I'm on the Diaz mission where you have to race the boat to get to a pickup first - having big problems getting back...

I've discovered the helicopters - been cruising around in the police chopper, great fun!
 
Police Chopper? How'd you get that! I only have the Maverick at the Hyman Condos...

Robin, who are you doing the mission for?
 
Oh yeh, Robin, use that powerful Uzi that the dudes down at the Rub-Out mission use. They're better than the submachines and the assualts only because of the auto-targeting. Three shots and they're gone.
 
finished the protect diaz mission, done a few more and now im stuck on the same mission vat is but my problem is getting there before the others do.

man i love the 6 shooter, one shot and the suckas are eating the footpath :lol:
 
I'm stuck on that damn Death Row mission. I'm just mucking around doing burnouts and wheelies and 'R3' missions. Oh, an why can't I buy guns from the ammunation in Downtown??, the one by the Condos. Two snipers, a Shotgun, a Revolver and a Uzi, but I can't buy them. I have over $100,000, maybe I need to complete a certain mission. Damn.
 
I've read that if you cheat the game doesnt allow you to get a perfect 100%, it stays at something like 98 or 99%. I'll probably go through the game normally and do a restart using cheats.

just finished it. concentrate all fire on the boats, not the shooters or the pilots. i got back with just under half boat health.
 
I haven't done cheats...and i'm ahead of you all! :lol: I did that boat mission first time (race to the big cruiser than get back). Now just wait until you do rub-out, you'll have fun. I finished that with 3/4 boat health left.

I'm further than Cobraboy too! :P To do that just use the Uzi'
s with auto-targeting and target - blast everyone there. On the way back use the Admiral and just blast through the roadblock, then swerve in and out of traffic to make the Comet's crash. If anyone needs help just PM me. I'm now collecting some hidden packages, i have 45 now! :)

Got it - it was the guys standing on the pier that were killing me - I got a good series of shots in at them and got through it.

I'm not using cheats either - I've been trying to avoid threads on Vice City so I can go in to the missions completely cold. I'm doing it completely honestly - if I get busted or wasted, no going back to the old save game.

I got through Death Row last night - good mission, that - haven't done the follow up mission, just got Lance to hospital

next mission is to kill diaz, bit tough, took me a few goes to get it but once you kill him you get his mansion. when people know that diaz is dead they dont pay for protection so you have to do a timed mission in the vice point mall and break windows. its bloody hard!

Not that hard, as long as you start by killing the body guards outside with the rifle. But once you're inside, you can just use the Uzi that they carry. Kill a guy, hten take his ammo. You don't even have to walk into a room, just walk into the doorway and aim and shoot. Diaz doesn't take too many shots to kill.

Now that mission, is just anal. I tried 3 times until i got my friend to do it for me. :embarrassed:
 
Hey, use the uzi's that you get from Rub-Out (I'm assuming you did collect them ;)) and then just smash the galss with that. Then run like crazy shooting all the other glasses. I barely did it :) I have bought a few places and finished Haitans, have to do Love-Fists though now! :|
 
Well, got my first couple of businesses now - the strip club (yes, had the private dance) and the boat shed. Rub Out was a great mission - I love the two part missions in GTA Vice, they drive the story and the missions much better.
 
ive done all the cuban missions, all the haitian missions and the verceti missions. im now stuck on the nightclub mission where you have to race the guy in the turbo sabre. its friggen hard because all you get is a sentinel :mad:.
 
I had thought about doing that but I didnt for some reason. I beat him just by plain racing him. Kinda strange that I didnt cheat and put him into a wall or something. :lol:
