Tactical Boss Mission Strategies
1. Demolition Man (Avery Carrington RC Mission)
The most notorious mission in 3D gaming history tasks Tommy with placing 4 explosive charges inside a four-story construction building using an RC Goblin helicopter within a strict 7-minute timer.
- •The Secret Pre-Clear Trick: The timer does not begin until you pick up the first dynamite barrel from the rear of the van.
- •Fly the unarmed helicopter into the building ahead of time. Use the rotating blades as a weapon to slice up the construction guards and security watchdogs.
- •Pick up the first barrel and fly straight to the Top Floor (Floor 4) first. Working top-down prevents stairs navigation under panic when the countdown timer turns red.
2. The Driver (Malibu Club Heist Recruitment)
Tommy must defeat Hillary King in a four-wheel street race. Hillary drives a top-speed Sabre Turbo while Tommy is assigned an underpowered Sentinel.
- •Corner Defense: On the long coastal boulevard, draft directly behind Hillary's bumper.
- •Right before the turn onto Prawn Island, execute a PIT maneuver by nudging his rear quarter-panel with your front bumper. Hillary will spin out into the palm trees, buying you a 15-second lead.
3. Keep Your Friends Close (The Finale)
Sonny Forelli arrives with a mafia hit squad to repossess Tommy's empire.
- •Phase 1: Safe-Room Defense: Sonny's goons will attempt to steal cash bundles from the office vault. Stay crouched on the mezzanine staircase armed with the SPAS-12 Shotgun or Minigun to mow down approaching mobsters.
- •Phase 2: Lance Vance: Pursue Lance to the roof helipad. Avoid running directly into his line of fire; toss grenades behind his cover crates to eliminate his bodyguards.
- •Phase 3: Sonny Forelli: Sonny stands in the main foyer armed with an assault rifle. Equip the Minigun or Rocket Launcher and eliminate him within three seconds from the balcony railing.

💡Frequently Asked Questions
How do you beat the Demolition Man RC helicopter mission without a numpad?▼
Use W/S for altitude and A/D for steering. To conserve time, fly into the construction building before picking up the first bomb to eliminate aggressive workers using the rotor blades, then deliver bombs starting from the top floor down.
Which business assets are required to unlock the final story missions?▼
You must own the Vercetti Estate and complete asset mission lines for at least 6 commercial properties. The Print Works is mandatory because it supplies the counterfeit plates necessary to trigger the final showdown.
Where are the best Hidden Package rewards located?▼
Reaching 80 Hidden Packages spawns the Sea Sparrow amphibious helicopter at the Vercetti Estate, and 100 packages spawns the military Hunter attack helicopter at Fort Baxter.
How do I easily beat 'The Driver' race against Hillary King?▼
Hillary drives a fast Sabre Turbo while you are stuck in a heavy Sentinel. Tap his rear fender right as the race starts to induce a PIT maneuver spinout, or block his lane before the tight downtown alley corners.
