Hung Out to Dry is a mission given to Niko Bellic by Vladimir Glebov to collect protection money.

Walkthrough

Head over to the Comrades Bar in Hove Beach. Vlad is talking to Mallorie until Niko walks in and then Vlad promptly hangs up. After the cutscene is over, drive around the block to the laundromat. Head into the front and watch the cutscene as the laundromat's owner tosses a can full of clothes at Niko as a means of stopping his pursuit.

The owner runs out the back and flees in a Laundromat van. Chase him on foot until you see the two cars (a Blista Compact and a Sentinel). Pick one and hotwire it. Drive after the laundromat owner and ram into his van until he pulls over and gives up the fight. Niko confirms that Vlad will soon get his money. The mission is passed with a phone call to Vlad.

Notes

  • If the player fails the mission, Niko will call Vlad to inform that he didn't catch the laundromat owner. Vlad responds in anger, stating that the laundromat owner will be a source of trouble for Vlad. As usual, the player may still retry the mission anyway.
  • Stealing the Laundromat van parked behind the laundromat, which would had been used by the laundromat owner to flee, would result in the player failing the mission, as the laundromat owner has been "spooked and escaped out the front". This is one of only a handful of means of acquiring the van.
