The Getaway

Published by Psy
Last Updated

Joey's friends are robbing a bank and Claude is their getaway driver.

Cutscene
Joey is once again under the BF Injection he's working on. He says she's going to be some ride. He tells Claude to get some wheels to the safehouse at St. Marks to pick up a few friends of his. They're hittin' a bank and they need a driver. Joey gave them his word that Claude was the man, so don't screw this up. The robbery must happen before five o'clock, not a minute after.

Once you're back outside and on foot, you'll need to acquire a vehicle which can seat 4 people, which means sports cars like the Banshee are out. You can use a Mafia Sentinel if you want something reasonably quick, but I'd advise against using a police car because you'll want something which is allowed to enter the Pay 'n' Spray later in the mission. You can also grab a van like the Pony or Rumpo if you want the bank robbery to be more authentic like the movies. There's usually a van parked across the road.

Either way, when you have a vehicle with 4 seats, make your way to the robbers safehouse in Saint Mark's, marked with a pink blip on the radar, where you'll find a blue marker to park in.

Once you park up, you'll be told to sound the horn to get their attention, so hit L3.

You'll now need to get them to the bank which is right next to Punk Noodles in Chinatown.

Park in the blue marker when you arrive. You may want to turn the car around and face the way you came first to make the getaway a tiny bit easier.

Claude is told to get them out of there. There's no destination marked on the map, but the Pay 'n' Spray is being highlighted, so make your way to the Red Light District and get the car resprayed to lose the three-star wanted level you now have.

Enter the garage to have the car repaired and your wanted level cleared.

You now need to drop off the robbers at their safehouse where you picked them up, a short distance away in Saint Mark's. Park in the blue marker as you arrive.
