Overview
Van Heist is a Joey Leone mission in GTA III. Joey has learned that a Securicar is making its rounds through Portland and wants it stolen.
The van is bulletproof, so guns are useless. Joey's advice: ram it a few times and the drivers will panic and run.
Van Heist is the first mission built around the Securicar, the armoured van that returns later in Escort Service and Decoy. It teaches an important lesson about GTA III's physics: ramming can force drivers out of a vehicle that guns cannot damage.
Walkthrough
- Get a sturdy car and find the Securicar on the radar.
- Ram it repeatedly until the guards bail out.
- Get into the Securicar.
- Drive to Joey's lock-up in Portland Harbor and park inside.
Tips
- Use a heavy car for ramming; light cars break before the guards panic.
- Hit the rear corners of the van to stop it more easily.
- Lose any wanted level before parking at the lock-up.
