Unlocks Caught as an Act, once Robbing the Cradle and Havana Good Time are also done

Forbes explains his plan to take money from the people who brought a drug shipment into the country, and Vic is the decoy. You drive a van to a warehouse, then keep the police on your tail while Lance escapes in the second van.

Before you start

Keep your health and armor topped up, because you must keep the police chasing you.

You have to stay in the decoy van throughout, so do not plan on switching vehicles.

  1. Get to the decoy van.
  2. Get to the warehouse.
  3. Get back in the decoy van.
  4. Drive south and away from the warehouse.
  5. Keep your wanted level until Lance reaches his destination.
  6. Lance has made it back to the lockup! Lose the cops!

Money for Nothing walkthrough

Forbes’s plan

Go to Forbes’s apartment in Downtown. He explains that the drugs are already in the country and that no one will be handling them. Vic is the decoy who keeps the police busy while Forbes and Lance take the money from the people who brought them in. Vic objects that the police can still shoot at him, but the pair brush that aside.

To the warehouse

Get into the decoy van parked outside and drive to the warehouse marked on the map. Park inside the warehouse when you arrive.

The swap

In the warehouse Lance climbs into a second van. Vic complains that the van is the wrong color, and Forbes brushes it off. The plan is for you to lead the police away so that Lance can reach the lockup. Get back into the decoy van, drive south out of the building and the cops are alerted.

Keeping the heat on

Now stay on the move without losing your wanted level. A Progress bar shows how far Lance has gone. If the cops lose track of you they chase Lance instead, and if you drive too close to him they spot him. Stay clear of Lance’s route and keep the police following you.

Losing the cops

When Lance reaches the lockup you are told to lose the cops. Head into Little Havana, break line of sight and hide until the wanted level clears. Keep the van in one piece, since it must survive until the end.

What fails this mission

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

  • Lance or Forbes dies
  • The decoy van is destroyed or abandoned
  • The cops spot Lance with the van
  • You lose your wanted level before Lance finishes

After the mission

You earn $1,500. Caught as an Act opens once Robbing the Cradle and Havana Good Time are also finished.
