5.0 Asset Missions
These aren't listed in any particular order, it's just the order I
remembered them in.
**************************************************************************
5.1 Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory
Costs: $20,000 Daily Revenue: $3,000 Last Owner:Some Crazy Lady
Note, Don't EVER save your go here, OK? It sometimes screws it up.
Perhaps it's the crazy lady....
I Distribution
A Crazy lady calls Tommy a child and keeps mentioning how she hates
children. Tommy asks her the obvious question of "Why do you run an Ice Cream
Factory if you hate kids so much?" To which she calls Tommy stupid and points
out it's a front. So, go out and deliver 50 people their "Ice Cream" but what
your delivering is white powder of a different kind. Every four
"Ice Creams" you sell, you get a wanted level, so try to stay around Pay 'N'
Sprays. Getting 50 may take a while, but it's easier than some of the other
Assets.
***************************************************************************
5.2 Print Works
Costs: $70,000 Daily Revenue:$8,000 Last Owner:Mr Kelly
I Spilling the Beans
Tommy arrives at the printworks, which he is proud to own as his father
used to do something similar. Mr. Kelly asks Tommy what they should print,
and Tommy suggests a newspaper or magazine or something. Mr. Kelly suggests
that they print money, which he has been doing on a small-scale basis, but
he needs the right plates. Mr Kelly doesn't know where to find the prints,
but Tommy has an idea of who knows. Head to the Malibu club and have a word
with Kent Paul who tells you it's on a ship. Head to the ship but be careful,
it's crawling with DBP Security guys so try to snipe as many of them as you
can before heading onto the boat. Make your way up all the flights of stairs,
and use your Colt Python on all the security guys that try to stop you, then
go into the pink marker and interrogate the guy who will tell you what you
need to know. The boat is even more filled with DBP guys, so shoot your way
out. You will have at least 2 wanted stars, and maybe more because of all
the DBP guys you shot. Head for the Pay 'N' Spray first, then go back to the
Printworks
II Hit the Courier
The Courier will be landing with the plates at viceport in her helicopter.
Wait for the helicopter to land and start sniping all the women with guns.
Some of them, including the courier may try to get away in cars, so just
blow them up however you see fit, grab the plate and head back to Mr. Kelly
at the Printworks.
**************************************************************************
5.3 Kaufman Cabs
Costs $40,000 Daily Revenue $5,000 Last Owner:It looks like there have
been several gangs owning it.
I V.I.P
There's a V.I.P Leaving his house on Starfish Island in one minutes time.
Get there as fast as you can, and just as he is about to get in your cab,
another taxi from another company comes along and steals your fare!
Drive-by him until the taxi starts smoldering with black smoke, no fire
is neccessary or wanted just yet. The taxi will then try to smash into you
all the way there, but as he already has black smoke, you can drive-by
him or let him smash into stuff and he will catch fire, and you can enjoy
a leisurely drive to the airport
II Friendly Rivalry
VC Cabs are stealing your fares all over the city! time for a bit of
"Friendly Rivalry" methinks. Find the taxis on your radar, hunt them
down and drive-by em.An MP5 is what you really need for this mission.
III Cabmageddon
If you don't have an MP5, Which you should do since I told you to
get one for the last mission, GET ONE NOW!!!!! Anyway, Mercedes has
apparently phoned Kaufman Cabs and specially requested Cab No. 13,
and guess what, you drive that cab. Then, go and meet Mercedes, but
hold on a minute! a whole LOAD of taxis just came from nowhere,
intent on killing you! just drive around in a circle, drive-bying
the opposite side. When one taxi catches fire, it's curtains for the
whole lot as that will set off a chain reaction. Next, the Taxis leader
shows up in a Zebra Cab, determined to destroy Kaufman Cabs "Guardian
Angel" Just drive-by him, or just climb onto your cab and snipe his head
through the window, and that way you get to keep his cab, even though it
appears at Kaufman Cabs sometimes from now on anyway.
**************************************************************************
5.4 The Malibu
Costs $120,000 Daily Revenue $10,000 Last Owner:Unknown, but Kent
Paul spends waaaay too much time there
I No Escape?
Tommy wants to do a Bank Job. Ken knows of an expert Safe-Cracker, called
Cam Jones. Unfortunately, Cam is currently in one of the cells at VCPD HQ.
Taking a helicopter here will help you in the long run. Charge into the
cop station with your Colt Python Blazing, or head to the locker room and
change into the cop uniform, it depends if you like being subtle or if you
like shootouts. Head to the end of the main corridor, and go right, up the
stairs, The Key Card needed to bust Cam out should be in this office,
killing any cops in here if you wanna play shooter, then go back down the
stairs, into the room on the right and down the stairs into the cells. Let
Cam out and bust out of the Cop Station,all guns blazing, then get into your
chopper and fly away, and then deliver him.
II The Shootist
Tommy decides they need someone who can shoot guns, and Cam knows of
someone called Phil Cassidy who fits that description, who usually hangs out
at Ammunation, Downtown. He will join you but only if you can prove that
you're a good shooter. You will need to go to the shooting range, he gives
you a gun and ammo. You have to get 60 points. In the first section, you
have to destroy 5 sections on each target, and if the target is far away,
you get 3 points, medium distance, you get two points, and if it is close
up you get one point, the round will end if you run out of time or ammo.
This round is fairly easy. The next two rounds are identical to each other,
but they occur in different places. This time targets are only made up of
one section, but they often hide behind buildings. After the 3rd round(as
mentioned, the second and third rounds are identical, but occur in different
locations) Phil will decidewhether or not to join you, depending on whether
or not you beat 60 points.
III The Driver
Tommy then says they need a driver. Phil knows of one called Hillary
King but he will only help you if you beat him. Argh, this is one nasty
mission, you have to beat a Sabre Turbo in a race when you are in a
Sentinel. That is just plain unfair, so there are 3 options
1) Park a nice car, like a Banshee, Cheetah or Infernus quite a bit
down the road, so it doesn't disappear, and get into it when you pass,
and own him.
2) TRY to race him, but you don't really stand a chance unless you can get
a Cop Car to smash into him and knock him out of your way
3) Enter the following cheats before you start the Mission:Slow down
gameplay twice, Better handling. When on the starting grid use the increase
cars top speed. But I only reccomend cheating as a LAST RESORT.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:SpAzMaTic
a GOOD way to win the race is to turn on dodo cars. While he is speeding
and flying all over You can just slowly get all the check points with a
100% chance of winning!!!!
IV The Job
Heh, this is a fun mission
All 4 guys get into a taxi and you have to drive to the bank, upon
doing so everyone gets out and puts on Bank Job outfits. Hilary is told
to cruise around the block. The other 3 storm the bank, and hold everyone
up. Phil is left to maintain crowd conrol, while Tommy and Cam go
upstairs to the safe. There are a few machine-gun toting security guards,
so take them out with either your Colt Python or Spas Shotgun. When you
get to the safe, Cam says he needs the manager, so go find him. He's in
his office, cowering behind the desk. You can also look at the security
cameras, which is cool as you can see Phill marching up and down
threatening everyone, and you can also see a dead security guard but that
depends on where he was when you shot him. Anyway, take the manager to Cam.
Next, you are told to check on Phil, which means that something is up,
obviously. Go downstairs to learn that someone has triggered the alarm. I
shot all the people in here, but the R1 auto-aim feature doesn't work on
these people for some reason. Anyway, go to the Pink Marker to Trigger the
SWAT Counter-Attack. Yes, I know in some people's opinions that isn't a good
thing but you need to do it anyway. Get your SPAS or Preferably your Colt
Python and get ready. The SWAT teams kick the ceiling vents in, and unless
I was hallucinating, they also drop nerve gas in, but it doesn't seem to
hurt your health. Anyway, SWAT Team members will enter the bank through
these holes on ropes, so shoot them before they even hit the ground. Then,
it's time to go. Everyone starts wondering where Hilary is, and then he
turns up and says he'll cover you, but he gets shot. Kill the awaiting SWAT
teams in revenge and go as fast as you can either to a Pay 'N' Spray or to
your destination.
USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES
From:Marco Spurk
Just put a fast, 4 doored car on the left side of the bank (just in advance
from where you get your bankjob outfit. Then, after the SWAT kill Hillary
just kill the 4 or 5 remaing SWAT team members and then run to the second
car - its very easy because new SWAT teams arrive in front of the bank
and not on the side where your second car is waiting!
**************************************************************************
5.5 The Pole Position Club
Costs $30,000 Daily Revenue: $4,000 Previous Owner:Unknown
Go into a back room, someone will dance for you, wait about 5-6 minutes
then exit.That's it!
**************************************************************************
5.6 The Boat Yard
Costs $10,000 Daily Revenue: $2,000 Previous Owners:Probably the two
stoned guys.
I Checkpoint Charlie
Take either Squallo II or the Cuban Jetmax and complete a series of
checkpoints, rather like Stunboat Challenge for the Cubans. Use
whichever boat you want, and complete the course as fast as you can.
The only real problem is the three consecutive jumps over the docks, just
get enough of a run up to get to the first one, then just keep going and
don't stop. If you get beached, or miss the jump and smack into a boat,
you might as well just give up now.If you clip the docks you might just
complete the level, if you are lucky.I did all 3 jumps cleanly, but only
managed to finish with one second to spare!

5.8 Interglobal Film Studios
Costs $60,000 Daily Revenue $7,000 Previous Owner:Steve Scott.
I Recruitment Drive
Tommy comes into the studio and insults everything, and then decides
to get some new recruits for Steve Scotts Porn film. Your first target is
Candy Suxxx, but her pimp and his gang have other ideas, you need to kill
them all, preferably with a Spas or Colt Python, then go hunt down the guy
in the car and kill him. Get a car and pick Candy up, then drive to the
Pizza Place to see your next target, Mercedes. Then, when you have Mercedes
take the two girls back to the Film Studio.
II Dildo Dodo
Tommy decides to take publicising the new film into his own hands, and takes
a Skimmer from an old indie film to drop leaflets around Vice This mission is
kinda hard, as flying planes isn't easy. Just take your time, ignore how much
fuel you have left and just fly. DO NOT Panic, even if you have low fuel,
panicking is the worst thing you could do. It doesn't even matter if you drop
the leaflets in the see. Just line yourself up with the target on your radar
and remember - if the blip is an upwards pointing arrow then it is above you,
if it is a square then it is level to you, and if it is a downwards pointing
arrow then it is below you.
III Martha's Mug Shot
Alex Shrub is supporting a new law to ban Porno Flicks, and Steve Doesn't
like this. he thinks that Candy is meeting up with him so you have to follow
her Limo in a Helicopter. If you can see them doing anything they shouldn't,
then you should take picture of it so that he can be blackmailed into
changing his mind. Follow the Limo in the Sparrow, and land next to the big
building opposite it, and run up the stairs, all the way to the top. Next,
get the Camera and zoom in, you will also hear something really funny: Shrub
wants Candy to call him Martha! anyway, take a few pics, it doesn't matter
what the two of them are doing, I wasn't really bothered to hang around to
wait to see what happened, I just took 3 quick pictures. The FBI will be
waiting for you on each floor of this building, so just Colt Python or Spas
Shotgun your way out, and then take off in the Sparrow before any ground
forces can get to you, and fly back to the Studio. When I was just
approaching the studio(I was over Prawn Island) Someone started shooting
at my Sparrow with an Assault Rifle, so be careful of that also.
IV G-Spotlight
Tommy decides the film needs more publicity, so he will set the spotlights
to show an interesting image. But in order to get there he has to take a
bike and jump from roof to roof. Frankly, this is too hard to be done on
a bike, so continue jumping from roof to roof as the early jumps are easy.
I discovered this when I didn't make a jump, well no, Tommy made the jump
alright, my bike didn't. It was near Hyman Condo and I knew there was a
helicopter on the roof so I headed for that to see if using it would work,
which it did! So do jump to jump till you get fairly near to Hyman Condo
and then just get in the Maverick and fly from building to building, landing
in each marker. Then, land next to the spotlight and turn it on, and Hey
Presto! Mission Complete.
