Waste Not Want Knots

Mission 40 of 90Story mission

01/04

Briefing

A waste depot on Colony Island is holding a great deal of cash and Packie has assembled a crew to take it. The mission is the dress rehearsal for Three Leaf Clover: a four-man job, an interior fight, an office with a bag in it, and an escape that goes sideways when a second set of criminals turns up wanting the same money.

The escape is by water, which is not something the game has asked for before.

Walkthrough

  1. A four-door car

    The crew is three men plus Niko, so a two-seater will not do and the mission will send him to find something bigger. Pick the car up before driving to the house.

  2. The yard

    Park and climb the fences into the depot. Get over the second one and open fire immediately — the guards at the entrance have to go before Packie pushes forward on his own schedule, and a crew member killed in the yard or inside fails the job.

  3. Inside

    There is a low wall immediately beside the warehouse door that is the best cover in the room; take it before advancing. The cash is in the raised office once the floor is clear.

  4. Don't fight the Italians

    Mobsters arrive for the money as Niko leaves the office. Hold the top of the stairs and clear only the men near the exit rather than the whole room — that is the quickest way back to Packie, and the mission wants the pair of them moving rather than winning.

  5. The water

    Follow Packie out the back to the docks and into the water. The Dinghy is waiting; once he is aboard, the run to the pier in Dukes is unopposed.
