Mission walkthrough

  1. Find the van discreetly

    After Armored Car Clash!, take the Zaibatsu red-phone follow-up. Locate the target and observe the guard’s pickup before moving in.

  2. Steal without attacking the guard

    Wait for the required collection, then take the bank van without being spotted. Keep the guard alive; this is not a mission where clearing everyone around the vehicle is safe.

  3. Protect the van during the escape

    Drive toward the Omnitron safehouse while the Yakuza pursue. Avoid unnecessary collisions and leave room to turn away from a blocked street.

  4. Deal with the pursuers after delivery

    Deliver the van first. Once Trey changes the objective, eliminate the Yakuza who followed you and wait for the completion message.

Key point

The van delivery and the final fight are separate stages. Preserve the cash vehicle before concentrating on the attackers.
