It’s a G Thing

Giver
Lamar Davis
Location
Lamar's phone call after Slow and Low; you and a partner start in lowriders at Mosley Auto Service in Davis

Unlocks Funeral Party

Gerald has been arrested and is being driven to the airport in a police van to be flown out of the state. You race to Los Santos International Airport, blow open the van with a sticky bomb, and get him away from the cops to a drop off.

Before you start

Bring a partner; one of you can fire at the escort while the other places the sticky bomb.

Fill up on armor and ammo, because police gunfire at the airport is heavy.

Keep the lowrider in good condition on the drive; you need it again after the rescue.

Objectives

  1. Go to LSIA
  2. Blow open the van doors and rescue Gerald
  3. Collect Gerald
  4. Take Gerald to the drop off
  5. Lose the Cops
  6. Help deliver Gerald to the drop off
  7. Wait for Gerald to get in his lowrider

It’s a G Thing walkthrough

Drive to the airport

Lamar supplies sticky bombs at the start. Take the lowrider and follow the marker north and west toward LSIA. The road passes under the freeway and then along the airport fence. You have a few minutes, so there is no need to race recklessly, but do not dawdle either.

Find the van

On the tarmac you will see a Police Riot van surrounded by patrol cars and officers. Stay in your car as you approach and drive in from the side so the police have trouble tracking you. Use the cars and concrete barriers on the apron as cover when you leave the vehicle.

Blow the doors

Get to the rear of the van and stick a sticky bomb to the back doors, then back away and detonate it. Do not stand close; the blast can hurt you and Gerald. Clear any remaining cops near the van, then collect Gerald and climb back into the lowrider with him.

Lose the cops

Now you have a wanted level. Take Gerald to the drop off by the Del Perro Freeway, and shake the police first. Police cars may block the road or try to box you in, so take side streets and turn often. Once the stars are gone, the marker shows the way.

Deliver Gerald

Follow the route near Pacific Bluffs toward the lot where Gerald’s own lowrider is parked. Drive carefully for the last stretch, as a wrecked car can still end the job. Park by the marker, then wait for Gerald to get in his lowrider and leave.

  • Gerald dies
  • the team runs out of lives
