Question GTA IV Ques's

Guys,

Quick questions regarding this, I am about 20% in and loving it, spending all the time possible on it!!

I am now at the point where the 1st apartment and taxi rank has been burnt down, so I am at the 2nd safehouse. So have I kinda moved away from the first map now, or is this still the 1st one? How many are there?

Regarding the maps I take it Bohan/Dukes/Broker count as one map? I only ask as when I have to kill 10 most wanted on each island...?

What I wana know is, do random characters add up to the 100% complete status, cause you can do one or so missions for them. I have met Brian once where he gave me $100 cheeky sod, also not met up with Badman, I only realized this last night. So can I find these dudes again somehow?

Is there only one gun shop in the first part of the game? I want something a bit more deadly!!?

Many thanks

Marky

Re: GTA IV Ques's

Second safe house still counts as first Island, the next 10 most wanted won't appear until the second island is unlocked and your actually on it. Even when looking up the most wanted, if you're still parked on the first island it'll show the first 10 not the second. The random characters get unlocked as you proceed through missions and either let certain people live or die, the ones that don't appear because you killed them earlier do not count towards 100% namely Jeff, Cherise, Clarence and Ivan. The others do need to be found and their missions completed as they count towards 5% of the total game.

Better guns get unlocked as you progress and yes only one gun shop that I'm aware of however once you get Little Jacob to like you enough you can call him up and he'll meet you in his car with all the weapons you've unlocked to that point in the boot of his car for much better prices eg $300 for body armour as opposed to $500 from the shop.

Regards

Re: GTA IV Ques's

Right ok thanks that explains a lot!!

The odd thing is Brian, apparently I will see him outside Comrades bar, after I did one of the early missions which I did ages ago??

The other bad man, apparently he will be sitting outside Pill Pharm pharmacy after doing little jacobs mission Shadow, again I did this ages and ages ago but have not seen him??

I defo did not kill these two as they just turn up apparently, do these two count towards 100%?? As I have done the missions to unlock the above 2 why are they not appearing??

Thanks

Marky

Re: GTA IV Ques's

These 2 do count towards 100%, 3 missions with Brian I think and only 1 with Badman. I'm unsure if they're always there or just certain times sorry, I generally just drive about getting on with the game and spot the small blue person icon on your map/radar down the bottom corner and head for them then. The second time you find Brian he is just outside your safe house near the Comrades bar across the road.
