Jizzy
T-Bone Mendez
This is another relatively simple task; just chase down the motorcycles, get real close to their rear ends, then snatch the cocaine with your L1 button. The bikes will start chasing you as you pluck them of their sweets, but you should be able to lose them without a problem, and you’ve got plenty of time in which to maneuver. Take all the packages back to Jizzy when you’re done.
Mike Toreno
Mike, the badass brains behind the whole cocaine operation, has apparently been kidnapped by more bangers looking to score by taking a van of the coke. It’s up to you and T-Bone to track him down while he talks to you on his cellphone.
Luckily, whomever grabbed the van apparently enjoys joyriding immediately after they jack a truck full of blow, as you’ll have to track Toreno to the building site next to your garage, then down to the docks, then over to the airport before you catch up to them. If you get there with more than two minutes remaining on the clock, the van will be situated near the radar tower in the northeastern corner of the airport; after that point, it starts to move around. When you roll up, the gangsters will dump their rides and come gunning for you, so drive a distance away before getting out of your car and taking them down from range.
After you torch the van, you’ll have to get Mike and T-Bone back to the Pay N Spray to lose the cops. You can only do this in a car that can be painted, so avoid jacking a police car if you can avoid it. The easiest way to get to the spray shop is to take the turn onto the highway, then drive in the oncoming lane until you reach the section with the unfinished left wall. You can drop from there right onto the Pay N Spray ramp.
Wu Zi Mu
Mountain Cloud Boys
It looks like Wu Zi’s been having some trouble from the Vietnamese gangs, and shortly after you begin this mission, you’ll be caught up in the middle of it, as the Vietnamese ambush you and Wu Zi in an alleyway. You should be any stranger to fighting off hordes of enemies, so beat them back with your Uzi until you reach your car. At this point, you’ll have to let Wu Zi shoot away at the cars that chase you; you’ll need to stay close enough to let Wu Zi fire away, but keep enough distance to avoid getting blown away yourself when the other cars explode.
Ran Fa Li
An associate of Wu Zi’s requires a favor, and Wu, like any good puppetmaster, places the favor on you. You’ll need to retrieve a package from the underground parking lot at the airport and move it all the way back to the docks. Getting there is the easy part; you’ll have to deal with Danang assassins during the entirety of the trip back to the docks. The main trouble will come in the form of a pair of biker blasters; let them get alongside you, then try to ease them into a building or wall to shake them for a bit. Avoid the city streets during your trip; instead, just take the road along the coast. If you can make it to the docks, all you have to do is park the car in the red circle to end the mission.
Lure
Besides the long-ass ride out into the countryside, this is a pretty simple mission. It’s essentially a race, checkpoints and all, save that your opponents will be trying to shoot at you. You’ll be in a Ranger, and although you won’t be able to stave off the motorcyclists’ fire, you will have a bit of a speed advantage on declinations, so floor it and get to the gas station before you get too badly damaged.
Amphibious Assault
If you haven’t been training up your underwater breathing skills - and let’s be honest, you haven’t been - you’ll need to upgrade your lung capacity before you can take this mission. The easiest way to do this is to find a body of water, dive underneath and swim downwards for a bit, then let CJ float back to the surface. You won’t lose as much breath while CJ is motionless, allowing you to spend more time underwater per dive, thus letting you upgrade a bit more quickly. You’ll need to get three or four full lung capacity upgrades (meaning that it’ll pop up a message letting you know that you can breath underwater for a longer period of time) before you can actually go through with Wu Zi’s plan.
Said plan, obviously enough, involves a lot of swimming. Wu wants you to plant a bug on a boat in the harbor, but you’ll need to swim underneath the surface to avoid the Da Nang patrol boats. Getting past them, thankfully, isn’t too difficult; swim just underneath the surface until you run out of breath, then come back up for another lungful. The guards won’t shoot you when you surface, so long as you don’t move until you dive again. The boat has a ladder on the far side from the shore, so dive underneath it and jump onto the float there to get aboard.
Now, if you make a lot of noise, the guards will come running, so it’s worth your while to get stealth kills. You can use the knife near the ladder, if you wish, but it’s a better idea to just get through the garage and Jizzy missions until you get the Ice Cold Killa mission, in which you’ll be furnished with a silenced pistol. Use that to make headshots on the guards, then proceed to the boat’s cargo hold and plant your bug. All that stands between you and a completed mission at this point is a swim back to shore, so jump off the boat and get hoofing.
The Da Nang Thang
Get some body armor before you begin this mission! Trust us, it’ll come in handy.
You’ll start out here on a rail-shooter mission, but don’t fret if you’re bad at these, as you actually can’t win this one; the helicopter you’re in will get hit by an RPG, forcing CJ to sidle up the side of the freighter and start killing Da Nang boys the old-fashioned way. You can get some easy stealth kills as you move along, but eventually you’ll run across a couple of guards that’re facing your way, forcing you to get back to basic spray-n-pray mechanics. Hopefully you’ve upgraded your Machine Pistol skills to Hitman, as dual-wielding these TEC-9’s will come in really handy here.
Regardless, make your way back down the boat (don’t miss the health refill in one of the small passages), then drop down into the hold. More bastards here to kill, and keep an eye on the red mark on your radar; it pinpoints the location of the refugee’s main guard, who’ll open his assault by chucking a grenade at you. Run into his line of sight to trigger the attack, then run back out to avoid the blast before returning to drop him.
After you free the refugees, you’ll have to return up to the deck of the ship and move up to the bridge to kill the snakehead. He’ll force you to a katana duel, but he’s not too hard to take down, especially not if you’ve trained up in some martial arts. Begin by using the triangle button for a kick to stun him, then just wail on him until he dies.
