"Hey Comrades" by Brian Meech

To familiarize the player, the first mission includes just a video. The meeting place was set on the road from the cousins' apartment to the taxi depot - finding it would not be a problem at night. When we see Nico, a 29-year-old Los Santos native high on cocaine, we start making fun of Bellich's clothes and accent. However, having received rudeness in response, Brian will assure that he is rich and can afford this. To confirm, he will demonstratively take a hundred dollar bill from his wallet and give it to Niko, without wanting anything in return. This will end the first “mission” for a random acquaintance.

Brian heads home after the first meeting.

"Get the Stuff" by Brian Meech

The next time you can see Brian will be a day or two after the first meeting. However, now you will need to complete the mission - you won’t be able to get free money. However, the task is limited to the train to Brian's dealer, and then go where the passenger says. For such actions we receive $200 and look forward to a new meeting with an old acquaintance.

Brian before the second meeting.

"Rehab" by Brian Meech

Brian decides to quit drugs, but he has several debts to drug dealers that he will try to settle. Having gone there, at the beginning of the conversation, Brian will receive a baseball bat. Now we get out of the car and get rid of the two aggressors. After this, the friend will thank you and ask you to take him to the specified place. That's it, $500 in my pocket, and we won't see Brian again.

Brian before the third meeting.

"A Little Help from my Friends" by Mel

Chalk will appear on the spot after completing the mission "Escuela Streets". Mel is a middle-aged man who wants to start his life over. To do this, you need to go with him to his moneylender, who will be accompanied by two, and kill them. Then you should take Mel back. Another $500.

Chalk in front of the police station building.

"Not on my Turf" by Badman

The Jamaican "passerby" will be available after the story mission "Shadow" from Baby Jacob. The interlocutor will ask you to help recapture his territory from half a dozen Russians. Travel to the place, shootout - this is where the mission ends. Don't forget to bring something quick-firing. For this task + $500.

Badman on a bench before meeting Niko.

"Rap my crap" by Pathos

After the same “Puerto Rican connection”, another “passerby” will appear - rapper Paphos, who needs help in his “behind-the-scenes” affairs. It will be necessary to get rid of our friend’s two colleagues hand-to-hand. We won’t get any money, but there will be a plus to 100%.

A pretentious rapper with a pretentious pseudonym Paphos pretentiously “pushes” his pretentious CD on the streets of pretentious Liberty City.

"From Suffering and Back Again" by Pathos

The next time we will meet him 1-2 days after the first meeting, a few blocks from the first skirmish. This time there will be another skirmish with competitors, but with the use of firearms. Two opponents shoot at Pathos, and in the meantime the player must get rid of them. Then you need to get into the car and take the rapper to the hospital. There will be no reward again, but a fraction of a percent of 100 is required.

A few moments before the shooting began.

"The Money Bagger" by Hossan

The task will become available after the "Puerto Rican Connection" from Manny. Hosan is one of Niko's shipmates on the Platypus. After arriving at the port, Ramsey will become a moneylender under the guise of ordinary street trading. It is one of the clients that should be dealt with. Of course, the debtor will not return the money and will try to escape in his Banshee. Catching up and neutralizing him will not be a problem. For a job well done, Hosan will reward the player with $500.

Hossan at his stall.

"Guess Who's Coming to Diner" by Sarah

The first task for Sarah will open after completing Hosan's task. The companion will ask you to take her to the house, and will begin to complain about how unattractive she is, how she separated from her husband, how the divorce process is going. Arriving home, we notice Sarah's ex-husband. We have three options for the development of events: leave, beat up or beat up the uninvited guest. The reward will vary.

Sarah is waiting for a miracle named Niko.

"Be my Handyman" by Sarah

In the afternoon, 1-2 days later, we approach Pier 45, where Sarah will be standing. This time the task will be different - go to "Perseus" and pick up a package for Sarah. Then we go to the specified place and receive $1000.

Sarah before the second meeting.

"Almost Free" by Marnie Allen

The task will open after completing the mission “Actions speak louder than words” from Jerry McReary. After the conversation, you will simply need to take your new friend to the place she needs. For this, the player will receive, that is, lose five hundred green, that is, -$500.

Marnie is a young girl with a drug problem.

"I Wanna Go Home" by Marnie Allen

After the first meeting, she can be found in 1-2 days. The task again is this. To take her to the specified place. The only difference is that Niko will not gain anything, but will not lose anything either.

Another meeting with Marnie.

"Eddie's Real Smart" by Eddie Lowe

In parallel with Marnie’s first task, a task from Eddie Lowe, as it later turned out, a maniac from Alderney, will become available. You can find it from 20:00 to 04:00. First, he will simply ask you to take him and his bag to the docks, and then drop him off near the police station. However, the promised payment will not be forthcoming.

Apparently, Eddie lives and finds victims in Alderney.

"Silly Little Eddie" by Eddie Lowe

Again, at night, 1-2 days after the first meeting, you will be able to see Eddie for the second time. This time Lowe will choose Niko as his next victim and attack him with a knife. I think it won't be a problem to fight back. We'll take Eddie's money as a reward.

A few minutes later, Eddie, who previously called Niko his best friend, will attack him.

Gracie recognizes her captor and sets her bodyguards on Niko. Everything that falls out of the corpses is yours. There will be no other reward.

Gracie will appear on the porch of her house three days after the story mission "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".

"Smile, You're on Candid Camera" by Jeff

For Jeff to appear in GTA 4, you need to complete the “Photography” mission as Playboy X. The fact is that the essence of the task is the same - to make incriminating photographs. Jeff is sure that his wife is cheating on him with another man, but first he wants to make sure of it. We sit on the couple’s tail, then follow them into the cafe, take pictures of them and send the photo to Jeff. For a dust-free job we get $1000.

I will have to meet Jeff more than once.

"Domestic Accident" by Jeff

There is no point in looking for Jeff, as he himself will call in a few days and offer to meet. Now it becomes clear why there is such a rush - his wife Shirley lies in the trunk in a not very alive state. Jeff asks to take away the woman's body, to which Niko agrees. The player should jump out of the car, pointing it into the water at the indicated location. The whole problem is that you need to get there, and the corpse is in a visible place. Therefore, any patrol officer passing by will start a chase. Jeff will reward you with $5,000 for this task.

I wanted the task, and as payment for my sins, I received it.

film "Apocalypse Now"

Niko Bellic, a brave representative of the Serbian mafia, bravely fights the Russian mafia on behalf of the Italian, Negro, Haitian, Korean, Jamaican and who knows what else. But sometimes it happens that he gets tired of eternal battles. How can you diversify the bland gangster life? Meeting with friends, going to entertainment venues, of course. And also - side quests!

The game has several types of tasks that are not related to the main plot. Jacob’s friend, for example, has a dozen missions to deliver specific “products” to different points of the city. Eccentric athlete Brucie and his buddy Stevie are ready to offer a job stealing cars - the noblest occupation in the Grand Theft Auto series! A mysterious voice on the phone will offer to eliminate people you dislike for a fee - and even the Liberty City police are unofficially ready to accept help in finding and destroying dangerous bandits.

However, we will begin the story with truly “third-party” missions from the so-called “random” characters, who in fact are not random at all.

Random characters

Sometimes it happens that Niko Bellic is driving around the city, not bothering anyone, and sees a blue icon on the mini-map depicting a silhouette of a person. What is it for? To a side quest that is ready to be given by a character who is patiently waiting for us on the side of the road.

Side quests become available as you progress through the story, and we will find the first “random” character at the very beginning of the game - after the first mission at Cousin Roman’s taxi depot. Some characters will appear only if Niko has made the necessary choice according to the plot - for example, if we kill Ivan on Faustin’s instructions, we will not meet him again in the game.

Many characters are encountered only at certain times of the day, and some of them have not one, but several tasks. If you complete one, the next one, even if it is available in the story, will appear only after a few in-game days.

For your information: The location of all random characters can be checked on the gaming Internet at whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com.

Brian Meech

Location: Iroquois Avenue, Broker

At the first meeting at Roman's taxi depot, Brian is suspiciously cheerful and cheeky. He'll give Niko a bit of a run-in, which is bad, but he'll immediately give him a hundred-dollar note, which, in general, changes things.

Crockett Avenue, Hove Beach, Broker

Now Brian is no longer so joyful - he is definitely hooked on drugs. However, he has two hundred dollars to pay for a simple mission to deliver his mortal body to the meeting place with the drug dealer and after that - home.

Corner of Dillon Street and Montauk Avenue, Broker

Our old friend realized what a mess he was in and decided to enroll in a rehabilitation program. One of the steps of rehabilitation is to settle matters with old acquaintances. But for some reason, old acquaintances do not appreciate Brian’s efforts and try to catch him with baseball bats. But what are the beats worth against Niko's arsenal? When you take Brian home, he will give you five hundred dollars.

For your information: claim that the third mission becomes available only after at least one police mission to stop a crime has been completed. However, I managed to reach Brian without involving the police. If he does not appear at the indicated place, try to waylay him in the evening.

Badman

Badman will become one of the "random" characters after he meets Niko under very interesting circumstances.

Pill Farm Pharmacy, Dukes Boulevard, Broker

Badman will appear on a bench near the pharmacy after the very mission where he so hospitably greeted Niko at Little Jacob's house.

Judging by what can be deciphered from Badman's words, he has difficulties with the Russian mafiosi. They will be waiting for us in the alley. Shoot them, not paying attention to the loud swearing. The reward for completing the task is five hundred dollars.

Mel

Mohawk Avenue Police Station, Broker

Access to this mission will open after the first task of Escuela, a fighter against street drug trafficking. Mel is the same character that Niko knocked down at the Comrades bar. Now he has stopped drinking, given up drugs, and even venal love is no longer for him. However, he still has old debts that would be worth paying off - out of harm’s way.

In general, the situation is approximately the same as in Brian's third mission: the drug dealer's unwillingness to cooperate, refusal to settle the debt issue and an outbreak of violence, quickly stopped by Niko. Possible problems with the law can be easily solved by a repainting shop located two steps away (however, I advise you to save on paint and simply run away from the police).

Iliena Faustin

Firefly Amusement Park, Hove Beach, Broker

Mikhail Faustina’s wife, whom we will meet more than once in mini-story scenes, will be ready to give Niko a task after completing the mission “Puerto Ricans” from Manny Escuela. This is the same task where we chase a train in a car.

We will meet her at a well-known amusement park in Hove Beach, off the southern shore of Broker. In the story, her husband died (with the help of Niko Bellic), but Iliena does not hold a grudge against us, but asks for help. Her daughter Anna got involved with a bad guy who is not averse to making her a stripper.

The scoundrel can be killed, but this will upset Iliena. It's better to gently beat him and let him go.

Hossan

Corner of Garnet Street and Frankfort Avenue, Algonquin

This task, like the previous one, will open after the “Puerto Rican” mission with the train chase.

It’s hard not to recognize Hossan—his face is memorable. This is the same character from the ship to whom Niko told about Roman at the very beginning of the game. Hossan is a good-natured person. It’s not surprising that he has a hard time in Liberty City: he sells bags illegally in the noisy Algonquin. This is a quiet job, but the owner, an evil bourgeois and exploiter, refuses to pay a week's wages. What will the illegal immigrant do to him? Will he report it to the police? Ha!

No, Hossan really won't do anything. For what? After all, he has Niko, who can be connected to the class struggle. Take a fast car, because you will have to chase after the greedy beef, escaping in the Banshee, with shooting and similar special effects. Only death will make the owner pay. And Niko will receive the five hundred dollars due to him.

Sarah

Alley between Feldspar Street and Garnet Street, Algonquin

These are two more tasks that will open after the “Puerto Rican” story mission. The first one is quite funny, since Sarah is a girl, as they say, not without a bullet in her head. After a recent divorce, she is very concerned about her own attractiveness.

Delivering her home to her ex-husband will turn into a scene of jealousy - Sarah will inform her husband that Niko is her lover. Well, what to do in such a situation? End the crazy couple? Threatening your angry, rejected husband with a gun? Should I rush into hand-to-hand combat or just run away?

In any case, Niko will not receive an award.

Pier 45, under Broker Bridge, Algonquin

Niko doesn't really like hip-hop, but he liked the naive rapper Patos.

Sarah is not only eccentric, but also has a girlish memory. She doesn’t remember Niko at all and asks him to pick up things for the photo shoot from the store. Arriving at the place, Niko discovers that she also forgot to pay for her purchases. What to do - take things by force or pay? In any case, Sarah will reimburse the cost of the items and top it off with five hundred dollars.

Patos

Burger Shot Cafe, Star Junction, Algonquin

These two tasks also open after the “Puerto Rican” mission.

Patos is a young black aspiring rapper who sells his records on the street so as not to “get involved in the system.” Niko will like the energy of Patos, so when two ill-wishers appear on the street opposite and a hot-tempered black man gets into a fight, our Serbian friend will be simply happy to kill both.

Good, kind Niko Bellic. What won't you do for art?

Monument with Cross, Star Junction, Algonquin

And again, temper will play a cruel joke on Patos. Nico was able to protect him from fists, but will not be able to protect him from a bullet to the belly. Niko, of course, will shoot all the bandits, but the wounded rapper needs to be urgently taken to the hospital. Act quickly or Pathos will die. And don't crash into everything, otherwise the outcome will be the same.

Don't forget to check your email in a few days.

Marnie Allen

Bench by the fountain, Denver Avenue, South Algonquin

The task will open after the bank robbery.

The poor girl was treated badly, involved in a bunch of dirty activities, and now she's heavily hooked on crack, begging for money in the park. Niko may be a villain, a bloodthirsty bandit, but he’s not without a heart! Not only will he give Marnie a ton of money, but he will also take her to a drug dealer.

The reward is minus five hundred dollars.

Ivy Drive South, west of Middle Park

Did Marnie come to her senses and those five hundred dollars did her good? She doesn't want to stay in the city anymore, and Nico is just the person she needs to get home. More precisely, she doesn’t need Niko himself, but his finances. The reward for the mission is the same minus five hundred dollars.

A few days later, you receive a letter from Marnie in your mailbox.

Eddie Lowe

Eddie Lowe talks so strangely that Nico never dared to shake his hand.

Lokowski Avenue North, Alderney

The character will appear after the bank robbery.

Have you heard on the radio about a serial killer cutting off the heads of athletes in the park? Perhaps you read messages about him on the Internet or even came across a creepy blog? So, this is him, Eddie Lowe, the city maniac, serial rapist and murderer - all rolled into one, as they say. It is worth catching it in the late evening and at night.

Eddie is holding a heavy bag. I wonder what could be there? After a funny conversation on the street, he will ask Niko to take him to the docks. The dialogue between Niko and Eddie in the car is worth not rushing to the docks.

When Eddie gets rid of his bag (who would have thought?), take him to Westminster. Again, take your time - the dialogue is delightful.

Cockerell Avenue, Alderney (a few blocks south of the first meeting)

The dialogue with Eddie won't be particularly good, but at least our strange friend will confess to a few of his crimes before taking out a butcher knife and giving Niko a good excuse to get rid of him.

Niko will not receive a reward in any of these tasks. But we rid the city of a serial killer! The end has come for Eddie Dombrowski... I mean Eddie Lowe. Moral satisfaction is not a reward?

Jeff

Corner of Uranium Street and Bismarck Avenue, Algonquin

Jeff is another mentally ill character. Not to the same extent as Eddie, of course, but...

We will meet him after a task from Playboy, in which we photographed and eliminated a black man on the sports ground. Jeff thinks his wife is cheating on him. In general, he has a reason - his wife is upstairs, in the apartment, with another man. It would be a good idea to follow the couple to find out more details.

Follow the vehicle carefully. When the wife and her prospective lover enter the cafe, quietly follow them in, climb the stairs and take their photo. Send the photo to Jeff. The conversation in the cafe is quite innocent. But Othello is Othello - he needs a photograph, Niko’s opinion does not interest him. At least he pays, and that’s good. The reward for the mission is one thousand dollars.

Silicon Street, Algonquin

Unlike all other "random" tasks, Niko will receive this one over the phone. After the mission “Dutch Nights” (in which you chased Clorens across the rooftops on instructions from Inspector Francis), Jeff will contact you and demand a meeting.

An accident happened to his wife - she cut herself with a knife. Fifty times in a row. Now we need to get rid of the body - it sticks out under the rear window of the car and leads passers-by to unnecessary suspicion. The car must be taken to the pier and thrown into the water, jumping out of it while moving. Naturally, if the police see the corpse, they will be interested in its origin.

The reward is five thousand dollars.

Corner of Denver Avenue and Feldspar Street, Algonquin

Heartbroken, Jeff sits on a bench with binoculars in his hands. His new girlfriend seems to be cheating on him, and Niko Bellic must kill the unfaithful girl! Niko predictably refuses to do this. Jeff loses his temper. Will he really have to do everything himself? Luckily, a red light and a random car will save Jeff's new wife from...fifty knife cuts.

And Niko will only have to pick up the money scattered along the road.

Gracie Ancelotti

Babbage Drive, Alderney

Gracie is the same wild girl we kidnapped, photographed, carried in the trunk and traded. After the issue with the diamonds is resolved (mission “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”), Gracie will from time to time stand on the porch of her house and breathe fresh air.

Decisions, decisions... If you leave Dwayne's unfaithful girlfriend, she will appear on the street again and load Niko with her women's problems.

“It’s him, it’s he who kidnapped me! Kill him!" Poor Niko Bellic is no longer allowed to walk quietly on the street.

However, if Nico approaches her, she will instantly panic and call her bodyguards. What should I do? Shoot and only shoot! There are a lot of enemies, but there will also be shelters on the street, and Niko Bellic should have a lot of different weapons towards the end of the storyline.

Of course, no one will reward you. Collect the remaining ammunition on the battlefield - it will become your prize.

Cherise Clover

Cluckin Bell Cafe, Wauauxit Street, North Algonquin

Our unfaithful friend is Cherise - she really upset our employer Dwayne by the fact that while he was in prison, she, for his own money, had fun with the guy who set up the arrest. If you left Cherise alive in the first task from Dwayne, you can meet her in the north of Algonquin. The girl is beaten by her new friend, and she asks Niko to teach him a lesson.

“Teach a lesson” is a loose concept. It's one thing to punch him in the face. It's another thing to blow his brains out. It’s not hard to guess which option would suit Cherise better.

Ivan Bychkov

Farnsworth Road, Alderney

Ivan. “Ivan, not particularly formidable.” If in this mission issued by Vlad you let Ivan go home, you can earn another thousand dollars by protecting Ivan from aggressive debtors. Yes, yes, now Ivan got a job as a moneylender. A dangerous profession, especially in those moments when you are ambushed by five bandits, and two of them are hiding on the roof. But Niko knows the deal - he will hide behind cover already during the scene before the fight.

Florence Little

Wauauxit Street, Northeast Algonquin

Remember how you chased Clarence across the rooftops on the instructions of Inspector Francis? Then perhaps you remembered the moment at which you decided to spare him. Or Not spare. In the first case, Clorens will still meet Niko on the streets of Harlem... that is, Little Holland.

The comrade has mixed feelings. On the one hand, he is happy that Niko left him alive. On the other hand, Clorens lost his business, and this is quite a reason to shoot Niko. Well, what to do with a restless black man? Just finish the unfinished business!

Delivery for Jacob

When Jacob develops sufficient respect for Niko (and this will happen after the mission “Shadow”), he will not mind hiring us as a courier. The product is specific, so chases, shootouts and things like that are not excluded. Many missions have a time limit, and almost all of them will have the goods hidden in an old junk car, so it makes sense to have a fast car at the ready.

The main problem with the passage is that the tasks follow in random order. But when Niko gets into the car, he will be told where to go, and we will be guided by our destination. So...

Beachwood City. Having picked up the “parcel” in the car, drive to your destination. The buyer is waiting in the garage, and he won't wait long.

Cerveza Heights. The task has no time limit, but Niko will be attacked by a rival gang. You need to get rid of five bandits.

These are the cars Little Jacob tries to sell us.

East Island City. Time is running out, and you need to get to your destination across the city. The problem is that the buyer is not waiting where he is shown on the map, but in a tunnel underground. You can enter the tunnel through the entrance in the east.

Meadows Hills. Ambush! Ambush again! There will be five enemies. First of all, shoot at those who get out of the car.

Meadows Park. Another task where an ambush awaits you. There will be four enemies.

Meadows Park Towers. For this mission, it is advisable to have a fast car on hand, since an ambush is expected - and this time not a bandit, but a police one. When things go wrong, jump into the car and get rid of the two stars.

Outlook Park. And again there will be an ambush - there will be five bandits. But it will be easier to fight if you park the car across the tunnel. It will turn out to be a kind of improvised barricade.

Schottler. The task is limited in time, and the saw is far away, so it is very advisable to quickly get into a fast car. Having reached the place under the bridge, hand over the goods to the right person, and the task will be completed.

Steinway. Another timed task, but this time not particularly difficult. No ambushes - regular delivery.

Willis. And again you have to get out from under the watchful eye of the police. Niko will get two stars, but you're in a fast car, and you know how to evade a chase, right?

For your information: Only in the last mission from Jacob will the drugs be placed in a decent car, and not in an old wreck.

Most Wanted

If Niko somehow miraculously ended up in a police car, he has the opportunity to carry out tasks for the police. They come in two types: regular crime suppression and the destruction of the city's most wanted bandits. Standard police work is based on a random number generator. And criminals are more interesting. The wanted list will include those bandits who are on the same island as you. They won't give you money for dirty work, but some bandits will share wads of dollars after death. The police will not turn a blind eye to your outrages, but after successful completion of the mission, the accumulated “stars” will be removed.

Let's see which bandits are who and how to deal with them.

Alonso Goralski(wanted for burglary). Hiding at the airport with accomplices. You need to get rid of both cars as quickly as possible before they go far.

Antonio Rivette(racket). Hiding with friends at a metro station.

Barry Lamora(human trafficking). He is in company with two “colleagues”. All three will start to run, but the bullets, of course, will quickly catch up with them.

Bert Recker(drug trafficking). Hiding in a car junkyard with friends. There's no escape from you. However, you need to be wary of the dense fire at the entrance.

Christophe Majonvich(wanted for car theft - oh, colleague!). Hiding in a large company in a multi-story warehouse.

Danny Hatmaker(arms trade). Hiding on the factory grounds in a small company of bandits.

Darren Covey(evasion of alimony payments). They are waiting for you in the garage. Long distances on this mission will allow you to use a sniper rifle.

Fernando Tisdel(crossing the street in the wrong place). There are four bandits, they are sitting in a car and trying to leave. The submachine gun is your best friend in this mission.

Freddie Paparo(espionage for Puerto Rico). Another car race, but this time the bandits will desperately shoot back.

Frederick Harrison(theft of agricultural machinery). This one is hiding on an old picturesque overpass, with many stairs and convenient spots for sniper shooting.

Glenn Lushbaugh(kidnapping). There will be a car chase with shooting (mostly on your part).

Jimmy Kand(banditry). Without question, the most original task of all. On the second floor of one of the X-shaped buildings in Harlem, Jimmy is passed out on the floor. I don’t think I need to tell you what to do.

Juan Jaimo(slander). This one knows where to have a good time - he hangs out with his motorcycle friends in Times Square, otherwise known as Star Junction. There will be a motorcycle chase ahead.

Keenan Burdette(armed robbery). Hiding in a large parking lot in a large group. There is a high probability that the police will come running to shoot. If this happens, don't flash and the police will switch Aggro to the bandits.

Leo Brodell(trade in potent drugs). The battle will take place in an apartment building with all the ensuing consequences: unexpected jumps from around the corner, ambushes and the likely loss of a fair amount of health. Leo himself is waiting for you on the roof.

Lino Friddell(fled from the scene of the accident). Lino and his friends will not shoot back, but will rush into a narrow alley. However, a police car will pass behind them - it’s been verified.

Marty Boldenow(hooliganism). You will find it near the factory buildings. You should shoot with caution, as there are plenty of tanks with an explosive mixture all around. Do you have grenades or RPGs with you? So use them first.

Maxwell Colin(fake bonds). Not armed. He will try to escape in a rather ancient car. If the car malfunctions but does not explode, Maxwell and his friend will run away in different directions, using the DM (two birds with one stones) method.

Mervyn Eskuhen(production and sale of drugs). Mervyn is an interesting character, since he does not travel on foot or in a car, but in as many as two, and even a Hummer. Passengers will shoot back, but don’t yawn either.

Noel Katsuda(hijacking of a fishing boat). The battle is not the most convenient - open space, enemies shoot from afar, the sounds of gunfire can attract the cops. Niko will need accuracy.

Phil Bakerra(illegal immigration). He will try to escape in two pickup trucks, and their passengers will not reach into their pockets for a gun. While the cars are leaving the garage, it is quite easy to shoot them with an RPG or a machine gun.

Preston Pekinowski(carding). A credit card burglar and his retinue live in an old parking lot, exposed to almost all winds. If you wait too long, Preston will try to escape in a car. But no one is stopping you from immediately disabling cars in the parking lot, right?

Rodney McEniry(extortion). This time there are no chases, no multi-story buildings and bridges. Fighting in a small alley will be easy - especially if you use the car as cover.

Rodrigo Stavnes(selling counterfeit money). A company of four bandits near the park will try to split up. Shoot those who are closer, then catch up with the remaining two.

Scott Gazowski(organization of a criminal group). Scott and his four buddies are well armed, so I recommend using a sniper rifle if possible to thin out the enemies.

Sergi Zerbin(theft). Another team of well-armed bandits. I advise you to remain mobile and, if possible, not get out of the car. In some cases, you can jump on a car to shoot a couple of enemies from afar.

Sean Kukichi(murder committed by a group of persons in conspiracy). A friend loves sports cars, and a police car can hardly be called one, so the chase will not be easy. I advise you to immediately open fire and disable the car while it is within shooting range.

Simon Nashley(piracy). Simon has many friends, and they all live in the area of ​​the Pier 45 establishment on several floors. Fortunately, none of them will try to escape. All in your hands.

Tommy Frankovich(fraud). He will suddenly jump out of the alley, and Niko can just as unexpectedly knock him off his motorcycle with a bumper. If this doesn’t work out, you can kill Tommy in the usual way - with a submachine gun.

Tyler Pickrel(beatings). Tyler is alone, unarmed and will try to escape on foot. Actually, here it is.

There can be no passage here, since not only the tasks, but also the cars in them are randomly mixed. Obviously, if it’s easier to steal a car in front of the amazed owners, then Niko will be easily pushed off the motorcycle. It is also worth knowing that:

• If there are cops walking slowly down the street nearby, you should wait until they move further away.

  If the car you need is being searched by the police, they may have time to detain Niko before he moves off.

  If there is no one near the car, most likely, two stars will shine on you as soon as you climb into the car.

And remember that money for each delivered car and motorcycle will be paid depending on condition. For an unbeaten one, as they say, they give two broken ones.

Cars for Stevie

Stevie is Brucie's friend, the one who gave us the car for racing. He is also interested in stolen cars, and he will also give tasks in the form of text - although not by email, but through a short message service on the phone. The difference is that Stevie will only name the make of the car, but will not tell you where to look for it. What to do? What should I do? Of course, use the map, which should be somewhere nearby on the pages of the magazine. As before, the money for each car depends on what condition it is in, but even if you have “kissed” other cars several times, a repainting shop will save you.

In total, Stevie will request thirty different cars, and after the last of them solemnly rolls into his garage, Niko will be able to calmly grab cars on the street, take them to Stevie and receive hard currency in return.

Contract killings

Mr. Fixer succinctly informs about the order: the fee is normal, look for the victim there.

The mysterious character Fixer ("The One Who Solves Problems") will contact Niko shortly after he rides to his heart's content on the back of a Triad truck in the Truck Hustle mission. Niko will receive nine assassination orders through a phone booth in the south of Alderni. It will be marked on the map with a crosshair symbol.

The order of the tasks is random, and almost all of them are not particularly difficult. Almost.

For your information: Having accepted the mission, go through the barrier behind the fence - there is a bulletproof vest and a weapon that should help in completing the task. It happened that RPGs were also planted.

Bailing Out for Good

The target is a person leaving the police station. There are several different ways to cope with the task: kill him from a distance with a sniper rifle, hit him with a car, or wait until he gets into the car, catch up and use a submachine gun.

Dead End

Your target is driving a Hummer. An RPG will make the battle much easier - some of the bandits will be out of action immediately, and those who come running in response to the noise will be much easier to deal with. There will be about a dozen enemies in total.

Derelict Target

The nastiest mission of all - you have to simply storm a multi-story dilapidated house filled with a bunch of gas cylinders. The problem is that the house is full of cracks through which enemies will pour lead on Niko. But the worst thing is that the police are very likely to become interested in the shooting.

What can I say? Try using a sniper weapon to get rid of at least a few bandits. If Niko grabs a star or loses too much health, leave - shake off the police tail and replenish your supplies.

One of the options is to use a helicopter: land on the roof and take the building from top to bottom. It's much more convenient and safer. And if the police arrive, they will first begin to fight the bandits on the lower floors.

Hook, Line, and Sinker

How to get to a victim drifting on a boat far from the shore? It’s easy to get on another boat, which is very conveniently located at the pier. Take out your submachine gun while moving, catch up and destroy the target. An RPG will do too.

Industrial Action

There will be no surprises at the refinery. At first, the enemies are on duty on bridges high above the ground - there they are open to all winds and sniper rifles. When the battle begins, several enemies will kindly come down to you, on the sinful earth.

Migration Control

There is a sniper rifle. There is a helicopter - and a victim who should not fly away on it. If you don't have time to shoot, take out the RPG. What could be easier! The most important thing in this task is not to lose your way and not enter a tunnel by mistake, so as not to lose precious time.

R.U.B. Down

The “wholesale” target is a whole gang of bikers. Need I say that you should deal with them quickly before they disperse in different directions? The ideal weapon is an RPG. One shot and it's done. A grenade will also do.

Theoretically, you can even cope with a submachine gun, if you sit in a fast car and ride motorcycles back and forth while shooting.

Taken Out

Your victim - a woman - sits in the back seat of a limousine, guarded by two cars of thugs. If you have an RPG, the task is trivial. If not, you'll have to shoot a lot. It is advisable not to get out of the car, since the police will most likely arrive at the sound of shooting.

The yacht is rocking on the waves, and there is a chance that a sniper rifle bullet will fly off into the milk. Should I take an RPG?

Water Hazard

Sniper mission. We take the rifle, aim and execute it with one shot. The victim sits on board a yacht two steps from the shore. If there are cops wandering around you, two stars are guaranteed, so keep your car ready.





That's all the side quests! What to do now? Someone will start shooting pigeons, someone will start looking for places of unique jumps, get a job as a taxi driver or try to win races under the patronage of Brucie. It doesn't matter. The main thing is that the game is defeated completely and irrevocably!

Despite the wide variety of tasks in GTA4, random encounters with various characters in the most unexpected places in Liberty City are of particular interest. The ability to interact with random passers-by is another successful discovery by the developers, which allows you to take a step towards realism, enliven the city, and add variety to the gameplay. Perhaps the idea will find its way into GTA5. Most random encounters are closely related to the main plot of GTA4. Most often they occur after completing tasks. Places where you can find random passers-by are marked on the map with a blue figure of a man, which appears only a short distance from the target. Some characters will appear on the streets several times, others will prefer to limit themselves to just one meeting with Niko. There are no special rewards for fulfilling requests, except maybe money, additional difficulties and a few percent in the total treasury of 100% completion of the game. Closer to the end, a letter will be sent to your email inbox from Chiliad8888 with the subject “World of Enlightenment Awaits”, which will contain a link to a site where you can view maps showing how to find all the pigeons, make all the jumps, take weapons and first aid kits...
