The Long Stretch sends Franklin and Lamar to a meeting that goes badly wrong. Most of the mission is a fighting retreat through a building full of Ballas.
Walkthrough
- After the cutscene, drive to Ammu-Nation. Buy a shotgun, and a suppressor and body armor if you can afford them.
- Drive to the meeting place, go into the building and head up the stairs. A gunfight starts.
- Take cover and clear the room, then follow Lamar as he tries to get out. Expect enemies at every corner.
- On the way down the stairs, one gunman runs up at you. Be ready for him.
- On the ground floor, use the stacks of paper as cover and keep moving. If you take too long, the building is set on fire.
- Clear the gunmen at the exit. Outside, a helicopter is in your way. Shoot it down.
- Follow Lamar across the rooftops, jump the wall at the end and get into the car.
- Lose the police, then drive back to Franklin’s house to finish.
Gold medal tips
- IGN suggests a shotgun for accuracy and a semi automatic weapon for speed. You may need a replay to get both.
- Armor from Ammu-Nation makes the minimal damage objective much easier, since you are under fire for most of the mission.
- Fight from cover and wait for enemies to lean out. That helps both headshots and accuracy.
- Keep moving on the ground floor so the fire does not catch you.
