Given by
Lester Crest
Reward
$9,000

Overview

The Hotel Assassination is the first of Lester's assassination missions in Grand Theft Auto V. Lester explains how killing the head of a company can move the stock market and asks Franklin to kill Brett Lowrey, the CEO of Bilkinton Research, as he leaves the Von Crastenburg Hotel in Richman.

Walkthrough

  1. Meet Lester near Del Perro Pier and listen to the plan.
  2. Before the job, invest in Bilkinton's rival, Debonaire, on the stock market for a big return.
  3. Drive to the hotel and choose a method: snipe Lowrey from the vantage point or plant a sticky bomb on his car.
  4. Kill Lowrey as he leaves the hotel.
  5. Escape the scene and lose the wanted level.

Tips

  • Gold medal objective: kill the target using a sniper rifle.
  • Invest all of Franklin's money in Debonaire before starting, then sell after the stock rises.
  • Wait until Lowrey stops near his car for a steady shot.
  • The sticky bomb option works if you place the bomb on Lowrey's car before he comes out.
