Master the Patriot Playground mission in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition. Learn how to collect all 15 checkpoints with this expert walkthrough.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the '4x4 Offroad' mission, also known as Patriot Playground. Don't let the name fool you, it's all about collecting checkpoints in a Patriot vehicle. You'll need to hit fifteen checkpoints in total, and the clock is ticking! After grabbing the first one, you get twenty seconds to reach the next. Each subsequent checkpoint you snag adds another twenty seconds to your timer, so keep moving!

    You'll start behind the SupaSave. Head up the stairs to kick things off.

    Veer right and duck under the El-Train tracks to grab your first checkpoint.

    Make your way to the beach and snag the checkpoint on the rocky area before you hit the sand.

    Grab the one right on the beach.
  5. 5
    Drive up the hill behind the apartments; there's a checkpoint waiting on the edge.

    Head back to the beach and go left to find another checkpoint near the water's edge.

Tips
  • Keep an eye on that timer! It's easy to get caught up exploring and run out of time.
  • The Patriot handles pretty well, but don't be afraid to use the handbrake for sharper turns if you need to.
  • If you miss a checkpoint, don't panic. Just try to get back on track as quickly as possible. Sometimes the timer gives you enough wiggle room.
