Overview

Cleaning the Hood shows how crack has eaten into Grove Street. CJ and Ryder first visit B Dup and Big Bear in the hope of recruiting them, but B Dup refuses and Bear is now his servant. The pair then go after the dealers selling crack to Families members and raid a crack den in the Idlewood projects.

The mission makes the crack epidemic personal. B Dup and Big Bear were once Families members, and seeing Bear reduced to cleaning for a dealer shows CJ how far the gang has fallen. It also starts the thread that ends late in the story with Beat Down on B Dup, when CJ and Sweet finally deal with B Dup and Bear asks to come back.

Walkthrough

  1. Drive Ryder to B Dup's house in Ganton Courts and watch the cutscene.
  2. Find the crack dealer selling to a Grove Street member nearby and beat him up.
  3. Learn the location of the dealer's den from him, then drive there with Ryder.
  4. Enter the crack den and fight the Ballas inside using melee attacks.
  5. Return to Sweet's house to complete the mission.

Tips

  • Lock on and use combos with a baseball bat or your fists; the den's occupants are not heavily armed.
  • Ryder helps in the fights, so let him draw attention while you take out stragglers.
