Meltdown #48

3.48. Meltdown

It opens after you finish Legal Trouble and Lamar Down. It starts as you put on a tuxedo for the premiere at Ponsonbys on Portola Drive, and at the premiere Michael learns his family is in danger, goes home, and holds off Merryweather mercenaries.

  • The tuxedo and the limousine
  • Buy a tuxedo at Ponsonbys and put it on. If you already bought one, you only have to change into it. You fail if you walk in holding a weapon, or you walk in with a wanted level and startle the clerk.
  • When you leave the shop, Jimmy arrives in a chauffeured limousine. Take the limousine to the Oriental Theater on Vinewood Boulevard, and you can skip the ride. You fail if the limousine is wrecked or the driver dies.
  • On the red carpet, Devin hints that something has happened to the family.
  • Racing home
  • Hurry back to the mansion in Rockford Hills with Jimmy. You fail if you do not save the family in time, and you also fail if you bring the police to the house.
  • Rescuing the hostages
  • Inside the house, Merryweather mercenaries are holding Amanda and Tracey hostage. A miss and the mercenary shoots the hostage, so turn Michael's special ability on and aim for the head.
  • After you save both of them, take out every mercenary inside and outside the house and go back to the family, and it is complete.
  • Until you finish the last story mission, the family and the housekeeper do not appear at the mansion. Michael and Franklin get a tuxedo, and you can watch Meltdown at the movie theater. The Big Score planning and Parenting 101 open.
  • Gold medal
  • Finish within 6 minutes 30 seconds
  • Skip every cutscene.
  • Reach top speed in any vehicle
  • On the way home, drive the Vacca along Spanish Avenue. It has far less traffic and far fewer pedestrians than Vinewood Boulevard or Eclipse Boulevard.
  • 12 headshots
  • Michael's special ability makes the fight inside the house easier.
  • Save Amanda and Tracey with headshots
  • Reasons for failure
  • Michael, Jimmy, Amanda, or Tracey dies, or Michael is busted
  • You startle the Ponsonbys clerk, the limousine is destroyed, or the limousine driver dies
  • You miss the premiere or ruin it, or you lead the police to the house
  • You fail to save the family in time, or you leave the family behind
