GTA 4 Three Leaf Clover Mission Walkthrough

Join Packie’s crew for a bank job in Chinatown. Drive them to the Bank of Liberty, fill the bags from the vault, then fight your way through police and the subway tunnels to a stolen car and the McReary house. You earn $250,000 and open Alderney.

Before you start

This is a long fight with no chance to restock once the vault is open. Fill your health and body armor, carry plenty of ammo for an automatic weapon and a pistol, and make a separate save first.

You can fail by shooting too many hostages in the bank or by letting the money bags get destroyed, so keep your aim off the customers and the bags.

Pick up the crew

The mission starts in a kitchen, where Packie introduces you to his brother Derrick. A police cruiser waits at the curb outside. Get in and take the wheel, as you’re the designated driver. The others climb in and the objective sends you to the bank. A yellow blip marks where to go next.

Niko opens the door of an LCPD police cruiser at the curb as the others wait on the sidewalk.

Drive to the bank

Follow the yellow route to the Bank of Liberty on Columbus Avenue, in Chinatown. It takes you over the Algonquin Bridge and through the lit-up streets of the city. The crew argues about how the job will go, so just keep the cruiser steady and stay on the road. Don’t take the cruiser through traffic at speed or ram anything, because you want to arrive in one piece.

Go into the bank

Pull up outside the bank and the crew pulls on balaclavas. Inside, they shout the customers down onto the floor. One of them keeps watch over the hostages while the rest head for the back. Don’t fire a shot in the lobby. Hitting the customers is a fast way to fail the mission, and nothing in here is worth it.

Three masked men with guns stand in the bank lobby.

Get the money from the vault

Once the vault is open, the objective tells you to go down and get the money. Walk down the corridor into the vault and fill your bags from the stacks of cash. Nobody stands in your way down here, so collect the money and head back up. The police arrive as you leave, and your wanted level jumps to the top, so be ready to fight.

Fight out of the bank

Back in the lobby, police and NOOSE officers surround the building. Follow the crew to the front door and take cover behind it. Cover Packie and Derrick as they step out onto the street. Aim at the officers behind the cruisers and the armored truck, since they will cut you down if you stand in the open. Kill the first group, then follow Packie.

Niko in a balaclava carries a bag of cash back into the bank lobby beside an armed crew member.

Move through the alley

Packie leads you into a side street. Stay behind the walls and bins and shoot the officers at the far end. Bullet holes ruin the cash, so keep your shots away from the bags the crew carries. When the objective changes to follow Packie and Derrick, run after them and stop at the next bit of cover. If you fall behind, you’re alone.

Clear the path through Chinatown

Every few blocks, the objective warns that there are too many cops and tells you to clear the path. Stop and shoot until the road is empty, then follow the others on. Use lamp posts, parked cars and the corners of buildings as cover. Cops also arrive in cruisers, so shoot out the drivers before they pile out. A grenade thrown at a car parked across the road clears several at once.

Watch for the helicopter

A police helicopter turns up as you reach the end of the streets. The crew yells for you to bring it down, but you can ignore it and keep moving. Follow Packie to the stairs at Emerald Station and run down. The helicopter can’t follow you underground, so use the stairs to get out of its sight.

Three masked men with bags look up at a police helicopter between buildings.

Niko heads down the steps of a subway entrance with the objective to follow Packie and Derrick.

Niko aims a weapon down a tiled subway corridor toward a man ahead.

Fight through Emerald Station

Inside the station the objective sends you after Packie and Derrick again. NOOSE officers hold the concourse and the platform, and they wait behind pillars and turnstiles. Shoot from behind the pillars, then cross the platform when it is clear. A train sits on the tracks, so use it as cover too. Don’t linger, because more officers keep coming down the stairs.

Run the subway tunnels

Jump down onto the tracks and run along them behind Packie and Derrick. The tunnel is dark, and officers appear from both ends. Stop to shoot when the objective says there are too many cops. Watch out for trains in the dark. Keep going until the objective says to get to street level, then climb the stairs.

Find a getaway car

Drive to Packie’s mother’s house

Drive to the McReary house in Meadows Park. With five stars, police units chase you across the Algonquin Bridge, so keep moving and lose them by cutting through back streets. A Huntley Sport has the speed to pull away from cruisers. Once the stars drop and you are clear, stay on the route and park at the marker outside the house.

What fails this mission

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

Packie or Derrick dies
You shoot too many hostages in the bank
You leave your teammates behind
The money bags are destroyed

After the mission

Parking at the house ends the mission. Packie hands over your share, $250,000, and the lockdown on the bridges and tunnels lifts, so you can reach Alderney. Packie also becomes a friend you can call, and the balaclava joins your wardrobe. Gerald McReary calls next to meet you in Dukes, and Taking in the Trash, Actions Speak Louder than Words and Smackdown become available.
