Mission 38 of 105Story mission

01/04

Briefing

The Inside Track betting shop in Montgomery keeps its takings behind a door that will not open, so Catalina holds the cashier at gunpoint while Carl blows the safe with satchel charges. It is the mission that puts remote explosives into the game.

It is also the one that starts at four stars. Every other robbery in this strand attracts the police afterwards; this one has them coming from the moment the charge goes off, and the objectives name the Pay 'n' Spray as the way out.

Walkthrough

  1. Placing the charge

    The satchel is planted on the safe door and detonated remotely, and the mission asks for distance before the trigger for the obvious reason. This is the game teaching a weapon it expects to be used again.

  2. Four stars in the country

    The wanted level this generates is the highest any storyline mission starts with, and Montgomery is a small town with few ways out of it. Leaving immediately in whatever is outside beats trying to fight through it.

  3. The respray

    The Pay 'n' Spray is the objective and the mission does not end without it. Roadblocks between the shop and the garage are the thing to plan the route around.
