Messing with the Man
updated Dec 4, 2021
Mitch realizes a bike race won’t prove Tommy’s worth and has another task for him back at the Greasy Chopper. He can’t be just a badass. He has to be a “hard” badass too, so it’s time to cause as much mayhem as possible in two minutes to fill a chaos meter. This guide tells you how to do just that and avoid getting busted in the process. advertisement Sure, it sounds fun, but it’s one of the more difficult gang missions. Filling the chaos meter means destroying cars and shooting pedestrians, which also means your wanted level skyrockets. Since you only have two minutes, there’s no time to let the meter deplete, and you’ll likely end up with a five-star wanted level. We recommend grabbing somebody armor before the mission begins. Make sure you’ve got a rocket launcher to deal with vehicles, and if you’ve got one, the Minigun. Police helicopters start following you, and the Minigun is an easy way to destroy them. There’s one on the Haitian drug factory
if you’ve already completed Trojan Voodoo. Once you’re ready, speak with Mitch, and head to a crowded location, such as Downtown, to start causing chaos. It’s pretty straightforward from then on. Just try targeting any police officers as they appear to keep from getting busted. Once the meter fills, you’ll get $2,000 and unlock Mitch’s final mission. You'll also want to find a Safe House and clear your wanted level, since it won't deplete
after the mission ends. How to Complete Messing with the Man

Before the mission starts get the cops after you. Then, destroy any you see! The Chaos Bar will go up a lot faster if you actually do what Mitch said. Grab an Angel, and then destroy things! You will need a powerful weapon like an MP5.
Another very useful method to complete this mission is to put on the Cop uniform by going to the police station in Washington and heading into the locker room (the mission "Cop Land", which is part of the Vercetti Estate missions must be completed). Grab a helicopter from the Vercetti Estate's roof and fly over to Fort Baxter. Because you have the Cop uniform on, the soldiers there won't shoot at you. In one of the towers will be an M60 machine gun. Pick it up, save the game and head back and pick up another. Then start the mission. First, get a 3-star wanted level by using any weapon aside from the M60. Once the Police Maverick comes onto the scene, put every single bullet you have for the M60 into it, until the helicopter blows up (even when it begins to fall from the sky, continue to shoot it). This will more than likely earn enough points to finish the mission, but if not, simply destroy a few more police cars or kill an officer or two to fill the bar.
The safest and fastest method to accomplish this mission is by using a motorcycle Anjel firing several cars and destroying them. The chaos meter will skyrocket, and it is not necessary to kill civilians and police officers. It is recommended explode parking cars which is near where the mission begins, it is an isolated place and not bring police attention.

It didn't work out.""Big" Mitch Baker: "Yeah, right, but this family takes care of its own. We don't ask a man to do the dirty work and then let him do fifteen years hard time. Yeah, that's right.

Walkthrough
He quickly notices Tommy and greets him.
Mitch says that he was notified by Cougar that Vercetti can handle a chopper well.
Tommy instead asks Mitch how much more errands he'll have to run before the Bikers clan agrees to act as security for the Love Fist gig, as Tommy says he's a very busy man.
Tommy says that if it's a brawl that'll make the bikers act as security, then they can fight right now.
Mitch tells Tommy that their motorcycle club is not just about brawling, but about being a part of a family and being able to trust each other.
Tommy dismisses Mitch's talks of "being a part of a family" and tells him that he's already been a part of a family before and it didn't do him any good.
Mitch responds to Tommy's dismissiveness by saying that the Bikers will not ask Tommy to do their dirty work for them and then leave him to rot in a jail, referencing Tommy's previous ties with the Italian mafia in Liberty City.
Tommy is surprised by Mitch and Mitch comments saying that he's "done his homework" and that he knows all about Tommy's past.
Mitch tells Tommy that their motorcycle club is the "biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses" and that Tommy belongs with them.
But Mitch once again asks Tommy to go and mess with the man in order to prove he hasn't lost his capabilities since his mafia days.
Mitch says that the whole country needs to be woken up and that their motorcycle club will be the ones to wake it up.
Mitch tells Tommy to get out of the bar and spread havoc across the city.
After going outside, Tommy must do as he was told; spread havoc across Vice City.
Tommy causing chaos in the city.
Tommy shooting down a VCPD Maverick to send enough shockwaves through Vice City.

Trivia
- The wanted level does not clear upon completion of the mission. The other mission where the wanted level does not clear upon completion is Shogun Showdown from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. However, in both missions, the wanted level can be cleared by loading an autosave saved after the mission completion in the mobile version.
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne. The song is also featured on the
in-game radio station V-Rock. In the 10th Anniversary edition for the game this background track was replaced by "2 Minutes to Midnight" by Iron Maiden, which is also featured on the in-game radio station V-Rock.
- When approaching the bar before starting this mission, "Bark at the Moon" can be heard from inside the bar, even in the 10th Anniversary edition.
- When Mitch says "This whole damn country...", in the cutscene, it could be noticed that there is a pedestrian's head on the floor. The head is actually a waitress model that is incorrectly lowered into the floor. It is implied that the model originally meant to be a woman but is used by a male model. Video can be seen here.
- This is the only storyline mission in both 3D and HD era that encourages and rewards the player for killing innocent pedestrians.
- This mission is cut from the German version of the game, along with Dirty Lickin's.
