In the beginning, Samson plunks you down on the gritty, dilapidated streets of Tyndalston, where nothing good ever happens, and once it does, it never lasts. You control Samson McCray, a man forced back into a world that he was trying to leave in order to save his sister from his debtors and pay off his huge debt. This game is all about staying grounded and realistic, giving you tough fights with equally fast and furious driving. In this prologue we learn the various jobs such as beatdown, takedown, delivery and contracts we can do in the game and learn the basics of what it takes to survive.
Missions
Day 1
After the introduction cutscene, you will have control of Samson. Do the tutorial bit to familiarize yourself with the controls.
Answer the phone. Its on the red wall in the next room, next to the map. It’s a call from Carter and he will give you some small time jobs. Open up the map and you will find four missions available for the day. Alternatively if you look at your UI you will see the time of the day and how much you need to pay daily. There is also an XP Bar.
So on the map you have 4 available missions that you can do in any order. You also have 2 Action Pointsper time of the day. Any mission that you do will take 2 slots and that whole time of day (Noon/Evening/Night).
Go out the front door and on to the street to find your ride on the opposite parking lot. The closest mission is “Dumbass Dookie’s Dilemma”. Select that to start. It’s the one on the far left.
