Mission walkthrough

  1. Follow the distinctive umbrella

    Keep the marked pedestrian in sight while maintaining distance. Watch his behaviour as well as the radar. The umbrella helps identify him when other pedestrians enter the area.

  2. Hide when he checks behind

    When the target stops to look around, move behind suitable cover and wait. Do not continue walking directly toward him. Resume the tail when he moves on, keeping enough room to react to another check.

  3. Complete the car interaction

    At the vehicle, follow the timed mission prompt to plant the tracker. Finish the interaction before returning to your own transport. Being near the car is not enough if the game has not confirmed the device is in place.

  4. Follow the signal to the safehouse

    The tracker updates intermittently rather than showing a constant live position. Drive toward the latest signal and keep close enough to receive the next update. Follow it until the safehouse discovery completes the mission.

Key point

A temporary gap between tracker updates is expected. Keep following the latest position instead of stopping until a permanent marker appears.
