Mission walkthrough

Before the meeting

Franklin meets Lamar and Stretch, then the three drive to the Ammu-Nation on Adam’s Apple Boulevard. Buy a Pump Shotgun and fit the flashlight. Lamar lends you $1,500 if you can’t pay.

Franklin talks with two men on a sunlit front patio, one in a green shirt and one in a white tee.

The recycling plant

Drive to the meeting. The deal with D is a setup, and Stretch shoots him. The lights are low inside, so use the flashlight and work through the Ballas room by room. Don’t rush the corners. In the large final room, stay against the right-hand wall for the safest cover.

Getting away

The police are waiting outside with a helicopter. Shoot it down, cross the junkyard to the road and steal a car. A subway tunnel or a stretch of storm drain is the easiest way to lose your stars. Then drive everyone back to Franklin’s house.

Gold Medal requirements

Ten headshots are needed, and shots to the neck count too. A shotgun helps your 60% accuracy target because its spread lands hits easily. Skip cutscenes and use a fast car and a tunnel to shake the police, as you only have 10:30.
