Mission walkthrough

The standoff

Michael goes to the Kortz Center to meet Dave. Haines and Sanchez arrive, then IAA, then FIB agents, and finally a Merryweather Buzzard. Everyone opens fire. Run for the balcony as Michael and get into cover.

Michael walks toward the Low Rotunda entrance of the Kortz Center complex.
Four IAA agents in a row aim pistols and SMGs on a Kortz Center terrace.
Michael ducks behind a planter in the Kortz courtyard and fires a pistol at agents.

Trevor to the rescue

The game switches to Trevor, who has a sniper rifle at a distance. Shoot the Buzzard’s pilot. Michael heads down to the courtyard. Switch between the two to keep Dave alive as he crosses. Trevor’s rifle helps with enemies on higher ground, and Michael’s ability helps with those up close. Dave can’t die or be left behind.

Through a sniper scope, the Kortz sign and a curved sculpture show over the courtyard.

Morningwood

Get to the parking lot and take a car. A helicopter follows. You can shoot it down or lose it. Lose any stars before you enter Morningwood, as arriving there with a wanted level fails the mission.

What fails this mission

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

  • Dave died.
  • Dave was abandoned.
  • Entering Morningwood with a wanted level.

Gold Medal requirements

Eighteen headshots are easiest with Michael’s ability in the courtyard. Shoot down the chasing helicopter rather than losing it. Skip scenes to stay inside 07:00.
