Unlocks Cabmaggedon

Vice City Cabs keeps stealing Kaufman’s fares because it has more cars. Doris asks you to even the odds by hunting down and destroying three of the rival taxis.

Before you start

If you carry no weapon, the game gives you an Uzi at the start. A rocket launcher or SMG makes the job faster.

Rival cabs are marked on the radar, so just follow the arrow.

Friendly Rivalry walkthrough

Doris’s complaint

Get into a Kaufman cab in the depot and listen to Doris on the radio. Doris says the company is losing fares all over the city, and one of the drivers answers that Vice City Cabs keeps beating them because it has more cars. Doris asks you to take care of the rival fleet, and the objective is three rival taxis destroyed.

Find the first taxi

Drive out of Little Haiti and follow the marker on the radar to the nearest rival taxi. The cab is not armed, but it will try to get away. Pull in close behind it, then shoot from the car or ram it until it burns.

The second and third

Follow the next arrow in the same way. Fire from the window as you pass, then finish the job with a burst. Do not stay beside a burning car, because it will blow. Each wreck makes the next taxi easier to find.

The last one

Drive to the marker for the last taxi, hit it hard and wait for it to explode. The mission ends the moment the third taxi goes up, so you have no need to return to the depot. Keep your distance from the wreck, since a burning cab can blow up beside you.

You receive $2,000. Doris will have another task for you at the depot.
