,needing a working Death Row Strat

[Navaros]

how am i supposed to beat this mission? and i want a good answer that will work, not a RETARDED answer.

 

don't say helicopter. those f*cking things are impossible to control!

 

i can go in there with body armor and assault/sniper rifles/macs up the ying yang and i still get owned.  i don't have a problem getting Lance to the hospital - i can't even get to that part!  i need to know how *EXACTLY* i'm supposed to kill the millions of gang members guarding Lance!

 

no BS, WORKING strats only please. and include full details on how to do it, step by step

[Chunky Lee Chong]

What you do is, get about 5 rocket launcher rockets. Full health and armor. And an MP5 or an Uzi with more than 1500 bullets.

 

When you get there. Park your car down the road from the entrance to the junk yard, and aim the rocket launcehr at the road block and blow it up. Start storming your way through with the Uzi/MP5, aiming at every person you see and kill all of them. Then, once you've made your way to Lance get him and hop into the Admiral/Sentinel that's sitting on the right side of the shed.

 

Make your way to the hospital as fast as possible.

[Mr. Wongs]

Well, the easiest way would be with a helicopter, but I see you have difficulty controlling it.

 

Equipment

Armour and health is a given. Even better if you did the Ambulance and Vigilante missions for 150 points for each. Acquire a sniper rifle, an Uzi type weapon and an assault rifle (M16, preferably).

 

Strategy

 

1. Getting to the junkyard

 

Make sure you have a fast sports car before you accept the mission (I prefer the Cheetah). As soon as you start, hop in and drive as quickly as possible, time will be a factor. Take the bridge which crosses Starfish Island to reach the second island, and from there make your way to the junkyard.

 

2. Mowing your way through the opposition

 

The entrance of the junkyard will be blocked by two vehicles and some guards. Either snipe them from a distance, or blow the cars up along with the guards. Use the assault rifle for this.

 

Move in cautiously past the entrance. Either snipe the enemies before they get in too close, or use the uzi/assault rifle to kill each and every one of them. The difficulty of this mission is strictly based on your aim, so if you can't fire a gun properly, then you better start practicing. Enemies will pop up from every which corner, so don't dive into the fight without first scanning the area.

 

Watch out for the enemy on top of the crane, just in front of the warehouse where Lance is held. More guys are located inside the warehouse, which should be killed easily with the sniper rifle. Some might hide in a corner, and can easily shoot you down if you're not carefull. Advance with extreme caution. Make sure that you eliminate all the enemies in the junkyard.

 

3. Getting to the hospital

 

Now go on and talk to Lance. He is badly hurt, and need to take him to the hospital. Don't use the Sentinel located left of the warehouse, but instead jack the Trashmaster which is conviniently located close to the entrance. You will notice that a bunch of furious Comets will give chase as soon as you exit the junkyard. No worries, however, as they will bounce off the mighty Trashmaster, so they really shouldn't pose a challenge. Drive to the hospital in Downtown and the mission is done.

argh i can't count the number of times i just lost this mission due to bugs tonight!!!!!!!!

 

 

one gang member was stuck in a wall due to clipping bugs.  he could shoot me but i couldn't hit him.

 

another time i got the helicopter in and parked it behind the shed.  when i came back with Lance, it was gone ffs!!!

 

one time i just about had the Mission done, i came in with the Helicopter, got Lance and shot my way out, threw molotov cocktails at the roadblock until a firetruck came.  in the firetruck i killed AT LEAST 5 Comets, then pressed the "Bail" key as soon as my firetruck started to light up, and my guy didn't even get out ffs!  grrrrrrrrrrr

 

this game really sucks when it tries to be an FPS.   your guy can't even SHOOT WHILE RUNNING FFS!  that's pre-Wolfenstein 3D design.  no f*cking reload key either!

 

this mission is really extremely retarded.  Vice City is pathetic at simulating an FPS and is very agonizing that it insists on trying to do so on this Mission.

 

if i get the helicopter in, how do i get it out?   i can get it in, but it always ends up getting blown up shortly after i land.  how the Hell am i supposed to land it and keep it intact when i only have a few seconds to land once they start shooting, otherwise it will blow up in the air with me in it.

 

where do i get rocket launchers from?

 

i reallllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hate this f*cking retarded mission!

 

 

[Chunky Lee Chong]

Don't try to take a helicopter. That is the worst thing you could do.

 

If you want a rocket launch with 4 shells, there is an Inn near the airport called the Hooker Inn. In the pool there is a Rocket Launcher.

[R5O]

If you have access to it, use the tank.  It is a bit slow, but you should still have plenty of time to get from the club to the junkyard.  Then blast away every obstacle, keep your speed up and try to avoid being pulled out.  Park as close as possible to where Lance is, so that the tank doesn't disappear after the cutscene.  If there's still someone alive, get rid of them and then enter the tank and have fun while driving Lance back to the hospital while cars smash into you.

[Shrapnel]

The Trashmaster is not always there!! Take extreme note of this. When I did it, the Trashmaster was there before the cutscene, but afterwards it disappeared.

 

When I did it, I had already gotten nearly all the packages and had a large arsenal at my disposal. I got myself the PSG-1 and the minigun, armor, and the Sea Sparrow from my mansion. I flew to the club, flew back to the junkyard, landed the Sea Sparrow on top of a building and sniped everyone that I could see.

 

Then I jumped down, got out the minigun and blew everyone away that I didn't kill with the sniper rifle. I got to Lance and I jacked the Sentinel next to the shed, but it soon was torn to shreds from constant Comet bombardment. We got out and I jacked a passing Pony, which was just strong and fast enough to get us to the hospital in time.

[Navaros]

that's true.  at least 90% of the 50+ times i had to do this Mission before i beat it, the Trashmaster disappeared after the cutscene.  so much for the popular "Trashmaster" strat

 

i finally beat it by happening to land my helicopter in a place where it can take off again without the f*cking blades blowing it up before it gets off the ground as they crash into walls/junk/fences       sheer dumb luck made me beat it.   NOT cool.    

 

btw, even if you take the Helicopter out and avoid the junkyard entrance where the roadblock is, the Comets STILL chase you and swarm around the ground directly where you're flying.  so when you land, it's highly likely that Lance will get run over or shot once and die even if you land right next to the pink spot of the Hospital.  

 

thank God that didn't happen to me. i just barely got Lance in the Hosipital after landing perfectly.  he took at least 4 seconds to get out *AFTER* I was already out and the Comets were swarming me.

 

this is the most retarded mission ever

 

 

[Kremit]

this game really sucks when it tries to be an FPS.   your guy can't even SHOOT WHILE RUNNING FFS!  

there's a mod for this ya know? its called the run and shoot mod... and I love it very much... its pretty simple to install, just over write the weapons.dat file there already... I think there was only one or two lines editted in total, and so far it hasn't caused me any problems... been using it for like 2 months..

[259]

Ahh, yes the run and gun mod. My lifesaver. The bad thing is that you always use one hand to shoot when running which makes holding some guns look weird... like the m4 or the minigun which has big recoils and requires two hands to fire properly... but who cares? nothing like running into a crowd of police with the minigun blazing.
