Drive-By is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sean "Sweet" Johnson from his home in the Ganton district of Los Santos, San Andreas

Mission

Sweet, Big Smoke and Ryder have decided to perform some drive-bys on Ballas gang members and Carl decides to be their driver. The crew arrive by a number of spots where Ballas gang members usually hang around and perform a couple of drive-bys, killing every gang member attacking them. After finishing off every enemy gang member, they catch the police's attention and manage to lose it by driving to the Pay 'n' Spray in Idlewood. They drive back to Grove Street and decide to stay away from any heat for the rest of the day.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Get in the car
  • Drive your homies into Balla territory
  • Take out the first group of Ballas
  • Take out the second group of Ballas
  • Take out the third group of Ballas
  • Take out the fourth group of Ballas
  • Use the nearby pay 'n' spray to lose the cops
  • Take your homies back to the hood

Reward

The reward for completing this mission is $500 and increased respect. The missions Home Invasion and Sweet's Girl are unlocked as well. Ballas gang members become also increasingly violent against Carl Johnson and will attack him every time he's spotted driving past them.

Trivia

  • Although there is a police bribe on the path of the other side of the park under the bridge, it is pointless to get it before going to the Pay 'N' Spray because the wanted level goes down only for a moment before retaining a two-star wanted level once more.
