Mission walkthrough

  1. Obtain the taxi

    Take a Taxi Xpress in good condition. The passengers and vehicle must survive the collection route, so avoid unnecessary damage or gunfire around the pickup points.

  2. Collect the first two passengers

    Visit the Clock Tower, then the motel in Belmont. Stop close to each contact and wait for him to board before following the next marker.

  3. Finish the collection route

    Pick up the third operative at the Morton hospital and the fourth outside Alma Mater Prison. Do not replace the taxi or abandon anyone between stops.

  4. Use the dockside crane

    Bring the occupied taxi to the marked southeast dock crane at the research centre. Park in its pickup position, get out and let the crane drop the car into the water.

Key point

Use the mission’s dock crane, not the nearby car crusher. The required disposal method is part of the objective.
