When the Chips are Down

Giver
Agatha Baker
Location
Ms. Baker's phone call, or the Pause Menu job list; you spawn wherever you were in free roam, and the job adds sticky bombs to your equipment.

Ms. Baker has an address for a counterfeit chip factory and wants it shut down quietly. You clear out the gang guarding it, destroy the stamping machines and chip cases, then leave.

Before you start

Bring a rifle or SMG and full armor, since the guards come in numbers.

A helicopter or fast car gets you to the factory sooner; the location changes between attempts.

Keep the sticky bombs for the stamping machines, which bullets will not break.

Objectives

  1. Go to Popular Street.
  2. Eliminate the Kkangpae.
  3. Destroy the stamping machines and chip cases to put a stop to the counterfeit operation.
  4. Leave the area.

When the Chips are Down walkthrough

Head to the factory

Ms. Baker explains that the casino detectives traced the counterfeit chips to a factory, and the job adds sticky bombs to your inventory. Set the marker and travel there; on this attempt it was on Popular Street in La Mesa. Approach from a distance and scout the roofs and yards before you drop in, because the guards are spread across the whole compound.

Clear the guards

Several Kkangpae gunmen patrol the yards and loading bays around the factory, and the objective counts them down as you take them out. Pick them off from outside the walls where you can, then work in along the brick buildings, using the dumpsters and corners as cover. Open your weapon wheel when you need a heavier gun, and keep moving so nobody flanks you from the other side of the buildings.

Wreck the equipment

Once the last guard is down, the objective changes to the stamping machines and chip cases. Bullets break the chip cases, but the machines need explosives, so stick the bombs on them and step back before detonating. Look around the crates inside the warehouse for every item still standing; the objective only advances when all are destroyed.

What fails this mission

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

  • everyone is killed and the team runs out of lives

After the mission

Leave the area to finish. You earn cash, casino chips and RP, and Ms. Baker calls to commend you. Her next Casino Work job usually follows soon after.
