Hello and welcome back to the eighty-second episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. So, weโll jump in Asukaโs Yakuza Stinger that we borrowed from the Construction Site and head over to Donald Love. Heโs on the radio right now. One thirty in the morning โEscort Serviceโ. Okay, ready guy? Alright, I might jump in this vehicle here because I feel like I might have to like be smashing into cars.
What is this by the way? It is a Flatbed. I feel like I need some armour for this particular mission. This thing is massive Flatbed. Oh, there we go Colombian Cartel. Awe, not a great deal of acceleration though. Itโs already taken a ton of damage. That sucks! Alright, here they come. Oh what, I think this Cartel Cruiserโs giving this a bit of a boost. Itโs not causing damage so weโll just leave it like that aha, for now.
Awe whoa, it exploded. I donโt know if that Securicar can handle too much more damage. Are we turning in here? I donโt know, probably. We turning guy? Yep, any roadblocks up here. I should go ahead. Someone there as well. Oh crap, weโre not going to the airport. I thought we were going to the airport. Oh no, slow down guy. Awe, oh no. This canโt be good. Holy, oh no. Look at that damage meter. Have we made it? Cโmon, donโt blow up now guy. Yes, oh my god.
Barely, thatโs sick. Iโm happy about that. Get to the payphone in Wichita Gardens and weโll talk business. Oh weโll take this Rumpo back over to Staunton Island safehouse. Just double check weโre going the right way. Yep, looks like weโve activated the Shoreside Vale optional payphone mission. That red phone icon on the mini-map. Weโll get around to that at some point. I hope you enjoyed this episode and Iโll see you on the next.

Escort Service โญ DONALD LOVE
Mission Breakdown: Escort Service in GTA 3
The โEscort Serviceโ mission in GTA 3 is one of those tasks where your strategic thinking really gets put to the test. This mission, given by Donald Love, demands a cool head and some tactical planning.
The main objective here is straightforward: get Donald Loveโs associate, the Oriental Gentleman, safely to the Pike Creek lock-up in Shoreside Vale while keeping the Securicar and its precious cargo intact. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, not quite. Thereโs the Colombian Cartel to deal with, and these guys arenโt exactly hospitable hosts.
Choosing the right vehicle can make or break your mission. Going for something robust like a Flatbed gives you that extra muscle when ramming through roadblocks or fending off enemy fire. The Securicar needs a solid layer of protection, and your choice of wheels plays a huge part here.
Mapping out the quickest and safest route to your destination saves you valuable time and can help execute cartel ambushes pre-preemptively. Always keep eyes on the mini-map, ever watching for any incoming threats, especially areas where you might get boxed in.
Defence is your best offence on this run. Keep a steady hand on the wheel while managing to fend off attackers. The key is in the balanceโspeed when you need to outrun and agility to shake off pursuers.
Successfully completing the mission doesnโt just save Donaldโs friend from harm; it also lands you a healthy $40,000 GTA. Itโs a hefty reward thatโs well worth the challenging effort, giving you extra cash to maybe buy some Body Armor or hoard some ammo for future missions.
Mastering Missions in GTA 3: Tips and Tricks
Taking on missions in GTA 3 might feel overwhelming, especially when youโre stacking high-stakes objectives like the โEscort Service.โ But with a little preparation, finesse or after a few attempts, you can ace these challenges without breaking a sweat.
First off, understanding each missionโs specific requirements is crucial. Taking time to read and absorb the mission briefings pays off. Familiarise yourself with the routes and potential threats well in advance. Having a clear plan helps avoid surprises that might send your mission downhill.
Choosing the right artillery makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly a mission goes. Whether itโs selecting a vehicle built to withstand heavy attacks or making sure your arsenal is stocked with reliable weaponry, come prepared for anything the game throws your way. Sometimes, taking a detour to arm up at Ammu-Nation before a mission begins is a worthwhile strategy.
Learning from missteps is part of honing your skills. Donโt get discouraged by a fail or two. Instead, use each experience to develop stronger strategies and reactions to mission dynamics. Revisiting a mission after regrouping can often lead to discovering a simpler, more effective approach.
Finally, taking care of your resources like health and armor can greatly enhance survival odds. Donโt rush into missions without a health check-up; topping up your health and armor before a critical mission can mean the difference between success and defeat.
By mastering these tips, youโll not just navigate through GTA 3 with ease, but youโll also find each mission adds to the thrill of commanding Liberty Cityโs streets.
This mission was so entertaining to watch! The 4K graphics in the Definitive Edition make the action appear even more realistic then I could have ever imagined. The Escort Service mission was a lot of fun to observeโthereโs always something crazy going on in GTA IIIโs Liberty City. I love how well you handled the challenges, making it look effortless. Canโt wait to see whatโs next in the seriesโkeep up the hustle!
