Bait

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the three death squads in Cochrane Dam, Pike Creek, and Cedar Grove. A red dot will appear on the radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) (your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) with nearby blips and threats marked) when you drive near them, indicating they are following you.
  2. 2
    Bring each squad to the Yakuza ambush in Pike Creek, marked by a yellow dot.
  3. 3
    Warning: Do not get too far ahead of the squad, or you will fail the mission. Do not kill the squad before reaching the ambush, or you will fail.
  4. 4
    Once a squad reaches the ambush, use the nearby ramp to escape and let the Yakuza eliminate them.
  5. 5
    If using a bullet-proof Patriot, you can drive-by or run over any squads that approach and collect any dropped weapons.
  6. 6
    Finish off all three death squads to complete the mission.
Tips
  • The mission implies that using a Rhino is not advisable due to the risk of failing if you kill the squad prematurely.

Espresso-2-Go

Walkthrough

    Destroy the nine Espresso-2-Go stands located across Staunton Island, Portland, and Shoreside Vale.
  2. 2
    Staunton Island locations:

    One near Liberty Cathedral in Bedford Point.
  5. 5
    One across the street from the 20thC. Building in Bedford Point.

    Shoreside Vale locations:
    • Near the subway entrance of Francis International Airport.
  10. 10
    In front of the Pike Creek hospital.
  11. 11
    To travel between islands, use the Chinatown subways (if not using a Rhino) or the tunnels in Harwood (if using a Rhino). Warning: Do not arrive at Wichita.
  12. 12
    After destroying all nine stands, the mission will be complete.
Tips
  • The individuals at these stands are armed, and the St. Mark’s Mafia can be particularly dangerous.
  • If using a Rhino, you can fire the cannon backward for a speed boost.
  • Rockets or Grenades can be used on the stands, but may take more time than other methods.

S.A.M.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You need to destroy a Dodo plane.
  2. 2
    Rhino Strategy:
    • Drive to the Airport, using the Lift Bridge and firing the cannon backward for a speed boost.
  3. 3
    At the northern end of the southbound runway, destroy the groups of Colombians and their Cruisers by running into them.
  4. 4
    Position yourself halfway down the runway.
  5. 5
    Exit the Rhino and use the Rocket Launcher to shoot the Dodo as it approaches or flies over the runway.
  6. 6
    After the plane explodes and your wanted level (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you) (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you) reaches four stars, collect the eight packages.
  7. 7
    Return to your Rhino and go back to the construction site.
  8. 8
    Fast Car/Bullet-Proof Patriot Strategy:
    • Drive to Francis International Airport.
  9. 9
    Use the Rocket Launcher from a distance on the Colombians' cars near the north end of the south runway.
  10. 10
    Use the Sniper Rifle to eliminate any survivors, or run them over with the Patriot.
  11. 11
    Wait for the Dodo to get on or over the runway and destroy it with the Rocket Launcher.
  12. 12
    After the plane explodes and your wanted level reaches four stars, collect the eight packages.
  13. 13
    To return to the construction site, you can either take the bridge back, risking encounters with police, or take a boat at the end of the runway east to Staunton Island and drive back from there.
Tips
  • The mission provides a Rocket Launcher for the standard method, but other weapons can also be effective.
  • You do not need to reach the marker buoy near Francis International; you only need to shoot down the Dodo.
  • Using boats is an option for destroying the Dodo, but may be less convenient.

Ransom

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After returning to the mission starting point, you will find Asuka and Miguel dead, and Maria missing.

    You need to raise $500,000 to proceed to the next mission.
Tips
  • You should already have most of the required $500,000 from previous missions and activities.
