1) use the other exit just next to the place where you put the bomb 2) there is a car parked across the mall. Use that ( you don't need a police car) 3) there is a paint shop nearby, drive there in this car. 4) once all stars are gone, drive peacefully to your destination

[@TheStepmonkey]

For real, Lance is the worst

[@marcjohn9404]

He's putting on a facade for the first half of the game, I think once he earns Tommy's trust, he lets his guard down and some of that mask peels away. We also see him dejected after he fails to take down Diaz, and from there he starts showing his true colors. In that first phone call after you defeat Diaz, where he accuses you of disrespecting him in front of the boys, he's clearly coked out and paranoid, the voice actor even sounds like he's sniffing as he's talking, which is a great touch, because it paints this picture of Lance as being impulsive, thrill seeking, and he would have lost his "rush" once he won over Tommy and once Diaz was dead. Normally you can't read that much into it, but Rockstar really invests a lot of time into these stories and the characters, they're actually wanting us to read between the lines, and it's really brilliant the subtle ways that Lance changes, and how realistic it is to how someone might change in real life if they were turning their back on you.

When I was doing this mission. On my 30th try. While I was trying to get the cops attention, Lance started aiming at a random cop. He ended up shotgunning the car in front of him blowing up and killing himself. That’s when I said fuck it and just used a cheat. I played through all of gta 5, gta 4 and the DLC, and gta 3 recently.

[@merciless41582]

This mission is a reference to the film Copland (1997) which Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetti) co starred in. In my opinion, CopLand is the most underrated movie of all time. Stallone and Ray’s performances were truly Oscar worthy. I wish Scorsese had directed that movie. It would’ve been one of his best ever. There are too many glitches and bugs in this version of GTA Vice City. Granted, the game looks incredible on the PS5. But I feel Rockstar rushed releasing this trilogy. Take this mission for example. Lance doesn’t follow you out the mall and if you get out of a vehicle, he starts running the other way.

The best thing to do after beating this mission (Cop Land), is to purchase (if you have not already done so) Sunshine Autos. Reason being, at Sunshine Autos down below the ramp, you can access six different races. Once you've purchased Sunshine Autos, each time you win the final race, you're awarded $40,000. Knowing this, just repeat the final race (race 6) over and over until you've earned enough money to purchase each and every property. This is the best and fastest way to complete Vice City 100%.

*EASY WAY to beat this mission:* ⚠️ After getting the cop uniforms get a fast car BUT don't follow the map, use the parallel street to get to the mall. Thanks to this u'll still be recognized as a "cop" and u'll avoid all the shooting inside the mall. When u get to it, in the closest exit to where u plant the bomb, u'll sea a police bribe star so park ur car right next to it, facing the back alley. After planting the bomb, run away to the police bribe star then to ur car (wait for the stupid Lance to get in) and drive to the nearest Pay n Spray, which is really close. Wait for all the police stars to disappear and then u can easily drive back to the mansion.

Most infuriating mission ever. I rarely get the cops to follow me into the garage; they either stand outside or sit in their car. When I can actually get them to run into the lockup, the fucking door won't close for some reason (there is nothing blocking the door). Or I get past that, and Lance stays in the fucking Mall and I have to go back in for him and get killed. Glad I saw this video though because it's a LOT easier to get the cops into the lockup if you drive a car into it.

[@mr.mememan636]

I just got GTA the trilogy (definitive edition) and, Jesus Christ, this mission and "publicity tour" are up there with the most insufferable, pain in the dick missions I have played through in all of my gaming experiences so far, right next to inner agent 3 Where do I start, how about, just let me do the goddamn mission alone. 90% of the time, Lance is the reason why I failed this mission. He's slow, he blocked my way multiple times, he sometimes doesn't leave the mall, he doesn't get in the car fast enough before the entire police station is at the driver side door, he shoots vehicles and blows them up killing himself in the process, and has the nerve to call me up afterwards to tell me I'm the asshole. Then getting the uniforms is a pain in the ass too. I punch an officer to get his attention, and Lance blows him away with his shotgun and brings more attention, which then causes police cars to block the loading door, so you have to risk getting busted by getting in the car and moving them, all the while getting shot at. And the drive back is relentless. Constantly getting banged by a van that shouldn't be faster but somehow is, getting hit from every cop car in vice city from every direction like a hit and run gangbang, catching fire and not escaping the vehicle in time, or escaping the vehicle that's about to explode, but Lance doesn't move his ass, so he gets killed, or if you, by some miracle, get into another car, it's either Lance doesn't move quick enough to get in the car before you're either busted, or he gets shot and dies. Then some of the cops are able to stick to your car to arrest you, even if you're going fast. They stick to the car and open the door to arrest you like the goddamn vice city spider man. And for a little insight, every mission restarts from the very beginning if you fail. I've never in my life gotten so angry in a video game to the point where I just sat there numb to the pain of seeing "Mission Failed! Wasted" over and over again, doing the same rinse wash repeat routine constantly getting killed (probably because of Lance) with no more emotion. No anger, no tears, just a migraine and lower than low expectations, doing the same routine over and over like a goddamn robot. Fuck this mission Fuck Lance And here's hoping there are no more missions that do this to me later on in the game

[@tracebaker]

That about sums it up for me too. I just somehow completed this mission after replaying it and replaying it for an entire hour and now my throat is sore from all the raging I did. (and I've gotten better about not raging, but this shit had me really, really pissed off) Idk if the original Vice City was like this, but it's really disappointing that the definitive edition is so bad or at least Vice City definitive (I haven't played the other two yet and here's hoping they won't be as bad 🤞🏻) and this is coming from someone who fully supports Rockstar games.

@@tracebaker exactly, I don't rage as much as I used to Breaking your Nintendo switch because of raging at Fortnite (the reason why I quit that game) will do that to a person. But holy shit, this mission broke me. I had just got done doing publicity tour which already brought my piss to a boil, as if I were cooking ramen out of my urethra, then Cop Land decides to kick me in the dick while I'm down. Congratulations on completing that hellish mission, glad you were able to crawl out of that hell hole. I'm sure the original vice city was probably like this too, as trying to escape from a 5 stars wanted level is hard even off mission (but again, it'd be 10× easier without needing to babysit Lance) not to mention the ps2 probably had its own bugs that people let slide since it's such an old console.

@@mr.mememan636 Oh God I haven't even played publicly tour yet. I wonder how many more missions are like this.

[@mr.mememan636]

@@tracebaker let me put it this way, have you ever seen the movie "Speed"? It's that, but with 4 drunken Scottish rock stars yelling at each other

@@mr.mememan636 I don't remember if I have, but I imagine I'm soon to go through some more hell.

Having the same issue.

[@Random_Ed1tZ8]

this mission was hard but i figured it out, here's what i did: first i took the fast car right at the garage at vercetti's estate/diaz's mansion next i killed a cop to gain 2 star wanted level next plant the bomb at the tarbush cafe and go outside where i parked my car and go go the nearest paint n spray and now i drive peacefully to go at the mansion (if it's too confusing for you, please let me know at the replies)

[@robertclark2253]

You can also use a helicopter for the entire mission , there's a maverick on the mansion roof and if you've got 80 hidden packages there should be a sea sparrow in the back of the mansion next to the outdoor swimming pool . I've recorded Copland with a normal car , a se sparrow and a tank if you're interested .

[@nicolesaldana6332]

i thought autocide was hard, and then i played this damn level 💀

[@bigsof7381]

3:21 i rembember tarbush cafe was nearer

[@allmightyjesse6334]

The cop’s face looks so mean & funny for the definitive edition 😂😂

[@teacupalice]

Don’t use a police car to get there, take a bike, take it into the mall, quick escape vehicle and you won’t loose lance

[@Geographical_EditZ12]

I don't know why but the shutter just doesn't close.... and lance is an absolute shithead in this mission, i did the demolition man mission in 2 tries but this mission took me like 25 tries
