All this mission is used by toggling the R3 button. If you have any question or problems you can reach us at the contact us page under misc section.

The taxi driver:

One of the most common vehicles driving around Liberty City is taxis, they are found almost anywhere on the roads and come in 2 different styles. Taxis usually drive past your hideout real often, and actually anywhere around Liberty City, you should find one anywhere you go.

There is 2 types of taxis to start of with on the streets of Liberty City, the most common one is just the basic taxi, yellow nearly all over. The there is also another taxi, this one is less common found roaming around the streets, it is a cabbie, looks like it was modeled after an old fashioned cab. After you complete a certain amount of missions, the Borgnine taxi becomes available to use. It has better handling, speed and also has spikes on the front.

The best city to do the taxi missions is probably Staunton Island, as I have found out that you seem to get paid more for some reason. Usually you should start doing them in Portland and then move on and then do the rest in Staunton.

Once you have triggered the special 'R3' mission by pressing R3, you are now a taxi driver, what you have to do is taking people to their location fast. Pedestrians appear as a green dot above their head. The destination that you have to take them to is the blip on your radar. Usually your next fare is near where you took the last pedestrian.

To do the taxi mission, of course you have to rush to get people to their destination, so this means you will probably have more crashes. If you crash so much, the person will flee in terror, and this means that your car is in bad condition and no one else will want to get in. The only thing I can say here is to end the mission and find a new taxi.

Depending on how far away the destination is, you will get a time limit to get there and drop the pedestrian off, if the time reaches 0, it's mission failed and you have to start again, just press 'R3 again. Time accumulates for all the passengers, and each time you drop someone off at their destination, you are given an extra 10 seconds to find another fare, or even more if you have accumulated time.

Depending on how far you took the person, you will get cash, if the destination is just around the corner, you will get $90, but if it is the opposite side of town, you will get $900. So the farther you take them, the more money you obtain. There is special bonuses for getting to the destination really quickly and for doing a certain amount of fares in a row.

Because GTA3 is a large game, they really can't have 1 million different places where the passenger wants to be dropped off at, so here are some popular locations:

PORTLAND:
-Old school hall
-Greasy Joes Cafe
-Easy credit Autos

STAUNTON:
-Enclosed section near construction
-Stadium in Aspatria

In order to get people to their destination, you need to drive skillfully and carefully trying to keep down the damage on your car. If your side of the road is blocked, then drive on the other side of the road, or the footpath. Sometimes you have to even swerve through cars, but try not to get too much damage. Also, take shortcuts through possible paths as well, the cops don't care if you speed, just get to the destination.

The main reason you do this mission is to get the reward, it's nothing spectacular, but good nonetheless. It is a special taxi called the 'Borgnine'. It becomes available after you have complete 100 fares in any district. The Borgnine taxi is located at Borgnine taxis in Harwood, Portland, near the Head Radio station. The Borgnine taxi is a different color to the others, and looks like the cabbie. It has better speed, handling and also has spikes on the front to eliminate any pedestrian than gets in your way while you are driving like a mad man. I don't believe that you get anything for completing 200 fares. The Borgnine taxi does return after awhile to the exact location.

I believe that when you do the 100 taxi missions, your percentage goes up by 1 percent. So you need to do all of these to get 100% al up on the game. The taxi mission is probably the easiest thing to do, it only requires little driving skills and it will be easily accomplished.

Help sick people: The paramedic

Ambulances are mainly found at the hospital at all cities, but the most common way to find one is to kill a few people and one will come to heal the people, so you just take it. Press ‘R3’ to toggle the paramedic mission.

What you have to do is go around rescuing the injured the patients. Let them get in the ambulance and take them back to the hospital. Each patient picked up gives you more time, and each patient dropped back at
The hospital gives you money, and at the later levels, more time as well.

The ambulance in my opinion is one of the easiest vehicles to roll in the game. To avoid this, don't go flying around the corner at 1 million miles an hour because you will probably lose control and roll.

Make sure you slow down and use R1 to do the cornering; this will avoid crashing into walls and stuff. If your ambulance starts to shake, stop completely or until you can see that it isn't rocking any more. Be careful when going down hills as well, because once again, control can be easily lost and cause the ambulance to roll.

Most people like to do it in Portland, but there it is easier to roll because the surface of the city isn't flat, but if you do it in Staunton, the surface is really flat. But the hospital in Staunton is harder to get into that Portland, oh well, there is a lot of pros and cons about this, so choose your own city.

The sick people on your map are the green blips, and the hospital is the other magenta blip. Once you have rescued the patient, bring him/her to the hospital. Note that more than one person can be transported at one time.

You start with Ambulance level one, and once you rescue the person and take them back to the hospital, it now becomes Ambulance level 2. Each level has one more person than the last, so for example; Ambulance level 1 has 1 person, ambulance level 2 has 2 people, ambulance level 10 has 10 people.

Now, note the following thing, the ambulance can only hold 3 people at one time, so here is my strategy: On the first 3 levels, go around and collect all the patients and then take them back to the hospital. When you get to the 4th + levels, you will need to use some strategy. If there is someone really close to the hospital, go collect him or her and quickly race back there. Also, if the hospital is on the way to another Patient, make a short stop off there and drop your load off. It isn't good at all to just go around getting 1 sick person all the time and then taking them back, get them in groups of 3 if the patients are near each other.

For each patient that you pick up, you are given bonus time, depending on how far away you are, the time varies. Time only accumulates for the level, not the next one. Lets just say you complete ambulance level 1
with 1 minute to spare, at the start of Ambulance level 2, you wont have 1 minute to go. Each time you hit a wall, pole or another car, your patient gets sicker and is going to die earlier, so your time limit will go down for each major crash you have, so take care.

Rewards:

Save 45 pedestrians: Health icon becomes available at hideout
Save 85 pedestrians: Adrenaline pill at hideout

Complete ambulance level 12 and infinite run is granted. According to most things I have read, different people have got different icons (health, adrenaline) at the different amount of pedestrians saved, but
his is what I got, so maybe you will not get the same.

To gain a percentage on your overall status, you need to get the health icon at your hideout, the adrenaline pill and do ambulance level 12. The ambulance is probably one of the hardest missions to do, especially because the ambulance is real easy to roll. I think I went through about 20 ambulances just getting the adrenaline pill.

Making Liberty City a crime free place: The cop

An Enforcer: A swat van
A Police car: A general cop car
FBI car: Black Karuma
Rhino: Tank

In the police stations where you are taken when you are busted. or just generally shoot someone near a driving cop car and the cop will get out, then just hop in the passengers side door and drive off leaving the cop behind, this is the most common way and the wanted star will eventually go off leaving you to do the Vigilante mission without any hassle.

What you have to do in this 'R3' mission is eliminate the criminals. This can be done any way, from blowing up their car, to damaging their car and then run them over. It is pretty hard and your car will get smashed up. You need to try and run the criminal off the road or damage his car big time, and then he will get out.

The criminal will be speeding along at a very fast pace, so it can be hard to catch up. Avoid going 100 miles an hour, because he can turn and trick you, but still go fast. Try to get to the side of him and either push into him or do a drive by. Pushing into him will cause him/her to lose control and hit a few objects. After the car is damaged enough, the person will get out. I just run them over if I can. After the criminal has been killed, it's mission accomplished and it is on to your next criminal.

Basically pull up on the side and do a drive by, stick with the criminal on the speed limit, but not to close on the sides, then perform a drive by, and after awhile, his car will eventually explode. Also, the driver usually gets into a roadblock and things like that at time, so use a grenade and make him and the roadblock disappears. The explosion should kill him. Sometimes it might be better to hit the criminal head
on. Just ram straight into him. Then turn around and the criminal will likely be against the wall. Then ram him/her to the limit.

A few more Secrets to add: To get a very easy kill, chase the criminal while in your cop car, or whatever. Now once he is close to you, pause the game. Your probably thinking, what the hell? But then un pause it.

Then you will notice that the criminal will actually slow down and get out of his car. Yes, this is a glitch, and leaves him open for an easy kill. Most people say that this is cheating, but reall how can it be, if exploiting a glitch is cheating, then that means reading a strategy guide is cheating. Sorry, off topic.

Another major secret in this thing, it involves using cheats though. Here is what to do: Grab a cop car, but don't trigger the R3 mission yet. Drive the cop car back to your garage. Park the car in your garage. While still sitting in your car, activate the R3 mission. Hop out of your car, then run off somewhere near your hideout. Use destroys all cars cheat (L2, R2, L1, R1, L2, R2, T, S, O, T, L2, R2). This will destroy all cars, including the criminals, but your car will be in your garage, so it will be repaired again. Hop back in the car, then go back out and use destroy all cars cheat again. You have to go back into your car every time otherwise it will say '50 seconds to end' or whatever, and the next criminal wont show up until you have got back into a police car.

Of course, by doing these missions, your car will get trashed a lot, especially while battling a truck or fish vans. Just to make sure that the car isn't ready to blow up. Try changing them or you can do the weapon cheat that you can found it at the cheat page and use UZI to shoot the cars try not to damage your car.

Like all R3 missions, you have a certain time limit to kill the criminal in. the limit is very big though, so you shouldn't have any trouble with the requirements. Once again, the time accumulates so you get more time.
Depending on the location, you get a different amount of time. If you hop out of your police car, another time limit will appear, this means that you have a certain amount of time to find a Police Car before the mission ends. When that timer reaches 0, the mission ends.

You think your a cop hey, think again! The cops of Liberty City still know it's you. Even on a Vigilante mission where you run over someone with your police car and the cops see it, they will still want to arrest you, just because you are being a vigilant makes no difference to the cops, so still all the old rules count, such as hitting a cop or killing a cop.

Sometimes and usually all the time, cars are in the way of the criminal, so what you can do is press L3 in and your siren will come on. Sometimes it's the horn, if so, just press it again. When you next approach a car with your siren on, it will move out of the way for you, giving you a clear path, but sometimes cars don't move if you are driving on the wrong side of the road and sometimes they swerve into you instead.

Kill 10 criminals in Portland and you get 1 police bribes delivered to your hideout.
Kill 20 criminals in Portland and you get 2 police bribes delivered to your hideout.
Kill 10 criminals in Staunton and you get a 3rd police bribe delivered to your hideout.
Kill 20 criminals in Staunton and you get another Bribe delivered to your hideout.
Kill 10 criminals in Shoreside to get a 5th bribe delivered to your hideout.
Kill 20 criminals in Shoreside to get a 6th Police bribe delivered to your hideout.

Killing all 60 criminals will gain you 1% on your overall percentage Complete.

PUTTING OUT FIRES: THE FIREFIGHTER

Fire trucks can sometimes come when there is a fire, such as you use Molotov Cocktails and grenades to catch a car or person at that on fire, sometimes a fire truck will come. But usually, the fire will put itself out before you even hear the truck coming, so that’s why you can hardly see any fire trucks patrolling the streets. Fire stations are the best way to get a fire truck.

These are the locations of the Fire Stations:

Portland: Across the road to the South of the AMCO gas stations.
Staunton: Near the BJs Deli, near the Shoreside lift bridge, on the road below, to the right of the road. Shoreside: Entrance of the Airport, come in the main entrance, when you see the car-park gate, do a U Turn and on your right will be the Fire-Trucks.

What you have to do in this R3 mission is put out the fires on vehicles.

Seems easy, and really it is. The vehicles never explode, that’s funny, because usually if you see a car on fire normally in the game, it will explode about 2 seconds after, taking everything with it.

This is really a simple mission to do. Requires only really driving skills, as most missions really do. To squirt the water, press the fire button, which is O. The fire-truck's hose will squirt out water. You once again, have time limit like all the other missions.

Each report, a car will be burning. You have to put the fire out on it. Drive to the car, and run into the car while squirting the water, this should put it out straight away, and also keep some of your speed. That’s all you pretty much have to do, sounds easily. Now to write up about all the other stuff to do with this mission:

If you want the water to go to the side of the fire truck instead of shooting out the front because you are stuck, or don't want to move, or it is just quicker, then you can move the hose turret to shoot the water somewhere else. To move the turret, use the right analog stick. Move it how you would using the other analog stick while moving.

Another thing I would like to mention, by doing these missions, you will put out fires on cars that are rare, or are exclusive to an island that you haven't got to yet. Some of these rare cars are:

Mr. Whoopie: Take this, this is one of the most rare vehicles in the game, you will need it for the Import/Export garage. Trust me, get it now or you will be sorry. End the R3 mission and take it to there.

Flatbed: On the first island, this is the only time I have seen one. It's not rare, as you can find them on the Second/third Island, but if you haven't unlocked the other islands, this is rare, drive it to the Import/Export garage, they want one.

Once again, this is what you do the missions for:

Put out 60 fires, 20 in each district, and a Flamethrower will appear at you hideout. I'm not sure what percent it gives you for doing this.
