Waka-Gashira Wipeout! is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by media tycoon and businessman Donald Love from the Love Media building in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Note: This mission prevents the player from completing Kenji Kasen's missions, which means that the player should complete Kenji's missions before doing this mission if they want to achieve 100% completion.
Mission
Claude visits Donald Love who, already being involved with real estate in Liberty City, wants to develop more properties. He realizes the cheapest way to buy the land and develop is to start a gang war between the Yakuza and the Colombian Cartel, who are already enemies. Donald tells Claude to get a Cartel Cruiser and run over the co-leader of the Yakuza, Kenji Kasen, without leaving the vehicle. Claude drives to the car park in Newport, runs over Kenji, escapes Newport and leaves the vehicle.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Fort Staunton and steal a Columbian gangcar
- Now get to the multi-storey in Newport and whack Kenji
- Kenji is fender meat! Get out of Newport and dump the car
- Now dump the car
Tips
- There is a trick here that makes this mission easy. Before entering the top floor of the Newport Multistory Car Park. Get a Cartel Cruiser then stop at the floor below the top floor. Then get a Rocket Launcher and shoot it where Kenji is standing. After shooting Kenji, ride the Cartel Cruiser to the top, and then dump it.
- Using the rocket launcher once inside the car park will earn a one-star wanted level. Using it 2-3 times will raise it to three stars, but running Kenji over will result in a three-star wanted level anyway.
- You can also throw a Molotov directly beneath Kenji. You may burn yourself, but Kenji can easily die of it.
- Kenji's henchmen are not good shots and you can pretty much easily run Kenji over without risking the Cartel Cruiser blowing up on you.
Reward
The reward for completing the mission is $30,000. The mission A Drop in the Ocean is unlocked.
Trivia
- The first sentence Donald Love says originates from the his mentor, Avery Carrington, as referenced when he used it in a conversation with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City protagonist Tommy Vercetti.
- Waka-Gashira (若頭) is the second-in-command in yakuza hierarchy.
