Autocide — Pay Phone Missions Walkthrough

The "Autocide" pay phone mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a challenging assassination contract that requires precision and quick thinking. This mission, initiated from a pay phone, tasks Tommy Vercetti with eliminating a series of targets who are all driving specific vehicles. Success hinges on efficient target acquisition and execution.

The pay phone for "Autocide" is located in the North Point Mall area, on the eastern side of Vice City. Once you activate the mission, you'll receive a list of targets and their vehicles. The core mechanic of this mission is that you must assassinate each target while they are inside their desated car, and you must do so using a specific weapon: the silenced pistol. This adds a layer of stealth and precision to the mission.

Your first target will be marked on your minimap. You'll need to locate their vehicle and approach it. The targets are often on the move, so you'll need to be quick. Once you've identified the correct vehicle, get close enough to aim your silenced pistol through the window. A headshot is usually the most effective way to ensure a quick kill. Be mindful of police attention; if you cause too much chaos, you might find yourself dealing with a wanted level while trying to complete your assassinations.

After eliminating the first target, the next target and their vehicle will be revealed. You'll need to repeat the process, moving from one location to the next. The targets are spread out across Vice City, so be prepared for some driving. It's highly recommended to have a fast car ready before starting the mission, as this will sificantly reduce travel time between targets. Also, ensure you have plenty of ammunition for your silenced pistol. If you get into a shootout, prioritize stealth and precision over brute force. The mission is desed to test your ability to remain calm under pressure and execute precise shots. Successfully eliminating all targets will complete the "Autocide" mission, rewarding you with cash and potentially unlocking further pay phone missions or advancing your standing with the mission giver.
