* MagnificentBastard: [[VillainProtagonist Luis Fernando Lopez]] is the personal bodyguard and business partner of "Gay" Tony Price, who uses his collected attitude and craftiness to get him and his friends out of trouble. Working for Mori Kibbutz and Rocco Pelosi to pay off Tony's debts, Luis also works with Yusuf Amir to pull off grand heists, with Luis successfully stealing helicopters and a train cart. Deciding to fully get Tony out of debt, Luis works to obtain two million dollars worth of diamonds, personally going to get it back from Niko Bellic and Johnny Klebitz when they stole it from him, before he manages to trade them back to save Gracie.

Confronting and killing Bulgarin on a private jet, Luis jumps out of the blown up jet and reunites with Tony, with the two mending their friendship and [[EarnYourHappyEnding deciding to restart their successful businesses]].

** "Going Deep". After a very long car ride, you have to fight off wave after wave of heavily armed, heavily armored NOOSE agents in a parking garage, and you only get partial body armor(if you enter a Stockade vehicle). And if any of the agents get close, they will tear your health bar to shreds. It's strongly advised you save some explosive shotgun ammo for this mission to make it less hair-pulling.
** Likewise, "In The Crosshairs", which involves fighting your way across several rooftops through an army of guys with automatic weapons and grenade launchers, fending off the occasional ''helicopter attack'', and ''then'' jumping down a fire escape to street level, where there are yet more gun-toting goons, stealing the nearest car and driving away until the mission ends.
** "Caught With Your Pants Down". Yusuf has you acquire an [[TankGoodness APC]], which, unfortunately for you, is suspended high above the city from a sky crane. He expects you to have the ImprobableAimingSkills needed to snipe the cables holding up the APC from a moving helicopter. When you finally do get past all that, you find that the APC is a bit of a [[PowerUpLetdown letdown]], seeing how it's not completely ImmuneToBullets, and will take damage from StuffBlowingUp too close to it, so you have to deliberately hold yourself back from going apeshit with it.
** Most of the helicopter missions tend to be like this considering the awkward handling of helicopters. In particular, "Sexy Time" could be this for many fans, as you have to aim downward and maintain both low altitude and distance to hit the boats that are running away, while dodging RPG fire. Because of these mechanics, it's very easy to crash the chopper into the ocean. In addition, the forums often have contradictory advice regarding how to deal with the mission. Many users have compared this to GTA: San Andreas' infamous (but optional) mission "Supply Lines".
** "Party's Over" is this to many people. Mainly because [[NintendoHard you're left with little cover, you must defeat more than four waves of enemies that can easily kill you should you make even the simplest of mistakes.]] And it '''IS''' possible for Gay Tony to die a bit easily.

* FridgeBrilliance: In the mission, “Dropping In”, Luis has to assassinate a man named, Marki Ashvilli, a Russian businessman who owns a hockey team that Ray Bulgarian wants to obtain. At the beginning of the mission, Luis [[EveryoneHasStandards is uncomfortable with the idea of assassinating somebody]], however, he’s forced to go on the mission anyway; when the player finally gets to Marki, he thinks this is over an incident involving an underaged Latin girl. The game reveals that as a child, Luis (who is of Dominican descent) had shot a teacher for molesting his sister at school. Marki unknowably gave Luis a reason to kill him.
