Rampages

A rampage icon in GTA Vice City Stories.

Rampages are a type of side-mission where the player has to do certain tasks in under 120 seconds (2 minutes). This type of side-mission is required for 100% completion and has been featured in the games, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Most of the tasks have the player kill a certain amount of gang members, run over pedestrians, perform drive-by's on gang members/vehicles or destroy a certain amount of vehicles. Suitable weapons are given for each rampage. The first rampage completed earns the player $500 ($5000 in GTA III), the next one gives $1000 ($10,000 in GTA III) and so on. In GTA Liberty City Stories, completing all rampages rewards the player with an M-60, which spawns at each of the safehouses. In the other games, only money is given for completing all rampages, as well as contributing towards 100% completion. There are 20 rampages in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, whereas GTA Vice City and the PlayStation 2 version of GTA Vice City Stories feature 35 rampages. The PSP version of GTA Vice City Stories has 30 rampages.

Trivia

• Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2 featured similar side missions, which were named "Kill Frenzy".
• In GTA III, if the player fails a rampage on the first attempt, a new location for the very same rampage is present.
• The censored version of GTA III doesn't have any rampages.
• In GTA Liberty City Stories' censored version, the game has 13 rampages and all the 7 removed ones from the original version are removed because their goal is to kill innocent pedestrians.
• In GTA Vice City Stories, once the player passes the rampage for the first time, the white skull on the icon shows up as blue and this enables the player to play the rampages again any time they please.
