Overview
Tagging Up Turf is the first mission from Sweet in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Sweet hands CJ a spray can and drives him around Idlewood and East Los Santos to paint over rival gang tags, showing how the Families mark their turf. It doubles as a tutorial for the spray can and for the 100 tag collectibles hidden around Los Santos.
Walkthrough
- Meet Sweet outside his house and get into his car.
- In Idlewood, watch Sweet tag a wall, then spray over the two nearby enemy tags yourself.
- Get back in the car and let Sweet drive to East Los Santos.
- Spray over the remaining tags. Two Ballas appear in an alleyway; escape them by climbing the fence.
- Follow the radar blips to the remaining tags, then get back in Sweet's car.
- Drive back to Grove Street to finish the mission.
Tips
- Hold the spray button until the tag fully changes to the Grove Street design.
- You can fight the Ballas, but running is easier and keeps your health high.
