Niko: "Everybody trying to take everybody down. That is the law of the jungle, no?"
Little Jacob: "That's the law of the concrete jungle, rasta. Liberty City! You hear me?"
―Second set of dialogue between Niko and Little Jacob when driving to Homebrew Cafe.

Concrete Jungle is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Jamaican gangster "Little" Jacob Hughes from his apartment in Schottler, Broker, Liberty City.

This mission introduces the player to the Cover System as well as the use of the Pump Shotgun.

Description[]

Little Jacob wants Niko's help on dealing with several rival gang members who are causing trouble for him and Real Badman.

Mission Objectives[]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Take Jacob to the apartment block in Willis.
  • Waste the drug dealers.
  • Go and pick up Jacob.
  • Take Jacob to the town house in Meadows Park.
  • Go with Jacob to the front door.
  • Follow Jacob into the house.
  • Take down all the drug dealers.
  • Take Jacob back to the Homebrew Cafe.

Walkthrough[]

Niko meets up with Little Jacob at Jacob's apartment. Jacob wants Niko to drive him to Saratoga Avenue in Willis for a drug deal. However, Jacob is uneasy about it because he is buying drugs from a new source. He wants Niko to cover him from the back, outside the apartment where the deal will take place- just in case the deal goes sour, as he covers the front of the apartment. The deal does indeed go sour, as the dealers don't even have the drugs and just want the money. Jacob calls Niko that they are trying to escape through the back. Niko kills the three dealers who are trying to escape. Niko picks up Jacob and he requests Niko drive to Savannah Avenue in Meadows Park to get revenge on the people who set the deal up. Niko and Jacob break into the apartment and kill all the inhabitants shooting at them. After that, Jacob wants Niko to drive him to his base of operations, the Homebrew Cafe.

Video Walkthrough[]

After the Mission[]

  • The reward for completing this mission is $200. The mission Shadow is unlocked, if Do You Have Protection? has also been completed.
  • Jacob's maroon and black Virgo is now available for the player to drive.
  • NIko can call Roman after the mission. The two will talk about Little Jacob.

Trivia[]

  • If the windows to the car the player is driving are open, smoke from Jacob's joint will be seen seeping out of them (this happens anytime Jacob is in a car with Niko and the windows are open). Despite this, Jacob will still say that he would rather Niko keep the windows closed so they can "hot-box," i.e. keep the smoke in the car. Jacob will say this even if Niko uses a motorcycle. This might be only in the PS3/360 version as in the PC version, he'll skip the hotbox talk and go straight to the business dialogue.
  • A concrete jungle is a term for a crime-ridden city. It is also the name of a 1973 song by Bob Marley and the Wailers, which plays on the in-game radio station Tuff Gong Radio.
  • Even if the player enters a vehicle other than Little Jacob's, the default radio station will still be Tuff Gong Radio.
  • The player cannot access the roof to the gang member's apartment in this mission, but he will be able to before and after this mission. There is also a Flying Rat on the roof of the building.    
  • It is presumed the beta name of this mission was Jacob's Ladder.
  • If Niko goes back to Jacob before killing the gangsters (after the phone call ends), he will not be seen anywhere and will only reappear after Niko kills the gangsters.
  • The dealers in the second apartment building will not spawn until Niko gets into cover and Jacob busts open the door.
