Mission walkthrough

  1. Attend the university meeting

    Take a car to City University and sound the horn. Let the meeting begin before attacking. Shooting the Loonies too early can fail the job instead of advancing the scripted betrayal.

  2. Survive the double-cross

    When the Loonies turn hostile, defeat the attackers and read Johnny’s new instructions. Your next objective changes from collecting money to sabotaging the asylum.

  3. Prepare the required van

    Find an Ice-Cream Van and take it to a bomb shop. Keep it intact on the way to the asylum; this particular vehicle provides access for the attack.

  4. Place the bomb beside the tanks

    Drive into the asylum and position the van next to the Happy Gas tanks. Arm the bomb, leave the vehicle and move well clear before the explosion. Detonating it elsewhere wastes the mission vehicle and fails the objective.

Key point

This job is also called Destroy Happy Gas! on PlayStation. Wait for the deal to turn hostile before firing.
