Big Smoke's Cash

Overview

Big Smoke's Cash is a repeatable side job in GTA San Andreas aimed at the money behind Big Smoke's deal with the Loco Syndicate. After CJ leaves Los Santos, Cesar Vialpando calls on Mondays and Fridays to say the cash is on the move again, loaded into an armoured Patriot heading for San Fierro. CJ can accept or ignore it with no penalty.

Walkthrough

1. Take Cesar's call at 05:00 while on foot.
2. Catch the Patriot, which sets out from Grove Street with hostile Grove Street gang members on board.
3. Ram it to knock crates of money out of the back.
4. Drive over the crates to collect them before the truck reaches Pier 69.

Tips

• The Patriot is bulletproof, fireproof and explosion-proof, so ramming is the only way to shake the crates loose.
• The job ends when all six crates are collected or the truck reaches Pier 69, and it fails if the Patriot is destroyed.
• Starting another mission, a game of pool, an arcade game or the Lowrider Challenge cancels the job.

Rewards and unlocks

Each crate is worth $300, so one run can pay up to $1,800. The job is not needed for 100% completion and ends once the crack factory is destroyed in Yay Ka-Boom-Boom.
