Drive-By is the fifth mission from Sweet. CJ is the driver while the rest of the crew shoots at Ballas on the street, so the job is all about keeping the car alive.
Walkthrough
- After the cutscene, get in the car and drive to the yellow marker on the radar.
- Red markers now show where the Ballas stand. Drive past them slowly and let your passengers shoot.
- Rock the car back and forth to throw off their aim, and run down anyone who tries to flee.
- Follow the radar to the next group. There are four groups in total, the last one under a bridge.
- After the last group you get a two star wanted level. Drive to the spray shop marked on the radar to lose it.
- Return to Sweet’s house to finish.
Tips
- The mission fails if the car is destroyed, and GameSpot notes you cannot swap cars. Watch the car’s health throughout.
- Running Ballas over is often quicker than waiting for your passengers, and it saves damage.
- On the way to the spray shop, keep your speed up. GameSpot says the police are less likely to ram you when you are moving fast.
- The spray shop visit is free in this mission. Normally it costs $100 and clears your wanted level, repairs the car or changes its colour.
