Last update: 20 October 2016
This is one of two rackets available in Barclay Mills. You can weaken it after speaking with Donovan as part of "The Dead Stay Gone" story mission. The main objective is to take down enemy lieutenant Paul "Puppy" Simmons. You can weaken the racket in many ways that are described below.
- Meeting with Maria Bava
- Sabotaging the garbage dump
- Interrogating the blackmailer
- Destroying the barrels with waste
- Stealing money
- Killing the cleaner
- Stopping the garbage truck
- Initiating a confrontation with Puppy
Important - Before you start weakening this racket, you should wiretap all boxes in Barclay Mills.
Meeting with Maria Bava
Maria can be found in one of the buildings in the southern part of the district. Speak with her about the possible ways of weakening Puppy's racket.
Sabotaging the garbage dump
The garbage dump is a large and well protected location. While exploring it you should sneak up, otherwise you can be easily detected and find yourself under heavy fire. This can also lead to reinforcements appearing in the area.
Lincoln must plant explosives at the garbage dump, but the area where he must do it is separated with a fence. The best solution to that problem is to move through the upper balconies. First you will have to pass through at least one of the buildings. The path that leads to the separated area is marked on the above picture.
Take care of the two final opponents wearing protective suits and then get close to the barrel with chemical waste. Walk to the marked location and press the interaction button to plant an explosive. The final step is leaving the garbage dump. Luckily, you don't have to be rush - simply go back through the same way you entered. Once you're away from the dump, a cutscene will start in which the explosives explode. The hostile racket will be weakened by 10 thousand dollars.
Interrogating the blackmailer
A very simple mission objective. Reach the location marked on the map and wait for the person of interest to walk to a remote location or lure him away from the rest, for example by whistling. Once you do it, interrogate him about the potential weaknesses of the racket. Once you're done, you can kill or recruit him.
Destroying the barrels with waste
The barges are located in various places across the border of Barclay Mills. Each of them is guarded by large group of enemies. You can eliminate the gangsters or quickly dispose of the barges and escape before the enemies manage to respond with fire. You can use any weapon to destroy the barge - don't waste grenades or Molotov's cocktails. Sinking each barge will weaken enemy racket by 2000 dollars.
Stealing money
You will learn that you can steal large number of money after you interrogate the blackmailer. In order to complete this objective, go to the warehouse in the western part of the district. Once you there, don't look immediately for money. First eliminate all the enemies marked with skull and radioactive waste icons. These gangsters are enforcers and eliminating them will make it easier to later attack the boss hideout. There are six such enemies in the area.
Once you take care of all the enforcers, look around for the chest with the money. You must hold the interaction button for a few seconds in order to obtain the cash (and to weaken the enemy racket by 10000 dollars).
Killing the cleaner
The cleaner can be found in the place where the gangsters are pouring the illegal waste to the water. You can get rid of the enemy for example by destroying the nearby green barrels. You can also use a machine rifle. Remember about the sentries and eliminate then quickly or leave the area after killing the cleaner before the reinforcements arrive.
Stopping the garbage truck
This objective is quite unusual since you can find one of the garbage trucks used by the gangsters while freely exploring Barclay Mills. The gangsters that use it will automatically attack Lincoln. One of them is an enforcer, so you should kill him if you want to make it easier to complete the final part of this mission.
Initiating a confrontation with Puppy
Once you weaken the waste disposal racket enough (actions related to Puppy - yellow points on the map), go back to Maria. After speaking with her you can go to the garbage dump in the northern part of the district where you previously planted the explosives.
Puppy can be found in the office on the first floor of the main building of the dump (above picture). On your way to him you should silently takedown the gangsters because even if you eliminated all eight enforcers, there will still be many sentries around. On your way to the office you will encounter two gangsters on a single balcony, it is a good idea to lure them away with whistling or with Screaming Zemi. Once you get to Puppy, as usually you can decide whether to kill or recruit him.
Important - At the end you must decide who will receive this racket - Cassandra, Burke or Vito. Each of them will offer you a different bonus. You should know that you will be able to change your decision after taking over the whole Barclay Mills - once that happen, you will have to decide who will receive control over the whole area (including all its businesses).
