Hello and welcome back to the thirty-third episode of this GTA III Definitive Edition video series. Today, we’ll be participating in our final vehicle sub-mission for this act, or this island. Um so, we’re gonna go over near the hospital to the Police station. Where we will find a Police vehicle and activate the quest. Um, this is my second attempt at this. I learnt all I need to know on the first attempt. Because I managed to get four stars and I ran out of bullets and I’ve got a strategy in mind. Whoops, we’re not going here. But we’ll park here. Oh no, we got to wait, Triads everywhere. This is ‘Vigilante‘. Let’s go catch us some, some bad guys. When I say catch em’, murder them. Alright so, we got plenty of ammunition for now but, we’ll have to definitely make a few stops. And the goal here is to do twenty today. It’s gonna take a little bit to do because we’ve got a fleeing vehicle and you got Police you gotta worry about, this and that. Ammunition. Luckily, if you get out the car you got a timer though. Ah, this things fast. Okay, tricky. He doesn’t wanna get out of his vehicle does he this psycho. But that’s the way, ha ha ha. There we go. Your boxed in to your own death. Alright that’s one. Nineteen to go. Ammunition’s looking good, no stars. Just keep us outta the Triad vicinity and we’re laughing. Oh, Patriot. Shouldn’t be too quick. This one seems a bit souped up. Flee for your life. Whoa. There’s no way I’ll be able to maintain this vehicle for twenty arrests so, at the same time, I don’t wanna like jack a Police vehicle and get some stars.
That’ll be painful. So, I might have to go back to the Police Station when I’m close by to quickly trade up a vehicle, if I can remember. Otherwise there’s just gonna be a little struggle eventually. That’s it. Awe, that’s what you want, nice and easy. And you don’t want that. And the worst problem here is I’ll probably get two stars, yep, damn it. But, I do remember where a star is to remove one. Up this alleyway somewhere. Okay, let’s hope that’s enough to get rid of the wanted level. Dammit, I was gonna try and trade up a vehicle. Come on lose that star, you can do it. Come on surely. Ha, yes. That’s amazing look at that. That’s what’s up. If you get the job done quickly you get a nice time bonus. Ah, that’s a lot of bullets wasted. There we go, ha ha. Where are we? Okay, we’re heading near Ammu-Nation, that’s where we’re heading. C’mon, lose that wanted level, come on. I would have liked to get one more clip but, I heard that Police officer. And we lost him, right on time. I mean, I could’ve quickly swapped over a vehicle, maybe, if I have to come back this way. Yes, that was nice. Yep, time to trade up. Been a nice vehicle thus far. Please let me enter. What, I hate that. I don’t understand it. Sometimes, it just won’t let you in the emergency vehicles. Whoa, like I mean, one time between my first, and now second attempt, I quickly tried again. But, I didn’t even end up getting in the vehicle because it wouldn’t let me in the two Police vehicles their. They were both locked. I don’t really count that as an attempt, I couldn’t even start the mission.
Okay, where are we? Let’s take it steady, get rid of this wanted. This is actually kinda fun. It’s definitely a bit more challenging than the Fire Truck – Firefighter mission, sub-mission. We’re definitely gonna hang out, hang back a little to we lose that star. Ah no, we were chased, tailed by the Police. That ain’t good at all. Let’s just, hopefully, we can lay low. Awe, the timer’s running out but, gonna have to just take that risk. Okay, we got a nice bit of time there. Oh, ten to go. I don’t really wanna mess up now. That star just doesn’t wanna leave, can’t even understand why. Doesn’t usually take that long. Come on, getting to the two minute mark ah. That’s always nice when they stop. Alright well, since we’re here, I know what I’m doing. Alright, worse comes to worse, we can’t lose this star for whatever reason. I’ll have to go up this alley way. Just don’t give me another star right now please, that’s the last thing I need. If I get this, I can’t believe this. It’s just not fair. Alright, we got a real big timer issue right now. I need to get lucky here. I think we might be right. He’s going that way. Ha, bloody truck madness. Yes, no. We almost got it. Ah come on, ah It’s gone, good. There’s more of these but, it doesn’t wanna open up. See, ridiculous! Wasted that time for no reason. Alright, seven left. Now in night pursuit. Come back hither. I mean come hither. Oh yeah, I’m gonna wait a second. Get out! This guy’s got some body armour for sure. I think we might have enough bullets now to finish this off. Just got the trophy ‘Going Rogue’.
That must be fifteen done, yep. Looks like I get one for every fifteen. Firefighters tier. Oh look at that, nice and close. No wanted stars, couldn’t ask for a better situation. It’s a fast car though. What is it, an Infernus or something? Haven’t driven one yet in this playthrough. It looks like it. Now, It’s four left. Nice juicy timer. Can we now use another vehicle? No we can’t. Ah, this is such a time waster. Open up! What is that? Well that’s alright, because he’s ended up this way. What? That didn’t get him. Damn near close. Come hither. Oh oh, right near the officer. Let’s not try get in that vehicle, It’s bugged out. I’m a bit worried now, I could at the last minute get shot up and the vehicle blows up and that would just cause a big issue for sure. Okay, I gotta get this guy, he’s quick. What are the odds if this vehicle just blows up and there just won’t be a Police vehicle around to get. I reckon that’s what will happen. That’s why I am so scared of that happening. And the timer’s getting tight again, and I got this guy but, oh nice. Alright, last one. Surprised I got this on my second go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, get out the way. Should be good. Yeah take that, give me your tire. And that’s that! Oh no, no, no, don’t you dare pull me out. You both can get run over. What’s that? Police Bribe deliver to hideout. Vigilante bonus. Okay so, I’m gonna toggle off this mission. We killed twenty criminals. So, let’s go back to Portland safehouse. End the episode. Will the Police vehicle store in the garage, that is the question. I hope you enjoyed Vigilante and I’ll see y’all on the next.

Summary
Vigilante missions in GTA 3: Definitive Edition offer a thrilling side quest for players looking to shake things up in Liberty City. These missions are all about tracking down and eliminating criminals, giving you a chance to support local law enforcement in your own unique way.
Liberty City is segmented into three main areas: Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale. Each offers distinct challenges and varying levels of criminal activity. Starting your vigilante career in Portland can provide a manageable introduction to these exhilarating missions, helping familiar players ease into the demanding tasks ahead.
Playing as Claude Speed, your involvement with Portland Liberty City Police Department isn’t official, but by completing arrests, you indirectly assist them. The objective is simple: locate criminals within a time limit and take them down. This role not only offers a break from story missions but also adds depth to your criminal-cleansing journey across the city.
Completing these missions rewards players with more than just satisfaction. For every 10 suspects eliminated, you’ll unlock a police bribe, which reduces your wanted level, stored safely at Claude’s safehouse. This makes navigating the city under police radar more manageable.
Understanding the mechanics of these missions is essential for success. You’ll face time constraints and varied threats, so planning and quick thinking are key. As you navigate through the city, be prepared to switch tactics based on the location and density of police presence. Each success sets the stage for greater challenges in the other Liberty City islands.

Navigating the Urban Jungle with Police Vehicles
Driving in Liberty City can be a wild ride, especially when you’re behind the wheel of a police vehicle during vigilante hunting. These vehicles are built for speed and durability, essential qualities when you’re on a timed mission to track down suspects.
Each police vehicle in GTA 3: Definitive Edition offers its own advantages. The standard police car is reliable, quick, and great for manoeuvring through high-traffic areas. For those tricky pursuits, the Enforcer might be your vehicle of choice due to its robust build, although it’s slightly slower.
Speed is critical in pursuit scenarios, so mastering driving techniques can give you an edge. Sharpen your skills on cornering, braking, and accelerating to maintain the upper hand when chasing down suspects. Understanding Liberty City’s layout also helps. Familiarise yourself with shortcuts and back alleys to gain an advantage during chases.
Selecting the right vehicle for each mission can significantly impact your success rate. Consider your target’s escape route and choose a vehicle that complements your strategy. Sometimes swapping for a quicker ride, like a police bike, might be the best call if manoeuvrability outweighs armour needs. Just kidding. A Police Bike would be a nice edition to GTA 3 wouldn’t you agree.
Utilizing these strategies effectively means staying ahead of criminal activities. With cuffing each suspect, you’ll become more adept at reading the city and leveraging police vehicles to maintain law and order in your unique vigilante style.
Unlocking Advantages: Police Bribes in Liberty City
The concept of police bribes in GTA 3: Definitive Edition offers a unique strategic edge for players. It simplifies life when things in Liberty City get a bit chaotic, helping reduce wanted levels and evade police heat more effectively.
Unlocking these bribes involves a bit of effort, but the payoff is worth it. For each set of 10 suspects you successfully take down during vigilante missions, a police bribe becomes available at Claude Speed’s safehouse. Secure all six possible bribes, and you’ll have a significant advantage when the law comes down hard. Like if you were to lure out a Rhino Tank for example, you could quickly go from a crippling 6 wanted star level to zero with a click of a finger.
To maximise your efforts, aim to apprehend 20 suspects on each of Liberty City’s islands. Each island holds the key to releasing these bribes, providing a total of six benefits to stash away permanently. This strategy rewards patience and precise execution, so focus on the task and keep your eyes on that prize.
Holding these bribes works like a get-out-of-jail-free card, so deploying them at the right moment is essential. Save them for when your wanted level spikes unexpectedly or when mission objectives demand a lower profile.
The tactical advantage of having these bribes means you can keep the spotlight off your back, giving you the freedom to execute plans without LCPD interference. Set your sights on strategic completion of vigilante assignments to maintain the upper hand in Liberty City’s bustling environment.

This article provides an engaging and detailed look at the thrill of vigilante missions in the Portland Borough. It certainly highlights your driving skills well and adds depth and variety throughout each chase. It effectively explores the strategic elements, from mastering police vehicles to unlocking valuable police bribes.
The emphasis on planning, quick thinking, and using Liberty City’s layout to your advantage captures the essence of Claude’s Vigilante escapade. This is a must-read and watch dude.
