Mission walkthrough
-
Get to North Point Mall quickly
Start at the Vercetti Estate and use a fast car for the trip north. The countdown covers the operation, so do not spend the opening minutes finding supplies. Bring a firearm that can break several panes quickly.
-
Work through the marked storefronts
Enter the mall and follow the target blips. Shoot the marked glass panels and check that their blips disappear. Some storefronts have more than one relevant pane; a visibly damaged shop is not necessarily finished.
-
Clear both levels methodically
Complete a cluster of nearby targets before changing floors. Use the stairs or escalators to reach the upper shops, then check the radar for leftovers. Running back and forth between the same two floors wastes the limited time.
-
Finish the remaining glass
The mission completes when the last required window is broken. Avoid stopping to fight every officer who arrives. Afterwards, businesses become purchasable, but buying one alone does not complete its asset requirements.
Key point
If only one marker remains, check its floor and the individual window panels. The objective is property damage to specified shops, not killing the occupants.
