GTA IV: The Lost and Damned
12of 22
Mission 12 of 22Story mission
Johnny's first act as president is to make the Angels of Death expensive to be, and Malc of the Uptown Riders supplies the means: pipe bombs, and three vans to use them on. It is the loosest mission the episode has, with no clock on it and no order to do the three in.
It is also the mission that quietly says the episode's guidance is not a script. The instruction is to use the bombs and the vans burn just as well if they are simply shot at.
A pipe bomb works by being cooked for the right length of time and dropped in the road ahead of a van rather than thrown at it, which means riding past each target and turning to face it. Sit far enough back that the explosion does not take the bike with it.
The vans do not run and nothing expires, so all three can be taken at whatever pace suits. The riders around them are incidental — the vans are the objective.
Shooting a van until it catches is as effective as bombing it and considerably simpler, and the mission accepts it. Finishing all three puts pipe bombs on Terry's van to buy and lets Jim bring them out.
Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
