Pier 69 walkthrough

Meet Cesar on the roof

Cesar rings with new orders while you are still driving away from the last job. Head to the pier on Esplanade North and go round the back of the building as he tells you. Run upstairs to the roof, where Cesar waits. He explains that T-Bone’s Rifa guards turned up early and are watching the pier from the rooftops.

Clear the roofs

Woozie’s Triads arrive at the pier and head toward the roofs. Your job is to clear them so they are not shot. Raise the sniper rifle and pick off the Rifa guards one by one, working from the nearest roof outward. Take your time with each shot, and zoom in until the red marker above a guard sits on his head. If a Triad leader or Cesar dies, the mission fails.

The deal goes bad

T-Bone arrives with his gang, and Ryder pulls up in his Picador with the Ballas. They meet at the end of the pier. Toreno’s helicopter flies over, sees the bodies on the roof and flees, and then the gangs throw smoke grenades and open fire. Come down from the roof and fight toward T-Bone, using the cars and walls on the pier for cover.

Kill T-Bone

Follow the pier and kill the Rifa and Ballas members in your way, and watch out for gunmen behind the stairs and under the pier. If you get too far from Cesar, the game warns that you have left him behind, so stay close. Find T-Bone and shoot him. When you reach him, a short scene plays and his body drops off the pier.

Ryder’s escape

Ryder runs for a boat and dives into the water. Jump in after him, or stay on the pier and snipe him as he swims. Either way, put him down before he reaches the boat and gets away. Once he is dead the mission is done.
