Mastering the combat mechanics and vehicle handling will be paramount to surviving these challenging assments.
Remember to save frequently after completing difficult sections, and utilize the various weapon pickups and health packs scattered throughout the city. Dimitri's missions are a core part of Niko's journey, shaping his reputation and his alliances within Liberty City's criminal landscape.
