TUTORIAL: How to beat Vice City "The Driver" mission

[AceThompson87]

nice



[gtavercetti367]

only tried it 14 times and counting

[Vegan4Life909]

...continues

Anyway, i tried everything i could think of and read in FAQs...with no luck... blocking the road with a bus, reducing the game speed, spinning Hilary by hitting the back of his car (kinda hard at least for me)... and even switching to an Infernus.

continues...

[Vegan4Life909]

...continues

The only thing that worked for me was switching to a Hotring Racer (nascar car), the one at sunshine autos. It's the fastest car in the game. Faster than the Sabre Turbo Hilary drives.

Park it before starting the mission on the side of the first curve, just past the bridge.

When the race starts, just drive there and switch cars fast. You'll catch up quick and beat him by a lot.

[Vegan4Life909]

...continues

Need more help?

You can reduce the game speed typing "booooooring" (thats 6 'o') at the countdown of the race.That will help the players that dont drive so good.

Also u can type "leavemealone" to get rid of the cops (wanted level)

Even more help? type "gripiseverything" to make insane turns.Just dont turn too hard or u'll flip over.

continues...

[Vegan4Life909]

...continues

Theres a cheat to get the Hotring Racer right in front of u at the countdown, but when saving it warns u about corrupting the file... so i didnt use that.

Good luck!!

[MySonOfSam]

Hi, thanks for posting this tutorial and it's really cool and all but you do realise it's way harder to beat the mission this way, right?

[philanderadriaan]

How the hell do you P.I.T him? It seems that his car is too heavy or my car is too light to do that.

[APADvaz]

Here a way to beat this mission get a car and park it where the road forks and go and start the mission, when the race starts keep to the left side of the road (because you got to park on the right side close to the bridge) Hilary will hit the car and stop for sometime just drive till you get 2 stars then pause and type YOUWONTTAKEMEALIVE and you will get four stars and the cop will use spikestripes to give flat tyres, but if you go fast then Hilary will get punchured

[sdsddsfdsgfsgs]

how do you run in gta? i never learned how

[RockstarGamesHD1]

@sdsddsfdsgfsgs If it's PC Caps lock or console X or A

[sdsddsfdsgfsgs]

THIS WAS THE WORST AND MOST USELESS MISSION CUS HE FUCKING DIED IN THE NEXT MISSION I WAS SO PISSED OMFG

[MySonOfSam]

@sdsddsfdsgfsgs Yea but he left you a cab for the driveaway + you get more money from the job since you dont have to share it with him :)

[koncsaj]

Knock out of the way on that first corner and then just drive, hope you get lucky with cop cars, one bash and you're done. Took me a few goes to get a lucky run.

[koncsaj]

I'm trying to do this mission legit (no tire popping) that last corner onto the bridge is a BITCH.

[SwitchTheStyleUp]

the way tommy said: 'Abandonment issues, what a freak'. I swear that stuck with me my whole childhood. god I love this game.

[NigzBsrz]

god i finally beat this mission. i just pushed him past that first hand left at ralph's or whatever and then i just drove. He almost caught me at the end.

[Edmond1998312]

hahaha~~~~

u r so fuck~~~~

kakakaka~~~xD

[ubeentoasted]

I couldn't get him into the parking ramp, but instead, when I spun him out, he was glitching for a few seconds, running into the side of the pole position club, so I jumped out, and shot out his tires just in time before he escaped. :) More luck than skill, but that's how I did it.

[surreysk8]

hahaha tried to think of loads of ways to pass the mission but passed 3rd time using the cheat booooooring which does slow motion so its easier for you not to crash and take corners smoother and crash hillary more precisely.

[Miles3363]

Hillary has by far the better car in the Sabre Turbo, thats why he's able to drive that well

[Ghie295]

oh fk n1

[noob5000000]

Fuck this mission

[2willboi]

i did the same thing you did except i didn't shoot his tyres i just continued driving and won by a mile

[Joosshh3]

holy shit nostalgia

[nbarocks19]

and what if u fail to hit him to the mall?

[ubeentoasted]

@nbarocks19 Just try to get him to crash, even for a few seconds so you can jump out and destroy his tires. Although, because you posted this a month ago, I will assume this mission was already taken care of?

[Iisrupac]

lol all you have to do is the first part and you can win

[mujtaba83996]

how to post video

[TamaraTosic]

i just cant pass it uhhhhh :(

[Leon12346able]

I used hotring racer cheat and raced fast.

[grinnellalarms]

lol "i dont think he was in the service" he cleary has a VCPD uniform on

[trankquilizer]

how can you do that if you can't even catch up to him

[mrtheghetto1]

GOOD...

[TheLostMyBrain]

IT DOESN"T FUCKING WORK!!!

[Paramour0421]

I luv this video, thank u whoever u r. And btw I'm probably the most uneducated grand theft auto player ever, but I did it a different way.

I got 5 stars so the police would slash his tires, and I even beat your time.. Wow lol..

Thanks for being my motivation :)

[NewEraOutlaw]

And, after all of that, he ends up getting shot. POINT. LESS.

[Sarvanyour247friend]

ive got an effin better idea! just type COMEFLYWITHME and hop into a pcj600 kept for the PCJ PLAYGROUND mission! so hilary's car will be floating in air while you can finish the mission! AS SIMPLE AS THAT! :D

[danieldentis]

Can't you just blow up the car

[AoeGeneral]

noob hilary why was he going up at 2:54 :D

[HeyItStop]

THIS DOESNT WORK HE JUST CRASH ME AWAY

[HeyItStop]

lol when i was racing with him some other car knock my opp into the sea when i reach the finish line they say i fail the mission

[AoeGeneral]

I know a better solution lol just activate cheat comeflywithme and when you start you start at the left raod and hilary starts on right road so when race begins come at the right road and hilary will take left road and he will fly and you can win but always keep an eye that you can see hilary because if you go to the last checkpoint and u cannot see hilary it will appear a message that hilary is dead and you will loose lol by the way demolisher man and dildo dodo are the hardest missions

[phukifiy]

@AoeGeneral any tips on beating the dildo dodo? cuz i f-in hate that one

[AoeGeneral]

@phukifiy Me too. I also hate that mission. But you need practise to do that and when you take off just move forward and press the up arrow key if it seems you will fall down but dont go very high because when will you go to the checkpoint at the docks your skimmer will be high enough to take that point and dont take small U turns with skimmer and dont worry about feul it just increases tention start from the docks checkpoint like I did. Atleast you can take one point and get more confidense :D

[phukifiy]

@AoeGeneral good advice bro, i beat it a while ago but it was frikken long time though now i beat vice city now im working towards san andreas

[EvilYoshi100]

@AoeGeneral yeah demolisher but my 196 try 3 sleeps i just finished it while im training at the mission Dildo Dodo its not so hard

[fautasi2]

thanks for the tip....it works for me..

[ElBarto3131]

Just pitting him near the beginning is all you need to do.

[pimpandog]

"hey hill it's phill" lol

[boykegood]

you need to try to flip him then you can drive it also easy. that is the thing i ussed

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

The best way to do this mission (For those of you encumbered with laziness like me) is the dodo cheat. And if you don't want it to affect you too, grab the pcj from the start of the PCJ playground mission and drive as fast as you want on that.

[irmesia]

besides it is'nt the hardest mission it's just annoying but,not hard

[irmesia]

I hate this idiot hillary!! he always hit me with the car my car blows or fall in water

[pantsahat]

if you get 3 stars the cops will take out his tires instead

[FatherAcid]

@lewisggiggles 'Cause you are.

[fcguners]

I recomend using a cheat . Which is (getthereveryfastindeed) . This cheat will give you a hot ring racer car. Which is far more faster/quicker and stable then sentinel and also Sabre . Thus You will beat this mission very easily . Try it guys and tell me if ti work for you . And enter the cheat at the start of mission . Leave the sentinel car and enter in the hot ring racer car

[mangatope]

@fcguners omg thank you so much. it worked! yay :)

[crzy402]

use the make cars fly cheat and just drive very slowly

[pulemec]

man..u could block him with your car..down...and then take another car..and that's it !

[xbox720ify]

i hated this mission did it 15 yimes and i beated it because the idiot hit a tree

[megaricardas]

lance vance

hil phil

lol

[mrwsy1]

awesome ....

[lThanasisl]

I editted the handling.cfg (or something) in the DATA file!!! I pasted the bus' speed and once the race started, hilary was going like a turtle!!! xD

[MsMuahXoXo]

@lThanasisl LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! you literally made me spit out my ice in laughter when iread your comment XD

[MozartK365]

@lThanasisl thank you very much for your suggestion! I changed the mass from 1700 or so to 19700, the number of gears from 4 or 5 to 1, the max velocity to 10, and engine acceleration to 3. It really works, but I think it was too extreme

[Vegan4Life909]

@lThanasisl nice!! very clever lol

[andyflagdrummer]

Uh....my question is why follow him up the parking structure?! He's obviously going to be in there for at LEAST the 30 seconds you showed him up there running into the wall...that's plenty of time to gain a huge ass lead, duh. What the fuck. God damn shit cock.

[sini8080]

This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. It took me ages to beat that level.

[LoveTheHills101]

it probably took me a month or two ;P but I just got beat him, you shouldn't these strategies thy dont work. Just try to beat him the normal way by racing him

[SlimShadeFan]

LOL its very easier Hilary is a very big noob

[doctaRDR]

can i kill hilary and then finish the race?

[SlimShadeFan]

@doctaRDR  NO

[KCRyder]

dude youre the worst shooter ive ever seen lol

[hiroshi566]

if were you i would've taken him out of the var then got in and leave him there

[1234neeru]

can any one tell me a gud way to comp this mission

[xtianthadon]

this is cheating, i think finishing all d missions w/o cheats is way better satisfying than using cheats, not only hir but in any game

[55555skull]

during the countdown just type PANZER and a rhino will spawn in front of him

[SamanthaHarrison23]

:o that was awesome!

i tried that fucking mission 5 times and failed all of them -.-

I'm going to try to do it your way :)

[Acks2000]

what i did was just park a comet in the first side road and switch cars mid race.

and it bloody worked after about doing it in the other car 50 times....lol

[BLINK182wilNeverdie]

this mission is fucking easy. thats just a waste of time

[LeonSlade1]

i use the hotring race car to beat him

[Cassyan]

ha ha ha ha, quite creative, never thought of that! but also a little bit of a hassle. I just left a cheetah near the police station (door open, to prevent the disappearance of the car ), jumped out near it when the ride started, and I catch up with the dude near the ammunation store. then it was just all about careful driving. but took me several attempts, though.

[SlimTayD]

ah HA! thanks =)

[KONJINAZ]

mu strategy was, on the begining of race, leave the car and type GETHEREAMAZINGLYFAST and win the race no problem :DDD

[smackersz]

changed the Sentinel code in handling.cfg to the stats of the Infernus (left the sentinel name, just replaced the sentinel numbers to the infernus numbers)..

I won it in One Go after i changed the numbers

[MaikUniversum]

@KONJINAZ haha I used to do that too three years ago :D Now I try to do all main and side missions without cheats so I can finish game (but not 100 percent)

[Cassyan]

@KONJINAZ that's not any strategy, it's plain, simple, lame cheating. don't take it personal, but it's the true.

[KONJINAZ]

@Cassyan yeaa u are right, its not strategy, its plain, but i know many people that dont get that idea (sorry my bad englis)

[MisterWhat]

@Cassyan Ha, yeah, bumping his rear is okay, busting his tires is something else :p

[Ruldolphmaker]

all those other ways are crap for those with another gaming console other than a PC here is the all time gaurenteed way to beat this mission first steal a moped and park it on the sidewalk of the first corner activate the no gravity cheat then start the mission. Hillary will move to fast and on this turney course he will fly off several times. when he gets to the corner where your wanted level goes up by 2 just put in the lower wanted level cheat and smooth sailing

[tbrien66]

Honestly if you're skilled enough to spin him out like that early in the race and get a decent lead on him you shouldn't have much trouble beating him normally. That Washington Mall stuff is more trouble than it's worth.

[MCFC9161]

frankly, its easier to beat him in the race than to do all that bullshit

[MoonWalker1935]

Nice trick it worked

[ovidiu299]

wow.....3 minutes. You a got an ultra fast computer. I finish this mission in 7-8 minutes. My speed it is 50 % slower than your, and sometimes my computer did not show me the road. I saw only .....water or a black color.

[Kifly95]

don't push me cause of i'm close to the edge i'm trying not to lose my head

[SamilsPilern243]

use the LEAVEMEALONE CHEAT

[forbjok]

Neat video, but there's a catch.

The trick is so impossibly difficult to pull off (or rather, requires such insane amount of luck) that it's harder than just repeating the mission util you manage it.

Trying to bump him off the road will 99% of the time just result in YOU ending up parked up a tree instead, so it's better to keep trying until he gets knocked around by a random car, then just drive as fast as you can and hope he won't catch up before you reach the goal.

[Mr777necho]

Is not her, his a man!!! and i beat this mission spining around hilary!!!

[naaaaaagz]

wow, i never thought i will encounter the first generation of 'misleading "ads" on youtube' today, but this video has reached a new low. apart from that, the video is cool, good job in the wheels! :)

[roudyboy777]

How do u make it where you can aim with a pistol like that? i play on an xbox, does it only aim like that on the computer?

[LavayanSatanist]

@roudyboy777 Yeah it only aims like that on the computer. The only way you can manually aim for the XBOX/XBOX360/Playstation 2 is to use the Assault Rifle or Sniper rifle.

[FireToFlame]

The way I beat this mission was to get a 3 star wanted level before the race and when the race starts... The cops'll set up a series of road blocks and Hilary will ram into one of them... Which'll slow him down. Also if he's still going then the cops'll set up a spike strip, which'll really slow him down

[Anthony3PO]

3:14

lol

[Bangsta89]

LMAO WOW.. nicely done.. i cant believe u actually got him to go into that garage ramp.

[samdaftpunk]

i hate this mission so much, why the fuck does that ginger douche get a sabre turbo and you get an admiral ?

[elisparks]

a good i dea to get sabre turbo..do what you did and steal his car

[berryteh]

i did it in my first try no cheats used

[nintendo007]

You didn't need to do all of that, just ram him up the ramp and would have never pass you.

[WAPOverdoze]

in my first try ive finish it..no cheats and no shooting tires

it was hard but i did it

[alexx09RO]

Hey! this mission i've passed in the seond try, after passing BIGBANG!!

It's easy first try to spin out Hillary, then if he overtakes you again do the same thing because Sentinel in pretty fast, then type LEAVEMEALONE to escape the police!

greetings

[daymaker12]

Yes, i made it! xD

[jimbeam56789]

your clever

[rockstarfan9910]

bad ass aim

[peezy74]

Kinda Overkill lmao!

[SmiteWithLove]

That Jerk hit someone at 4:48 Roflol.. no mercy x]

[doom032]

I fucking hated this mission, I mean come on, he has a way better car, starts on the right side of the road, cops don't go after him... fucking impossible without doing this.

[safieroflove]

Actually if you are a good driver, this mission whould not be that hard.. Just push him to the side once and you'll win many seconds.. It's easy..

[gokussjsonic]

thanks i never thought of that NOT JOKING

[CP6NJA101]

that mission pisses me off bad i ive falled 2 pass it 10 times

[marcwft]

worked the first time i tried it

[duderoxx]

genius hankerkomo!

[bellum128]

How many times did you record this before completing successfully? XD

[MrBallsack89]

arrrrrrrrrrr i cant fucking do it :@

[vincentsanchez19]

i cant do that

[clonebird]

wow, now why did i not notice that! thanks

[scorpionking1011]

I'm such a fucking moron i would have never thought of that.lol

[TheSal1227]

Your a good Driver but not as good as me

[ty22lerb]

its not after no escape? its after the shootist, hence the reason phil is talking on the phone to hillary

[SilentKing52]

@ty22lerb Well i know now becuz i finally beat NO escape? but its actually after the shootist hehehehehe hahahaha jk but it seriously is and i also beat the driver as well hilary is stupid for getting himself killed in the job

[SilentKing52]

I dont understand how the hell you beat this itz immpossible ive tried way to many times

[SilentKing52]

is that mission after no escape?

[superflyingbullet]

Yes, this is right after the mission No Escape.

I have a question too... If you blow up Hilary's car (by driving by and shooting at him) will you fail the mission?

PS: Any other tips would be great. BTW, I have this game on Xbox so I can't download mods.

[SilentKing52]

to answer your question yes you will get a mission fail becuz i trapped im against a wall just before he finised and i got my assualt rifle out shot him in the head through the window and he fell out and then it said accross the screen, "mission failed" hilary is dead. but i seriously dont get how you got him up in that spiral garage

[superflyingbullet]

I finally beat the Mission, The Driver!

I used the flying car cheat/mod. You can use it on any platform. The trick to not killing yourself by flying of course is to TAP the accelerate button and not hold it down. DON'T deactivate the cheat, even if you are ahead. Hope this works like it did for me!

P.S. If anyone wants a (safe) link to a PC mod or cheats for any platform then PM me. BTW... if you don't have it, you MUST get San Andreas. There are like no limits in the game! PEACE OUT!

[troubletoe]

no its after the mission the shooter

[aidange2]

this mission is total luck if you pass or fail...

[nodesperada94]

damn man nice1:DD!!

[deividas58]

2.1 1.1 1.1 1.0 0.0 helpful handling line

[musclecarloverjoeroc]

for some reason, the cheats don't work on hill for me

[musclecarloverjoeroc]

none of these worked for me. Does nyone w/ a ps2 have any other ways to win?!! PLEASE HELP!!

[razzles0h27]

hey man thank you i finaly beat it lol

[deanriam]

The following him into the mall thing seemed kinda pointless, there's no way he could've reached you.

[Hussain3030]

hey try " flywithme" and drive slowly . play whole race he will stuck anytime . i have done with this in 1 time . try it

[Bosona17]

damn this is a very very good strategy

[aiilenstv]

HAHA OMG TY!! YOU IS THE BEST!!!

[HankerKomo]

I went to handling.cfg in the data-folder and changed the acceleration and maxvelocity of the Sabre Turbo for just this mission. Change it to the minimal values and hilary will take an hour to finish the race :)

[Statin7]

@HankerKomo HOW???

[Evaldas65]

@HankerKomo oh please, make a video so i can understand ;(

[MaikUniversum]

@HankerKomo it is cheating :) I beat this mission from fourth time. Without cheats. The point is to out-run him at least one time and leave him behind and then cops will do the job and slow him down. So I ran through almost all checkpoints alone.

[1234neeru]

@HankerKomo temme how to change tht accelaration an maxvelocity

[COOLZZist]

@HankerKomo how i cant go in handling



[milandulal]

Comeflywithme works. But you just have to go slowly and you are gonna win.

[flufilici]

Can someone tell me the song at the beginning? gosh i love that song !

[ma9ky]

I know that song but i forget the name!

Just search for Vice City soundtracks!

Just try evertying anf you'll find it!

[lordalastor99]

This is quite possibly the most retarded mission in the game. Modern games aren't like this, at least most of them. I guess developers realized that making people hate gaming isn't going to be good for business.

[CyRitz123]

cheat comeflywith me the car of hilary will keep on flying hehe

[betadasilva0]

ATTENTION gta players

there is an even EASIER way to beat this mission.

for this mission you need the blow up cars cheat.

when hillary is WAY in front of you

get out of your car

go to a safe place and use the cheat.

you will automatically be in first place!

[joshuajoson44]

@betadasilva0 really?! no way...if he dies you fail the mission dumb ass

[Fitziej]

Ur the dumbass...smartass..

Thnx @ Beta that orked perfect for me! thnx./..god damn hilary's to damn fast for me

[joshuajoson44]

@Fitziej fuck you if you used bigbang at the mission then if you finish the race you fail the mission bitch

[skater250]

damn i dint that and it still said i failed

[MVPDJ1]

Now that was ILL!!!!!!

[JohnnyFuzz13]

i already tried 734589126735918365901873509182­357-1928357 times... and he still fucking won >:O i always get hit by other cars, and when im the first... when im almost finish,, some fucking car hits me and then he takes the 1st Place!!! FUUUUCKKKHHH!!!!! >:O

[123456789million]

i no its fucking retarted!!

[wolfalconxwolfalcon]

@JohnnyFuzz13 LOL. Try comeflywithme cheat. juz type it on the game and drive slowly lol.

[35eyal]

i stole hilary's Car! :D

[TheOneAndOnlyFink]

Or instead of subscribing, you can click on the right most button and turn the message off like I did.

[manojprasad1]

lol it worked i tried it bout 16 times but at the end i was able to beat his ass out !! thanx 4 the vid no need to subscribe anymore haha !!

[nick92691]

fuck that,i tried this at least 15 times and it didnt work,i used the dodo cheat and hover water cheat just in case,but he almost went in the water but didnt so at the very end when i almost lost near the malibu he flew up and went on top of the malibu and i won LOL

[mko332]

thx worked for me

[Brandon5495]

shitty graphics but awesome way to beat the mission... good job 5/5
