Mission walkthrough

  1. Prepare a sturdy car

    Start the payphone contract with an intact vehicle that can withstand repeated impacts. Position yourself near the marked jewellery-store pickup. A fragile, already-smoking sports car is likely to fail before the target's vehicle does.

  2. Follow her into the street

    Wait for the target to leave and begin driving. Stay close enough to hit her car, but use controlled approaches rather than long head-on runs through unrelated traffic. The mission explicitly prohibits weapons.

  3. Ram the target's vehicle

    Strike the side or rear quarter to push her into obstacles. Try not to trade every impact directly into your own engine bay. If she stops against a wall, use that opportunity for further controlled collisions while leaving yourself room to reverse out.

  4. Escape the blast

    When the target's car starts burning, move away promptly as instructed. Do not stay pressed against it or stand nearby waiting for the explosion. Let the destruction finish from a safe distance without adding gunfire.

Key point

Keep weapons out of this attempt, including drive-by fire. The mission checks the staged-accident condition, so ordinary assassination tactics can invalidate the job.

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