Guardian Angels

Overview

Guardian Angels is the last mission of the opening chapter of GTA Vice City. Cortez's associate Ricardo Diaz is closing a drug deal with the Cubans and wants extra security, so Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance act as his lookouts. The Haitians attack, and the deal turns into the game's first large gunfight.

Walkthrough

1. Drive to the multi-storey car park in Washington Beach and pick up the Ruger Cortez has left there.
2. Lance arrives. Take him to the meeting point in an alley.
3. After Diaz arrives, climb the stairs to the raised platform overlooking the deal while Lance takes the opposite side.
4. When the Haitians arrive in waves of Voodoos and Burritos, shoot them before they reach Diaz's men.
5. Two last Haitians grab the money and flee on Sanchez bikes. Lance shoots one; take his bike and chase the other through the alleys.
6. Kill the rider, collect the money and deliver it to Diaz.

Tips

• Shoot attackers as they climb out of their vehicles, when they are bunched together.
• Keep an eye on Lance; if Haitians flank him, help him out, since his death fails the mission.
• On the Sanchez, stay close to the escaping rider and shoot when the alley straightens out.

Rewards and unlocks

$1,000. The Ruger goes on sale at Ammu-Nation, the bridges to Starfish Island open, and five-star wanted levels become possible. Diaz's missions begin with The Chase.
