Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the Part 21 mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, including objectives, rewards, and tips for success.
Walkthrough
- 1After a brief chat with Jerry Martinez, he gives Vic a pager and use of his motorcycle, initiating the mission "Soldier".
- 2Head to the V.I.P. dock near Escobar International Airport. (Optional: Before going to the dock, you can enter the Main Terminal building and find Body Armor at Gate 9-14 on the upper level.)
- 3Upon reaching the dock, a cutscene plays where Vic receives the package and a message for Martinez.
- 4Vic is ambushed and must defend the boat from attackers.
- 5The boat becomes too damaged, and Vic must abandon ship.
- 6After jumping from the boat, regain control and swim back to shore, ignoring the attackers.
- 7Follow the instructions to return to your Barracks.
- 8Upon reaching the Barracks, the mission will be successfully completed.
Tips
- The Barracks at Fort Baxter Air Base serves as your Safehouse where you can save your game.
- Near the Barracks, there is a Pistol Weapon Icon for obtaining Pistol ammo.
- A Health Icon is located to the east of the Barracks, and a Patriot is available to the northwest for exploring the city.
- As you progress, you will gain three additional Safehouses.
- You can obtain an Assault Rifle and ammo by attacking fellow soldiers on base from behind (neckbreak them).
- Consider completing off-story activities like the Ambulance Mission (for Infinite Run) and shooting Red Balloons (to generate Weapon Icons at Safehouses) before proceeding with main story missions like "Cleaning House".
- The in-game map in "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" lacks detail, so exploring each region to identify landmarks is crucial for locating items, Rampages, and Unique Stunt Jumps.
- Landmark names may be straightforward, referenced from official guides, made up for navigation, or borrowed from "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".
- The Fort Baxter Safehouse is located at Fort Baxter and is marked as (E-1) on the map. It's a basic save point with some early-game Weapon Icons.
- From the Safehouse, exit through the main gate, turn right, and follow the road south to enter a tunnel.
- After exiting the tunnel, a large building to your right is the EIA Main Terminal Building, located centrally at Escobar International Airport and marked as (F-[1, 2]).
- Just past the terminal, turn right into the Airport grounds entrance and proceed west along the south side of the terminal building.
- A large, lavender-colored tower west of the EIA Main Terminal Building is the EIA Control Tower, located centrally at Escobar International Airport and marked as (F-1).
