The leader of The sharks, who is unknown, betrayed Ricardo Diaz by stealing his drugs, this caused Lance Vance and Tommy to perform an attack from an helicopter in the mission Phnom penh '86.

They dress in red Hawaiian shirts, similar to the Vercetti gang, but a different colour.

Gang Street wannabe's

Information In Grand theft auto: Vice city, there is a group of gangs that are named street wannabes (including the Sharks, but they served as a more criminally minded gang), these gangs include: The leaf link golfers The Military Patrol Invest group (P.I.G) Although these aren't real criminal gangs in the game, they still attack you if you cause a threat to them. The military operate in and around Fort Baxter airbase and are a very dangerous group as they carry M4's and hang around in large groups. If you enter Fort Baxter without the cop uniform (unlocked during Copland) they will attack you on sight. The leaf link golfers are a group of elderly golfers that hang around the Leaf links golf club. They drive caddies and carry golf clubs, which can be picked up after successfully killing a golfer. They don't pose any major threat like the P.I.G & The Military but will still attack nonetheless. The Patrol invest group are a group of security officers operating mainly in Starfish Island and around North point mall. They have also been known to hang around Vice Port and Escobar international airport. They are often seen chasing and attacking criminals, and have been known to fight with police officers. They carry 9mm pistols and pose a minor threat to Tommy.

Im referring to proper gangs, not law enforcement officers, old people who play golf or the military. Im talking criminal gangs such as the above. And, the sharks are called the street wannabe's as when you kill lots of them your least faourite gangs become street wannabe's instead of Sharks. But the actual name of the gang isn't street wannabe's, they refer to themselves as The sharks. I'll add it anyway.

[Spuds725]

The soldiers at fort baxter are also classified as "street wannabees"-- I shot alot of them with the sniper rifle (they don't shoot back at you if you shoot them with that) when I was working on my headshots stat in a recordbook contest... and my least favorite gang became the "street wannabees".

The P.I.G.s are the "renta cops" mostly on starfish island and near the mall.... not sure what they are classified as in the game...

Nice guide..

[flicko]

The P.I.Gs often spawn in and around Escobar international airport, as well as the mall and Starfish Island.

I still think it's worth adding to the guide, at least mentioning the soldiers are classed as streetwannabe's and then two add-ons detailing information about the golders & P.I.Gs. It would make this guide look more complete.

Nice work on the re-hash. This is certainly superior to your previous topic. Doesn't it feel a whole lot better knowing the fact that this is all your work...?

Nice guide. You did a good job on this. Keep it up.

Nice work on the update, complete with pictures of each gang (Also good job on the screenshot of the P.I.Gs outside of DBP security). One thing though, the golfers aren't actually classified as streetwannabes in-game. They are stated in the stats as Golfers, only the Sharks, soldiers and P.I.Gs are classed as streetwannabes.

Also, you can actually get the Golfers to wield pistols and shoot at you. To do this, get a group of them to chase you, then jump on top of a vehicle. The Golfers weaponry will immediately change to pistols, and they become much more deadly than when they only have golf-clubs in their weaponry. Another bit of interesting trivia.

Yes. The police will do the same when you have 1 star wanted level where they only use their nightsticks to attack you. A similar case happens with the Diablos in GTA III and Liberty City Stories.

The thing is, with the police, we all know that they have the colt .45 in their weaponry, it's their duty to have one. But I'm sure the majority of members who read about the Golfers wielding pistols came across as quite a shock. They only ever attack you with a golf-club, it's very peculiar that they change their inventory to the colt .45 when you jump on top of a vehicle.

Though, on my specific version of the game (Platinum version for the PS2), the moment I jump on top of a vehicle, and I am being charged down by a group of golfers, my game freezes. I verified this on two different copies of the game, and one of them was brand new at the time.

Thats just disturbing watching a group of elderly golfers pull a gun on you, I tried it earlier, I lol'd.

The thumbnails aren't clickable, otherwise, good.

I love the clothes of the Vercetti Gang, especially the green and yellow hawaii shirt.

Hah, I did exactly the same. It amazed me that for so many years I was unaware of this, and was simply astounded when it happened. It mean that even when you are seemingly out of reach, you are still not safe, even at the hands of a few aging stale pensioners!

[Vercetti27]

^ WOW. Staying away from the streetwannabe's turf at leaf links now. They're a load of badasses lol.

Streetwannabes..? The golfers have their very own classification, which is... golfers! They're too sophisticated to be classed as streetwannabes.

They can be quite annoying at times, especially when you're in a Caddy. Because they haven't got any doors, it's as easy to pull somebody out of one, as it is if you were on a bike. Then you have to wait a few seconds until you get to your feet, and when you do you are immediately clobbered by four or five golf clubs! The golfers are rather comical, though.

What about the guys who hang around the North point mall? You know, the guys in the brown and black leather jackets, they look like Greasers. They dont wield weapons but they are always fighting with cops and being chased.

Every City has to contain criminals, and those pedestrians are exactly that. They're the type who walk like they've had a steaming iron rod poked up their arse, and are often on the run from the law, as you have stated. Also, if you are in the vicinity of one, and you are stationary in a vehicle, quite often they will walk up to you, throw you out of the vehicle and drive away with it hastily. It's always those peds that you see driving more erratically in other random vehicles as well, because they have stolen them.

But yeah, they aren't classed as gangs, they're the criminals of the game.
