Some would complain that several side missions should be done before gangs would turn hostile. That's correct! Feel free to play as you like. But that's why the game gives you a free bulletproof Patriot, it is not fire and explosion proof but certainly very helpful for a bit of extra challenge. The game can be difficult but not impossible to beat. See ya in Vice City! ✌️😎 ☀️

I have recently restarted playing all GTA's and I am starting with this masterpiece, here I will include several tips and the many bonuses each mission offers so you can beat the game more easy. Feel free to write in the comments your own tips/tricks or chronological order upon beating the game 100%. Enjoy!

Welcome to Liberty City of 2001!

We play as Claude, a silent criminal that breaks a bank outside of Liberty City with his girlfriend Catalina who has a change of plan shooting us down and leaving us to die. After surviving our death and escaping Police custody with our new friend 8-Ball, we officialy start our revenge tour in the undergound criminal world of Liberty City.

Portland Island

Introduction: Give Me Liberty/Luigi's Girls (Unlocks free roaming, first safehouse, side missions, the ability to raise your wanted level to maximum four stars where the LCPD is joined by SWAT unites.)

Portland Island is the industrial district of Liberty City. With the main businesses runs through off-shore via Portland Harbour. The streets are filled with street robbers, prostitues, pimps, hobbos and constant gang activity, one of the joys to live here! Also there is this new drug called 'Spank' that has been heavily selled on the streets of Liberty.❤️

[L] Luigi Goterelli (He is the owner of Sex Club 7 and the lowest ranking member of the Leone Mafia. He mostly works in prostitution and has easy missions.)

- Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up

- Drive Misty For Me (Unlocks missions for Joey Leone and Payphone missions for Marty Chonks.)

- Pump-Action Pimp (Unlocks the Pistol at the Ammu-Nation.)

- The Fuzz Ball

[M] Marty Chonks (He is a small time crook that has money problems, but HEY! Who doesn't, right? He will give you easy driving missions that can be triggered at the Payphone in front of the Bitch'N Dog Food factory between 9AM-19PM.)

- The Crook

- The Thieves

- The Wife

- Her Lover

Portland Side Missions (It is the best to complete them as early as possible. As latter on the story Portland will become a hostile place.)

- Paramedic (Complete 12 levels in a row. At level 8 you will unlock an Health pick-up at your safehouse. After beating the final level you will get an Adrenaline pill and the Infinite Sprint ability.)

- Taxi Driver (Deliver 100 fares, it is not required to do it in a row, you can stop and return back where you left. The reward a modified red Cabbie called 'The Borgnine' at the Taxi depot up in Harwood.)

- Hidden Packages (There are 30 available but one quite dangerous to collect, will leave it for later. These small packages are scattered all across Liberty City. After collecting 30 packages you will get free weapons at your safehouse alongside 1000$ bonus for each package. You will unlock the Pistol, UZI and Grenades for now.)

- Firefighter (You must extinguish 20 burning vehicles around Portland. But to truly beat this mission you will have to repeat the process on the other two islands so for now... no rewards.)

- Vigilante (Stock up on some good amount of Uzi ammo. Empty your safehouse garage and go chase down fugitive criminals! You must kill 20 criminals per island in order to beat this mission. The reward after 20 kills you will unlock two police bribes at the safehouse. The empty garage trick is that when you are nearby Red Light District feel free to park the the Police cruiser inside your garage, get out and get back inside this will repair the cruiser completely.)

- Patriot Playground (It's one out of the four off-road checkpoint challenges.)

- Portland Rampages (Most likely you bumped into this small skull shaped icons. Well you have to kill a certain number of gang members or destroy a certain number of vehicles under a time limit. There are 20 scattered across Liberty, but for now you have access to just 6 of them. Always max out you armor and health while performing them.)

- RC-Toyz Vans: Diablo Destruction/Mafia Massacre (You have to destroy as many gang vehicles under 2 minutes. The more kills the higher is the reward.)

This is all for now and I think it's enough. 😂 The Unique Jumps and the Import/Export carlists will come after Libert City it's fully unlocked, so back to the story!

[J] Joey Leone (The son of Don Salvatore Leone who works as a mechanic at his garage in Trenton. He has problems with the small time Forelli brothers and sometimes with the Triads, but still struggles to find a good woman.)

- Mike Lips Last Lunch

- Farewell 'Chunky' Lee Chong (Unlocks the Pistol at the Ammu-Nation if you haven't completed 'Pump-Action Pimp' for Luigi.)

- Van Heist (Unlocks Payphone missions for El-Burro in Hepburn Heights. Also you will be messsaged that the Securicar garage in Portland Harbour wants more Securicars cracked, it is not required for the 100% but feel free to do it.)

- Cipriani's Chauffer (Unlocks missions for Toni Cipriani at his Momma's restaurant in St. Mark's. Also the UZI is available at the Ammu-Nation.)

- Dead Skunk in the Trunk

- The Getaway (It will be available between 9AM and 17PM. Use a fast four doored car like the Mafia Sentinel.)

[T] Toni Cipriani (He is the Leone's Caporegime. A tough guy who constantly has problems with the Triads and some Momma issues.)

- Taking out the Laundry

- The Pick-Up (After this mission the Triads will turn hostile, so Chinatown is no longer a safe place.)

- Salvatore's Called a Meeting (Unlocks missions for the Don himself. The one and only SALVATORE LEONE!)

[S] Salvatore Leone (The Don of the Leone Mafia, who suffers from paranoia after his troubled past in San Andreas and the many problems with his home country of Sicily. He has major issues with the rising Colombian Cartel.)

- Chaperone (After taking care of annoying Maria you will be texted that the Import/Export garage wants vehicles for exporting.)

[EB] El Burro (The leader of the small time gang of the Diablos who works in pornography and has obsession with adult magazines. 😅)

- Turismo (Use the Banshee from the Easy Credits Car showroom)

- I Scream, You Scream! (Instead blowing up the ice cream van, you can take it to the Import/Export garage. This will save you from finding it later on the streets because it's a super rare vehicle.)

- Trial By Fire (This is similar to a Rampage. Don't worry about the Triads, hostility is turned off during this mission. Altough if you haven't completed Toni's mission 'The Pick-Up' after this the Triads will turn hostile.)

- Big'N Veiny

[T] Toni Cipriani (It's time to finish the Triads in Liberty once and for all!)

- Triads and Tribulations

- Blow Fish (After the destruction of the Fish factory you can collect Hidden Package #31 without the hostile Triads lurking around.)

[S] Salvatore Leone (It's time to weaken the Colombians around Portland.)

- Cutting The Grass

- Bomb Da Base Act I & II (After we succesfully sinked the Colombian 'Spank' ship to the bottom of the ocean we will be informed that the Emergency Vehicle Crane wants vehicles for exporting, these as well will be covered for later.)

- Last Requests (Salvatore sends us for one final job before we can allcelebrate or... HE would celebrate. He sends us into a trap, but in the last minute Maria informs us that Salvatore offered us to the Cartel in order to make a deal! We also meet Asuka a friend of Maria that takes us to Staunton Island.)

And that wraps up the firs act of the game. Officialy we unlocked Staunton Island the commercial district of Liberty City. A radio message will inform us that the destroyed Callahan bridge is repaired. A small part of the Porter Tunnel has been opened and also a small part of the LC Subway system. We have a new safehouse and more goodies to dig out and don't forget our good friends from the LCPD can call aid from the FBI so the wanted level can go up to five stars. ❤️ Before we start running erands for our new contact go back to Portland and save a Mafia Sentinel and Diablos Stallion into your new safehouse, trust me it will come in handy later on.

Staunton Island

[A] Asuka Kasen (Asuka is the co-leader of the Japanese organization of Yakuza who control the district of Torrington. Her organization has issues with the Leones since 1998, she offers us work in exchange for us cutting our ties with the Mafia.)

- Sayonara Salvatore (IMO one of the most epic missions in the game. Cutting the ties with a gang that we started working for from the beginning. Killing Salvatore will set up the Mafia to turn hostile and these guys are no joke. They will start carrying Shotguns, two shots and BAM! You get WASTED! Try to avoid St. Mark's as much as possible from now on. Also King Courtney will send you a message that has some work to offer at the Payhone in Aspatria next Liberty Campus.)

- Under Surveillance (Time to end our vendetta with the Leones once and for all. The Ammu-Nation in Newport has Sniper Rifle ammo for sale go and stock up for this mission. After this Asuka's older brother and leader of the Yakuza Kenji will offer you some work at his Casino.)

- Paparazzi Purge

- Payday for Ray (Unlocks missions for Ray Machowski.)

The next mission for Asuka will be skipped a bit later so it's time to complete the Staunton Island related side missions, but first let's get back to Portland.

- Hidden Packages (There is one in the Chinatown subway stations restroom and one package on a pile of rocks in the bay, you can only get it via a boat, choose wichever you want but don't fall into the water! 😂 Now we can return back to Staunton for the other 34. By now you should have 67 out of 100 packages. There are two left on this island wich will be collected for later. The Shotgun, Body Armor and Molotov Cocktails are available at your safehouses.)

- Fire Fighter (Once again we need to extinguish 20 burning vehicles on this island as well. But the problem is the traffic... so use more the sirens this time, again no rewards.)

- Vigilante (Let's continue hunting down 20 more criminals on this island for two more extra Police bribes at our safehouses.)

- Staunton Island Rampages (There are a total of 7 but IMO sligthly easier than on Portland. Don't forget Armor and Health always maxed out!)

- A Ride in the Park/Multistorey Mayhem (Two more checkpoint challenges and certainly more annoying, especially the Landstalker one! 😅)

- RC-Toyz Vans: Casino Calamity

Now let's get back to the story and we will start running erands for both Kenji and King Courtney. Kenji has major issues with both the Yardies and the Colombian Cartel. Courtney is secretly working for the Colombians until his final mission where he betray us.

So it kinda makes sense to do both back to back.

[K] Kenji Kasen

- Kanbu-Bust Out

- Grand Theft Auto

[KC] King Courtney

- Bling-Bling Scramble (It's a checkpoint race so feel free to use any fast sports car.)

- Uzi Rider (After this mission the Diablos will turn hostile. Congratulations! All gangs on Portland hate you! 😂)

- Gangcar Round Up (Now it's time to deliver the Mafia Sentinel, Diablo Stallion that we have stashed in our garage. The Yakuza Stinger can be found at Asuka's condo or Kenji's Casino. Also save a Yardie Lobo after this mission.)

- Kingdome Come (After this mission the Yardies will turn hostile. So Newport is no longer a safe district, wich sucks because it's close to our safehouse.)

[K] Kenji Kasen

- Deal Steal (Grab the Yardie Lobo from the garage and break the deal between the Yardies and Colombians.)

- Shima (The Diablos in Hepburn Heights can swarm you up unless you kill the targets via a Drive-by.)

- Smackdown (A fast car and some UZI ammo should work.)

[R] Ray Machowski (He is a corrupted LCPD officer that has ties with the Yakuza and a very powerfull millionare.)

- Silence the Sneak (Use a Firetruck to block the garage and throw some grenades to kill Leon McAffrey inside-out.)

- Arms Shortage (Unlocks Phil's Army Surplus in Rockford and some pretty good heavy altilery. You should have enough cash to buy some decent amount of M-16 and RPG ammo, but don't exagerate!)

- Evidence Dash (Unlocks missions for Donald Love.)

- Gone Fishing (The M-16 should help Ray's partner sleep with fishes. 😂)

- Plaster Blaster (First Drive-by the Ambulance van. Once McAffrey has bailed out, quickly drive to your safehouse and use all the Police bribes to lower the wanted level. Then you can run over Leon to complete the mission.)

[A] Asuka Kasen

- Two-Faced Taner (No! I didn't forget about Asuka and now that we have some pretty cool altilery. We can complete this mission with one shot from the RPG without bothering us with the cops.)

[D] Donald Love (A powerful millionare that has interest in real-estate prices and off-shore merchandise.)

- Liberator (Drive to Fort Staunton and go the Colombian Cartel warehouse. The Old Oriental Gentleman is inside one of the garages. To avoid heavy damage use the Flamethrower to burn the Colombians but be carefull to not burn the target. After we rescue him, let's go back to the warehouse and collect Hidden Package #68 and save the Cartel Cruiser for the next mission.)

- Waka-Gashira Wipe Out (Nothing brings down real estate prices like a good old fashioned gang war! We must kill Kenji by using a Cartel Cruiser so the Yakuza can balme the Colombians for this decleration of war. Use the cruiser saved from the previous mission, after barely escaping the carpark. We officialy brought out an eternal War between Liberty City's two most powerful gangs.)

- A Drop in The Ocean (A small aircraft will drop several packages in the bay. After collecting all of them, we must deliver them back to Love Media. But the big problem is that we are chased by the FBI and these guys are crazy nuts and OP. Go to the closest Pay'N Spray to lower your wanted level and complete these mission.)

Congratulations! We have officially unlocked the last part of the city, Shoreside Vale. A beautifull suburban district, with a small industrial zone and the legendary Francis International Airport and Cochrane Dam. The layout altough is a nightmare, a freakin' MAZE! 😅 A radio message will inform us that the Shoreside lift bridge is functional, now we have access to a third safehouse, more goodies to uncover for the final time, unfortunately and if you thought the FBI where OP wait until the National Guard comes to play, trust me these guys are crazy powerful with their Rhino Tanks, Barracks and heavy usage of M-16's. Before we jump into the side activities let's finish a few story missions.

Shoreside Vale

[R] Ray Machowski

- Marked Man (The CIA has the Shoreside lift bridge under surveillance so it's kinda makes sense to do this mission first. Use a fast car like the Banshee and drive through the newly opened part of the Porter Tunnel that links Staunton with Shoresidw. After Ray departs for Miami he leaves us a key to his lock up, wich contains a Bullet Proof Patriot! Save it at all costs, it will come in handy for latter.)

[D] Donald Love

- Grand Theft Aero (The real package has been hidden on the same plane from the mission 'A drop in the Ocean' all along, but airport security has been striping it down. The Colombians have got their dirty hands on it and took it to Fort Staunton. After we elimante every Cartel goon in our way, you can use any weapon of your choice. We finally meet the one person we have been after all this time, Cataline. She escapes after betraying Miguel, but in the meantime Asuka arrives to declare war on every Colombian dog after the death of his brother and swores to bring down any plan of Catalina by interogating/torturing Miguel. After this Fort Staunton is controlled by both the Yakuza and Colombians.)

[A] Asuka Kasen

- Bait (After some interogations and some "pleasure" Asuka reveals us that Catalina fears our quest for revenge and set up Death Squads around Shoreside. We must lure three squads to Pike Creek where some Yakuza henchmen are "gladly" waiting for them. After this we will get a new contact known as D-Ice at the Payphone in Wichita Gardens.)

[D-I] D-Ice (Is the leader of the Red Jacks, a street gang that shares their turf of Wichita Gardens with their corrupted "Spanked" counterparts the Purple Nines. Both know toghether as the Southside Hoods.)

- Uzi Money (Use the BP Patriot and take down the Nines around your safehouse to avoid gangsters raming you down with their modified Rumpo XL's.)

- Toyminator (This is similar to the RC-Toyz Vans but we need to destroy Securicars.)

- Rigged to Blow (Use the Porter Tunnel to get faster to St. Mark's but be carrefull to not damage the Infernus to much otherwise it's over. Don't worry about the Mafia, hostiliy is turned off during this mission.)

- Bullion Run (Use a powerful car like the Cartel Cruiser parked next to the Payphone.)

- Rumble (After this mission the Purple Nines disappear from the streets and only Red Jacks control Wichita Gardens.)

Now that we have get a hang of the layouts of Shoreside Vale. It's time for the final part of the side missions in this game.

- Hidden Packages (One can be found in mid air so you will need to use the Shoreside lift bridge to reach it. Then we can go collect the rest 31 on the island. One is in the backyard of a red villa in Cedar Grove, you will need a Cartel Cruiser to get inside. After succesfully collecting all of them you will now have the Sniper, AK-47, M-16 and the RPG at your safehouse and an extra 1 million $ bonus.)

- Fire Fighter (Let's extinguish the final 20 burning vehicles. But the problem is the timer and layouts of the island. Don't bother, it is not required to do it in a row. Once you extinguished the final vehicle you will unlock the flamethrower at your safehouses.)

- Vigilante (The final 20 fugitives, but this time they will use some pretty powerful altilery so be carefull. The M-16 will be your friend, get out and shoot down the criminals so they don't have a chance to escape. Once donr, we get the final two extra Police bribes at our safehouses wich is the maximum of six.)

- Gripped! (The final off-road checkpoint challenge and certainly the hardest one that takes you around the hills off Cedar Grove! 😅)

- Shoreside Vale Rampages (The final 7 rampages. Two are notoriusly difficult. One you will have to burn down Colombians via Falmethrower. Grab a Cartel Cruiser, activate the Rampage and drive to the red villa, once inside start burning Colombians through the fence. Another one requires us to ran over Colombians, use the BP Patriot but don't forget to save it! After all Rampages are collected you will get an extra 1 Million $ bonus.)

- RC-Toyz Vans: Rumpo Rampage

- Import/Export Garage Portland Harbour (Now that the entire city is open for us, we can finally deliver every industrial required vehicle. After completing the list you have access to every one the exported vehicles inside the garage.)

- Emergency Vehicle Crane Portland Harbour (There are total of 7 vehicles required. But two of them don't have spawn locations and can be only obtained at higher wanted levels. The FBI Kuruma and the Rhino for both I will use the Portland safehouse as way to shield myself from Police officers on the street. Use the adrenaline pill to slow down time and kill agents/soldiers once outside of our desired vehicles, then run and lower down your wanted level. Now you can take them docks. Once all vehicles delivered you can access each of them of your choice.)

- Shoreside Vale Import/Export Garage (The final vehicle list that requires luxurious/sports cars and some Cabbies. Also there is one vehicle called the BF Injection that appears in front of Misty's block in Hepburn Heights between 20PM-00AM. It's the same vehicle that Joey Leone was working during cutscenes. After delivering the final required vehicle you have another garage of vehicles to choose from.)

- Unique Stunt Jumps (It's time relief some stress with some high risk jumps around Liberty. There are a total of 20 and after you complete all you will get an exrtra 1 millon $ bonus.)

Congratulations! You have completed every side missions that the game had to offer. Now we have a couple of story missions before we fully beat the game so... let's do it!

[D] Donald Love

- Escort Service (We must protect both the package and the Old Oriental Gentleman all the way to Pike Creek. Colombians will come after the convoy. Drive the BP Patriot and use some heavy altilery to clear the path from unwanted attention by the Cartel.)

- Decoy (We act as the bait once again. But this time against the LCPD. Use the empty garage from the mission 'Bullion Run' by D-Ice. It will shield you from street hostility and the Police Choppers.)

- Love's Disappearance

[A] Asuka Kasen (It is time to severly weaken Catalina's plans for 'Spank'.)

- Espresso-2-Go (We must destroy every Colombian coffe stand around Liberty. Drive the BP Patriot and use the RPG to smash to splinters!)

- S.A.M. (Drive to Francis Intl. Airport and clear up the place from every Colombian. Once the plane approaches blow it up with the RPG. Collect the drugs, lower your wanted level and get back to Fort Staunton.)

- Ransom (Well things didn't go as planed. While we were away. Catalina sent an ambush squad, they killed both Asuka and Miguel and kidnapped Maria. Now Catalina wants a ransom of 500k at her villa in Cedar Grove.)

So this bring us to...

[C] Catalina

- The Exchange (After fooling us once again. Catalina escapes with Maria, leaving us to deal with her henchmen without any weapons. After we cleared out the place, we have 6 minutes to arrive to the Cochrane Dam. We can go to our safehouse to restock or clear out the path from scratch. It is really up to you. After we blow the helicopter in wich Catalina was inside, we recouncil with Maria and finally everything is over.)

The final cutscene goes on with Claude and Maria leaving the place into the sunset.... or just Claude, after the screen turns black we hear a gunshot, possibly he killed Maria after all the trouble she caused or maybe not, who knows? 😂 Well that's all folks, unfortunately there is no additional reward for beating the game to its 100%, unlike the future releases wich I will also write them down here very soon. See you in Vice City! ✌️☀️

GTA VI is just around the corner, but I am very curious how you would rate the previous releases by difficulty.

- Firefighter (The final twenty burning vehicles and certainly the hardest one do to the layout of the island. Unlocks... the Flamethrower at you're Safehouses. 😅)

- Vigilante (The final twenty fugitives. Two more extra police bribes and the maximum amount. Six in total.)

- Rampages (The final seven.)

- Unique Stunt Jumps (Final eight.)

- RC Toyz Van: Rumpo Rampage

- Off-Road Checkpoint Challenge: Gripped!

- Import/Export Garage Portland Harbour

- Securicar Garage Portland Harbour

- Emergency Vehicle Crane Portland Harbour

And that's all folks for the side missions in this game. Let's get back to the final part of the story.

It was quite a journey. Frustrating, but fun at the same time. Unfortunately there is no extra reward by beating the game to the full 100%. You can now go on a war with a much more powerful Colombian Cartel. Visit our old pals the Leones, take on the LCPD, try to fly the Dodo if you are brave enough. But certainly Liberty City is all your's now!

P.S: See ya in Vice City! ☀️

It disgusts me how badly names like Drew McIntyre, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, The Wyatt Six and now Sheamus are treated. I don't want to include Sami Zayn who got buried deeply in a big pile of s**t!

The only s**t that the company is all about is Roman, Cody, CM Punk and slightly Seth Rollins, building future stars like Oba Femi, Trick Williams and forgetting about youngsters like Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Ilja Dragunov who are absolutely fumbled! 😅

No wonder everybody call this crap "The Ruthless Depression Era' it fits perfectly!

No wonder after twenty-one years of beeing a WWE fan I have become more interested in AEW!

Now that GTA VI is on the way. I will go through each GTA and reach 100% on all of them. Starting with the ONE that started it all.

Final Story Mission 'The Exchange' by Catalina.

I have a question.

King Courtney's missions are unlocked after 'Sayonara Salvatore' so technically, you should work for him before working for the Yakuza (Asuka/Kenji)?

Other thing that doesn't tie with the story that in his final mission 'Kingdome Come' you find a letter from Catalina who wants you dead and aftermath the Yardies turn hostile.

But Catalina doesn't know you are still alive until the mission 'Grand Theft Aero'. 🤔

It's a bit confusing but I would like you're opinion and the most logicall answer.

You can play the game as you wish and in whatever order you want. Just completing the story or go for the ultimate goal the 100%. Here is my own list with some tips added to help you enjoy the game to its max! 😁

​

Asuka Kasen (3)

1. Bait (Logically you should take out the Death Squads set by Catalina before you start hanging around the island. 😅)

​

Shoreside Vale

​

D-Ice (The final payphone missions can be found in Wichita Gardens.)

1. Uzi Money (The Bulletproof Patriot comes in handy and Drive-By the Hoods near your sadehouse. The Patriot it's bulletproof not damage proof! 😅)

2. Toyminator

3. Rigged to Blow (Don't worry about the Leones in St. Mark's, the hostility is turned off during this mission! Otherwise it would be impossible to complete it. 😅😂)

4. Bullion Run

5. Rumble

​

Final part of Side Missions. Let's Go!!!

1. Hidden Packages (One can be found in mid-air, use the Shoreside Lift Bridge and then go for the final thirty-one. Also there is one inside the court of the red villa in Cedar Groove. Use a Cartel Cruiser! 😎 Now the Sniper, AK-47, M-16 and the RPG will always spawn at your safehouses, wich will come handy for....)

2. Vigilante (Take out the final 20 fugitive criminals around Shoreside Vale. Use the heavy altelary from collecting the packages so you can take out the targets quickly! Now you have the maximum number of police bribes, six in total.)

3. Firefighter (Extinguish the final 20 burning vehicles around Shorside Vale. If you run out of time don't worry, as I mentioned. It is not necessary to complete it in a row! The final reward.... a Flamethrower...... 😅😂)

4. Final Seven Rampages in Shoreside Vale (There is one where you have to run over Colombians. Use the BP Patriot. For the one where you have to incinerate Colombians, take the Cartel Cruiser from Wichita Gardens, drive to Rampage's location, activate it and drive inside the Red Mansions courtyard in Cedar Groove where you find one of the Hidden Packages. Then start burning Cartel members through the walls, because fire can pass through the walls... logic. 😂 This way you will be protected from point-blank attacks on the streets. 😎😁)

5. Final Eight Unique Stunt Jumps

6. Acquiring The Dodo (Now you have access to all the vehicles from the list. 😁)

7. Acquiring The Rhino (IMO the best place to steal it, if you haven't delivered it after the mission 'Arms Shortage'. It is at your Portland safehouse, it's a small area, perfect to cover you from the Soldiers powerful M-16's. Use some heavy artelary. The Flamethrower, Molotovs are the only weapons that can destroy a Tank because it is not fireproof, another hint... use that useless Adrenaline Pill at your safehouse it is a life saver, trust me! After you succesfully delivered the Tank you have another collection of vehicles available to your choice. 😁)

8. Shoreside Vale Sub-Urban Import/Export Garage (The same drill like the previous two ones, majority you can find them around the Airport, a few around Cedar Groove, Staunton and Portland. One small hint, there is one vehicle called BF Injection. This is the same vehicle that Joey Leone was working during cutscenes. You can find it in the front of the building where you picked up Misty in Hepburn Heights after the mission 'Sayonara Salvatore' beetween 18PM until 5AM.)

9. The Final Off-Road Checkpoint Challenge: Gripped! (I don't know who created this mission, but seriously needs to be arrested! 😅)

10. Last but not least! I skipped these until this point because they are the most useless things to do!

The Four RC Toyz Van Missions (They are exactly the same thing like in the mission 'Toyminator'. But you have to blow up gang vehicles.)

- Rumpo Rampage: Destroy Southside Hood Vans.

- Casino Calamity: Destroy Yakuza Stingers.

- Diablo Destruction: Destroy Diabllos Stallions.

- Mafia Massacre: Destroy Leone Sentinels. Yes it's in St. Mark's but your good old BP Patriot can protect you! 😊

​

Congratulations! 😁 You have completed every Side Missions in the game. There a couple of story missions before you beat the game completely to it's full 100%. So let's get back to...

​

Donald Love (2)

1. Escort Service (BP Patriot and some heavy weaponry can save the day.)

2. Bait (Use the garage from the mission 'Bullion Run' to shield you from the police and their choppers!)

3. Love's Disappearance (The hardest mission in the game. 😅😂🤣)

​

Asuka Kasen (4)

1. Espresso-2-Go! (BP Patriot, RPG the most helpful equipments. The Leones will only carry Pistols and UZI's instead of Shotguns.)

2. S.A.M./Ransom (The RPG and the Sniper will help you alot. When you return back to the construction site, both Asuka and Miguel are killed. Maria is kidnapped and Catalina demands a ransom. This unlocks the final mission in the game.)

​

Catalina

1. The Exchange (We come a really long way, right? 😁But this is it, the moment to exact revenge on Catalina on betraying us in the first place. After you escape outside the Cartel mansion you have six minutes to reach Catalina's location at the Cochrane Dam. You can drive back to your safehouse and grab every weapon at your disposal or just go wreck some havoc from scratch. It is up to you! After you blow up the helicopter in wich Catalina is inside, it's finally over... as both Claude and Maria walk away in the sunset... or maybe just Claude. 🤔😂)

​

Congratulations! You have mastered GTA 3! I hope this list was usefull for everyone! I am curious what ideas, tips & tricks you got. See you in the sunny Vice City! ☀️ 🫶😎

For me certainly is when I am driving nice and cool and an idiot NPC bumps into me and sends me off the road. 😤 Last but not the least cop chases at level five and six. 💀
