Corrupt police, drug cartels and a fast food franchise as a cover. Surely some of you think about Breaking Badbut you are wrong… for the first time in the history of this combination. Rockstar Games has replaced Los Pollos Hermanos with Cluckin’ Bell as an excuse to put on another stage full of shootings, explosions and the most insane craziness.
Character Vincent Effenburgerformer head of security at The Diamond Casino & Resort and now Los Santos Police, contacted my suicide squad to kill two birds with one stone: destroy the cell of a drug cartel, which operates behind the Cluckin’ Bell franchise, and annoy all the corrupt police officers who make a profit.
Cluckin’ Bell Raid in GTA Online
I’m not going to deceive you: moved by Cluckin’ Bell It is not among the best GTA Online stories. I liked others like San Andreas Mercenaries and Drug Wars much more, but it is undeniable that Rockstar Games knows very well what it is doing when it comes to creating epic and very crazy situations, worthy of any Michael Bay film.
The thing is meaningful because this new operation has something different from the rest: the team leader can decide on several missions When do we have enough equipment?. I know it sounds strange, but it’s simpler than it seems. During the first missions, we raid several locations to steal weapons, equipment, vehicles and money, and in the process sabotage some trucks and hack computers. All for denying corrupt fried chicken!
We opted for the military equipment (automatic pistol, machine gun, silenced shotgun and grenades) and the wonderful Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor, a kind of military Jeep that was very useful for us to escape. We could have gathered more equipment and vehicles, but we decided to take pragmatism as our flag. Raiding a gang’s street, a yacht, a money laundering facility and hacking several vehicles seemed like enough violence to us.
Getting equipped is just the appetizer. Another mission had us gathering information and eventually robbing a train. And when I say “a train”, I mean THE train of GTA Online, that unstoppable force of nature that we have all climbed into at some point. My plan was to stay in the cars to destroy the enemies that were pursuing us, but my partner Juan Sanmartín couldn’t quite find the right way to take control… so I took them before we all died.
It took me a minute to realize that the train was slowing down every so often because the enemies were trying to hack it to slow it down… or I had to hack it to make it run at full power. The truth is, I didn’t notice and I have a justified excuse: cars, motorcycles and even helicopters in the middle of the road, as if that were going to make me stop. How many of you can say that you have destroyed a helicopter with a train in GTA Online? Well I do!
I told you that the Cluckin’ Bell update was not up to par with others, not that it was bad. The train ride became the suicide squad’s most insane and schizophrenic moment: gunfights, explosions, and a very real worry about being derailed. “Do you know if I can get the train off the track? Because we’re going to kill ourselves with me at the controls,” I said while laughing.
Another funny moment was during a vehicle theft. I decided to stay behind while my three companions escape with the objective: a very cool muscle car. When I had almost caught up with them, I heard from the group voice “it can’t be.” I expect the worst because they are terrorists behind the wheel. There is no movement that does not see one of them overturned or flying through the air. Incredible gunmen, but terrible drivers. We restarted the mission and completed it, this time without leaving the car trapped in an impossible place.
The final mission is actually the Asalto a Cluckin’ Bell. I’m not proud to say that we always fall into the same dynamic: we try to carry out the missions through tactics and stealth, but we always end up involved in the most absurd shootouts in history. We managed to kill three guards in stealth before the alarms went off and everything turned into a bullet festival.
“Well, it’s time to take out the machine gun,” I said with a certain assumed resignation. The mission had two objectives: hacking and collecting the drugs. Being the free and clueless soul that I am, I ended up in the hacking room… and I had to run to the drug rooms to help my partner. And then they are surprised that he was unable to attend five minutes in a row in math classes.
The rest of the mission is quite routine and not very epic: we shoot the police when leaving the building, we get into the SUV and escape towards the city. We managed to reach our objective after losing the police in a lost alley in Los Santos. Considering the driving skills of my companions, reaching the base on all four wheels was quite a surprise.
In short: the update Asalto a Cluckin’ Bell It’s not the ultimate crazy thing, but it’s been entertaining and crazy enough to remind me that it’s always a good idea to go back to it from time to time. GTA Online to catch. Furthermore, these missions do not require a crazy investment of money… something that is a plus. What does require three or four million dollars is the Police Interceptor that you unlock when you finish the entire story. After more than 10 years of playing, Rockstar Games can sit back and wait for you to farm to buy a car.
