can anyone give me some pointers?

mostly lvl 6 is the hardest
thx in advance

Level 6 in both locations is pretty difficult, but is particularly so for the one in the Trailer Park. The reason is that the majority of the higher levels will be spent in the Downtown and Museum Districts. So this means you have to dodge not only rockets from the attack helicopters and ground members on foot, but skyscrapers as well. Fun, fun, fun! I have not played this in a while. I will start with the walkthrough of the Trailer Park one since it is the more difficult of the two and any advice I give you should work for the one in The Barrio as well.

Okay, off we go!

First, you need to PRACTICE with the helicopter. You need to get used to using the rudders and the pitch controls simultaneously. You then need to be pretty damned good to pilot into and out of the labyrinth of skyscrapers and other structures like the Railroad tracks, for instance. Sometimes your targets and your Homies will disappear under one of these overpasses, so TRY your damndest to destroy your targets before they disappear. Otherwise you will be faced with the daunting task of trying to shoot at them between little openings until they emerge.

1. Prioritize your targets! If you see a little up arrow indicating an attack chopper is on your ass, STOP whatever you are doing and get that destroyed. Because, as you probably already know, you can only tale one, maybe two hits from its missiles before you blow up, failing the mission. Not only that, but that copter will deal out a great deal more damage to Shaundi in a short period of time than the ground troops will. If a helicopter is a lot higher than you, DO NOT WAIT for it to come down as it may be too late by then. Take to the higher skies and blow his sorry ass from the sky.

2. Forget the damned chaingun. It is a useless piece of shit for this mission. MISSILES ONLY!!

3. Get good at aiming your missiles WITHOUT A LOCK! This is one of the most vital parts of this mission in both locations. The reason is that sometimes the game can be a little finicky about WHEN it gives you a lock, and take too much time. Meanwhile, your Homie is getting shot to shit. Now this requires a delicate touch, good piloting skills, and the ability to sort of lead your opponents and shoot AHEAD of them. Remember it takes your missiles a few seconds to reach the ground, and you will have to take this into account and factor in whatever height you happen to be at while you are shooting. This too will vary, as sometimes you will be able to get closer to the ground, and other times, you will have just dispatched a helicopter and may be a little higher. The key here is that sometimes you can get an immediate lock, and that is perfect, because then most of the time, you get the kill automatically. But if you depend too much on the target-lock you will be allowing your enemies to deal Shaundi or your other Homies way too much damage. The ONLY exception to this is the helicopters. I have found that trying to fire at the helicopters without a lock is a lot tougher. So you will have to wait for a lock most of the time for them. Sometimes this involves cajoling the game to give you one by rotating and aiming your nose more in line with the enemy helicopter. One thing this game could have used, in addition to the auto-lock, is a forced lock on target button, where the game FORCES your helicopter to lock onto the closest potential target to wherever you are pointing. That would make the sometimes dodgy lock on system better.

4. If your Homie is stopped, usually it is making a delivery or getting food, and he or she is surrounded by enemies, here is a little trick I discovered by trial and error: Shoot right at your ally's van! I kid you not. Your missiles will not hurt your Homie's vehicle in the slightest, but will blow the crap out of anyone stupid enough to be surrounding them. Don't be afraid to shoot right at or right around your Homie's position to destroy your enemies.

5. Watch the gang members in vehicles with the RPG's, they can be a real pain in the ass. You can usually evade the rockets, but it is best to destroy those vehicles with as much alacrity as you did the helicopters, simply because of the damage they will deal out to you and your Homie if you don't.


Hope this helps!

what i did was i'd shoot rockets where cars would be before it had properly lock on, cause by the time the rocket is half way towards the car i'd have locked on by then and it will go straight for it.

and shooting rockets before they lock on will still follow it a little but its not as good as it would be fully locked on,

so just keep shooting rockets cause they have a wide radius so you will destory alot,
