5 notoriously difficult missions that are easier than GTA fans give credit

Some of the more difficult missions in the GTA series are actually much easier if approached from a different angle.

Summary Five missions from the GTA series whose difficulty is often overrated by the fanbase 5) The Driver (GTA Vice City) 4) Keep your friends close... (GTA Vice City) 3) Wrong side of the tracks (GTA San Andreas) 2 ) Did someone say yoga? (GTA 5) 1) Learning to fly (GTA San Andreas)

Everyone perceives the difficulty of a mission differently. However, players can complete many of the most difficult missions in the GTA series with an easier method. In this scenario, these missions are not as challenging as they seem at first glance.



Alternatively, some missions are not objectively difficult. They involve a different style of play that some GTA fans might not like. These are the types of missions that some players easily complete, while others complain about how difficult it is.

5) The driver (GTA Vice City)

The Driver is one of the most difficult missions in GTA Vice City. Trying to race normally is unfair, as Tommy is in a much inferior vehicle compared to the one Hilary is driving. However, players should not play fair if they want to succeed easily.

There are two easy ways to consolidate the mission. First, park a fast vehicle (or use a PCJ parked nearby). The player does not need to race in the standard vehicle.


Alternatively, perform a pit trick on the first turn of the race. This will give the player enough time to finish it without much worry.


4) Keep your friends close... (GTA Vice City)

GTA Vice City's final mission has some genuine difficulties, but it's by no means the hardest mission in the game. The problem with some players is that they focus too much on Forelli's henchmen and vault defense. This mission is much easier if they just focus on the two main objectives.

The player needs to climb the stairs to kill Lance Vance (although stealing a car from outside and running him over will also work). They just need to kill Sonny and they can ignore all the other NPCs there.

It's a climactic battle, but some players overcomplicate what they need to do to complete it.

3) Wrong side of the tracks (GTA San Andreas)

It makes sense why so many fans find this mission difficult, but it's still a lot easier than you might think.

“All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!”

The line above is practically synonymous with the mission itself, and is a quote associated with failure.

However, the mission is significantly easier if the player does not rely on Big Smoke. Just get on the train (there are several jumps if the player is positioned well).

Ignore the message about Big Smoke being left behind and simply kill the Vagos on the train. It is much simpler than intended.


2) Did someone say yoga? (GTA 5)

This GTA 5 mission is essentially a minigame. Its difficulty largely stems from a different style of play that many players don't associate with the GTA series. In all honesty, it's one of the easiest missions in GTA 5. Its slower pace is pretty forgiving, and the non-Yoga-related parts of the mission are ridiculously easy.



While it's easy, the tedious structure of the mission can frustrate impatient players. Still, they can easily pass the quest by following the instructions patiently (and this will save them more time in the long run).

1) Learning to fly (GTA San Andreas)

The flying school often gets a bad rap in the GTA community. However, the “Learn to Fly” quest is much easier than some players might think. There are no penalties for failing a lesson, and most of them are easy to overcome.

It is primarily a matter of “practice makes perfect”. It looks different than most GTA San Andreas players are used to at this point, but it's not objectively difficult. Once a player passes, they will likely get it right the next time they do these lessons.
