Call and Collect walkthrough

Go to the viewpoint

After Francis explains the job at the Poop Deck, head for the viewpoint off Union Drive East. It is a yellow blip on the radar, and a short drive from the restaurant. Grab a car or flag a taxi. Park near the park entrance and walk up the steps to the overlook above the riverside promenade.

Niko drives off in a red convertible from the waterfront promenade at the Poop Deck.

Call the blackmailer

Francis texts you the blackmailer’s number as soon as you arrive. The objective changes to calling the blackmailer’s cell and looking for whoever answers. Open your phone, pick the new contact and dial. Don’t walk down into the crowd yet. Stay on the overlook, where you can see most of the promenade at once.

Niko dials the blackmailer's number with the objective to call the blackmailer's cell on screen.

Spot him in the crowd

While you talk, scan the park for someone holding a phone to his ear. The park is busy, so most people are just sitting or strolling. Look for the one whose lips move as yours do. His voice also seems to echo near you when he is close, and you can hear his ringtone in the park. You may need to call twice. He starts to leave once the second call ends.

Niko listens on the phone while looking down at people scattered around the promenade.

Take him down

When you’re sure, take him out before he gets away. He runs along the promenade, so a rifle from the overlook is the easy answer. Killing him on foot at close range works too. Don’t shoot a bystander, because that only brings the police. Once he drops, a storage device is left behind. Pick it up.

Niko aims a sniper rifle across the water with the objective to pick up the storage device.

Niko aims a rifle over the park lawn toward the promenade with the objective to pick up the storage device.

Lose the police and deliver the photos

Killing him in public earns you a two-star wanted level, so the objective changes to losing it. Run out of the park, break the line of sight, and take a car if you can. Once the stars are gone, take the photos to Francis in East Holland. Drive carefully, and don’t pick fights on the way.

Niko climbs stone steps with the objective to lose your wanted level.

After the mission
