Colonel Cortez: “Tommy, my friend, you are not in Liberty now. Here, we do things differently. I will continue with my enquiries, but in the meantime, I have a valuable deal to close.”
Tommy Vercetti: “A favor for a friend, Cortez?”
Colonel Cortez: “You're a good friend, Tommy. I knew you would not let me down. I need you to meet a courier who has obtained some valuable technology for me...”
Colonel Cortez hires Tommy Vercetti to collect some guidance chips from a courier.

Mall Shootout is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by retired army colonel Juan Cortez from his yacht docked in Ocean Bay Marina in Ocean Beach, Vice City.

Description[]

Cortez hires Tommy to meet a courier, Pierre La Ponce, in the Washington Mall and retrieve some guidance chips that La Ponce should be delivering. Upon getting briefed by Cortez, Tommy makes his way to the mall and meets La Ponce on the second floor of the mall. Unfortunately, the GIGN ambushes the deal before La Ponce can hand over the guidance chips to Tommy. As soon as the GIGN appears, La Ponce makes a dash to some PCJ 600s parked outside, gets on one of them and tries to escape the mall, forcing Tommy to chase him and kill him to retrieve Cortez's merchandise. Upon retrieving the guidance chips, Tommy returns to the Ocean Bay Marina and gives them to Cortez, ending the mission.

Trivia[]

  • The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Emotion 98.3, and played in the game's opening cutscenes.
  • The French GIGN officers use a unique model which is distinguishable from the regular SWAT models that are seen in wanted levels.
  • If Tommy attacks the contact before approaching him, he will attack Tommy with an Uz-I, but after approaching him the mission will carry on like normal.
