Lance Vance

Brawn of the Dead

Lance debuts his new "terrifying" outfit while you harass Martinez over the phone--your old Sergeant friend threatens to turn states evidence and ruin you. Lance figures you can sell the goods, pay off the Feds, and everything will work out. First things first--meet with a potential buyer. Hop into the car and drive to the mall before the indicated time. It’s to the far north on this island.

You find Spitz at the mall; he’s filming a zombie movie and needs a stuntman. You fill the role while Lance discusses snow business with Spitz. Fill the "gore" meter by shooting the zombies. Don’t allow the gore meter to empty. If the meter empties before the timer runs out, you’ll fail as an actor! Basically just press the "R" button to target, shoot the zombie, and then move on to the next one. If there are no targets, move around to find the closest zombie.

In the next scene, zombies are invading the record store--prevent them! Do your best Frank West from Dead Rising imitation and hack up the zombies with your katana blade! Keep close to the record store entrance to ensure none of the undead enters. Hit the targeting button and slice up the closest zombie. If you don’t target, you may end up kicking already hacked up zombies.

After these two tasks, Lance is ready to head back. Drive back to Lance’s apartment only to discover mom ran off with the goods! Collect your $850 reward.

Blitzkrieg

If you haven’t been building an empire then Lance will think you’re being lazy--why aren’t you out expanding your empire? Before you can accept this task you will have to expand to a total of five businesses.

Apparently the Mendezes’ don’t want you dead any longer--but they do want to ruin your businesses. Oh and maybe inflict physical pain. Lance takes off to protect the empire. Follow him! He’s headed over to the western island. Drive to the marked location. Lance must survive this battle--hordes of enemy gang members approach from the west and east along this road.

Target each approaching gang member in turn and eliminate them. Don’t shoot your own posse and don’t let Lance die. Finish off the attackers to complete the mission and earn your reward.

Turn On, Tune In, Bug Out

Lance thinks his apartment is bugged--the DEA are on to you guys. Lance claims if you destroy the police antennae, the DEA won’t receive a signal. You must destroy the antenna with a rocket launcher or a grenade. There’s an onscreen evidence meter that slowly rises. Destroy antennae to slow it down. Don’t let the evidence meter to get full or the mission ends in failure.

The first station is at Washington Beach. Drive to the police station and use the stairs behind the building to reach the roof. Destroy both antennae on top of the Washington Beach police station. You’ve alerted police forces. There’s a helicopter nearby, which can be used to fly to the next police station or you can use a car.

Your destination is the Little Havana police station. Pilot the helicopter or drive to the back and find the staircase. Destroy the next two police antennae--this raises your wanted level to four. Take a helicopter or a car to the final police station, due north into downtown.

In a car, drive to the back eastern side of the police station and climb the stairs to the roof. Eliminate the officers here or just go for the antennae. Obliterate the antennae before the evidence meter completes to finish the first part of this mission. Now your wanted level is five. The Feds are after you and they don’t mess around: even with full armor you won’t last long against their firearms. To complete the mission you must lower your wanted level completely.

The best way to survive this section is to use the police helicopter. Fly it to a nearby construction site. Land next to the crane and find the police bribe icon. Grab it to lower your wanted level to four, which is much more manageable. Hop into the bulldozer and plow your way to the nearest Pay N’ Spray--receive your $300 reward for mission completion.

Taking the Fall

Lance claims the bikers are helping themselves to the product and he wants to enact a little revenge. You’re tasked to pilot the helicopter while Lance mans the weaponry. Pilot the helicopter toward the bikers. There are a couple onscreen meters. The first is the damage meter; don’t get shot down. The second is a balance meter. Tilting the helicopter lowers Lance’s balance; if balance is lost completely, Lance stops firing. Straighten the helicopter to restore the balance.

Follow the bikers closely and keep the helicopter level so Lance fires and fires accurately. After eliminating the first group, fly toward the hotel to find additional bikers. Point Lance toward the bikers; don’t get too close or you will suffer damage. Ascend toward the hotel roof and eliminate remaining bikers--however, the bikers inflict enough damage to down the helicopter.

Once you’re on the ground, you must rescue Lance and defeat a horde of bikers. Eliminate the bikers on the ground. There’s a police bribe nearby if you want to keep your wanted level down. Go to the far end of the construction site past the truck to find a ramp leading up the scaffolding. Terminate the bikers on the scaffolding and inside the structure. Find Lance at the marked location. He escapes on a bike and leaves you to your $300 reward.
