Gangs[]
Summary[]
- Take the fight to the beach.
Story[]
- Date: July 13, 1979
- Time: 5:23 am
- Place: Coney Island
The Warriors arrive back in Coney Island, although they are immediately confronted by Luther and the Rogues, who chase The Warriors in their hearse. The Warriors are able to outrun the hearse, and regroup beneath the boardwalk near Coney's beach. The Rogues' hearse then pulls up and Luther taunts The Warriors for a brief time, before Warlord Swan leads The Warriors out onto the beach and Luther and the Rogues follow. Swan asks Luther why he wasted Cyrus, and when Luther replies that there was no reason, Swan challenges him to a one-on-one fight. Swan wins the fight, sending a battered and bruised Luther into cover. Luther draws his handgun and shoots at Swan and Warchief Snow, although The Warriors are able to weaken him by throwing glass bottles at him, before Swan disables him when he throws a switchblade into Luther's wrist.
Shortly after this, Masai and a large group of Gramercy Riffs appear, now aware that Luther is behind Cyrus' murder. Masai praises The Warriors, before allowing them safe passage past the Riffs on the beach. As The Warriors walk off, Masai and the Riffs swarm the Rogues and waste them. The D.J. announces the big alert has been called off and apologises to The Warriors for the situation. In the aftermath, Swan and Mercy begin a relationship. The Warriors, safe and finally home, walk down the beach, illuminated by the sunrise.
Walkthrough[]
(A) Luther and his Rogues will try to run you over. Tap the different buttons to run away...
(B) WARRIORS! COME OUT TO PLA-AY!
(C) BOSS BATTLE
Now you have to fight Luther one-on-one. He is a wimp and can get his butt kicked. Just use heavy combos on him. Once he's hurt, he'll resort to wussy tactics and get out a gun. Just a note on this part, the boat can't be destroyed by gun fire. Get bottles and throw them at Luther. Avoid his shots; he has a six fire weapon so just count them off before going into the open. When the Rogues come after you, tell Snow to Wreck em' All! You still throw bottles at Luther. Snow will not get hit by the bottle throwers or Luther, so just leave him on Wreck em' All. Once Swan gets his knife out, you have to throw it at Luther. Just get behind the boat, wait until 6 shots. After he shot 6 times, then press A+X to throw it at him.
ROLL CREDITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Script[]
Coney Island, 5:23 am, July 13, 1979
(The Warriors and Mercy get off a train at Coney subway station, Stillwell Avenue.)
Swan: This was what we fought all night to get back to? Come on, let's go.
(Cut to the Warriors and Mercy walking through Coney Amusement Park. The Rogues' hearse starts following them. Cropsy is driving.)
Luther (to Cropsy): Stay right on their ass.
Swan: I got a bad feeling about this. (Cropsy speeds up) Move, MOVE!
Johnny: Ahahahahahaha! Run, you shits!
Cropsy: Don't trip, fucker!
DeeDee: Haha! You're all dead! We gonna run over your fuckin' faces!
Tommy: Faster, Warriors! Faster! Hahaha! The Warriors did it! The Warriors did it! Hahaha!
Joey: You're gonna die, motherfuckers! Shit, I hope you fall.
Luther: Run 'em down! We're comin' for you, Warriors! (the Warriors and Mercy escape then underneath a boardwalk at the end of a street) Warriors, come out to pla-ay!
(He says it four times. It gets louder and more manic every time.)
Swan: Everybody packed?
Cochise: Yeah.
Swan: All of you stay behind me. I'm gonna take 'em out to the sand.
Snow: What about you? You ready?
(Swan takes out a knife)
Swan: Let's do it. Let's just get those cutters and get down to the beach. (all cuters obtained) Let's move! (head off to the beach with Luther and his Rogues come over to them) When we see the ocean, we figure we're home, we're safe.
Luther: This time, you got it wrong.
Swan: Why'd you do it? Why'd you waste Cyrus?
Luther: No reason. I just like doing things like that.
Swan: Let's do it. You and me.
Luther: One on one? Yeah! (defeated by Swan before holding a gun) You're crazy! You're dead! All of you! And you know it! You're dead! Who's the king?! Me, goddammit! King Luther! (hit by a thrown bottle) Drag that deadbeat out here, Rogues! Hey, Warriors! You're as real nice if you take the fall for us. You should have stayed home, Warriors! You really think you're gonna live through this, do you Warriors?! (Swan and Snow defeats 3 Rogues) This ain't a joke, when I said kill 'em, I MEAN IT! Dammit, Rogues! Don't go easy on, 'em. Fuckin' destroy 'em! They're the enemy! They needs to die. The Warriors needs to die! Stick 'em when they're down. (Laughs) When they're dead, bring me that chick to ruin with. You idiots don't want these dudes to rat us out, do ya? WELL, DO YA?!?!
(Swan throws a lot of bottles at Luther.)
Mercy: Swan!
(Swan then shows a knife.)
Luther: Who's the brawn? Where'd you pick up the piece of that? I wouldn't mind nail in the middle of something down on that chick. Hey, why don't you come on over? I give you a ride!
(Swan throw it at Luther. Swan's knife is through Luther's arm. He screams and rolls down the sand dune. Snow and Cochise pick him up and bring him over to Swan, who takes the knife out of his arm and cleans it in his hair. Masai and a large group of Riffs come onto the beach)
Masai: Riffs!
Riffs: Yeah right!
(The Riffs come over to the Warriors and the Rogues.)
Swan (to Masai): You still looking for us?
Masai (looking at Luther): We found what we're looking for.
Luther: No. Nooo. It wasn't us. It was them... the Warriors.
Masai (to Swan): You Warriors are good. Real good.
Swan: The best.
Masai: The rest is ours.
(The Riffs allow the Warriors and Mercy to head off. The Riffs then turn their attention to the Rogues. Cut to the radio station)
D.J.: Good news, boppers. The big alert has been called off. It turns out that the early reports were wrong. All wrong. Now for that group out there that had such a hard time getting home, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song.
(The song 'In the City' starts playing. Cut to the Warriors and Mercy walking along the beach. Swan and Mercy are walking hand in hand. The credits roll as the Riffs proceed to hand out a brutal beatdown on the Rogues.)
DJ Reports[]
Alright, boppers. The streets are finally starting to cool down after last night's heat wave. We lost a lot of major players from the game and everything is wide open. There's a lot of moves to be made and a lot of empty positions to be filled. One thing's for sure though: the truce is most definitely off. Sorry, magic man. Some things are just too good to be true, I guess. My apologies again to that crew from Coney Island. That was a long walk home you all had. Remember, boppers; if you ever find yourself down in the big C.I., they grow some real mean mothers down there. Mean and heavy. And they call them... Warriors. Adios.
Trivia[]
- This is also the first and only level that is featured in day time, after beating the game, the background will reset to dark night sky.
- During the Credits, you can control Masai and one of Riffs member to beat up the Rogues.
- Luther's name is fully reveled when you fight him, and even the DJ mentions his name if you get a game over screen.
- In the original Xbox/PS2/PSP versions, as well as the first update of the PS3 release, you can hear "In The City" by Joe Walsh in the credits. In the PS4 and later updated PS3 releases, this song has been removed because of copyright issues. Meaning that Rockstar Games tried, failed or did not renew the licensing for that song. Instead, "Last of an Ancient Breed" by Desmond Child plays at the start of the credits in the PS4 and latest updated PS3 versions. As a result, it ruined the iconic ending, as well as causing controversy and upsetting many of the players.
- The text for these songs was also removed from the credits and only quotation marks remain where they originally were.
- This is considered to be shortest level only by a slight margin compared to other levels such as Real Live Bunch and New Blood.
Originally according to sound clips, Swan had to obtain some bolt cutters and go down to the beach to unlock a gate, along the way would try to avoid the Rogue's hearse. Several clips[1] and more cutscenes have been found recently, indicating the level was going to be before the sand brawl.
- In this event, you would've perhaps explored more of the Coney Island town unlike previous levels even the hub world.
- The Rogues were going to continue chasing you and even Luther would've revealed that they were the ones to kill Cyrus, hence why Swan asked why Luther shot Cyrus before the fight at the sand.
- Since this level took place during day time, it is unknown if you were to hide in the shadows.
- Several YouTuber modders were successful in discovered the original level area and ventured throughout[2], though a lot of the map itself looks to be unfinished.[3]
- Parts of this Coney Island Area was previously seen Flashback C, when Ajax and Snow attempted to return home but were chased down by hordes of Destroyer grunts.
