GTA IV: TLaD Missions Guide - Hit the Pipe

=====================================================

In Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Dammond , you'll encounter a variety of missions that test your driving skills, shooting accuracy, and general ability to cause chaos on the streets. One such mission is 'Hit the Pipe,' where Johnny must take down three AOD vans using pipe bombs acquired from Malc.

Getting Started

------------

To begin this mission, simply fire up your in-game console (by pressing ``~`` or ``tilde`` depending on your operating system) and type 'misses -complete' to mark all missions as complete. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more traditional experience, follow these steps:

1. Start the game by double-clicking on the GTA IV icon.

2. Choose either Johnny Klebitz or Roman Bellic as your playable character (Johnny is recommended for this mission).

3. Once in-game, press `L1` to open up the map and navigate to Liberty City's Alderney area.

Objectives

----------

Your primary objective here is simple: destroy three AOD vans using pipe bombs acquired from Malc. While it may seem straightforward, there are a few nuances you'll want to keep in mind:

* To acquire these precious pipe bombs, head over to the phone booth on Alderney Boulevard and call Malc.

* After collecting the first set of explosives (which should be lying near your feet), make sure to equip them by pressing `L1` then selecting 'Pipe Bombs' from the radial menu.

Tips for Success

--------------

While using pipe bombs is technically required, sometimes it's just easier and more fun to simply shoot these vans ablaze. Here are a few tips that can help you complete this mission without too much trouble:

* Use your vehicle's horn or blare your own siren (by holding `L1` + `F2`) to draw attention away from the van you're targeting.

* If possible, try to take out multiple vans at once by setting up an ambush in a narrow alleyway or using a powerful explosive like C4.

-------

And that's it! With these tips and tricks under your belt (literally), you should be well on your way to completing 'Hit the Pipe' without too much stress. Remember, sometimes simplicity is key – especially when dealing with those pesky AOD vans.
