Watch a short video walkthrough of this mission.

Brief[edit]

Toni has left a letter for Claude that reads as follows...

"The laundry has agreed to pay - you did real good kid! Go collect the cash and bring it back here. Watch out for the Triads. They may be shoving a firecracker up your ass, but don't take no crap. Nobody I mean nobody, messes with TONY CIPRIANI!"

As the letter implies, the Triads haven't forgotten what Claude did to their vans in GTA3 Icon Tony.png Taking Out The Laundry, and want payback.

Walkthrough[edit]

There is more than one way to do this mission

Shooting Method[edit]

Once you pick up the cash, you'll be surrounded by triads armed with baseball bats. Use a gun if you have one, or just use the baseball bat. The flamethrower provided by El Burro in GTA3 Icon El Burro.png Trial By Fire is particularly effective. Regardless, make sure that they don't surround you. One of them will get into a Triad fish van. You'll need to kill him fast before he gets away. When all of them are dead, get the cash to Toni.

Running over Method[edit]

This method is slightly more complex. Drive into the pick-up zone and position your car so that you can quickly escape out of the leftmost exit. Get out of the car, get the money and drive out of there as fast as possible. Drive to the Fire station, steal a fire engine and run over/ram them until they're dead. Then get the cash to Toni.
