Shakedown - Mission Details

In 'Shakedown,' Victor Vance is tasked with extorting money from businesses or individuals, a classic criminal enterprise activity. This mission tests your ability to intimidate, engage in combat, and manage the consequences of your actions, often involving police attention.

The core of 'Shakedown' involves visiting various locations and demanding payment. You'll likely be given a list of targets or a specific area to cover. Upon arrival at each location, you'll need to confront the owner or manager and persuade them to hand over the money. This persuasion often involves a threat, which can escalate into a fight if they refuse or resist.

Key Steps and Strategies:

• Locate Targets: Use your mini-map to find the businesses or individuals you need to shake down. They are usually marked with a specific icon.
• Confrontation: Approach the target and initiate the interaction. The game will prompt you on how to proceed.
• Intimidation/Combat: If the target refuses, you'll need to use force. This can range from a quick fight to a more prolonged shootout if they have security.
• Collect Payment: Once the target is subdued or convinced, collect the money.
• Repeat: Continue this process until all targets are dealt with or the mission objective is met.

Be prepared for resistance. Many businesses will have security guards or even gang members protecting them, leading to shootouts. Having a reliable weapon like an SMG or shotgun is recommended for these encounters. After each successful shakedown, your wanted level might increase, so be mindful of the police. If you accumulate too many stars, consider finding a Pay 'n' Spray to lower your wanted level before continuing. Alternatively, you can try to evade the police by driving through alleys or using other evasive tactics.

The money earned from 'Shakedown' missions is vital for funding your operations and purchasing upgrades. Completing these missions efficiently will sificantly boost your income and help you progress in establishing your criminal empire. Remember to stay alert, as some targets might try to ambush you.
