Hostage Trade

Chapter: Chapter 3: Power Struggle · Difficulty: Normal · Reward: $8,000

This mission takes place in Chapter 3: Power Struggle and is rated Normal. Completing it rewards you with $8,000.

What You Need to Do

  1. Go to the exchange location at the abandoned motel
  2. Negotiate the hostage release
  3. The deal goes wrong — eliminate the kidnappers
  4. Escort the freed hostage to the hospital
  5. Lose the police attention

Strategy Guide

Use a silenced pistol for the initial shots — if the hostage gets caught in crossfire the mission fails instantly. Park a fast car pointing toward the road before the exchange begins.

Trivia
