the ground in the small track. Now, grab the
ones that require a jump to reach (fairly simple) ad then grab the
looped ones and the other kind of easy ones. Now go for the ones
which you have to cross a pipe of piece of wood (the ones that don't
have cars beneath them) and finally get the ones that are accessible
by crossing a piece of wood or pipe that is suspended over a few
cars.
Rewards: under 5 minutes: $50,000!
Reward: under 10 minutes: $10,000.
Reward: over 10 minutes: $5,000.
3. Hotring: A 12 lap race
This is not easy at all. The first six cars want to race. The last
six are hell bent and destroying everything around them. Get a quick
jump into the top five off the start and try to get up to first or
second within a couple of laps. There will be the occasional pile of
cars in the middle of the track that will ram your car and slow you
to a halt. If your car reaches a sliver of health get to the pit
stop! Losing a few places is better than losing the race.
Rewards: $500 for third
$1000 for second
$2000 for first
Rampages
There is a huge difference between rampages in Vice City and rampages
in GTA3. For one thing, there are a lot less of them and they only
have one location. I would, however, advise saving after each one in
case you game suddenly freezes or something. I have also been
informed (by email) of five little tips to make rampages a lot easier
(note: the people who contributed are given credit at the end of this
guide).
1. Having 150 health and armour
2. If the Haitians hate you then beware, the melee rampages will
3. Having full health and armour before beginning a rampage
4. This is dishonest, but what the hell!! Using the hunter's
sub-
machine guns and rockets, the tank's turret and the sea sparrow's
sub-machine guns can make rampages one hell of a lot simpler.
1. The first Rampage is located just south of the Ocean View
Hotel
(the first hotel you drove to, right at the start of the game)
Weapon of choice: Molotov Cocktails
What to do: Kill 30 Gang Members
How to do: Find a clump of gang members, get a good distance away
from them and keep chucking cocktails at them. Now, after they are
dead, some more should come along to try and help their friends,
flame them aswell. Now, simply keep flaming them until you hit
thirty, pretty straight- forward really.
2. The second rampage is located in between the lighthouse and the
main beach. If you're not quite sure where the lighthouse is, check
out hidden package 2 in the appropriate section.
Weapon of choice: Car
What to do: Kill thirty gang members
How to do: Simply drive up and down the sidewalk squashing gang
members. How easy would you like it !!
3. On a hut, south of Colonel Cortez's yacht. You will first have to
have completed the first set of mission for the Colonel to be able
to access a boat. When you can, head south of his yacht and you
should find an incomplete hut, the rampage should be pretty obvious
now.
Weapon of choice: Rocket launcher
What to do: Destroy ten vehicles
How to do: Boats are your target as you're in the middle of the
ocean. Just blow up every single boat that comes past, being careful
not to destroy your own, as you need it to get back to land again.
4. This rampage is on top of the Washington Mall. In case you aren't
quite sure where that is, it is where the first phone mission was, if
you're still confused, check the map that came with the game. Once
you're at the mall, use the ramps to get up to the top, and the
rampage will be pretty obvious.
Weapon of choice: Shotgun
What to do: Kill twenty five gang members
How to do: The trickiest thing about this rampage is that you won't
always hit and kill in one shot. So, jump down onto sidewalk and
start blowing away the gang members
5. Get to the Washington Hospital, the easiest way to do this is to
just get wasted in the general area, and you appear right outside it.
Once you're there, look for a grey L shape on your radar, head
towards that, and the rampage is just beside it
Weapon of choice: Katana
What to do: Kill ten gang members
How to do: Find a group of gang members, preferably ones that can't
cause you too much damage when they fight back (which they will).
Now, simply slash them all to pieces and try to stop laughing as they
all fall to the ground without a head.
6. Near the Ocean View Hotel is a car park. Head up the ramp at the
top end of the car park and this rampage is in the corner.
Weapon of choice: PSG-1
What to do: Kill thirty-five gang members
How to do: The sniper rifle actually has rapid fire. Don't worry
about the cops or other gang members, they won't touch you, so
have fun blowing away limbs and killing a ton of people.
7. Directly across the road from Rafaels's clothes shop is an
apartment complex. The rampage is in this complex.
Weapon of choice: Chainsaw
What to do: Kill 20 gang members
How to do: This is fun!! Walk up to a pack of gang members and press
circle to chop them up, then do the same to the others that come
along, you can keep the saw going by holding down the circle button,
so the gang members can't touch you.
8. Get to the ocean beach hotel. Now, travel down the road and the
rampage is in the second house with stairs. It's on a wall, so you
may have to jump onto the wall first.
Weapon of choice: M4
What to do: Kill 25 gang members
How to do: Firstly, I would advise staying on the ledge where you
picked the rampage up, as it gives you a good vantage point. Now,
simply aim the weapon (manually) at a pack of gang members and blow
them away, before they know what's happening they'll be dead.
9. Next to the bridge leading to Starfish Island (I mean RIGHT next
to it) are some stairs. Run up them and the rampage is next to the
long pool.
Weapon of choice: MP5
What to do: Kill 25 gang members
How to do: The first thing to bear in mind is that, for this rampage,
drive-by's don't count. What you have to do is aim at a gang member
and shoot him. Then you'll get more of them charging at you, simply
pick them off, one by one.
10. Just south of the Mailbu Club is a huge hotel (I mean it, it is
massive) head around the back of it, and the rampage is in the
bushes.
Weapon of choice: Spaz 12 shotgun
What to do: Kill 30 gang members
How to do: This is the easiest of them all!!! Simply kill one gang
member and pick off all the others that come at you. If you aim
right, you can take out two or three in one.
11. Head back to the location of the last rampage and head a bit
further north. On you left you should see some diving boards. This
rampage is on top of the diving boards.
Weapon of choice: PSG-1
What to do: Kill 10 Gang Members
How to do: Wait you stop laughing, fire ten shots at ten gang
members.
12. In the little cul-de-sac near Leaf Links. Very easily found.
Weapon: Drive-By (Uzi)
What to do: Kill 35 Gang Members
How to do: Drive around the cul-de-sac firing until you have enough
kills. This is easier on a motorcycle because you can fire
forward. Just keep killing them. If they come up to your car, kill
them before you get pulled out.
13. Near Leaf Links, on a dock behind the apartments.
Weapon: Chainsaw
What to do: Kill 20 Gang Members
How to do: Rev it up and charge at a pack of gang members. By holding
down Circle you can keep attacking with it. Just mow them down one-
by-one.
14. In the North Point Mall, there is an escalator, correct? Well,
take this up to the second level and you will be opposite the GAP
shop. Well, go right and run round the level until you come to a
plant with some bushes at the bottom and a shop that you can enter
opposite (if it helps, it's a shop that sells electronic goods) the
rampage is in the bushes at the bottom of the plant.
Weapon of choice: Rocket Launcher
What to do: Kill 30 Gang Members
How to do: An important thing to bear in mind is that when you are
using the rocket launcher, you're your own worst enemy, one mis-aimed
shot and you'll be in more pieces than can be counted. So, watch what
you aim at. Apart from that, this is a fairly easy rampage, simply
fire at a group of Gang Members and watch them blow up, be careful
not to hit any cops mind you as that just attracts un-necessary
attention.
15. Outside the doors to the North Point Mall, on the east side.
Weapon of choice: M4
What to do: Kill 35 Gang Members
How to do: simply aim the weapon (manually) at a pack of gang members
and blow them away, before they know what's happening they'll be
dead. Hint: for added blood and gore, aim and shoot at their heads.
16. There are some buildings in between the North Point Mall and the
main beach. This package is round the back of the short white and
orange building with stairs leading up to it
Weapon of choice: Colt Python
What to do: Kill 25 Gang Members
How to do: The colt python has a very accurate aim and can kill in
one shot, these facts should be taken advantage of as often as
possible on this rampage. So, all you have to do is find a group of
gang members and unload a shot into their backs, easy or what !!
17. This rampage is at the very North of the island. Near the North
Point Mall is a car park, opposite this car park is a building. The
rampage is located just behind the ramp on the right of this
building.
Weapon of choice: Drive by (Uzi)
What to do: Kill 30 gang members
How to do: Get a PCG-100 and zoom around shooting everyone (NOT
COPS). One thing to note is that only drive by's work so you can't
just run everyone over, and watch out for the cops, if you get a
wanted level, try and avoid them, but if you absolutely must then go
to a pay n' spray.
CONGRATS!! You have now completed all rampages in the first island,
now onto Starfish Island
18. This is the only rampage on Starfish Island. If you are heading
west on the main road in Starfish Island, the rampage is in the yard
of the house on the last right turn before the bridge. It is on the
left side of the road you turn onto. You need to jump over the fence
to get it, so park a car, jump on the car, and jump over the fence.
The rampage is right by the driveway near the house.
Weapon of choice: Car
What to do: Kill 35 Gang Members
How to do: Firstly, get out of the closed area via the ramp that is
against the wall, now, head towards a pack of gang members at full
speed, this should kill them and get you approximately 8 kills, now,
find another pack of gang members and do the same to them. Keep doing
this till you have 35 kills.
19. At the docks, just before the road splits, is a huge cargo ship.
Get on the ship via the ramp and look in between the maze of boxes,
it's almost in the middle of them.
Weapon of choice: Rocket Launcher
What to do: Destroy 15 vehicles
How to do: First, bear in mind the advice I gave you, the last time
you had to use a rocket launcher, avoid close range shots, as they
will backfire and blow you up. Also, whilst doing this rampage, there
is a short amount of vehicles to blow up, so I'd advise either
parking a vehicle in the middle of the road, so that you get a
traffic jam, or get some cops after you and blow their cars,
personally I'd go for option 1 as it is safer and you're less likely
to get busted, but it's up to you.
20. From the Hyman Condo, follow the road straight towards the docks
and pay close attention to the buildings on your right and you will
eventually see "Cherry Popper Ice Cream", when you see it, keep going
and take the second right. You will now be heading towards the
Airport, on your left should be a large, orange hotel, the rampage is
round the left of this building.
Weapon of choice: Grenades
What to do: Kill 35 gang members
How to do: Firstly, never throw a grenade at a gang member who is
walking by. The reason is, it will not hit him, instead it will hit
the wall behind him, bounce off and blow up, probably near you. This
not only takes some of your health away, but it also wastes a
grenade, which is never a good thing. So, on with the rampage.
Fortunately for you, there are a lot of gang members hanging around
the airport, so, throw a grenade into a pack of them from far away
(so you have time to run if some come after you) and watch them get
blown to pieces.
21. Get a helicopter and land on the roof of Escobar International
Airport. This rampage is located in one of the hills of the roof.
NOTE: Do not get the hidden package there yet, trust me, if you get
it now it will screw you up big time when you actually start
collecting them.
Weapon of choice: rocket Launcher
What to do: Destroy 12 vehicles
How to do: Stay on the roof, it is easier to see the vehicles and
easier to hit them from the roof than on the ground, and the cops
can't get you if you get a wanted level. Luckily, there are loads of
vehicles at the airport, so, fire away!!
22. When you look into the airport from outside, you will see this
rampage. So, simply head in and grab it. HINT: Follow the glass
window and you'll easily get it.
Weapon of choice: Spaz - 12 Shotgun
What to do: Kill 25 Gang Members
How to do: The spaz 12 makes this rampage incredibly easy. Simply,
walk up to a pack of gang members and unload some lead into them.
Don't worry about the cops, they won't do much to you, as you're
inside.
23. In some bushes next to the walls that surround Fort Baxter Air
Base.
Weapon of choice: Mini-Gun
What to do: Destroy 15 vehicles
How to do: As the mini gun is extremely powerful, it can blow up a
car in two seconds. So, simply stand on the pavement and fire at the
traffic coming past. It shouldn't take you that long to get 15 kills.
24. From sunshine autos (the car showroom) head north, and you'll
eventually find an alley. Head down that alley and go up the stairs
leading to the roof of a building with a red awning and the package
is just there.
Weapon of choice: Ruger
What to do: Kill 20 gang members
How to do: This a fairly easy rampage. The ruger is a one hit kill
weapon which makes it very easy to get a lot of kills quickly. So,
walk up to a gang and fire at them all, this should get you about 5
kills. Now, simply continue doing this until you have 20 kills.
25. You need a helicopter to get this one. Once you get it, fly to
the bridge connecting Starfish Island to the large West Island.
Directly across the street from the bridge is the building with the
rampage on the roof. Look at the roofs; it should be easy to spot the
purple icon. Land the helicopter on the roof and get it.
Weapon of choice: Sniper Rifle
What to do: Kill 20 gang members
How to do: First of all, the Sniper Rifle is the worst weapon in the
game when it comes to re-loading quickly, so stay on the roof, out of
harm's way. Now all you need to do is pick the gang members off from
a nice, safe distance.
26. If you know where the El Currupto Bank is, then it's behind that.
Just go down an alley and the rampage is in the loading bay. However,
if you don't know where it is then I hope you kept the helicopter
from the last rampage. Well, fly your helicopter a bit north from the
building in the last rampage and you should see a large open area,
this is the loading bay.
Weapon of choice: Katana
What to do: Kill 10 Gang Members
How to do: Walk up to some gang members and press o to use the
katana, and SLASH. They're all in pieces!
27. In the center of Little Havana is a basketball court. The
rampage is in the middle of the court. If you can't find it then use
a helicopter and you'll be able to see it from the air.
Weapon of choice: Shotgun
What to do: Kill 25 gang members,
How to do: The hardest thing about this rampage is that when you
shoot someone at close range all that happens is Tommy knocks them
down, he doesn't shoot them. So, to avoid this problem simply shoot
the gang members from across the street and you should be able to get
25 kills without much of a problem.
28. Near the Print Works is a wooden fence, and a billboard that
reads "Life's a bitch". Behind that fence are some houses and a yard.
The rampage is in the north corner of this yard.
Weapon of choice: Tec-9
What to do: Kill 35 Gang Members
How to do: First off, the tec 9 is an absolute pain in the backside
to use or shoot anything with, never mind 35 gang members. So, the
best thing to do is walk up behind a pack of gang members and let
rip, and then run when they shoot after you. Or, the easier way is to
simply shoot at every gang member you see.
29. Now, go north, towards Kaufman cab but stop when you see the
"welcome to hell" billboard. On your left is an alley, follow it and
turn left to find this rampage.
Weapon of choice: Spaz 12 Shotgun
What to do: Kill 35 gang members
How to do: Finally, an easy rampage. This gun takes out two or three
gang members at once, so simply unload rounds into packs of gang
members and watch the blood spill!!
30. Take the west bridge heading from Starfish Island. Once you get
off, head north up that road with all the palm trees. Stay on it for
a while, until you see a building with a large pool in front, with a
sign that says Moist Palms Hotel. Turn in the road by the hotel and
head towards the parking lot. Once you get in the parking lot, turn
right real quick, and right again, to find the rampage right next to
the hotel.
Weapon of choice: M60
What to do: Kill 30 gang members
How to do: This gun kills in one shot and is extremely accurate.
Simply crouch behind a group of gang members and fire at them. This
gun kills in one shot and is extremely accurate.
31. In downtown is a pizza shop. To the left of this shop is an
alley. Head down this alley and make a left at the end to find
this rampage.
Weapon of choice: Drive by (Uzi)
What to do: Kill 35 gang members
How to do: This one could mess you up, if you don't have a fast and
durable car. A landstalker is a safe bet, anyway, get in the car and
drive up and down the road by the pizza shop and drive by all the
gang members you find.
32. Do you remember the mission "Hog Tied", where you had to jump
onto the ammunation roof to get a bike back for Mitch Baker. This
rampages is on the stairs you used to jump onto the roof. If you
don't remember where the stairs are, then stand outside the entrance
to ammunation and look toward the street opposite, you'll then see
them.
Weapon of choice: Colt Python
What to do: Kill 35 Gang Members
How to do: As the colt python kills in one shot, all you have to do
is aim at a gang member and shoot him, repeat this till you have 35
kills.
33. When you arrive in downtown from the bridge coming from Prawn
Island, keep looking right and you will eventually see a fairly large
flight of stairs leading up to a building. Head up these stairs to
find the rampage.
Weapon of choice: Molotov Cocktails
What to do: Kill 40 (!!) gang members
How to do: The first thing to bear in mind is NEVER throw a cocktail
at close range, it will mess you up big style. So, stand at the other
side of the street to who you're throwing the cocktail at, and throw
it further by press O. This should take out a few gang members at
once, so you should get 40 pretty quickly.
34. Starting from the Hyman Condo, go east out through the
construction blockades. Look to your right as you go down
until you see the big "V.A.J. Finance" sign. This rampage is in the
very back of this area.
Weapon of choice: Mini Gun
What to do: Kill 35 gang members
How to do: Run up and down the street and gun down any gang members
you see.
35. To the right of the Hyman Condo are a few helipads. This rampage
is located on the walkway that leads to them.
Weapon of choice: Flamethrower
What to do: Kill 35 gang members
How to do: Always stay a good distance away from who you're flaming,
as it is very easy to also set yourself on fire as well. Bearing that
in mind, have fun flaming everyone and don't worry about the cops,
they won't do much.
Congratulations!! You've just completed all the rampages. For this
section, thanks must go to qwertyuiopasd at gamefaqs.com for some of
the rampage locations, also to AggroSk8er at gamefaqs.com for some of
the rampage strategies and locations.
RC Races
These can be found in the many "top fun" vans that are at various
points in Vice City. They don't have prizes but are very rewarding in
that some of them are so hard that just beating them is rewarding.
1. This is at the top of the multi storey car park, near the North
Point Mall and involves a plane, like the one in "Bombs Away". You
have to race some other planes around a checkpoint course. This
shouldn't prove to be too challenging as long as you make sure you
don't miss any checkpoints and don't crash too often.
2. This is located at the dirt track which is at the north end of the
main beach. It involves racing around a course against some other RC
cars. The is to get a good lead in the first lap and then keep it for
about ten seconds. If you do this, you'll hardly see the other cars
and shouldn't have too much of a big problem.
3. This one is located at the southern most entrance of Escobar
International Airport and involves using a helicopter like the one in
"Demolition Man". In my opinion this is absolute shit. The controls
absolutely suck. If you press L2 or R2, you spin out of control and
if you press forward too far, you crash to the ground and can't get
back up again without a huge struggle which wastes half your time.
The trick is, to stay at quite a low speed (about 20 mph) and not
lose too much height, this allows you to hover through the
checkpoints and you won't crash quite as much.
Checkpoint races
These are very similar to the RC races, except they are more of them
and they aren't in top fun vans, and they are slightly more
challenging, as most checkpoint races tend to be. The reward is $100
for completing the race for the first time.
Trial by Dirt
Near the Stadium on the west island is a dirt track. Hop onto the
Sanchez to begin. This shouldn't cause you much of a problem, the
only tricky bit comes when the Haitians come with machetes on the
second lap. You get $100 for beating a new record time, so do the
first attempt in something like ten minutes and then keep going back
and beating that time.
Test Track
Next to the Sanchez from the previous race is a landstalker. Hop in
to begin the race. This is the same format as the last one except you
have to be careful not to flip over and blow up.
PCJ Playground
Across the street from the Malibu is a building, hop onto the PCJ 600
that's parked against the wall and start the race. Get the first jump
and grab the first two checkpoints. Now, come off the wall and ascend
the stairs to claim number 3. Whilst gaining speed, grab numbers 4 -
6 in the alley and hit the wall at the end to get number seven and
drop down off the wall (back into the alley) and grab numbers 9 - 11.
Jump the little ramp and get number 12... Now grab numbers 13 - 17 in
the alley and drop down into the mall to grab 18 and 19. Go up the
stairs and get 20, now exit the mall and get 21 and 22 from along the
roadside. Now, rev up and head down the alley at full speed and jump
the stairs in the parking garage, grab 23 whilst you're in the air
when you land on the roof, slam on the brakes and grab 24 you should
make it with about twenty seconds to spare, if you didn't crash much.
Cone crazy
Near the Ocean View Hotel is a parking garage. On the roof is a
stallion, hop into it and begin this race. There are five
checkpoints, all of which are surrounded by cones. You begin with
twelve seconds and twelve is added to this time for every cone you
collect. So, get the first two in the top right-hand corner, on the
ramp. Now, grab the third one in the opposite corner and take the
fourth one which is in the U turn of cones, and then it's a simple
drive back to the final one.
The final four are done with the sparrow and you must have unlocked
the west island to be able to do them.
Vice Point Sparrow race
In Vice Point is a pay n' spray shop, is an apartment complex. As you
enter it, turn right and you'll easily be able to
see it.
Ocean Beach Sparrow race.
Behind the pay n' spray shop is a large, pink building. This one is
on top of that building and is best reached using a helicopter,
ideally a Maverick.
Little Haiti Sparrow Race
Using a helicopter, fly low enough to see what's on the roofs and
this one is on a roof of a building that's close to Kaufman Cabs. The
only thing to watch out for is the Haitian gunfire that you'll get if
you fly too low.
Downtown Sparrow race
This one is unlocked by the completion of "G-Spotlight", that's a
mission for the film studio which is an asset, so go do this mission
by looking up the appropriate section and come back to this one when
you have. If you can't quite remember where the office building is,
go to ammunation an head down the road opposite and the set of stairs
that leads to the office is on the left.
Shooting range
I wasn't quite sure where to put this one as it didn't seem to fit in
anywhere, so I thought I'd put it in just before the assets section
as that's where most of the guides I've read have put it.
The shooting range is in the ammunation shop in Downtown, but you
have to have completed "the shootist" mission for the Malibu Club so,
again check the assets section, complete this mission and come back
here once you have. The shooting range is the same as the first round
of the shootist. First of all, take out the back ones as they get you
more points, then take out the middle ones, then the front ones,
always make sure to shoot the head first as it's the easiest to miss.
Reward for getting over 45 points: Faster reloading ability which is
useful for a few missions and very useful if you ever need to blast
your way out of anywhere.
Assets - The most rewarding part of Vice City
Assets are a new thing to the world of GTA. They are basically
businesses that can be purchased for a fairly large sum of money,
and, after you complete the missions that go with them, they will
generate revenue for you, which can be collected whenever you wish.
Some cost more than some, so it's best to get the more expensive ones
first, so the money generated from them will help you save up for the
cheaper ones.
The Malibu Club Price: $120 000 (!!)
This is the most expensive asset you can buy in Vice City, but well
worth it, as it generates $10 000 per day, after you do all the
missions. It is located south of the North Point Mall or east of Leaf
Links, in the Washington Beach area.
Mission 1 - No Escape
This one isn't quite as hard as people make out, although you will
take a lot of hits in this mission so I would advise having full
health and armour before you begin. The whole idea of the Malibu
missions is to get together a squad of people (four) that will help
you when you rob the bank for the final mission. This mission
involves getting Cam (the Vice City safecracker who can unlock
anything) out of jail so he can be your safecracker. So, head to the
Washington Police Station and put away any guns you have out before
entering. Once you're inside, head left into the locker room and put
on your cop uniform, this will deal with any cops who shot at you
when you first entered the locker room. Now, head out of the locker
room and enter the corridor with the "NO CIVILIANS BEYOND THIS POINT"
sign. Go up the stairs until you're in the main office and grab the
card key, don't pick up the hidden package yet. Once you have the
card key head downstairs into the cells where Cam is. Unlock the door
with the card key and get ready to do some serious shooting and
running, the minute Cam steps out of the cell, every cop in the
station will be on your ass. Whip out your most powerful weapon and
start to run, being sure to prevent Cam being shot. If the cops are
getting too many for you to dodge, start shooting and kill some of
them. Once you're out of the cop station and get in the nearest
vehicle with Cam, once both of you are in the car, head to the
nearest pay n' spray as you'll now have four stars, which is not
funny in the slightest. Once the cops have gone, simply drive Cam
back to his house, which is marked on the radar. There now, that
wasn't too bad was it !!
Reward: $ 1000
Mission 2 - The Shootist
This mission isn't as hard as the last one, but it does depend a lot
upon your ability to hit targets accurately. Head to Ammunation in
Downtown, and walk into the light. During the cut scene you'll meet
the person who you want to be your shooter Phil Cassidy (yes, the
same one that was in GTA III) Vice City's arms expert. Phil agrees to
be your shooter but you have to beat his score of 65 at the shooting
range before he'll join your squad. So, when the first round starts,
aim at the far wall and shoot any target that come in front of your
aim. Each target is worth 3 points in this round so you should be
able to get at least 25, 30 is best as the next two are a bit harder
and the points aren't as easy to obtain. After the first round is
over, go through to the next round. This time, each target is only
worth one point so try and get at least 20 because there aren't many
hittable targets in the next round. Once you've done this round, head
through to the final round. Again, each target is only worth one
point, but if you have at least 50 points at this stage like you
should, you won't have much of a problem getting he remaining 16, to
beat Phil's score. Once the third round finishes, head back to Phil,
and if you beat his score, you now have a shooter to go with the
safecracker. Now all you need is a driver.
Reward: $ 2000
Mission 3 - The Driver
This mission really sucks ass and has annoyed me so much. Basically,
Hillary (the fastest driver in Vice City) has agreed to drive for
you, if you can beat him in a street race. You have a Sentinel and
Hillary has a Sabre Turbo, that's really fair isn't it !!
So, for this mission, and this mission only you are allowed to use
cheats to win. While the 3 2 1 is going on, very quickly enter R1, O,
R2, right, L1, L2, X, X, square, R1 to get a Hotring Racer to spawn
in front of Hillary's car. When the race starts, get out of the
sentinel and get in the Hotring Racer, now, zoom after Hillary. After
you turn the first corner the cops will come after you so get infront
of Hillary, fast and zoom off around the course, leaving Hillary to
get smashed to bits by the cops. If the cops come after you and ram
you, enter R1, R1, O, R2, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down to get rid of
them, and if Hillary comes near you, accelerate up to a high speed
and he won't stand a chance. Once you get to the finish line before
Hillary, you have got yourself a driver.
Reward: $3000
NOTE: After this mission, kill yourself to cancel the cheats, then
save the game.
Mission 4 - The Job
Finally, we get to the job. This mission is the bank robbery you have
been planning for a while, and you're now able to do it because you
finally have all the people needed, a driver, a shooter, and a
safecracker. So, get in the taxi and drive them over the bridge to
Starfish Island. Enter your mansion and get the armour and weapons
from the bottom of the staircase. Now go back to the taxi and drive
to the bank. Walk over to the bank and walk into the bushes to put on
the outfits for this mission. Once they are on, walk into the bank
and watch as Tommy, Phil and Cam take over the bank. After Tommy
leaves Phil to keep an eye on things, head up the stairs with Cam.
While you're heading to the vault, you'll encounter a few security
guards. Kill them with minimal fuss and continue. Once you get to the
vault, you discover you need the manager to tell you his code to
unlock the vault. So, head to where he is and take him back to Cam.
Now, you have to go check on Phil. So, head back out onto the balcony
and Phil will say "I said nobody move!!" some prat has set the alarms
off and you should now head down to Phil and get ready to kick some
serious ass. The SWAT team are about to storm the building, so crouch
behind a desk and shoot them all as they come through the roof. Once
you can, head outside and Phil will say "Where's Hillary, I'll give
him abandonment issues!!" Hilary will then come and try to take out
the SWAT team by himself, within two seconds he is dead and you have
to deal with the situation. Well, run out onto the road and jack a
car (the taxi will probably be destroyed by now, if it's not well
fine, use it) park up beside Phil and Cam, let them get in and go to
the Pay n' spray to get rid of the wanted level. Now simply, drive
back to Cam's place to complete the mission and get $50 000 !!!!!
Reward: $ 50 000, the Malibu asset completed, and the Bank Job outfit
delivered to The Malibu Club.
The Malibu Club will now generate up to $10 000 a day, collect it
regularly!!
The Print Works Price: $70 000
The Print Works is a very important asset because it must be
purchased to unlock the mission "Cap the Collectors", plus it's
missions are very rewarding. It is located in Little Havana, just
south of Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Factory.
Mission 1 - Spilling the beans
Tommy has decided to pay Sonny with counterfeit cash and he needs
some information on where to get the plates to do it from, luckily,
Kent Paul knows just the man.
When the mission starts, hop in the Kaufman Cab and let it take you
to the Malibu Club. Once there, enter and there will be a cut scene,
after this, head to the docks on the west island. You need to go to
the big cargo ship which is on your right, just before you enter the
docks, make sure you have full health, armour and a decent weapon (a
colt python, preferably) and walk onto the ship. The bloke you want
is on the top floor in his office, but there are loads of security
guards who, for some reason that's beyond me, don't want you to see
him. This will explain the volley of gun fire that greeted you as you
approached the ship. Make your way up to where the captain is,
killing the guards wherever necessary and step into the light when
you're on his floor to start a very quick cut scene. Once it is
finished, you need to fight your way off the ship and back to the
print works, don't worry about the cops, the print works is just down
the road from where you are now, so don't use the pay n' spray unless
you really feel you must.
Reward: $2000
Mission 2 - Hit the Courier
Now that you have the information on how to print the money, you need
the counterfeit plates so you can start printing, that's the next
job. When the mission starts, head towards the docks. Once you arrive
there don't even think about crashing in there and kicking ass,
because I promise you, it will not happen. You see, there are some
women there who are guarding the helipad where the counterfeit plates
will be dropped off and they will kill you. Some have shotguns, some
have pistols, some have machine guns, and one of them has a colt,
very nasty. So, simply wait till the courier gets into her car and
then smash her car to bits, and, when she gets out, run her over.
Now, pick up the plates and take them back to the print works.
Reward: $ 5000, and the print works asset completed.
The Print Works will now generate up to $ 8000 a day, collect it
regularly.
The Film Studio Price: $60 000
The film studio is my favourite asset because it's just generally a
cool place to explore. The missions are also some of the most
entertaining in the game and they pay well. It's located in Prawn
Island, opposite the house that "Phnom Phen" was based in.
Mission 1 - Recruitment Drive
Now for some Tommy Vercetti style casting. There is this girl in town
called "Candy Suxx" and Tommy thinks she'd be perfect for a role in
one of his movies. So, drive to Candy and talk to her. She says she'd
love to, but you'd have to talk to her agent first. Her agent then
pulls up and says "the hell are you doin'!!" which means "get lost or
I'll get my bodyguards to kick your head in!" Tommy then replies,
quite coolly "you should have stayed at home today!!" So they you
have it. You now have to kill Candy's "agent". So, get into a car and
give chase, once you get close, the car will stop and some goons will
come at you, ignore them and keep on chasing the car, ramming and
shooting it as many times as you can. Eventually, it will set on fire
and the "agent" will jump out, run him over. Now head back to Candy
and let her get in. Now head to the nearby pizza shop and pick up
Mercedes (it seems Mercedes would also like a turn in the spotlight).
Now drive them both back to the Film Studio.
Reward: $ 1000
Mission 2 - Dildo Dodo
Time to distribute the flyers for the movie. The film director says
that no one will publish the flyers because they are too graphic. So,
Tommy has had the idea of flyinf a plane round the city and dropping
the flyers out of it. So, head to where the Dodo is and clamber in.
Fortunatley, the dodo in this game is nowhere near as hard to fly as
it was in GTA III. So, there shouldn't be much of a problem. The
trick is, to push down whilst skimming along the water and when it
takes off, push up and it will level out. The problem is, if it lands
on land, you're buggered as it won't take off on land or even move,
so be sure to land only in the sea. Now, the best place to start is
Viceport, then just follow them to Little Havana, then to the airpot
and then a back to downtown.
Reward: $2000, and the skimmer will spawn behind the film studio.
Mission 3 - Martha's Mug Shot
This is the funniest opening cinematic I've ever seen. The didea for
this mission is to take some blackmail pictures of the mayor of vice
city with Candy Suxx. So, hop in the Sparrow and follow them, don't
worry about getting to close, they don't notice you even if you're
right behind them. Follow them to the hotel and watch as Candy walks
into the building where the Mayor (who would rather be called
"Martha") is waiting. When the cut scene is over, you need to get to
the hotel that is just opposite the building that Candy just entered.
Fly to it and land on the balcony. Get out and take three pictures of
them. After three pictures have been taken, Candy spots you and you
get five stars. Simply get back in the sparrow and fly back to the
Film Studio unharmed.
Reward: $4000
Mission 4 - G-Spotlight
This is one hell of a mission. You basically have to jump from roof
to roof to the spotlight in central downtown and change it so that it
advertises Candy's movie. This mission is one that I can't assist you
with much, as it all depends how well you can handle a PCG-600, but
I'll help as much as I can. Drive to the office building which is
marked on your radar and drive up the stairs. Drive round and enter
the building (you'll notice that no one actually cares that you're on
a bike and you just came in through the window !!) anyway, head into
the lift that takes you to the top floor, and get ready for on hell
of a ride. Park in the marker to see the window you are about to
smash through. When you can, rev up to full speed and go. Smash
through the window and brake once you reach the building opposite.
You're on your own now. You have to jump from roof to roof to get to
the spotlight. Make sure not to: a wreck your bike b kill yourself
c fall off the buildings
Reward: $7000 and the film studio asset complete
The film studio will now generate up to $7000 a day, collect it
regularly !!
Sunshine Auto Car Showroom Price: $50 000
This is the best asset if you like cash. The amount it generates a
maximum of $9 000 (!) once everything has been completed, which will
take a while. It is located on the edge of Little Havana, near
Escobar Airport.
Car Races
If you go to where the export garage is, you will see a pink circle
infront of a map. This is where you can enter the various races that
are available. They are worth doing as they pay very well and are
needed to complete the showroom asset.
Race 1 - Terminal Velocity
Length: 1.1 miles
Entrance Fee: $100
Reward: $400
Best car: Hotring Racer
This race is best attempted with the Hotring racer (available after
doing the car lists, which are further on in this document) as it is
fast, durable, and particularly good with corners. This race isn't
particularly challenging and shouldn't cause too many problems, just
don't hit a cop, hitting a cop is an instant two stars which will
screw up your chances of winning, so for god sake DO NOT, I repeat DO
NOT hit a cop.
Race 2 - Ocean Drive
Length: 1.65 miles
Entrance Fee: $500
Reward: $2000
Best car: Infernus
This race is best attempted with the infernos, as the race doesn't
have many sharp corners and your victory mainly relies on speed and
durability, and the Infernus has both.
Race 3 - Border Run
Length: 1.93 miles
Entrance Fee: $1000
Reward: $4000
Best Car: Cheetah
This is best attempted with the cheetah, as it's good with corners
and is also what the other racers drive in, and theirs are not as
fast as yours, so it should be an easy $4000.
Race 4 - Capital Cruise
Length: 2.44 miles
Entrance Fee: $2000
Reward: $8000
Best Car: Hotring Racer
The Hotring Racer is the best car for this race, as it is good with
sharp and multiple turns, and this race has tons of them. It's fairly
easy though, as long as you get an early lead and manage to keep it.
Race 5 - Tour !
Length: 2.86 miles
Entrance Fee: $5000
Reward: $20 000
Best Car: Phoenix
The Phoenix is best for this one as it is very good at getting an
early lead and losing other cars in the traffic, which comes in dead
handy in this race, particularly at about a quarter of the way
through when there are loads of cars.
Race 6 - VC Endurance
Length: 6.1 miles
Entrance Fee: $10 000
Reward: $ 40 000
Best Car: Hotring Racer
The Hotring Racer is definitely the best car for this one as there
are loads of sharp turns, cars to avoid, and cops to avoid hitting,
all three of which the Hotring Racer can do very well indeed. If you
fall behind slightly, don't worry, you'll have loads of time to catch
up again.
Car Lists
These lists can be easy or an absolute nightmare to complete,
depending on how frequently the cars needed can be seen. Sometimes
they're all over the place and others you can't find one anywhere.
List One

Kaufman Cabs Price: $40 000
Kaufman cabs is the rival of Sunny Lane cabs and is located in Little
Haiti. The missions are quite fun but aren't very good on the money
front.
Mission 1 - VIP
You have to go and pick up a VIP from Starfish Island and take him to
Escobar International airport. So, head to Starfish Island park up
next to the VIP. But wait! A cab from Sunny Lane comes and picks him
up before he can get into your cab. Get him back. Chase after the cab
and ram him into something (preferably a wall) and continue ramming
him until the VIP gets into your cab, now, quickly drive him to the
airport.
Reward: $ 1000
Mission 2 - Friendly Rivalry
You're losing too many fares and Sunny Lane is raking the cash in,
you can't stand for that. You have to take out three of their cabs to
teach them a lesson. So, get out a machine gun and set off. When you
approach a cab, simply drive by it, until it explodes. Do this to the
other two cabs to complete the mission. Easy or what!!
Reward: $2000
Mission 3 - Cabmaggedon
Mercedes has asked for you to collect her from the docks. So, head
there and park in the pink light. But when you honk for her, she
isn't there, but a whole load of cabs from Sunny Lane are !!! A timer
will now appear and you have to stay alive for that amount of time.
That is simple. Simply drive to the edge of the water and stop just
before you hit the edge. Half the cabs should go over and then the
other can be dispatched using the same method. After the time is over
a different cab will appear, a zebra cab and the driver is intent on
killing you!! What to do is to keep drving around and aim for a wall.
Before you hit the wall, brake hard and he'll crash into it, now
shoot him continually before he reverses. If he reverses before you
can kill him, simply get him to crash and then shoot him again. Now,
when the car sets on fire, he'll get out, now all you have to do is
run him over.
Reward: $5000
Kaufman Cabs will now generate up to $5000 a day, collect it
regularly !!
Pole Position Strip Club Price: $30 000
The strip club is located south of the ocean view hotel and is the
easiest asset.
Mission 1
Walk down the hallway and enter the first door on the left to see a
dancer, spend $500 on her. NOTE: This is made easier if you do
something else while it's happening. I.E go for a walk, read a book,
watch TV or something.
Pole position will now generate up to $4000 a day, collect it
regularly
Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory Price: $20 000
Cherry Poppers is the name of the company that manufactures and
distributes the ice cream in Vice City. This is no ordinary ice cream
however, there is a special drug that is mixed in with the ice cream,
which makes the consumer go crazy and start having hallucinations.
The ice cream factory itself is just up the road from the docks.
Mission 1 - Distribution
This is quite an easy (but lengthy) mission. The idea is to
distribute 50+ ice creams around Vice City. For every four you sell,
you get one star on your wanted level so be sure to be close to a pay
n' spray, the reason for this is that the ice cream has a drug mixed
in with it that makes the consumer go crazy and start having
hallucinations. The best places to sell them are by the docks which
are just down the road from the ice cream factory and the Malibu Club
area. The Malibu is the best place, because I once got 10 in a row
when I parked in one spot by the club itself.
Reward: $3000 and the ice cream asset is now complete.
Cherry Poppers will now generate up to $3000 a day, collect it
regularly.
Boatyard Price: $10 000
The boatyard is simply the huge docks that are located down the road
from Cherry Poppers ice cream factory.
Mission 1 - Checkpoint Charlie
To start off the mission hop into the Squalo (the one on the left).
You now have to race around, collecting all the checkpoints in under
2:30. This can be quite simple, but there are three checkpoints that
will really screw you up if you're not careful. There are three ramps
near the start, each with checkpoints that can be gained by jumping
the ramps. The first ramp needs to be approached at nothing less or
more than three quarter speed, if you're going faster you'll jump
over the checkpoint, and if you're going slower than that you'll miss
completely. After you've got the first one, brake so you land in the
water and don't skid all over the place and then head towards the
second one at about three quarter speed, the third should be
approached in roughly the same way, just make sure you get the angle
right, because believe me, if you're going to screw up with this
mission, it'll be on the third ramp.
Reward: $2000, and the boatyard asset is now complete.
The Boatyard will now generate up to $2000 a day, collect it
regularly.
18. Properties
Aside from assets, there also properties that don't make any cash but
can be used to save the game and (in some) store carrs and bikes.
Skumhole Shack
Cost: $1000
Provides: Just a save point. Each property has a different level of
class and this one is definitely the worst. It is needed to ge
100% so it is worth buying for that reason.
3321 Vice Point
Cost: $2500
Provides: A save point. It's not really worth buying this place,
flash though it looks because Links View and El Swanko are
nearby.
1102 Washington Street
Cost: $3000
Provides: A save point. It's a handy place to buy at the start as
it's opposite Ken Rosenburg's office, but apart from that, not
really a good investment.
Links View Apartments
Cost: $6000
Provides: A garage and a save point. This is the best hideout in the
North of the first island as it has a garage. Buy this place
first as it is much cheaper than El Swanko.
Ocean Heights
Cost: $7000
Provides: One garage and one save point. Again, this is around the
corner from the ocean view hotel, but it has a garage which makes it
a good property to buy, if you have the cash.
El Swanko Casa
Cost: $8000
Provides: One garage and one save point. It's called "swanky" because
it is swanky by the way, rather than any other reason... or at least
I
think so.
Hyman Condo
Cost: $14 000
Provides: Three garages, one save point and a helipad with re-
spawning Maverick on the roof!! Get saving now. This is the property
you want. There is no better way of letting the public know who runs
things.
34 Cheats and Secrets
Cheats
Just like its predecessor, Vice City has a ton of cheats to do cool
stuff with, but there are also some catches and unwritten laws that
come with cheating. The first is that if you cheat too much
helicopters become unusable and they will crash your game which does
the disc no good at all. The second is that if you save with a cheat
on, you will be unable to get 100%, you'll be stuck on 99% forever!!
The solution is simple. Create another file especially for cheating
and experiment and save with them on that file. However, you can't do
any of the above if you don't have the cheats, so here they are:
Player Cheats
All Weapons #1
R1, R2, L1, R2, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up

Secrets
Secrets actually have no real significance in the game, they are just
there to provide fun, laughter and useful titbits of information that
are worth bringing to your attention.
Bus Driver- if you steal a Coach and park at a bus stop, someone will
get in the bus, and you get a whopping $5.
Indestructable Admiral--Fail Guardian Angels by killing Diaz, but
take his Admiral. It can't take damage.
Bulletproof Sabre Turbo--In "The Driver", fail the race, and then
push Hilary's car into a garage to get a free Sabre Turbo which is
indestructable.
The Hunter--The Hunter is the Ultimate Vehicle, the Apache
helicopter. There is one way to get it, which is to get all 100
packages. It will then appear at the military base.
Extra Cars in Garages-- Take a car and park it halfway into a garage.
The door won't shut completely, and you can keep stuffing cars in.
Parking Meters--In Downtown, there are lots of parking meters. Knock
them over for easy cash.
Helicopters or Boats with Wheels--Take a helicopter or boat into the
Pay-and-Spray, and it'll have wheels when you come out.
Run Forever--If you haven't done level 12 paramedic, just tap X
instead of holding it to run forever.
Seagull Sniping--Seagulls swarm the beach. Bust out your sniper rifle
and blow them to bits.
Beachball Challenge--Take the eastern entrance to Starfish Island. Go
to the first house on your right and go into the yard. There's a
beachball in the empty pool around there. Run into it and watch it
fly. Watch the shadow and hit it again. Numbers will appear over your
head. It serves no purpose except as a stat on the stats page as
"Keepy-Uppies".
Hyman Condo Prizes--When you buy Hyman Condos, whatever rewards
you've earned with hidden packages will spawn there.
Requirements for 100%
To get 100%, you need to have:
All 21 Storyline missions completed
All 8 Assets completed
All 19 Cuban, Haitian, Love Fist, Biker, Avery Carrington, and Phil
Cassidy missions completed
All 5 Phone missions completed (Assassinations)
All 7 Hideouts owned
All 8 Checkpoint races completed
All 6 Street races completed (1st place)
All 3 Arena challenges completed (1st place)
All 3 RC challenges completed
All 100 Hidden packages found
All 36 Unique jumps completed
All 35 Rampages completed
Shooting Range completed (45+ Points)
Level 12 Vigilante completed
Level 12 Paramedic completed
Level 12 Firefigher completed
Level 10 Pizza Boy completed
100 Taxi passengers dropped off
ll 15 Stores robbed
NO CHEATS SAVED (I think this is merely a scare tactic but beware as
cheats can and probably will mess up your game)
Yes, in Vice City you actually get something for getting 100%
completion, unlike in GTA III where all you had was the glory. So,
here is a list of things you get for 100% completion:
200 Max Health
200 Max Armor
Cars you drive can take twice as much damage
Infinite Ammo!
The "Frankie" outfit--A white shirt with black letters, "I completed
Vice City and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt."
Three Bodyguards--Go out of Starfish Island to the east. Come back
after you enter Vice Point. Go into the little room on the right as
you enter the mansion. Three guards SHOULD be there. However, they
are a waste of money ($1000 a go) and time. They only attack
targets that you aim and shoot at, and, as all weapons kill in one
shot after getting 100%, it's pretty pointless.
Hidden Packages
As in GTA 3, there are 100 hidden packages dotted around Vice City. Some
are easy to find, some aren't so easy to find. For every 10 collected,
you get a special prize delivered to the mansion on Starfish Island and
all your other properties. Here's what you get:
10 Body Armour
20 Chainsaw
30 Python
40 Flame Thrower
50 Sniper Rifle (with Laser Scope)
60 Mini Gun
70 Rocket Launcher
80 Sea Sparrow at mansion
90 Tank at Fort Baxter
100 Hunter at Fort Baxter
So, without further ado, let's get started.
1. The first package isn't actually on land so head to the docks and grab
boat. Now, head west and as soon as you clear the docks, change direction
and head south. You should now be able to see three islands. Head to the
south west one and park your boat next to it. Climb onto the island and
package 1 is just next to the rampage icon.
2. From the island where you got package 1 from, look north east and you
should see a collection of rocks. Package two is on top of this
collection of rocks. After collecting this package, head back to land.
3. Head to the ammu-nation gun shop in Ocean Beach. Head south, past the
fountain and you should see some trees and bushes. Go through them and
follow the sidewalk till you see a house on your right. Package 3 is on
the steps of this house.
4. Head to your hotel in Ocean Beach and look to the left, you should see
a lighthouse. Make your way over to this lighthouse and carefully look on
the steps to find package 4.
5. Head to the docks where you got Colonel Cortez's missions. Head into
the underground car park and look in the north corners to find package 5.
6. Head north from the Ocean Beach Ammu-nation and you should see a large
red wall on the second main road. Keep going north and you'll see the
hospital on your left. Enter the hospital's car park and go around to its
south side. To your left, there should be a white wall with the hospital
wall on your right. Follow the white wall around to a small, grassy area.
To the south in this area should be a white building. Go around the back
of this building to find package 6.
7. From Ammu-nation, head north and turn left when you can and you'll see
one of the bridges that leads off the island. To the right if this bridge
is a building with a walkway. Head onto the walkway and (carefully)
follow it round to find package 7 under the bridge.
8. First off, grab a PCJ-600 because you'll need it for this one. Head to
the hospital I mentioned in package 6 and just across the road from that
should be the Washington Mall. Head right from that Mall and then go left
at the
t-intersection. Look to the right and the second building is the one we
want. So, opposite this building should be a multi-storey car park with a
spiral path leading up to the upper storeys. Use this path to get onto
the roof. Head to the southwest part of the roof level and face the
building we want (this should be to the east) Now, just push the
accelerator and rocket off. With a bit of luck, you should land on the
roof of the building next to the one we want. Now use any of the ramps
here to jump across to the building we want and grab package 8.
Well done! That's all the packages in Ocean Beach, now we're off to
Washington Beach.
9. Head back to the multi storey car park from package 8 and look to the
east. You'll see a purple and green building with GGs on it. Just north
of that building is a pink building, which is the one we're after. So,
head over to it and go around the back. Package 9 is next to the pool
along with some armour.
10. Now, go get a PCJ-600 and head to the Ocean View Hotel. Head north
along the road from the hotel until you see the colon hotel on your left.
Head down the alley at the back of the hotel and head to the south end of
it and you'll find a staircase. Now, head back to the police bribe you
past when you first entered the alley and face the staircase. Rev up the
bike and pelt towards the stairs. Use the stairs as a ramp so you can
jump to the building across the street. Once on the roof, head to the
south end and pick up package 10.
Congrats! Body Armour is now available at the Ocean View Hotel, The
Hyman Condo and your mansion on Starfish Island.
11. Go back to Ken Rosenburg's office and look across the street and
you'll see a property that you can buy (you may have already bought it
but I'm assuming you haven't) Well, head around back and package 11 is
just there, if you already bought the property then you may wish to save
here.
12. From Rosenburg's office, head north down the road and you should see
a bridge. Package 12 is behind the bridge's right support. As you get
close to it, you should see its halo.
13. Get a helicopter and head to the Starfish Island Bridge. From there,
head right and eventually, you should see a building with a blue and
white roof. Carefully, land on this roof and grab package 13.
14. From this building's roof, fly south to the police station. Now fly
(low) east to the beach and you should see a hut. Land on the beach and
this package is on the steps of this hut. If you can't find it then
simply check all the huts.
15. Now, fly back to the police station and land in the car park. Head
inside and de-equip any weapons you may have out. If you have completed
"Cop Land" the, head left and grab the cop uniform from the locker room,
but if you didn't then you have a problem. Anyway, regardless of whether
you have the cop uniform or not head past the point that says "No
Civilians beyond this point" and head right up the stairs. Now run to the
room directly in front of you as you come up the stairs. Believe me, this
package is made tons easier if you have the cop uniform.
16. Get to the "bunch of tools" store that is east of Starfish
Island. If you look at your pause map it's the one that's pretty much
in the middle of the island. Anyway, look left and you should see a
pink and white house with a peach trim and a moat that circles it.
The package is in a corner of the moat so simply circle the house in
the moat till you find it.
17. Head up the steps of the house mentioned in package 17 but this
time, head towards the back wall to find a set of showers. This
package is in the orange shower.
18. North of the showers from package 17 is the bridge leading to
starfish Island. Head there and then go to the right side of the
bridge to find package 18 under the bridge.
19. Head back to the tool store from package 16 and go out the right
exit. Go north down the road and you should see (on your left) the
Spand Ex building. Go behind this building for package 19.
20. Head north to Avery's construction yard. Head up the planks and
go to the third floor of the building under construction. On this
floor is a beam that sticks out to the left. Walk carefully across
this beam and package 20 is at the end.
Congrats! The Chainsaw is now available at the Ocean View Hotel, The
Hyman Condo and your mansion on Starfish Island.
21. Across the street from Avery's place is a row of houses with
green roofs. Go behind these to find a dock, go to the end of this
dock to find package 21.
22. Grab a helicopter and fly it to the Malibu Club. Look across the
street and you should see a tall, grey building with a pool on top of
it. Fly the helicopter over to this building and in the pool. Climb
out of the pool and up the steps in front of you and package 22 is on
this ledge.
23. Now, fly down into the car park of the Malibu and look near the
wire fence to find package 23.
24. Now, from the Malibu fly north till you see another building with
a pool on it. Watch out when you land in it because it's not a big
area. Anyway, package 24 is in the corner next to a palm tree.
25. Again, from the Malibu head right onto the beach. Now go straight
down the beach till you see a house with a pool. Go into this area
and package 25 is in the top left corner.
26. From the Malibu, fly left and you'll see a pizza joint. Land
outside it and head inside for package 26.
27. From number 26's pizza joint head right and you should pass an
apartment building (it's a small white one) package 27 is behind the
stairs of this apartment building.
28. Follow the road north from the pizza joint and keep a close eye
on the left side. When you see a shop you can enter, do so and grab
this package from behind the counter.
29. From island 1, go to the bridge that leads off it to Leaf Links
Golf Club (go north west from The Malibu) before the bridge on the
right side should be Mercedes' apartment from the "Love Juice"
mission. Go up the ramp and along to the end. Walk slowly off the
ramp at the end and you
should land beside two pools. Head left and then south to find
package
30. From the bridge mentioned in package 29, head right and keep
left. Pass the first, left street and you'll see an apartment
building. This is from "The Chase" mission. Go up the stairs and out
onto the roof. Drop down onto the roof below and you'll see this
package next to the area you just dropped off.
