	There are 24 members of Lost Brotherhood that can join Johnny's formation in Gang Wars, other than the usually present [[Jim Fitzgerald]], [[Clay Simons]], and [[Terry Thorpe]]. Each new member (up to three) rides on the backs of Jim, Clay, and Terry and aid the group in killing enemies. Each can be toughened up to increase their AI and upgrade their weapons, but each can also be killed in every gang warfare event. Once one dies, the next member takes his place. There appears to be no limit to how many Lost members can be killed (however, Jim, Clay and Terry can never be killed during gang war).

			* On rare occasions a gang war will fail ''before'' the Lost even arrive at the scene. This can happen if the AI on one of the Lost club members makes an error that results in the biker being injured or killed (perhaps by being hit by a vehicle or driving into the water) while en route. The player will see a message that one of his teammates has been injured, and the mission will fail. This appears to be random but might be avoided by Johnny not driving too erratically or too fast, and by sticking to regular roads (i.e. not driving overland).

Before triggering a mission, get off the bike and select the weapon you want to have equipped by default when you get off the bike again - this will save valuable seconds when the fighting starts.
			* The AI on your club allies can be stupid at times - be careful not to get pinned in amongst enemy because of your friends barreling into you. It's also easy to take damage from (or cause) friendly fire. Keep an eye on where your friends are.
	* Except for the escort missions, there is no time limit on completing a gang war. If Johnny's health, armor or ammo gets too low, leave the scene and head to a gun shop to stock up or to a food cart or fast-food place to replenish health. Note, however, that enemies might follow you.		* Except for the escort missions, there is no time limit on completing a gang war.

	* Enemy gang members have ''extremely'' high armor and/or health.

Gang War Variations

← Older revision		Revision as of 20:46, 4 January 2013
Line 23:		Line 23:
	*'''Hanging Out Wars''': This gang warfare style is when a gang is situated in one location of the map and there are approximately 20-30 enemies to gun down with the capability to call for reinforcements. This type of war is indicated by one of the Lost gang members making a statement about them "hanging out" somewhere. All targets must be eliminated, and that includes gang members who might run away (it's possible for them to get many blocks from the scene, though almost always they're on foot making them easy to track down later). Some of the gang members will be armed with molotov cocktails or grenades on higher levels.		*'''Hanging Out Wars''': This gang warfare style is when a gang is situated in one location of the map and there are approximately 20-30 enemies to gun down with the capability to call for reinforcements.

Some of the gang members will be armed with molotov cocktails or grenades on higher levels.
	*'''Cruising Wars''': This gang warfare style is when gang members are driving around the streets in automobiles, motorcycles or a combination of both, waiting for a provoked attack. The battle begins once Johnny or a Lost member opens fire on any vehicle (or discharges a weapon near them). Once this happens, most vehicles will converge, and more will arrive elsewhere. (Occasionally, a vehicle will drive away from the scene, and either circle back later or it needs to be pursued). This type of battle is indicated by one of the Lost members telling Johnny that the targets are "cruising around", though alternately they might just say "They're somewhere in xxxx."		*'''Cruising Wars''': This gang warfare style is when gang members are driving around the streets in automobiles, motorcycles or a combination of both, waiting for a provoked attack.

This type of battle is indicated by one of the Lost members telling Johnny that the targets are "cruising around", though alternately they might just say "They're somewhere in xxxx."
	*'''Transportation Wars''': This style of gang war requires Klebitz to chase down and destroy the main enemy vehicle without it getting away. In this gang war there are also many enemies trying to protect a vehicle at all cost, and will call for more backup. If one of the Lost gang members says something like "They are doing a Little Escort Work" or makes any reference to a vehicle, this means that this mission is a Transportation War. This is arguably the easiest of the gang battles, as all Johnny needs to do is destroy the designated vehicle; the easiest way is to drive-by and fire three or four shotgun rounds at the vehicle, which is usually enough to set it on fire; get clear of the vehicle and avoid enemy attacks long enough for the vehicle to blow up, and the battle is won. This is also the battle where Lost casualties can be minimized the most. There is usually a large amount of cash that can be recovered from the site of the vehicle explosion of Johnny is quick enough (though there is danger of being hit by passing vehicles).		*'''Transportation Wars''': This style of gang war requires Klebitz to chase down and destroy the main enemy vehicle without it getting away.

	Needless to say, Johnny needs to be close enough to the gang members during the drive over to the location in order to actually hear the "key phrases" regarding the type of war; the best way is to not begin driving to the site until the type of battle is indicated.
