Introduction
- Watch the introduction cut-scene, in which the main character Huang Lee contemplates the mission at hand while flying in a plane to Liberty City. His father has been murdered, and me must travel to the city in order to find those responsible and avenge his death. Also, Huang must deliver his father's sword, Yu Jian, to his uncle Kenny.
- Huang barely makes it off the plane before being ambushed, though. He is knocked unconscious, and put in the back of a car.
- You first gain control of the game as the car crashes into the river, with Huang still inside.
- Follow the on-screen prompt, and tap the lower part of the DS screen to break the glass and free yourself. It takes about 5 taps to break the glass.
- The game will switch to a top-down view, with Huang swimming in the water.
- Use the D-pad's directional buttons to swim over to the yellow "i" icon to the right of Huang's current position.
- When you get up on the jetty, watch a short cut-scene.
- When the cut-scene ends, follow the on-screen prompt, and find a car. The map will highlight the nearest car to you in blue. Go to it. Tap X to enter the vehicle.
- NOTE: At this point, you can also get used to the punching mechanic. Go up to a pedestrian, and punch them by pressing A. If you manage to kill them, they may drop money, which you can collect by stepping on it.
- TIP: If you'd rather explore a bit and choose a different route, get back in the water. Swim out to sea a bit, and you should encounter a boat. Swim up to the boat, and punch it repeatedly by the pressing the A button. Once the boat's driver falls into the water, board the boat by swimming up to it and holding the X button.
- Once you have a car, follow the yellow path on the map to your next destination. Press B to accelerate, Y to reverse, and steer with the D-pad.
- When you reach your destination in Cerveza Heights, press X to get out of the vehicle, and walk to the yellow marker and enter Kenny's restaurant.
- Watch the cut-scene, in which Huang and his uncle Kenny catch up. Huang reveals that his assassins took Yu Jian, his father's sword.
- When the cut-scene ends, follow the yellow path on the map to your new apartment.
- Read the emails from Huang's Uncle Kenny, and from Badger. Kenny would like to speak with you as soon as possible, and Badger Network Services would like to thank you for using their email service.
- When ready, head into your apartment. Save your game by touching the green couch.
-
Email
- The email icon with flash red when you receive important emails.
- Touch the email icon on the lower screen to open your emails.
- Different characters will send you emails throughout the game.
- One of your first important emails is from Kenny Wu. He apologizes for his demeanor to you and asks you to see him. Follow your map to the K icon to start your next mission.
-
Pursuit Farce
- Reward: $50
- Kenny is worried about some undercover cops spying on a "movie" he is financing. He asks you to take his car and find out what went wrong with his crew.
- Walk forward and get into Kenny's car.
- Once you are in, the game will prompt you to tap the map to open up the GPS. Do so and follow the in game tutorial on how to use the GPS system.
- After you are finished, a route should be plotted on your map that will take you to Kenny's crew. Once you arrive at the yellow marker, a cutscene will play.
- Ling Sham tells you what happened to Kenny's crew as the cops show up. The game will give you a tutorial on how the wanted rating system works.
- When you have control again, you will have to lose a two star wanted rating.
- Quickly back up out of the alley way and start driving as fast as you can onto the main streets.
- The best way of losing the cops is to drive as fast as you can, while weaving through traffic and making sharp turns. If you do this with a reasonable amount of success, the police cars will crash on their own and your wanted rating will disappear.
- When your rating is gone, a route will be plotted to your apartment. Drive Ling Sham back there, and the mission will end.
- NOTE: You can also lose a wanted rating by finding a Pay 'n Spray location and driving your car into it. It will cost you $200 and 3 hours to do this, however.
-
Under The Gun
- Reward: $50
- Things aren't looking so good for Kenny. After the cutscene, he will have you visit the master-at-arms for some weapons training.
- Walk around the corner to the yellow dot on your map. Looks like the master-at-arms is a familiar face.
- Follow the combat tutorial that the game provides for you. You may have to repeat your assigned tasks several times to progress.
- After your gun tutorial, one of Kenny's men will ask for help.
- Run to the dumpster and tap it. Open it by sliding the stylus along the arrow. Then, flick the trash bags away until you see the gun. Tap on it to retrieve it.
- Run to the yellow marked on your map to help the manager. After the short cutscene, run forward and take care of the first thug with your pistol. Two more thugs await around the corner.
- TIP: Remember to run over dropped weapons to refill your ammo.
- Once the thugs are taken out, go up the stairs on the bottom left of the yard. Follow the roof around until you reach the last thug. Killing him will trigger a short scene and end the mission.
-
Payback
- Reward: $50
- Once you get an urgent email from Kenny, head on over to his restaurant. Your job will be to exact vengeance for the events in the previous mission.
- Grab a vehicle and head towards the gang hideout marked on your GPS.
- Get out of your car and press Y to vault over the fence into the building.
- A short scene will play, and a chase on foot ensues. Keep moving towards him, using the Y to jump over the fences.
- After a block down the road, the gang member will stop and take aim at you with two of his buddies. Take them out with your pistol.
- As the fracas occurs, a gang vehicle will drop off a couple more thugs for you to dispatch. Unfortunately, the gang leader will run away and try to escape via car.
- Quickly get in the gang car and chase after him.
- Your objective is to take him out. The best way to do this is by ramming the enemy car repeatedly until he is forced to get out. Once he has done so, you can run him over, killing him and saving ammo at the same time.
- NOTE: The game will notify you that you are able to shoot while driving in a vehicle by pressing B. You will autotarget the enemy vehicle, so the only thing you have to worry about is staying close to him. However, the pistol does not do much damage, so you are better served by ramming the enemy.
- The mission ends when you kill the gang leader.
-
The Wheelman
- Reward: $50
- Uncle Kenny's got a thankless job for you from Hsin's son. He wants you to steal three sports cars by a certain time. The deadline is about 6 in-game hours.
- The sports cars are marked on your map by blue dots. Make your way to the first one and get inside.
- You may have to perform a small mini-game in order to get the car started. They are very simple and easy to do. Simply follow the on-screen instructions and the car will start.
- Drive the car back to the garage marked on your map by a yellow marker.
- Repeat this process for the remaining two cars.
- NOTE: You may be pressed for time on this mission, so try not to dally too much. Focus on retrieving the cars as fast as possible without wrecking them. If you are a little late on time, the mission will still complete successfully as long as you are at least driving the final car.
- You can now purchase cars at the garage. There will also be carjacking missions from time to time if you return to the garage.
-
Tricks of the Triad
- Reward: 5 bags of coke
- Uncle Kenny is in the middle of a crisis with his drug trade. He needs you to help him out with a deal.
- Go back to your apartment to retrieve the stash of drugs.
- With the drugs in tow, find a vehicle and drive to the blue drug dealer marker on your map.
- Get out of your car and approach the drug dealer to initiate the deal by pressing SELECT. Follow the on screen instructions on how to sell your acid.
- NOTE: A green arrow pointing towards the drug dealer icon means that the dealer is buying. A red arrow pointing away means that the dealer is selling.
- After the cutscene, you will receive an email from another dealer - this time to buy.
- Make your way to the other dealer on the map and buy his drugs by following the on screen instructions.
- Unfortunately, the police show up on the scene after the deal. Quickly run up and get inside the cop car and drive away.
- You will have to lose a two star rating before you can return to your apartment to stash your newly acquired drugs. Do so by taking out pursuing police cars and making constant turns.
- The mission ends once you stash the drugs in your apartment.
- You can now buy and sell drugs for profit whenever you are not on a mission.
-
Natural Burn Killer
- Reward: $50
- Kenny wants you to make an example of one of the restaurants that has refused to pay him for protection.
- Make your way to the gas station on your map to make some Molotov Cocktails.
- A small minigame will start when you run over the blue marker.
- You will have to create the molotovs by filling up the bottles with gas and then stuffing the rags into them. There is no quota that you have to hit, but the more molotovs you make, the more you will have to use later, so it is in your best interest to make as many as you can.
- Drag the gas pump so that the flowing gas fills the bottle. When the bottle is full, replace the pump and drag the rag into the bottle. Slash down on the rag until it is stuffed inside the bottle. Repeat this process as many times as you can.
- Once you are done making Molotovs, follow the yellow GPS route towards the Spanish car lot.
- Use your Molotovs to destroy the two cars marked with red arrows on your screen.
- To use a Molotov, tap and hold on the Molotov icon on the touch screen. Drag your stylus to the diameter of the circle. You should see a line emanating from Huang on the main screen. The further from the Molotov icon your stylus is, the further the line emanating from Huang will be. A green line means that it is a safe distance for you to throw. Simply let go of the stylus to throw the Molotov.
- Make sure you are far enough away from the cars to avoid taking damage yourself.
- When the two cars are destroyed, it is time to firebomb the restaurant across the street.
- Again, keep your distance and throw three Molotovs at the restaurant. The more Molotovs you throw, the hotter the fire will burn, and the faster the building will take damage.
- However, we want to save a few Molotovs, because fire trucks will make their way on the scene and try to put out the fire.
- Two Molotovs should take care of each fire truck that attempts to fight the fire.
- When the building is destroyed, the mission will end.
-
Recruitment Drive
- Reward: $50
- Your Uncle Kenny would like you to recruit more members for the gang by saving oppressed people.
- Quickly get into a nearby vehicle and drive towards the first victim, noted by the the blue dot on your map. The victim's health will constantly drain while he is being attacked, so you need to arrive on the scene as soon as possible.
- There will be anywhere from 3-4 hoodlums attacking the victim. The goal is to kill the enemies before the victim's health is drained completely.
- TIP: The most efficient way of doing this is by simply running over the enemies while you are in a car. You don't need to worry about harming the recruit, as he will dive out of the way of your vehicle. Alternatively, you can get out of the car and fight the enemies on foot.
- You will have to repeat this two more times, until you get 3 recruits on your side. Take extra care to have each recruit in tow before you move on to the next victim.
- NOTE: You will need a four door vehicle to have enough room for the recruits.
- The final portion of the mission has you drive the recruits back to the tattoo parlor. Enemy cars will try to hamper your journey back, but you can simply ignore them as they do not pose much of a threat.
- Drive over the yellow marker, and you will have to tattoo one of the recruits with a dragon symbol.
- Simply color in the shaded area with your stylus to complete the mission. You will have to fill in the dragon fairly thoroughly to successfully complete the mission.
-
Carpe 'Dime'
- Reward: $0
- After progressing through Zhou's missions, you'll get an email from Kenny asking you to come to him with $5000 to help him buy a warehouse.
- NOTE: If you don't have $5000 by now, do a drug deal or two to quickly make the money you need. Finding a buyer for the initial stash of Coke that you got should get you very close to this goal.
- Kenny believes that he has a lead on an antique collection that may have the sword he is looking for. He wants you to hijack a van that may contain the sword.
- Make your way towards the van marked on your map with a red dot.
- You will have to force the van to stop without destroying it. The easiest way to do this is by ramming it a few times with your vehicle. Eventually, the passengers will get out of the car and the game will prompt you to steal the van.
- You can either kill the enemies before getting in the van or you can ignore the enemies altogether and just make a beeline for the drivers seat.
- Drive the van back into Kenny's garage. You will have enemy cars pursuing you while firing.
- TIP: Try and avoid their gunfire on the way back to the garage. You can try delaying them by knocking them off the road, but it is not necessary to destroy them.
- After you park the van, cut open the interior to find out if the sword is inside. The mission ends once you retrieve the contents of the van.
-
Store Wars
- Reward: $50
- Kenny believes he has found out who's been tormenting him and his stores - the Spanish Lords. He has caught wind of a planned attack on one of his stores and he wants you to stop them.
- TIP: Before you start the mission, search the dumpster next to Kenny's marker to find some submachine gun ammo.
- Quickly get in a vehicle and head towards the store.
- TIP: You can cut across the large field on the right hand side as you follow your GPS to save some time.
- Once you arrive on the scene, the game will instruct you to create a barricade by parking vehicles on the yellow markers. Try and position the vehicles so they act as a road block to the street, but don't worry too much about getting the positions exact, as you only have a limited amount of time to do this.
- TIP: For the south end of the street, there is a very large truck in the alleyway you can use as an effective roadblock.
- Spanish Lords will arrive on the scene and try to burn the building to the ground using Molotovs. Your goal is to eliminate them before the store burns to the ground as indicated by the blue damage meter on the top left of your screen.
- The first wave will arrive from the north. Have your submachine gun ready and lock onto the enemies as soon as they get out of the car. If you are quick on the draw, you should be able to mow them down without them throwing a single Molotov.
- Another enemy vehicle will approach from the south. Utilize the same strategy to eliminate them quickly.
- NOTE: There's a health powerup in the alleyway where you found the large truck if you need it.
- Finally, the last wave of Spanish Lords will attack from the north. Once these are finished off and the building is still intact, the mission will end.
-
Copter Carnage
- Reward: $400
- Uncle Kenny is still embroiled in his war with the Spanish Lords and is chastising you for the previous mission when an attack comes.
- You'll have to fend off a Spanish Lord siege at Kenny's warehouse.
- Quickly kill off the closest enemies and grab the body armor in the yard. There are three trucks full of Kenny's stash that you have to protect. Watch the blue meter on the top left of your screen.
- NOTE: Don't worry if one of the trucks is blown up, you can still complete the mission as long as the meter isn't drained.
- Enemies will continually come in vehicles from all sides. Move to intercept them as soon as they get out of the vehicles to prevent them from damaging the trucks.
- TIP: If you have a spare moment, search the dumpster for an Uzi.
- After clearing enough enemies, the chopper will retreat and you will have to follow it.
- Hop in a vehicle and start heading down the bridge. Don't worry when you see the helicopter fly over the water, keep driving across the bridge and make a right. Eventually you'll see the helicopter land at the Spanish Lords' warehouse and the mission will end.
-
Kenny Strikes Back
- Reward: 3 bags of coke
- Kenny wants to go on the offensive against the Spanish Lords. He wants you to go to their warehouse and take back what is rightfully his.
- Make your way towards the Spanish Lord warehouse. Approach the yellow chevrons and unlock the gate by following the minigame's instructions.
- Your goal is to steal the marked van. There will be a sizable enemy force in the compound here.
- NOTE: You can try running these enemies over with a vehicle, but it may be difficult given the amount of enemies and the cramped confines.
- Take out all the enemies you can see here before going after the truck to avoid damage being done to the vehicle.
- After you get in the truck, the gate will close and enemy reinforcements will show up. Shoot these guys down, then get back in the truck once the gate has opened again.
- NOTE: The overhang in front of the truck is a large visual barrier. It's the main reason why you should take out the courtyard goons first, as it will result in less damage to you.
- The final objective is to get the truck back to Kenny's garage. Spanish Lord vehicles will try to stop you along the way, but it is not difficult to avoid them.
- TIP: Try to pay the toll if you aren't in too much trouble. Having both the police and Spanish Lords on you can get annoying.
- Once you park the truck, search it for drugs and the mission will end.
-
Missed The Boat?
- Reward: 10 Bags of Heroin
- Kenny wants to gain favor with Hsin again by helping him with some merchandise on a boat.
- Quickly get in a vehicle and drive to the boat. You have about 1 hour and 45 minutes of in game time, so make every second count. If you fail to meet the timer, the mission will automatically fail.
- Get on the boat and start heading towards the blue dot on your radar. There is no GPS, so just sail in the general direction of the dot. Look on your map if you get lost.
- NOTE: Your boat will periodically break down. Follow the onscreen minigame to get it working again. You will have to draw circular motions with your stylus and then slash in the direction of the straight arrow
- A short cutscene will play as the mobster hands you the drugs and the coast guard comes in.
- When you have control again, you will have to lose the coastguard, much like losing the cops on land. #TIP: Simply drive in one direction for a short time and you should lose them.
- Your final objective is to take the boat back to the Jetty where you first got on. However, the wrinkle is that there will be scattered coast guard boats around the area. You will have to make sure you have not been detected, otherwise the yellow marker will not appear for you to end the mission. Either take out the boats, or go around them and approach the Jetty undetected.
-
Pimp His Ride
- Reward: $50
- After doing a few missions for Kenny, you'll get an email from Chan asking you to come work for him.
- It looks like Chan wants you to make some "improvements" to the race car champion's car.
- Get in a vehicle and heard towards the race car driver's marker on your GPS.
- Once he gets in the car, you will have to follow him to the garage. However, you have to keep your distance from him or else he will see you.
- TIP: A good rule of thumb is to keep the enemy car within distance on your mini map, but out of sight on the main screen.
- Once you reach the garage, the driver will enter, giving you your opportunity to steal the car.
- NOTE: At this point, a timer will start for the trailer pickup. You will have to take the car to your own garage and back before that time limit expires.
- Take the car back to your garage and drive it over the marker.
- You will enter the garage and be able to wreck the car's engine using three different tools. It doesn't matter which one you pick first.
- After you finish with your mechanic work, you have to drive the sports car back to the garage where you got it.
- This is where it gets interesting. Since you've just smashed the car's engine, it's going to be an adventure getting the car back to the garage. The car will randomly swerve uncontrollably and it will not go as fast as it did before. You will have to be very careful here to not damage the car too much and to not hit any police cars. Though there is a time limit, you should not be that pressed for time. As long as you are careful with the car you will reach the garage in time.
- Once you return the car to the garage, it will get picked up by the trailer and the mission will end.
-
Whack The Racers
- Reward: $100
- Being the noble racer he is, Chan wants you to run interference for him during a street race.
- Get into a vehicle and head towards the yellow marker on your GPS.
- TIP: The game says for you to get in a "fast" vehicle. While it is not necessary, it will help a lot to be in a fast vehicle such as a Comet or Hellenbach.
- A short cutscene will play as you approach the yellow marker.
- Your job is to prevent any of the other racers from overtaking Chan. You can do this by ramming them head on or by deliberately driving slowly in front of them.
- A good strategy is to start the race off by ramming off the three racers ahead of Chan. Take up position behind Chan and watch your rear. Try to block any enemy car with yours by swerving to cut them off. If any enemy gets past you, speed ahead and ram into them as hard as you can. The strategy is similar to the "Road Rage" mode in the Burnout game series, if you are familiar with those games.
- NOTE: It is not possible to completely eliminate the competing racers, you can only delay them for a short time.
- TIP: You don't necessarily have to follow the race path yourself. You can lie in ambush and take shortcuts in order to surprise the other racers.
- NOTE: Remember that you do not have to win the race yourself, only Chan. As long as he is in first place at the end of the third lap, you will complete the mission successfully.
-
Jackin' Chan
- Reward: $150
- As soon as you reach Chan's apartment, you receive news that he has been kidnapped!
- Quickly hop in your vehicle and drive after Chan, marked by a blue dot on your GPS.
- Uh oh. Looks like the Irish have gotten there and set everything on fire! You will have to put up the fire on Chan's car.
- Back out of the alleyway and drive towards the fire truck marked on your GPS. Switch vehicles and drive back to Chan. Park the truck next to the fires.
- Put out the fires by tapping the fire hose icon on the touch screen and dragging it in the direction you want the hose to shoot.
- Once all of the fires are out, get inside Chan's car and drive him back to his penthouse. The mission will end once you drive over the yellow marker.
-
Raw Deal
- Reward: $200
- Chan believes he can broker a peace agreement with a Triad enemy crew. You are to escort him for this deal.
- Cutscenes will play as you and Chan are en route to the crew. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned and you will have to fight your way back to his father's club. This can be a very difficult mission, so be on your toes.
- Chan's health is represented by the blue bar on the top left. If he dies, the mission ends, so you want to be as careful as possible.
- There are two methods of completing this mission, each a little dependent on skill and luck.
- METHOD 1: The "normal" way of completing this mission is by shooting your way to Hsin's club. Start by taking out any enemies in front of you with an automatic rifle.
- Once they are dead, press forward carefully, making sure to take out any enemies that come attack you.
- TIP: You'll want to stay as far away from the enemies as possible, since you will most likely blow up the cars that they hide behind. Staying too close to the explosions is a recipe for failure.
- As you reach the intersection, watch for the van that will come barreling towards you. Keep your distance and eliminate any enemies that you see.
- NOTE: Be sure to pick up the body armor on the left side of the street before the intersecetion.
- Turn left at the intersection and fight your way to the roadblock at the end. Watch out for enemies ambushing you from alleyways and from vehicles.
- NOTE: If you are low on health, there is a pickup in the alley on the left side of the street.
- When you get to the roadblock, enemies will stream from all directions of the intersections. Shoot the giant gas tanker to hopefully take them all out.
- Wait for the fires to dissipate and clean up any visible enemies. They will keep spawning if you stay in one place, so once you see an opening, press on ahead.
- Hsin's club is straight ahead on the right side. Watch for any enemies that may try to attack you.
- METHOD 2: This method is quick and easy, although it may take a couple of tries to pull off.
- The idea is to get into a vehicle with Chan and simply drive to Hsin's club, ignoring all of the enemies.
- To give yourself a chance, though, you will have to clear out enemies on the screen and find a relatively undamaged car.
- When you have found a suitable vehicle, back up towards Chan to make sure he gets inside.
- Once Chan is secure, drive forward, making a left at the intersection.
- Keep driving forward on the right side of the street. When you reach the gas tanker, gingerly make your way through the roadblocks on the right.
- 'NOTE: If you see that your vehicle has caught fire, leave it immediately. If you don't, it will explode, killing both you and Chan. In the event that you need to jump ship, quickly find a new vehicle to continue ahead.
- Continue down the street and drive towards the yellow marker at Hsin's club, ending the mission.
-
SA-BOAT-AGE
- Reward: 12 Bags of Ecstasy
- Chan's obtained a boat from the Spanish Lords and wants to race you.
- Get on the Wet-Ski next to him and sail out behind him. The goal is to pass Chan while sailing through the yellow markers on the water. Don't worry if it seems like you are not gaining ground on him initially, you will eventually pass him and move onto the next phase of the mission.
- After the short cutscene, you will be attacked by waves of Spanish Lords on boats. Your goal is to prevent Chan from dying until help can arrive. His health is represented on the top left corner of your screen.
- NOTE: You will have infinite ammo on this part of the mission so don't be afraid to hold down the trigger button.
- An easy way to complete the mission is to simply stay next to Chan's boat and let the enemies come to you. As they get close, point your boat towards them and fire away. Your gun will automatically lock on to any enemies facing the front of your Wet-Ski.
- TIP: Don't worry about the boats exploding next to you, they will cause no damage to you or Chan.
- After you have survived long enough, a rescue helicopter will come and the mission will end.
-
Counterfeit Gangster
- Reward: N/A
- Chan wants you to dispose of some of his merchandise before the FIB can bust him for it.
- Nearby Chan's hideout are some crates of merchandise. Use your submachine gun to destroy these.
- There are three other groups of merchandise for you destroy near the docks. Hop in a vehicle and head towards them.
- NOTE: You have a deadline to destroy all of these shipments before the Feds arrive on the scene. The timer is fairly lenient, but do your best to be as efficient as possible.
- Once you are at your docks, head towards one of the yellow markers to initiate the "destruction" phase.
- There are three mini games for you to play here. The first is to simply destroy the boxes like the first group of merchandise that you saw.
- The middle group of cars will need to be destroyed by operating a crane. Simply rotate the crane to be on top of a car and hit the button on the touch screen to pick it up. Move the crane over the water and hit the button to release the car. Repeat this for the rest of the cars here.
- TIP: The game will prompt you when the crane is directly over a car.
- The final group of cars will have to be pushed off the docks into the water. Fortunately, there are bulldozers nearby that you can use for this task. Use the bulldozer to ram all of the cars into the water. Be careful, as you can fall in the water as well.
- NOTE: If you fall into the water, there is another bulldozer next to the cars on the dock for you to use.
- Once all the merchandise has been destroyed, the mission will end.
-
Slaying With Fire
- Reward: $250
- Chan has gone paranoid after finding out he had a mole in his posse. He wants to eliminate the rest of his "friends" with your help.
- This mission should be pretty fun. You will be riding with Chan on his helicopter and bombing the traitors from above with Molotovs.
- NOTE: You have unlimited ammunition with the Molotovs so don't worry about conserving ammo.
- TIP: Remember that the longer the arc on your screen, the further the Molotov will go. It should impact at the end of the arc.
- The first phase of the attack will have you kill enemies along with a tanker in front of you.
- The second phase will have you kill fleeing enemies as they try to make it to the boats. You will eventually have to blow up the boats as well. Don't worry if one or two escape, it does not affect the outcome of the mission.
- TIP: Try creating a wall of fire on the docks so that the enemies will catch on fire while trying to run to the boats.
- NOTE: The helicopter will self repair as long as you keep the enemies from taking it down with gunfire. Watch the blue meter on the top left of your screen.
- The next phase can get tricky as there will now be enemies with rocket launchers. You will hear a beeping noise as they lock onto you as well as a prompt on the screen. Make sure you take out these enemies first as they can quickly bring you down.
- The final phase of the mission has you battle a helicopter. You only need to hit it twice to down it, but it may be difficult to aim Molotovs at it. Try waiting for the helicopter to get in close before releasing. Make sure the arc on the screen touches the enemy helicopter.
- The mission ends once the helicopter is down and a short cutscene plays.
-
Stealing The Show
- Reward: $150
- After you progress a bit through Chan's missions, you will get an email from Zhou asking for your services.
- Before Zhou will even talk to you, you must have 20 Weed in your inventory to give to him. Fortunately, the game will give you a helpful tip that the Jamaicans in Beechwood City sell weed.
- Obtaining the weed is a fairly easy task. Open up your PDA and tap on the Trade Info Tab. Scroll to Turf Map and tap on it. Scroll down to the Jamaicans and expand the tab. You should see a dealer there. Tap on the GPS icon to plot a path to the dealer. Once you are there, pick up at least 20 Weed (more if the price is good for resale later).
- Head back toward's Zhou's marker and start the mission.
- Zhou has thrown his hat in the ring to become the new Triad boss and he wants you to become his new "thrower."
- Get into the truck next to you and drive to the gas station marked on your GPS.
- Here you find out what Zhou means by "thrower." Get on the flatbed truck next to where Zhou is parked.
- Your goal here is to throw the crates of merchandise onto Zhou's truck while both vehicles are moving forward.
- To "throw" a crate, tap the crate icon on the touch screen and drag the stylus towards a direction. A green line will show up on the main screen, similar to when you threw Molotovs.
- TIP: It's easiest to hit Zhou's truck when you are on a straight path. If the vehicles are making turns, hold off on throwing a crate back until you are aligned on a straightaway.
- After you've thrown enough crates, Zhou will tell you to get off the flatbed.
- Get back in Zhou's truck and drive it back to his garage to end the mission.
-
Flatliner
- Reward:$150
- Zhou wants you to pick up an injured "friend" of his who has just landed at the airport.
- Get into the Hellenbach next to the club and drive towards the airport.
- Drive towards the ambulance from the side without policemen.
- This will be a very annoying mission to complete as there are many things going on at once.
- You will have to drive Uri back to Zhou's club in the ambulance. The problem is, you have a three star wanted rating, which means that you will have at least 4 police cars and SWAT vans chasing after you. On top of this, Uri has a heart condition. Reckless driving and collisions will cause his heart to flatline. When he flatlines, you will have to quickly tap the red dot that represents his heart on the touch screen until he stabilizes.
- You will have to somehow hold the stylus between your fingers as you keep your thumb on the acceleration button. If you come to a stop, you may get busted by the policemen as they try to drag you out of the drivers seat. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the ambulance is very slow, so if a cop latches onto the door, it will be very hard to shake him off.
- Start by pulling out your gun and taking out the four policemen surrounding the ambulance initially. This is to prevent the cops from busting you immediately as you make your way out of the airport.
- Once they are dead, get in the ambulance and head towards the gate. Drive slowly to allow time for the gate to open, as you don't want Uri's heart to flatline too soon.
- From this point on, you simply have to drive back to Uri's club. However, keep in mind of traffic and the police pursuers. If Uri's heart flatlines, make sure there are no policemen out on foot before coming to a stop to revive him. If there are, try to put some space between them so you can revive him and accelerate away before they attack you.
- NOTE: Don't worry about losing the rating completely - you just need to drive the ambulance into the garage to end the mission.
- A fairly disturbing cutscene plays with Zhou and Uri after you park the ambulance in the garage to end the mission.
-
Bomb Disposal
- Reward: $200
- Zhou has a plan to steal drugs and cars from Hsin.
- You will have to prevent Hsin's men from destroying the vehicles carrying drugs.
- The first phase of the mission has you disarming three bomb trucks next to the drug cars. You have three minutes to disarm all three.
- Drive towards one of the red dots on your screen and get inside one of the bomb trucks to begin the disarming minigame.
- First, take off all four "screws" by drawing counterclockwise circles where the game draws arrows for you.
- Once the panel is off, tap the meter and tap and hold on one of the wires. Make a note of how high the reading on the meter is as you check each of the four wires.
- When you have found the highest one, tap the pliers and slash the wire corresponding to the highest reading. This will disarm them bomb.
- Quickly make your way to the remaining two bomb vans and disarm them the same way.
- At this point, phase two will begin, where you have to take out all of Hsin's men. They will also be marked on your GPS with red dots. Use whatever method you desire to kill them.
- TIP: Like previous missions, it is easy to take out the enemies without firing a single bullet by running them over.
- When all of the men are killed, the last phase of the mission begins. One last bomb truck will try to blow up the cars.
- Drive towards this truck and try to ram it off course. If your vehicle is damaged or you can't seem to wreck the van by ramming it, get out of your van and start shooting at it with your machine gun. Eventually it will explode, ending the mission.
-
Driven To Destruction
- Reward: $300
- Zhou wants to teach Hsin's men a lesson. This will be a very fun mission.
- Hop onto the truck and drive to Beechwood City. Swing around the streets to the cluster of red dots.
- You'll be Zhou's wheelman as he mows down all the drug dealers. The red Carnage meter on the top left will slowly fill up as you and Zhou kill enemies. The green meter on the top right represents your health.
- Simply drive around the enemies and let Zhou do all the shooting. If you want, feel free to run over guys while Zhou doles out carnage.
- When the first batch of enemies are dead, drive towards the second one and repeat. Do this until the Carnage meter is completely filled.
- NOTE: It is very hard to die or even take damage during this mission. Don't be afraid to be near explosions or gunfire.
- The game will prompt you to return back to Zhou's club. As you make your way back, a couple enemy vehicles may attack you. Simply ignore them as they will not be much of a hinderance.
- Once you take the truck back to Zhou's garage the mission will end.
-
Cash & Burn
- Reward: N/A
- Sounds like your extracurricular activities with the Koreans have interfered with Zhou's business. He wants you to set fire to some merchandise.
- After the cutscene, walk across the street and get in the car marked with the blue dot on your map.
- Drive to the location marked on your GPS by a yellow marker and get out of your car.
- Slash open the lock to gain entry into the yard. Your objective here is to set 18 stacks of supplies on fire with your flamethrower. Simply get close enough to a stack that a green circle appears under them and hold down the fire button until the boxes light on fire. As soon as they do, feel free to move on to the next one.
- After you torch the first 3, enemies will start attacking you as you make your way around the yard. Since it may be annoying to switch weapons, feel free to kill these enemies with a short burst of your flamethrower.
- NOTE: You only have 3000 units of ammo with your flamethrower. While this may sound like a lot, it is quite possible to run out if you keep the fire button held down the whole time. Make sure you let up on the flames once your targets are lit on fire. Though it will take a couple extra seconds for enemies and boxes to die, they will eventually do so.
- Once all 18 boxes of merchandise are disintegrated, the mission will end.
- NOTE: When there are 4 or 5 boxes left, the game will display the remaining boxes on your map and screen by red markers and dots to help you find them.
-
Dragon Haul Z
- Reward: $1000
- Zhou wants to take advantage of the festivities in Chinatown.
- Get in a vehicle and drive towards the truck with the costume as noted by the red dot on your GPS. #You will have to stop the truck without destroying it. This can be done by cutting the truck off with your car and blocking it long enough to hijack it.
- Once you are in control of the truck, drive it to the Bank of Liberty. The marker will be in the alleyway next to it.
- A short cutscene will play where Zhou comes out of the bank after robbing it. The costume will act as a getaway vehicle.
- When you have control again, you'll be controlling a dragon in the parade. The game will start you off in a tutorial mode to explain all of the moves you will have to make.
- Use the D-Pad to control the direction the dragon moves. You will have to guide the dragon through all of the yellow and red markers on the screen. When the dragon walks over red arrows rotating, you will have to use the stylus and draw circles on the touch screen in the direction the arrows are rotating. When the dragon walks over a red marker, you will have to either blow into the mic or tap the fire icon on the touch screen until the meter is depleted.
- After the tutorial is finished, the "real" minigame will be played on the streets. Simply hit all of the yellow markers and complete all of the rotating and fire tasks when prompted. Your "life" bar on the top left hand is marked as "suspicion." Completing tasks correctly increases this meter, while failing decreases it. As long as you make it through the section without it depleting, the mission will be a success.
-
The Fandom Menace
- Reward: $200
- Zhou wants you to act as his chauffeur and drive him to meetings around town.
- Your first destination is the construction site where you will pick up one of Zhou's friends.
- As you depart, one of the paparazzi will snap an incriminating photo and you will have to deal with him.
- TIP: It is fairly easy to eliminate any paparazzi by running them over. They tend to walk in straight lines on the sidewalk and do not make much effort to avoid you.
- On your way to the second destination, more paparazzi, this time on bikes, will snap photos. Run them over with your car and continue to the destination.
- TIP: Make it your first priority to knock any paparazzi off their motorcycles first by ramming them once. This will make it easier to kill them.
- After picking up Zhou's second friend, you just have to make it back to Zhou's place. However, two more paparazzi will snap photos of you again, this time on even faster motorcycles. Use the same tactics as before and they will no longer be an issue.
- The mission will end when you get back to Zhou's garage.
-
So Near, Yet Sonar
- Reward: 15 Bags of Acid
- Zhou wants you to retrieve some lost merchandise of his from the ocean.
- Board the salvage boat next to the dock and sail towards the yellow marker out in the water.
- When you get close to the salvage area, the touch screen will turn into a sonar screen. The game will then give you a short tutorial on the controls.
- To activate the sonar, simply tap the large button on the touch screen. This will light up any underwater loot on the screen. To pick it up, simply position the boat over the dot on the radar while the sonar is still visible.
- There are four crates to pick up in all. It will be random whether you get one of Zhou's crate or a piece of junk, so repeat the process until you obtain all four.
- NOTE: While you are searching for the crates, there will be coast guard ships patrolling the area. They will show up as ships on your sonar. You will want to avoid detection by these. Watch your green detection meter on the top left to make sure you are not being seen.
- After you obtain all of the crates, the final thing to do is head back to jetty to end the mission.
-
Trail Blazer
- Reward:$200
- Finally you come face to face with the Triad leader. Unfortunately, it looks like Chan has been feeding him some inaccuracies about your relationships. Hsin wants you to get a gas tanker and exact revenge on the ambushers from the Raw Deal mission.
- Drive towards the gas station and get inside the tanker. You will have to hotwire it before you can drive out, so have your stylus handy.
- Uh oh. The police aren't going to let you get away that easily. They puncture holes in the back of the tank so that it leaks gas, causing a trail of fire to follow your tanker.
- Your goal is to take the tanker to the gambling den to destroy it. The ride there is not that long, but you will have to be mindful of your tanker's situation and handling capabilities. As long as you prepare your turns in advance, you should not have trouble getting to the den.
- NOTE: There is a small police barricade investigating an accident on the bridge. Ignore them and just run through them straight ahead.
- When you reach your destination, have your finger ready to press the X button. As soon as the tanker reaches the yellow marker, get out of the car and run away from area as fast as possible. With luck, the explosion will not hurt you.
- The mission will end once the den has been destroyed.
- NOTE: Be sure to pick up the money from the dead gamblers. (Noted by the $ icons over their bodies)
-
The Offshore Offload
- Reward: $700
- You get an email from Uncle Kenny that Hsin would like to work with you. Hsin needs you to help launder money for him by breaking his men out of a NOOSE van.
- Quickly get into a four-seater vehicle and head towards the marker on your GPS. You have one minute to reach them from the start of the mission. This should not be a problem as long as you do not loiter too long before starting your drive.
- TIP: The limo parked in front of Hsin's penthouse will work for this mission.
- TIP: You want to approach the men from the east alleyway as the cops are facing the north alleyway. Do not follow your GPS arrows as it leads you to the north entrance. Go around the side.
- Get out of the vehicle and walk towards the yellow chevrons behind the van. Follow the touch screen instructions to spring Hsin's men from the van.
- NOTE: Make sure you park your car close to the van in the alleyway, or else your car may disappear after the next scene.
- Quickly run away from the van when the charges have been placed and get inside your car.
- Make sure Hsin's men have entered the car (there are two) and quickly drive out of the area.
- Your next goal is to pick up the accountant with the money. He is marked on your screen with a blue marker. The tricky part here is going to be stopping to pick him up without the cops busting you. Make sure there are no cops nearby you on foot before you stop for the accountant.
- With the accountant safely in the vehicle, the next goal is to take everyone to the helipad. Follow your GPS there.
- Now comes the most difficult part in surviving the chase long enough to reach the helipad. You will have to do your best to dodge obstacles and police as to not cause your vehicle to explode.
- The mission will end when you reach the yellow marker on the helipad.
-
One Shot, One Kill
- Reward: N/A
- Hsin has found out who the mole is - one of Chan's underlings. You are to take him out.
- Drive to the hotel marked on your map.
- Get out and head inside. Pick up the sniper rifle on the balcony.
- You will have to assemble the rifle by following the on screen instructions.
- Once the rifle is assembled, you will automatically be zoomed in overlooking the hotel courtyard. Your target is dressed in a white shirt and jeans, which should stand out amongst the crowd. Take him out as soon as you spot him. If you miss, quickly get a bead on him and kill him before he flees the scene.
- NOTE: The game says the target leaves the hotel at a certain time. This does not appear to affect when you can kill him, so you can simply ignore it.
- TIP: It may help you to lead your shots when aiming through the sniper scope.
- When the target is down, you will have a three star wanted rating. Quickly get in your vehicle and lose it. The best way of doing this is to take out cop cars one at a time until the rating drops to one star. From here, it should be easy to completely lose your rating.
- TIP: If your car takes too much damage from ramming cop cars, quickly get out and get into a new car before the cops can catch up to you on foot. It may be a good idea to drive on a crowded street so you always have new cars to jack.
- The mission ends when your wanted rating is gone.
-
By Myriads of Swords
- Reward: N/A
- Hsin well send you an urgent email to come meet him. It appears he has discovered a bunch of traitors in his midst and wants you to take care of them.
- Go around the side of the building and search the dumpster for the sword.
- NOTE: The sword is the most powerful melee weapon in the game. It should kill any enemy with one swipe.
- Grab a vehicle and head towards one of the yellow Triad strongholds on your map.
- The main traitor will try to escape on vehicle. Follow him until he gets out of the vehicle and starts running on foot. Chase after him and behead him with your sword.
- NOTE: The enemy that is your main objective will be marked by an extraordinarily large red arrow pointing on him.
- Once he is dead, clear the area of any enemy bodyguards, then search his wallet and take his ID card.
- Head over to the other Triad traitor and defeat him in the same way, with your sword.
- When both traitors are dead, you will get an email from Uncle Kenny telling you to meet him and Hsin at the amusement park.
- NOTE: If you killed the traitor at the amusement park last, you will already be there.
- Go there and watch the cutscene to end the mission.
-
A Shadow of Doubt
- Reward: N/A
- Hsin wants you to follow a Midtown Gangster to discover their hideout.
- This mission will be an entirely stealth affair, you won't be doing any killing.
- The gangster has a very distinctive umbrella which should make him hard to lose.
- Your goal is to follow the man to his car and then his hideout. Keep an eye on your green suspicion meter on the top left of the screen. It will increase steadily when you are within line of sight of the enemy, and decrease when you are not.
- Occassionally he will stop to look behind him. When he does this, you must get behind cover quickly or risk being seen.
- Keep following and hiding him until he reaches a building and a cutscene plays.
- Quickly run to the chevrons next to his car to plant a tracking bug. You will have 15 seconds to attach the bug via a short touch screen sequence. This is not hard at all and you should have lots of time to spare.
- When the gangsters speed off in their car, you will have to follow them on wheels. Get in the vehicle nearby and start chasing the blue dot on your screen.
- NOTE: The blue dot on the screen acts as a waypoint marker. It is not the actual car, so keep that in mind if you are getting held up.
- Eventually, you will reach the hideout and a small cutscene will play, ending the mission.
-
Friend or Foe?
- Reward: $200
- Hsin wants you to help his man get incriminating files.
- Get in the van and drive to the green marker on your map.
- Hop out of the car and pick up the explosives and get back in to continue your journey to the Korean building at the yellow marker.
- Plant the bomb by walking to the marker next to the building and tapping the bomb on the touch screen.
- You will have to enter the arming sequence by repeating the button taps that the bomb shows.
- Once this is done, get back in the van and reverse the van to the hole in the wall of the building.
- The game will then prompt you to get out of the van and guard the front, so do so.
- Cars filled with Koreans will drive up and start attacking you.
- TIP: Make sure to pick up the body armor near the front gate, it will help immensely.
- Quickly kill the Koreans as they get out of the car. Soon after, you will get a notification that many more enemies are attacking from the rear.
- Finish off any goons in your area then turn around and head towards the rear of the area. Take cover and try to make progress on killing the masses of gangsters. There will be many waves of enemies, hopefully you have an automatic weapon equipped.
- TIP: If you run low on health, remember that there is a health powerup next to where you parked the van.
- Eventually Hsin's men will finish taking the documents. You will then be prompted to get back in the van and drive everyone back to the garage.
- At this point you will have both a wanted rating and Koreans chasing you. Fortunately your backup in the van will shoot enemies as you drive past them.
- Do your best to avoid traffic, the police, and the Koreans on your way back to the garage. Though it may seem hectic, the enemies do not pose much of a threat as long as you stay focused on driving.
- Once you park the van in the garage you will have to complete one last minigame.
- To open the safe, slowly trace your stylus along the path of the arrow. When the machine starts beeping, stop moving the stylus and hit the flashing button. This will input the first number of the combination. Repeat this process two more times to open the safe and end the mission.
-
Arms Out of Harm's Way
- Reward: $200
- TIP: Make sure you are stocked up on ammo before starting this mission, there will be a lot of shooting involved.
- Hsin wants you to destroy the weapons shipment at the docks.
- Go there and get out of your vehicle at the marker.
- The arms deal is happening at the docks, unfortunately you will have to fight your way to it.
- Start by going through the open gate and taking out all the enemies here.
- TIP: There is a body armor behind a pipe structure, make sure to pick it up.
- TIP: Grenades will be a great help for you here as the enemies tend to be clumped together. If you can, try to grab the enemies' attention and run back while tossing a grenade. With luck, you will take out a big bunch of them.
- Make your way around the small area, killing enemies along the way. There will be a grenade pickup, so don't be afraid to use them.
- As you get to the weapons deal, the Koreans speed away on a boat. Quickly run down the docks and get on the jet ski, picking up the Uzi along the way.
- NOTE: This Uzi packs a huge amount of ammo, so don't forget to pick it up.
- The final portion of the mission has you chase the boat, trying to destroy it. Simply hold down the fire button near it and it should go down in time. The mission ends when the boat is destroyed.
-
The Wages of Hsin
- Reward: $2500
- Though the Koreans are not the rats, they still want to secede from the Triad and Hsin wants no part of this. You are to destroy their hideout.

- Once the second area is clear, arm the second bomb. This one will take a four button code.
- NOTE: Before detonating the bomb, head forward and grab the health pickup if you need it. After blowing up the second area, it will be inaccessible from this pathway.
- Turn around and head towards the third bomb site. Again, watch out for enemies as you loop around the area. This one will also take a four button sequence.
- With the three sections weakened, it's time to bomb the main structure. More enemies will have spawned behind you so be prepared to shoot your way back.
- The area will start to explode after you input the four button sequence. Make your way back around to the third bomb site to find a boat in the water. Jump off and walk onto the yellow marker to end the mission.
-
The Tow Job
- Reward: $0
- Heston will appear at a cutscene ending one of Chan's missions. He will email you a little later in the game with a proposal that you come do some work for him.
- Heston tips you off to some smack he's placed on one of the Korean assassins' cars. It's up to you to make sure they get busted.
- Drive to the car marked on your GPS.
- Oops, looks like it's already being towed! Quickly drive in front of the tow truck to slow it down long enough for you to jack the truck.
- NOTE: The driver will not go quietly, however. You will have to either kill him or knock him out.
- Once you have control of the truck, get out and enter through the side. Rotate your stylus on the bottom of the screen to lower the Korean car down.
- Hotwire the car and get on the road.
- Now comes the fun part - you'll have to achieve a two star wanted rating. You can accomplish in what ever way you like.
- TIP: An easy way to do this is to ram a police car to get a one star rating, then start murdering innocents to get the second.
- Once you have the two star rating, your goal is to take the car to the police station. Follow the yellow GPS route to get to the station. Be careful not to wreck the car. The mission will end when you drive the car on the yellow marker.
-
The Tail Bagging The Dog
- Reward: $0
- You'll get an email from Heston telling you to bring him two bags of coke before his next mission.
- NOTE: If you haven't been doing much drug trading, make sure you have about $2000 first. You'll need it to buy the coke.
- Fortunately, Heston's email has a link to one of the Angels of Death dealers so you can make a stop to buy a couple bags of coke.
- After giving him the coke, Heston will tip you off that the Korean you put behind bars has been released. You are to follow him to his gang bosses.
- Get in a car and head towards the police station. You'll see the Korean get in the car and drive off.
- Follow him, making sure you keep enough distance so that he doesn't spot you.
- He'll stop at three underbosses along the way. You are to kill them quickly and return to follow him.
- TIP: The best way of doing this is by running over the enemy marked with a red arrow. He is the only one you need to kill.
- After the three underbosses are dead, he will make one more stop. This time, however, they will get in a vehicle and try to escape.
- Your final objective is to take out that vehicle. Use any combination of car ramming, shooting, and molotovs to destroy it. The mission will end when the car is destroyed.
-
Weapons of Mass Distraction
- Reward: $0
- Heston wants you to cause a distraction for the Koreans while he moves in on them.
- Drive to the lot marked on your GPS and destroy one of the cars to get the Koreans' attention.
- A group of about six or so thugs will come out of the building and attack you. Clean them up, then get in a vehicle and move to another one of the yellow markers on your screen.
- NOTE: As you kill more Koreans, gang members will start to follow and attack you. Unless you are at a marked location, ignore them and go to your next destination. You only have to kill Koreans until you get the next objective.
- Kill Koreans at this location until the game prompts you to move on to the third and final location.
- NOTE: Though you can attempt to run over these enemies, they will be agile in getting out of your way. It may be easier to kill them using conventional methods.
- Once you have killed enough Koreans at the final location, Huang will be prompted to lure them to a remote location. Go to this yellow marker and jump down into the boat at the end of the cliff.
- The mission will end when you sail off for a bit.
-
Street of Rage
- Reward: $200
- Something is wrong as you enter Heston's apartment - he's nowhere to be found!
- Soon after the cutscene, Huang gets an email from Heston that he and his squad are pinned down by the assassins.
- Quickly get in a vehicle and head towards Heston's men on the toll bridge.
- You need to kill all of the assassins on the bridge before they kill Heston's men.
- NOTE: You can employ the "running over" strategy here with these enemies as they should be fairly stationary behind their cover.
- TIP: If you decide to engage in a firefight, be sure to pick up the body armor right before the standoff.
- When all of the enemies are dead, head towards the yellow marker and through the hole in the wall.
- Heston is being held on the second floor of the parking structure. A cutscene will play as you approach him.
- That is one nasty chaingun. You do not want to get hit by it. As soon as you have control again, make sure you are behind the cover of a wall and not the car. The chaingunner can blow up cars, and you don't want to be next to one when he does.
- Wait until the enemy is facing or shooting away from you and use that opportunity to pump him full of bullets. If you see him start to turn around again, quickly get behind a wall again.
- He should drop soon after, and the mission will end after another short cutscene.
- TIP: Be cautious here, it's better to wait and get behind cover a second time, than it is to replay the first part of the mission because you got overzealous.
-
Operation Northwood
- Reward: $200
- Heston is having trouble with his dealer and he wants you to eliminate all the evidence to get IAD off his back.
- You will need a fast car. Fortunately, every time you attempt this mission, some schmuck will park one across the street from Heston's apartment for you.
- Drive the car to the garage indicated on your map in order to outfit it with a bomb. Follow the touch screen instructions to mount it.
- Once the bomb is in place, drive to the bar where Heston's dealer is.
- You will now be engaging the dealer in a high speed chase. This will undoubtedly be the hardest part of this mission. There is not a lot of room for error, so you will have to keep your eyes on both the map and the road in order to follow him.
- TIP: The dealer will duck into some alleyways to try and lose you. Follow him in, but not at the risk of crashing your car. It is better to slow down a bit and round corners safely than it is to crash.
- After a long, convoluted chase sequence, you will end up at his hideout.
- Park the car on the yellow marker, then get out and run to a safe distance. Tap the detonator to blow it up and end the mission.
-
Torpedo Run
- Reward: N/A
- Heston wants you do to the unthinkable and sink one of Zhou's boats.
- Run over to the docks and kill the policemen waiting for you there. You only need to delay them enough until you can jump in the water and enter the police boat.
- Once you are in the boat, turn towards Zhou's boat and head in that direction.
- NOTE: Your ship is equipped with torpedoes, press A to fire them.
- Take out Zhou's boat with torpedoes once you are close. The enemy boat will drop mines in an effort to stop you. You can either avoid them or shoot them with a torpedo.
- When the ship is blown up, you will get an email from Heston to head back to shore and prevent Zhou's men from getting away.
- Steer the boat towards the dock marked by a yellow dot on your radar. Get out of the boat and walk onto the marker to start the next phase of the mission.
- Zhou's men will enter the van and immediately start to pull away. Unfortunately it won't be as easy as just blowing up the van because you will have a two star wanted rating and the cops will be after you as well.
- Quickly run forward and get into the vehicle near the docks and start driving towards the van. Keep trying to ram it with your vehicle and eventually the two men inside will get out of the car. When they do, run them over with your vehicle.
- NOTE: Your first priority is not getting busted by the police. Always drive away from policemen on foot as to not get busted.
- When the two men are dead, the last thing you have to do is blow up the van.
- Lead the cops away for enough time so you can get close enough to throw a Molotov at the van.
- When the van and two men are dead, the mission will complete. Any wanted rating you have will disappear.
-
Scrambled
- Reward: N/A
- Heston has some good news for you and wants you to meet him. If you help his FIB contact with his wiretap problem, he will divulge the name of the rat to you.
- Start by getting in a vehicle and heading towards the yellow GPS marker.
- Unfortunately, as you get closer to the scrambler, your GPS will malfunction. You will have to rely on the green meter on the upper left of your screen to find the scrambler. If you are moving in the right direction, the meter will increase, otherwise it will decrease.
- The first scrambler is in an alleyway. You will know you are in the right place if you see enemies shooting at you.
- Take care of all the enemies then toss an explosive at the scrambler truck to destroy it.
- There will be another scrambler nearby. It should be on the rooftop overlooking a gas station. Again, there will be enemies attacking you to signal that you are looking in the right place.
- TIP: Remember to pick up the hand grenades on the bottom of the fire escape leading to the roof. Use these grenades while behind the cover right next to the stairs to take out both the scrambler and the enemies. Don't worry if the green arc doesn't travel as far as the scrambler, the explosion should destroy it still. If it doesn't, toss another one there too.
- Once the second one is destroyed, the existence of a third scrambler will be revealed. This one will be by far the hardest, as it will be mobile.
- You will want to get in a heavily armored vehicle if possible. Good choices are the Patriot, or a large truck if you see one. The scrambler van will be packing some very high firepower and lesser vehicles will be destroyed quickly.
- Try to ram the van while firing at it to slowly whittle away its health. If you are feeling adventurous, you can try tossing grenades at it.
- TIP: If you are having trouble destroying the van, it may be a good idea to order some high powered weaponry from Ammo-Nation before attempting this mission.
- The mission will end when the last scrambler is destroyed.
-
Grave Situation
- Reward: $250
- Rudy has proposed a working partnership with the triad. He tells you the rat is Jimmy Capra and that only the Triad could take him down. Unfortunately, he speaks too soon and Capra's men ambush you in the middle of your conversation.
- This will be a very quick and intense mission. Your goal is to escape with Rudy out of the cemetery. Capra's men are heavily armed and will try to impede you at every turn along the way.
- Start by taking out the two men in front of you. Ignore the one outside the gate as he can't really harm you.
- NOTE: The first enemy you kill will drop body armor along with ammunition. Make sure to pick this and any other equipment you see off of downed enemies.
- Once you are through the first gate, you should see some grenades to your right. They will help you get through this fight.
- As you approach the next gate, a group of three men will be firing at you. Take cover behind the gate and toss a grenade at them. The explosion should knock them to the floor, allowing you to quickly mow them down with your automatic weapons.
- Keep moving through cover, using grenades, and shooting enemies to make your way through the cemetary. The mission will end after you round the corner and a cutscene plays with D'Avanzo leaving.
-
Steal The Wheels
- Reward: N/A
- Rudy wants you to steal Jimmy Capra's car with recorded evidence that he's the rat.
- Head to the Messina compound as noted by the yellow marker on your GPS.
- Unfortunately, you can't just waltz in the front gate and grab the car.
- Go around the right side of the building through the trees and you will see a ramp to go up. Drop down and be prepared to fight a lot of enemies on your way to the car.
- TIP: There are a couple of health power ups if you need to recharge your health.
- TIP: Try to stay behind the cover of a car and toss out grenades to thin out the enemy ranks.
- As soon as you see an opening, make a run for the car and get in. You will have to make it back to the hideout without totaling the car.
- Ignore the enemies and keep focused on following the GPS to the marker. There will be enemy cars on your tail trying to kill you, try to keep your cool and stay the course.
- NOTE: Don't try to take out the enemy cars by ramming them, the condition of your car is more important than killing enemies.
- The mission will end when you reach the yellow marker.
-
The World's A Stooge
- Reward: $1500
- Rudy's listened to the tapes and they prove that Capra has been talking to the Feds. However, he wants you to take out the rats mentioned on it before he will hand over the tapes to you.
- This will be a very straightforward mission. There are three rats that you have to kill, each with their own bodyguards. You can take them on any order that you wish. They will be marked on your GPS by yellow dots.
- As you approach each yellow marker, it will switch to red, denoting where the main rat is. Almost assuredly, he will run away each time. Take him out quickly and you won't have to worry about him getting too far away from you.
- NOTE: The rat in the park will try to escape by jumping in the small lake and running through the park, feel free to give chase in order to ditch his bodyguards for an isolated kill.
- NOTE: The rat near the water will try to escape via boat. Fortunately, there's a jet ski nearby along with an Uzi. Pick up the Uzi and start after the enemy boat. Make the enemy boat your first target. Once it is down, focus on the bodyguards. Even if this is the last rat you need to kill in the mission, the bodyguards will not despawn. They will still chase you, so be sure to kill them before they kill you.
- The mission ends when all three rats are dead.
-
Double Trouble
- Reward: N/A
- NOTE: You will need 10 bags of ecstasy before you can start this mission. If you don't have any, plot a course to a Russian Mafia dealer in order to buy some.
- Lester is trying to infiltrate the Angels of Death and needs your help in order to do so.
- Get on the bike and drive towards the AoD building marked on your map. You will have to perform a series of tasks on the motorcycle in order to gain the trust of the AoD.
- The first thing you have to do is perform a wheelie by holding down the Y and B buttons, then releasing the Y button in order to peel out.
- Your next objective is to ride along the paths marked by the waypoints on the ground. Do not worry about popping any more wheelies, you will not have to do anymore of those.
- Though the game says you must ride impressively, your only objective is to not mess up as you make your way through the waypoints.
- Eventually you'll reach an alleyway filled with The Lost gangsters. You will have to kill all of these before moving on.
- TIP: You can shoot from your bike better than you can on foot, as your bike will provide you with increased speed and mobility. Press the A button to shoot, much like you do on foot.
- When all of the gangsters are dead, more waypoints will appear and you will have to continue riding through them.
- More Lost gangsters will appear, this time on bikes. You will have to kill all but one of these. Look on your map to find the red dots and eliminate them all except for one.
- With the last one killed, you will have to meet up Lester at the rendezvous point to pick up the bomb.
- Your last objective is to ride to The Lost meeting place and plant the bomb.
- Like a previous mission, you will have to repeat the button presses for the arming sequence. However, this time there will be a 5 button pattern to remember.
- Once this is done, a cutscene will play and the mission will end.
-
Faster Pusher Man! Sell! Sell!
- Reward: 10 Bags of Coke
- Lester has been too doped up on drugs to be able to pass the AoD's final initiation test - selling drugs. You will have to sell for him instead.
- These drug deals are unlike the ones in the normal game. You are basically acting as a deliveryman for bags of coke. There will be buyers marked on your screen and map by blue arrows. Simply drive up to one of them and stop your vehicle. A window will open on the touch screen where you have to quickly slide over a bag of coke from your bag to the dealer's.
- NOTE: Time will still pass while you are shuffling the drugs to the buyer. Make sure the coast is clear from cops or enemies before initiating a trade.
- You will have to make enough deals to fill the blue meter on top and empty your bag of drugs. After you make a couple of deals a new element will be introduced - the rival dealer. They are represented on screen by red arrows and will also have a bar on top of your screen. At this point, the mission becomes a race against time to finish selling your drugs before the rival does. They will do everything they can to hinder you, including running you over and shooting you.
- TIP: If you see a rival car near you as you are about to make a deal, don't bother stopping. For some reason, buyers will always go to their car first, even if you are there first.
- TIP: Make sure you are always in a relatively undamaged vehicle. The last thing you want is to be in an exploding vehicle when you are about to make a crucial deal.
- Once you have emptied your bag of all the drugs, the last thing to do is go back to the rendezvous point to meet Lester. The rivals will still be trying to kill you, so keep an eye out for them still.
-
Convoy Conflict
- Reward: $500
- Lester needs you to help get closer to Meredith in order to determine if the AoD are talking to the Feds.
- Run behind lester and get on the bike. Ride behind him until you reach two vans.
- Lester will get into the van and will leave it to you to escort them. View the vans' status by checking the two blue bars on the top left. When they are filled up, you will fail the mission.
- The Lost will try and take you and the vans out along the way. Keep them at bay using your machinegun.
- TIP: The best strategy is to stay close to the vans. As enemy vehicles approach, tap the fire button and the game should auto aim for you.
- After a short while, the vans will stop in a park. It appears that The Lost have set up a road block up ahead. Clear out the road block by tossing a couple of grenades to thin out the enemies, then shooting the rest. The vans will start moving again when the enemies are gone.
- Continue escorting the vans until they reach their destination, ending the mission.
