Mission walkthrough

  1. Arrange the correct arrest

    After Gang Car Bang!, meet the liquor contact outside the Dominatrix strip club and enter the marked Benson. Let the mission’s arrest sequence take you inside; an unrelated arrest beforehand is a failure.

  2. Find the prison contact

    Locate The Hump and collect the emergency keycard. Reach the guard room and take the uniform and S-Uzi before beginning the prison fight.

  3. Clear the guards and open the gates

    Start the riot and eliminate the eight prison guards. Use the keycard on both indicated locking mechanisms/generators, including the upstairs route, to release the gates.

  4. Jump the gap and change clothes

    The bridge remains raised. Take the Special Agent Car and use it to cross the gap, then escape to Disgracelands and reach the clothing-change destination.

Key point

Only the planned arrest advances this job. After escaping the prison, being arrested again fails the mission.
