Ruff Rider (Dwayne)

On Playboy’s request you go visit Dwayne. Dwayne feels tainted—no one wants to hang out anymore, not his girlfriend, Playboy, no one. He actually thinks his girlfriend is hanging with Jayvon now—and Dwayne thinks Jayvon is the one who snitched. Like an old friend, you volunteer to pay Jayvon and Dwayne’s ex a visit.

Objective: Go to the arcade in Chinatown.

Grab a car and drive from Dwayne’s place along the marked route to the arcade in Chinatown. You’ll find Jayvon and Dwayne’s ex, Cherise, outside.

It’s up to you. Eliminate Cherise or let her live?

Objective: Execute Cherise or let her live.

As soon as you arrive, the problems begin. Jayvon takes off and you’re presented with a choice. You can kill Dwayne’s ex Cherise or let her live. Deciding to allow her to live just means leaving the scene and going after Jayvon. If you do decide to let her live, your compassion will be rewarded when Cherise appears as a friend later in the game.

Objective: Chase Jayvon down.

Jayvon grabs a motorcycle and takes off. You can join him on a bike by looking along the street to the right of the arcade. Follow the red target on the mini-map. As you get close, start firing at Jayvon’s tires. Slow him down so you can take him out. The motorcycle chases can be challenging because one false move and you might get thrown off. Look for an opportunity to get close (perhaps Jayvon gets stuck in traffic or has a rough time around a turn) and start firing at close-range.

Objective: Get Dwayne’s money.

Eliminate Jayvon and he drops Dwayne’s money. Pick up the money and you automatically call Dwayne.

Objective: Go meet Dwayne at the Cluckin’ Bell.

Drive over to Star Junction and find the marked Cluckin’ Bell. Park and get out of your vehicle. Head inside the Cluckin’ Bell and find Dwayne seated in the back. Approach Dwayne and finish the mission.

Hostile Negotiation (Roman)

At some point during your missions with Dwayne and Playboy X, Mallorie calls and tells you that Roman has been kidnapped. Dimitri sends you a text message and photo of your cousin—Roman isn’t looking good. The mission automatically begins at this point; your mini-map marks the location of the warehouse.

Objective: Go to the warehouse where Roman is being held.

Grab a vehicle and drive along the marked route and find the warehouse where Roman is being held. As you approach the marked entrance, search the area for an AK-47. There are many guards inside. You’ll need good weaponry and plenty of ammunition.

Objective: Roman is on the top floor. Rescue him.

You begin the battle behind cover near the warehouse entrance. This isn’t a bad staging ground because you have a good line of fire on the enemies on the bottom floor. If you move over to the left then you’re pinned near a corner and most of the enemies have plenty of pillar cover to avoid your fire. Note that there is a health kit over on this left side. Save it until you’re heavily wounded.

Aim at the enemy in the far back left corner; he’s currently smoking and standing next to an explosive barrel. Shoot the barrel to cause a big explosion that could take out a few guards and thin the ground floor. Stick behind cover and eliminate each guard in turn. If you have a line of sight on any guards on the second floor, take aim. Work your way to the left toward the health kit.

When you enter the ground floor, take cover behind the pillars and clear any remaining guards from the floor. Scan all areas of the second floor and shoot any guards exposed into view. Go to the far right area of the ground floor and ascend the stairs to the second floor.

Work your way across the second floor; hang to the left side. Eliminate any guards you may have missed before. When you reach the flight of stairs that leads to the third floor, grab the body armor on the ground nearby. Ascend the stairs to the third floor.

There are more guards here. Work slowly toward the end of the hall. Take cover, eliminate any guards within view, and then push forward to the next piece of cover. There’s a health kit at the end of the hall. Start up the staircase to the fourth floor.

As you cross the fourth floor, be prepared to target enemies on the left side; they’re on the rooftop to the left. Shoot these enemies and any blocking your path toward Roman, who’s marked on your mini-map. Reaching Roman’s room triggers the next objective.

Objective: Use Free-Aim to take out the kidnapper and free Roman.

Save Roman by being quick and accurate. Freely aim and target the kidnapper’s head. A single headshot with an assault rifle will terminate the kidnapper and free Roman.

Objective: Follow Roman. Take Roman back to the Bohan safehouse.

Follow Roman out of the warehouse. When you reach the ground, get into the nearby vehicle and drive Roman to safety. Follow the marked route back to the Bohan safehouse. Roman tells you that he’ll get a new place. Not long after the mission, expect a call from Roman with information about your new safehouse in Algonquin.
