GTA Vice City - Walkthrough - Mission #21 - Shakedown (HD)

🟨 Mission Title: Shakedown 🎮 Mission Giver: Tommy Vercetti (self-initiated after “Rub Out”) 📍 Location: Start: Vercetti Estate (formerly Diaz’s Mansion) Action: North Point Mall, Vice Point 📝 Mission Type: Territory control / Extortion setup 🎯 Mission Objectives: After a cutscene with Ken Rosenberg, head to the North Point Mall. Your job? Trash 4 stores inside the mall to send a message. Use a weapon to destroy merchandise/displays — usually TVs, shelves, or cash registers. Cops show up after some destruction — fight or flee while completing the objective. Once all 4 shops are wrecked, escape the area and lose your wanted level. 🏁 Walkthrough Highlights: Ken’s worried — you’ve taken over Diaz’s turf, but no one’s paying protection. Tommy’s solution? Remind everyone who’s boss, the old-school way. Once you get to the mall, you’ll need to locate 4 marked shops: Some sell electronics (shoot TVs). Some have shelves or displays — smash them up. After breaking 2 or so, the cops come hard — usually 2-star wanted level. You can finish the other 2 fast, or handle the cops first — up to you. Escape the mall, lose the heat, and the mission’s yours. ⚠️ Tips for Success: Bring a bat, shotgun, or SMG — you’ll need something to smash quickly. Know the mall layout — use the minimap to locate targets fast. Avoid shooting civilians — that’ll just add more stars. Use the stairs/escalators to move fast between floors. Afterward, use a Pay 'n' Spray or Police Bribe to clear your wanted level. 🔫 Gameplay Features Introduced: First “intimidation/extortion” mission Opens up the concept of owning and profiting from businesses Begins the empire phase of the game — Tommy goes full mob boss 🗣️ Notable Quotes: Tommy (angry): “Protection?
