I translated this document from my Dutch walkthrough after that one was
complete. Everything you see is new and the FAQ will not be updated anymore
unless the Dutch FAQ is also updated.

\ C / PREPARATIONS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This document is a translation of my other Dutch walkthrough. While
translating I did not play the game anymore, so it is possible that some
translations (Especially names for items, locations, etcetera!) are not
entirely correct. Read the tips below before you start the game and use this
walkthrough. These remarks contain valuable information about using this FAQ
or the game.
The missions are located under the person that hands them out. There are many
orders in which you can do them, but it’s also a possibility that a mission
you are looking for is not yet available. So if you can’t seem to find a way
to start a mission, try completing other missions for other contacts first and
after a while the contact which has the mission you’re looking for will appear
on the map again.
This walkthrough only contains information on how to get a hundred percent
completion. All story missions, extra missions, challenges, items and what
else is necessary to get it will be in here. The walkthrough doesn’t contain
any additional information. Unique Jumps, two player Rampages, mini games and
other stuff like that are not included in this document.
For the Tags, Horseshoes, Snapshots and Oysters, directions are given based on
the map in the pause menu. The description will always start with a easy to
recognize place on the map, so always first open your map when following
directions. Further directions can both be based on the map or your real
position in the game world.
Let’s talk about exits, streets and alleys. When the walkthrough says ‘the
first on your right’ or ‘the second one to the left’, I’m talking about real
streets and exits. So only real streets and exits which are almost all
available on your map. Alleys don’t count. When I do mean alleys or special
cases, it will be mentioned.
There are many weapons available in this game, divided into different
categories. You can only carry one weapon in each category. That’s why for
example you can’t hold Molotov cocktails and grenades at the same time. So
make sure you always have the appropriate weapon for the situation you get
into. By buying a weapon at Ammu-Nation you will automatically replace the
weapon you had with the weapon you buy. Other weapons you run into on the
street can be switched by pressing L1.

about it.

tries to fix the neighborhood and fight the opposing gang. Meanwhile corrupt
cops and other criminal organizations make life hard on him. CJ makes friends

\ A / SWEET /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[BIG SMOKE]
After CJ’s rough return to Los Santos, jump on the bike in front of you. Use
the little in game radar or press Start to view the bigger map, look for the
CJ sign and head over there. At the edge of the big square you come to is a
red glow, step inside it to be able to continue.
[SWEET & KENDL]
Because your car is blown up you need to do this mission on a bike. Jump on it
and follow Sweet, the guy with the blue arrow above his head and the blue dot
on your radar. You’re being followed by enemy gang members in a car and you’re
pretty defenseless on your bike. Paddle faster by tapping the cross button and
try to stay ahead of the car. After a while you’ll make a short stop and then
you have to follow Ryder, who is now the one indicated. It’s more of the same,
just follow the guy and try to stay away from the pursuing car. Park your bike
in the red glow at the end.
[RYDER]
Get into Ryder’s car and a yellow dot will appear on your map. Drive towards
it and park your car in the red glow next to the building. Leave the car and
enter the building through the indicated door, step into the red glow to get a
haircut. You can decide for yourself which one, just watch your money. You can
first pick and look at a model, then decided whether you want to buy it or
change it. When outside, the eating system is explained to you. Then you have
to cross the road and enter the pizza place to buy some food. Ryder will ruin
everything and you have to get away, so get into his car and drive off. Return
to Ryder’s house, indicated on the map, and park his car where you started.
[TAGGING UP TURF]
This time you’re driving with Sweet, so get into his car and follow the route
to the indicated spot. Here he’ll show you how to spray over a tag, when he’s
done you have to do it yourself on the two green squares indicated on your
map. Get into Sweet’s car afterwards and drive to the next area. Again you
have to spray over two tags, but near one of them are a few enemy gang
members. An explanation on how to spray them in the face follows. Don’t waste
any time, just spray over the tag quickly and return to the dot on your radar.
Climb the fence over there, then also climb the larger fence behind it. Turn
around and climb onto the building, find the tag on the other side of the roof
and spray over it. Sweet will show up again, get into his car and return to
the starting position.
[CLEANING THE HOOD]
Grab one of the cars and wait for Ryder to get in. Pay specific attention to
the message on how to keep Ryder close. Race to the indicated spot and after
the cut scene you have to drive to the red dot on your radar. Whack the crack
dealer and pick up the bat he drops. Move to the next indicated location and
enter the building. Start with batting down the enemy with the bat first, then
take out the other opponents. Exit the house when they’re defeated and return
to Sweet’s house.
[DRIVE-THRU]
Get into the car with the three other guys and drive over to Cluckin’ Bell,
indicated on your map. Before you know it you’re chasing another gang car. Try
to smash it into every obstacle available and to jam it somewhere. Meanwhile
your buddies will fire at that car. Make sure you’re not too close when it
explodes. If gang members got out of the car, chase them so that they’ll be
shot. Return to Sweet’s house where you started. Smoke is still inside the
car, bring him back to his own house.
[NINES AND AK’S]
Drive the car Smoke gets into towards the indicated location and complete the
shooting tutorial. Then bring back Smoke before going to Binco on the map and
enter it. Step inside the glow to be able to try on and buy new clothes. Leave
the shop and you’re done.
[DRIVE-BY]
Get into the car with your buddies and drive it to the indicated spot in the
enemy territory. After a cut scene you have to go around the corner towards
the red spots on your map. Don’t come too close to the spots or the car in
between you, just drive by slow enough while keeping focused until all gang
members are dead. Drive to the next spot where you have to make sure your
friends shoot the bad guys again. Repeat this with all the red dots on your
radar and try to keep your car in one piece by avoiding collisions. After
you’ve been to the park, the police is chasing you. The Pay ‘N’ Spray sign
will appear on your radar, so drive over there and place your car inside to
get it sprayed. Then safely drive everybody back to the starting location.
[SWEET’S GIRL]
Quickly hijack a car from the street and race it to the indicated spot.
Enemies will appear when you get close, they’re all on the sidewalk so it’s
easy to drive over it and take out a few. Do this until your car breaks down
and then get a new one. These guys are dangerous, so only go near them inside
a vehicle. After all enemies have died, park your car in the red glow to pick
up Sweet and his girlfriend. Drive off quickly, because more enemies in cars
will appear and follow you. Quickly bring everybody back to the starting
position.
[CESAR VIALPANDO]
Get into a car and drive to the location indicated on your map. Drive the new
car your in backwards into the garage and look at the possibilities. You don’t
have to do anything in particular for this mission, so just leave the garage
when you’re done. Drive this new car to the dot on your radar and park it
inside the red glow. Just bet the maximum or the amount of money you have,
it’s easy to win this. You have to push the right analog stick to the
indicated direction at the right time to synchronize your moves to the music.
In the end you need to have more points than your opponent.
[DOBERMAN]
The S now indicates the location of Ammu-Nation. Step inside end an
explanation will follow, you have to exterminate the Ballas in a specific
area. You can get weapons here at Ammu-Nation, then head over to the indicated
location. On your way to the purple glowing area, read the on screen
information. Walk around in the purple area looking for Ballas dressed in
purple. Open fire and kill all the purple dots that appear on your radar.
Collect stuff like money and weapons after finishing off the first wave. This
area will be yours after defeating a second and third wave of enemies. Pay
attention to the explanation about areas under attack and the money you get
for them, then a special enemy will appear and you have to kill him to finish
this mission.
[LOS SEPULCROS]
You have to recruit the men with the blue arrows above their heads, the on
screen information will show you how to do that. Get into the car and wait
until they get in as well, then drive to the indicated location and let
everybody out in the red glow. Climb over the wall like the rest and approach
Sweet. Look at the instructions and then shoot your way to Kane. Kill him too
and then shoot any remaining Ballas until Sweet manages to get a getaway car.
When he has one, get into it but leave your comrades behind and head to the
nearest Pay ‘N’ Spray to get rid of the police. This is harder when you bring
your two friends, because they will keep firing and then you can’t lose your
stars. Without them it’s easier to get Sweet back home safely.
[REUNITING THE FAMILIES]
Get into the car with your friends and bring them to the indicated motel on
your map. The police will show up when Sweet goes inside. Instead of shooting
them, turn left and head inside the motel. Climb the stairs and make your way
through the hallways and the rooms while taking out special agents. Act slowly
and carefully and move towards the blue dot on your radar to find Sweet there.
Then you’re outside again and you’ll have to shoot the men in the helicopter
and then the helicopter itself until it crashes. Follow Sweet and you’ll get
inside a car with Ryder and Big Smoke. You’ll be chased by several police
cars, blow them up by shooting the engine and mow down the officers that get
onto your car. Keep repeating this and watch your car’s damage.
[THE GREEN SABRE]
After Sweet’s briefing Cesar will call you, get into a car and head over to
his location. Park the car you had in the red glow and get into the indicated
car around the corner. What you’ll see there is quite an turnaround in the
story. Get out as soon as possible and into another car, race it to the
indicated location on your map while keeping an eye on Sweet’s health bar.
When you arrive at the scene, drive over some Ballas if possible and park your
car in the red glow, Sweet’s health bar will then disappear. Get out and shoot
all the enemies, more will arrive and even more after that. This last group
will drive around a bit before getting out, so wait until they do and then mow
them down. You can also blast at the car until it explodes, but only do that
when you’re certain that it doesn’t explode near the circle of cars you’re in.
[BEAT DOWN ON B DUP]
Make sure you have some weapons before you start this mission and recruit some
gang members before getting in a car with Sweet. Take one in the direction of
the yellow dot and park there. B Dup isn’t there, so head to the next
location. In this purple area you need to start a new gang war, so look for
some Ballas and mow them down. Try to find a well covered spot so that you
take as less damage as possible during the fight against the waves of enemies.
Afterwards you’re standing in front of a house with a few strong enemies next
to the door with arrows above their heads. Duck and cycle through the targets
to take them out, do this quickly and only take care of the ones with the
arrows. When all the red dots on your radar are gone you need to approach the
front door for the confrontation.
[GROVE 4 LIFE]
More gang wars in this mission, so make sure you have a bulletproof vest, a
lot of weapons and as much assistance as possible. Go to the indicated
location and start the gang war by blasting some Ballas. Survive the three
waves of enemies and pick up health, weapons and bulletproof vests if you can
find them. Then you need to take over another area, it’s up to you to decide
which one. So take the group to another purple area and repeat the process.
After taking over the chosen area you can return to the starting point to drop
off Sweet there.
[LOS DESPERADOS]
Sweet’s neighborhood is apparently closed off, but Cesar’s area still needs
some help. Recruit some gang members and try to get a car from the street. It
could be difficult, so if you can’t manage to get one you can walk and take
more recruits with you. When you reach the station Cesar will take you to a
neighborhood full of enemy gang members. Stick with him while he walks through
the houses and take out the enemies you run into. Eventually all the dots have
to be taken off the radar before you can proceed to the red glow at the
beginning of an alley. Again a firefight will break loose. Shoot and move
slowly through the alleyway and take out everyone. Also watch out behind you
and watch the comments from other people and on screen. In the next part you
first need to take out the heavily armed enemies before you start on the rest.
[END OF THE LINE]
Before you’re allowed to start this mission, the last one, you must have
control over most areas in Los Santos. If that’s not the case then you need to
gather some helpers to go out and take over gang properties. Pick up guns,
health and bulletproof vests while doing that. As soon as you have enough
areas under your control you’ll get a phone call from Sweet, after which you
can go to his house to start the mission. Get into a car with him and drive to
the indicated location where Big Smoke will be. You have to ram the door, for
which you need to pick up a SWAT tank now shown on your radar with a dot.
Approach it from the back, get in and drive off with it. Return to where Sweet
still is and drive the tank through the wall. Clear the enemies by just
driving over them and don’t get out before you get to the indicated door.
Shoot your way through the hallway heading to the double doors. Don’t run in
right away, it’s very busy on the other side. Try to lure enemies towards you
and be patient. After getting rid of the front line you can enter the room and
shoot the remaining enemies from behind the boxes. Don’t forget to pick up
weapons and useful items. Follow the obvious route while facing more enemies.
Check the room on the side before going through the next double doors if you
need health. After the double doors, kill the guy at the top of the stairs and
grab the bulletproof vest. Continue through more double doors to a large room
with many enemies. Lure them through the doors and take them out one by one.
Carefully enter the room and take care of the rest, then go up the stairs on
the right in the back. Walk all the way around the walkway, clear the enemies
and head through the double doors. Shoot a guy at the top of the stairs again
and grab the bulletproof vest. Make your way through the enemies and double
doors to a larger hallway, look out for enemies with shotguns when you get
there. Check the rooms on the side for a bulletproof vest and more health.
Follow the hallway further and you’ll reach Big Smoke. You’ll engage in a
fight with him, equip a shotgun and fire at him from close range. Keep doing
that even when the lights go out until he is defeated. Switch your attention
to his goons every now and then to stop them from shooting. After the cut
scene the building is on fire and you need to escape. Turn on your night
vision goggles and grab the bulletproof vest. Descend to the previous floor
and shoot your way down to the one before that. Pick up the fire extinguisher
and follow the route back while putting out a fire here and there to be able
to continue. The route you have to follow is exactly the same, only backwards
now. It can get pretty tough and everything is timed as well. Evade enemies
when possible and try to get outside within the time provided. Here you have
to chase after Tenpenny and Sweet in a car. Keep chasing him for a long time
and an officer will try to remove Sweet from the ladder. Get closer with the
car so that Sweet will drop into it next to you. Sweet will take the wheel and
you have to start shooting. The rest of the mission consists of keeping away
cars, motorcycles and police officers on the fire truck. If you can keep this
up and the car remains intact, you’ll finish this mission and be done with it.

/_1_\________
\ B / RYDER /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[HOME INVASION]
You’ll get into a truck with Ryder and a timer is started. Drive the truck
with the back end into the red glow at the indicated location and enter the
house. Pay attention to the information and keep quiet when searching fro
crates of weapons. These are indicated with arrows when you get close. Grab a
crate and bring it back to the truck, then go inside twice more to get two
more crates. You’ll find a crate in the main room, one in the room on the
right side and another one at the top of the stairs. You can go back to look
for more, but getting into the truck and driving the stuff to the warehouse at
the indicated position is also already possible.
[CATALYST]
Drive to the indicated location with Ryder, you’ll encounter a few enemies
there. Driver over them into the tunnel, turn around and repeat the process
until they’re dead. If a guy is standing on the train, you have to get out and
shoot him or get up there to fight him. After that a few Ballas will arrive,
so quickly get into your car again and hit them with it. If Ryder got out of
the car, make sure that he survives and that you don’t hit him. When all the
enemies are dead, climb the back of the train and throw the required amount of
boxes to Ryder within one minute of time. Aim and throw a box with L1, holding
it longer will make you throw harder and further. Afterwards you have to flee
to a Pay ‘N’ Spray to get your car sprayed before you return to Ryder’s house.
[ROBBING UNCLE SAM]
After getting into the truck, drive it to the indicated spot in the harbor
area. Park your car, climb over the wall and whack the guard. Blast the
control panel to open the gate and then follow the truck to the warehouse.
Shoot any guards that might show up, then blast another panel near the
warehouse entrance. More soldiers are inside, take them out and get into the
fork lift truck. Place the four crates from the back of the warehouse into the
back of the truck after reading how the fork lift truck works. Meanwhile you
also have to protect Ryder when he’s being shot at and take out enemies that
are after you as well. To the right of the warehouse are more crates, get two
of them so that you reach the required number of six and get behind the wheel
of the truck when you have all of them. Bring the load to the indicated other
warehouse with the police on your tail. If you use the horn, Ryder will throw
an exploding box out of the truck, which comes in handy to get rid of
pursuers.

/_1_\____________
\ C / BIG SMOKE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[OG LOC]
Take your friends to the indicated location on your map, the police station.
After picking up OG Loc there, drive to the next location. Get out with OG Loc
and ring the doorbell at the house he goes to. You’re target will run off, so
chase him on another motorcycle. Stay close to him so OG Loc can shoot him. If
you have the right weapon yourself, you can also shoot when Freddy is driving
right in front of you. If you’re not able to take the same route, quickly take
another one in the same direction and try to get back to Freddy as soon as
possible. After doing enough damage, Freddy will step off his bike, so get off
yourself and shoot him. Then hijack another vehicle, bring OG Loc to the next
indicated location and drop him off there.
[RUNNING DOG]
Get into Big Smoke’s car and drive him to the right spot on your map. When you
regain control, you have to chase down the escaping target. So sprint after
him (Tapping the cross button makes you go even faster!) and knock him to the
ground when you’re near him. To do this you need to keep up with him while
running through small alleys and over fences. When you’re able to get him to
the ground, kicking him a few times should be enough to take him out.
[WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS]
You’re in Smoke’s car again, bring him to Unity Station, the dot on your map.
After the cut scene that will start there you need to get on the bike next to
you and wait for Big Smoke to get on as well. Then follow the train along the
tracks to the left. Overtake the train and keep driving to the right of the
front end of the train. Carefully navigate the corners so that Big Smoke can
shoot down the enemies on the train before it reaches the tunnel. Keep away
from it to avoid the oncoming train and bring Big Smoke back to his house. If
you’re not able to take out the enemies on the train before it reaches the
tunnel, you have to drive in front of it to avoid the oncoming train. There’s
a route next to the tracks which you can follow so that Smoke is still able to
fire. Later you can get back on the tracks again, but you won’t have forever
to finish them off.
[JUST BUSINESS]
Once again you’re on your way in Big Smoke’s car. Bring him to Downtown and
park in the red glow at the indicated spot. Suddenly you’re behind a small
wall and there are a lot of enemies in the hall. Shoot them down one by one
and cover Smoke. Slowly follow him and keep moving down the enemies from a
crouched position. The next part will take place outside. Just follow Smoke
and kill the enemies that appear, make sure Smoke isn’t in your line of fire.
Afterwards you’re on the back of a motorcycle with unlimited ammunition for a
machine gun. Take out the motorcycles behind you by first targeting the
standing guy and then the bike itself. Eventually you’ll make a short stop in
which you have to gun down enemies between cars. When on the road again, many
motorcycles and cars will appear. Keep them at a distance and later a truck
will join. Leave it alone, just keep firing at the cars and bikes. If you’re
able to keep this up long enough, you’ll jump over the truck. When Smoke says
so, shoot the gate in the direction your heading, it must be destroyed before
you get there! Fire at the chasing motorcycles again when inside the tunnel,
hitting barrels helps. The mission is complete when you lose them.

[LIFE’S A BEACH]
Grab a car and drive it to the indicated spot on the beach. Approach the DJ
and you’ll have a conversation when you step inside the red glow. React
positively a few times and you’ll have to dance. Press the right button at the
right time and score more than 4000 points. Give a positive reaction again and
get into the car after the DJ did that. Drive off while being shot at and the
DJ will jump out, bring the car to the indicated location on the beach and
park it inside the garage.
[MADD DOGG’S RHYMES]
There are probably a few cars available on the parking lot, so get into one
and drive towards the dot on your map. There aren’t many roads in the hills,
so it might be a good idea to check your big map and calculate the best route
to the house. When you reach the driveway you’ll be told to go around the
back, so walk to the back door and enter the house. You’ll suddenly have a
knife and learn how to make stealth kills. Make one and continue. Evade the
guard while crossing the room and duck into the shadow in the room on the left
when you’re told. When the guard stops on the right, walk into the direction
he came from and you’ll be told to crawl along the bar in the next room. Act
on it and also do the same thing to pass the couches behind it. To the left is
a room with a bulletproof vest, exit it on the other side and kill the guard
that has his back turned in your direction. Get the item you need from the
room across the hallway and make your way back to get outside, either using
weapons or stealth. You can grab the bike located in front of the door and
switch to a car when you encounter one. Get back to OG Loc where you started
the mission.
[MANAGEMENT ISSUES]
For this mission you need a car again, so take one off the road and head
towards the dot. This is a car in motion, bump into it to make the driver step
outside. He will begin firing at you, so get out of your car and into his
through the passenger side. Bring it to the Pay ‘N’ Spray to get it fixed,
don’t damage it on your way to the next location or you’ll be forced to visit
another Pay ‘N’ Spray again. Just make sure you arrive at the location before
ten o’clock in the evening. Park your car between the other two and stay
between them while driving until you’re told to stop. When your guest enters
the car, drive off towards the next dot on your radar while being followed by
the other two cars. Accelerate when you reach the pier, press triangle at the
end to jump out.
[HOUSE PARTY]
When you start this mission OG Loc will move to another location. Before you
go there you need to buy a new outfit and get a new haircut. The barber is
right across the street from the burger place, so get it done there. Buy some
clothes somewhere else and then go meet OG Loc, you can only activate the
mission at a specific time. After a few cut scenes you’ll be involved in a
shootout between your friends and a few Ballas. Duck behind a car and select a
good weapon. Change between targets and shoot all your enemies, also look
behind you every now and then. When the first load is dead, more will appear
on the bridge. Mow them down too and more Ballas will appear from every side.
Take cover near a wall or another obstacle and take them out one by one. Pick
up their weapons if necessary. Search for remaining enemies and kill them.

[HIGH STAKES, LOW-RIDER]
Make sure you get a good and pretty fast car, it has to be a Lowrider, before
you park in the red glow near Cesar’s place. You have to follow him in that
car to a race, where you need to park your car in the red glow to start it. A
race will follow in which you must hit multiple checkpoints and cross the
finish line in first position. Pay attention to the arrows in the checkpoints
to figure out which way to go for the next one. The end is at a pier and only
first place is good enough.
[KING IN EXILE]
Nothing much to do here, just go to the spot where this mission starts and
listen to the story Cesar has to tell you. Afterwards he’ll disappear from
your map again for a while, but you’ll get Catalina in return.
[WU ZI MU]
You need a good and fast car for this mission, so hijack one from the road and
park it inside the red glow to start this mission. After the cut scene a timer
will start and the race will begin. It will take you all across the
countryside. Don’t drive too fast, just fast enough to stay ahead and win.
With a higher speed it’s easier to miss exits or roll over after hitting a
bump. After a while you’ll reach a group of farms, drive around it instead of
using the ramp to jump. Then it’s just a matter of following the arrows in the
checkpoints to the finish line in the mountains and cross it before any of
your opponents do.
[FAREWELL, MY LOVE]
You can start this mission at the spot where you ended the last one. It’s
another race and this time you’ll get a car appointed to you and you’ll take
the same route as in the previous mission but backwards. Try to get ahead of
your opponents early in the race and then drive safely but with a steady pace.
There are no difficult obstacles, just make sure you stay away from water.
You’ll finish this mission when you reach the finish line as the first one
there.
[BACK TO SCHOOL]
You have to do this mission at the red S located south of your garage in San
Fierro. The 360 lets you turn in a circle by steering while holding the square
and cross buttons. Your ending position is very important. In The 180 you have
to head straight to the cones, make a half turn between them with the
handbrake and park at the start again. In Whip And Terminate you have to use
R1 to smoothly go around the corner and stop at the end without having hit any
cones. In Pop And Control a tire will blow out and you have to navigate nicely
through the cones and stop at the end. Burn And Lap is a matter of making laps
using the handbrake to go around the corner without hitting cones. In Cone
Coil you have to weave through some rows of cones, make a half turn at the end
and drive back to the start. The ‘90’ is accomplished by using the brake and
handbrake to slide the car right between the two other cars. In Wheelie Weave
you must hit the slope to get onto two wheels. Keep your car that way until
reaching the red glow. In Spin And Go you’ll start backwards, so drive in
reverse and swing around the car when you reach the bend. Drive forward until
you reach the ending position. In P.I.T. Maneuver you must hit the other car
from the side on the rear so that it will spin completely and you can stop
close to the car. Alley Oop can be a tricky one. Hit the ramp with just two
wheels and release the throttle when you’re in the air, steer with the left
analog stick to make the turn and land on your wheels. City Slicking is a race
through the city, in which you have to reach the checkpoint and drive back to
the starting position within two minutes and without any damage. Plan your
route and don’t stop!
[ZEROING IN]
Before you can do this and the following missions you much purchase Wang Cars
for 50.000 dollars, to the northeast of you garage in San Fierro. Then Cesar’s
radar sign will move to the garage itself, so start the mission there. A woman
will take off in her car and you’ll get an updated indicated location through
her cell phone every few seconds. You have to reach the dot before it
disappears. When you do this fast enough you’ll catch up with the car soon
enough, chase it and make it spin with the previously learned P.I.T. Maneuver
(A hit on the side at the rear end!). The woman will get out, so grab her car
and bring it back to your garage.
[TEST DRIVE]
Grab a car and take Cesar to the competitive car showroom on the other side of
the city. Park inside the red glow and when you’re in the car just drive right
outside. Stick close to Cesar in the other car, you can press L1 for the nitro
when you need some extra speed. You don’t really need it anywhere, so use it
when you get to far behind. You can still brake when using it, so you can use
it in doses. When you almost reach the garage you’ll have to perform a few
special maneuvers, like driving backwards out of an alley, weave through
obstacles and jump a ramp. Park the car next to Cesar’s at the garage.
[CUSTOMS FAST TRACK]
Get into Cesar’s car and drive it to the indicated spot at the harbor. Climb
into the crane by pressing triangle after stepping inside the red glow. Use
the crane to lift a container, how to do this is explained on the screen. Put
the container down onto the red glow and Cesar will check whether you have the
right car. If not, repeat the process with the next container. As soon as you
have the right car, security will show up so help Cesar to take them out until
he says you should leave in the car. Get in, pick up Cesar and bring him back
to the garage.
[PUNCTURE WOUNDS]
For this mission you’ll use a car equipped with Stingers, so step inside it
and drive it to the red dot on your map. This is another car so it moves as
well. When you get close you’ll get to see the car, the driver is pretty
reckless. You have to try and get in front of her on a straight piece of the
road and use a Stinger by pressing the circle button. When she hits it will
you can get into her car and drive back to the garage after fixing the tires.
You have only three Stingers to accomplish this, so time and use them well.
After this mission Wang Cars is your property and it will generate money which
you can pick up in front of the entrance.

[BURNING DESIRE]
First you have to pick up some Molotov cocktails at the indicated spot on your
map. Take them to the house, the new dot on your map, and throw the cocktails
through the indicated windows. One for each window is enough, go around the
entire house and shoot enemies that get in your way. When you run out of
cocktails you can get more nearby, just look at your map to find them. When
you’ve tossed a bottle through every window it’s time to save a girl, so enter
the building and go to the room in the back on the right to find a fire
extinguisher. Take it up the stairs and extinguish the fire between you and
the girl, use your radar to find her. Then you have to take another route to
get outside, it’s pretty much the same as the one you just took but with a few
detours with fire. Once outside you’ve rescued the girl, get into a car with
her and drive her home.
[GRAY IMPORTS]
Grab some transportation and drive it to the indicated location. Stop inside
the red flow and look at the area. There are multiple enemies and two fork
lift trucks. Carefully approach the dot on your radar and take out the enemies
you encounter on the way. The fork lift trucks can be annoying, either pull
out the driver or shoot the barrels they carry. At the indicated spot of the
warehouse, shoot the panel to the left of the entrance. Inside are more
enemies, so continue carefully and shoot everything that moves. Follow the
route through the hallways and take out all the enemies. Pay attention to
pickups like health, bulletproof vests and weapons along the way. Shooting
barrels might also help. Eventually you’ll come to a larger room, first take
out the enemies and then use the stairs to go up and through the door opening.
A few Ballas will protect a Russian dealer, so shoot them quickly and chase
him after he runs. If you’re able to kill him quickly, you’re done. If not,
follow him outside through many enemies. If he manages to reach his car,
you’ll need to find some transportation of your own, preferably a motorcycle.
Chase him and shoot his car until it explodes.
[BADLANDS]
You really need a gun for this mission, so first drop by the local Ammu-
Nation, the little pistol icon on your map. Buy a Shotgun, it doesn’t matter
which one. A bulletproof vest might also come in handy. Hijack a car off the
road and drive it to the dot on your map. This is the beginning of a route
into the mountains, so follow it up and head towards the next dot. You’ll
reach a wooden cabin guarded by officers. Evade them and sneak into the
building. Kill the guy inside and then shoot the cops when they come inside.
You can also do this the other way around, but it will turn into a long chase.
When the men is dead, take his picture and deliver it at the dot that appears
on your map.
[SNAIL TRAIL]
First you need to pick up a sniper rifle from the building site behind your
garage, it’s located inside one of the concrete tubes. When you have it, head
over to the train station on the other side of the garage and the reporter
will get on. Follow the train along the track until he arrives in Los Santos,
watch out for oncoming trains. The train will stop underground in Los Santos
and the reporter will get off, stay at a distance and make sure the spook
meter doesn’t fill up! Follow the guy outside and hijack a car to follow the
cab he gets into, still staying at a distance. When he reaches the pier he’ll
meet his contact. Park your car and shoot both people with your sniper rifle.
The last one will start running when you shoot the first one, but he’ll stay
on the pier and is an easy target.
[MISAPPROPRIATION]
After your unpleasant reunion with Tenpenny, you’ll have to drive quite a
distance to reach the indicated location on a mountain in the northwest. You
can drive in and fight the cops, which will be tough because of their numbers
but your target will also escape in a helicopter. If that’s the case you need
to get into the other helicopter and chase him. So it’s better to approach the
location carefully and walk around the complex to reach your target and shoot
him without alarming the cops. If you can’t manage to do that, you’ll have to
wait for the escaping helicopter to land somewhere so that you can land as
well and assassinate the guy after all. Make sure you don’t fly straight
across Area 69, or you’ll end up having five stars and being shot down. If you
manage to kill the guy on the spot you’ll still need to flee from the cops,
but the mission has already been accomplished. Just don’t forget to pick up
the target’s briefcase when you kill him, wherever that may be.
[HIGH NOON]
When the cut scenes are over, quickly get into the buggy prepared for you
close by. Follow Pulaski’s car and try to bump into and shoot at him, just do
everything necessary to make him leave his car. This can take a while, because
his car is pretty tough and he’ll travel a great distance if he doesn’t get
stuck in a village somewhere. Change vehicles when yours breaks down, try to
do it fast so that you wont lose Pulaski. When he gets out of his car all you
need to do is hit him with your own car.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[FIRST DATE]
This mission will start when you head over to the question mark on your map.
You’ll meet Catalina, Cesar’s cousin. Get into a car with her and a few dollar
signs will appear on the map. Drive to the nearest one and park your car
inside the red glow.
[TANKER COMMANDER]
After a failed robbery you need to get into the truck and read the on screen
instructions. Now that you know how to connect the truck to the large gas tank
on wheels, do that and head to the indicated position on your map. Ignore your
pursuers, just take the fastest route to your destination and make sure you
don’t damage your car too much or disconnect it. Park the truck including the
load inside the red marker on the terrain.
[FIRST BASE]
As soon as you enter the red glow near Catalina’s mountain cabin you’ll get to
see a pretty long cut scene. Afterwards the three remaining dollar signs will
appear on your map again, drive to the middle one into a town called
Montgomery and park your car inside the red glow.
[AGAINST ALL ODDS]
Enter the Inside Track building and wait for Catalina to finish. Throw a
package at the red door with the circle button, switch to the detonator in
your weapon inventory and blow up the door after taking some distance. In the
room you can now enter is a safe, blow it open using the same method as
before. You’ll have a four star wanted level when you get outside with the
loot and the police is already on your tail. Race to the nearest Pay ‘N’ Spray
which is also indicated on your small radar for now, but watch out for police
cars coming down the road you’re following. When you’ve been to the Pay ‘N’
Spray, calmly driver to Catalina’s mountain cabin and drop her off there.
[GONE COURTING]
There are two dollar signs left after finishing the last mission with
Catalina, so after another interesting scene they will appear on the map again
and you can choose one. The mission below is the one that goes with the left
dollar sign on your map.
[LOCAL LIQUOR STORE]
When you park your car inside the red glow you will see some strange people
rob the same store. They’ll escape on quads and Catalina manages to get you
one. Get on it with her and chase them down while staying close so that
Catalina can shoot at them. Sometimes the group will split up, choose who to
follow, they’ll end up back together later on. After traveling a large
distance you have to jump across a bridge, this is also a Unique Jump. When
you kill a guy just keep following the rest, start collecting the briefcases
they drop after taking them all out. As soon as you get all three briefcases
you can deliver Catalina back to her mountain cabin.
[MADE IN HEAVEN]
Before you can start the last mission connected to a dollar sign you have to
drop by Catalina again and survive one of her aggressive outbursts. Get into
the car and park it inside that red glow indicated by the dollar sign.
[SMALL TOWN BANK]
When you regain control in this mission you have to make sure those people
keep their hands up. You can do this by cycling through targets using L2 en
R2. Try to prevent them from lowering their hands as long as possible. When
that happens, which is very likely, the alarm will go off. You’ll see a cut
scene and after that you have to demolish all three cash machines. Follow
Catalina outside after doing so and help her take out all the officers. When
you get close to the street, two cops on motorcycles will come at you, shoot
