- Buying all properties is required for
Getting ready for gang wars- To make gang wars as easy as possible, you'll need a cop bike and an infinite minigun.
- Getting a cop bike is not a problem, get a 2 stars wanted level and steal one
- Getting an infinite minigun is only possible if you have Katie as your girlfriend, because you'll have to die while being in minigun turret mode during Up, Up and Away (Casino Robbery missions) and Katie allows you to keep the weapons after dying. Video tutorial can be found here.
Taking over- First you'll need to complete Beat Down on B Dup and Grove 4 Life as these 2 missions require you to take over Glen Park and 2 territories in Idlewood. After you can start taking over the rest.
- You are also required to take over 35% (19/53) of all territories in order to unlock End of the Line.
- A territory is considered yours after completing 2 out of 3 waves, this is where the cop bike comes in.
In essence:
- Start a gang war in territory 1
- Beat wave 1 and wave 2 while slowly making your way to territory 2
- While waiting for wave 3 to spawn, drive into territory 2
- As soon as wave 3 spawns, cancel the gang war by activating and deactivating Vigilante
- Kill the leftover enemies of wave 3 to start a new gang war
- Rinse and repeat until there is nothing left to conquer
Side note: you can enable colour blind mode to see the exact borders of gang territories
