T-Bone Mendez walkthrough

T-Bone and Jizzy argue

Go to the Pleasure Domes. Jizzy is arguing with T-Bone Mendez about getting only a 20 percent cut, and he introduces CJ to T-Bone. The argument ends when T-Bone gets a phone call that something has gone wrong. Jizzy learns the shipment has been ambushed, warns T-Bone not to go alone in case it is a police trap, and sends CJ along. Watch the cutscene, then take the bike or car outside.

Ride to the van

The ambushed van is marked on the radar a short way into the city. Move quickly, since the bikers are about to pull away. Do not get a wanted level on the way. A police car always sits by the Well Stacked Pizza near the route.

Chase the bikers

When CJ arrives, the bikers have robbed the van and race away with packages on their backs. Drive up close behind a bike and press the prompted button to snatch the package. The biker then stops and fires at you, so back off and ride around the block until he climbs back on. Stay on the road and keep fast.

Three packages

There are three packages, one on each rider. The bikes are quick. Hold behind the next rider, snatch the package when the prompt shows, then move on. Kill a biker only if he blocks you. When the third package is taken, the objective changes to returning to the club.

Back to the club

Ride back to the Pleasure Domes in Battery Point, using the radar marker. Avoid traffic and do not let a package sink in water. Park at the marker outside the club to finish. Nothing else is needed, and the mission passes as soon as you get there.
