The Espresso-2-Go mission is one of the most difficult in the Grand Theft Auto series, but it’s easier to complete when players know where to go.
The Espresso-2-Go Mission i GTA 3 as a part of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is known by fans as one of the most difficult missions in the series. This is due to the strict time constraints that are in place and the travel distance required to succeed.
The Espresso-2-Go mission is given to players by Yakuza member Asuka Kasen. Even with Trilogy editions updated controls, players still find it annoyingly difficult to travel to and destroy every coffee stand across the game’s three islands, all the while the cartel is doing their best to put fans in an early grave. And all that on a time limit.
The time limit for this mission begins after the player destroys three of the nine stores in GTA 3. At that point, fans have eight minutes in real time to destroy the rest before the cartel can warn their dealers. When this is the case, it makes the most sense for players to start their destruction with either the two stalls on Portland Island or the two on Shoreside Vale, that way they do not have to travel back to these islands.
