Mission walkthrough

  1. Drive to the supposed pickup

    Take the Kaufman cab to the marked meeting point and sound the horn. The expected fare is a setup. Position the car with room to accelerate before the rival taxis begin their attack.

  2. Survive the countdown

    Drive broad loops around the open yard and let the attackers collide with each other. Avoid the corners, where several taxis can pin your car against a wall. Change direction only when there is a clear opening, not when the whole pack is beside you.

  3. Keep the cab away from chain explosions

    If another taxi starts burning, steer away rather than using it as a barrier. An explosion can cripple an otherwise healthy car. Focus on surviving the full timer instead of trying to destroy every attacker immediately.

  4. Defeat the leader

    Once the Zebra Cab appears, follow the new target and damage it from a position where you can still escape a collision. Finish the leader when the opportunity appears. Winning completes the Kaufman asset and unlocks the Zebra Cab at the business.

Key point

The first stage is a survival test. Do not spend the whole countdown stationary, trading impacts with five cars at once.
