Post-Game Content

Congratulations, Triad! You've navigated the treacherous streets of Liberty City, avenged your father, and established your dominance. But the journey doesn't end with the final cutscene. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars offers a wealth of post-game content to keep you immersed in its gritty underworld, from achieving 100% completion to mastering every mission.

100% Completion Checklist

For the truly dedicated, reaching 100% completion is the ultimate goal. This involves more than just finishing the story missions. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you’ll need to accomplish:

  • Complete All Story Missions: This is the core requirement, naturally.
  • Complete All Side Missions:
    • Rampages: Find and complete all 30 Rampages scattered across Liberty City. These are marked by a skull icon on your map once discovered.
    • Drug Dealing: Master the drug trade. This isn't just about making money; you'll need to successfully complete a certain number of drug deals and potentially trigger specific events within the drug economy.
    • Delivery Missions: Successfully complete all delivery missions, which typically involve transporting goods for various contacts.
    • Xin's Missions: While not strictly required for 100% completion, the additional missions involving Xin, such as "Deadly Xin" and "Xin's of the Father," are a fun challenge and provide extra narrative. These can be unlocked by finding the Lions of Fo or by simply beating the mission "Under the Gun."
  • Collectibles:
    • Security Cameras: Destroy all 100 security cameras hidden throughout the city. Each destroyed camera grants you a small cash bonus.
    • Stunt Jumps: Successfully complete all 30 unique stunt jumps. Look for ramps and elevated areas that encourage daring leaps.
    • Lions of Fo: Locate all 100 stone Lions of Fo. Finding these unlocks various bonuses, including weapons at your safehouses.
  • Vehicle-Related Activities:
    • Hotwiring: Successfully hotwire a certain number of vehicles.
    • Car Jacking: Steal several different car types.
  • Other Activities:
    • Win All Races: Dominate the streets by winning every available race event.
    • Earn All Medals in Mission Replays: While not directly tied to the 100% completion percentage, striving for Gold medals in every mission replay is a significant post-game challenge.
    • Achieve Specific Stats: Certain in-game statistics, such as a high kill count, a certain amount of money earned, or a specific number of unique cars driven, might contribute to your overall completion.

Mission Replay and Medal Hunting

Once you've completed the main story, a new challenge awaits: earning medals on every mission. At any safehouse, interact with the whiteboard to access the Mission Replay menu. Here, you can re-attempt any story mission you've already completed.

Understanding Medals

Each mission has a target time for Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals. Your goal is to complete the mission within the shortest possible time to achieve the highest medal. Here's what you need to know:

  • Time is Paramount: The only factor determining your medal is the time it takes to complete the mission.
  • No Carryover: Be aware that any stats (money, weapons, etc.) gained or lost during a mission replay will not carry over to your main game save. These replays are purely for medal hunting.
  • Strategic Shortcuts: Learn the most efficient routes and shortcuts for each mission. Don't be afraid to experiment with different paths.
  • Prioritize Objectives: Focus solely on the mission objectives. If you can skip combat encounters or avoid unnecessary detours, do so. Every second counts.
  • Weapon Loadout: Before starting a replay, ensure you have your preferred weapons and ample ammunition. While stats don't carry over, having the right tools from the start can save crucial time.
  • Vehicle Choice: Select the fastest and most durable vehicle available for driving-heavy missions.

Tips for Gold Medals

  • Practice Makes Perfect: Don't expect to get Gold on your first try. Repeated attempts will help you memorize routes and enemy placements.
  • Exploit Game Mechanics: Use your mini-map effectively to plan your next move. Don't hesitate to use grenades or other explosives to clear groups of enemies quickly.
  • Avoid Wanted Levels: While sometimes unavoidable, try to minimize your time spent with a wanted level, as evading the police can be a significant time sink.
  • Skip Cutscenes: Always skip cutscenes during replays to save time.

Exploring Liberty City

Even after completing all missions and collecting everything, Liberty City still offers plenty to do:

  • Drug Dealing Empire: Continue to expand your drug dealing network. Master the supply and demand across different districts to maximize your profits. Keep an eye on the market fluctuations displayed on your PDA.
  • Vehicle Collection: Seek out and "collect" (store in your safehouse garages) every unique vehicle in the game.
  • Rampage Records: Revisit Rampages to try and beat your previous scores.
  • Just Cause Chaos: Sometimes, the most fun is simply causing mayhem throughout the city, experimenting with different weapons, and seeing how long you can survive a 6-star wanted level.
