Finish up by moving to the left and unlock the last point. Point the camera toward Bedbug and install a tracker on his phone.

Objective: Follow Bedbug to get blackmail. Remain unseen.

Follow Bedbug to his car, but don't get caught. Hijack a nearby car and follow him. When he moves into gang territory, do not follow him in. Move around the gang area to the right and continue to follow him when his car exits the area.

When Bedbug gets out, he enters another restricted gang area. Follow him on foot from the north and don't get caught. When he stops next to the van to have a conversation. Wait until he moves and move around the back side of the van. Hide between the dumpster and the wooden structure.

Wait for Bedbug to move again. Cross the street and look out for the gang member in the area he moves in to. Don't get caught, so move into the area and take cover. Bedbug will move around another fence, walking right by another gang member. As soon as that he looks away, climb over the fence and take cover to the right of the tree near the exit Bedbug uses. Keep an eye on Bedbug from behind the fence.

Objective: Use cameras to follow Bedbug.

Use the nearby cameras to keep an eye on Bedbug. Start with the camera behind you, near the patrolling gang member. Move the camera up to find another camera directly ahead. Switch to this camera and move it up to find the camera on the building next to Bedbug. Access this camera and listen in on Bedbug's conversation.

Objective: Help Rabbit escape.

Objective: Call Rabbit.

Objective: Guide Rabbit safely through the Viceroys.

Objective: Leave the area.

Bedbug will pull a gun on Rabbit, so hack the object next to them. Rabbit will run for it. Use the camera to follow him and hack his phone to call him. You'll be alerted to a gang member, but they're moving so quickly that they won't remain long enough to actually spot you. Ignore the notifications and focus on Rabbit. If you are get spotted, it means you weren't far enough to the right of the tree when you took cover.

You can now either allow Rabbit to get caught and hack his phone for information or you can direct Rabbit to leave without being seen. If you choose to help him out, there are two guards in the immediate area to worry about. Wait until the one closest to Rabbit moves away and direct him to move to the stack of palettes next to the garbage crate. Quickly switch to the camera on the left and direct Rabbit to move behind the palettes near the guard in this area. At this point, the guard will move. As soon as he turns, move Rabbit to the guard's previous spot and switch to the camera just above the red truck. Move Rabbit to the other side of the truck.

From this spot there's one guard down the street. Distract him, otherwise wait for him to turn around. When he does, switch to the camera to the right of the guard and move Rabbit behind the white structure to the left of the red truck with the white trailer. Switch to the camera to the left of Rabbit and move him to the palettes just to the left of the guard ahead. Switch near Rabbit and move him around the side of the palettes when the guard comes around. From here, Rabbit will lead himself out of the area. Now just worry about getting yourself out.

Take a car to the the factory. Hack the gate when you get there and use the computer at the waypoint. You don't have much time to set up an ambush. Pick up the extra IEDs to the left of the computer. Look around on the ground to find tracks on either side of the area and any cigarette butts that indicate the locations of guards. Place IEDs in each of these locations, raise the shutters and the protectors, and hide behind one of them until the hitmen arrive.

Objective: Viceroys incoming. Find a good vantage point.

Objective: Eliminate all of Iraq's crew.

Watch the thug take the briefcase and follow it as it gets passed along. Head back up the stairs and follow the briefcase from the street level, which will help you avoid being spotted.

Objective: Tail the boat carrying the briefcase.

Objective: Locate the briefcase unseen.

Get to the pier and wait in cover for the hand-off. Hop on the nearby motorcycle and follow the boat. When the boat arrives, find the briefcase without being spotted. Rotate the platform to get over to the building. You don't need to be close to the briefcase to discover its location.

Objective: Infiltrate the marina to get the briefcase.

Objective: Escape the marina.

Go towards the west platform. Move to the end of the platform and swim over to the ladder to the left of the garage door. You'll be at the north side of the building. Two guards stand along the east, while a third one patrols the area. Access the camera above to pinpoint all the guards. Make your way upstairs to the main area and wait for the patrolling guard to move south. After he exits, get closer to the briefcase.

Stop and hide near the wood pile until the patrolling guard returns. When he stops nearby and turns away, take him down. Watch the direction the remaining guards are facing and charge towards the briefcase. One guard will patrol the area surrounding it, so wait for him to move away. Grab the briefcase and make your escape. Exit where you came in and simply drive away.

Objective: Locate a guard with the access code.

Objective: Download access code.

Get to the ctOS Control Center and find a hacking point near the pizzeria to the northeast. Opens the gate and head through the gate. Take cover and hack the first guard on the left. He moves around, so if you don't see him, simply wait behind cover.

Objective: Hack the ctOS server.

Objective: Leave the area.

Exit the area and head south. Stay close to the building and make your way around without leaving the mission area. To the left of the south gate is a blue lift. Use it to get to the roof and access the cameras on each guard and around the area to pinpoint each guard.

Drop down to the lower level and wait behind cover until it's clear to move to the waypoint. All of the guards will eventually disperse, except one. Stay close to the wall and move in slowly to take him out.

Head to the waypoint when the coast is clear and hide. Access the hacking point and begin the mini-game. Start with the timed point in the middle. Turn it one time and move to the lower left point. Unlock it and turn it one time as well for two clicks in total. Unlock the point at the very bottom and turn it three times for four total clicks. Go back to the timed point and turn it one more time. Unlock the far right point, then turn it once for two clicks in total, then unlock the point in the upper left corner and turn it once for two clicks in total. Go back to the far right point and turn it two more times to unlock the point at the very top. Click the final point to access the camera. Access the camera on the far end of the room and access the unlock point ahead.

Use the hacking point ahead to attract the closest guard and hide between the attract point and the hacking point. When the guard rounds the corner, take him out. Head out to the left and avoid any guards until you reaech the exit.

Objective: Hack the ctOS box to find Crispin.

Head across the street and hack the point without being seen. You'll only have 15 seconds to complete the hacking mini-game.

Turn the far left point three times and turn the far right point once. Unlock the point above the timed point and turn it one time for two clicks in total. Go back to the far left point and turn it three more times. Return to the far-right point and turn it one more time to unlock the point at the top. Click the final point to access the camera.

Objective: Eliminate Crispin.

Access all of the cameras in the building to get a bead on the position of the guards. Crispin is too heavily guarded to get in clean without any kills. In addition, if you give him a chance to run he will take it. Move around to the south side and open the two doors closest to Crispin. You'll need to be careful when you nudge the doors to open them. If you go too far in you'll alert the guards.

With the doors open, craft a frag grenade and a few IEDs, take cover, and throw the frag grenade inside. Get the IED thrown and ready to explode, but wait until Crispin walks out of his covered area. As soon as he's close enough to the IED, blow it. If your timing is off and Crispin gets away, you'll need to find a vehicle and chase him down.

You can also get in a nearby car and park it in front of the opened doors. Use the car as cover and shoot up the area. Make sure you don't get caught by Crispin or he'll attempt to escape.

Objective: Hack Crispin's phone to obtain data.

Objective: Kill all of Crispin's backup or escape.

Do what it takes to kill Crispin. Hack his phone after you kill him and exit the area.

Objective: Go to the private lounge, Infinite 92.

Objective: Follow the host.

Objective: Leave Infinite 92.

Head downstairs to the next waypoint. When you're inside, follow the host to the next waypoint. Watch the cutscene and head toward the door. Watch that cutscene and go to the final waypoint.
