Shoreside Vale Side Missions

Shoreside Vale Side Missions

Welcome to Shoreside Vale, the final frontier of Liberty City Stories! This guide will walk you through the various side missions available in this industrial and residential borough. Completing these missions is crucial for earning extra cash, improving your standing with various factions, and unlocking valuable rewards. Remember to stock up on armor and ammunition before tackling some of the more challenging tasks.

Avenging Angels

The Avenging Angels vigilante missions are a great way to earn some quick cash and improve your combat skills. You can initiate these missions by entering a Patriot vehicle, which can often be found parked near the Wichita Gardens safehouse or driving around the residential areas of Shoreside Vale.

• Objective: Eliminate gang members who are harassing innocent citizens.
• Strategy:
  1. Locate a Patriot and enter it. The mission will begin automatically.
  2. A red blip will appear on your radar, indicating the location of the gang members. Drive to their location quickly.
  3. Exit your Patriot and engage the gang members. Prioritize targets with firearms. A good strategy is to use a powerful weapon like the AK-47 or Shotgun for quick takedowns.
  4. Be mindful of your health and armor. If things get too hairy, retreat to cover or use a health pickup if available nearby.
  5. After eliminating the initial group, more gang members may appear as reinforcements. Stay vigilant.
  6. Completing multiple levels consecutively will increase your reward and unlock the Bulletproof Patriot at your safehouses after completing Level 15.
• Rewards: Cash rewards increase with each completed level. Completing Level 15 unlocks the Bulletproof Patriot.

Trashmaster

Tired of the usual mayhem? Take on the role of a garbage collector in the Trashmaster missions. These missions require careful driving and time management, as you'll be collecting trash bins across Shoreside Vale.

• Objective: Collect designated trash bins within a time limit.
• Location: Find a Trashmaster vehicle. These are commonly found in the Pike Creek industrial area, particularly near the large warehouses.
• Strategy:
  1. Enter the Trashmaster to start the mission.
  2. A series of yellow blips will appear on your radar, marking the trash bins.
  3. Drive to each blip and stop the Trashmaster next to the bin. A short animation will play as Toni collects the trash.
  4. Be careful not to damage the Trashmaster too much, as it can be destroyed, failing the mission.
  5. The time limit is generous initially but becomes tighter in later levels. Plan your route efficiently to minimize travel time.
  6. Watch out for other vehicles and pedestrians, as collisions can slow you down.
  7. Completing all levels will provide a significant cash bonus.
• Rewards: Cash rewards increase with each completed level.

RC Triad Take-Down

This unique side mission puts you in control of a remote-controlled vehicle, tasked with destroying Triad vans. It's a fun diversion that requires precision and a bit of explosive timing.

• Objective: Destroy Triad vans using an RC car equipped with explosives.
• Location: Look for the RC van parked in the Pike Creek area, specifically near the docks or industrial buildings.
• Strategy:
  1. Approach and enter the RC van to begin. You'll switch to controlling a small RC car.
  2. Navigate the RC car towards the Triad vans, marked as red blips on your radar.
  3. Maneuver the RC car close to a Triad van and detonate the explosives. You have a limited number of RC cars, so make each one count.
  4. The Triad vans will be moving, so anticipate their paths and try to intercept them.
  5. Be aware of the environment; the RC car can be damaged by collisions or enemy fire if the Triads spot you.
  6. Completing all levels will earn you a substantial reward.
• Rewards: Cash rewards increase with each completed level.

Wasteland Warrior

Similar to the Avenging Angels, Wasteland Warrior is another vigilante-style mission, but with a focus on eliminating specific targets in a more aggressive manner. This mission is ideal for players who enjoy direct combat.

• Objective: Hunt down and eliminate marked targets.
• Location: Find a Rhino tank. The most reliable spawn point for a Rhino is typically at the Fort Staunton Army Base after completing the main story mission "Arms Dealer" or by achieving a 6-star wanted level. Alternatively, you can find one parked in the military base in Shoreside Vale (though accessing it can be challenging without a high wanted level).
• Strategy:
  1. Enter the Rhino tank to start the mission.
  2. Red blips will appear on your radar, indicating the targets.
  3. Use the Rhino's powerful cannon to destroy the target vehicles or eliminate the target individuals. The tank is incredibly durable, making this mission relatively straightforward in terms of survival.
  4. Be mindful of the collateral damage you cause, as it can attract unwanted police attention. However, inside the Rhino, a wanted level is less of a concern.
  5. Complete multiple levels to maximize your earnings.
• Rewards: Cash rewards increase with each completed level.
