Distribution

Location
Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, Little Havana, Vice City Mainland
Reward
Up to $3,000 a day from the factory

Requires Shakedown, and buying the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory

Unlocks Income from the factory, and Cap the Collector once the other required assets are done

The ice cream factory is really a front for drugs. You drive its Mr. Whoopee van around the city and sell to customers until you have made 50 deals.

Before you start

Fill up on armor and bring a decent weapon. Gangs resent anyone selling on their turf and the police take notice of repeated sales.

Stay in the van. Getting out ends the mission.

Objectives

  1. Use your Mr. Whoopee Van to distribute Cherry Popper’s product around the city.
  2. Make 50 deals.

Distribution walkthrough

Take the van

Get into the Mr. Whoopee van parked at the factory. The previous owner, Maude Hanson, has told you the ice cream is really drugs, so you are about to sell it. Help text explains that each sale earns cash but raises police interest, and that local gangs will not like you working on their ground. Pull out and look for customers on the pavement.

Selling

Customers show up as pink markers on the street and on the radar. Pull up beside them and the sale happens. The counter at the top of the screen tracks your deals. If a street shows no customers, drive on to another area. Little Havana and Little Haiti are busy.

Police and gangs

The more you sell, the more wanted stars you collect, and rival gang members shoot at the van on their turf. Keep moving, and drive off if a gang starts shooting. When police cars appear, lose them before you stop to sell again, since the van is slow to accelerate.

The last deals

Keep working the streets until the counter reads 50. Head for areas away from the police and keep an eye on the van’s health. Take the last sales where it is quiet. The more customers you serve, the more police attention you draw, and local gangs resent you selling on their turf, so avoid dealing near them. All 50 sales must be made in one go, so do not leave the van or it ends the run.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • The Mr. Whoopee van is destroyed
  • You get out of the van

After the mission

The factory now generates up to $3,000 a day, which you can collect at its front.
