Overview
The Ballad of Rocco is a short Michael mission in Grand Theft Auto V. Michael arrives at Backlot City to find Rocco Pelosi and his associate Gianni attacking Solomon Richards, and chases them down. Solomon asks Michael to make sure the two men never bother him again. It ends Rocco's attempts to muscle in on Solomon's film for good and leaves Michael free to focus on finishing Meltdown.
Walkthrough
- Arrive at the studio as Rocco and Gianni flee in Rocco's red Fugitive.
- Chase them through the city.
- Wreck their car or shoot them down, then kill both men.
- Optionally return to Solomon's office to see the film's opening credits listing Michael as a producer.
Tips
- Gold medal objective: finish within 3:00.
- Shoot at the car's tires or driver to end the chase quickly.
- If you lose them, follow the red marker on the radar.
- Accepting Solomon's invitation afterwards is optional but adds a short scene.
- Rocco and Gianni are in the same car, so a few well-aimed shots or a hard ram at a junction can end the mission almost immediately.
- Michael's special ability helps hit the driver while chasing.
