Payback walkthrough

Get the job from Jimmy

Walk into the marker at Jimmy’s house in Westdyke. Jimmy is angry at the Pavanos and says some of their men are in town to collect from an Alderney bookie ring. They’re at a diner in Acter, so go there and hit them hard. You get a new objective and a yellow marker as soon as the scene ends.

Jimmy Pegorino sits at his desk and briefs Niko on the Pavanos.
Niko stands by a black sedan with the objective to drive to the diner.

Drive to the diner

The diner is on Mueri Street in Acter. Take any car you like, or call a cab if you’d rather not drive. A fast coupe makes the next stage much easier. Stop in the yellow marker when you get there and a short scene starts. The Pavanos spot you and recognize who you work for, so they climb into a black Coquette and drive off.

Niko climbs out of a taxi on a street with a coffee shop.

A tan sedan sits with its door open on a street as a pedestrian walks past.

Your objective now says you need a vehicle. If you came by cab, take the nearest car on the street. Step into the road and pull a driver out if you have to. Pick something quick, since the Coquette is fast.

Niko drives a tan sedan past the diner with the objective to chase the Pavanos.

Chase the Pavanos

The Pavanos’ car is the red dot on the radar, and it’s the one you need to keep up with. It runs lights, cuts across lanes and makes sharp turns through alleys and side streets. Stay on its tail. The goons try to lose you, but they’re going to a set meeting point, so keep moving toward the blip.

The tan sedan takes a side street past a stone staircase.
The tan sedan passes brick buildings and broken wooden boards in an alley.

Don’t waste time shooting at the car. If you fall too far back, they escape and the mission fails. Use the roads they use, and cut through only when you’re sure of the turn. The chase finishes at the AutoEroticar showroom in Alderney City, where the Pavanos park and get out.

The tan sedan drives under an overpass near the showroom.

Wipe out the Pavanos

When the chase ends, the objective changes to wiping them out. Jump out and take cover behind your car or the pillars at the front of the showroom. There are several gunmen around the building, and a few inside among the display cars. Their blips are red. Shoot from cover, back off to reload and clear the front before you move in.

Niko pulls up to the AutoEroticar showroom with the objective to wipe the Pavanos out.
Niko steps out of the tan sedan with an SMG in front of the AutoEroticar showroom.
Niko fires an SMG from cover at gunmen among the cars inside the showroom.

The shooting draws the police fast, and your wanted level climbs. Finish the Pavanos first, since you can’t end the mission while any of them are alive. Don’t leave cover to deal with the cops until the last Pavano is down.

Niko aims over a car toward an approaching police cruiser.

Lose the cops

With the Pavanos dead, the objective is to lose your wanted level. Police cars arrive right outside the showroom, so get away before they box you in. Take one of the cars at the showroom, or a Coquette left by the Pavanos. Head out through the side streets and leave the search area. Once the stars are gone, the mission ends.

Niko climbs into a black Coquette while a police car sits nearby.
The black Coquette pulls away from traffic cones with a police car behind.
The black Coquette drives down a quiet street after the police search ends.

What fails this mission

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

  • The Pavanos get away

After the mission

You get $12,000. Jimmy calls to praise the job. Catch the Wave opens next, and it starts at Honkers in Tudor. If you have also finished Portrait of a Killer and Weekend at Florian’s, Entourage becomes available too.
