Mission walkthrough

  1. Reach the filming locations

    Enter Melanie’s van and take her to the Legal Marine Store, then follow the next alley marker. Use the in-game throw interaction to give samples to the marked people. Ordinary weapon fire does not substitute for the requested item.

  2. Finish each marked group

    Move through the targets until the objective changes. Aim carefully enough for each delivery to register rather than repeatedly throwing at an already satisfied group. Keep track of Melanie’s position as you move.

  3. Protect the return to the van

    When the crowd becomes hostile, focus on clearing Melanie’s path back to the vehicle. Do not run far ahead and leave her surrounded. Wait for her to board before driving to South Slopes for the next filming stage.

  4. Complete the final return

    Find the remaining sample recipients, finish the deliveries and take Melanie back to The Corpse Ride. Rival gangs pursue the van, so avoid unnecessary stops and preserve the vehicle through the final approach.

Key point

When the objective changes to protecting Melanie, stop distributing samples and clear a safe route to the van.
