Welcome to IGN's GTA San Andreas walkthrough of Drive-By, the fifth mission given to you by Sweet. This guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox Series X S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
After the cutscene ends, the objective is the same as the name of the mission. Get into the car and drive to the yellow marker located on your minimap. A cutscene will play, and then you'll see red markers. The red markers show the location of the Ballas that you and your Grove Street fam will be gunning down.
Drive by the Ballas and let the others in the car do the shooting. A majority of the Ballas will stand still and shoot at you, so move your car back and forth to avoid getting hit. Some Ballas will try to run away. Run them over with your car to take them out.
After dealing with the last group of Ballas, you'll automatically receive a two-star wanted level, meaning the police will start hunting you down. Follow the marker on your minimap to the spray shop to lose your wanted level. For every other occasion, driving into the spray shop to lose your wanted level will cost you $100, but this one's free.
Welcome to IGN's GTA San Andreas walkthrough of Drive-Thru, the third mission given to you by Sweet. This guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox Series X S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Big Smoke's hungry, so you and the gang decide to go to Cluckin' Bell to get some food. Once the cutscene ends, get in the car and make your way to the fast-food joint. Follow the guide on your map and drive your car to the red marker to trigger the next cutscene. As the cutscene plays out, Ryder will spot some Ballas in their car acting suspiciously.
The Ballas will start shooting at you from their car, and your mission is to take them out before they make it back to Grove Street. If the Ballas make it all the way there, you'll fail the mission. To take them out, simply ram your car into theirs until it catches fire. Once the car catches fire, the Ballas will get out. You'll want to make sure your car isn't near theirs when it explodes.
Drive-Thru is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Grove Street Families leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson from his home in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.
Carl arrives at Sweet's house to find Sweet, Smoke, and Ryder walking out. Smoke suggests getting something to eat. Carl, Sweet, Smoke and Ryder get into Sweet's car and drive to Cluckin' Bell. On the way, Carl asks how his mother was killed, to which Ryder replies that they were trying to kill Sweet and that people say they saw a green Sabre involved in the shooting. They go to the drive-thru and order their food, which sees Smoke order food for everyone else and a much larger order for himself. After collecting the food, Ryder spots some Kilo Tray Ballas in a pink Voodoo, the same one that chased them a few days earlier, heading towards Grove Street.
The Ballas are chased by Carl, Sweet, Smoke and Ryder. Sweet and Ryder shoot at the Ballas car, while Smoke stuffs his face with food. The Ballas car is eventually destroyed, killing the Ballas inside. Afterwards, Carl drives Sweet, Smoke and Ryder back to Grove Street. Carl then drives Smoke back to his house in Idlewood. Along the way, Carl asks Smoke why he moved out of Grove Street. Smoke tells Carl that he received money from his aunt's will, but Grove Street will always be his home. When Carl and Smoke reach Smoke's house, Smoke gets out and heads inside.
The rewards for completing the mission are $200 and an increase in respect. The mission Nines and AK's is unlocked. The gyms across the state of San Andreas are then available for use after receiving the phone call from Sweet; although going to the gyms in San Fierro or Las Venturas will result in a four-star wanted level until those regions are unlocked.
Along the San Andreas fault near the town of Parkfield, California, an incredibly sensitive array of seismic and GPS instruments has for years been detecting something strange: deep earthquakes that occur well below where most seismic movement occurs in California.
Now, new research finds the root of these silent, deep quakes. They may occur when rocks sliding against each other more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) deep heat up (due to friction) enough to melt, which enables them to slide faster and cause tremors. These tremors may also redistribute stresses in a way that affects the crust above.
"There is a possibility that these tremors may play an important role for triggering larger earthquakes near the surface," said Sylvain Barbot, a geophysicist at the University of Southern California, who led the research.
The San Andreas at Parkfield is perhaps the best-monitored section of the fault. Scientists began focusing on monitoring the area around Parkfield because of its relative predictability. They hoped to be able to make the first successful earthquake prediction on this section of the fault, a hope that was dashed in 1993 when the fault failed to repeat one of its magnitude-6 quakes on schedule. Instead, the fault snapped on Sept. 28, 2004, generating a magnitude-6.0 quake.
"We're studying these [small quakes] because these earthquakes occur every few months," Barbot told Live Science. "So it gives us an opportunity to understand them with a lot of data, but these findings apply to understanding large earthquakes."
Barbot and his colleague Lifeng Wang at the China Earthquake Administration in Beijing used a computer model to mimic the real-life fault and its movements. They found that temperature is a key metric in reproducing the regular, almost monthly, tremors deep beneath the fault. As the rocks slide against each other, they heat up and begin to melt. Depending on the type of rock, this melting occurs at between 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit and 1650 F (600 to 900 degrees Celsius).
The gooey rocks move more easily, generating even more friction, warming up even more and moving even faster. This positive feedback loop creates the deep earthquakes detected by the seismic monitoring. The researchers published their findings Sept. 4 in the journal Science Advances.
It's possible that these deep tremors play a role in triggering the strong earthquakes that occur at the surface at Parkfield, Barbot said. The relationship may also work the other way around, with movement higher up in the crust helping to drive the deep tremors.
Barbot and his colleagues now hope to search for signatures of this melting in rocks that are now at the surface. If they can learn more about the rocks that are deep below the fault and what happens to them as they melt, the researchers may be able to improve their models and better predict how the San Andreas will behave.
"In general, we understand that earthquakes are in fact part of a broader spectrum of things that can happen on a fault, from completely aseismic to mildly seismic to extremely seismogenic and dangerous," Barbot said. "We're trying to understand the whole spectrum of this behavior."
