Autocide is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Mr. Black from a public payphone outside the Washington Mall in Washington Beach, Vice City.

Mission

Tommy Vercetti receives a phone call at a public payphone outside the Washington Mall and receives instructions from Mr. Black to kill members of a European gang, currently undercover in the city, before they rob a bank. Vercetti then locates and kills Mike Griffin, who is working as a builder on a billboard outside the Washington Mall. Vercetti then locates and kills Dick Tanner, who is working as a security guard for DBP Security. Vercetti then locates and kills Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, who are working as carpenters and are located in a Bobcat close to the Jewellery Store in Vice Point. Vercetti then locates and kills Nick Kong, who is posing as a tourist on a boat close to Avery Carrington's construction site. Vercetti then locates and kills the last of the gang, Charlie Dilson, who is riding his PCJ-600 around Ocean Drive.

Script

Mr. Black: A European Gang plans to hit the bank in Vice City. My employers would rather that didn't happen. Each member of the gang has a cover while they are in Vice City. Some have menial jobs, others are on vacation. Each target and their likely whereabouts are taped under the phone."

Trivia

  • The mission has a time limit of nine minutes, or nine in-game hours.
  • A unique silver PCJ-600 can be collected by the player after the mission starts, located next to a hedge on the way to Mike Griffin's location.
  • With the exception of Mike Griffin, all of the European gangsters in this mission have names referring to characters in rival sandbox games. Dick Tanner is a reference to Tanner from the Driver series, Marcus Hammond, Franco Carter and Charlie Dilson are references to Mark Hammond, Frank Carter and Charlie Jolson from The Getaway, and Nick Kong is a reference to Nicholas "Nick" Kang Williams from True Crime: Streets of LA.
  • Pedestrians with the same character models as Griffin, Tanner, Hammond, Carter, Kong and Dilson appear during free roam and throughout Vice City.
