Requires Caught as an Act

Unlocks The Bum Deal

Forbes gives Vic and Lance a tip about a dealer carrying money and drugs on a boat. You watch over Lance as he makes the meeting, chase the boat when it leaves, then fight through the ship to rescue him and take the cargo.

Before you start

Pack your best weapon. You fight inside narrow corridors on the ship and have little room to back off.

A chainsaw lies on the ship, and it is the only one you can pick up before the east island opens.

Objectives

  1. Find a good vantage point to watch over Lance.
  2. Use your binoculars to keep an eye on Lance.
  3. Head down to the pier and help Lance before it’s too late.
  4. Get some wheels and chase after the boat.
  5. Get onto the ship.
  6. Find Lance and rescue him.
  7. Collect the contraband.
  8. Get off the ship and meet Lance on shore.

Leap and Bound walkthrough

The tip

Go to the abandoned apartment complex in Little Haiti. Forbes is tied up inside and offers a trade: a dealer is moving cash and cocaine through Downtown today, and he will only meet one person at a time. Lance agrees to meet him and tells you to watch his back, so head to Downtown on the bike you get at the start.

Watching Lance

Climb the stairs to the rooftop marker and use the binoculars. Hold R1 to raise them and use the buttons shown on screen to zoom in and out. Keep Lance in view while he talks to the dealer. When things go wrong and the dealer’s men take him to a boat, the game tells you to head for the pier.

The chase to the docks

Run back down and take the bike, because Lance is on a boat that is moving away. Stay close enough to see it. If you fall too far behind, you lose them. Follow the coast through Little Haiti and Little Havana to the docks, where a larger ship is moored, and stop as close to it as you can.

Boarding the ship

Lance has been taken aboard the cargo ship at the dock. Climb on, move through the dark corridors and enter the lower deck. Enemies wait behind the doors and in the corners. Take them one at a time, find Lance and untie him, then he says he will get some transport and sends you back for the cargo.

The contraband

Collect the contraband that is spread around the ship. Some of it sits on deck and some inside, so search all of the passages and stairs. When you have everything, get off the ship and meet Lance on shore. Lance meets you there with a car.
