Complications begins as another vehicle repossession, but the main obstacle is reaching the SUV without alerting the household. A clean route through the garden and upstairs window saves time; the final fight then requires patience rather than careless button-mashing.
Step-by-step walkthrough
-
Enter the grounds and deal with the gardener
Speak to Simeon outside the dealership and drive to the marked house in Rockford Hills. Climb the gate into the grounds. Enter stealth mode, approach the gardener from behind and perform an unarmed stealth takedown. Sneaking past him can advance the mission, but will miss the Dirt Nap medal objective.

Reach the upstairs window
The garage cannot be opened from your initial approach. Move to the parked work vehicle beside the house, climb onto it and use it to reach the low roof. Enter through the open bathroom window. This is the route into the house; do not keep searching the main doors for another interaction.
-
Find the garage from inside
Remain in stealth mode and leave the bathroom. Go downstairs, then turn left towards the kitchen corridor. Before entering the kitchen, use the partly open door on the left to reach the garage. Avoid approaching the residents or stopping to explore other rooms. Get into the SUV and leave the property.
-
Return to the dealership
Follow the route back while Michael confronts Franklin from the rear seat. His appearance is part of the mission, not a sign that your infiltration failed. At the dealership, line up with the showroom window and accelerate through it when instructed.
-
Win Michael's fight
Once control switches to Michael, focus on Simeon and use the dodge control when he attacks. Follow a successful dodge with a short counterattack. Keep the fight controlled: the gold condition is taking no damage during this encounter, so a single successful hit against Michael matters even if you win easily.

Gold medal checklist
- Time Complete the mission within five minutes.
- Can't Touch This Finish the fight with Simeon without taking damage.
- Dirt Nap Use a stealth takedown on the gardener.
Troubleshooting
If the garage seems inaccessible, use the upstairs entry route. For a timed replay, skip cutscenes and go straight from the gardener to the climbing point; detours inside the house consume time without helping any objective.
