Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the Molotovs

    Take Tenpenny’s supplied bottles from the alley and drive to the gang house. Clear hostile gang members that prevent a safe approach to the windows.

  2. Hit the five marked windows

    Stand back from each opening and throw a Molotov through it. Move around the building to reach the remaining targets and avoid walking into your own flames.

  3. Find the extinguisher

    When Denise appears upstairs, enter through the front door and collect the fire extinguisher inside. Equip it before trying to push through the burning route.

  4. Reach Denise and guide her out

    Extinguish the flames blocking the stairs and upstairs passage. Approach Denise to start her following, then lead her back through the altered escape route. Stop to clear fires rather than leaving her behind in a blocked doorway.

  5. Drive Denise home

    Once both characters are outside, take her to the marked home in Ganton. The rescue and return trip complete the mission.

Key point

Keep the extinguisher equipped during the escape. Denise needs a usable path through the fire; simply sprinting to the front door does not complete the rescue.
