KnoWay Out Mission 1: Negative Press Walkthrough

Once you've received the first call from Avi Schwartzman, you're ready to start the KnoWay Out missions. After that initial call, you will be directed to a second payphone, which you can find by looking for the "A" icon on your map.

Once you answer the call at this payphone, your first mission, "Negative Press," will begin immediately.

This mission is quite simple but a bit tedious. First, you need to make your way to the KnoWay depot and eliminate the enemies inside. It’s up to you whether you want to go in guns blazing or take a stealthier approach, but the silent route is faster and much safer.

Avoid the enemies’ cones of vision and take them out with headshots using a suppressed weapon.

Always go for headshots to ensure a one-shot kill.

Once you’ve taken out the enemies, head inside one of the KnoWay test pods and take control of the KnoWay taxi. Exit the depot using the taxi, and you’ll receive a set of tasks you must complete while controlling it to essentially damage the KnoWay company’s reputation.

However, there is one task that some players may get stuck on and that is reaching a height of 30 ft in the air. The objective itself is simple, but many players struggle to find a suitable spot to make the jump. To complete this task instantly, head to the location shown on the map below and drive off the gap and you will reach the required height without any issues.

After completing the tasks, you will need to destroy KnoWay billboards and taxis around the city. This part is also quite easy. For the billboards, each one has a ramp beside it, so simply drive off the ramp and into the billboard to destroy it. For the taxis, you only need to ram into them at high speed. If you are fast enough, a single collision is usually enough to take them out.

After destroying the billboards and the taxi, you will then need to destroy the one you are controlling. You can either drive it into deep water or ram it into a wall to deplete its health, which you can check in the bottom right corner of the screen. Once the taxi is destroyed, you will exit the test pod.

Now you just need to destroy the remaining KnoWay taxis at the depot. Once you have taken out the rest, exit the depot and leave the area. After that, you will need to lose the cops.
