Variant 1: Police Chase

In this variant, you'll be tasked to pursue the target in a police car until they crash their vehicle.

It is pretty easy to do. The first thing you must do is find a cop car. You can either go directly to the nearest police station (if you know the location, of course) or wait a minute into the mission, and the game will automatically source the vehicle for you.

The game located vehicle will appear once the timer hits 14:00 min. It will appear as a yellow circle with a question mark on your map. It shows the general region where you can find the vehicle.

Here is one of our favorite locations where we always find a cop car parked right outside the station.

Once you have the vehicle, drive to the target and stay within the intimidation region (a red circle marked on your mini-map).

You will notice an intimidation bar at the bottom-right corner of your screen. As long as you're inside the region, the level of this bar will increase. Fill the bar to cause a car crash and assassinate the target.

Variant 2: Vagos Lowrider Driveby

In the second variant, you need to take out the target using a drive-by weapon whilst in a Vagos lowrider.

The game will give you the location of the Vagos lowrider, drive to the location and steal the bright-yellow vehicle.

Now, drive to the target and just eliminate them using any one of your driveby weapons, such as a micro-SMG.

Variant 3: Truck Cab Ram

The final variant requires you to destroy the target's vehicle using a truck cab. The truck cab will be sourced at the construction site.

Go to the yellow-marked region and get into the cab.

Drive it to the target and keep ramming their vehicle until they eventually crash the vehicle.
