Kidnapping
Grab a man in the city, bring him to the questioning room at the docks and hand the tape to the boss.
The first heist, known by every character. The boss on Cayo Perico wants a man brought to his questioning room and the questioning recorded on tape. Pay: $6,000 dirty money for the tape, split across the crew.
How it works
Take the job
Bring a gun and a car. Talk to the boss on Cayo Perico (E) and choose Take the job. Everyone standing near the boss at that moment (except police) is on the crew and shares the pay.
Grab the man
Drive to the crosshair on your map (one of three spots in the city). Aim your gun at him until he puts his hands up, walk up and press E to put the headbag on. Park next to him and aim at the car: he gets in.
Question him
Drive him to the questioning room at the docks (chair icon). Press E to take him out, then follow the E prompts until he talks.
Hand in the tape
Take the tape from the camera, check it on the laptop, and bring it to the boss: Hand over the tape. This finishes the heist and unlocks the Art Heist.
The heist fails if the man dies or you move too far away from him. Only one crew can use the questioning room at a time.
