Master all the Rampages in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories! This guide covers locations, strategies, and tips for completing every challenge.
Alright, let's dive into some of the tougher challenges Vice City Stories throws at you: the Rampages. These are basically timed challenges where you need to take out a certain number of enemies using a specific weapon. They can be tricky, but with the right approach, you'll be racking up those kills in no time. We'll cover two specific Rampages here, one involving golf clubs and sharks, and another with SMGs on a rooftop.
- 1[LGC-R25] Kill 10 Sharks (Golf Club)
Where: You'll find this Rampage under the bridge connecting the Leaf Links Golf Club to Vice Point. The map coordinates are D-5.
What: You need to take out 10 Sharks using only a golf club. These guys are unarmed but can still rough you up.
What to do: The best strategy here is to lock onto one Shark and beat it down until it's on the ground. Keep the lock-on active even after it's dead. Then, use a power swing. This powerful move can knock down and kill other nearby Sharks, and crucially, it keeps the remaining ones from attacking you while you're busy.
Why this way: This method minimizes the damage you take, making it much easier to complete the Rampage without needing health pickups.
- 2[WSB-R26] Eradicate 30 Sharks (SMG)
Where: This one's on the roof of a beige and teal building located at map coordinates E-5 in Washington Beach. To get there, head south from the intersection at the southeast corner of the Washington Beach Police Station. Stop at the next three-way intersection, and you'll see the building on the northeast corner. There are stairs on the east side to reach the roof.
What: You've got an SMG and need to eliminate 30 Sharks. How you approach this depends heavily on which console you're playing on.
What to do (PS2 Version):
- You can't effectively shoot from the roof corner in this version.
- 3Head down to ground level and run east towards the big grassy area between the main road and the beach.
- 4Stand in the middle, turn around, and lock onto the Sharks as they spawn on the sidewalk.
- 5Use [L2] and [R2] to quickly switch targets as you kill them.
- 6Staying at this distance should make it harder for them to hit you.
- 7The Sharks here are armed with Mac-10s, making it tougher.
- 8Jump onto the ledge at the northwest corner of the roof.
- 9From this spot, you can target the Sharks while taking less damage.
- 10This vantage point is key because it allows you to get the kills without having to go down to street level, which is pretty dangerous when they're firing at you in a big group.
- 11[WSB-R27] Terminate 30 Sharks (Mini-Gun)
Where: This Rampage is located in the bushes just west of the Washington Beach Apartments entrance, near a Fidl Store. The map coordinates are F-5.
What: You'll have a Mini-Gun and need to take out 30 Sharks. (Note: The source text cuts off here, so details on strategy are missing for this specific Rampage.)
- For the Golf Club Rampage, don't be afraid to use that power swing. It's your best friend for crowd control and defense.
- When dealing with the SMG Rampage on PS2, keep moving slightly if you find yourself taking too much damage. The goal is to stay just out of their effective range.
- On PSP for the SMG Rampage, be patient. Wait for clear shots and don't rush out from your cover unless absolutely necessary.
- Always check your map for enemy locations if the game allows it during the Rampage.
