The mission runs against the in-game clock, which must not reach 9:30.

If you run out of grenades you can restock at Marty’s.

  2. You can get some more grenades at Marty’s.
  3. Hurry up! They leave for work at 9:30!
  4. Two done… but they’re on to you, look out!

Waking Up the Neighbors walkthrough

Marty’s plan

Marty explains that the Cholos are moving in on his repo business. He wants to send a message, and his idea of a message is a set of grenades. Take them from him and listen to how the plan works: three vans, three destroyed, and nobody gets to go to work. The counter at the right of the screen tracks the vans.

Find the first van

Take a bike and follow the marker. The vans are spread around Little Havana. Stop short of the van, aim and hold the throw button longer to increase distance, as the help box explains. Each van is guarded by two Cholos with submachine guns, so expect gunfire.

The second van

Ride on to the next marker across Little Havana. The arrows over the vans make them easy to spot, even at night. The second van sits among fences and cobbled ground, and the Cholos near it fire back, so approach from a corner and throw from a distance.

The last van

Once the second van goes up, the Cholos send two gunmen in a Sabre after you. Watch for them on the way. Head to the last marker, get within throwing range and destroy it before the clock reaches 9:30. If you are out of grenades, go back to Marty’s for more.

What fails this mission

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

  • The Cholos’ vans leave for work at 9:30 before you destroy all three.

After the mission

You earn $500, and Marty’s next job, O, Brothel, Where Art Thou?, opens.
