Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the approach truck

    Take Phil to the marked truck and use it for the trip to the boatyard. Stop at the entrance as instructed before the confrontation begins.

  2. Fight through with Phil

    Clear the warehouse approach and follow him toward the water. Do not let him advance into a group while you remain behind searching for pickups. Keep the boats intact during the firefight.

  3. Escort the escape

    Board your marked boat and follow Phil. Shoot the hostile boats that threaten him while maintaining enough distance to steer safely.

  4. Land at the drop-off

    Follow Phil to the final jetty and get out of the boat when prompted. Simply arriving offshore is not the final interaction.

Key point

Phil must survive both the land assault and the boat chase. Keep watching his position instead of concentrating only on threats shooting at Niko.
