Grand Theft Auto IV: Most Wanted Missions
Most Wanted missions are very similar to (and can be seen as an extension of) those of Vigilante missions, however they are static; once completed, you cannot play them again (on that save file, of course).
There are 30 “Most Wanted” criminals you must eliminate, spread evenly over the three “islands”, effectively they are the Top 10 Most Wanted of each island.
Like Vigilante Missions, you must first get hold of a law enforcement vehicle. If there are none nearby, either head to a Police station, or call “911″ on your phone and select “Police”, a Police Cruiser will be dispatched and arrive shortly. Our suggestion is to take out your local 10, then move on to the next island.
When your vehicle is at a stop, access the Police Computer, then access the Most Wanted database, and choose a criminal to pursue. Try and pick one with a location nearby for efficiency.
Once you have wiped out all listed criminals and their associates, you will receive 2.5% game completion, and 
Most Wanted ( 
).
Algonquin
| Shon Kikuchi | - | Hangs out in North Holland, Algonquin. He is in a moving sportscar, and will flee to the south when you approach. |
| Jimmy Kand | - | Hangs out in Northwood Algonquin on the second floor of a project building. He’s passed out when you find him, so you can just walk up to him and knife him. |
| Simon Nashly | - | Hangs out in the Fishmarket in Algonquin. There are six men to take out. They are spread out, and none of them attempt to flee. Stairs to the third level are located at the front and rear of the building. |
| Tommy Francovic | - | Located in Castle Garden City. When you approach he’ll flee on a motorcycle. He will circle the block at least once. Shoot him to get him off his bike, then he’ll shoot at you with a Micro SMG. Shoot him and pick up the money he drops. |
| Barry Lamora | - | Hangs out at the Colony Island Apartments. There are three of them, one is armed with a shotgun, another with a Russian assault rifle. These two will fight, the other will run. |

| Juan Haimo | - | In star junciton, Algonquin. There are three targets on motorcycles. They’ll flee as soon as you approach, so either ram them when you arrive, or hit them from a distance with your RPG or sniper rifle. |
| Darren Covey | - | Purgatory, Algonquin. The suspects are in a large parking structure. They won’t try to flee, so you have a lot of freedom in deciding how to take them out. Long distance sniping, frontal assault with an assault rifle, or running them down with a car are all good options. |
| Lea Brodell | - | East Holland. You can enter the suspects’ building through a door on the north side. |
| Christov Mahonvic | - | Located in the garage at fishmarket south. Use the back door in the northwest side of the building for a superior tactical entry. |
Broker/Dukes/Bohan
| Maxwell Caughlin | - | These guys are located in a compound. One of them has an RPG, so if you choose to attack with a car keep moving. |
| Scott Guzowski | - | He and his three friends are in a park in northwest Dukes. The road to the west is a good shooting location. They are on foot and will not try to escape. |
| Antonio Rivette | - | Located in South Slopes, on the train platform. Take out all five of them. |
| Rodrigo Stavenes | - | Located in Steinway. He and his gang are in a building and there are two exits. They’ll try to run out the opposite door you enter, so you may want to park your car on one side and go in the other. |
| Fernando Tisdel | - | Fernando will try to escape in his car as soon as you get near. Arrive from the east, because he’ll flee to the west. He’ll shoot at you, so shoot back and chase him down. |
| Tyler Pickrel | - | Located at the Monoglobe in Meadows Park. He’s on foot, and will try to run away when you attack him. Use your car to chase him down. |
| Preston Pecinovsky | - | In Northern Gardens. There is only one way in or out of their area, so get out of your car and start shooting. One may try to make a break for it in one of the cars, so shoot him before he can get in (or shoot through the windsheild). |
| Alonso Goralski | - | He’s at the airport, standing next to his car with a friend. If you can’t get him a few seconds after you pull up, he’ll get in his car and drive away. Chase him and shoot up his car. |
| Bert Reker | - | Bert hangs out in the BOABO area of Broker. He and his gang are in a junkyard. The building to the across the street to the southwest is a perfect spot for sniping. There is a staircase in the back you can use to get to the top. There is also some body armor up there. |
| Freddy Paparo | - | Freddy is in a parking lot in his car. As soon as you arrive he’ll drive away. Chase after him and shoot up his car to get it to stop. Then take out him and his friends. |

| Danny Hatmaker | - | Danny and his crew are at the docks. The expressway to the west is a great sniper position. If you’re going to take them out up close, know that you’ll come under fire as soon as you enter the gate. |
| Mervin Eskuchen | - | When you pull up to the location, the gang will try to flee to the north. in two large SUVs. You can ram the two vehicles then shoot them with an RPG. Or you can chase them. You can also try to block the road. |

Grand Theft Auto IV: Vigilante Missions
Grand Theft Auto IV saw a change to the Vigilante system of previous titles. There are no tanks in IV (with the exception of The Ballad of Gay Tony, of course) so you won’t simply be driving around with every vehicle that touches you exploding instantly. The Most Wanted side missions can also be seen as an extension to this new system.
However, these new Vigilante Missions are much easier than the previous system.
They become available after “Crime and Punishment” in Faustin’s mission line, simply get hold of a Police vehicle, once inside access the Police computer and select “View Current Crimes”. If there are no Police vehicles at your location, either head to a Police station or simply dial “911″ on your phone (the emergency number for the United States, like “999″ for the United Kingdom or “000″ for Australia) and select Police, a Police Cruiser will turn up soon after.
There are three types of crimes you can pursue:
- Criminal on foot
- Stolen vehicle
- Gang activity
Criminal on foot is the easiest and quickest, mostly all you’re going to have to do is simply run over them, if you miss for whatever reason, pump a few rounds into them and off you go to the next guy. If you are looking to hit these as quickly as possible you should choose this option. If the option isn’t available, simply back-out and access “View Current Crimes” again, this will refresh the list of available crimes.
Stolen vehicle will pit you up against a car full of dudes that will shoot at you, not too difficult but the chase may drag out a bit, it’s entirely possible your vehicle will suffer too much damage before you’re able to take them all out.
Gang activity will lead you to a group of “gangsters”, again it isn’t that difficult however they can take you down pretty quickly if you just run in there guns blazing (unless you get lucky).
Once you have selected a crime, your GPS will update to a location nearby and a timer will appear at the top-right corner indicating how long you have left to get to the scene of the crime before the criminal escapes. Once there, it will disappear.
Upon completion of a Vigilante Mission, you will be free to pursue whatever activity you wish, if your car is damaged and you want to continue, it is advisable to locate another Police vehicle before continuing, otherwise you may find youself with a car on fire, an empty road and so no way to get to your target but attempting to run there.
Once you have completed 20 Vigilante Missions you will receive 2.5% towards your game completion, and Clean The Mean Streets ( ).
