GTA Vice City Gun Runner Mission Walkthrough

Phil Cassidy tells Tommy about a Mexican gun runner whose trucks are out on their weekly run. Tommy rams the loads off the back of the trucks, smashes the crates for weapons, and then finishes off the dealers and their trucks.

Before you start

Bring armor and a sturdy car, because you spend much of the mission ramming trucks and fighting dealers on the street.

Objectives

Go and knock the arms off the back of the dealers’ trucks.
The arms dealer dropped his load. Smash the crate and pick up the weapon.
Now go and finish off the remaining dealers.

An explosive welcome

Phil runs past Tommy and shouts for him to run, just before one of his boomshine stills goes up. He says the lesson is never to put a naked flame near it. He then tells Tommy about a gun runner delivering weapons across town, and says the way to get the guns is to ram them off the back of his trucks.

Ram the first truck

Get into a sturdy vehicle and find the first convoy on the radar. The gun runner’s men drive white Walton pickups with crates on the back, escorted by dealers on Faggio scooters. Pull alongside and ram the rear until the crate slides off. Then get out and smash it to collect the weapon inside. Be careful leaving your car, because if the Walton driver is still alive he may run you over.

More trucks, more backup

Chase down the other trucks the same way, so that you knock four loads off in all. Each time a crate falls, smash it and take the weapon, and use the new guns on the escorts that follow you. When the last crate is open, go back and destroy the trucks themselves.

Finish them off

Once the trucks are wrecked, the last objective is to finish off the dealers still on the streets. Chase down any who flee, because the mission fails if they get away. Each dealer you kill adds $100 to your reward, so take them all out.
