Sweet's Girl
This mission is a straightforward rescue operation, but requires careful execution to ensure Sweet's girlfriend, Denise, is saved without incident. You'll be driving, so make sure your driving skill is decent, and be prepared for some close-quarters combat.
Mission Briefing
Sweet calls you, frantic, explaining that Denise is trapped in a burning house in Idlewood, surrounded by Ballas. You need to get there fast and extract her.
Walkthrough
- Get to the House:
- Immediately after the call, hop into a fast car. The mission timer starts ticking as soon as you accept.
- Follow the red blip on your radar to the burning house in Idlewood. It's marked clearly, so don't waste time navigating.
- Drive carefully but quickly. Collisions will slow you down and damage your vehicle, which you might need later.
- Clear the Perimeter:
- As you approach the house, you'll see several Ballas gang members loitering outside. They are hostile.
- Strategy: It's best to run over as many as you can with your car before getting out. This minimizes the immediate threat.
- Alternatively, if you prefer a more direct approach, exit your vehicle and engage them with a reliable weapon like the 9mm Pistol or Micro SMG. Aim for headshots to conserve ammo.
- Ensure all Ballas outside the house are eliminated before proceeding inside.
- Rescue Denise:
- Once the exterior is clear, enter the burning house.
- Inside, you'll find Denise. She's safe for now, but the house is on fire and will collapse if you take too long.
- Approach Denise to trigger a cutscene where she joins you.
- Escape the House:
- With Denise in tow, immediately turn around and exit the house the way you came in.
- The fire inside will intensify, and you'll hear creaking sounds, indicating the house is becoming unstable. Don't linger.
- Drive Denise Home:
- Once outside, get back into your car with Denise.
- A new yellow blip will appear on your radar, marking Denise's home in East Los Santos.
- Drive her there safely. There will be no further enemy encounters during this drive, so focus on smooth driving.
- Deliver Denise to her doorstep to successfully complete the mission.
Tips for Success
- Weapon Choice: A Micro SMG or Tec-9 is excellent for clearing the Ballas quickly due to their high rate of fire. If you only have a 9mm Pistol, aim for headshots.
- Vehicle Condition: Try to keep your car in good condition before entering the house. You'll need it for a quick getaway with Denise.
- Health and Armor: If you're low on health or armor, consider picking some up before starting the mission. There are no health pickups readily available near the burning house.
- Time Limit: While not explicitly displayed as a strict timer, the burning house sequence implies a time limit. Move efficiently once inside.
