Mission walkthrough
-
Prepare before visiting Sweet
Bring armour, ammunition and a reliable vehicle. Keep a separate save if you want to revisit the early Los Santos state before the story changes.
-
Meet Cesar under the freeway
Follow Cesar’s call to the marked alley and enter his car to watch the discovery. Do not drive directly to the ambush before completing this meeting.
-
Reach Sweet quickly
After the scene, travel straight to the ambush while monitoring Sweet’s health. Avoid optional stops and approach with a vehicle that can survive the trip.
-
Hold off the Ballas
Get out near cover and clear attackers around Sweet. Watch for additional enemies arriving in cars and keep defending the position until the police arrival triggers the next scene.
-
Continue from Angel Pine
The story relocates CJ and changes access to earlier activities. Follow the new countryside mission markers rather than expecting the old Grove Street mission chain to continue immediately.
Key point
The police arrival is scripted. The objective is to protect Sweet through the Ballas waves, not to escape the scene or defeat an endless police response.
