Hello,

still in Vice City nowadays...

I haven't found a use for the adrenaline pills in VC.
Is there some mission where they come handy? Or secondary objectives (I
can think of Unique Stunt Jumps)?
The effect is too short for long-lasting jobs, such as Firefighter or
Vigilante.

Thanks in advance.

In one of the missions for the black lady who drugs you to perform tasks,
you have to snipe the Cubans from a rooftop.

I find that mission a low easier after taking the pill.

It's useful if you're taking on a lot of enemies while on foot. It allows
you to make lots of headshots in what would otherwise be quite a manic
situation.

It's no use in the car - the effects wear off immediately.

yep, that's the one where it really is useful which is why it's under
the steps so close to the rooftop

Any mission that requires you to take out loads of guys in a short
space of time is good for when you're on adrenaline. Sniping them from
a distance in slow motion makes some missions terribly easy.

The pill isn't much good for any mission requiring a vehicle, as it
loses it's effect whenever you enter a vehicle. Sadly, this goes for
bikes too :o(

The only mission I can remember this being essential is "Dirty
Lickin's" for Auntie Poulet.


Cheers,
Rob

I did that without adrenaline. It took me a couple of tries, though,
IIRC.

Ah thanks.
I haven't reached this point yet, still struggling with "Juju Scramble"
and "Cannon Fodder" - and no pills!
And I guess the pill next to the Malibu comes handy for one of the
Malibu's missions? (still havn't passed "No escape" ).

I'm not sure any of the pills are as useful as that particular one,
rather as the one in GTA3 where you have to blow up the ship with
8ball is pretty much necessary too.

Juju scramble helps if you know your way around and don't be too
afraid to run if you have a small weapon on. I wouldn't say it was an
easy mission but I seem to recall a bike can help rather than a bulky
car which slows you down geting in and out and gives them a bigger
target. It also helps knowing where the nearest police bribes are etc.
(I am assuming you have full health and armour etc)

Cannon fodder helps if you have good long distance weapons and also
knowing the way to the nearest pay and spray. both of these missions
were annoying if memory serves me right.
