Complete The Money Truck and The Briefcase Courier missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, earning up to $5,500 per mission.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mission 2 - The Money Truck: Get close enough to the money truck. Drivers will call for additional backup. Find out the truck's destination, get ahead of it, exit your vehicle, and kill the driver with a Sniper Rifle. Get in the truck, go to the nearest Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of the Wanted Rating, and make your way back to your business to successfully complete the mission.
  2. 2
    Mission 3 - The Briefcase Courier: Start in Vice Point. Get in the designated boat to ambush the courier in their boat, which has additional backup. Your boat is fragile and can only take a few hits before being destroyed; if it is destroyed, you have failed the mission. You can switch to another boat after getting in yours. Immediately speed to the Jetski at either Prawn Island or near the Vice Point Pay 'N' Spray (depending on where you started). Get on the Jetski and speed to your target. The Jetski is fast, small, and hard to hit, and you can shoot forward. Once you reach the courier, get behind the backup, kill them, then get behind the courier and shoot them dead. Get beside the courier's boat, climb in, get the briefcase, jump out, get back on the Jetski, and speed to the Pay 'N' Spray. When you get back on land, get a car and drive back to the business to successfully complete the mission.

    Mission 4 - The Money Truck: This mission is the same as Mission 2, but the gang is better armed. The same strategy applies.
  4. 4
    Mission 5 - The Briefcase Courier: This mission is the same as Mission 3, but you will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating when you get close to the boat, and there will be an extra backup boat following your target. Start at Vice Point, grab the Jetski quickly, and do the same as in Mission 3.
  5. 5
    Mission 6 - The Briefcase Courier: This mission is the same as Mission 1 (presumably referring to an earlier, unlisted Briefcase Courier mission), but you get a 2-Star Wanted Rating and the gang is tougher. Start in Downtown and quickly get the Firetruck. After killing the courier and grabbing the briefcase, you must run away quickly on foot because you will be dealing with AK-47 wielding enemies and the Cops, who may blow up nearby vehicles. Use any nearby alleys to evade them long enough to find a vehicle, preferably one at one of your nearby Empire Sites. Once you find a vehicle, speed to the nearest Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of the Wanted Rating and head back to the business to successfully complete the mission.
  6. 6
    After completing the last Robbery Reputation Mission, you will maximize your reputation and become a Heist Meister.

C. Smuggling

The smuggling missions are done differently than other Reputation Missions. The money you make is based on how many packages you bring back to the warehouse (number of crates x $200). The first part of each mission is collecting packages, and the second part is bringing them back to the warehouse. The truck used for taking packages has its back open, and you can lose packages if you run into things. Even if you use a Pay 'N' Spray, the truck's back remains open, and you can still lose packages. If you lose all packages or get the truck destroyed, the mission fails. Converting Empire Sites [ES-VCP19] in Vice Point and [ES-OCB30] in Ocean Beach to Smuggling Businesses can make missions easier.

Mission 1 - The Drop: Start at Ocean Beach. Get to the designated boat and drive to the helicopter. The helicopter will drop one package, then three more. You must pick up the three packages before it drops more. You have a one-minute time limit, with a three-second increase for each package collected. There is a Damage Meter, but avoid running into anything other than packages. After collecting fifteen packages, return to the jetty (usually Vice City Marina) within a limited time to drive the truck back to the warehouse and become a Mule.

Mission 2 - Supply and Demand: Start at Ocean Beach. Get to the designated boat.
