T R A N S C R I P T . . .
Hello and welcome back to the seventieth episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. And today, we’re gonna participate in our third vehicle. Sorry, our final vehicle sub-mission in Staunton Island and right on time, we got exactly what we need. Thank you for that Officer. Alright, we’ll get rid of this wanted level. So this is ‘Vigilante‘. The goal here is to do twenty arrests in one take. With exception, if we need to change the vehicle that’s alright, cause it doesn’t cut the mission off. And in doing so, by the time we reach ten. We should get our third bribe at every safehouse we’ve unlocked. And when, by the time we get to the twentieth, we should have four bribes. The reason why I’ve divided these into twenty per episode is because for Vigilante, you have to do twenty arrests in each ah, borough or island. Alright so, let’s get this guy. Not a good start, I will say. Alright, we’re gonna have to go down here and meet this guy head on. Is that a Mafia Sentinel? Sure looks like it. Or is that just a Sentinel. Who knows? Yes, minus the star. Awe, don’t be diving, get up. That was mayhem. Where are we? Alright good. We gotta crazy Cabbie. It looks like there sometimes, when you take out a suspect, you don’t get time for it. So maybe, It’s every second or, or whatever sometimes or always. Cause I don’t know if I got time added then. I’ll have to look it back at that. Cheeky bastard. Aye, ya, ya. Get away from that explosion.
The timer it just seems low. Looks like I pretty quickly, pretty quick ah apprehensions there. Looks like we got a Scooby Doo looking vehicle here. Surprisingly quick and tricky. Threat eliminated! Almost no time given. I wanna like try and get up to the three minute mark, that’s where I feel a lot safer. This guys in what a, forget what this is called. Esperanto maybe. Good looking car though. God damn, It’s getting away quick. Which way are you going? Here we go. Okay, that just gave us four minutes. That’s what I needed. So, got plenty of ammunition so, it looks like we won’t need to pay a visit at Ammu-Nation anytime soon. Plenty of Micro SMG or Uzi bullets. How ever you want to call it. Colombian Cartel vehicle. Oh nice, got himself out. What the hell. We just lost time. It was just at like four minutes and now It’s two minutes. How does that work? Awe, must be like time per, per the um, suspect. If that’s the case, that’s less stress I guess, maybe. Cause it was just a like four minutes. That’s two minutes taken away. That’s crazy. No, where am I going? Gotta cut this guy off, guy/gal. Awe no. Awe yes! What, what just happened. What the, has happened. Alright, there’s our third Police bribe delivered. I don’t know what happened then but, that was kinda cool. I’m definitely sorta close to being due for a vehicle swap. But, that I’ll have to time right, cause It’s tricky. Ah, ah Diablo Stallion. My kinda guy. This guy doesn’t wanna go down without a fight.
Just don’t take someone else’s car than we all good. Alright, we’re over half way now. This guy, where is he going? Aye, mister Colombian Cartel guy come back. I got a word with you. Alright, if I get the opportunity for a vehicle trade with another Police car I’m gonna take it. Cause, we’re over the ten apprehension mark. Yeah! Move out the way you Manana. Awe, two minutes. So It’s close by, makes sense. Try and, the traffic to pin this guy in, maybe not. Plenty of time for this one ha ha. Looks like a quick vehicle we’re trying to get here. Maybe not, It’s hooting but. Final five with a fifteen-hundred dollar bonus. Okay, I really thought we may have needed a vehicle swap but, it sorta feels like I might get lucky here. But, I don’t want to jinx myself because chances are this will blow up sooner than later. That’s my prediction. I haven’t really found a good opportunity to do a vehicle swap yet but. Awe, this is not a good spot. This is where I will blow up. Jeebers, looks like he’s in an Idaho or a Stallion. Awe, that was close. Awe, really Bus. Well this is alright, this is my chance. Yes, two minutes, we’re gonna quickly, perfect! Three stars to, and we should have three bribes baby. Yeah look at that. Came in clutch time. That worked out perfect with two minutes twenty to get this guy.
Awe, these Scooby Doo looking vehicles that seem to be technically capable to drive. Madman on the loose, Construction Site worker. Which way is he going? Coming towards us good, don’t turn, ah, whoa. It’s a quick one. Looks like an Infernus or a Cheetah. Two minutes, should be enough time. We’ll, just god damn. Crap, this is a little tougher than I thought. Yeah, what you got to say about that? Perfect timed, perfectly timed. Quick one. But now, we got three stars I’d say. Nah, we’re fine. Alright so, two minutes to get our final suspect. Looks like he’s driving a Stinger. Who, come back hither. Which way are you going? Which way? Yep, yep, yep, yes! Howdy partner. Okay ah, Alright, we just got our fourth bribe back at the safehouse, says we’ve unlocked. And that’s it for today so, we’ll toggle off this mission. Twenty criminals killed. Look at that, four bribes at the Safehouse, that’s so cool. Aye, we got a bloody convoy of Police vehicles here now. That’s funny. Whoa, what? I won’t be able to get in there to save it. Ha ha, wow. Let’s quickly save it before it glitches out. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Nah, nah! Alright, I’m gonna have to do something here. Did I just die? I just got trophy escape artist. Awe no, this is horrendous. What is happening? Oh my god, what a way to end it. Awe! And I’ll see you on the next episode.
Summary
Playing as a vigilante in GTA 3: The Definitive Edition brings an adrenaline rush like no other. You dive into a world where chaos meets control, allowing players to experience the thrill of being on the right side of the law, sort of. The Vigilante mission is a classic sub-mission that spices up the gameplay by letting you hunt down criminals using any police vehicle you can get your hands on.
When it comes to the mechanics, it’s pretty straightforward. All you need is a police vehicle to start; think along the lines of generic cop cars, or Enforcers if you’re feeling bold. Once you’re in, it’s all about chasing down suspects and taking them out before the clock runs down. Each successful take-down edges you closer to some hefty rewards.
Staunton Island serves as more than just a backdrop—it’s a playground full of strategic hideouts and narrow streets that test your driving skills. The island’s unique layout challenges you to think on your feet, balancing speed and caution while navigating its maze of buildings and bridges.
While it’s not necessarily packed with surprises, the Definitive Edition adds a sprinkle of novelty here and there. Better graphics and refined gameplay mechanics smooth out the rough edges, making every pursuit feel real and impactful. Keeping your eyes peeled for hidden details might give you a few extra giggles or gasps.
As Claude, you’re not just a silent protagonist but the driving force behind these high-stakes chases. Every decision you make affects your progress, so it’s about choosing the right Police vehicle, plotting the quickest escape routes, and sometimes just having the guts to go for it no holds bar.

Strategies and Tips for Success on Staunton Island’s Streets
Conquering the vigilante missions in GTA 3 requires more than just raw speed and aggression; it’s about smart plays. The first step is snagging the right police vehicle. The standard cop car offers agility, while the Enforcer gives you a little more muscle to withstand those inevitable bumps and bangs.
Once you’re rolling, understanding the lay of Staunton Island is key. It’s a mix of bustling streets and tricky alleyways. Knowing shortcuts or alternative routes can give you the upper hand in pursuit, especially when the timer’s ticking. Familiarise yourself with the map. It’ll save precious seconds.
Targeting and eliminating suspects efficiently can be a game-changer. Shoot for tire shots to immobilise their vehicles first. It’s often more effective than trying to ram them off the road. Keep an eye on your wanted level as well—managing it ensures you’re not overwhelmed by extra opposition mid-mission.
Time and resources are as important as precision in these missions. Replenishing armour and health before and during missions when possible can keep Claude in the game longer. Knowing where bribes are within Staunton Island will lower your wanted level so you can also reset the situation when things intensify. Vigilante is a bit of a juggling act!
Every run is different, but common pitfalls include getting cornered by suspects or crashing in tight spots. Avoid getting too comfortable on long straightaways because they rarely end quietly. Practising evasive manoeuvres regularly can keep you ahead of your quarry and the law. With every mistake, there’s a chance to learn and come back stronger.
Reward System: The Bribe Bounty and Its Impact on Gameplay
In the world of GTA 3, rewards play a critical role in shaping your gaming strategy, and the Vigilante missions are no exception. Completing these vehicle sub-missions not only gives you the thrill of the chase but also a chance to earn some valuable police bribes.
The reward system is straightforward yet satisfying. As you take down 10 suspects, you’re granted the first bribe. Push further to snag 20, and you’re looking at two. This accumulates as you rampage through each district—Portland Island, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale—raising the stakes while offering a grand total of six bribes across your hideouts.
Bribes can be real game-changers. They decrease your wanted level, which can be crucial during hot pursuits or when you’re in the middle of a complicated mission. These rewards not only add flair to your game but also a tactical edge, giving Claude more room to breathe when Liberty City’s best are nipping at his heels.
Incorporating these bribes into your gameplay strategy can be the difference between success and defeat. Have a few in your back pocket when you’re planning bigger criminal activities or riskier missions. They offer a safety net, allowing you to reset the field and continue unscathed.
Understanding how and when to utilise your bribes reduces the stress of constant police attention and lets you focus more on the fun parts of the game. The sense of relief when you know you’ve got that backup ensures you stay in control and enjoy every moment of chaos.
This episode was nail biting and so much fun to watch! The Vigilante mission on Staunton Island was pure intensity, and the stunning graphics really made everything look invigorating. I love how you controlled through all the chaos while keeping the chasing smooth and exciting. The Definitive Edition really brings the game to life under a new lens, and it’s great to see these classic missions with upgraded visuals. Looking forward to the release of next episode—never stop producing these walkthrough style playthroughs!
