Ryder is the first mission from Ryder. It is a tour of the local shops that teaches haircuts and eating, and it ends with Ryder making a bad decision at the pizza counter.

Walkthrough

  1. Leave Ryder’s house, get in the car and drive to the red marker outside Reece’s Barbershop.
  2. Inside, walk into the marker by the chairs and choose a haircut. You can preview each style before you pick.
  3. Ryder sends you across the street to Well Stacked Pizza. Walk into the red marker and choose a meal.
  4. After you eat, end the conversation with the cashier. Ryder then tries to rob the place and the cashier pulls a shotgun.
  5. Run outside. The cashier follows you out.
  6. Take Ryder home to finish.

Tips

  • Some haircuts earn respect from your peers, others appeal more to girlfriends. IGN notes Ryder approves of the Cornrows and mocks the Jheri Curl.
  • GameSpot suggests not spending much on hair before you can afford clothes, since a hat can cover it later.
  • Eating keeps CJ from losing health over time. GameSpot notes the cheapest meal is only a couple of dollars.
  • If you want a shotgun, take out the cashier when he follows you outside and pick up his gun.

Rewards and unlocks

IGN lists Respect. All barbershops, tattoo parlours and fast food restaurants open.
