GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

Corner Kids

Mission 4 of 26Story mission

01/04

Briefing

Armando and Henrique have a deal at the docks and it is already surrounded by the time Luis arrives. What was supposed to be a sale becomes a fight against NOOSE across the waterfront and up onto a roof, and ends with a helicopter coming down.

It is the mission that turns Luis's two friends from a lift home into a business, and the drug wars they run for the rest of the episode start here.

Walkthrough

  1. Into the docks

    The three of them drive down together and the shooting starts on arrival. The route through is ground level first, then the roof above it, then ground level again.

  2. Kill the pilot, not the helicopter

    The Annihilator overhead can be brought down by destroying the airframe, and it is faster to put a headshot into the pilot — the aircraft explodes when he dies. That also feeds the twenty-headshot condition rather than working against it.

  3. Take the accuracy seriously early

    Fifty-five per cent accuracy and twenty headshots across a fight this long is the hard part of the score rather than the seven-fifty on the clock, so the opening exchanges are worth aiming through.

  4. Run them home

    With the roof and the helicopter dealt with, the mission ends on the drive back to Northwood.
