Mission walkthrough

  1. Take Smoke to the meeting

    Enter his car and follow the destination marker. If CJ has no firearm, collect a weapon before starting the confrontation so you are not dependent on catching the runner in melee range.

  2. Follow the runner immediately

    When the meeting breaks up, sprint after the marked gang member. Use the gaps and turns in his route instead of taking a wide road detour. Keep enough room to clear obstacles without repeatedly colliding with fences.

  3. Finish the target

    When you have a clear view, stop briefly to aim and shoot. Repeatedly firing while an obstacle blocks the target wastes ammunition and lets him extend the gap. The mission ends when the required runner is eliminated.

Key point

Prioritise the fleeing marked enemy. Big Smoke falling behind is not an instruction to stop the chase and wait for him.
