The Hotel Assassination
34of 83
Mission 34 of 83Story mission
Briefing
Lester meets Franklin on Vespucci Beach with the first of five contracts: the head of a research company, staying at a hotel in the city, to be removed before a share price moves.
The only one of the five the story requires. It can be taken from distance with a rifle or handled with a device on the target's car, and only the rifle satisfies the medal.
Objectives
- Go to the hotel
- Assassinate the target
- Leave the area
Walkthrough
Choosing the method
Brett Lowrey can be taken with a rifle or with a sticky bomb on his car. Sniper Boy requires the rifle.
The position
Franklin works from the multi-storey car park across from the Von Crastenburg Hotel.
The market
Neither of the other two criteria sets a bar — they record the time taken and the fee earned. The larger return is the share move the hit causes: Betta Pharmaceuticals before it, Bilkinton afterwards.
Gold Medal
3 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.
Time
Time taken to complete the mission.
Sniper Boy
Kill the target using the sniper rifle.
The car-bomb method completes the mission but forfeits this criterion.
Money Earned
Money earned from the hit.
Unlocks
- 3671 Whispymound Drive

Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
Gives the job
Lester Crest
Heist planner
The planner behind the crew's largest scores. Physically frail and technically formidable, he is the reason a job that should be impossible turns out to have a route through it.
