Mission walkthrough
-
Start with health and armour
Take El Burro’s assignment after I Scream, You Scream. Bring full health and armour before answering the phone. This is a close-range weapon challenge, so going into it injured leaves little margin when several Triads retaliate together.
-
Collect the marked flamethrower
Go to the Chinatown pickup and equip the supplied weapon. The objective requires flamethrower kills, so switching to a gun does not solve the target count. Watch the on-screen timer and move directly toward groups in the surrounding streets.
-
Use short bursts on grouped targets
Sweep the flame across Triads within range, then step back as the fire takes hold. Avoid walking into burning people or standing beside vehicles that are catching fire. Short, well-aimed bursts preserve ammunition and let you move toward the next group sooner.
-
Reach 25 before the countdown ends
Keep checking the counter and leave areas where the nearby targets have already been dealt with. Do not spend the remaining time firing at distant enemies outside the weapon’s effective reach. Move along Chinatown’s active streets until the required total has registered.
Key point
Fire continues damaging a target after the first hit. Back away from burning enemies rather than following them closely and losing your own health.
