Mission 23 of 26Story mission
Briefing
Bulgarin finally says out loud what he has been circling for the whole episode — that the diamonds were his, that Luis has been working for the man who took them, and that the conversation is over. The ambush is already on the roof when he says it.
It is the only mission in the HD-era games with a decapitation in it, and the only one where a parachute Luis is carrying is taken off him before the fight rather than after.
Objectives
- Go to the building and protect Timur.
- Take out the snipers.
- More assassins have arrived. Find a way off the roof.
- Leave the area.
Walkthrough
Four snipers, four shots
The condition on this section is exact: four sniper rifle rounds for four snipers, one each. Missing once loses it for the run, so the rifle work is the mission rather than a stage of it.
Bring nothing you mind losing
A parachute carried into this mission is lost during the confrontation, which matters to a player planning the descent that follows.
Off the roof
A second wave arrives and the objective becomes getting down rather than holding position. Ten headshots and sixty per cent accuracy are wanted across the whole of it.

Who this mission brings together.
Gives the job
A Russian trafficker with an interest in everything moving through Liberty City's docks, and the man The Ballad of Gay Tony spends its second half trying not to be noticed by.
