Changes: Reuniting the Families

Revision as of 15:27, 27 February 2015

For the mission in Grand Theft Auto V, see Reuniting the Family

“

We're gonna unite The Families once more, because the Ballas have been pumpin' our guys full of base for too long while we argue among ourselves.

”

— Sweet Johnson

Reuniting the Families is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by brother and Grove Street Families leader Sweet from his home at the Ganton district of Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission

Carl goes to Sweet's house and finds him along with close friends Ryder and Big Smoke. Once he arrives, Sweet informs them about reuniting all the Grove Street sets once again because the Seville Boulevard and Temple Drive Families have split from the gang and the Ballas have been pushing drugs for too long. All the sets are supposed to meet at the Jefferson Motel.

The four get into Sweet's Greenwood outside and make their way to the motel. Upon arriving, Sweet goes inside the motel and after a while a LSPD Police Maverick, Buzzard 1 appears. They break up the meeting and a shoot-out begins. Big Smoke and Ryder escape but Carl enters the motel to rescue Sweet. He makes his way through the hotel and eventually finds Sweet. When they arrive on the roof, Buzzard 1 reappears; Carl shoots down the helicopter, and follows Sweet. Just as they reach the street, Big Smoke and Ryder come to pick them up. Ryder hands Carl an AK-47 as many police cars and bikes pursue them. Smoke drives around to escape, while Carl holds off the police, but the AK-47 eventually gets jammed and the car, after narrowly escaping a low-flying helicopter, crashes through a billboard advertising Sprunk. The four bail out of the car as it plunges onto the freeway into a Xoomer fuel tanker truck, causing a massive explosion. Believing the quartet have been killed in the explosion, the police call off the search and the mission is completed.

Tips

If Carl is low on health, the player can replenish their health by using the Vending Machines at the entrance of the hotel. The player can also be kissed by a Prostitute to replenish their health. However, kissing the prostitute with full health will deplete Carl's health instead.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

Get in the car and drive the crew to the meet at the motel
Drive the crew to the meet at the motel
Go inside the motel and get Sweet out of there safely
Protect Sweet and destroy the SWAT helicopter
Follow Sweet
Protect the car from the police

Reward

The reward for completing this mission is an increase in respect. The next mission, The Green Sabre, is also unlocked.

Trivia

In this mission, the SWAT officers use SMGs instead of Micro Uzis.
In this mission, the Police Maverick uses a scripted spotlight instead of the usual one. It is located in the middle instead of the front and narrower.
If the player shoots down the helicopter while the SWAT are descending, the officers will be swung about and disappear when the helicopter crashes.
The helicopter pilot says "Los Angeles Police Department" rather than "Los Santos Police Department" during the storm in. This can be heard twice, the first when the helicopter flies in and the second when CJ and Sweet were on the roof of the hotel.
When Carl enters the motel, a GSF member standing on the balcony above will be shot in the head and fall from the balcony.
When Carl and Sweet get in the Greenwood to escape, the the radio will be tuned into Radio Los Santos and "How I Could Just Kill A Man" by Cypress Hill will always play.
The police helicopter can easily be shot down before entering the hotel, although it will reappear later in the mission with the same designation: Buzzard 1.
This is an easy point in the game for the player to master the AK-47 to Hitman Level. Since it has infinite ammunition, the player can shoot every cop chasing on the way until the AK reaches its maximum capabilities.
The police officers who jump onto and hang from the back of the car may be a reference to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, in which a T-1000 disguised as a police officer jumps and hangs from the back of a car during a chase scene.
In the motel, there will be a SWAT officer hanging from a vent and firing at Carl. If the player crouches and stays still, the officer will not be able to hit Carl (and even if he does, his shots do little damage, as he mostly fires above Carl's head). However, if Carl walks under him, he will die instantly.
- The SWAT officer in the vent has his MP5's muzzle flash taken from the Police Maverick, instead of its normal flash. Also, when fired, it makes the sound of the M4.
- If the "invincible health" cheat is activated, the shots fired by the SWAT officer in the vent will still damage Carl's health. The Motor Officer's fist attack also is unaffected by this cheat.
If the player does not follow Sweet after shooting down the police helicopter, the surrounding streets will be completely empty.
The time in this mission is predetermined. For example, if the player is picked up by Smoke and Ryder in the morning, the time will become night when Carl enters the car.
The music heard on the TV in the opening of the cutscene can also be heard in the Max Heat TV commercial in Max Payne 2.
If Carl aims a gun at the GSF members at the entrance to the motel, they will attack him.
Inside the motel, the bullets of the NPCs (SWAT Officers, Groves, and Sweet) do not damage each other, but can damage Carl.
It is interesting that the AK-47 jammed, since in real life the AK47 is less known for jamming than the more powerful in-game assault rifle, the M16.
If the player looks carefully, the motor officer has changed to beta model after killing by the Police Maverick.
If the player fails the mission during the part where they shoot the police during the chase, Carl will jump out of the Greenwood but the others will not.

 ==Tips==
-*If you're low on [[health]], there's a [[Sprunk]] [[Vending Machines|machine]] at the entrance of the hotel and there will be [[prostitutes]] that will run into hotel rooms as you move on to each hallway. Go into the rooms where the hookers are and they will kiss you to "thank" Carl and your health will be fully restored. However, do not visit the hooker if you have full health as that will remove your health instead.

 ==Trivia==
-*During the mission Ryder mentions that the chase shootout is like "World War VIII" (eight), which could be a reference to the scenic name of Ryder's voice actor, [[MC Eiht]].
-*Before Carl and the gang crash into the sign it says "A Taste Of Things To Come," a possible reference to how the next mission involves another ambush. Afterwards, it says "A Taste of Come", a crude reference to oral sex.

+*When Carl enters the motel, a GSF member standing on the balcony above will be shot in the head and fall from the balcony.
-*Although Sweet's [[Greenwood]] is destroyed in the explosion with the tanker, the car will still spawn outside Sweet's house (although while driving Sweet back to Ganton during the mission Riot, CJ will express disbelief in buying the same old bucket-ass car), but without the custom vanity plate. If you delete and start a new game, it will still not spawn with a custom plate. Confirmed on [[Xbox 360]] Marketplace download. It is suggested that cars owned by other characters are also programmed to spawn in their designated spawning points, even though they are scripted to be destroyed or possibly abandoned in a certain mission.
+*When Carl and Sweet get in the Greenwood to escape, the the radio will be tuned into [[Radio Los Santos]] and "How I Could Just Kill A Man" by Cypress Hill will always play.
-*When you enter the motel, you will see a GSF memeber get shot in the head after which his body falls off the balcony he was standing on..
+*The police helicopter can easily be shot down before entering the hotel, although it will reappear later in the mission with the same designation: [[Buzzard 1]].
-*When Carl and Sweet get in the Greenwood to escape, the song in the car is Cypress Hill - How I Could Just Kill A Man. This song can also be heard on [[Radio Los Santos]].
-*During the police chase, you will enter a cinematic cutscene of two police bikes. Both of them drop a half-eaten donut and give chase. This is similar to a scene from the movie [[wp:Con Air|Con-Air]].
-*You can "save" [[prostitutes]] in this mission. If a prostitute makes it through the gunfire to a hotel room that counts as a save. You can go back to the saved prostitutes and receive one kiss. If you have the unlimited health cheat on then your health will be lowered down to a certain level. It is always the same amount each time. Although it will not increase or boost the player's health, it will decrease the prostitute's health from green to orange.
