Overview

In Running Dog, CJ arrives at Big Smoke's house just as Tenpenny and Pulaski are leaving. Smoke takes CJ to meet two Vagos members, knocks one out with a baseball bat and sends CJ to chase the other on foot through East Los Santos.

The opening cutscene is one of the first hints that something is wrong with Big Smoke: CJ arrives just as Tenpenny and Pulaski are leaving his house, and Smoke claims they were trying to get information out of him. The mission itself is a foot chase that teaches sprinting, climbing and shooting on the move.

Walkthrough

  1. Drive Big Smoke to the meeting point. Pick up a gun from Emmet's if you need one.
  2. After the cutscene, chase the fleeing Vagos member on foot through yards and over fences.
  3. Watch for two more Vagos outside a liquor store who open fire as you pass.
  4. Kill the runner before he gets into a car; if he does, take a vehicle and chase the Sentinel.
  5. Return Smoke home to finish.

Tips

  • Sprint by tapping the sprint button and use lock-on shooting when you get a clear line.
  • If he reaches the Sentinel, ram it off the road before it reaches Las Colinas.
