The Pick-Up walkthrough

Toni’s note

Toni is not at his table. His mother shouts from inside that he is off making people bleed, or trying to, and will never be as tough as his father, but he left you a note. The note tells you to collect the cash and bring it back, to watch out for the Triads, and to take no nonsense from them.

Drive to the laundrette

Arm yourself before you go. A pistol is enough, an Uzi is better. Drive west to Chinatown and follow the blip into the alley behind Mr Wong’s Laundrette. Park at the mouth of the alley, because you will want a car waiting when you come back out.

The trap

As soon as you grab the briefcase, the objective changes: it’s a trap, waste them all. Triads come at you from both ends of the alley and from the doors. Stay near a corner so they reach you one at a time, lock on and keep shooting. Pick up dropped weapons if your ammo runs low.

Back to Toni’s

When the last ambusher falls, the objective tells you to get the cash back to Toni’s. Get back in your car and drive east to Momma’s Restaurante in Saint Mark’s. Stop in the marker to finish.
