GTA SA Reuniting the Families Walkthrough

Sweet announces that he will reunite the Families to push the Ballas out of the neighborhood and drives to a meeting at the Jefferson Motel. When police and S.W.A.T. swoop in on the meeting, CJ fights through the motel to rescue Sweet and escapes with the cops on his tail.

Reuniting the Families walkthrough

Sweet’s announcement

Walk into Sweet’s house, where Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke are watching TV. Sweet makes them listen and says that tonight the Families will be reunited, because the Ballas have been selling drugs on Grove Street’s turf for too long. He will represent Grove Street at a meeting at the Jefferson Motel and he wants the crew to come along.

Drive to the Jefferson Motel

Get into Sweet’s Greenwood and drive the crew to the Jefferson Motel. Ryder gets on your nerves during the ride, but Sweet tells him to leave you alone. Park in the lot at the motel. Reps from the other Families are already there, and Sweet goes in alone because each set may only send one person.

The police arrive

While you wait, a police helicopter swings overhead and orders everyone to stay put. S.W.A.T. officers drop down ropes. CJ leaves the car to help Sweet, while Smoke and Ryder drive off. Enter the motel, where you find dead Families members in the lobby, and pick up the shotgun you are given before you go upstairs.

Fight through the motel

Move down the corridors one room at a time, shooting any S.W.A.T. officer you see. They appear from doorways and stairs, so aim for the head or fire at close range with the shotgun. Pick up health from the dead whenever you need it. Search the rooms for dropped armor. Sweet is on the upper floor, and the route leads you through the hallway.

Escape with Sweet

Once you reach Sweet, the helicopter returns. Shoot it down while Sweet fires beside you. Then follow him out and climb into the Greenwood. Sweet drives while you shoot out of the window at the police cars chasing you. Aim at the tires and the drivers, and take down the motor officers who jump onto the back of the car.

Lose the cops

Keep firing until the last pursuer is gone, and the chase ends in a crash and an explosion. Then you get out and head away on foot from the burning wreck. When you reach the end marker, the mission ends.
