Briefing
Elizabeta Torres deals cocaine out of a South Bohan apartment and is having a bad month. Her first job for Niko is overwatch: Patrick McReary is buying from the Spanish Lords on a rooftop, the Lords intend to rob him, and Niko is on the next roof with a sniper rifle.
It is the introduction to Packie, who becomes one of the most important people in the campaign, and it gets loud in its second half when the plan fails.
Objectives
- Go to the building in South Bohan
- Go to the roof and pick up the sniper rifle
- Make your way to the vantage point
- Packie and his associate have arrived — watch over the meeting with the sniper rifle
- Take out all of the attackers
- Protect Packie
- Packie is in trouble — find him and help him
Walkthrough
The vantage point
The rifle is waiting on the roof. Take it and move to the marked position overlooking the deal.
The man with the knife
When it turns, one attacker goes straight for Packie with a knife. He carries a red marker above him and Packie carries a blue one, which is how to pick him out of the group — he is the shot to take first.
Firing faster
Crouching immediately after a shot and standing again cycles the rifle quicker than waiting for it, at some cost to the aim. It is worth it while several attackers are converging at once.
The one who runs
An attacker breaks for a van. Take him before he reaches it, or through the windscreen once he is in it — and the last stretch of the mission is on the ground with Packie, not on the roof, so drop the rifle for something close-range on the way down.
Unlocks
- The sniper rifle
- The combat sniper
- The SMG

Gives the job
A Bohan dealer running an operation large enough to have attracted federal attention, and paranoid enough to know it.
