# Story

The game takes place in Liberty City, 1998, before the events of Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto taking place in 2000 and 2001. You start out playing as Toni Cipriani, a made man and Capo for the Leone Mafia family last seen in Grand Theft Auto III, returns to the city after a period of "laying low", having killed a "made man" before to the approval of don Salvatore Leone. Upon arrival, however, he finds that the Leones have moved on with business and Toni's position as Capo was seized by another member. Starting again as a low ranking goon of Salvatore's mob, Toni must once again work his way back up to his former position as the second-in-command to the don. You, the player, will assume the role of Tony Cipriani upon arrival in Liberty City.

# Weapons
## Melee Weapons

Pronounced may-lay, these are all the known striking and cutting weapons available in Liberty City.
| Weapon | Description | Find at |
| Knife | A sharp, eight-inch, handheld blade. Better than a fist in a fight, but in this town, you had better find a firearm quickly. Could be useful if you are trying not to draw a lot of attention. | |
| Bat | A baseball bat. Perfect for knocking someone to the ground in a hurry. About three strikes to the body and head, and your opponent will be out. | 1. All hideouts, starting after mission <unknown>. 2. ??? 3. ??? |
| Chisel | Necessity is the mother of invention, and thus we have a weaponized chisel. Apply liberally to the gut and neck. | |

## Pistols

Hand-held fire arms. Classic point, click, and maim technology.
| Weapon | Description | Purchase at |
| 9mm Handgun | Weakest gun available. Much more effective in close range. | Portland Ammu-nation |
| Revolver | A beautiful weapon. Hold on tight and don't move your feet when you squeeze off a round with this gun. Anyone hit with this will be knocked down, most will be killed instantly. If you get your hands on this, you will never want to give it up for the 9mm again. | |

## Reward

## Prerequisites

* Location: Vincenzo's Place, Atlantic Quays, Portland

## Walkthrough

The dealer from Slacker was killed! You have to get revenge. Drive to Chinatown and park in the yellow marker. After you talk to the Sindacco gang member, kill him. Then kill the other two Sindacco members and you have beaten the mission.

## Tips

* If you get the bat outside your hideout then it will be much easier to kill the first Sindacco
* If you get back in your car after you kill the first one then you can just run over the other two but watch out for getting busted by the cops

## Reward

* $500

# Snuff
## Prerequisites

* Missions: Dealing Revenge
* Location: Vincenzo's Place, Atlantic Quays, Portland

## Walkthrough

JD O'Toole wants to be on your side now so why not let him. You have to eliminate his bodyguards. Drive to Ammu-Nation and pick up the pistol that Vincenzo bought for you. Drive to the yellow marker in the construction site. Kill the first two guards that are in front of the tunnel. Then go through the tunnel and kill these two Sindacos too. Keep on going and kill JD's Sindacco bodyguard who is standing by a car. Pick up his phone as proof that you killed him. JD will call and tell you that he was watching you and that you can have that car. Just take the car to the Pay-N-Spray that is convieniently located right next to the construction sight and you have beaten the mission.

## Tips

* Kill the guard with the gun in the first set so you don't lose as much health
* Pick up the guns that the guards drop so you have more bullets
* The car that you get is a Hellenbach GT and probably is the fastest car you will have for a while so you should keep it

## Reward

* $1000

# Smash and Grab
## Prerequisites

* Missions: Slacker
* Location: Vincenzo's Place, Atlantic Quays, Portland

## Walkthrough

You have to rescue some Mafiosi from a messed up heist of a gas station. You need a 4-seater car and luckily there's a Kuruma right outside Vincenzos place. The life of the Mafiosi is a kind of time bar and if you get there too late then you fail the mission. Drive past the cops at the gas station which will give you an automatic 2-star wanted level. Pick them up and try not to get pulled out of your car and get busted while your doing this. Now you have a 3-star wanted level so try to get all the way over to the Pay-N-Spray. This is very hard because you will almost definitely have your tires popped. After you get sprayed just head back to Vincenzo's and drop them off.

## Tips

* Get a heavy duty but still fast car to do this.(A patriot would work well)
* If you could find a police bribe then you could make this mission much easier by tasking away the tire spikes
* You have more than enough time to trade your car for a new one in case you get banged up on the way, so there's no reason not to get in on top shape
* If you get in by rear, it's easier to leave and take the curve to the right as soon as the guys are in. Leaving quickly is the key.

## Reward

* $1000

# Hot Wheels
## Prerequisites

* Missions: Smash and Grab
* Location: Vincenzo's Place, Atlantic Quays, Portland

## Walkthrough

You have to get a car stashed with drugs for Vincenzo. Drive to the car and get in it. Then you find out that Vinnie set you up and that you now have to get out of there. You can either drive to the lockup or to the Pay-N-Spray. Both of them are very far away so its your choice. Either way once you get to the lockup a conversation will ensue and now you know that that creep Vincenzo set you up. Make him pay for it and drive to the crusher. After you crushed it you have beaten the mission.

## Tips

* The choice between the Pay-N-Spray will probably determine the mission so if you are messing up try the other way
* If you get your tires popped then go to the Pay-N-Spray first because you got almost no chance if you try to skip going there

## Reward

* Nothing but you get rid of that creep Vinnie

# Bone Voyeur

One is with a pimp, so kill him and then collect her money.

## Tips

## Tips

* There is an AK-47 a couple roofs over from Jd's. So go up his back stairs and hop a couple roofs until you reach the blue one. The gun is under a water cooler.
* There is really no cover for this mission so body armor would be a real help.

* Once the bomb is on the casino wall it CANNOT be defused.

## Reward

If you have the right car then the Sindaccos will let you in. Park the car in the garage and run out of the casino area. Once it tells you to blow the bomb, do it. Now sit back and watch a nice cutscene of a guy running aroung while on fire.
