Hello and welcome back to the one-hundred and third episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. So today, weβre gonna continue doing the collectable Rampage Icons, this being our second Rampage in Shoreside Vale.
There are seven in total and for this one we need to literally pop twenty Red Jacks heads using the M-16. So weβre on foot, because Itβs not too far down here. Itβs hidden behind a squid billboard sign. And, I found for the gun the M-16. Only way I can handle that thing is through hip fire.
Thereβs too much awkward recoil aiming with it. Thereβs the sign. And, weβll jump down there when we get it. So, this is βRampageβ. Behead twenty Hoods in two-minutes. Get back guy. Alright, eight remain! Try and like aim it up off-screen, off their heads a little bit, than move it over.
Itβs probably the best way to get there heads. Than, aiming straight for emβ! Alright, three to go. One more, there we go. Letβs get the hell outta here. Sorry guys, donβt tell D-Ice. Alright, these guys arenβt hostile. Some are after us and some are just standing there. I hope you enjoyed this episode and Iβll see you on the next!

Summary
Heading out to Wichita Gardens in Shoreside Valeβs a good start. Behind that big Squid billboard on the edge of Wichita Gardens is where you wanna be. Dig around for a skull icon hiding there, and youβre set to kick off the mission.
Missionβs simple enough on paper: behead 20 Red Jacks in just 2 minutes. Sounds simple till youβre in the thick of things. This is where strategy trumps sheer speed.
You get handed an M-16 with unlimited ammoβsounds pretty wild, right? But, hereβs the catch. Those bullets wonβt count for much if you canβt coolly manage your time and precise aiming for headshots.
Finding the skull in a bustling area isnβt always a piece of cake. Best bet? Scout the area first, know your escape routes and spots where the Red Jacks might cluster. Thatβs half the battle won already.

Tactics for Success: Handling the M-16 Effectively
When it comes to wielding the M-16 in Grand Theft Auto III The Definitive Edition, hip-firing becomes your best friend. The recoil when aiming down sights can turn your mission south real quick. Sticking to hip fire gives you speed and lets you handle the weaponβs kickback better.
Youβve got two minutes on the clock, so use your time wisely. Move swiftly through the area, but keep your shots accurate. Clusters of Red Jacks in Wichita Gardens, Shoreside Vale are where youβll make up time the fastest.
With loss of lives all around, focus is key. Try not to get bogged down by retaliations from the gang. Keep moving and pick your oncoming targets wisely.
Vantage points are game changers. Get yourself in a spot where you can see the Red Jacks coming but stay mobile so you donβt get pinned down.
The M-16 might take some getting used to. Pay attention to how it handles with each trigger pull. The more you practice, the more youβll get a feel for firing without having to second guess your aim.
Rewards and Long-term Benefits of Rampage Completion
Completing your first rampage puts $5,000 GTA in your pocket. But donβt stop thereβeach successful run doubles that cash. Keep going for the big bucks.
Collecting all 20 rampage skull tokens isnβt just about completionist bragging rights. It lands you a whopping bonus of $1,000,000 GTA. Thatβs serious motivation to tick off each mission.

Mastering these rampage missions ramps up your game experience, bringing a sense of achievement that sticks with you long after youβve moved past Shoreside Valeβs missions.

Your take on the M-16 Rampage for the Southside Hoods βΒ Red Jacks in GTA IIIβs Definitive Edition looks surprisingly smooth in this video. Itβs interesting how some of these classic challenges look easier with updated in-game mechanics and controls. Clearly the M-16βs high rate of fire and sheerΒ power makes quick work of those red jacketed frenemies, but I wonder if that takes away from the challenge compared to the original version. Do you think the Definitive Edition changes have made Rampages more viable, or do they still hold the same level of excitement for longtime players? Who can enlighten me?
