weddlec Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I am currently at 90.4% on my game save. I have completed all of the side missions except for 1. Hunter Target 2. Vigilante (I wanted to do this in the Hunter) 3. Smuggling 4. Robbery I also have 12 more missions to go. I was reading a forum that said that Drugs, Robbery, and Smuggling were all unlocked after "From Zero to Hero." I read another thread that said that you have to take over an existing Smuggling or Robbery empire from a rival gang before it will be unlocked. Well, I have satiusfied both requirements. I have taken over all 30 empires. I have taken over all 6 types all at different "build levels". By that I mean small, medium, and large. My issue is that if I go to any of my empires and try to develop, Smuggling and Robbery are still labled as Unavailable. I did manage to get Drugs unlocked. I think it is a glitch or something. The worst part is that I can't sell or lose an empire to a rival gang in hopes of getting to take it over again in an attempt to unlock those 2 empire types. What should I do. Has anyone else experienced this? I searched but found nothing. I haven't used any cheats or messed with my game save in any way.

Warp3 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The only requirements are: - Open second island (i.e. complete "From Zero to Hero") - Take over a drug, smuggling, and robbery business You didn't take them all over before opening the second island did you? (In my game, I used the Taxi jump to get to the 2nd island early and did buy a few businesses (that were temporarily unoccupied after a Bikers vs Sharks battle) while over there, but I didn't actually attack any high-level businesses until I had the 2nd island open and I have all six types available as expected.)

pimp_60cent Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thats not what he's saying Warp. He means he that already unlocked all 30 empires, and has all 6 buisness types. His problem is that when he tries to repair or change his buisness, It says that smuggling and robbery are unavailable. @Weddlec: Sorry bud, I'm guessing it's a glitch.

weddlec Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I hope I don't have to start a new game. I am so close to being done. Yeah, the mistake that i made was that I had already finished the 3 empire missions on the West island and wanted to make fast cash on the East island by making them all Prostitution Empires, thereby not having to complete any missions on 3 new empire types. It was a stupid idea, but my understanding was that I could wait until later in the game to convert them to Drugs, Smuggling, and Robbery in order to get 100%. I was only able to get the Drug Empire because of the mission where you take it over, and I didn't bother to change it to anytrhing else. Not I have all 30 empires, all Prostitution except for the 1 Drug empire, and Smuggling and Robbery are listed as unavailable. Soo annoying. I really don't want to have to start over.

GTA_Loco Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well I guess you don't need to unlock those two business types for 100% completion. Taking over all 30 empires counts already for 100% completion. As for your problem, try building your rep to level 15 in a location originally assigned as Smuggling or Robbery if you can still identify them. That might solve the glitch. Just a theory.

bigdani Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 hmmmm.... I think he's got to do all the 6 smuggling and robery missions for 100%, difficult if he doesn't own any of these types. It doesn't look good my friend. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268238-help-i-cant-unlock-smuggling-or-robbery/#findComment-4075977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

victim225 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 you must have taken over all the businesses on the second island quite quickly, so I know your problem. All businesses on the east island start off as drug business by default. When bikers attack sharks and visa versa they may change to smuggling and robbery over time. So by taking over all 30 businesses so quickly you didn't give them a chance to change their own businesses, and you can only unlock robbery and smuggling businesses by taking over one of their kind. Empire building is about patience. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268238-help-i-cant-unlock-smuggling-or-robbery/#findComment-4091068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielojp Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 i have the exact same problem! i have restarted the game, although i had a game save thingy at around 10%, so it wasn't that bad, and i had only gotten up to 70%. it is a bit annoying, but i guess we'll just have to live in regret Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268238-help-i-cant-unlock-smuggling-or-robbery/#findComment-1060941698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
