MISSION NOTE: ACCURACY VERSUS TIME
- For better shooting accuracy, equip the Pump Action Shotgun (fully modded) for better shots.
- For shorter mission time, skip all cutscenes and use a semi-automatic rifle for faster kills. Take note that using semi-automatics will lower your shooting accuracy!
- Be aware that in most missions, you will have to sacrifice your shooting accuracy to achieve a lower mission time (and vice versa). Pick and choose which you want to accomplish and then try for the other on a Mission Replay.
PART 1: SHOPPING AND DRIVING
After the cutscene, get into the vehicle and drive over to Ammu-Nation. Purchase the Shotgun (plus the Suppressor and some Body Armor if you have the extra paper) and then exit the store and drive to the meeting place.
PART 2: ESCAPING THE BUILDING
When you arrive at the place, make your way into the building and up the stairs to trigger a small gun battle with some gangsta baddies! Get into cover and start blasting at the baddies.
When the coast is clear, follow Lamar as they try to leave the building. Keep in mind that there are enemies at every corner so take cover! When you reach the stairway, carefully navigate down and a baddie will run up and shoot you, so blast him quickly.
When you reach the first floor, take cover behind the paper stacks when needed and keep moving forward and shooting. If you take to long, the Ballas set the area on fire, so stay mobile!
Navigate your way out of the building while keeping in cover. The exit doorway will have more baddies, so shoot them down and exit outside to find a helicopter in your way. Shoot it down to clear the area and then follow Lamar to the rooftops.
PART 3: ESCAPING THE POLICE
Jump over the wall at the end of the rooftops and enter the vehicle and find a hideaway from the cops quickly! When the coast is clear, drive back to Frank's house to complete the mission.
