Follow our expert guide to ace 'The Getaway' mission in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition. Learn how to pick up Joey's friends, lose the cops, and get paid.
Alright, this mission, 'The Getaway,' is pretty straightforward once you know the drill. It's all about picking up some of Joey's buddies and getting them to safety. You'll be looking at a cool $10,000 just for finishing it, and if you manage to get all three guys back to their safehouse without any trouble, you can bag up to $30,000. Not bad for a few minutes of driving!
- 1First things first, after you've dealt with that 'Dead Skunk in the Trunk' business, you need to head back to Joey's garage. Make sure you get there between 06:00 and 14:00, or Joey won't be in the mood to give you this job. Once you chat with him, he'll ask you to help out his pals who are planning a bank robbery.
- 2As soon as you're out of the garage, you'll need to find yourself a four-seater car. Any car will do, but something a bit sturdy might make the next part easier. Then, drive over to the Panettiere bakery in Saint Mark's. Once you arrive, give the Left Stick a press to use your horn. This lets Joey's friends know you're here to pick them up.
- 3After they've all piled into your car, it's time to head to the Bank of Liberty. The game will put a waypoint on your map, leading you straight to Chinatown. Just hang tight in the car while your passengers do their thing inside the bank.
- 4Once they're back in the car, your next stop is the Pay 'n' Spray in the Red Light District. This is crucial for ditching the wanted level the bank job will inevitably attract. Get in, get sprayed, and get clean.
- 5Finally, with the heat off, you just need to drive the guys back to the safehouse where you originally picked them up. Do this, and you'll have successfully completed 'The Getaway' mission.
- Make sure you have a decent four-door car before you head to the bakery. It makes fitting everyone in much easier.
- Don't dawdle too much after picking up the friends. The sooner you get to the Pay 'n' Spray, the less chance you have of getting into trouble with the cops.
- The Pay 'n' Spray is your best friend for losing wanted levels. Use it wisely!
$10,000 for completion, up to $30,000 if all three friends are returned to the safehouse.
