Ambulance Missions
The Ambulance Missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories offer a unique and often frantic way to earn money and gain a different perspective on the city's emergencies. As a paramedic, you'll be tasked with responding to calls, picking up patients, and delivering them to the hospital, all while dealing with the chaos of Vice City.
To start the Ambulance Missions, you need to find an ambulance. These vehicles can often be found parked outside hospitals or sometimes driving around the city. Once you're in the ambulance, press the desated button to start the mission. You'll then be presented with a series of calls, each requiring you to reach a specific location, pick up an injured person, and transport them to the nearest hospital.
Mission Objectives:
- Respond to Calls: You'll receive a notification on your screen indicating a new emergency. A timer will start, and you'll need to reach the patient's location as quickly as possible.
- Pick Up Patients: Once you arrive at the scene, you'll need to exit the ambulance and approach the patient. You'll then carry them back to the vehicle.
- Transport to Hospital: Drive the ambulance to the nearest hospital. The game will mark the hospital on your mini-map.
- Deliver Patients: Upon arrival at the hospital, you'll need to get out and place the patient on a gurney.
The challenge in these missions comes from the time limit and the often dangerous environments you'll encounter. You'll need to drive recklessly but skillfully to reach your destinations on time. Be prepared for traffic, police chases, and even hostile individuals who might try to interfere with your work. Using the ambulance's siren can help clear traffic, but it also attracts attention.

- Increased Payout: With each successful patient delivery, you earn money. The amount increases as you complete more levels of the mission.

- Drive aggressively but carefully: Avoid crashing, as it can injure your patients and damage your ambulance.
- Use the siren strategically: It can clear traffic but also attract unwanted attention.
- Don't be afraid to steal another vehicle: If your ambulance is too damaged, you might need to switch to a faster car to complete the delivery.
