Zero’s old rival Berkley is back and sends a squadron of radio-controlled planes against the shop. CJ takes the mounted minigun on the roof and shoots down every plane before the bombers destroy Zero’s antennas.
Before you start
Zero’s missions are optional for the story but needed for 100%. Buy the Zero RC shop first, for $30,000, to start them.
Empty your heavy weapon slot if you carry a rocket launcher, so the minigun does not clash with it.
Objectives
- Use the minigun to eliminate the enemy threat.
Air Raid walkthrough
Zero’s worries
Enter the shop once you own it. Zero is in a state about his old rival Berkley, who has come back to town after losing a science fair to Zero years ago. CJ laughs at the idea of a feud over a school prize. Just then a buzzing noise starts outside. Follow Zero up to the roof of the shop.
The roof and the minigun
On the roof, Zero explains that Berkley’s RC planes are targeting the radio transmitters. If they are destroyed, Zero cannot hit back. CJ gets behind a mounted minigun with plenty of ammunition. You cannot leave the gun, so swing it left and right and fire in bursts to keep your aim steady.
Shooting down the planes
Planes come in waves from several directions, and some carry bombs that they drop on the antennas. Aim at the bombers first. If a plane is hit before its bomb lands, the bomb does not explode. Keep the sights moving along the horizon, because the planes are small and fast. Zero stands behind you, so avoid sweeping the barrel across him.
Victory
When the last plane falls, the mission ends in a short cutscene. Zero celebrates and promises to keep fighting Berkley, then mangles a famous speech. The antennas must survive the whole time, so stay focused until the final plane is down. Afterwards you can leave while Zero plans his counterattack.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- Zero dies
- All of the antennas are destroyed
After the mission
You earn $3,000 and Supply Lines… becomes available at the shop.
