T R A N S C R I P T . . .
Hello and welcome back to the ninety-second episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. Today, weโre gonna drive Asukaโs Yakuza Stinger over to Shoreside Vale. Might take the tunnel out there. So, who weโre looking for out their is D-Ice, which is an optional Payphone Mission.
So, Itโs not necessary to do these missions Iโm about to do now, unless you wanna get a hundred percent game completion. As you see on the mini map a red and black phone blimp has appeared, thatโs who weโre after. Alright, weโll pull up in this park here.
This is โUzi Moneyโ. Aight, we got enough experience with drive-byโs by now so, have an Uzi selected when entering a vehicle. Alright, also known as a Micro Sub-Machine Gun. Letโs take this Cartel Cruiser instead. Ice twenty Purple Nines in two and a half minutes. So, I gather Itโs the purple, the purple ah shirts/jerseys.
Awe great, Police. Steady does it, letโs just not get pulled outta this car. Eight remain. Alright, letโs continue. One more. Alright, letโs get the hell outta here. So, Purple Nines and Red Jacks. I guess the two conflicting gangs here. Alright, how do we get outta here? Weโre doing another block circle. Up there, or is it only the one way in? I guess I can take this way. I hope you enjoyed this episode and Iโll see you on the next!

Summary
Grand Theft Auto 3 was a game-changer when it hit the shelves back in the early 2000s. It introduced players to a sprawling open-world experience that had them hooked from the get-go. Fast forward to today, the Definitive Edition promises to breathe new life into this best-selling classic, aiming to deliver both nostalgia and refreshment for old and new fans alike.
The Definitive Edition, as some like to call it, isnโt just a throwback. Itโs a moderate revamp. Weโre talking improved graphics, smoother mechanics, and a few sneaky tweaks that make gameplay more exciting. Ever noticed how the lighting now plays such a huge role in creating that street urban feel? Itโs these small details that make gaming all the more immersive.
Now, this remaster isnโt just about pretty visuals. Dive deeper, and youโll see enhanced controls that help players navigate various obstacles more effectively. You remember those clunky shooting mechanics in the original? Well, theyโve tuned that up, making your street shootouts a bit less frustrating and more thrilling.
For those wondering if the spirit of the original got lost amidst all these upgrades, fear not. While theyโve sharpened up the edges, the core storyline that made the game a cult classic remains untouched. Itโs like meeting an old friend whoโs had a style overhaul but still keeps those stories and originality you love. So, whether youโre an OG fan or a newbie, thereโs plenty here for everyone to enjoy and explore.
Uzi Money โญ D-ICE
Mastering Uzi Money: A Step-by-Step Guide
The mission titled โUzi Moneyโ in GTA 3โs Definitive Edition is a testament to how this game combines narrative depth with intense action. Youโll hear the payphone ring in Wichita Gardens, a signal of sorts from D-Ice, the leader of the Red Jacks (Southside Hoods) gang. Heโs got a bone to pick with the rival Purple Nines, and youโre right in the middle of this turf war.
Strategizing for this mission is crucial. As soon as the mission kicks off, youโve got just 2.5 minutes to ice 20 Purple Nine gang members. Sounds daunting? It doesnโt have to be. Familiarising yourself with the layout of Wichita Gardens in Shoreside Vale is your first step. Knowing the hotspots where the Purple Nines hang out can give you a tactical edge.
Effective timing and precision in your drive-bys can make or break your progress here. Itโs not just about spraying bullets; itโs about doing so efficiently while minimising collateral damage. Your vehicle choice matters tooโsomething durable like the Colombian Cartel will help you stay on the move and avoid getting cornered.
Watch out, though, because the Red Jacks arenโt going to sit idly by. They might return fire, adding another layer of complexity to your mission. Itโs wise to plan an exit strategy in case the heat gets too much. Maybe scout some quick hideouts or alleyways where you can regroup quickly.
And donโt forget, success in this mission means youโll score a nice $10,000 GTA reward. Beyond the cash, completing โUzi Moneyโ also strengthens your standing with the Red Jacks, opening up further avenues in the game. Navigate thoughtfully, and youโll come out not just with the reward but with a satisfying sense of accomplishment, ready to tackle the next challenge.
Aftermath and Rewards: Navigating Post-Mission Opportunities
Successfully pulling off the Uzi Money mission in GTA 3โs Definitive Edition is more than a feather in your cap. With a cool $10,000 GTA added to your stash, youโre equipped to enhance your gear, giving you that extra edge in future exploits. Money might not buy happiness, but in Liberty Cityโs dangerous streets, it sure buys firepower.
Beyond the monetary reward, the mission alters your relationships within the game. By siding with the Red Jacks, youโre intensifying the rivalry with the Purple Nines, which can have interesting repercussions as you progress. This dynamic adds a layer of strategy, influencing how you navigate future missions, alliances, and territorial claims. Keeping a close eye on gang interactions can offer unexpected advantages in tackling upcoming tasks.
As you complete more missions and build a reputation, youโll notice enhancements in your gameplay skills. Not just in terms of shooting and driving but also in reading the cityโs undercurrentsโanticipating movements, strategically planning escape routes, and optimising mission tactics based on past experiences.
Community feedback regarding the Definitive Edition has been a melting pot of nostalgia and criticism. Veterans of the game are loving the updated graphics and smoother control mechanics, seeing the edition as a respectful homage to the original while welcoming newcomers with open arms. Sharing experiences and tips with other players can hugely amplify your enjoyment, broadening your understanding of different approaches and strategies.
With the Uzi Money mission under your belt, youโre better prepared for what comes next. Itโs not just about surviving but thriving in this bustling urban sprawl. As you continue your journey in this revamped world, remember to keep your eyes open for new opportunities, keep your ears to the streets, and, above all, keep moving forward.

Another funny episode, XD!
Seems like one of the harder payphone missions, since I do believe you mentioned this is necessary for 100% game completion.ย
I saw you got $10000 for passing it; also might have expected more stars than just one to be chasing you while it was unfolding.ย
Good work though; keep it up.
