BLOW JOB!
The rigged pickup is parked not far from where you are. You'll find it easily. Once you're in it, drive to the north part of the Mobile RV Park. Billy Bob Bean wants you to test the new explosives. Stop by Fat Boy Jim's trailer, arm the explosives, get out of the pickup, and watch the fireworks. If you weren't chased by the police, your wanted level will rise to one for blowing up a vehicle. Just wait it out. If you need it, a shotgun with 10 ammo will be left where Jim's trailer was.
Since the new explosives were efficient, you are to use another rigged pickup, which you'll find next to where the previous one was parked, to blow up the barricade blocking a key access point to the Zaibatsu territory. When the pickup blows, it should increase your wanted level to one, but it's Job Complete: any wanted level you have should normally be removed; however, since the explosion might hurt people/destroy vehicles AFTER you have finished the job, you could end up with a wanted level of one. If it happens, just enter the Zaibatsu territory and wait it out.
DOUBLE-CROSS CRUSH!
This mission is ideal if you are neutral with all three gangs. If not, it's still pretty easy. All you have to do is to first steal a Z-Type, go to the Scientist neighborhood, and drive over 50 Scientists; then you steal a Meteor, go to the Zaibatsu Village, and drive over 50 Zaibatsu. For the kills to count, you must be driving a Z-Type or a Meteor (depending on if you're killing Scientists or Zaibatsu). If your car gets too damaged, don't hesitate to get out of the place and get a new one. And if the cops are after you, don't hesitate to go to the nearest Respray shop, steal a civilian car and get a respray.
Hint: When you first load the stage, you will see a Redneck who kills a Scientist with a shotgun, and uzi bullets coming from beyond the edge of the left screen, aimed at the Redneck. Those bullets are shot by a Zaibatsu - theoretically. When you walk west, sometimes you'll see a Zaibatsu, sometimes you'll see an empty Z-Type, sometimes you'll see a Z-Type driving north with the Zaibatsu in it. Get this easy Z-Type if you can.
BENSON BURNER!
All you have to do is follow the arrow to a Benson. Steal it. Go to the Redneck's car device shop (just follow the arrow) and arm the vehicle with a bomb. Go to Mobile RV Park and park the armed Benson next to the crane. You must steal a Truck Cab so that you can move Dwight T's Trailer. Once you have the Truck Cab, follow the arrow to the Trailer and get it. Go back to the crane, where the Benson will be loaded onto the Trailer. Finally, drive to the Cop HQ in the Scientists' neighbourhood (once again, follow the arrow). Job Complete!
TANKS-GIVING!
First, get a fast civilian car - like a B-Type. Go to the military complex, but leave your car outside the gate. If you can have a second car - it makes it easier to kill the guards inside and protects your armor, which will serve you later. Of course, be careful not to die.
Now, after you've killed all X guards, pick up the Tank - and the Get out of Jail free card, while you're at it. Bring the Tank to the entrance. When you exit the gate, you will notice your Wanted Level has raised to 6 instantly. A few guards will be waiting outside and will start shooting you with their Uzis. Kill them with rockets.
Once the way is clear, get out of the Tank and enter the fast civilian car you brought with you. Follow the road, the one that's to the left of the military complex, north. You will see, to your left, a Respray shop. Get a new paint job, and lose the cops. Now you can tranquily and quietly bring the tank home, without any trouble from the cops...
GANG CAR BANG!
Seven Redneck thugs will follow you. You have to go to the Scientist area and destroy 5 Meteors, then go to the Zaibatsu Village and destroy 5 Z-Types. It is very easy. The best way to do this without getting the cops after you is to get a fast car, like a Z-Type, a B-Type or a Meteor, then rig it with mines. You'll have 10 mines provided, which is all you need to destroy those 10 vehicles.
Once equipped with mines, drive to the Scientist area. As soon as you spot a Meteor, get in front of it, then drop a mine and accelerate so that the Meteor is beyond the edge of the screen when it explodes. If you're far enough, the cops won't come after you. If you were too near, your Wanted Level will rise to 1, but you can hide it out. Once you destroyed 5 Meteors, go to The Village and do the same. You don't need to drive as far as the island itself. You are considered to be in The Village when you're just a little to the northwest of the military facilities.
A tip for this mission is to get all three gangs to respect you, with the Rednecks as highest respect so that they may give you the mission. Kill Scientists until they hate you, and the Rednecks love you. Now, kill Rednecks until they are back down to neutral, and the Zaibatsu love you. At this point, the Zaibatsu love you, the Rednecks are neutral, and the Scientists still hate you, so killing more of them won't decrease their respect, but it will increase the Rednecks' respect. Now balance the Scientists and Zaibatsu by killing Zaibatsu until the respect level of both are neutral.
PENAL TIES!
This job can be divided into six steps. The most difficult step is number 3. First, you must get inside the prison. Get arrested the way Billy Bob proposes it, by selling Beany Liquor. I suggest you get armor first. Follow the arrow to the car in the parking. Enter it, and you'll get arrested. Now, once you're inside the prison, you must get the key to the security closet from your contact inside. With the key you can get a Uniform and a Uzi. Follow the arrows again.
Now comes the hard part. As soon as you shoot, a riot starts. Prisoners hit each other, hit guards, hit you. Guards shoot prisoners, and you if you shoot them. Thus prisoners may knock you out, and guards may kill you. It's Job Failed in any of those two cases. Fetch the eight guards and kill them. Remember: the riot starts when you shoot. You can follow a guard until there are two in the screen then kill them. The riot will start but you'll already have two guards down.
If you succeeded in killing the guards, you'll have to get out. To open the gate, you'll have to use the key your contact gave you on both generators. You can reach the first one by using the right ramp that's just north of the basketball court. Climb up, then jump down to the generator. In ten seconds it'll blow, so just move away. Follow the arrow to the second generator. The gate is open... but the bridge is still up!
To the southwest of where you're standing at the moment, there's a parking. There are special agent vehicles there. Just steal one, but keep watching out for rioters on the way to the car. Once in the car, just speed out of the prison, jumping over the missing bridge.
Last part may be tricky, but it's easy. Your Wanted Level jumped to 3, so cops are making roadblocks every now and then. Follow the arrow to the building where they have clothes for you to change and for your Job to be Complete. Once in or near Mobile RV Park, you may notice it's impossible to get to that place - it's all enclosed in a fence. But to the north of it, there's a jump ramp you can use with a car to get in, and, inside that area, there's a second ramp to the south that leads you out. Be careful, when you jump you'll land on the main road. If you land on a car, you're dead. If you landed on a car and you're not dead, you're terribly lucky.
Scientists
SINK OR SWIM!
This mission is rather easy if you can avoid getting the cops' attention. The first step to this mission is to steal a taxi. Just walk around until you can get one. Once you've become a taxi driver, go pick up the four Zaibatsu. The arrow will guide you to each, one after another. The first one is next to a tower clock, the second one is waiting in an elevated parking to the west, the third one is in a hospital parking not too far, and the fourth one is farther to the south, waiting by the bridge over a river. You will then have to bring them to the car crusher to the east. Leave the car to be crushed, and it's Job Complete!
FAKE TRUCE!
First, get an old factory bus - the arrow will lead you to it. Once you have it, go pick up the Redneck and Zaibatsu delegates. Go pick up the two Redneck groups that are waiting in their Mobile RV neighbourhood, to the north-west, then the two Zaibatsu groups waiting in The Village, to the north-east. Once you picked up all four groups of delegates, bring the bus to the Scientist compound, where you will be told to get out of the bus by Dr Labrat while his clones destroy the bus, and make the mission a successful one!
In order to really make this mission an easy one, try to get all 3 gangs to respect you, or at least be neutral so they don't shoot you. You need the Scientists to respect you to get the mission, you need the Rednecks to navigate through their part of the city unhindered and the same for the Zaibatsu.
LABRAT'S PLAN!
You have to kill some Zaibatsu in The Village. Dr Labrat provides you with 9 Scientist clones armed with Uzis, who follow you around like baby ducks following their mother. Walk north of the phone to the nearest street and hi- jack a stretch limousine or some Van, since there's enough room in those vehicles for all the men to enter too. I suggest the limo, because it can drive fast enough and is more manoeuvrable. Drive along that road to The Village, to the north.
Once in The Village, Dr Labrat tells you to kill 47 Zaibatsu in order to complete the mission. The easiest way to do so is to drive along the road, on the side-walk, back and forth, west to east, until you've killed enough Zaibatsu. If at some point the limo threatens to explode, get out of it. The Scientists will get out too and cover you while you escape. Don't count on them if you're a few Zaibatsu short of complete the mission, since the ones they kill don't count.
Having some armor at this point is a good idea, because some Zaibatsu are armed with Uzis. Most likely you'll also have cops after you because there aren't only Zaibatsu walking along the streets of The Village. As soon as the mission is complete, though, your Wanted Level will drop to back zero.
GRAN'PA WE LOVE YOU!
The first step toward completing this mission is gaining the Rednecks confidence. We're not talking about your respect gauge here, so starting to kill hundreds of Scientists won't help you in that mission.
Meet Dirk, Gran'pa's grandson. He'll give you his pickup if you beat his record of running over 3 Loonies loose in the city in less than four minutes. You have the choice of doing that in a Furore GT, a Hachura or a Panto. One with the white line on top is recommended: either the Furore GT or the Hachura. The Panto is much too slow. Needless to say, killing the Rednecks standing near the cars and Dirk's pickup will get you a Failed Mission.
The Loonies are scattered around the city. You'll easily find them by following the arrow. Once you killed all three within the time limit, go back to Dirk and he'll give you his pickup. Now all you have to do is drive to Gran'pa's house, sound the horn, pick him up, and drive to the Scientist Lab.
A note of warning that this mission is difficult if you have the police on your tail. Especially if you use the Panto. With the Panto, this mission is challenging, and it becomes VERY challenging if you get it damaged - walking is almost faster!
REDNECK ATTACK!
First of all, get to the generators by following the arrow. Once next to them, you will notice several Scientists standing on the south side of the street, near three Generators. These Scientists are the last line of defence. A timer will start: for two minutes, you must prevent the groups of Rednecks from destroying the generators.
=The best way to complete this mission is to either be ready with an electrogun, a flamethrower, or a fast car, and stay on the north side of the street, waiting for the Redneck groups to advance. Kill them as they come. Don't worry if one or two slips from your grasp from time to time, you have around 15 Scientists armed with Uzis waiting for them.
The Rednecks will also be armed with Uzis, and will be coming in small groups, so if you have no armour, and no flamethrower or electrogun, grab a fast car instead and drive over them. Be careful, cars get damaged very quickly when fired upon by a half-dozen Uzis.
TAXI TRAITOR TEST
I think this mission isn't half as hard as it might be. It is composed of two phases: testing, and using. First, testing the remote-control Taxi takes place in a small track in the south part of the Scientist Complex. Just follow the arrow to the Remote Control icon. Once you get it, you will start a testing race in the track. You control the Taxi as if you were in it. You have two minutes to complete five laps. That's about 20 seconds per lap, but don't worry, unless you hit a wall every five pixels, you'll easily make it. The first time I tried it took me about 90 seconds, after two or three tries, I was able to do it in one minute. When you complete the fifth lap, the car will explode - Dr Labrat says they haven't had time to test the system yet...
The second phase of the job is putting the remote-control Taxi to use. There are three SRS traitors that must be eliminated. You are to use a Taxi to pick them up and make it look... accidental. You pick one up, and destroy the Taxi, then do it again two other times. Once all three traitors have met their fate, it's Job Complete. Be careful not to kill one of them by driving over him.
The good thing about this mission is that policemen can't stop you. So the ideal way to do this mission is to stay near the Scientists' red phone, killing "innocent" people and blowing up cars, until the special forces are after you. Then go pick up the phone and start the mission. Since there's no one driving the Taxi cabs, they can't arrest you. They'll make roadblocks, but when you approach them they'll just "shake" on their spot, not knowing what to do. This is good for two things: you can get easy silenced machineguns (10 per special agent you kill), and second, for every second that goes by while you have a Wanted level of at least 4, you gain money. Once the mission is complete, you lose all wanted levels.
WATER CARRY ON!
You are provided 4 useless tag-along clones to assist for this mission. The H2000 Water Company is located to the west of The Village. You must go through The Village to get there. The mission will then unfold in three steps. First, you must destroy the turbines. Second, you will have destroy the Generator. Third, get out.
The easiest way to complete this mission is to get a load of Molotov Cocktails. I got mine at the top left corner of the map - by the red Redneck phone. When you approach the compound, two guards will come out. Drive over them, then, without entering the compound, follow the upper "sidewalk" on foot, toward the right. You will - barely - see the turbines at the top of your screen, inside the compound. Just throw the Molotov Cocktails with enough strength to destroy them. You have to hit the middle of a turbine to destroy it.
Now all that's left is the generator. Continue right on the "high sidewalk", until you reach a mini-bridge of asphalt (not the one of grating) that goes south. Cross over the lane and enter the facility. Go west until you reach the bridge of grating. Follow the path left, until it turns up. You could continue walking down all the rest of the bridge, but if you move your screen down (Press and hold Alt and press Down), you will see the Generator - and that you can hit it from where you are with either a Molotov Cocktail or a rocket. Now all you need to do to Complete your Job is to get out of there, back to the entrance of the facility.
Final advice: before embarking on this mission, first get your health full, and some armour. You'll be glad to have them if you meet some Zaibatsu. And by the way, grenades can replace Molotov Cocktails without any problem.
Zaibatsu
SCIENCE FRICTION!
You'll need a rigged Redneck pickup to do this job. Montana's pickup will be perfect. It's parked in Mobile RV Park. However, there's just one little problem. Four Rednecks with dangerous weapons and an attitude protect the car. Drive over the two of them who are on the ground and armed with uzis. The other two, standing on buildings either side of the pickup, will throw Molotov Cocktails at you. Keep moving - you'd hate to see one of those explode in your face. Either you time your actions to steal the car without it being destroyed, or you kill those two cocktail-loving guys and safely make your escape with the pickup.vkilling them is suggested, because you need at least one Molotov Cocktail for the next part of the job.
Now that you have the armed pickup, follow the arrow to the Scientist Clone Test Center. Blow up the generator at the entrance with a molotov cocktail, grenade, or rocket, to make the gate open. Enter with the pickup, park it just to the south of the Scientist building and all that's left to do to have a Job Complete is to blow it up!
Tip: before doing this mission, make sure every gang is at least neutral with you. See 5.1 - GANG CAR BANG! for more details.
FIRE TRUCK FUN!
The new flamethrower prototype is being moved around the city in a SRS security van. The man in the van won't come out of it unless it's a policeman telling him to do so, so you must steal a cop car. Once you have the cop car, try to get rid of your Wanted Level(s), then go after the SRS van. When you approach it, the driver will come out. Just kill him and bring his van back home to The Village.
The flamethrower in it is a special flamethrower. It only works in conjunction with a Fire Truck. There are two ways to get a Fire Truck. Either destroy a car and wait for a Fire Truck to come by to hi-jack, or steal the one parked at the Fire station just south of the military base (just between The Village and the Scientist area). Once you have it, get back to the garage in The Village. An engineer is waiting just outside of it to install the flamethrower on the Fire Truck.
Now all that's left is to test it. You must kill 30 Rednecks with the flamethrower. Take the bridge that links the west side of The Village and the northeast of Mobile RV Park. On the western half of the bridge, you'll have a lot of Rednecks strolling on the grating "sidewalks". Aim your cannon left or right at a 90° or so angle (press and hold down the Horn button and press the left/right arrow), then hold down the fire button as you drive back and forth on the bridge until you meet the quota, and it's Job Complete!
