Drive Playboy to Schottler

After the party at Elizabeta’s, Playboy X climbs into your car. The yellow blip leads across the East Borough Bridge and over Charge Island to Cassidy Street in Schottler, Broker. Playboy talks about his business the whole way, so the drive is easy. Stick to the main roads and keep from crashing, since a wreck here only costs you time. Pull up beside the run-down apartment building and get out.

Niko drives a red sports car out of South Bohan with the objective to take Playboy to the contact's apartment.

Follow Playboy to the 3rd floor

Playboy walks into the building and tells you the contact lives on the third floor. The new objective tells you to follow him, and his name shows in blue. Grab the shotgun leaning in the first hallway, since a bad meeting is coming. Climb the stairs behind him and stop when he stops, then walk into the room to start the meeting.

Fight through the apartment

The deal is a trap, and a cutscene shows undercover police closing in. When you get control back, take cover and shoot. More officers come in through the doors and through gaps in the boarded walls, so duck behind a wall or a doorway and pop out between shots. Playboy stays close and fights beside you. Use the shotgun at close range and pick up any dropped weapons.

Climb to the roof

Once the room is clear, Playboy leads you up the stairs. Police wait on the landings, so go one flight at a time and check each corner before you move. On the roof, take cover behind the stair housing while more officers arrive across the neighboring rooftops. Shoot them from behind cover, then follow Playboy to the fire escape.

Escape from the police

Algonquin opens up as soon as you reach the street. You now have two stars, and the radar flashes red and blue wherever police are close. Keep moving and shoot anyone who blocks your path. Run for your car, get in with Playboy and drive away.

Head away from the flashing blips on the radar. Once the stars start to flash, you are out of sight, so slow down and wait. If a patrol car chases you, make a couple of quick turns, using alleys and the supports under the elevated tracks to break its view.

Take Playboy home

When the stars clear, a new objective sends you to Playboy’s penthouse in Northwood, Algonquin. Drive across the Algonquin Bridge and follow the yellow route line. Stop in the marker outside his building and he steps out to end the mission. Do not leave him behind or let him get killed.

What fails this mission

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

  • Playboy is killed
  • You abandon Playboy

After the mission

You get $2,000. Algonquin, Colony Island and Happiness Island are now open, and Roman’s taxi service is back. The Combat Shotgun and the Integrity 2.0 radio station unlock, along with the Perseus and Modo clothing stores. Elizabeta phones with another job, and Deconstruction for Beginners opens next.
