Armored Car Clash!, also known as Armored Cars!, is a mission in Grand Theft Auto 2 given to protagonist Claude Speed by Trey Welsh, leader of The Zaibatsu Corporation in the Downtown District, in Omnitron, Downtown District, Anywhere City.
Mission
Trey Welsh informs Claude Speed that Doctor Cubana, a Latin biologist who works for The Zaibatsu Corporation, has been kidnapped by the Yakuza and is being tortured in a Yakuza Miara being driven around the Downtown District. Welsh tells Claude Speed of the two vehicles he needs destroyed, as he does not want Cubana to squeal. Claude Speed then locates the two Miaras and destroys them, killing Cubana.
Tips
Although Trey Welsh does not say anything about the target cars, they are armored (as the mission name implies), so they resist all types of weapon. They can be destroyed by blowing up another vehicle close to them. In addition, they are subject to collision damage, so it is also possible (but difficult and risky) to crash them by a heavy vehicle, e.g. Fire Truck.
Sometimes, the target Miaras can become stuck between a vehicle and a building. The player can then push the car against the obstacles until it explodes.
Another solution is to rig a car with a bomb, get close to a Miara while it is waiting at a red light, and detonate the bomb, the blast of which will destroy it.
Another way of destroying the armored cars is to take one of the two Kill Frenzy tanks, ignore the frenzy, and run over the vehicles to blow them up.
Reward
The reward for completing this mission is $60,000.
