Gang Wars in The Lost and Damned

Given by	A Gang War blip on the map, set by Johnny’s club
Opens after	Bad Cop Drop and Politics
Counts toward 100%	Yes. Finish 25 Gang Wars. More keep appearing after that.
Reward	Cash for every war ($1,250 for the first, $7,250 for the 25th), plus a new weapon at the safehouses after 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wars

Gang Wars are the club’s street fights, and you need 25 of them for the 100% checklist. Each one sends Johnny and his brothers against a rival gang somewhere in Liberty City. A win pays cash, and every war pays $250 more than the last. The game never stops handing them out, so you can keep going past 25 for weapons and money.

How Gang Wars work

They open up after two story missions: Bad Cop Drop and Politics. Once both are done, Gang War blips start showing up on your map. You can take them in any order you like and at any hour.

Ride a bike to the meeting point blip. Your brothers join you, and the objective changes to take out the rival gang. Clay, Terry and Jim (until Was It Worth It?) always come along, plus three more club members. The others only follow while you are on a bike, so don’t switch to a car on the way. Now ride with them to the enemy spot and park. A gang of 20 to 30 usually waits, and reinforcements can turn up.

You’ll run into three kinds of war. A hangout war puts the gang in one spot, and you go in and clear them. A cruising war has the gang on the move, so you meet them on the road and fight from the street. A transportation war names one vehicle as the target. Destroy that car and you win, but if it gets away, you fail. The third kind comes up less often and pays a little extra.

Rival gangs

The enemy can be the Angels of Death, the Yardies, the Commission, the Russian Mafia or the Albanian Mob. Each one brings its own cars: the Yardies, for instance, drive Huntleys, Voodoos and Comets, while the Russians lean on Schafters, Reblas and Stretch limos. Whatever gang it is, Johnny may still shout the Angels of Death insult at them.

Pay and difficulty

The first war pays $1,250. Each win after that adds $250, so the 10th pays $3,500, the 20th pays $6,000 and the 25th pays $7,250. The win notice shows the war number out of 25 and the pay. Fights get harder as the count goes up: more enemies, stronger ones, and more police cars turning up. Surviving brothers also get tougher after a win. See Backup and brothers for how the club fights beside you.

How you can fail a war

You fail if Johnny dies, if he gets busted, if a target or the target vehicle escapes, or if one of your brothers dies before the group reaches the enemy. Once the fight starts, your brothers can all die and the war still counts as a win, as long as Johnny lives. If Johnny does die, any brothers who fell are back for your next war.

Weapon rewards

Gang Wars unlock free guns at your safehouses. After the right number of wins, the weapon appears inside.

Wars completed	Weapon that appears
10	Sawn-off Shotgun
20	Automatic 9mm
30	Carbine Rifle
40	Assault Shotgun (after you finish Heavy Toll)
50	Grenade Launcher

For the full list of guns and where to find them, see Weapons.

Tactics

Bring a rifle and a launcher. A Carbine Rifle, SMG or assault weapon handles the crowds, and headshots drop men fast. A rocket launcher is the cleanest way to end a transportation war in one hit. Use walls, car doors and corners for cover, and let Clay and Terry draw fire. The other brothers charge in and tend to die early, which is fine because the war still counts. Fighting near police is rarely worth it, so end the fight before they pile in.
