Mission 18 of 90Story mission
Briefing
Vlad's death puts Niko in front of the man Vlad worked for. Mikhail Faustin is volatile, coked, and entirely unbothered that his own enforcer has just been killed; Dimitri Rascalov, standing beside him, is the one taking notes.
The job itself is an errand — drive Dimitri to a sex shop, frighten the owner, then to a gun shop — and it exists to open the underground gun dealers, which is where Niko buys everything afterwards.
Objectives
- Take Dimitri to the sex shop on Delaware Avenue
- Enter the shop
- Target Joseph to intimidate him
- Target the guy in the middle
- Shoot the porn actor in the leg
- Follow Dimitri out of the store
- Go with Dimitri to the gun store
- Head into the gun store
- Purchase a Micro-SMG
- Get back to Dimitri
- Take Dimitri to Faustin's house
Walkthrough
The drive out
A Turismo is parked at Faustin's garage, which is the quickest thing to hand for the run across Broker.
The shop
Most of this is aiming rather than firing — the objectives ask Niko to target two men in turn to frighten them. The one shot the mission wants is a leg shot on one of the actors.
The gun shop
The Micro-SMG is bought on Faustin's account rather than out of Niko's pocket. This is the introduction to the underground dealers, which stay open afterwards.
Back to Beachgate
A plain drive, with Dimitri talking. The conversation is where the split between him and Faustin first shows.
Unlocks
- Underground gun shops
- The Micro-SMG
