'''Drug Wars''' is a [[:Category:Side Missions|side mission]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. In these side missions, [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]] helps his friends [[Armando Torres]] and [[Henrique Bardas]] in build up their drug empire, by stealing it from other drug gangs in a variety of ways. There are 50 drug wars, similar to [[Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned|TLAD's]] [[Gang Warfare in The Lost and Damned|Gang Warfare]], introduced to Luis by Armando after completing the mission [[Corner Kids]]. Their starting locations are marked on the map by pill icons. They become progressively more difficult, but the money earned increases as well. Every 10 Drug Wars completed gives the player a respawning weapon in Luis Lopez' [[Northwood Apartment]]. Completing 25 Drug Wars will raise the player's [[Completion in The Ballad of Gay Tony|completion percentage]] and also unlock the "Snow Queen" [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement/trophy]]. | '''Drug Wars''' is a [[:Category:Side Missions|side mission]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].

Even after completing 50 of them, Luis can still engage in more Drug Wars as they are infinite; this was likely done by Rockstar to provide players with a playable activity after the primary story missions and other side-missions are completed, as well as the ability to continue earning money for the remainder of the game. | ||

* Armando and Henrique do not need to survive in order for the mission to succeed, only Luis needs to stay alive. After the mission is complete, everything will be as if they never died in the first place (If only one dies, the other will state that the "dead" one was injured badly enough that they'll need to go to the hospital like this, "Fucking H in the hospital again!","Damn! A's Dumb!" and when they both die Luis will say, "Yo! You fucks got a thing for paramedics, why you leave me?). As more Drug Wars are completed, it gets harder to keep them alive and often at least one will die. | * Armando and Henrique do not need to survive in order for the mission to succeed, only Luis needs to stay alive.
