The Hotel Assassination #18
3.18. The Hotel Assassination
This is Lester's assassination mission, and it opens after you finish Fame or Shame. You have to clear it to move on to Blitz Play. Franklin kills Brett Lowrey, head of Bilkington Research, and the reward is $9,000.
- Buy stock before you start
- Put all three protagonists' money into Betta Pharmaceuticals on BAWSAQ. A few in-game hours after you finish the mission, or after you sleep once, it rises about 50%. After about another 24 hours, the price starts to fall.
- Put the money you made back into Bilkington Research. The recommended schedule is as follows.
- Monday: buy Betta Pharmaceuticals, finish the mission
- By Tuesday: sell Betta Pharmaceuticals
- By Friday: buy Bilkington Research
- After next Monday: sell Bilkington Research
- Meet Lester
- After Lester's text, go to the meeting spot near Del Perro Pier. Lester explains how to move the stock price and tells you the target.
- Assassination outside the hotel
- Go to the Von Crastenburg Hotel in Richman and wait for Lowrey to come out. Lester suggests two methods.
- Shoot him with a sniper rifle
- Stick a sticky bomb to Lowrey's car and blow up the car with him in it
- Get clear of the scene after the kill. If you have a wanted level, you have to lose it to finish. Afterward, Lester gives Franklin the house in Vinewood Hills.
- Gold medal
- Kill the target with a sniper rifle
- When checkout time comes, Lowrey walks out from the right. He is the only person not wearing a suit. Hit his chest, neck, or head, then leave the parking lot on the side opposite the hotel. You can also shoot from the top floor of the parking lot and go down the ramp.
- Reasons for failure
- Franklin dies or is busted
- You attack Lester
- Franklin is identified, or the guards notice because of your vehicle
- The target escapes, or you abandon the mission
