Chapter 2 - Home Sweet Home - p. 3 Mafia II Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
DRIVING TO A MEETING WITH MIKE BRUSKI:
It'll take a lot of time to get to Mike Bruski, because his scrapyard is located in the northern section of the city. Make sure to use your radar, so that you won't have any problems finding the correct route. Watch out for tricky corners while entering the freeway #1 and while leaving it. You can enter the scrapyard by driving through the main gate #2. You'll soon trigger a cut-scene.
Wait until you've been given control over Vito and use the time you have to explore the scrapyard. This is important, because you'll be given a chance to find a new collectible. Enter a small building located nearby #1. Check the shelves and you should be able to locate a Playboy magazine #2.
Return to Joe and Mike. Notice that you've been given a pistol and you'll have a chance to test it on an unusual firing range. Start off by shooting at both tyres on the left side of the vehicle #1. Don't worry if you don't hit each tyre right away, because the weapon you've been given is not too good. When you've destroyed both tyres aim for the fuel tank which is located near the left door. Hitting the tank will result in a nice explosion #2.
STEALING A CAR AND DELIVERING IT TO MIKE:
Enter the vehicle you've used to get here. Your next stop is the Lone Star club located in the western section of the map. Watch out for tight turns and narrow roads #1 while driving to that location. You can also use the speed limiter if you don't want to be noticed by the cops along the way. Park near the club #2 and notice that you've been left to complete this task on your own.
The vehicle Mike wants you to get for him (Walter Coupe) is parked in an alley behind the fence. There are a few ways to get there. If you don't mind fighting one of the bodyguards you can jump over the fence #1. If you don't want to engage the bodyguard in a melee fight you can steal one of the vehicles passing by #2.
If you've decided to steal a car all you have to do is to destroy the fence and to run over the bodyguard #1. If you've decided to fight the bodyguard you'll have to defeat him in a duel by stunning him and then performing a finisher #2.
Notice that other enemies have appeared in your vicinity and they will be using handguns. Don't worry about having an open confrontation, because killing them will be easy. Take cover behind a concrete barrier #1 and start shooting at them. Don't forget to aim for their heads #2, so they'll die quickly.
If you don't want to fight the group mentioned above you can try approaching the car quickly and destroying the window by pressing the Q key #1. If you've killed them a better way to get inside the car would be to open the door by solving a mini-game #2.
You'll have to be ready, because as soon as you're inside the car a new group of guards will exit the Lone Star club using the rear door #1. It would be a good idea to ignore them, because running them over is risky. Drive towards the metal gate. You'll have to destroy it if it's still closed #2 and in order to do that you can't be moving too slow.
It's not over yet. Notice that a vehicle with other guards on board is after you and enemies will be shooting at you #1. Sadly Vito can't drive the vehicle and use guns at the same time, so the only solution is to escape #2. Start driving towards the scrapyard. Try driving faster than usual and make to sure avoid hitting objects and other cars along the way, because that would allow the group who is after you to catch up.
Police vehicles may also join the chase along the way #1, however it won't change too much. You'll still have to be driving fast and avoid unwanted crashes. The chase should end when you're about half way through to the scrapyard, so you'll be allowed to finally slow down and cool off. Deliver the car to Mike's scrapyard #2 and don't worry if it's badly damaged, because you won't receive any penalties for that.
RETURNING WITH JOE TO HIS APARTMENT:
Listen to a new conversation and notice that you've been rewarded 300 dollars for delivering the car. Enter the vehicle you've used to get here in the first place and drive back with Joe to his apartment. I would recommend pulling up near the garages #1. Listen to what Joe has to say, approach your new garage and press the E key to store this vehicle #2 (this means you'll be allowed to use it in future chapters).
You must now return to Joe's apartment, so proceed to the red door and then use the staircase. There are only two more actions to be done before this chapter can end. Go to the kitchen, open the fridge #1 and take something to eat or drink (it doesn't matter what it's going to be). Locate a couch and interact with it to go to sleep #2.
