GTA San Andreas Drive-By Mission Walkthrough

Sweet wants to hit the Ballas where they live, and he wants CJ behind the wheel. You drive Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke through Ballas territory while they shoot from the windows, then shake the police and take everyone home.

Before you start

Fill up on health and armor first, because Ballas will shoot at the car.

The Greenwood is sturdy, but a few minutes of gunfire will wreck it, so avoid ramming things.

Take out the second group of Ballas.
Take out the third group of Ballas.

Drive-By walkthrough

Ryder insults your driving

Meet Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke outside Sweet’s house. Ryder mocks CJ’s driving after five years in Liberty City, Sweet tells him to calm down, and then everyone piles into the Greenwood parked at the curb. CJ takes the wheel, Sweet rides in the front and the others take the back seats.

Drive to Jefferson

Sweet points you at Ballas turf in Jefferson and Rollin’ Heights. Take the main road and keep the Greenwood steady, because Ryder keeps asking you not to crash. Slow down as you near the marker so the crew can open fire, and stay on the road because the shooters need a clear line.

Cruise past four Ballas groups

Each time you slow beside a group of Ballas, your three passengers lean out and shoot. Roll past slowly rather than stopping dead, and swing around if anyone survives. After each group is down they ask you to cruise on to the next marker. The fourth group is in Glen Park. Armed Ballas return fire, so keep moving.

Lose the police

After the shooting your wanted level jumps to two stars, and Sweet tells you to get away fast. Drive to the Pay ‘n’ Spray on the high street in Idlewood and pull inside. A new paint job removes the wanted level. If a patrol car is right behind you, brake early and turn in cleanly so you do not scrape the door.

Back to Grove Street

With the stars gone, drive Sweet, Ryder and Smoke home to Grove Street. Stop at the marker outside Sweet’s house. Sweet warns CJ that the Ballas will probably come after him whenever they see him in their territory, and the mission ends.
