Not So Fast is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez by Gay Tony to Luis Lopez from his apartment at the Little Italy district of Liberty City. It ties in with Museum Piece, of The Cousin of Bellic and Collector's Item, of The Lost and Damned. This mission takes place from Luis's point of view, in which he ambushes the diamond exchange between Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and the Jewish Mob.

In this mission, Luis escapes via helicopter while Niko and Johnny fight goons in the right and left hallway, respectively. Luis drops down from the scaffolding and chases after Isaac Roth after killing several guards and Mori Green during the deal. Isaac hides under the table from Luis. After making Luis an offer, Isaac is knocked unconscious by the butt of his rifle and Luis makes it to the roof, where he takes Yusuf's gold-plated Buzzard to safety after dealing with three police choppers.

Upon completion the player is awarded the Diamonds Forever achievement.

Walkthrough

You start from Hercules. You'll phone Yusuf to borrow the Buzzard, which is now golden. After the phone call get to the West River Helipad, which is not far. Once in the Buzzard, get to The Libertonian. Once there go down the scaffolding and watch the deal cutscene from Luis's point of view. After the curscene is finished climb up the ladders and get back to your Buzzard and fly back to the Helipad. However 3 Annihilator's will force you to turn back and destroy them. In is not a walk in the park however, as they will shoot rockets from their chopper. A skilled pilot will easily destroy the helicoptors. Destroy them and back to the Helipad. Tony will shout through his Schafter window: "Hey Lou, arriving in style!"

Trivia

  • Just like from Johnny's and Niko's point of view, it is possible to kill the other protagonist. Luis can kill both of them, although you fail the mission if any of them die, despite them being enemies. Niko's running style is different to that of GTA IV.
  • This is the first time this event was seen in a different cinematic point of view, as camera angles were edited to show what Luis was doing while Niko and Johnny tried to sell the diamonds. It seems that there has been a re-recording of Luis's voice. There is a slight difference between The Ballad Of Gay Tony and the other versions.
  • Before climbing the ladder to escape the museum, you can hear both Niko and Johnny taunting their enemies.
  • One of the people inside an Enemy Helicoptor calls the Buzzard a golden monstrosity, while Luis call's it a golden goose.
  • Even if you haven't got an AK-47, Luis will kill Mori Green with it.
