— Cesar Vialpando

Pier 69 is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson from Cesar Vialpando from a rooftop across from Pier 69 in Esplanade North, San Fierro, San Andreas.

Mission

After finding out of the next meet between Big Smoke's lieutenant Ryder and the Loco Syndicate through killing Jizzy B., Carl calls Cesar to inform him of this. After him and Cesar meet up on a rooftop across from Pier 69. When Carl gets there Cesar hands him a sniper rifle to gun down the San Fierro Rifa taking guard over the pier. Carl successfully does so before all the Triads are killed. T-Bone shows up a little while after, and so does Ryder. The last to show up is Toreno who arrives by helicopter. Instead of taking them down by surprise attack, everyone gets alerted as Toreno sees the bodies on the rooftops. The two then fight there way through the Pier until they confront T-Bone. The two gun him down, then Carl begins to chase after Ryder. Ryder attempts to escape by a boat, but Carl managers to kill him in a brief chase.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

• Go upstairs and meet Cesar
• Clear the roof so that the Triads can proceed

Deaths

• T-Bone Mendez - Killed by Carl and Cesar to disband the Loco Syndicate.
• Ryder - Killed by Carl for betraying the Grove Street Families and joining the Ballas.

Trivia

• Originally, it was going to be Ryder who gets killed on the pier, and T-Bone who swims to the boat. The game contains unused audio files that prove this.
• Whichever Submachine Gun you have will be the one Carl uses in the cutscene when he and Cesar gun down T-Bone.
• It is possible to kill Ryder with the Sniper Rifle or use a Rocket Launcher when takes the boat.
• The original name of the mission was Guns of Ryder.
• Ryder has a kamikazi type of AI. If you catch his boat on fire while he's riding it, instead of he getting out of it, he'll try to come towards you so both boats will be destroyed.
• If you already have an Sniper Rifle, Cesar gonna just give some Rifle ammo.

Glitches

• If you beach Ryder's boat, he will keep operating it in vain until you board it.
• If you blow up both boats, Ryder will swim to the small island nearby, land and stay idle. He will not react even if you beat him to death with melee weapons.
• Whereas Ryder knew how to swim when he swam to the boat, if you board Ryder's boat in transit, when he falls in the water, he'll drown.
• If your boat catches fire after blowing up Ryder's boat, you will still pass the mission, even if you die.
