Walkthrough

1. 1

   The briefing

   Jason and Lucia meet their client in an airport lounge in daylight. Press identifies her as Petra Navarro, chief operating officer of Megamundo, described in previews as the home of a satirical television channel.

2. 2

   The pickup

   After dark the pair collect Andrés de León from a private jet on a lit apron, and the convoy runs into Vice City. The Megamundo tower appears at 20:32 as a night shot from above, MEGAMUNDO across a curved facade.

3. 3

   The party turns

   The venue is several floors of neon, balloons and evening dress, and it is where the job stops being a job about standing around. Masked, armed men come through. Jason works the offices with a rifle while Lucia is cut off elsewhere in the building.

4. 4

   The phone call

   At 23:52 Jason calls Lucia mid-firefight and the call lands on screen as "Lucia: GUYS EVERYWHERE". Seconds later her own message reads "After Czr, he's in saferoom, 10+ guys, auto weps, explosives, sound military…". Previews describe her fighting hand to hand in an evening dress and the sequence ending down a lift shaft.

5. 5

   You go in without your guns

   The detail that makes this job different is that the pair are disarmed at the door. Game Rant's write-up of the video reports the characters mentioning that the guards took their weapons, which is why the fighting that follows starts hand to hand and with whatever is lying around. Previews describe Lucia driving a hairpin into an attacker's eye and using the dress she is wearing as an advantage. Jason picks up firearms once the raid supplies them. If you were looking for the sequence that shows GTA 6 has melee worth the name, it is this one.

   Split up, and the phone becomes a weapon

   For most of the raid the two are on different floors, which is the game putting its own switching system under pressure. At 23:52 Jason rings Lucia in the middle of a firefight and the call lands on screen as a message card, and previews describe the call working as a distraction for the man closing on her. It is the clearest hint that the phone is not only a menu: in a mission where you are separated, contacting the other protagonist is an action with consequences rather than flavour.
