New Blood
This side of Coney Island is all Warriors turf, the east side ain't, but we'll get into that later. Right now, we're gonna need some cash to get you fixed up. The way a Warrior makes his bread is by mugging, stealing car radios and doin' smash an' grabs. I wanna see if you can handle this Rembrandt, you dig?
~ Vermin to Rembrandt

New Blood is the first mission of The Warriors video game. The level follows street artist Rembrandt as he completes his initiation into The Warriors.

Gangs[]

Summary[]

  • If you wanna get up with the Warriors, you gotta learn how to hold your own.
  • Now that you're a Warrior, you gotta be able to survive on the streets. You're gonna learn how to earn bread in the big city.
  • Now that you got some cash, Vermin's gonna show you where to get fixed up.

Story[]

  • Date: April 13, 1979
  • Time: 8:00 pm
  • Place: Coney Island
  • Days until meeting: 90

The level begins with a flashback to the meeting. Cyrus, the head of the Gramercy Riffs, explains to a large crowd how New York City's gangs outnumber the police 60,000 to 20,000. This incites a large cheer from the crowd, but Cyrus is then shot by Luther, the leader of the Rogues.

The level then moves to three months earlier; Cleon, the leader of The Warriors, along with Vermin meet up with Rembrandt, a street artist looking to join the gang. Cleon and Vermin lead Rembrandt to the fight pen near The Warriors' hangout. Rembrandt battles a local vagrant named Rudy, before fighting a number of other local hobos. After beating the homeless, Rembrandt must hold his own against several Warriors, before he is able to join the gang.

After Rembrandt completes his initiation, he tries on his vest, changes into clean pants, and revisits Cleon and Vermin. Because Rembrandt looks injured from his earlier brawls, Cleon orders Vermin to take him to find some flash. On the streets of Coney Island, Vermin shows Rembrandt the basic ways to earn money: stealing from shops, stealing car radios, and mugging civilians. After this, Vermin leads Rembrandt to a nearby flash dealer; Rembrandt purchases some flash from the dealer, before he and Vermin head back to the hangout to see Cleon.

Walkthrough[]

  • Characters: P1-Rembrandt P2-Ash
  • High Score: 5000
  • Soldiers: 1

(A) Just follow all the on screen help for now, since you can only do that anyway. Once you start to bop against the bums, hurt them more than necessary to get some extra points. Once the Warriors come after you; defend yourself for about a minute then you'll be, a Warrior.

(B) Break into the store in front of you. Just attack the glass door. Then do the same thing for the display cases. Take the merchandise by pressing the Y button. Next break the window of the car. After that's done, press Y to start stealing the radio. Rotate the Left Stick in a counter clockwise direction to steal the radio. Now, run up to the guy on the phone and mug him. To do this, press the B button and then the Y button. After you start to mug him, move the Left Stick until you find vibration. Keep it on the vibration until your done mugging.

(C) Follow Vermin, just do what the on screen help says. Once Vermin says to "break down that old fence", hold the L Trigger and press A while running at the fence to break through. On the other side of the fence is the flash dealer. Buy some flash for $20 and press Left on the DPAD to use it. Flash will heal you throughout your time in the game.

Script[]

(There are a large number of gang members at a stadium in Van Courtlandt Park. They are at a meeting held by the Riffs. The Riffs' leader, Cyrus, enters the stadium. All the gangs are now in silence when he starts talking.)

Cyrus: Can you count, suckers? I say the future is ours... if you can count. We've got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street Boys. We've got the Moonrunners, right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. You're standing right now with 9 delegates from a hundred gangs, and there's over a hundred more. (standing on a platform above the ground) 60,000 soldiers. Now there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT?!

(All the gangs cheer. Luther, the leader of a gang called the Rogues, is given a gun and shoots Cyrus, making him fall off the platform.)

Coney Island, 8:00 pm, April 13, 1979, 3 months earlier.

(Cleon is standing outside the Warriors' hangout. Vermin is playing on a pinball machine inside the hangout.)

Cleon: Vermin.

Vermin: What's up, Warchief?

(Vermin loses the ball and hits the pinball machine in anger.)

Cleon: Let's get goin'. We gotta meet up with the new blood. He's waitin' for us in the alley.

Vermin: Alright! Let's go. (walking through the alley behind the hangout with Cleon) So he's got skills?

Cleon: He's a born writer, man. He'll get us up.

Vermin: Yeah, but can he brawl? Don't matter how much talent he's got if he gets wrecked.

Cleon: That's what we're about to find out. (to Rembrandt) Let's go, little man. You can finish that burner later. Right now, we gotta see if you can bop. (get to the top of a hut in the Warriors' fight pen) Listen Rembrandt, you're here cause you can lay a mean mark, but gettin' up in this city only gets you street cred. What makes a gang's rep heavy is how many suckas you can wreck. You ready to test your skills?

Rembrandt: Let's do it. I'm ready.

(Vermin and Terrance push Rembrandt down into the pen, and Rembrandt begins.)

Cleon: Alright Rembrandt, some of our neighbours came by to help us out. I promised 'em some liquor, so they're gonna let you beat up on 'em for a bit. Rudy, get in there first, let's see what kind of punch our writer's packin'.

(A bum named Rudy enters the pen.)

Rudy: C'mon youngbuck, I'd like to see you do me in. (Laughs)

Peaches: Do it, Rude! All for your booze!

(Rembrandt begins to his strength at Rudy.)

Stinky: Yeah, Rudy! Go for it!

Rusty: Look at 'em takin' dude from his own misses! (Laughs)

Vermin: This kid's learned quick. He's got some move.

Stinky: Come on, mugger. Hang in there, we're gettin' you a free hoods!

Rudy: I'm stupid. I've got dignity, see?

Cleon: Not bad, but you like to mix it out there if you want stay on your feet.

(Rembrandt begins to his strength at Rudy, who coughs after being beaten.)

Vermin: Keep workin' it, Rembrandt. Don't stop.

Cleon: I wanna see somethin' heavy, Rembrandt. Show me some force.

Rusty: Don't lose those teeth, be the keep the trouble goes strong. Bruises ain't no way to drink with Rudy.

Rudy: Is it done yet? I want my booze, my tiny bubbles.

(Rembrandt beats up Rudy.)

Cleon: That's what I like to see, Rembrandt. Rudy's had enough, get him outta here an' give him his booze. (Rudy was taken out of the pen) The rest of you bums get in here. You want your booze, you gotta work for it! (Four bums enter the pen) Bangin' with us ain't no typical street fight, Rembrandt. It's gonna get crazy out there, so you gotta use your head or it's gonna get stomped. Always keep your space, watch your back, and make the most out of every opportunity.

Rudy: I got it now, my tiny bubbles. It's a good stuff. (Rembrandt watch his back by snap attack) That's right! Smack 'em around like you did to me! Watch your back boys! (Laughs)

Cleon: You wanna clear some space? Let's tossle 'em around a bit.

(Rembrandt throws the bums.)

Rudy: Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! (Laughs) That's me!

Cleon: Alright, next up: weapons. If you ain't packin', then you gotta be resourceful out there. Try it out little man.

(Cleon drops some baseball bats into the pen, Rembrandt uses one of those.)

Rudy: It's all those faces nice, suckers! (Laughs) That's enough, bro? What you gonna buy 'em up? (Laughs) You're crapped.

Cleon: Hold on a minute. How you feelin' man? You're gettin' angry yet? Sometimes things gets so crazy or you're gotta go on his rage. It won't last long, so make the most of it. (Rembrandt tests his rage skills) The boy can flex! Now let's see you waste these bums.

West: Come on, Rembrandt! Show 'em how to roll!

Vermin: You got it, Rembrandt. Keep it up!

(Rembrandt wastes the bums.)

Cleon: Alright, it looks like you can handle yourself toe to toe. That'll only get you so far, my brotha. If you wanna brawl with the Warriors, you gotta know how to rumble. Let's give the writer a real test. (Rembrandt fights the Warrior New Bloods in desperate) ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH! Looks like you can handle yourself out there, youngblood. Let's go try on your new colors.

(Later, Cleon and Vermin enters the Warriors' hangout. Rembrandt enters, wearing his vest. He looks a bit beaten up.)

Rembrandt: Hey, how do I look?

(Vermin laughs.)

Cleon: The vest is lookin' fine but you're looking a little banged up, young blood. Hey Vermin, why don't you take Rembrandt out an' grab some flash?

Rembrandt: I'm okay, really Warlord, I'm fine...

Vermin: C'mon Rembrandt, let's break in those colors. I know a guy that'll fix you up. (head out with Rembrandt, then walking through the streets of Coney) This side of Coney Island is all Warriors turf, the east side ain't, but we'll get into that later. Right now, we're gonna need some cash to get you fixed up. The way a Warrior makes his bread is by mugging, stealing car radios and doin' smash an' grabs. I wanna see if you can handle this Rembrandt, you dig?

Rembrandt: I dig.

Vermin: Alright, smash your way into that store an' take whatever you can find. Let's see little man, just ask me if you need any help. (Rembrandt does smash and grabs) Not bad, but let's see if you can remove some car radios. (Rembrandt steals the car radio) Good. Now you see that guy over there? I want you to mug that sucker.

(Rembrandt begins to mug the unnamed pedestrian.)

Rembrandt: What do you got for me?

Unnamed Pedestrian: You put me on, right? (mugged) Man, I want that fair square!

Rembrandt: Alright, I'm finished,

Vermin: Alright, let's keep goin'.

(Rembrandt approaches Vermin.)

Rembrandt: Hey Vermin, I got everything you said.

Vermin: Holy shit that's a heavy score, you got some pretty slick skills kid.

Rembrandt: Haha. Thanks man... Hey we gonna go see that dealer now or what?

Vermin: Look at you takin' charge! C'mon, follow my lead. Come on, Rembrandt, you gotta keep up. (climbs the vences) You ready? Let's move. (Rembrandt climbs the vences) Lookin' good so far, kid. Keep it up. Come on, man. Let's roll. (climbs to the roof with Rembrandt follows) See that window? Jump on through it. Trust me. (Rembrandt jump on the window and follows) Come on, man. We're almost there, you can make it. (Rembrandt follows) You're doin' great, come on! (approaches the fence) Almost there. Just push that little fence.

(Rembrandt push the fence and approaches Cody, a flash dealer.)

Cody: You lookin' to dose?

Vermin: Here we are, let's go talk to him.

Cody: It's F, man! The flash that don't bring no crash, guaranteed! (Rembrandt buys the flash) You're gonna be a machine tonight, yeah!

Vermin: Don't be pushy, Rembrandt! Just take that shit.

(Rembrandt used the flash heal himself.)

Vermin: See, you're feelin' better already. Let's get back to the hangout an' see what Cleon's up to.
