Mission walkthrough

  1. Buy Print Works and meet Kent Paul

    Purchase the business for $70,000 after assets become available. Begin its first mission, then travel to the Malibu Club for Kent Paul's lead. This visit provides the ship location; do not go searching the docks before the objective updates.

  2. Board the ship at the docks

    Follow the marked vessel and use its gangway. Bring armour and a rifle or SMG for the defenders. Move carefully around cargo and narrow walkways, where enemies can fire from above as well as from the same deck.

  3. Reach the shipping officer

    Work through the upper sections towards the officer's marker. Clear the next corner before climbing, then approach the contact to obtain the information. The goal is the conversation, so avoid turning the entire visit into a search for unrelated enemies.

  4. Return to Print Works

    Retrace a safe route off the ship and take a vehicle back to the business. Deal with immediate opposition on the way out, then leave the docks rather than remaining for another firefight. Deliver the information to unlock Hit the Courier.

Key point

Print Works is compulsory for opening the finale. Buying other profitable businesses does not replace completing these two printing missions.
