The mission ends in a failure if the player remains outside of a Law Enforcement vehicle for more than 60 seconds (30 seconds in VCS) in one go, dies or is arrested, time runs out, or in the case of GTA Vice City Stories, destroys their vehicle.

Identifying the target vehicle's likely route (only a practical option in some areas with few side roads) and setting up an ambush or roadblock ahead of it.Forcing the criminals' vehicle to enter water will lead to instantly killing them, since NPCs usually die instantly if they enter deep bodies of water.Performing the PIT maneuver to spin the vehicle out and then successfully blocking it will prompt the targets to abandon the vehicle.The soldiers at Fort Baxter Air Base tend to destroy criminal vehicles easily due to always spawning in groups and carrying the powerful M4s, meaning their bullets will almost always hit criminal vehicles regardless of their speed, although it is highly recommended to not provoke these soldiers as otherwise they can also destroy the player's vehicle.Īside from the obvious choices of drive-by shooting the target vehicle until it blows up or ramming it off the road, there are other options. In GTA Vice City, any nearby gang members will open fire at the criminals if they see them, but cannot kill them except if they destroy the vehicles that the criminals are in. The player has to be ready to flee as well, since some of the criminals are heavily armed, for example, Rugers and Shotguns that can, and will, kill the player and destroy their vehicle in seconds. In GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories criminals will have the ability to drive-by. As the player completes each level, the targets come armed with better weapons and, as of GTA Vice City, become more numerous until eventually, multiple vehicles appear with each new level. In GTA Vice City, a new car will spawn for the criminals to use if the player doesn't kill them fast. If the vehicle catches fire or is held in place for more than a couple of seconds, the occupant(s) will bail out and run or attempt to acquire new transport.
