Jamaican Heat walkthrough

Pick up Little Jacob

Roman is busy with calls when you walk into the depot, so the chat is short. He asks you to pick up his friend Little Jacob on Oneida Avenue in South Slopes. Get in Roman’s cab and follow the blue blip. It is night, so the streets are dark and fairly empty. Pull up beside Jacob and he gets into the car.

Roman's cab sits with its door open at night and the objective to go and pick up Little Jacob on screen.
The cab drives down a dark street under an elevated track with two other cars passing.

Drive to Schottler

Jacob says he needs someone to watch his back at a meeting, and he has heard from Roman that you know weapons. Follow the yellow route toward Schottler, on the western side of Broker. Jacob talks the whole way, and you can listen or ignore him. Keep the cab in one piece, since you have to drive it again at the end.

The cab drives past a park at night with the objective to go to Schottler.
The cab drives along a lit street toward downtown at night with the objective still on screen.
The cab drives along Boone Street while Little Jacob explains the meeting spot in a subtitle.

Go to the lookout spot

The meeting spot is an alley off Dillon Street. Park at the mouth of the alley and let the scene play. Jacob hands you a pistol with 150 rounds and says to keep it. The game explains that weapons you pick up go into your inventory. Walk up the alley to the spot Jacob points out, behind a low wall of bricks. Crouch there so you stay out of sight and steady your aim.

The cab stops in a back alley and a message says you have been given a pistol.
Niko walks up a dark alley as Jacob tells him there is a spot up ahead to watch from.
Niko crouches with the pistol raised beside a brick wall with a help message about staying out of sight.

Wait for Little Jacob

The objective says to wait for Jacob to get into position, so stay put behind the bricks. Jacob walks into the alley and three men show up where he expected only one. He is surprised, and shots come soon after. They have not spotted you yet, so use that to pick your first target.

Niko crouches behind a wall of bricks in the alley with the objective to wait for Little Jacob to get into position.
Little Jacob stands at the alley mouth as a man in red waits on the stairs beyond him.

Shoot the gang members

Raise the pistol and aim at the nearest gunman. The Hillside Posse men move around the boxes and bins, so wait for a clear shot and fire in short bursts. Duck down behind the bricks when your ammo runs low. When the magazine empties, the game shows you how to reload. Keep them in front of you and stay behind cover.

Niko aims at a gunman in the alley with a help message about aiming and firing.
Niko moves along the side of the alley beside a wooden fence with a help message about aiming at enemies.
Niko stands by a fence in the dark alley with a help message about reloading.

When all three men are down, Jacob warns you that another man is still around. A gunman waits above the alley, on a roof or at a high window. Look for the red target icon, which shows his height with an arrow. Aim up and fire until he drops. A bit of body armor makes this fight much easier if you have some.

Niko aims the pistol at a gunman on a rooftop marked by a red target icon.
Niko aims at a rooftop with a subtitle from Jacob while a help message tells him he can stand up.

Drive Jacob to the cafe

When the alley is quiet, walk back to the cab and get in. Jacob joins you. The objective is the Homebrew Cafe on Tutelo Avenue in Beechwood City, marked by a yellow blip. Drive carefully, because Jacob dying fails the mission. Stop in the marker outside the cafe. Jacob thanks you and tells you that the pistol is yours to keep.

Niko walks down the alley with the objective to get Little Jacob back to the cafe.
The cab drives out of the alley with its headlights lighting the walls.
The cab stops on a street where Jacob thanks Niko and tells him to keep the pistol.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • Little Jacob dies

After the mission

The mission pays $150, and you keep the pistol that Jacob gave you. Jacob gives you his number, and Roman tells you that you are part of the family business now. Taxi Driver is open, and Concrete Jungle can be started when you are ready.

The cab sits at the curb outside the cafe with the new cash total shown at the top right.
The cab drives down a street at night with the phone open on a call from Roman.
