Supply & Demand

You must reach the drug courier’s yacht before the other dealers get there first and steal your deal. During the first half of the mission, Lance shoots nearby boats as you pilot the boat toward the drug dealer’s yacht (you switch roles later).

Follow the blip on the radar, but don’t take the slower right-hand direction under the bridge. Instead, wrap around to the other side and take the left-hand path; if you’ve avoided collisions and slowdowns, you’ll pop out in front of the yacht and win the drug shipment.

Lance now takes the helm, freeing your hands for more important tasks like shooting angry drug dealers. Fire short, controlled bursts with the Ruger to eliminate the enemy boat pilots. Individual boats can be shot and destroyed, but it’s too time-consuming.

After wiping up some enemy boats, you pass by a dock teeming with angry, gun-toting dealers. Try to peg them as they pass, or hit one of the several red barrels.

A small helicopter joins the fray. If you can target the shooter hanging out of the chopper door, blast him with the Ruger. Otherwise, chip away at the chopper until it plummets into the ocean. You earn a whopping $10,000 reward for completing this mission.

Death Row

Before you begin this mission by entering the Malibu, park a fast car out front for easy access. This is one monster mission, and every second counts. Enter the Malibu and talk to Kent Paul, who tells you that Diaz is about to kill Lance at the Junkyard. Now get going!

Make a right out of the Malibu and accelerate. Lance’s life meter appears at the top of the screen: If it bottoms out before you save him, you’ll lose the mission. Powerslide around the next right turn, max out your speed, and then head for the Junkyard.

Lance inches closer to death with every second, so keep moving. As you delve further into the Junkyard, Diaz’s boys pop out from all sides (including behind you). Don’t fumble with sniper rifles or targeted Ruger blasts, just stick to the auto-aiming shotgun and MP5 to save time.
