The Contract Payphone Hit: The Cofounder Assassination Guide

A detailed guide on how to complete all variants of The Cofounder Payphone Hit, focusing on achieving the assassination bonus for maximum payout.

This is a walkthrough guide for The Cofounder Payphone Hit in GTA Online, a mission from The Contract DLC, is available. It covers all three assassination bonus variants, and shows exactly how to eliminate the target.

The target is always in a motel with a prostitute, and you can kill them as soon as they leave their hotel room. Or, you can opt to go for one of the following variants and secure the assassination bonus by completing the optional challenge.

Variant 1: Ignition Bomb

The first variant requires you to take out the target using an explosives modification installed on their car.

First, make your way to the target's hotel location. You will get a checkout timer at the bottom-right corner indicating the time before the target leaves their hotel room.

Get into the vehicle, and drive it to the nearest Los Santos Customs. You will automatically get a waypoint to the closest Los Santos Customs as soon as you enter the vehicle.

At the Los Santos Customs, rig the vehicle with an 'ignition bomb' for $500.

After that, drive it back and park it in the same spot.

Now, wait for the timer to run out, and the target will come out of their hotel room.

Variant 2: Molotov Fire

In the second variant, you need to set the target's car on fire while they are inside it.

The easiest way to do this is to use molotov.

Go to the target's car and wait for them to check out.

Wait for the target to sit in the vehicle and start throwing Molotovs at them.

Do not throw them before they sit inside and close the car door. Otherwise, they will start running away from the car and you.

When you throw the first Molotov, the chances are that the target will crash the vehicle, causing them to get stuck in a spot, making it easier for you to throw Molotovs at the car.

Throw a couple of Molotov, and the car will explode.

Variant 3: Scoped Rifle Engine Shot

In the third variant, you need to use a scoped rifle to blow up the engine of the target's car while they are inside it.

When you reach the motel, you will get a white bag icon on your mini-map. This is the location of the scoped rifle.

It is usually found on rooftops around the motel. Climb up on the roof and interact with the bag to get your scoped rifle.
