Complete Grand Theft Auto VI Part 165 walkthrough, including how to rescue Lamar and get the 100% score.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you are still inside a vehicle, stay there to make things easier.
  2. 2
    Michael will alert others that his position is compromised. Quickly switch to him, equip your Combat MG, and kill any Ballas threatening him.
  3. 3
    Once the Ballas are gone, you will auto-switch back to Franklin. Take Lamar back to the neighborhood.
  4. 4
    To start "Going In Through the Back Door", follow the GPS path which winds through the center of the state, near Stab City.
  5. 5
    Just before the turnoff to Stab City, veer left off the road onto the railroad tracks and speed north.
  6. 6
    The tracks lead directly behind the Sawmill. At the Sawmill, drop down into the lower area at the southeast corner of the facility.
  7. 7
    This action will automatically alert the Ballas. Michael and Trevor will be in position and begin their attack.
  8. 8
    Use your Micro SMG to take down a couple of Ballas from your vehicle before the snipers appear.
  9. 9
    Switch to Michael and snipe the snipers before switching back to either Franklin or Trevor.
  10. 10
    Rescue Lamar and kill the remaining Ballas.
  11. 11
    Once the Ballas are gone, return to your modded Buffalo, get back onto the train tracks, retrace your path to Senora Road, and return to the neighborhood.
  12. 12
    Regardless of the method used, returning to the neighborhood will trigger a (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)).
  13. 13
    After the (cutscene), Franklin and Lamar argue about friendship and loyalty. Franklin leaves but encounters Steve and Dave from the F.I.B. (Federal Investigation Bureau).
  14. 14
    They want Franklin to kill Trevor when the time is right, further upsetting Franklin.
  15. 15
    The mission is successfully completed after the (cutscene) finishes.
Tips
  • For the 100% score, aim for 18 (headshots), maintain 70% (accuracy), kill an enemy with all three characters (Three Way), and complete the mission within 13 minutes and 30 seconds (Time).
  • The Back Door Method is an excellent way to save time as it follows a direct route to and from the Sawmill.
  • A shortcut near the beginning can be taken: head up Baytree Canyon Road, find the drainage channel from the "Caida Libre" mission, get behind the guard rail just before the channel, enter it, and go straight to Senora Road, then turn north.
  • You lose $50 (given to Lamar). Ensure you have at least $50 in your account if you invested all your money into FlyUS.
  • If you end up with negative money, you may need to attack pedestrians or find the Banning Hidden Package near the mission's end to regain positive funds. A recent patch may have fixed the negative money issue.
  • You will receive a text from Jimmy about the movie premiere. Switch to Michael to start the next mission, "Meltdown".
  • For "Meltdown", start at Ponsonbys, buy a Tuxedo (it will be put on a card if you are broke), and then you will be taken to the theater by a limo.
  • Go on the Red Carpet. When Devin shows up and mentions your wife is in trouble, take the fast car parked behind the limo and speed home within the two-minute (timer).
  • Upon arriving home, switch to your Combat MG and head inside (this stops the (timer)). Amanda is fighting a goon on the stairs; use your (Special) for a (headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill)).
  • Switch off your (Special) and go to Tracey's room. Use your (Special) again for another (headshot).
  • Clear the house of Merryweather goons using your Assault Shotgun. Start with the one coming up the stairs, then go downstairs to kill the five there. They are armored, so multiple shots are required.
