GTA III - Side Mission GuidePatriot Playground
Use a Patriot to collect checkpoints around the cliffs at Portland Beach before the time runs out.
To start the Patriot Playground checkpoint challenge, you need to get into the parked Patriot outside the Supa Save, just South of Saint Mark's.
There are 15 blue ringed checkpoints which are scattered over the beach, hills and cliffs of Portland Beach and around Salvatore's mansion.
You can collect them in any order and the timer doesn't start until you drive through the first checkpoint, but as soon as you do, you'll have 20 seconds to reach the next one as your time counts down. Each additional checkpoint you collect will add a further 20 seconds to your timer and you must collect all 15 of them before your total time runs out. In total, you'll have 5 minutes (15 x 20 seconds) to beat the mission, but you must collect a checkpoint at least every 20 seconds to keep the timer alive.
Tips
I always start with the checkpoint on the beach, next to the water and Portland Harbor. Turn around so you can slowly reverse (or roll back) into it - just make sure not to end up in the water. Then, you can accelerate towards the next checkpoint straight ahead as soon as the timer appears which will save you time and give you more of a buffer to take your time for the more challenging checkpoints.
Work your way through the checkpoints under the train tracks, and those on the hills and cliffs near Saint Marks, also collecting those on the beach too, but when you reach the steep path up the cliff right next to Salvatore's mansion (before you reach the rock arch), drive up to the mansion.
Collect the checkpoints around Salvatore's mansion and the one right down the cliff facing the lighthouse.
Next, carefully make your way down the Northern side of the cliffs, then grab the checkpoint under the arch.
By this point you should have plenty of time left to grab the dangerous checkpoint right by the water on some uneven ground.
As long as you manage to collect the final checkpoint before the time runs out, you'll complete the challenge, regardless of how much time you have remaining.
