Payphone Hit: The Cofounder 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[]
But now they got a chance of a new relaunch to turn it all around. But here's where we come in: his cofounder still clean as they come, but he can't do shit while this degenerate fuck has the reins. So we goin' arrange for him to have a lil' accident. The cofounder takes over, and then the stock prices pick up, which means our client's goin' make a big fuckin' bank, and we get paid.
We got the target at the motel with a nasty-ass prostitute right now. Go put his ass out of his misery.
The target is at a motel with a prostitute and can be killed as soon as he exits the room before he gets into his Mariachi Tornado.
There is a 5 minute countdown until the target leaves the room with the prostitue. After he leaves, the player has another 5 minutes to complete the hit. Approaching the target before he gets in his car, armed or not, will scare him, failing the assassination method bonus. If the target is already driving away from the motel, players can still chase him and complete the assassination within the 5 additional minutes.

Bonus Conditions[]
After receiving the target location, Franklin sends a text message spelling out the Bonus criteria. All scenarios involve destroying the Tornado while the target is in it.
The player has the initial 5 minutes to set up the bonus hit criteria.
Fire[]
Upon arrival, the player is instructed to use a specific marked equipment stash to be able to set the Tornado on fire after the target gets inside. Players are free to use their own supplies though, such as Jerry Can fuel or Molotov Cocktails.
Explosives[]
The player needs to take the Tornado to a nearby Los Santos Customs branch and install an Ignition Bomb or Remote Bomb and return it within five minutes before the target checks out. As the car is a beater variant, the player will need to pay a small repair fee first. Planting a Sticky Bomb on the Tornado and detonating it after the cofounder gets in will also satisfy the requirement without having to visit an auto shop or pay any money.
Scoped Rifle[]
A stash with a Marksman Rifle will be nearby to use to shoot the Tornado's engine. Players are free to use their own Sniper Rifle or Marksman Rifle.
Should the player have a Marksman Rifle Mk II in their active loadout and choose to use the stash, their weapon will switch to a machine gun instead, in which case the player will need to check that a sniper rifle is being held instead.
Bonus Failure Consequences[]
A 3 star wanted level will need to be evaded.

Bugs/Glitches[]
- For the assassination bonus method of setting the target's car on fire, the on-screen instructional message tasks the player with picking up the stash nearby, but there is no marked stash icon on the Radar. This is due to a bug that prevents it from spawning.
- All parked NPC cars except a Taxi at The Pink Cage Motel will spawn painted black[1].
