Strategy:
The mission often begins with a briefing that outlines the target locations. You'll need to be prepared for combat from the outset. Utilizing a powerful weapon like an Assault Rifle or Shotgun is highly recommended for clearing out groups of enemies quickly. When it comes to destroying assets, explosives such as grenades or Molotov cocktails can be very effective, especially against multiple vehicles.
Pay close attention to the minimap for enemy positions and objective markers. Don't hesitate to use cover to your advantage during firefights. If you find yourself overwhelmed, consider using a vehicle to create distance or to ram into enemy vehicles if they are the primary targets. After completing the destruction and elimination phases, a police wanted level is almost guaranteed. Having a fast vehicle ready for a quick getaway is crucial. Consider driving through a Pay 'n' Spray to lose the heat as soon as possible.
