GTA 5 Cleaning Out the Bureau Walkthrough and Gold

Character: Michael, accompanied by Lester. Start: Darnell Bros. garment factory.

Cleaning Out the Bureau obtains a janitor’s uniform and access badge for the FIB operation. The gold route needs every departing vehicle’s licence plate checked and a discreet tail of Harvey Molina. Keep enough space that the janitor does not notice Michael following him.

Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. Drive Lester to the FIB garage

    Meet Lester and the agents at the garment factory, then drive to the FIB building’s parking-garage exit. Park at the surveillance position and wait for the departing cars. Skip the planning scenes on a timed attempt.

    The target is a particular employee, so do not follow the first car simply because it leaves the building.

  2. Check each licence plate

    Zoom in on the plates of the cars as they emerge. Inspect every one for Eagle Eye, including those that are not Harvey’s. Let the plate check register before shifting attention to the next vehicle.

    When the target car is identified, pull out smoothly. Starting the tail too close to its bumper can compromise the next medal condition immediately.

  3. Follow Harvey without being noticed

    Stay at least a couple of car lengths back and match the route through traffic. Let Harvey complete turns before rushing into the same junction, but keep enough visual contact to avoid losing him.

    At his apartment, park discreetly and follow on foot. Michael obtains the uniform and ID through the encounter inside. There is no need to create a street fight or damage Harvey’s car.

  4. Return to the garment factory

    Rejoin Lester in the car and return to Darnell Bros. Finish the discussion with Franklin about obtaining the building plans. The nine-minute target includes the surveillance and return trip, so keep the driving clean while preserving the plate and stealth objectives.

Gold medal checklist

  • Eagle Eye: Check every departing car’s licence plate during surveillance.
  • He Missed a Spot: Follow the janitor without being spotted.
  • Time: Complete within 9:00.

Common questions

Should I inspect only Harvey’s car?

No. Eagle Eye requires checking all the licence plates during the garage-exit sequence.

How close should I follow?

Leave at least a couple of car lengths and avoid sitting directly on the rear bumper. Maintain visual contact without crowding him.
