Payphone Hit: The CEO is a mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as one of the Payphone Hits in The Contract update. It is a Free Mode job that can be conducted in any session type by answering a ringing payphone either randomly encountered or requested by calling Franklin Clinton.
Description[]
Now, full disclosure: I did some work a while ago that gave this asshole's market value a boost. But that was before I heard what a piece of shit this fucker really is. So, when a client came to me with a proposal to make some bills off liquidating his ass, man, I said hell yeah.
Our client goin' short the fuck out of the Gold Coast Development stock... then we goin' ice this fool while he's playing at construction worker for this dumbass show. The stock tanks, our client gets rich, we get paid.
And if we make it look like he died because of some unsafe conditions on his site? Makes it even better.”
The target is at a construction site filming a reality TV show called Closet CEO. Franklin refers back to the events of The Construction Assassination when Lester had him kill Enzo Bonelli to this CEO's benefit when the Gold Coast Development stock price rose. Only he now knows that this target was just as bad as Bonelli, so has no qualms taking him out in the same way.
Locations[]
- El Burro Heights industrial area.
- Redwood Lights Track.
- Paleto Construction Company site, Paleto Bay
Construction Site Assassination Bonuses[]
Bonus Conditions[]
After receiving the target location, Franklin sends a text message spelling out the Bonus criteria. All scenarios involve creating an industrial accident.
If the red area is approached, the target will be alerted to the player's presence and will endlessly chase them in an attempt to shoot them.
Shipping Container[]
A stashed backpack is nearby on a vantage point to enable the player to snipe a shipping container being held aloft by a Dock Handler to cause it to drop on the CEO and kill him. The CEO will be wandering around the site and the player needs to wait until he walks beneath the container to shoot the marker to cause it to drop. If it misses the target, no-one on site is spooked and the CEO can then just be killed.
Gas Tank Explosion[]
A stashed backpack is nearby on a vantage point to enable the player to snipe a gas tank to cause it to explode while the CEO is nearby, killing him. The CEO will be wandering around the site and the player needs to wait until he stops near the gas tank and shoot it, causing the explosion.
Bulldozer[]
A stashed backpack is nearby on a vantage point to enable the player to snipe a bodyguard dressed as a construction worker who is sitting in a Dozer. Once the target stops to stand in the Dozer's path, killing the bodyguard causes the out of control bulldozer to run over the target.
Bonus Failure Consequences[]
A 3 star wanted level will need to be evaded.
