Last update: 11 May 2016
Mission rewards:
- Gang Member: Alfredo Costa
- Unique Weapon: Sharpshooter (Submachine Gun)
- Level Up
Once again, a new mission will greet you with access to a new character. This time it's Alfredo Costa, a born sniper with the Rage ability, which increases his dealt damage. If he hits the enemy unit, you can be sure he'll eliminate it from the fight for good.
Somebody wants to assassinate you! Not only you've been constantly followed, but a while later a known assassin came to town. The situation is getting hot, but before you make any move you need to gather more information. The assassin currently resides in Ritz-Carlton Hotel: bribe the maid ($800) to check his bags. You can send one of your men at once; the rest can take care of earning you money: setup a Protection Racket to secure a steady flow of cash.
The info gathered by the maid will tell you that the assassin carries a police uniform. Get more details before taking any action. Follow the guy - simply have your men visit the same places he has been at. You're also going to need to increase your Liked rating. You can do it with a Brewery; the Beer it produces will additionally get you some cash. The next location requires that your Liked rating is at least 40.
In the meantime, expand your business and uncover more parts of the city. Establish a Brewery, take over one Speakeasy, setup a Protection Racket and a Bookmaker, and you should have the money flow. An additional Pharmacy, supplied in Liquor from time to time, will soon become the only source of clean money. The next place you need to visit requires 10 pieces of Firearms - buy them in town or through Jobs.
Doing all that will allow you to level your men up. You'll also learn that police is involved in the whole thing - time to pay a visit to an old friend: Deputy Kingsley. He's not too eager for a chat, but an unsecured transport of alcohol (60 casks of Liquor at least) should draw his attention. You can buy the Liquor in distilleries scattered around town, or through Jobs.
It turns out Kingsley has been threatened and won't be able to help you out. You're going to have to pull some strings - payoff informants, uncover officials' residences and give them some money. Once you get on their good side, ask for a favor three times. NOTE! Remember to buy weapons first, because once you select this option, the officials become unavailable.
Before going on the third action, save the game! I suggest equipping The Boss in the best weapon available as he is about to fight off several opponents all on his own. Kingsley will contact you after he finishes the last favor. The assassin hasn't been hunting you, but your brother - you have to save him!
You have 10 rounds to run into the building and shoot three false cops together with the assassin. Time is money, so you're going to have to eliminate targets while running. Use every option you have that will help you move, such as Tide, as well as ranged weapons: the Thompson submachine gun can take down several units at a time. The mission ends once the battle is over.
