Location
Purgatory, Algonquin
Reward
$200

Wade Heston’s FIB contact has been scared off, but the informant’s identity still sits in an encrypted file on the FIB mainframe. You drive to four hotspots near the FIB building and stay inside each one while the file uploads.

Before you start

Bring a quick car and know where a Pay ‘n’ Spray is, because every transfer adds a wanted star.

Objectives

  1. Head towards the FIB building.
  2. Go to the first transfer area, midway between the two hotspots.
  3. The data transfer will begin when both signal strengths are full.
  4. Stay in this area until the transfer completes.
  5. 1 of 4 transfers complete. Use the hotspots to find the next transfer area.
  6. 2 of 4 transfers complete.
  7. 3 of 4 transfers complete.
  8. You’ve received an email. Check your email now.
  9. Meet up with Heston.

Wi-Find walkthrough

Meet Heston in Purgatory

Wade’s email asks you to come to Purgatory. Find him there. He explains that Internal Affairs fingered his contact, but the informant’s ID is stored in an encrypted file on the FIB mainframe. Someone has to hack in, steal it and cover their tracks. That someone is Huang, and Heston promises it will make him look like a hero.

Find the signal

Take any car and drive toward the FIB building. The map shows two wireless points, and the upload only starts once you are exactly between them, where the signal is strongest. Stop there and wait until the file has fully downloaded.

Four transfers, rising heat

You must do this four times, in four different locations. Each hack adds a wanted star, so by the fourth you have a full set of stars.

Lose the heat

Once the last transfer ends, Wade emails to tell you to lose your wanted level before meeting him. The quickest way is a Pay ‘n’ Spray. When the stars are gone, drive back to Wade. He shows you the file, and it names two suspects, Chan and Zhou, who have each been selling the other to the FIB.

Heston bows out

Huang asks if he should whack both men, but Wade has had enough. He is giving up on his bust and plans to deal with Internal Affairs, and he tells Huang to take the file to Kenny so he can get back in with Hsin. When the conversation ends the mission is over, and Kenny sends an urgent email.

After the mission

You earn $200 and keep the encrypted file. Kenny emails right away asking you to meet him at the Libertonian, which starts Rat Race.
