Drive-By

Drive-by is the eighth mission in Los Santos. and the eightth mission overall.

Walkthrough
Carl will be driving the three others for some drive-by shooting. The player is instructed to enter the vehicle and drive it to Ballas territory. With some skill, the Greenwood should not take much damage and will live through the small arms gunfire from the Ballas, who doesn't seem to return a lot of fire.

A health bar of the Greenwood will appear for the duration of the drive-bys and disappears when the last group has been eliminated. At this point, the LSPD will be alerted and the player will receive a 2-star wanted level, before being prompted to drive to a marked Pay n' Spray. The police will use their patrol cars and do drive-bys on their HPV-1000 motorbikes, but the Greenwood should have enough health to survive some occasional battering.

After losing the heat entirely, CJ and the others return to Ganton unopposed.

Trivia

 * Ballas NPCs will attack the player on sight after this missions.
 * This is the only time where the first respray is free. Other times, while the Pay 'n Spray will cost 100$ on the first visit, subsequent visits in a short session will result in free resprays.
 * This is the only time where the player is wanted by the law for drive-bys committed by others.
 * Smoke is absent during the initial cut-scene.
 * The mission will not progress if Carl does not enter the Car in the beginning. It is impossible to attract a wanted level at this state, and Carl can do whatever he wants in San Andreas.
 * If Carl gets out of the car after entering and goes too far, the mission will fail.
 * A randomly colored Voodoo can be seen near some targeted Ballas members, even though they mainly use the Tahoma instead.


 * This is the first story mission where the player attracts police attention.
 * The wanted level gained during this mission cannot be lost without the Pay 'n Spray the game indicated. This is likely implemented to maintain the mission's purpose to introduce the player to the Wanted Level's mechanics.
