Mission walkthrough

The first lead

Meet at the warehouse in Banning. Michael and Dave go to a house in Rockford Hills, which turns out to be a false lead. Control switches to Trevor.

Trevor in a red shirt talks with a man in a blue shirt in a warehouse yard, a car parked behind them.
A man in a gray shirt climbs into a teal sedan in a yard beside a corrugated warehouse wall.
A dark sedan waits outside a gated white mansion, where the lead turns out to be the wrong house.

Torturing Kerimov

You have four tools: waterboarding, a wrench, electrodes on a car battery and pliers for his teeth. Pick one per round, and use the controls shown on screen. The heart monitor is the thing to watch. If Kerimov passes 200 BPM, his heart stops and you have to inject adrenaline. You only get three shots, so a fourth stop kills him and fails the mission.

The party in Chumash

The first answer sends Michael and Dave to a house in Chumash, where five men could be the target. Don’t go up to the party, because being seen or shooting the wrong person fails the mission. Watch them through the sniper scope while Trevor gets more out of Kerimov. Each round gives a clue: average height and weight, a beard, a chain smoker of Redwood cigarettes, and left-handed.

When you can see which man matches, shoot him. Haines tells Trevor to kill Kerimov next, but you get to drive him to the airport instead. Keep him in the truck until you get there.

What fails this mission

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

  • Dave died.
  • Michael died.
  • Trevor’s truck is undriveable.
  • Dave was abandoned.
  • Dave’s car was destroyed.
  • Dave’s car got stuck.
  • Mr. K died.
  • The target was spooked before an ID was made.
  • Michael was seen at the party.
  • A party guest was killed before an ID was made.

Gold Medal requirements

All four tools are required, so use a different one in each round. A safe order is wrench, pliers, electrodes and then waterboarding in short bursts. Keep Kerimov below 200 BPM.
