Tagging Up Turf walkthrough

Sweet’s orders

Find Sweet at his house in Ganton, where he is playing basketball with Big Smoke. He has no time for CJ’s excuses and tells him to hit up the hood, starting with their own set. He gives you a spray can. Walk after him once he calls you back, then get in his Greenwood. You will drive.

Idlewood tags

Drive with Sweet to Idlewood. He shows you the first tag and watches for rivals while you work. Get close to the Ballas tag and hold the fire button to spray over it, then follow the counter that shows how many of the hundred tags are covered. Another tag sits nearby, so find and spray it before returning to the car.

East Los Santos

Get back in the Greenwood and drive east. This is gang territory, and hanging around too long draws attention, so tag and move. You can spray a rival gang member in the face if one gets too close. Look for the red graffiti on the orange walls, spray each one over, and follow the blip to the next target.

Finish the set

Keep following the blip to the last target in the area. Once every tag is sprayed, the game tells you all tags are covered. Return to the Greenwood and head back to Sweet’s house in Ganton. Drive safely, since the Greenwood must survive, and stop outside the house to complete the job.

What fails this mission

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

  • Sweet dies
  • The Greenwood is destroyed
  • The spray can is swapped for another weapon

After the mission

Sweet hands over $200 and CJ earns Respect. A spray can now waits inside the Johnson house, and Cleaning the Hood opens.
