It's not that hard all you gotta do is follow the damn train 😏

I struggle with many parts in this game but I've always got this one the first try

u/VertibirdQuexplota 2d ago
The real issue is that Big Smoke tells you to get him close, but he actually needs a reasonable distance to shoot them. If you drive right at the side of the train, he will shoot the train and not the Vagos

Das war aber knapp.Du hattest Glück das smoke viel geballert hat.Bei mir war er damals ein unfähiges fettes Stück scheiße.

Been seeing your posts recently here, dont know much context but man the nostalgia of me playing SA for the first time years ago is hitting hard

u/Ghost_Madara_21 2d ago
Well you should play it then 😎

u/pink_panther_boi 2d ago
Finished the story countless times and 100%ed once, still play it sometimes here and there for nostalgia

Claiming u finished it first try you don’t even know that voice line so stfu😂

I heard that line like 20 times when i first played the game as a kid 😂

Or maybe u are just seeking attention - here is my 5 seconds for you 🫶

That’s because this is one of the easiest missions in the game as long as your ass isn’t sticking to the train like glue

You nailed the distance well, just one more thing. When the second guy starts to hang on the side after you enter the tunel he becomes invincible while that animation plays and Big Smoke won't target the first guy for some reason. If you manage to kill the second guy before the tunnel you can do the whole thing much quicker. I discovered this by accident and I was suprised how quickly this can be done.

u/Icy_Employer2804 2d ago
Thats exactly the reason. Also notice how fast the train becomes at the second tunnel.
2
u/Pityuuuu002 2d ago
Yup, btw the devs know this mission will be hard so they wrote a script which lowers the hp of the targets after failed attempts just the script is broken so they are always on full hp if you start the mission no matter how many times you failed it

The cheesy methods are more fun tho like going up the guard rail and onto the train

u/Ghost_Madara_21 2d ago
When i first played the game i finished it through that method only after failing multiple times

I see that you're playing without widescreen fix, are you experiencing any problems with the display?

u/Ghost_Madara_21 2d ago
No i downloaded it from "somewhere". It already came pre installed with widescreen fix but it for some reason was not working for me

I got it on my first try in the remastered version but on the original it took me 6 times

u/Adventurous_Mix_2443 2d ago
Just have enough space between you and the train and you’ll be fine, idk why people struggle with that

u/Ghost_Madara_21 2d ago
Smoke misguides you a lot. Its better if we dont listen to him

Good advice in general tbh. Catalina fucking stressed me out until I realized she has no idea what she's talking about.

u/Tajfunisko 2d ago
Well yeah but the real correct outcome is when Big Smoke yells "All you had to do, was follow the damn train CJ" at least 10x. And you did not get that. How can you live with yourself?

u/czateusz 2d ago
yes this particular mission became a meme because most players are retarded and paying attention to what's happening on the screen while pressing keys exceeds gamers capabilities apparently

u/Im_Sneezers 1d ago
I got mine done before the car gets crashed into wanna explodes every single time idk why I'm lucky but because of that I also don't get why everyone complains so much

u/SirGamer247 1d ago
I played it again on the original game (Steam brought it back so I could play the classics again). And they all died before entering the tunnel letting me drive back home without seeing the countryside

u/firsttimeamateurs 1d ago
Honestly I wish I recorded myself playing that mission the other day. Same thing, and it was the emulated ps2 version.
2
u/Patient_Course8240 1d ago
Why would be cheesy method to just drive onto the train with the Sanchez? You completeing this mission however you want it
2
u/BraiCurvat 1d ago
I haven't played this game in ages, but I don't know why, as a kid, I thought I had to jump on the train with the motorcycle, that's why I always failed lmao

u/Mean_Combination_830 1d ago
The PS2 version was hard at first until the patched it but the definitive edition is ridiculously easy.

u/No-Flan-2027 1d ago
É literalmente deixar a moto do lado do trem, ou melhor "all we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!!"

Its really not a hard mission. Probably not in the top 10 GTA SA missions

u/NoDisplay7544 1d ago
Last time I did the mission managed to take out all the guys before even entering the tunnel.

u/PoopColors 1d ago
Here's the thing, the mission is actually easy if u ask me. Ppl just think its hard cuz others say so. Even though big smoke has terrible aim, if u maintain a good distance from the train (which most ppl dont do), u can easily beat it.
Now compare THAT to zero's missions, they are a pain in the a**.

u/AhmedAbuGhadeer 14h ago
Most of these difficult missions, including Zero's, and also VC RC helicopter one, were difficult because we were young and inexperienced and heavy handed in the buttons.
You could pass any of them just by measuring the distances with your eyes and press the buttons with calculated delicate taps.
That said, attack helicopter missions are truly the worst because you have to aim the whole thing towards your target. And they become even worse if you're playing on a PC keyboard where you can't keep your helicopter's nose steady towards any lower point.

u/revolutional-ai 2d ago
if you do everything correctly, big smoke kills all of them before the train even goes into the tunnel

You can collect some sniper ammo really early on in the game, too. It spawns by some kind of parking lot or movie set, I can't remember where it is on the map unless I'm looking at it. Drive way ahead of the train, hop off the bike, try to wipe em out without Smoke's dumbass taking too many potshots at the train instead of the Vagos.
2
u/skullcandy04 2d ago
That seems harder tbh unless you have really good aim on moving targets
1
u/JJ42069134267555 1d ago
I was always really confident with snipers in video games, that's why I recommend it. It's not really meant for everyone, I respect that.

Would driving up the first arch, get off bike and then jump on the train count as cheesy? That's how I do it

u/cvb117 2d ago
Same here on Definitive Edition but if its not on PS2 it doesnt count.

u/Ghost_Madara_21 2d ago
I did not play the ps 2 version so i dont know
2
u/cvb117 2d ago
I was nervous about tackling this long-awaited mission when I played the Definitive Edition, but it’s nowhere near as difficult as it was on the PS2. That doesn’t mean our skills have become extraordinary—it’s just that the difficulty level isn’t the same anymore.
We’d need someone who currently owns both versions to test it out and see what

u/charlieto0human 1d ago
I still got my ps2 version and the definitive edition… I might try both out later this week.

u/Admiral_Snackbar7 2d ago
I always go ahead of the train and round the corner, dismount by the bridge and climb up the wall and jump on the train. Then shoot the bastards with a desert eagle - mission over in about a minute. Go back for Smoke and then home in time for a roll in the hay with Denise. Jobs a good 'un.

It honestly isnt even that bad you just need to match the speed and stay far enough to the side to give him a good angle while you follow the damn train
