These helicopters take turns carrying waves of French assassins to Cortez’s yacht—blast the shooters out of the chopper before they drop onto the upper deck. To destroy the choppers, keep up a steady stream of targeted Ruger fire. If you need health or Ruger ammo, head to the top deck to recharge.

The situation just went from bad to worse: The French have summoned a military-grade assault helicopter, and you must destroy it using a puny Ruger. Take potshots at the chopper when it zooms over the yacht, but take cover when those rotary cannons roar into life. Keep up a steady stream of Ruger fire, and the ’copter eventually explodes.

After you destroy the last of the ships blocking the yacht, Cortez gives you $5000, a tiny Speeder boat, and his eternal gratitude. The Love Fist missions soon become available, but first let’s finish off Diaz’s missions.

The Fastest Boat

Diaz wants you to swipe a boat at the Vice City boatyard and add it to his collection. Turn left out of Diaz’s mansion and head for the city boatyard. Make sure you have full armor and life meters, a shotgun or Uzi, and a sniper rifle.

Once you enter the section with the chain fences, groups of Ruger-toting guards open fire on you. Use your shotgun or Uzi to flatten any nearby foes, then switch to your sniper rifle and pick off the guards near the boat. Run along the warehouse and then turn left into the building.

The mechanics inside the structure drop melee weapons when killed. Hit the switch to drop the boat into the water and then pull out your Uzi or shotgun and run toward the boat. Guards rush you, so blow them away and head down the dock.

Tap Triangle to enter the boat. It’s a short ride from here to Diaz’s mansion, but you now sport a three-star Wanted Level. Dodge the police boats and proceed under the bridge toward the radar blip. Reaching Diaz’s with the boat earns you a sweet $4000.
