Mission walkthrough

  1. Bring Packie and Gracie to the exchange

    Meet Packie’s car in Northwood and drive to the Charge Island Sewage Works. Trigger the meeting and wait for the story scene to finish.

  2. Fight across the works

    Use the industrial structures as cover against Bulgarin’s men. Move with Packie toward the walkway, checking both the level ahead and enemies firing from adjacent platforms.

  3. Clear the reinforcements

    Hold a protected position when new attackers arrive. Finish the remaining marked men and follow Packie out after the diamond scene.

  4. Take Packie home

    Find transport for both of you and return to his mother’s house in Dukes. The lost diamonds are part of the story; there is no pickup you missed that reverses the outcome.

Key point

Stay with Packie during the platform fight. The mission is completed by surviving and returning him home, not by recovering the diamonds after the scripted loss.
