This GTA: Vice City walkthrough of Shakedown, Tommy Vercetti's first mission, will help you assert your dominance over Vice City and find some stores to smash up. This guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox, PC, Switch, and PS5.

You can watch the video below for a video walkthrough or continue down the page for the written walkthrough.

Head to the North Point Mall

Now that you're the boss of this town, you'll determine your own missions. You can find the pink marker right in front of your office. Just step on it to trigger the first phase of city cleanup under your reign. Lance, Avery and Ken are present for the meeting. They agree they need to take a strong position with local businesses in order to send a message that there's a new king.

Grab some Body Armor (near the steps near the car) and make sure you take some weapons. Get in the Stinger and head over to North Point Mall. You have five minutes to smash up enough of the storefronts to convince people they need protection from you.

Smash Up the Marked Stores

Starting on the lower level, just work your way clockwise around the mall, shooting out the windows that appear as purple blips on the map. Make sure you have all of the windows before moving on, because there won't be time to come back.

There are plenty of cops in the mall, so your antics are bound to get noticed. Just keep moving and they shouldn't be able to touch you. The body armor will absorb any bullets that actually get to you. Once you're done with the lower level, take the escalator upstairs and do the same thing... clockwise until you finish.

Once this is done, you'll get $2000 and be able to buy properties all over town. It's much like buying up save houses, except that these buildings have the potential to make money for you, which will lead to further city dominance!
