Mission walkthrough

  1. Approach the collection point

    Travel to the marked Chinatown alley with armour and ammunition if available. Park near the entrance facing outwards. Walking in with a clear escape route is safer than wedging a car deep inside the narrow space.

  2. Take the money and react to the ambush

    Collect the marked cash. The attack closes around Claude, so move towards a position where enemies cannot surround him from every side. Use a firearm to remove the nearest threat rather than standing still in the middle of the alley.

  3. Finish the required attackers

    Track the remaining enemy markers, including any opponent who tries to escape in a vehicle. Do not leave simply because the first group is down. Keep the money with you and clear the mission's marked opposition.

  4. Return to Toni

    Once the objective changes to delivery, get back into transport and drive to Momma's restaurant. There is no need to keep fighting unmarked gang members around Chinatown. Reach the restaurant marker to hand over the cash.

Key point

Collecting the money starts the dangerous part rather than ending the job. Leave yourself space to move before triggering the ambush.
