Mission walkthrough

Covert: planting the bombs

Drive Michael to the FIB building and show Harvey Molina’s ID at the turnstile. Take the elevator to the 49th floor and pick up the mop and bucket from the maintenance room. Mop the red spots shown on your map in the first room and plant a bomb in the open locker. Do the same in the next room, then put the second bomb in the restroom. Return the mop and leave.

Covert: the fire crew

Michael calls Franklin, who is in the fire truck with the crew. Pick him up in Pillbox Hill and dial Detonate on your phone. The top floors go up in flames. Drive to the building and walk in as firemen.

Lester points at the planning board as the crew is told to show up as firemen.

Covert: the hard drive

You have limited oxygen from the 47th floor up, so keep moving. Follow the crew up to the 53rd floor and blow the server room door. Go to the mainframe and take the hard drive. The floor starts to collapse as you come back down. Follow Michael, and a backdraft hits one of your gunmen. A weak gunman dies here, and a skilled one is only knocked out. Help him if he’s still alive. An explosion then knocks Franklin out for a moment and FIB agents come after you, so shoot them. Run to the elevator shaft and rappel down, watching for falling objects. Leave the building, get in the fire truck, drive off and switch to your Getaway Vehicle.

Roof: the jump

Michael and Franklin drive to the NOOSE building off the Palomino Freeway, where a helicopter waits. It’s now the middle of the night. Fly Michael to the marked jump zone, then jump with the crew and land on the main section of the FIB roof. Cut the glass, go inside and blow open the server room door.

Roof: the hack

Connect your phone to the terminal and use the computer on screen. Open My Computer, then the External Device (J:), then HackConnect.exe. Pick out the four red number groups to get the IP address. Next, run BruteForce.exe and choose the red letter in each column to spell the password. Run Down&Out.exe, and the hacker takes it from there.

A desktop window lists Local (C:), FIB Network and External Device (J:), with the cursor on the device.
The connecting screen shows a red IP address at the top and four red numbers in the grid.
BruteForce runs letter columns with red letters highlighted while it searches for the password.
BruteForce reports that it has successfully acquired the password.

Roof: the download

A security team attacks while the files copy, and you hold them off as Michael or Franklin. A Buzzard destroys your helicopter, and it crashes into the building. A second team comes in with smoke, so use Michael’s ability. Don’t shoot civilians if you’re after the medal.

A masked crew member with a rifle covers a dim atrium while a prompt says to hold R to view the download.
A masked crew member covers a hallway while the subtitle says to hold off the FIB during the download.

Smoke hangs over the lobby as an armed figure moves across the far side of the room.

Roof: the way out

When the download finishes, fight down through the building with your crew. A good driver arrives on time in an Ambulance, and you can leave quietly if you haven’t drawn attention. A poor driver arrives late in a Burrito, and you’ll need to hold off the police before you can get away.

Masked crew members run down a stairwell while one of them says he hears something below.
Two masked crew members rappel down the side of a city tower at night, with the rappel controls on screen.

The ending of the raid

Before either route begins, Lester sets the garment factory alight, since it will be too dangerous to use after this.

A man in a blue jacket climbs brick steps to the double doors of the garment factory.
A man in a blue jacket stands by a black sedan beside the factory wall, with the subtitle "Get in your car."

Covert needs the mopping done inside 03:00, the shaft abseil inside 30 seconds, an escape with 40% oxygen left, and a finish inside 18:00. Roof needs a perfect landing on the main roof, the hack inside 45 seconds, no civilians killed, 20 headshots, 70% accuracy and a finish inside 19:00.
