Mission walkthrough

  1. Bring a four-door car

    Arrive with an intact vehicle that can carry the full crew. Drive to the hideout and sound the horn in the pickup area. Wait for the robbers to enter before following the bank marker.

  2. Position the getaway vehicle

    At the bank, leave the car pointed towards a clean escape route. Let the crew carry out the robbery and remain ready to collect them. Do not move so far away that they have to cross a large stretch of road under fire.

  3. Escape with the crew

    Once the robbers are back inside, accelerate away from the police response. Keep the vehicle upright and avoid becoming boxed in at junctions. The crew's survival affects how well the job ends, so do not abandon passengers to save a few seconds.

  4. Lose the police and return

    Use Pay 'n' Spray in a suitable civilian car to clear the wanted level, then deliver the crew to the hideout. Follow any remaining wanted-level instruction before trying to finish at the destination marker.

Key point

This is Joey's final missable job. Complete it before Salvatore's Last Requests to preserve all Portland contact missions on your save.
