Main thing in 'Catalyst' is to steal some crates filled with weapons (guns) from a ammunition train. Watch out as other gangs will also be looking for same train.

Catalyst: Summary (WIKI)
After being told by Police officer Frank Tenpenny about a train carrying weapons, guns, ammunition, etc, you immediately go the spot where train is. It's some kinda military train and so rob minimum 10 crates full with weapons. First, in Catalyst, drive to the spot. There, 4 men of Los Santos Vagos gang are already fighting with your Grove Street men for taking control of situation. Kill all the 4 Vagos gangsters. The moment you kill them four Ballas Gang members will arrive in a car. Shoot and kill all with your gun. After killing all gangsters, climb on back of train. Train starts moving with you alone on train. Ryder and your homies will follow you in a truck and what you need to do in this mission now is that you have to throw the 10 wooden crates (filled with weapons) from train into the truck within 90 seconds. For throwing, carefully follow the on-screen instructions which will teach you the proper throwing of crates. Once you have 10 crates, get back into your truck and rush back to Grove Street. You have now 3-star wanted level. So, you can get rid of this 3-star wanted level by going to near Pay 'n' Spray Shop and getting a paint job done. Look for the shop on your map. And after this, get back to your house and MISSION IS COMPLETE!

Catalyst Walkthrough and Details
This 'catalyst' mission can be played from Ryder's house after completing 'Home Invasion' of GTA San Andreas. To start Catalyst, walk into red marker in front of Ryder's house between 12:00 o'clock and 20:00 o'clock of game time.
Ryder's house is marked on your map or mini-map with a "R" icon.

Frank Tenpenny informing about ammunition train

"Catalyst" starts with a cutscene wherein Ryder a is cooking something (possibly a drug) when Carl Johnson (CJ) enters. Within seconds, police officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski also enter. Tenpenny informs that a train carrying ammunition is having an unscheduled stop and something useful (weapons) is there on train. After this, you and Ryder decide to go for robbing train in his truck. Also Tenpenny tells you to not kill any more police officers. During Catalyst, Pulaski tells that crime has gone up since Carl has stepped in this city.

You're back in game. Drive Ryder's truck to the spot where train has stopped and this will be marked on you map. There you will find four Vagos gangsters fighting with you Grove Street homies. Kill all those four Vagos. Then a four Ballas gangsters also arrive in car. Put down all those four gangsters. After killing total eight gangsters, climb on train from back side for stealing the crates of ammunition. The train starts moving when you climb on it. So, you now need to throw 10 crates from running train into the truck in which Ryder is following within 90 seconds or 1:30 minutes. On PC, aim for the truck and power your throw by pressing LMB (Left Mouse Button) and release LMB to throw. On PS2, you can press L1 for powering your throw and release it to throw crates. While on Xbox, you can use "L" for powering throw and realease to throw the crate.  Throwing properly will land the crates in truck or otherwise  crates will fall on ground. If time runs out then you fail this mission and so you will have to play whole mission again.

After putting 10 crates in truck, you will gain 3-star wanted level with police cars and helicopters following you. Therefore, rush to the nearest Pay 'n' Spray shop in Idlewood for paint-job which will cost you $100 and hence to get rid of the cops. For nearest Pay 'n' Spray shop look for its icon on your map. After getting rid of wanted level, head back to Ryder's house or home in Grove Street to complete.

Home Invasion

I've discussed in depth details of the challenge below. But I will summarize this in short.

Home Invasion : Summary (WIKI)

It can only be played between time 12:00 and 20:00. Once you start it, after a small cut scene, you have to drive along with Ryder to a army officer's (Colonel Fuhrberger) house. Then you have to steal minimum 3 crates full with guns out of total 6 crates.

While stealing crates, Ryder will wait outside the house for you to keep a watch. At time of burglary, keep track of your noise level with help of a noise-bar shown on your screen.  If the noise bar becomes full then officer(Colonel Fuhrberger) will wake up and if this happens two times then army officer will call police and you will fail this mission. The moment you enter, you can find 1st crate kept on right hand side corner. Again, on right hand side, when  you enter, there is a room and second crate is kept inside there.

Third crate, with which you can now complete your task, is kept on the first floor. After keeping 3 crates in your vehicle, drive it to a lockup or garage. Now, follow the on-screen instructions and your "Home Invasion" mission is successfully complete. Don't forget that you have to complete this whole thing in 8 minutes or 8 game hours.




Step by Step Walkthrough 

Let us look in exhaustive detail about Home Invasion mission given by Ryder from his house in Grove Street of Los Santos of San Andreas. You can play it by walking into the red marker in front of Ryder's house which is located on your map in form of "R" icon. In cut scene of Home Invasion that starts, Ryder tell Carl Johnson (CJ) about a army officer having the latest and better guns that they need. Ryder also says that this info has been given by a friend named LB.

Army Officer

After speaking, both decide to steal those guns when it gets dark and when the officer Colonel Fuhrberger is sleeping in bed. Thus, when game starts, it's dark and time is automatically set to 22:00.

Now, you're back and sitting in a black boxville vehicle which is to be used for doing burglary at the officer's house near East Beach. Also, a countdown timer starts, on the near-top right hand side of your screen with a total of 8 minutes in which you have to do all along with drive to and fro plus stealing the crates full with guns. Look for your destination in the video game mini-map and reach there as fast as you can. There stop in red marker to start another small cut-scene in which Ryder will tell you to go inside the house and steal while he will keep a watch.

Now, get inside the house and follow the on-screen instructions, during the Home Invasion, in which you will  be taught about how to steal or perform burglary in house. Look carefully at those instructions. It tells you to sneak and avoid too much noise otherwise the officer will wake up. If the noise bar on your screen reaches maximum then inhabitants of house will wake up. Now, you have to look for crates.

There are a total 6 crates in house and you have to steal minimum 3.

• You can find 1st crate on right hand side of the entrance of house
• 2nd in a room at right hand side when you enter
• 3rd on the hallway of first floor
• 4rth crate is at the end of same hallway
• 5th and 6th crates are kept in room of army officer which is at the end of hallway of first floor of house.

Andreas

Don't steal all the crates as the time is less plus you need to drop the crates in garage of LB in remaining time.
Steal 3 crates and drop those in lockup of LB's garage which is located near East Beach. It will be shown on your mini-map. After dropping, your Home Invasion Mission is complete!

MISSION COMPLETE!
RESPECT +


Go to nearest saving point and save your game. Also, the "Catalyst" of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is unlocked.

Cheat which would help in Home Invasion:


As this challenge involves no shooting, no fighting so cheats of health and ammunition are useless. However, this involves driving Black color Boxville vehicle. So, if that vehicle is in bad condition then you can repair it with Grand Theft Auto cheat HESOYAM without going to garage.


Points to note:

• There is time limit of 8 minutes. And you need to do everything within this time.
• While performing burglary, don't make too much noise. Avoid noise by sneaking. 
• If you make too much noise and the noise bar becomes full then army officer (Colonel Fuhrberger) will wake up and then he will think that he is in dream. So, he won't do anything. But if the noise bar becomes full second time then he will wake up and call police.

He is angry and wants to teach a lesson to that pizza shop owner. CJ accompanies him to the shop. Before going to shop, you have to drive to a barber's shop and get a hair cut done.

Stop the car on red marker and get into the barber's shop. Into the shop again walk into the red marker and get a hair cut done. You will get a choices of hair styles.
