Gang Wars

Overview

Gang Wars are side missions in The Lost and Damned that open up after Coming Down. Johnny Klebitz rides a bike to a meeting point and then leads The Lost MC against a rival gang. Clay Simons, Terry Thorpe, Jim Fitzgerald (until Was It Worth It?) and three other Lost members ride with him. Opponents include the Angels of Death, the Yardies, The Commission's mob families, the Russian Mafia and the Albanians. Wars come in three types: Hanging Out (20 to 30 enemies holding one spot), Cruising (a gang on the move) and Transportation (destroy a key vehicle before it escapes, for extra money). Pay and difficulty rise steadily, and new wars keep appearing indefinitely.

Walkthrough

1. Complete Coming Down, then ride a motorcycle to a gang war meeting point.
2. Let the crew form up behind you; they only follow while you are on a bike.
3. Ride to the enemy position and wipe out every gang member, including reinforcements.
4. In Transportation wars, chase and destroy the target vehicle before it gets away.

Tips

• Carbine Rifles, Assault Rifles, SMGs, Assault Shotguns and RPGs work well, and headshots remain the fastest kills.
• The war fails if a fellow biker is hurt before reaching the fight, so ride carefully on the way.
• You can arrive first in another vehicle and soften the enemy with explosives before the crew rolls in.
• Surviving members get tougher after each war; 24 extra recruits replace those who fall.

Rewards and unlocks

• Cash for each war, increasing with difficulty.
• Safehouse weapons: Sawed-Off Shotgun (10 wars), Automatic 9mm (20), Carbine Rifle (30), Assault Shotgun (40, after Heavy Toll), Grenade Launcher (50).
• Completing 25 wars counts toward 100% completion.
