Hit the Pipe

Hit the Pipe is a mission in GTA IV DLC The Lost and Damned. It is given by Jim Fitzgerald to Johnny Klebitz.

Description
Arriving at Jim's location you'll be treated to a somewhat brief cutscene. Here, he'll introduce you to two members of the Uptown Riders, another motorcycle club who favor selling their club's merchandise and riding Japanese sports bikes as opposed to the choppers that The Lost Brotherhood and The Angels of Death use. One member is named Malc, who will give you some pipe bombs. Turns out three AOD vans are driving around Alderney at this very moment and you've been tasked with taking them down.

Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
 * Use the pipe bombs to blow up the Angels of Death vans

Walkthrough
Despite being given pipe bombs and being instructed to use them on the vans, this doesn't work all too well. Instead, getting into a large SUV like the Cavalcade and gunning the vans down with an Uzi or your Sawn-off Shotgun. Another cheap way to finish them all off is to hop into the back of a taxi, set a Waypoint on the map near one of the red dots, hurry the taxi up, once the cab ride has ended, hijack the same cab that took you there, chase the van and kill - repeat for the 2nd and 3rd targets. Last but not least, simple driving up to the van with your bike and shooting into the rear wheel well a couple of times with your trusty Sawn-off will set a van ablaze, letting you go take care of the next one. The individual AOD members aren't important, so don't worry about killing them - the vans are the priority. This mission also has no time limit and the vans won't simply escape your grasp as vehicles do in most other missions, so you can leisurely take down all three. Once that's done, so is the mission. Prepare to work with Malc in the future.
