Wade Heston wants his drug dealer gone, along with the evidence the dealer is holding over him. You fit a bomb to a fast car, tail the dealer to his warehouse in Northwood and blow the place up.

  2. There’s a garage nearby where you can get a bomb fitted. Take the car there.
  3. Drive the car into the garage.
  4. Stake out Heston’s dealer at the bar.
  5. There goes Heston’s dealer now. Looks like he’s in a hurry.
  6. Park outside the warehouse before IAD arrives.
  7. Get out of the car.
  8. Get a safe distance away.

Operation Northwood walkthrough

Heston’s problem

Heston is trying to kick his habit before Internal Affairs catches him, but his dealer holds evidence against him and threatens to hand it over unless he keeps buying. Huang offers to find the dealer and make sure the evidence goes with him.

A bomb for the car

A Banshee is parked outside the apartment, so take it and drive to the Bomb Garage in North Holland. Drive in and complete the touchscreen minigame to fit a bomb to the car. Then follow the new GPS marker to wait for the dealer.

Tail the dealer

The dealer gets into a Sabre GT and drives recklessly around Algonquin. Follow him but do not get too close, because he shoots at you. There is no need to fight back, and destroying his car fails the mission. If he drives out of sight, follow the tire marks he leaves behind.

Blow up the warehouse

The dealer stops at his warehouse in Northwood, Rusty Schit Salvage. Drive the bombed car to the waypoint between a couple of gas tanks, get out and run clear. The bomb goes off once you are far enough away and takes the warehouse and the dealer with it.

What fails this mission

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

  • The dealer escapes
  • The dealer’s car is destroyed before the chase ends
  • You trigger the bomb too close to it
