No matter how hard any of these missions are, none of them are harder than dropping bombs on the speedboats with the RC plane in Vice City. That's the hardest mission in the franchise.
@@robertclark2253 MUCH easier said than done. These guys will be shooting at your RC plane while you attempt to do this and can easily shoot you out of the sky. The men on the boats will also be shooting at you so you are definitely taking a risk getting so close to the targets.
"Expresso-2-go" is hands down the hardest mission in my opinion. Everything else is pretty much a cake walk or moderately difficult, but that mission is something else. If only they gave you like 5 more seconds to complete it.
The PS4 version that was released before the definitive edition is the same as the PS2 version and I've recorded and uploaded a video on how to disable the timer .
Glad you completed it, taxi would have been my choice when i was young, since it's stable and average in every way. Sometimes the computers will crash a lot. So getting a car that won't roll over can be a good choice.
Actually..a Banshee will always be parked at the Easy Credit Autos,Harwood,you can steal it from there & bring it to the race point. (Before unlocking Staunton Island,this is the only way you can get a sports car in Portland)
The hardest part of this game, is the "Paramedic" mission, you'll hate this game while playing 'till level 12... 'til you start beating it like a pro on the 1st try. In fact, the game isn't particularly difficult at all; you definitely don't want to play GTA 2 if you think Grand Theft Auto III is difficult (or "Tightened Thrice" mod for 3rd GTA, same thing). Some missions depend on knowledge of the map, or knowledge of workarounds (for example: "Pay 'n' Spray", Saint Mark's bypass, and so on), and of course on skill. If you play through the game, let's say, the 4th time, you'll no longer be surprised by the difficulty of “Espresso-2-Go!” or others missions, 'cos you'll almost know by memory how to complete all missions.
Just beat this game again for like the 4th time xD I love the challenging arcadey style of the mission design compared to every other GTA that came after. The only mission that gave me trouble was waka gashira wipeout. The order which you kill the guards is important, one of them has an assault rifle who'll rip your car to shreds, you need to kill him first. Took me a few attempts to figure it out.
Yeah that mission has gotten me plenty of times. Since you can't get out the car. Sometimes it's luck if you get there quick enough to take that guy out first.
What I enjoy the most in this game is the mob influence and focus on rival gangs that the others don't come close enough to (Vice City had very uninteresting gangs and while it was great in San Andreas being able to wipe a gang out entirely is no fun.) Plus the overlap of so many Sopranos actors lending their voices takes it even further, I love to think I'm taking jobs for Ralph and the Shah of Iran.
Not to mention the cartel cruiser is the weakest vehicle in the entire game. Hop out of the car on the level below Kenji and blast him with the rocket launcher from below.
You didn't play 2D GTAs then, GTA London 1969 is the hardest ever and makes GTA 3 look like a piece of cake (despite it being harder than any of its sequels).
I think expresso 2 go is by far the most difficult mission in GTA 3. I had to try at least 4 times before I got it cause I always ran out of time since the targets were not traced on the map.
That is the main cause for me failing the mission as well. It's a lot of trial and error. The map in general wasn't the best on GTA 3 but it was pretty revolutionary at the time.
@@trapez77 absolutely, this was the first thing I did when I first played this mission, makes it so much easier because you can start out in Portland, then head to Staunton, and then get the last two (or is it 3?) In Shoreside Vale with time to spare.
Two things that really got me on edge in this game. M16 wielding npc(s) and When FBI arrives. My banshee be looking real fire🔥towards the next intersection lol
You know you are in trouble when you hear an M16 being fired. I did used to enjoy using the wanted level cheat to try survive against the FBI, they are so aggressive.
I agree but not when you first play. Your first instinct is to get out once you see the pimp gets out and thenhe blows you away with the shotgun. 😂😂😂 it catches new players by surprise.
Yeah as he says in the video the shotgun is crazy powerfull in this game, without armour u die in 2 hits, also as this is early in game, new players unlikely to get an uzi yet with enough ammo
Big'n'Veiny mission by El Burro is also hard. You have only 45 seconds to collect all the magazines all over Portland. Road traffic in the GTA 3 is insane, you will crashing every time you drive faster
For the mission SAM, if you time when you blow up the plane, the items will fall in the water near the boat so don't even have to kill the Mafia goons except for the one on the bottom level, which I took care of right when I got there. I had a car parked on the dock facing the exit so when I got the boat back to the dock, I landed the boat on the dock itself and then hopped in the car that was right there and the police never caught up to me. I did the same thing as video for the Grand Theft Aero mission. In the construction site, to the left of where you enter the little maze with enemies, you go up to second floor and can snipe several enemies. Also there's health AND armor refill there which helps get through the little maze leading to the elevator
The game was very fabulous well its the only GTA game with no pause map. Other things that I hate about GTA 3 is after you kill Salvatore St Mark's becomes dangerous with the Mafia gang members with shotguns, no motorcycles, you die when you fall in the water, and no helicopters and planes well the dodo is hard to stay in the air with no wings on it.
I disagree I think the hardest missions of GTA 3 are all later game missions. I can't name them now but they're definetely harder than Pump-Action-Pim, Turismo (which is easy due to the braindead AI) and Bomb da base (for me it took 2 tries).
I vividly remember when the game came out and I was like 6 or 7, stuck on bomb da base for daysss. It was so hard. Still remember the night when I finally got it but it was thanks to my older brother lol. GTA 3 hands down had the hardest missions.
san andreas missions are harder for me because of it's variety. in gta 3, you need to be good at only driving and shooting while in san andreas, you need to be good at driving, shooting, flying, swimming, riding a motorcycle, dancing and more
pro tip: do the hidden packages and the vigilante missions before the missions of each island. hidden packages makes the missions with shooting easier while vigilante missions makes the missions with wanted level easier
Number 1 (bomb the base act ii) is actually really easy with the pill to slow down time. If you drop off 8 Ball and run back to the other side of that building you go behind to get him out of the car there is a pill there. You can then run up the stairs on the side of the building and take your time sniping everyone. I only learned this a few days ago though and definitely hated this mission as a kid.
The one with the suicide bombers is easy if you drive there in a truck, leave the truck near the wall, blow it it up and then get into the car triggering the bombers. Next you just run back to the blown up truck, jump on it from the front and the bombers cant really get you, I jumped on the wall and just shot them.
Espresso 2 go this is where the Bulletproof Patriot comes in handy scout the locations of the stalls now ram them the patriot is surprisingly quick and can take a lot of damage .
Wait wait wait wait wait! How do you unlock the handlebar moustache for Claude?! Haha Great video I eventually managed to complete GTA3 on iPad believe it or not. As a youth I also couldn’t get past bomb da base, 8ball was constantly getting blasted due to my poor analog stick abilities. Looking back I also had very little determination aged 11, I swapped it for SSX for about a year which was far easier and delivered instant gratification! Sorry I’ll leave you alone now! Look after yourself man 👍
This was recorded on the PC version where claude has 2 different outfits. But yeah the sniper is really horrible to aim with in GTA 3. I find it's a bit easier with a mouse in fact i had to specifically change to using a mouse for bomb da base because i could not get past it using my controller.
It was a style choice i made at the time, to have a transition cut scene between each number. I am glad the video was still good. I haven't really done it like that since.
I hate number 4. With a passion. LOL. Also bomb da base act 2 at number one? It wasn't that hard when i played it back recently and i think there are harder ones than that, but it is your opinion :P
You must be better than me with a sniper rifle. I had to put in a naughty bit of triva referring to your love of Ray. I know you would probably put that mission at 1. Thanks as well for checking out the video
Had a go at playing this on the Definitive Edition, it's been ok so far but I did get frustrated at one of the missions (I can't remember which one though)
I do think they have fixed some of the bugs which is good. I hope you enjoy the game. It will be interesting to see which ones are easier with the newer controls. Maybe some are harder than before.
I only have vague memories of this game. Did a lot of ambulance missions. Exploded a lot. The car park near my spawn point had one of the fastest cars. Loved it but I doubt I could go back and do it again. I recall lots of frustrated sessions although I did complete the game.
pro tip: do the hidden packages and vigilante missions of each island before the story missions. most people get frustrated because they've skipped them
I was stuck on bomb the base forever. I found any GTA mission with first person aiming to be frustrating. I was playing on PS2 and aiming always felt off.
Park a vehicle right on top of 8 Ball now get on the roof ans snipe all the guards . When they're all dead 8 Ball will glitch onto the ship and blow it up . This works on PS2 and both PS4 original and definitive edition . There's also an alternative way block the ramp with any vehicle you can jump on take out the first 2 guards jump onto the vehicle then onto the ramp and just shoot anyone that moves with an UZI .
I will have to do a list for vice city at some point. Although i have actually never fully completed vice city. I got stuck, but i would say i loved driving around on vice city more than 3. GTA 3 is just so groundbreaking for the time.
Just beat the game for the first time ever on PS4… the Exchange took a me a couple events. Espresso 2 Go i scouted every stand before the time started running… Waka Gashira Wipeout I rushed that one was easy as well as the bomb/ sniper mission on 1#… horror for me was the one where u shoot down the todo and collect the packages
here is some useful tips. exchange: get all the hidden packages and go to your safehouse before going to the dam. using the rocket launcher and the sniper makes that mission very easy. sam: complete the vigilante missions. use the bribes in front of your safehouse to get away from the cops
I find taking down the 9 spank stand easy, just drive around until you locate the stands before taking any of them down, that way you know where they are.
That is a much better way of doing it. I just remember back when i didn't know the map too well. It was a mission i would get stuck on, as a lot of liberty city ends up looking similar. But it is a bit of a trial and error mission still.
@@venomousfringe Keeping hold of that patriot is key for a lot of missions. And if you haven't gotten all the hidden packages from saint marks it's the only safe way to drive through there.
I started replaying this game after getting 100% on San Andreas and I just can’t do it. It’s so frustrating and the controls are a nightmare, not to mention the battle system is horrible. I just don’t have it in me to do this all. So far I’ve made it to Staunton Island but I think I’m okay with stopping before I’m too invested.
Grand Theft Auto tip use a fast cart o get to the target vehicle in Bedford Point and instead of wasting time looking for another fast use the blista near the respray shop to get the other 2 target vehicles , the blista should respawn after delivery of the 2nd vehicle .
Evidence Dash tip after collection of the first piece of evidence get your vehicle resprayed now you can take as long as you want without police interference . Plaster Blaster tip use a heavy vehicle such as a linerunner or if you've done Arms Shortage and bought a rocket launcer use it to kill the target . Drop In The Ocean tip collect the packages and go to Asuka's dock get in the nearest vehicle and head up the road take the first right turn and head for the respray shop after go back to Donald .
It's weird that i never remembered it being hard but when i played through it again it took so many attempts. The annoying thing is you only get one shot with the rocket launcher and if you miss you have to go all the way back and start again.
Its miraculous how the human brain works . Your number 1 spot mission for hardest mission in gta 3 was not as hard as the exchange . I think theyre both tough . Yet the exchange for me felt like it took me days to beat . I would give it a few tries every night to no avail . Until i realized that theres numerous was to pass this mission . I passd it for the first time by using m16 and snipers to clear the run way of cartels. Then casually eliminate the rest on the stairs . To finally scoop the rocket launcher ammo up and time that shot with all the time i need . Theres so much fuckery in the exchange. For future playthroughs of gta 3 i know to equip the tank for that mission.
Been playing the Steam version the past week or two. Bomb Da Base, Act II is definitely easier on PC (or a Steam Deck in my case) EXCEPT if you're using the Classic Axis Mod! If you try to use a scoped weapon with this "free cam" mod enabled, you will get stuck in the ground and be unable to fire. It's an annoyance most of the time, but it makes this mission impossible
Waka Gashira Wipe-out do Ray's missions up to and including Arms Shortage so you can buy a rocket launcher from Phil . Drive a Cartel Cruiser to Donald after the cut-scene go to the floor under the roof of the parking lot get out of the vehicle and using the rocket launcher aim and fire in Kenji's direction if he doesn't die several of his men will now just drive to the roof run him over then get out of there .
1 Payday for ray 2 Bomb da base act ii 3 grand theft auto 4 The pick up 5 mike lips last lunch 6 traids and trbulations 7 blow fish 8 Farewell chunky lee chong 9 the getaway 10 under survilleance
Nice list, quite a few we agree on as well. Are you looking forward to the GTA trilogy remaster? It will be interesting to see if the missions are just as hard or if changes will be made.
you don't know how to play this game. you are supposed to finish side missions first. if you did them before those missions, they would become pretty easy. 10. get 20 hidden packages and drive by the diablos 9. drive by the guards get away to paint spray come back and repeat this process until all the guards die 8. just get the banshee or bullet proof vehicle of ray's 7. complete the vigilante first and use bribes in front of your safehouse to get away from the cops 6. collect all the hidden packahes and use the rocket launcher 5. collect enough hidden package to use grenades in the construction site 4. get a fast car and wait for the traffic instead of crashing your car. if you don't know the route, look at the road signs 3. collect all the hidden packages and get the rocket launcher. get a fast car, cruise around the map until all targets are shown on the minimap. use rocket launcher to destroy the targets to prevent your car from damaging 2. collect all the hidden packages and go to your safehouse before going to dam. collect all the weapons and use rocket launcher and sniper rifle to kill the colombians honorable 1. use an ambulance to damage the securicar easily honorable 2. do the mission before the triads get hostile against you honorable 3. collect at least 50 hidden packages and collect all the weapons in front of your safehouse. if you get low on health, just go to the hospital and replenish your health or go to your safehouse to get body armor 1. 8ball doesn't start to rush into the ship until you kill one colombian. before shooting, zoom in with your sniper and look at where all the colombians are located. the real most difficult mission is salvatore called a meeting because hidden packages, vigilante or other side missions can't help you with that mission
Decoy tip drive into the underground tunnels or the airport the the tanks won't be able to reach you and you you can drive around to rundown the timer .
Bomb Da Base park a vehicle right on top of 8 Ball this should give you enough time to kill the guards on the ship 8 Ball will now glitch onto the ship and blow it up .
Park a vehicle on top of 8 Ball this will trap him now get on the roof and snipe the guards when they're all dead 8 Ball will glitch onto the ship and blow it up .
Say what you want but making money in this game is the easiest. The missions reward us handsomely, making us feel like a real killer and the guy that gets the job done. Whereas in other gtas you get paid very less for completing a mission. Like who would pay 1000$ for assassination. It should atleast be 10k if not more. Only a handful of missions are extremely rewarding. Also in gta 3 you make money from simply bumping into cars 😂😂😂. Like how is that not awesome. Loved this game but yeah some of its missions are pretty tough.
Oh yeah and the thing is there isn't really much to spend money on in GTA 3. Apart from ammo and spraying your car. It can seem a bit weird to get so much money for some missions. Like picking up misty get's you $5000 she was only at the local hospital. I just love this game and i feel like a lot of people write it off because some of the controls are not as smooth as modern games. But it was very ground-breaking for the time.
You're quite right thank you for pointing out how awful i am. It is an older video, it is a stinger clip to show that we are moving onto the next number in the list. In hindsight using a clip from the mission or cutscene from the relevant mission would be what i would do now. As for my narration. I can only apologise that i have an annoying voice and i am not witty or intelligent enough to come up with substantial and entertaining dialogue
That's fair enough. It is one of my older videos. But 13 minutes isn't that long. Compare that to video essay's people make. I appreciate the feedback but i will ignore it.
Kingdom come was a bitch until I stumbled across the tank in the northern most part of Staunton Island. It'll be at a military base . Just use the tank for kingdom come . Also no funny shit use the tank for the exchange too . Thank me later.
No matter how hard any of these missions are, none of them are harder than dropping bombs on the speedboats with the RC plane in Vice City. That's the hardest mission in the franchise.
Those RC plane missions are horrendous.
The controls really do make that mission much harder than it should be.
I beat that mission on first try last week lmao.
*Laughs in Zero's missions*
Use the plane as a car and ram into everyone on the dock one by one now fly the plane into the boats and blow them up .
@@robertclark2253 MUCH easier said than done. These guys will be shooting at your RC plane while you attempt to do this and can easily shoot you out of the sky. The men on the boats will also be shooting at you so you are definitely taking a risk getting so close to the targets.

espresso has reasonable time limit.
It was hard to accomplish the first couple of times but then it becomes easy.. I can do it first try now.
Espresso 2 go let give people a timer and no map location what prick thought that one up serious fuck that mission
@@michazmuda1477 The original ps2 version didn't have a overview map on the start menu that's what made the timer seem short.
The PS4 version that was released before the definitive edition is the same as the PS2 version and I've recorded and uploaded a video on how to disable the timer .
After failing Turismo for almost 7 times using the Mafia Sentinel, I just passed it....with a taxi...
FML
Glad you completed it, taxi would have been my choice when i was young, since it's stable and average in every way. Sometimes the computers will crash a lot. So getting a car that won't roll over can be a good choice.

Cop car is good too. Throw the siren on and all the cars get out of your way in crash into the competition 😂😂😂
I also struggled with "Turismo" like 5 or 6 times, I even tried using the Diablo Stallion, but I won the race....using a Bobcat!!! 😅
@@VishnooChandra an alternative way to use sports car that founded during Vigilante or Firefighter mission & my favorite is Stinger (not Yakuza)

That is very sneaky.
I find that mission easy anyways but thats a old tatic that was actually in the players guide that I bought wayback in 2002
It was because of that mission, that i never saw Staunton Island until i picked the game back up at 25. 17 goddamn years.
Yep, i beat it that mission with the pill, otherwise i would never ever be able to complete it
That mission when you got to get to them pay phones
Use a fast car like a banshee or yakuza stinger both are found near Asuka's place .

Park a vehicle right on top of 8 Ball now get on the roof ans snipe all the guards . When they're all dead 8 Ball will glitch onto the ship and blow it up . This works on PS2 and both PS4 original and definitive edition . There's also an alternative way block the ramp with any vehicle you can jump on take out the first 2 guards jump onto the vehicle then onto the ramp and just shoot anyone that moves with an UZI .

I got stuck, but i would say i loved driving around on vice city more than 3. GTA 3 is just so groundbreaking for the time.
@@ClassicGamerX11 gta vice city is quite hard,but I don't think to the extent of some of gta 3s missions,both are great games though and very fun
9:16 and the mission "Rigged to blow" by D-ice
Just beat the game for the first time ever on PS4… the Exchange took a me a couple events. Espresso 2 Go i scouted every stand before the time started running… Waka Gashira Wipeout I rushed that one was easy as well as the bomb/ sniper mission on 1#… horror for me was the one where u shoot down the todo and collect the packages
here is some useful tips.
exchange: get all the hidden packages and go to your safehouse before going to the dam. using the rocket launcher and the sniper makes that mission very easy.
sam: complete the vigilante missions. use the bribes in front of your safehouse to get away from the cops
Payday for ray and that last Diablo mission I thought were harder than half of these entries
That’s fair personally I don’t have many problems with payday for Ray. But without knowing the map well i can see it being really difficult.
I have played the whole trilogy this is the hardest game
Oh for sure, out of the trilogy GTA 3 is harder. Mostly due to it's controls. But still great fun to play.
Thank god it's not just me who feels Bomb Da Base p2 is the hardest.
Kingdom Come run out of the parking lot take the staircase to your right and throw everything you have at them .
1.S.A.M.
2.espresso 2 go
3.plaster blaster
4.big n veiny
5.grand theft aero
6.the exchange
7.turismo
8.bomb da base act 2
9.liberator
10.waka gashira wipeout
Salvatore give so hard missions
At least you get to assassinate him in retaliation for his hard missions
I find taking down the 9 spank stand easy, just drive around until you locate the stands before taking any of them down, that way you know where they are.
That is a much better way of doing it.
I just remember back when i didn't know the map too well.
It was a mission i would get stuck on, as a lot of liberty city ends up looking similar.
But it is a bit of a trial and error mission still.
I always completed Rays mission where you get the Bulletproof Patriot and just ram everything. Comes in handy with the friggin shotguns from the mafia
@@venomousfringe Keeping hold of that patriot is key for a lot of missions. And if you haven't gotten all the hidden packages from saint marks it's the only safe way to drive through there.
pump action pimp can be done under 20 seconds
The hardest for me is the rampage on shoreside vale when you have to snipe heads off.
I started replaying this game after getting 100% on San Andreas and I just can’t do it. It’s so frustrating and the controls are a nightmare, not to mention the battle system is horrible. I just don’t have it in me to do this all. So far I’ve made it to Staunton Island but I think I’m okay with stopping before I’m too invested.
Im playing through GTA3 atm and I've just done you're number 1. It's not the hardest level but it is a bitch.
Either s.a.m or expresso 2 go was the hardest missions i say expressso to go for me was expresso 2 go i keep trying until I complete it
You forgot grand theft auto and pay day for Ray
Grand Theft Auto tip use a fast cart o get to the target vehicle in Bedford Point and instead of wasting time looking for another fast use the blista near the respray shop to get the other 2 target vehicles , the blista should respawn after delivery of the 2nd vehicle .
Escort Service is a painful mission, exclusively because of the dreadful AI. it’s not about skill, it’s luck.
I do remember playing that mission a few times where the driver of the securicar will literally get himself stuck
Or even manage to flip it over
@@ClassicGamerX11 yea i failed it many times because he kept scraping against the walls or crashing into other cars and building up the damage meter
you can also add "Evidence Dash", "Plaster Blaster", "A Drop In The Ocean" and "Escort Service"
Evidence Dash tip after collection of the first piece of evidence get your vehicle resprayed now you can take as long as you want without police interference .
Plaster Blaster tip use a heavy vehicle such as a linerunner or if you've done Arms Shortage and bought a rocket launcer use it to kill the target .
Drop In The Ocean tip collect the packages and go to Asuka's dock get in the nearest vehicle and head up the road take the first right turn and head for the respray shop after go back to Donald .
My top 3 are:
3. Turismo
2. The Exchange
1. Espresso 2 Go
The mission s.a.m took me 100 fucking tries
It's weird that i never remembered it being hard but when i played through it again it took so many attempts.
The annoying thing is you only get one shot with the rocket launcher and if you miss you have to go all the way back and start again.
Its miraculous how the human brain works . Your number 1 spot mission for hardest mission in gta 3 was not as hard as the exchange . I think theyre both tough . Yet the exchange for me felt like it took me days to beat . I would give it a few tries every night to no avail . Until i realized that theres numerous was to pass this mission . I passd it for the first time by using m16 and snipers to clear the run way of cartels. Then casually eliminate the rest on the stairs . To finally scoop the rocket launcher ammo up and time that shot with all the time i need . Theres so much fuckery in the exchange. For future playthroughs of gta 3 i know to equip the tank for that mission.
pro tip: collect hidden packages first. during the mission, you can visit your safehouse to get body armor, rocket launcher, sniper rifle and m16
Been playing the Steam version the past week or two. Bomb Da Base, Act II is definitely easier on PC (or a Steam Deck in my case) EXCEPT if you're using the Classic Axis Mod! If you try to use a scoped weapon with this "free cam" mod enabled, you will get stuck in the ground and be unable to fire.
It's an annoyance most of the time, but it makes this mission impossible
5:17 he just did a super jump 😂😂
I did not think Expresso-2-Go was that bad tbh. There are definitely harder missions than that
Escort Service is prob the hardest mission because its so easy for the truck to blow up
Sometimes as well the securicar driver ai is awful and will crash into everything, causing more damage to the vehicle.
Bomb Da Base Act ii was too hard for mr when i was 9 and then give up
And while I was age of 13 I beat the hardest mission and complete all mission
One of the best games ever
Waka Gashira Wipe-out do Ray's missions up to and including Arms Shortage so you can buy a rocket launcher from Phil . Drive a Cartel Cruiser to Donald after the cut-scene go to the floor under the roof of the parking lot get out of the vehicle and using the rocket launcher aim and fire in Kenji's direction if he doesn't die several of his men will now just drive to the roof run him over then get out of there .
1 Payday for ray 2 Bomb da base act ii 3 grand theft auto 4 The pick up 5 mike lips last lunch 6 traids and trbulations 7 blow fish 8 Farewell chunky lee chong 9 the getaway 10 under survilleance
Nice list, quite a few we agree on as well.
Are you looking forward to the GTA trilogy remaster?
It will be interesting to see if the missions are just as hard or if changes will be made.
you don't know how to play this game. you are supposed to finish side missions first. if you did them before those missions, they would become pretty easy.
10. get 20 hidden packages and drive by the diablos
9. drive by the guards get away to paint spray come back and repeat this process until all the guards die
8. just get the banshee or bullet proof vehicle of ray's
7. complete the vigilante first and use bribes in front of your safehouse to get away from the cops
6. collect all the hidden packahes and use the rocket launcher
5. collect enough hidden package to use grenades in the construction site
4. get a fast car and wait for the traffic instead of crashing your car. if you don't know the route, look at the road signs
3. collect all the hidden packages and get the rocket launcher. get a fast car, cruise around the map until all targets are shown on the minimap. use rocket launcher to destroy the targets to prevent your car from damaging
2. collect all the hidden packages and go to your safehouse before going to dam. collect all the weapons and use rocket launcher and sniper rifle to kill the colombians
honorable 1. use an ambulance to damage the securicar easily
honorable 2. do the mission before the triads get hostile against you
honorable 3. collect at least 50 hidden packages and collect all the weapons in front of your safehouse. if you get low on health, just go to the hospital and replenish your health or go to your safehouse to get body armor
1. 8ball doesn't start to rush into the ship until you kill one colombian. before shooting, zoom in with your sniper and look at where all the colombians are located.
the real most difficult mission is salvatore called a meeting because hidden packages, vigilante or other side missions can't help you with that mission
Stuck on espresso 2 go on the definitive edition. Need to try again with a patriot truck
No mention of Gripped?
I did your number 1 hardest mission on my second attempt just saying I think espresso 2 go was the hardest due to timer and no locations
Use the bulletproof patriot to scout the locations when you find them all destroy them with the patriot .
Some of the most chore like missions in a game I ever played. I think I got stuck on the smash the phone booths missions or something like that.
The hardest mission to me it's the "espresso-2-go"
Oh, I thought that Turismo is impossible only for me
How is decoy not on the list
Decoy tip drive into the underground tunnels or the airport the the tanks won't be able to reach you and you you can drive around to rundown the timer .
you forget gangcar-round-up because of the Mafia
Grand theft auto IS hard mision.
Bomb Da Base park a vehicle right on top of 8 Ball this should give you enough time to kill the guards on the ship 8 Ball will now glitch onto the ship and blow it up .
S.A.M destroy the Cartel and the plane on the runway collect the packages go to respray shop in Shoreside then go back to Staunton island .
Hardest mission ''s.a.m.''
Bomb Da Base Act II is easily the hardest and worst mission in the game
Park a vehicle on top of 8 Ball this will trap him now get on the roof and snipe the guards when they're all dead 8 Ball will glitch onto the ship and blow it up .
@@robertclark2253 I feel like I've heard that tip before somewhere but yeah, thanks for the help.
@@awesomecocoapuff99 I have mentioned it in this comment section but that was 10 months ago . I've made a video on this mission as well
@@robertclark2253 just took a look at it. i didn't know you could do it like that. that's perfect. i appreciate that.
@@awesomecocoapuff99 Thanks for watching my video .
For the mission bomb da base just one word: P I L L
For me A drop in the ocean was the hardest and grand theft aero
Say what you want but making money in this game is the easiest. The missions reward us handsomely, making us feel like a real killer and the guy that gets the job done. Whereas in other gtas you get paid very less for completing a mission. Like who would pay 1000$ for assassination. It should atleast be 10k if not more. Only a handful of missions are extremely rewarding. Also in gta 3 you make money from simply bumping into cars 😂😂😂. Like how is that not awesome. Loved this game but yeah some of its missions are pretty tough.
Oh yeah and the thing is there isn't really much to spend money on in GTA 3.
Apart from ammo and spraying your car.
It can seem a bit weird to get so much money for some missions.
Like picking up misty get's you $5000 she was only at the local hospital.
I just love this game and i feel like a lot of people write it off because some of the controls are not as smooth as modern games. But it was very ground-breaking for the time.
except money is useless in 3, later GTAs lets you buy buildings, clothes and all and money becomes useful
i think i failed almost every mission atleast one time
Truly one of the worst GTA i ever played. I'm just tryna get thru thr story so I never gotta play it again
Espresso 2 go, followed by SAM
If you think these missions are hard, you are just weak
Turismo is ridiculous 😢
Pump action pimp IS NOT hard. Neither is bomb da base 2. Neither is Turismo.
Bomb da base 2 is only hard if you have slow reflexs . Its really not that hard
I think the first Ray mission is hard
Wdym i beat Waka gashira wipeout in like 4 mins its so easy
Iplay this Mission and its Not Impossible
I disagree that turismo was hard it was super easy for me
I'm sorry but the narration and editing are annoying. Why does each chapter start with a cutscene that isn't even relevant to the mission?
You're quite right thank you for pointing out how awful i am.
It is an older video, it is a stinger clip to show that we are moving onto the next number in the list.
In hindsight using a clip from the mission or cutscene from the relevant mission would be what i would do now.
As for my narration. I can only apologise that i have an annoying voice and i am not witty or intelligent enough to come up with substantial and entertaining dialogue
@@ClassicGamerX11 Ha, now I just feel bad.. I agreed with the list though tbf.
Ooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooO
Jeez you could of diluted down what you thought of the missions a bit... this video is 13 mins long for gods sake too much talking
That's fair enough. It is one of my older videos.
But 13 minutes isn't that long. Compare that to video essay's people make.
I appreciate the feedback but i will ignore it.
Finally finished this piece of 🐕💩 🤢 in my aethersx2 emulator Android it's a nightmare
Most of these missions aren’t even hard it’s mainly because of the shitty gameplay mechanics, awful AI or car physics
Kingdom come was a bitch until I stumbled across the tank in the northern most part of Staunton Island. It'll be at a military base . Just use the tank for kingdom come . Also no funny shit use the tank for the exchange too . Thank me later.
Beat turismo 2nd try
