Pulling Favors
Overview
Client: Tonya
For: Franklin Clinton
Unlock: finish the story mission Repossession
Type: a Strangers and Freaks side mission, but it has to be finished to continue the story.
How it plays
- A mission to learn the tow truck and haul an abandoned car to the impound.
- Grab a tow truck off the road first, and the drive can go straight to the job and skip the impound.
- Block the passenger door Tonya uses. Tonya then comes around to the driver's side, pulls Franklin out, and moves to the passenger seat.
Mechanics and cautions
- Go too fast toward the impound and the hooked car can fall off.
- Franklin's special ability does not apply to the towed car, so a sharp turn can pull it off the hook.
Unlocks after you finish
- Tonya is added to Franklin’s contacts.
- Story mission Chop becomes available. Marriage Counseling becomes available after the story mission Father/Son.
- Strangers and Freaks: Paparazzo, and Shift Work (night only).
- If Complications is already done: Grass Roots - Michael and Exercising Demons - Michael.
- Tonya's next tow mission, Pulling Another Favor, becomes available.
- Wait a bit after the mission and Tonya argues with JB on the phone.
Gold medal
