Running Dog

Running Dog is a mission in GTA San Andreas.

Walkthrough
While raw power is not a great necessity, it helps to bring some good weapons into the fight. If one wishes to take this from range, the M4 found in LSIA is a great weapon to use. Otherwise, most automatic weapons will suffice

It is also strongly recommended to complete the Burglary Side Mission for the Infinite Stamina perk.

For the first part, CJ must drive Smoke to Vagos Territory. However, the Gang Members insult him, which prompts him to kill one of them. He cannot catch up with the other, so CJ has to do the rest.

For the most part, the enemy will run and climb over fences and walls, and constantly sprint. CJ has to either gun him down from a distance, or spring close enough to get to him.

If he manages to enter a Sentinel controlled by another LSV member, CJ will have a limited amount of time to kill him, though there is no visible timer. If possible, the player should try to burst the Sentinel's tires, or even destroy it, so the enemy will only proceed on foot and will never be able to escape. It is also possible to destroy the Sentinel after he enters the vehicle, though that might be hard for CJ.

Regardless of approach, when the enemy dies, the mission is a success.

Trivia

 * Smoke has a Baseball bat when in the Glendale.
 * This is the only time a vehicle would contain a melee weapon.
 * It is unknown why he kept one in his car.


 * Even if CJ does not have a gun, he will still advice Smoke to gun them down, but Smoke will ignore this and use the bat instead.
 * The Sentinel is locked and has no special properties. However, it is not the usual gang vehicle of the Los Santos Vagos.
 * If the Vago member dies before he reaches the car, the other gangster will simply drive away.


 * While in development, the mission also requires CJ to return to Smoke and drive him back.
 * Since Smoke did not appear after the mission ends and was with his car when last seen, he presumably returned home on his own while off-screen.
