I remember this being impossible as a kid but I just beat it on my first attempt.

Terrible mission. You need some strategy, some good timing, but a helluva lot of luck.

This mission is painful

i got insanely lucky with killing the sanches riders without blowing up the bike. This mission is such an insane difficulty spike

dude in this version the fuel goes down quicker, but for me any other version doesnt work with retroachievements

Tommy 23 Oct 2024 06:29

Gotta do it the OG hard way :D

carljohnson3 23 Oct 2024 06:58

´YES!!!! i finally got it after multiple, multiple attempts new hardest achievement (by points)

if you stay in the air without going too high and shoot with a bit of distance, it’s pretty easy. since there’s auto-aim, it automatically locks onto any vehicle in front of you, so even if you fly slightly over it, the plane will still manage to hit the target. slowing down and moving slowly in the air also makes it much easier.

Go as fast as possible and pretty much never let go of the X button. Fuel depletes much faster than in any other version of the game and at all times as long as you're moving. Chasing enemies is a waste of fuel, you HAVE to kill them as fast as possible and move on.

Standing still to shoot is ok since that's the only time you won't be losing fuel, getting to an enemy while they're stopped at a red light will give you some more time to shoot and it's why routing is so important. As a side note: the Sanchez and 2 of the vans are bullet sensitive, shooting anywhere near them even if you don't hit will make them flee. Only shoot if you're confident you can kill them before they get away, again, chasing enemies is a waste.

Takes a while and you'll have to learn how to fly the plane but it's doable as long as you just go as fast as possible, if you have at least half of your fuel after the 4th enemy it should be enough.

does that 60fps patch mess with this one? I had many attempts on it but it seemed like once i took the first three out, i couldn't even get across town to get the other because of the fuel

Versini 29 Nov 2024 14:42

Yes, the 60 fps patch makes you run out of fuel faster, and you'll also want to keep pressing X the whole time like TechnoFangirl said.

Still think this is the worst mission in GTA history.

Fuck you Tobias Funke!

fuck this mission

After like 20 attempts finally got it, TechnoFangirl is right - go as fast as possible, hold not tap X button, but I was having trouble with the motorcycle to the north, so I landed from the front and just shoot him on the ground, and pray that you won't get shot yourself. Make sure 60fps patch is disabled.

1st - kill the sideways van then turn right get close to the 2nd van and then start shooting than turn around and go for the 3rd bike, try to line up from the front not sideways, then turn right go left of construction site and try landing on the ground in front of the 4th bike and shoot, last van is easy just shoot when you are close, AFAIK vehicle explosives don't damage the plane, after killing last van you should have about 40% fuel.

Oh God, I took a LONG break from the game, went back into it today and finally did it! Its still painful lol.

Que missão insuportável, é horrível controlar o avião, parece que ele é feito de macarrão.

Xyer 11 Apr 2025 21:54

The fact that you have to make it back to the shop after blowing up the five is absurd.

beardyerror 14 Apr 2025 15:22

Indeed I found this mission more difficult than in other versions of this game- fuel seems to deplete on a timer regardless of anything you do. A combo of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxrkG8e-ra0) and TechnoFangirl's tips helped out. A lot restarting and luck involved. The two guys on the bike are killer.

MertTolo 1 May 2025 14:34

Made it after 4-6 tries - I feel like the trick to this is to kill the Sanchez-bike first (as that is the most common point of failure besides fuel depletion) and then kill all the other targets, wherever there may be. Good luck y'all.

AgentFG 27 May 2025 23:38

Finally after 50+ tries, 60fps patch off, EE cycle rate 50% speed, first try with these settings
