HoboTron

HoboTron is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located at the grounds of the Colony Island Cemetery.

The mission can be started by walking onto the blue marker found at the center of the cemetery. The player will then be stripped of their weapons and will be given three timebombs which can be dropped when desired and automatically detonates after a few seconds. The objective of this side mission is to survive six rounds of hostile "hobos" who will relentlessly chase the player and become better equipped as the rounds go by.

Each "hobo" carries money, which is the scoring element used in the mission and therefore must be collected by the player, and better equipped "hobos" will carry a larger amount of it. The current round and the weapon the player uses to kill the "hobos" also influences the amount they drop.

During rounds, weapons such as Twin Pistols, Micro SMGs, shotguns, Assault Rifles, and miniguns may spawn (represented by a green dot on the radar) which can be picked up and used by the player to defend themselves from the onslaught.

There are a total of six rounds. The player needs to survive one round for a Bronze medal, three for a Silver medal, and six for a Gold medal. Once the sixth round is passed, the mission is over, but the player only needs to survive one round for the purpose of 100% completion. Conversely, the player will fail the mission if they are killed or leave the cemetery grounds by jumping over the barricades that block the entrances. Should the player fail the mission, they will always start over from the first round.
