Just Business

This mission throws you into a high-octane chase sequence where Big Smoke is driving a motorcycle, and it's your job to protect him and the bike from a relentless assault. It's a test of your shooting skills and situational awareness, as enemies will come at you from all sides in cars and on motorcycles. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries; practice makes perfect!

Mission Objectives & Strategy

Your primary goal is to survive the chase and eliminate all threats. Here's how to approach it:

  • Initial Phase: The Chase Begins
    • As soon as the mission starts, you'll be on the back of Big Smoke's motorcycle. Enemies will immediately begin to pursue.
    • Focus on Immediate Threats: Prioritize enemies that are closest to you and actively firing. These pose the most direct danger to your health and the motorcycle's integrity.
    • Targeting Strategy:
      • Drivers/Riders: Aim for the heads or torsos of enemy drivers and motorcycle riders. A well-placed shot can quickly neutralize a threat without needing to destroy the entire vehicle.
      • Vehicle Weak Points: If you have a clear shot and some distance, you can target the gas tanks of enemy cars for quick explosions. However, avoid doing this if the vehicle is too close, as the explosion can damage your own bike.
      • Windshields: Remember you can shoot enemies through their car windshields.
  • Dealing with Specific Enemy Types:
    • Motorcycles: These are often the most agile and persistent threats. Focus on taking out the rider as quickly as possible. If the rider is eliminated, the motorcycle will typically crash, removing it from the chase.
    • Cars: Cars will try to ram you and their occupants will shoot. Prioritize the shooters first, then the driver.
    • The Big Truck: There will be a large truck chasing you throughout the mission. Ignore this truck entirely. It cannot be destroyed by your gunfire and does not inflict direct damage on you. It's a visual threat designed to distract, so don't waste precious ammunition or focus on it.
  • Managing Your Resources:
    • Ammunition: While you have infinite ammo for this mission, efficient shooting is still key to quickly eliminating threats and reducing incoming damage.
    • Health: It's easy to get fixated on your health bar, but try not to let it distract you. Focus on eliminating threats, and you'll naturally take less damage.
  • Advanced Tactics:
    • Popping Tires: If you're struggling to hit drivers or riders, shooting out a car's tires can cause it to lose control and crash, effectively removing it from the chase.
    • First-Person View: Practice with the first-person shooting view if you find it helps with precision aiming. This mission is a great way to improve your proficiency with it.

Key Takeaway: The most crucial strategy is to prioritize immediate threats, especially those with guns, and to keep trying. Your shooting skills will improve with each attempt, and you'll eventually find the rhythm needed to clear the mission.
