Stocks and Scares walkthrough

Reach the port warehouse

Drive to the marker on Abattoir Avenue and follow the quay along the water to the big warehouse. Guards watch the doors and the yard, so stop short and clear the nearest men before you roll in. A car gives you cover while you move up. Once inside, pull up where the floor opens out and get out on foot.

Clear the floor

Merryweather guards hold the ground floor, the stairs and the walkways above it. Shoot from cover behind the crates and parked vehicles and work around the room, checking the upper walkways where gunmen sit. Keep moving up the stairs while you reload, and do not leave anyone behind you, since reinforcements keep coming in through the side door.

Hack the door and crack the safe

Go to the terminal by the locked office door and start the hack. You pick the program from the on-screen menu and then solve the puzzle, so have a teammate cover you while you do it. Inside the office, walk to the safe and start the dial. Turn it until the controller vibrates hardest, set each of the three locks, and the safe opens with the briefcase inside.

Carry the briefcase out

With the briefcase in hand, fight your way back down through the warehouse to your car. Guards chase you out of the port, so keep your speed up and drive for Lester’s warehouse in Murrieta Heights. Use the wide freeways to pull away from the chasing cars and take the corners wide. Stop in the marker to finish.
