Road Kill

Embark on a series of deadly assments in the Road Kill Pay Phone missions. These assassination contracts require you to eliminate targets using vehicles, often with creative and brutal methods. Master vehicular combat and strategic driving to complete these grim tasks.

The Road Kill Pay Phone missions are a particularly brutal and memorable set of assassination contracts in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Unlike other Pay Phone missions that might involve direct gunplay, Road Kill specifically tasks you with eliminating your targets using vehicles. This often means running them over, using car bombs, or employing other vehicular mayhem. These missions test your driving skills under pressure and your ability to think creatively about how to use your car as a weapon.

Unlocking Road Kill Missions

The Road Kill missions are initiated by answering specific pay phones scattered throughout Vice City. These phones will typically be marked with a red 'P' icon on your mini-map. The first set of Road Kill missions becomes available after you've progressed a certain way through the main storyline, usually after completing a sificant portion of the early missions for Tommy Vercetti.

Mission Structure and Targets

Each Road Kill mission involves receiving a call from a mysterious client who provides details about your target and the method of elimination. The targets are often individuals who have crossed the wrong people, and their demise is to be swift and, ideally, untraceable.

Key Locations of Road Kill Pay Phones

While the exact locations can vary slightly, here are some common spots where you'll find the Road Kill Pay Phones:

Downtown Vice City: Often found in alleyways or near less conspicuous buildings.
Ocean Drive: Sometimes located near the less crowded sections of Ocean Drive, away from the main tourist hubs.
Little Haiti/Little Havana: These areas can also hide pay phones in quieter corners.
Industrial Areas: Look around docks or warehouses.

Strategies for Success

Choose the Right Vehicle: For many of these missions, the vehicle you start with or can easily acquire nearby is crucial. A fast, durable car is often ideal. Sometimes, the mission might even provide a specific vehicle.
Master Vehicular Combat: Learn to use your vehicle as a weapon. Ramming into targets at high speed is the most common tactic. Be aware of your surroundings and use traffic to your advantage or disadvantage.
Explosive Opportunities: Keep an eye out for explosive barrels or cars. These can be used to quickly eliminate targets or groups of enemies.
Patience and Observation: Sometimes, the target might be in a difficult-to-reach location or surrounded by bodyguards. Observe their patrol patterns and wait for the opportune moment to strike.
Use the Environment: Vice City is full of alleys, one-way streets, and traffic. Use these to your advantage to corner your target or to escape after the deed is done.
Be Prepared for a Chase: After eliminating a target, you might need to escape from the police or rival gang members. Have a getaway route planned.
Save Frequently: These missions can be challenging and sometimes require multiple attempts. Save your game after each successful mission to avoid losing progress.

The Road Kill missions offer a dark and thrilling aspect to Vice City's gameplay. They push the boundaries of vehicular violence and provide a unique challenge for players looking to explore all facets of Tommy Vercetti's rise to power.
