The Vice Assassination

Overview

The Vice Assassination is an optional side mission for Franklin Clinton, given by Lester Crest from a payphone in Legion Square, Downtown Los Santos. It follows The Multi Target Assassination and I Fought the Law..., and leads to The Bus Assassination. The target is Jackson Skinner, head of product development at the software company Facade, who Lester says has been selling customer data to the highest bidder. Skinner has a weakness for a particular working girl on Mutiny Road in La Puerta.

Walkthrough

1. Answer the payphone in Legion Square to receive the contract.
2. Drive to Mutiny Road and find the prostitute.
3. Watch her from a distance as she turns down several johns.
4. When she gets into Skinner's car, a Peyote, kill him; do not harm the other johns.
5. Leave the area, lose any wanted level and call Lester.

Tips

• Keep your distance; getting too close spooks her or Skinner and fails the mission.
• Leave immediately after the kill for the Clean Escape gold objective.
• Before starting, invest in Fruit stock, which jumps about 50 percent after Skinner's death; then switch to Facade stock, which recovers about 33 percent over the following two days.
• Delay this mission until after The Big Score for maximum stock profits.

Rewards and unlocks

• $5,000.
• Gold medal objectives: time, Clean Escape and money earned from the hit.
• Unlocks The Bus Assassination.
