The mission begins with Tommy joined by Paulie and Sam as the trio collect overdue payments from local businesses. The first two stops are relatively uneventful, but things heat up once the group leaves town for a stop at a rustic gas station in the outer regions of Lost Heaven. An injured Paulie stumbles outside in the wake of a gunshot, revealing that all didn't go as planned as Tommy took advantage of his smoke break outside. It is soon revealed that Sam is still inside and is beaten for information. Given Paulie's injured condition, it's up to Mr. Angelo to save his companion.
The best approach in Part XNUMX is stealth since Tommy has yet to pack the big guns. Follow the building to the left then go up on the wood covered with white fabric leading to the second floor. Quietly subdue the enemy on patrol. Enter the building through the only door available and you'll find yourself staring down a hallway with five doors.
Enter the first door on the left, which is already open. In the back left corner of the room, there is a shotgun sitting on the dresser. There are only six shots loaded with no reserve ammo, but you can quickly fix that. Exit the room to the left and cross the hallway diagonally to the other open door. An ammo box sits on top of a dresser next to a lamp. Charge up with twelve more shots.
Now is the time to start cleaning the house. Go back to the start of the hallway and open the isolated door on the right. Enjoy surprising the compromised thug with a good dose of buckshot. The Patrol Guard in the backyard (which you could have also silently eliminated earlier) and the main room below you are the only remaining opposition. I would recommend diving behind the bar downstairs and letting the shotgun wipe out the room with ease. The rogue's handguns and revolvers won't prove any match.
Harnessing that devastating firepower definitely keeps the balance in Tommy's favor, even on more difficult difficulties.
