'''Cannon Fodder''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] given to [[Protagonist|protagonist]] [[Tommy Vercetti]] by [[Cubans]] leader [[Umberto Robina]] from his [[Alberto Robina|fathers]] [[Café Robina|café]] in [[Little Havana]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]].

===Brief===
+
==Mission==
  +
Tommy Vercetti goes to [[Café Robina]] and meets Umberto Robina, who has started an open gang war with the [[Haitians]], sending his men to attack their [[Haitian Drugs Factory|drug factory]] in [[Little Haiti]]. The factory, however, is proving impregnable and so Umberto sends Vercetti to drive some new Cuban gangsters to the scene and help the steal the Haitian's [[Pony|van]] loaded with a [[Cocaine|drugs]] shipment. Vercetti leaves the café and finds a four-door vehicle and returns to collect three Cubans before driving to [[The Well Stacked Pizza Co.]] store opposite an alleyway leading to the factory, dropping off the Cubans and meeting [[Rico]]. Vercetti kills a number of Haitians guarding the entrance and, after they are dead, some Cubans run down the alleyway and into the factory walls, but are killed by a [[Sniper Rifle|sniper]]. Vercetti, now joined by three more Cubans, kills the sniper and enters the factory walls, killing all the Haitians he meets. Vercetti and Rico then get into the Haitian van and drive it back to the café.
Umberto has gone out in a battle with the [[Haitians]], however, his assault on their drug plant didn't go so well, so he and his men were severely injured. Now Umberto wants you to drive some new soldiers to the battle zone in [[Little Haiti]] and help them steal the Haitians' van loaded with a shipment of drugs.
 
   
===The Mission===
+
==Deaths==
  +
*[[Rico]] (optional) Can be killed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], After he gets in the vehicle. Although it does not effect the storyline.
Get a car which can hold four people, any car, it can be a crummy one since you won't use it again in this mission. When you have the car, drive back to the Café and some [[Cubans]] will get in, now drive them to the war zone across the Little Haiti central of [[Well Stacked Pizza]] and drop them off.
 
  +
*Unnamed Cuban Members - All killed by the Haitian sniper.
  +
*Haitian sniper - Killed by [[Tommy Vercetti]].
  +
*Cuban reinforcements (optional) - All can be killed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], Although it does not effect the storyline.
   
  +
==Mission objectives==
Now the war begins. You will be in an alley way, at the opposite end of the alley is a group of Haitian soldiers. Get a gun and start killing them off, some more soldiers will show up, so kill them too, when they're all dead you will move alng the alley and a sniper will shoot three Cubans dead. Three more men will arrive in a cab and will start moving forward, so you wil have to kill the sniper before he kills the Cubans. Once the sniper is dead, start shooting at the Haitians that will start moving in, when they're all dead, you will move down an alleyway.
 
  +
In order to complete the mission the player must:
  +
*Get a car and pick up the Cubans from outside Robina's Café
  +
*Go and drop the Cubans off at the fight
  +
*Kill '''ALL''' of the Haitians
  +
*Take out the sniper
  +
*Finish off the rest of the Hatians so the Cubans can move forward
  +
*Return to Robina's Café with the van and park it round the back
   
  +
==Trivia==
Now you're in a huge open space with at least ten Haitians there, shoot them all dead and get into the drug van with [[Rico]]. Now start driving, get out through the way you came in and run over the three Haitian guards waiting at the exit, then drive out into the street. Thanks to all the shooting you did, you will now have a two star wanted level and cops will be after you. Avoid them as fast as you can and drive the van to the Café. Mission accomplished.

*The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Maracaibo Oriental" by Benny Moré. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station [[Radio Espantoso]].
  +
*In the iOS version, all dialogue referring to the Haitians in the cutscene is censored.
  +
*If cheat devices are used to make Tommy invincible and not lose health, he would still die from the sniper fire.
  +
*The name of this mission obviously refers to the Cubans gun down by the sniper on the roof (or Tommy if he gets too close), becoming literally, a bunch of "Cannon Fodder".
  +
*If you try to get into the [[Stinger]] which is used as a barricade, it will explode instantly.

Vercetti kills a number of Haitians guarding the entrance and, after they are dead, some Cubans run down the alleyway and into the factory walls, but are killed by a sniper.
