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