Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the sniper rifle

    Begin at the airport payphone and pick up the nearby rifle. Find the woman on the balcony and watch her route. Stay far enough away to respect the distance indicator rather than running alongside her.

  2. Wait for the identification

    Let her walk down the escalators and speak to the contact. Do not shoot before the conversation has finished, and do not kill the woman. The meeting reveals the correct target; guessing at a nearby pedestrian risks failing the contract.

  3. Eliminate the man and collect his case

    Take a controlled shot once the objective allows it. Approach the dropped briefcase and collect it, dealing with immediate threats only as necessary. The package is essential to the second half of the mission.

  4. Deliver it to Downtown Ammu-Nation

    Leave the airport in a working vehicle and head to the marked gun shop. Expect opposition on the road, so keep moving and avoid becoming pinned between pursuing cars. Reach the delivery marker with the briefcase to finish.

Key point

The observation stage has two separate rules: keep your distance and wait for the conversation to end. Completing the kill early is not a shortcut.

This mission is optional for reaching the ending, but required for 100% game completion.
