Packie is a member of the notorious McReary family, and his involvement in organized crime is deeply ingrained.

This mission is a masterclass in heist gameplay, requiring careful planning and precise execution. Another mission, 'Smuggling', involves Packie and Niko intercepting a shipment of illegal goods, leading to a chaotic chase and shootout.
