Search and Delete (Brucie)

Find Roman’s hyperactive online pal Brucie at Brucie’s Executive Lifestyle Autos—he’s as hyper as ever. Brucie needs help and the Bellic cousins need money. Brucie wants to whack some witnesses. You’ll need to steal a police car and get on the computer. Once there, give Brucie a call for further information.

Objective: Get a cop car.

Simply jacking a cop car isn’t the easiest thing to do. You may get lucky and find one parked somewhere (or you could go to a police station). After a few minutes, Brucie sends a text message: one way to get the cops’ attention is to dial 911 on your cell phone! Activate your cell phone and dial 911. Select "police" and a cop car will arrive at your location shortly. Once the cops exit the car, run and get inside and quickly drive off.

You will probably need to lose a wanted level given your chosen method of jacking a cop car. Just escape the flashing zone and lay low until your wanted level disappears. You get in touch with Brucie who tells you to access the police car’s computer and locate Lyle Rivas.

Objective: Access the police computer.

Stop the car and activate the police computer. Select "Search Police Records" then "Search by Name". Type in "LYLE RIVAS" and hit enter. The records reveal Lyle Rivas’ mug shot as well as his hangout: Broker. Mark Rivas’ house on radar.

Objective: Go to Rivas’s house.

Drive along the marked route—provided by the police computer—to Rivas’s house. Get out of your car and enter the house. You catch Lyle in the bathroom and he makes a quick escape through the window.

Objective: Chase down and get rid of Rivas.

This is a long car chase. If you’re still in the police car, which is a good idea, activate the siren so other drives will stay out of your way. Keep Rivas in view but concentrate on avoiding crashes—if you get stopped, it doesn’t take long for Rivas to get far enough away that you fail the mission. You may even have to avoid logs rolling across the freeway!

Eventually Rivas gets out (or you can kill him beforehand by ramming his car or shooting at it—though just keeping up with him is difficult enough). Chase him down on foot and eliminate him to complete the task.

Russian Revolution (Dimitri)

Dimitri calls about money owed to you. He tells you to meet him at a downtown warehouse. But before you can meet Dimitri, Little Jacob agrees to meet you there and provide backup. Something doesn’t smell right.

Objective: Meet Little Jacob in East Hook.

Grab a vehicle and follow the marked route to the warehouse in East Hook. You’ll find Little Jacob waiting for you at the marker. Jacob plans to take cover while you meet with Dimitri. During the conversation, additional thugs enter and the door closes behind you. This is not going well. Little Jacob gets inside and provides backup.

Objective: Wipe out Bulgarin’s men.

This is the biggest firefight of the game so far. There are enemies on the ground floor, on the catwalks above, on the left and right sides of the room. Take cover and eliminate the nearest enemy guards and try to reach the next piece of cover ahead of you—there’s body armor there that provides invaluable protection against the warehouse crossfire.

Work your way to the right side of the warehouse. You’ll find a Molotov cocktail here; plus there’s another room on the right side that contains a health kit (which reappears even after it has been taken). Note that Little Jacob can take damage and if he’s killed, the mission ends in failure.

Check the mini-map often to note the position of enemy guards. Find cover and take out the guards up on the catwalk and continue to work your way across the warehouse to the exit. Eventually Bulgarin and Dimitri escape the battle; this event triggers the arrival of the cops.

Objective: The cops are here. Get Jacob back to the Homebrew Café.

Getting out isn’t easy. First, eliminate any remaining enemy guards near the exit (be sure to check the high catwalks). One of the toughest parts of this conclusion is making sure Jacob gets out with you (and survives for that matter). Run out of the exit and proceed to the right to find a vehicle. If Jacob is still inside, you’re notified by some text on the bottom. With Jacob following, get inside the car quickly and drive off away from the police.

Objective: Lose your wanted level. Take Little Jacob back to his café.

All the commotion inside the warehouse has created a two-star wanted level. The flashing zone is much larger and tougher too escape. Drive away from any police cars and get out of the flashing zone. Once you’ve escaped, lay low until your wanted level disappears. Return Jacob to the café and complete the task. Little Jacob suggests calling Roman; doing so triggers the Roman’s Sorrow mission.

Easy As Can Be (Brucie)

You find Brucie doing his ‘roid workouts. Gotta love the spin kick! Brucie tells you there’s a car worth stealing—one of Lyle Rivas’ old rides. The pay will be good and the job is "easy as can be"…famous last words, right?

Objective: Go to Yorktown Ave. Walk round and get the car.

There’s the target car. Looks easy enough to steal, right?

Grab a vehicle and follow the marked route to Yorktown Ave. When you arrive, get out of your car and walk through the nearby alley and get into the marked car. Three cars immediately surround you. So much for easy as can be!

Driving off and attempting to out run these enemies is almost instant death. Instead, use the car as cover and target the closest enemy vehicle while on foot. Aim for the driver and passenger and eliminate the first group. Move carefully over to the car waiting down the alley and eliminate the occupants. Finish off remaining enemies while on foot (or you could even fire your weapon from inside the car, but it’s still easier than trying to attack and defend while driving off).

All the gunfire may trigger the law. You may need to lose a wanted level after these fights. Drive the target car out of the area and escape the flashing zone to lose the wanted level.

Objective: Drive to Brucie’s lockup.

Return the car to Brucie’s lockup. Follow the marked route and deliver the vehicle back to Brucie to complete the mission.
