why are paramedic missions so stupid

[omar]

are they hard or is it just me that i'm slow, the npcs start running towards the ambulance and they instantly die with a small hit after like 8-9 levels

GTA 3 is the worst, i got close to finishing it multiple times, just to have someone run into the ambulance and die, like you said. I honestly think part of it is just luck to beat paramedic missions.

I think its relatively easy, when u understand the mechanic.
Dont go fast around corners, brake early when you arrive, plan your route wisely: You only get 3 guys, so drive the best route to catch them in packs of 3 and use shortcuts.
Time limit is easier than in GTA 3, so there is no need to rush.

I recommend doing this mission in Shady Palms Hospital. It's the easiest spot for completing the mission.

Yeah it's silly how they run towards the side of the ambulance before you've fully stopped. However, I've never had anyone die that way, they just get knocked down which wastes about 5 extra seconds while they get back up.

The ambulance handles with more predictably/stability if you use the handbrake, not the normal brake. It's impossible to roll the ambulance in a sharp turn using the handbrake etc. You also rule out the risk of reversing over a patient, where if you hold the normal brake down for slightly too long, and thus start reversing, you can run them over as they try to climb in the rear doors.

I also find it easier with the siren off. Vehicles can sometimes move out of the way unpredictably with the siren on leading to more collisions. Vehicles moving out of the way due to the siren can also move onto the pavement/sidewalk and crush and kill your patient!

i just finished level 12 of the ambulance missions and once again, just like in GTA 3, i didn't get infinite sprint. Is it a cheat or something? I don't know how to use it, but when I sprint, I still get tired after ~3 seconds.

Maybe you got to level 12 and cancelled/failed mission and didn't complete it?

But i got 100% in gta 3 with no problem
