'''Deconstruction for Beginners''' is a mission given to [[Niko Bellic]] by [[Playboy X]] to clear a [[Castle Gardens Construction Site|construction site]] taken over by the [[Messina Family|Mafia]] and the Union. It is Playboy's first mission for Niko.


Your waypoint marker is a [[Cavalcade]] parked in an alley in Castle Gardens. Playboy X tells you to get in the car to get the weapons that have been stored there.  After getting in, a short cinematic plays and new weapons are added to your weapons cache - a sniper rifle, an AK-47, and grenades.
==Overview==
[[Playboy X]] wants a real estate developer named [[Yusuf Amir]] to be on his team. However, Amir is completely ignoring X. Therefore, in order to get in his good graces and show that he has some influential power in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era |Liberty City]], Playboy sends Niko to clear out every last Union (Mafia) tough-guy goon on the construction site seized by the Union workers from Yusuf. X believes that Yusuf will then notice that Playboy X means business.

Playboy X then gets on a nearby motorized lift platform, and instructs you to get on as well and take the platform to the top of a building. After a 20-second ride, you and Playboy reach the roof of the building, where you are told to kill three armed lookouts watching over the construction site. This is where the sniper rifle becomes useful. All three of the lookouts are standing at the top of separate scaffoldings, each at a different height.

After you shoot the lookouts, you must take the lift back to the ground and go into the construction site on foot to kill the union leaders.  Playboy X remains at the top of the building to "watch over things."  There are three union leaders, each of which is hidden amongst numerous construction materials on the site and each of which is marked with a red waypoint.  Only one union leader is marked with a waypoint at a time; once you kill the first, the next union leader will be marked.

Enter the construction site through a gate in the chain-link fence and get into cover as quickly as possible - the first union leader's armed bodyguards, who also happen to be construction workers, will starting shooting at you immediately.  The AK-47 is a useful weapon here, because many of your enemies will be too far to hit with a submachine gun or a pistol accurately.
 
 
After you kill the first union leader, Playboy X will tell you to proceed to the next one, who is located several stories above you.  There is a wooden construction ramp near the entrance to the construction site - go up the ramp until you reach the roof of a building.  This is where the second union leader and his armed bodyguards are located.  If you have taken the correct path, there should be a health pack at the top of the ramp.
 
 
A short cinematic will automatically put you into cover once you reach the roof of the building where the second union leader is located.  It will also equip your grenades as the active weapon.  You do not have to throw the grenades, although this is the "training" part of the game for grenade use.
 
 
After you kill the second union leader, follow some more ramps until you reach an adjacent building, on top of which is the final union leader you must kill.  Once you kill most of his bodyguards, he will call for reinforcements, and a second wave of armed men will arrive, as well as a helicopter.  The helicopter does not shoot you, however.
 
 
After you kill the third union leader, you will be paid and Playboy X will call to debrief you.  The reward cash is $6,500.
