“Hey, you know how there's a time when in every story about a leader taking power when they gotta, like you know, take out everybody against them? Well, sometimes even disappointed wannabe-ass leaders who ain't ever going to take power got to do that shit too... 'cause otherwise they'll get killed along with everybody else they ever knew.”

— Lamar Davis

Trivia

The name of the mission is a reference to the saying "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
A glitch can occur after killing the last target, when the timer keeps going down and the objective marker won't appear, rendering it impossible to complete the mission.
One of the Vagos targets is a guy named Edgar Carlos, he might be the very same Edgar who texts the player after completing several turf attacks consecutively.
