- Mission contact
- Roman Bellic
- Starting location
- Express Car Service, Hove Beach, Broker

Mission walkthrough
-
Leave the bar quickly
Bring Roman to Comrades and watch the confrontation. Vlad escapes through the back while his men delay you. Deal with the immediate resistance, then get back to your vehicle with Roman.
-
Follow Vlad to the river
Track Vlad’s car through the streets. It cannot be destroyed during this chase, so firing at it wastes ammunition and distracts from the route. Keep close enough to see where he turns.
-
Complete the waterfront confrontation
After Vlad crashes, get out and follow him on foot. Approach the marked confrontation and use the prompted execution control. Allow the closing conversation with Roman to finish.
Key point
Vlad’s fate is fixed in this story mission. Unlike the Ivan encounter, there is no spare option that continues the same mission with Vlad alive.
