Holed Up – Burton

Giver
Martin Madrazo
Location
Martin Madrazo's phone call, or the Pause Menu job list; you spawn in Los Santos near the marked apartments.

One of Martin’s lieutenants, Juan, has been trapped at an apartment building by a rival gang. You clear the gang out, pick Juan up and escort him safely to Madrazo’s house.

Before you start

Bring armor and an automatic weapon; the fight at the apartments is at short range.

Use a sturdy car. Juan travels with you or in a car of his own, and the pursuers target both.

Objectives

  1. Go to the apartments.
  2. Take out the rival gang.
  3. Escort Juan to Madrazo’s house.

Holed Up – Burton walkthrough

Clear the apartment car park

Follow the route marker through the city streets to the apartment block. The gang is in the underground car park and around the vehicles outside it. Stop before the entrance, check the cars for armed men and use the concrete pillars as cover. Advance one section at a time and keep your armor up. The pillars also block shots from the upper level.

Pick up Juan and set out

When the last gang member is down, Juan joins you. Get into your car and set off for Madrazo’s house in the hills above the city. Keep to the main roads and do not leave Juan behind; the mission fails if he dies, so check on him if the road gets busy.

Fight off the pursuers

At least four enemy cars chase the convoy. They come in from behind and cut across the junctions, so stay ahead and shoot them as they pull alongside. Swerve to break their line when you can, and ram a car that is cutting you off. A passenger can lean out and shoot while you drive. Do not stop at a red light.

The last stretch

Once the attackers fall behind, follow the road up into the hills. It is a quiet residential area, but a few more cars may still appear from side streets, so keep an eye on your mirror and your health. Slow down for the final bend, line the car up with the gate and drive in. Juan is safe as soon as he arrives, and the job ends there.

What fails this mission

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

  • Juan dies
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

Arriving at Madrazo’s house with Juan ends the job with the Mission Passed card and your cash and RP. Go back to the job list or call Martin again.
