I think a lot of people have noticed that there are shops in the game where there’s a vendor but you can’t buy anything. These shops will be used for a mission, which is to rob shops. In Vice City, there are 15 shops in total, some of which are indicated on the map (tool shop) and some of which are not.

• It’s relatively a challenging task because it’s quite complicated and the robbery doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to. All you have to do is go into one of these shops and point your gun at the shopkeeper. 4 things can happen:
• After 3 seconds, he puts $250 on the table and you can walk out without a round. This is not so good if you’re at the beginning since you can make more money from the heists, so you might as well stay there for now.
• Again, put $250 on the table and you’re $500 richer. At this point you get a star, which I don’t mind as you can escape easily.
• Again he puts +$250 on the table so you are now $750 richer. Now you’ve got 2 stars, which makes it a little harder.
• He puts down the final amount, which is also $250 and you can walk out of the deal with $1000 at Circulation Level 3.

These are the better cases. There’s also when you talk to the store, point the gun at him, and immediately sound the alarm money is nowhere but, 2 star BOLO’s are there. If you rob all 15 stores well and smartly, you get $15,000 at best, which is pretty good to start with. At worst, you only get $3750. That’s still a nice amount but it’s better to go for the $15,000 at the beginning. Please note that you can only rob a store once! Now let’s see those 15 shops described in detail:

1. Bunch Of Tools tool store, Washington beach

This shop is the easiest to find because you have to drive this way many times and the map shows it. For those who don’t know, it’s at the end of the bridge when you cross the east bridge at Starfish Island. If you’ve robbed the store, there will be a vehicle parked out there that’s always there, and you can use it to get there.

2. Vice Point, jewelry store

There was a mission back in the early days where a chick came out of the store and you had to kill her to make it look like an accident. Now you have to go to that jewelry store. It’s a bit of a difficult location but, for those who have Vice Point or the mission, it should be an easy task. Nearby is a Pay ‘n’ Spray where you can paint your vehicle quickly.

3. Vice Point, pharmacy

There is a nice paved sidewalk on this street where the store is located so I don’t think it will be hard to find. There’s a house near it that you just have to head north from and there it is. In the street next to the banana shaped building.

4 Vice Point, grocery store

Located next to the pharmacy on the east street. The store is painted orange and there are stairs leading up to the store. This is the street from which the north bridge leaves towards the film studio.

5. North Point Mall, jewelry store

This store is in the mall. The mall is easy to find but the store is more difficult. The store is in the north east wing. It may be easier in that you had to do a mission here when you had to break the glass.

6. North Point Mall, record store

The record store is upstairs in the middle of the east wing. It is written in big pink letters. It is also surrounded by a lot of glass.

7. North Point Mall, tool shop

This shop is also marked on the map. It is located right next to the gun shop. It is located on the northeast side.

8. North Point Mall, clothing store

This is also on the ground floor. It is on the south side of the mall. The store has a sign that says “Gash”. Lots of glass surrounds the ground floor and upstairs. You can also approach it from upstairs as the store has a staircase. Also, there is even a dress shop, which if you take it over, the cops are not circling.

Downtown 9, pharmacy

There are several shops in this area. This one is just around the bend from the pizzeria. The store also has a life and toy dispenser.

10. Downtown, jewellery shop

Exit the pharmacy and head north, almost opposite the pizzeria, this store is on the right. Rob both stores, then hop on a vehicle and drive north towards the property you bought where you can save, change clothes, and there are some weapons and a helicopter to take to the next store.

11. Little Havana, 24/7

The building across from the police station, which is around the corner. There’s also a hidden package here.

12. Little Havana, tool shop

Coming out of the previous shop, head west towards the car salon and then you will find it almost opposite an intersection. If you can’t get here, look at the map as it is marked there.

13. Little Havana, Cafe Robina

I don’t think I need to introduce you to this one. This shop is located on a corner. North of the car salon. Many missions started here. Once you’ve robbed it, head one north because there’s a small passageway and then in the passageway, you’ll find a star that you’re advised to pick up.

14. Little Havana, Laundry

From Robina’s cafe, go through the passage and then at the end of the street, on the corner, there is a clothes. There you will find the laundry. Once you’ve robbed it, pick up the clothes and come to the last shop.

15. Little Haiti, pharmacy

This one is going to be a bit more difficult fun, as if you don’t get on good terms with the Haitian gang, they will shoot at you in a hodgepodge so it will be quite a challenge. Quickly rob the shop, pick up the life and slow down (recommended) then quickly go to the car painter and you’re done with 15 shop robberies.

4) V – rock

Trochu tvrdší hudba, prostě rock a hard rock, nic víc. Dj je Lazlow

Much like the real NYC, the sale and ownership of firearms in Liberty City is pretty much illegal. But just as it is with real life gangsters and such, Niko and friends don’t seem to mind breaking the law in order to arm themselves. Keeping in line with the political reality satirized by the game, the Ammu-Nation shops found in previous GTAs have been closed down. Taking their place, however, are a number of underground gun shops located in basements and alleys around the city. Better yet, if you gain enough respect from Little Jacob, you can call him up and he’ll meet you nearby with a trunk full of weapons at a reduced price.

Pistol

Basis:	Glock 17
Range:	50	Accuracy:	decent
Capacity:	17	Reload:	2 sec
Damage:	25	Rate:	200 rpm

Developed in the ’80s by Austrian engineer, Gaston Glock, the eponymous pistol went on to become the world’s most popular civilian and law enforcement sidearm. Thanks to its polymer frame and simple, internal striker-fired mechanism, the Glock is both lightweight and extremely durable.

Combat Pistol

Basis:	Desert Eagle
Range:	50	Accuracy:	decent
Capacity:	9	Reload:	2 sec
Damage:	40	Rate:	200 rpm

In 1979, Magnum Research Inc. set out to create the first gas-operated, magnum-caliber pistol. While the end product is generally considered too heavy and expensive to serve as a practical combat pistol, it hasn’t stopped the Desert Eagle from becoming the weapon of choice for Hollywood (and video game) bad guys.

Micro-SMG

Basis:	Micro Uzi
Range:	50	Accuracy:	decent
Capacity:	50	Reload:	2.2 sec
Damage:	20	Rate:	650 rpm

The smallest member of the Uzi family was introduced by Israel Military Industries in 1986 as a security weapon to fill the gap between pistols and fill-size submachine guns. It lacks a bit in the accuracy department due to its short barrel, but the extreme rate of fire and capacity make up the difference.

SMG

Basis:	SW MP-10
Range:	60	Accuracy:	good
Capacity:	30	Reload:	1.7 sec
Damage:	20	Rate:	650 rpm

The Special Weapons MP-10 (also known as the PXP-10) is essentially an MP5 clone with a custom polymer upper. Not much is really known about it, as it’s apparently made in very small numbers by an equally small and mysterious company.

Pump Shotgun

Basis:	Winchester 1300
Range:	35	Accuracy:	poor
Capacity:	8	Reload:	2.9 sec
Damage:	20*	Rate:	50 rpm

Based roughly on the classic Remington model 870, the Winchester 1300 line is also known as the “Speed Pump” series thanks to the short, fast cycling of the action. This feature has made the shotgun popular for both sporting and security purposes.

Combat Shotgun

Basis:	Beretta 1201 (?)
Range:	40	Accuracy:	poor
Capacity:	10	Reload:	2.9 sec
Damage:	10*	Rate:	150 rpm

This seems to be based on the Baretta 1201 FP, but with the barrel of a military Remington 870..

Assault Rifle

Basis:	AK-47
Range:	65	Accuracy:	decent
Capacity:	30	Reload:	2.1 sec
Damage:	30	Rate:	450 rpm

Even after sixty years, Mikhail Kalashnikov’s legendary AK-47 rifle is still a hard act to follow; both in reliability and popularity. Created with mass production in mind, the simple design and loose clearances resulted in a rifle that’s practically indestructible, and that will remain functional with little maintenance or cleaning.

Carbine Rifle

Basis:	M4 Carbine
Range:	70	Accuracy:	good
Capacity:	30	Reload:	2.1 sec
Damage:	30	Rate:	450 rpm

Despite some teething problems with the earlier M16 variant during the Vietnam War, Eugene Stoner’s 1958 AR-15 design went on to become one of the most popular and versatile rifles in the world. Given its light weight and compact size, the M4 carbine comes in handy for urban combat and police work.

Sniper Rifle

Basis:	M40A1
Range:	1.5K	Accuracy:	great
Capacity:	5	Reload:	1.3 sec
Damage:	75	Rate:	55 rpm

The M40A1 started its life as a Remington 700, and was then customized by the US Marine Corps to fit their sniping needs. Strangely enough, the one in the game appears to have been further customized to use an external 10 round magazine, yet it only holds 5.

Combat Sniper

Basis:	PSG-1
Range:	1.5K	Accuracy:	great
Capacity:	10	Reload:	2.1 sec
Damage:	75	Rate:	170 rpm

The PSG-1 is one of the most accurate, yet heaviest and most expensive semi-automatic sniper rifles created. An overpriced piece of stamped steel German engineering; it does the job. You’ll have too much money to ever spend by the end of the game anyway.

RPG

Basis:	RPG-7
Range:	100	Accuracy:	decent
Capacity:	1	Reload:	2.1 sec
Damage:	explosive	Rate:	NA

This classic anti-tank, rocket propelled grenade launcher was first used by the Soviets back in 1961. It’s remained popular ever since because of its durability and low cost.

Molotov

Basis:	NA
Range:	35	Accuracy:	NA
Capacity:	NA	Reload:	NA
Damage:	fire	Rate:	NA

Grenade

Basis:	Mk2 grenade
Range:	35	Accuracy:	NA
Capacity:	NA	Reload:	NA
Damage:	explosive	Rate:	NA

Bat

Basis:	NA
Range:	1.6	Accuracy:	NA
Capacity:	NA	Reload:	NA
Damage:	1	Rate:	NA

Knife

Combat Shotgun

Range:	40	Accuracy:	poor

This seems to be based on the Baretta 1201 FP, but with the barrel of a military Remington 870..

Assault Rifle

21 years is a long time in gaming, as this video comparing GTA 6 and Vice City proves.

While we’ve been back to Liberty City several times, the last time we visited Vice City, which was modelled on Miami, was in 2006 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It was a logical move by Rockstar Games to make it the central setting for Grand Theft Auto VI, both to caress the souls of long-time fans and to set the action in a state where something happens every day that wouldn’t be out of place in a GTA.

We wish it weren’t, but the woman twerking on the roof of the car, the alligator crawling around the shop and being fished out of the pool, the man naked in his garden, the nice lady attacking with hammers, the mud bathing and the ‘Florida Joker’ are all real, as GameSpot’s video shows.

Nearly 100 million people have already seen the most anticipated trailer of the last 10 years, and of course some of them are creating it, such as the FGS channel, which has made a comparison, “recreating” some elements of the GTA 6 trailer in the original Vice City, beyond a point of being quite free.

It’s a good indication of how much time has passed since Vice City was released. Will we find references to Tommy Vercetti and his friends?
