Requires The Fastest Boat and Waste the Wife

Unlocks Check Out at the Check In, once Shakedown is also done

Mr. Black calls with a list of six European gangsters who plan to rob a Vice City bank, each living under a cover identity. You have nine minutes to find and kill them all.

Before you start

Nine minutes is tight, so skip detours and do not spend time on a wanted level.

A sniper rifle and an Uzi are hidden for you in a garden nearby, so grab them first.

Objectives

  1. Kill all members of the gang within 9 minutes.
  2. Mike Griffin is working on an advertising board in Washington.
  3. Dick Tanner is working for DBP Security in Ocean Drive.
  4. Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter are near the jewelry shop in Vice Point.
  5. Nick Kong is cruising off Washington Beach.
  6. Charlie Dilson is riding in Washington.

Autocide walkthrough

Mr. Black’s list

Answer the ringing payphone by the mall. Mr. Black explains that a European crew plans to hit a bank and his employers want them gone. Details on every target are taped under the phone, and he warns you have nine minutes in total. The clock starts the moment he finishes talking.

Weapons and Griffin

A pickup marker in a nearby garden holds a sniper rifle and an Uzi. Take both and steal the silver PCJ-600 left by the hedge, since a bike is the fastest way around. Mike Griffin is on an advertising board in Washington. Climb a safe distance away and snipe him from the street.

Dick Tanner

Ride south into Ocean Drive and look for Dick Tanner, who is working as a DBP Security guard. He spots you if you get close, so he starts shooting, and you should be ready to fight. Use the sniper rifle from a distance or the Uzi if he already sees you.

The Vice Point pair

Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter are close to the jewelry shop in Vice Point. Hammond drives a black and pink Bobcat. Approach carefully, since both of them open fire once they notice you. Kill both before they get away, taking Hammond first and then Carter. Keep an eye on the clock, since you have already spent time on Griffin and Tanner and still have Kong and Dilson to find.

Kong and Dilson

Nick Kong is out on the water off Washington Beach. Find a spot on the shore that gives a clear line, then shoot him with the sniper rifle. Charlie Dilson is the last target, riding a motorbike around Washington, so stay on your bike and keep your distance.
