Smackdown walkthrough

Take a police car

Derrick is too drunk to explain much, but the job is clear. Cross the street from the park to the Acter police station, where a few police cars sit outside. Walk up to one and take it. The computer inside is what you need for the next step.

Niko walks along a park path with the objective to find a cop car.
Niko stands at the door of an LCPD cruiser.

Look up Bucky

Use the police computer in the car. Type in Bucky Sligo, or just Bucky, and the screen shows his name, a photo and his hangout. The location is a Burger Shot in Westdyke, in northern Alderney. Choose the locate option, and the spot is added to your radar.

Drive to Burger Shot

Drive the police car to Westdyke. Niko calls Derrick on the way. Derrick tells you to stay in the cruiser, because Bucky will see it and run for home, and that is where his crew is waiting. Stick to normal driving to keep the cruiser in one piece. When you pull up at the Burger Shot, the siren goes on and Bucky bolts.

The police car stops outside Burger Shot with skid marks on the lot.

Follow Bucky home

Follow Bucky through the back streets of Westdyke. He drives away fast, but he only wants to reach his house on Cariboo Avenue. Stay behind him and keep the siren on. Do not shoot his car or ram it hard, because if he dies before he gets home, the mission fails. If he gets far ahead, you lose him and fail.

The cruiser follows a car along a lane beside a chain-link fence.
The cruiser follows Bucky through a back alley.
The cruiser drives down a narrow lane between houses.

Take down the crew

Bucky runs inside, and the objective changes to taking down the whole gang. His crew of five is in the house with him. Take cover in the doorway and shoot each man as he appears. They show as red blips on the radar, so watch it for anyone coming around a corner.

The cruiser stops outside a house with the objective to take down the whole gang.
Niko aims an SMG across a dim living room inside the house.
Niko aims into a dark room with a counter and chairs.
Niko climbs a short flight of stairs inside the house.

Lose the police

The shooting brings the police, and you finish with a wanted level. Go back to your car or take another and drive out of the search area. Westdyke has lots of alleys, so use them. Once the stars stop flashing, Niko calls Derrick and the mission ends.

Niko stands on a lawn with the objective to lose his wanted level.
The cruiser sits on Cariboo Avenue in Westdyke with a wanted level.

What fails this mission

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

  • Bucky gets away.
  • Bucky dies before he reaches his hideout.

After the mission

Derrick pays $6,500. If you have also finished A Long Way to Fall, the Alderney safehouse opens, along with Babysitting and, after No. 1, Stevie’s Car Thefts. Otherwise, move on to the other jobs available to you.
