spydr31 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I searched all the forums and found info. on Checkpoint Charlie, but I couldn't find any tips on easy ways to beat it. I'm terrible with boats and would like any assistance that you may have (without using cheats). I posted this in the Cheats and Tricks forum, but thought that I should post it here since it may be more related to gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D@3mOniT3 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 well, i would use the squallo (the one on the left) because it handles better. there aren't really any tricks to this mission, it just depends on driving skills. one thing that f*cked me up a few times was the jumps. before u go off a jump make sure u are lined up with it so that u are not hitting the side of it. if u go off a jump f*cked up, u will land in the water f*cked up, and it takes a lot of time to straiten back out (usually). so if u take the small amount of extra time to make sure ur going off it strait it will pay off. also, dont go full speed towards the jump. wait untill u are very close to it, make sure ur lined up, and gun it. the boats are fast so u will clear whatever obsticle ur trying to jump. this is mainly for the first 3 jumps where u have to jump the docks, the other ones u can go full speed cause u can see them and u will have time to straiten out and it doesn't matter much if u land f*cked up. keep trying and u will get it.

spydr31 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Thanks for the advice D@3mOniT3. That's where I get the most trouble is on those first jumps over the docks. I'll try what you said. I figured it was just one of those things where you just gotta keep trying till you get it, but like most missions I thought there might be a different way to get it done than what R* intended.

Struttdaddy Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I used the faster boat on the right, just slow up a bit when you go for the jumps, make sure to hit them head on....I had trouble with it too but after about 5 tries I finally beat it, I found hitting the breaks before the jumps helped a lot, because going full speed at them I would jump over the damn checkpoints!

causeway Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I'm have problems with this mission also.Several attempts which led to no cash made me abandon this mission. Same with that damn driver mission @ the malibu club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
