Bling-Bling Scramble

Payphone Mission

This mission is marked on the map with a green phone icon. Stand in the blue marker next to the ringing payphone to trigger it. The phone rings constantly after completing the mission "Sayonara Salvatore" for Asuka.

Claude answers the ringing payphone. King Courtney is on the other end. He explains his Yardie posse could do with a driver and Claude has a reputation for hot moves. Get to the waste ground opposite the stadium in a car and wait for the other hopefuls. King Courtney has men watching checkpoints all over Staunton. The first driver to a checkpoint gets a Grand, then it's on to the next stop. If you get more checkpoints than any other driver, he could have some work for Claude.

Once on foot, you need to grab a vehicle, ideally a fast one. Thankfully they're quite common on Staunton Island, so you'll be able to find a Banshee, Infernus or Cheetah on the road leading past Belleville Park outside your safehouse.

Once you've got a fast car, head to the stadium at the North of Staunton Island and you'll find a blue marker on the grass nearby.

Three competitor vehicles will arrive and park up, including a Cheetah, Patriot and Bobcat.

Shortly after, a 3 second countdown will appear on the screen.

The objective now is to speed to the marked location on the map / radar and drive through the checkpoint before the other vehicles.

It may seem like the checkpoints spawn completely randomly, however there are actually 2 different pre-defined routes which the game will randomly select when you play the mission. Ultimately they'll still feel like they spawn randomly as you won't know where the next one is going to be until the previous one is collected. If you're lucky with the traffic, you can sometimes pick up three in close proximity. The most important thing is that you get more than any other individual opponent.

There are 15 checkpoints in total meaning you're guaranteed to win with at least 8, however if the others share out their checkpoints you may be able to complete the mission with less.

Your opponents are also marked on the radar, so if a checkpoint spawns quite near to where they are, sometimes it's not even worth the effort to try and beat them to it. Just wait for someone else to collect it and hopefully it'll give you an advantage on the next one.

Once all 15 checkpoints have been collected, the mission will be over. You'll receive $1,000 for each checkpoint you collected, meaning $15,000 is the maximum you can receive as a reward, although you'd have to be insanely lucky to collect all 15 before the other drivers. I did pretty well getting 12/15!

Mission Passed!
