Lamar Down

Notes du joueur

• ◆This mission is similar to Hostile Negotiation in GTA IV, Death Row in GTA Vice City and Search and Rescue in GTA Liberty City Stories, as they involve killing several enemies surrounding a building to save an associate of the protagonist.
• ◆This mission is also similar to The Green Sabre in GTA San Andreas, as both missions involve the protagonist saving the deuteragonist shortly after discovering through a close associate that one of their longtime friends has aligned himself with the Ballas.
• ◆Both scenarios also involve an ambush set up by the Ballas.
• ◆A brief part of this mission, showing Franklin assaulting from the first position with an AP Pistol, is seen in the gameplay trailer.
• ◆If the player drives past the sawmill without going to the yellow marker, the shootout will automatically trigger even if Franklin did not meet Michael and Trevor beforehand.
• ◆Regardless of what vehicle Franklin drives to the sawmill, his Buffalo S may appear alongside the other protagonists' personal vehicles.
• ◆When Franklin is watching over the sawmill with the binoculars, Lamar will be wearing his normal green shirt. But when the player finds Lamar, he will be wearing a black T-shirt.
• ◆If Franklin wears Families colors, a Ballas member will yell "He's from The Families, get him!"
• ◆When the player returns to Franklin's vehicle after rescuing Lamar, the radio station will be tuned to West Coast Classics and the song "You Know How We Do It" by Ice Cube will always play.
• ◆If the player goes back to the place the protagonists meet, Michael and Trevor's cars will be there. The player can access them, but destroying them will cause the mission to fail.
• ◆After saving Lamar from an sawmill, the player can take Michael's taligater and Trevor's truck for not falling the mission to take it from saving Lamar.
• ◆When Franklin asks Steve Haines about what he wants from him, sarcastically asking if Haines wants him to kill the president, Haines replies that it's "something more sensible", which is foreshadowing Ending A, which is also given by Haines.
• ◆If the player switches to Michael after this mission, he will be driving home on the freeway and making a comment on the distance between Los Santos and Paleto Bay. If the player switches to Trevor after this mission, he will be driving home as well, but singing "If you go out in the woods today, be prepared for a big surprise...", a line from the children's song "The Teddy Bears Picnic".
• ◆If the player checks Stretch's Lifeinvader page after this mission, they will see that Lamar has posted on his wall, saying that he's ending their friendship for good.
• ◆Furthermore, Lamar will also post on Tanisha's wall thanking her for sending Franklin to help him out.
• ◆It is possible to do this mission without hearing the phone call Michael receives from Dave after The Wrap Up, therefore missing the first discussion regarding killing Trevor.
