Need help with The Ballad Of Rocco mission in Grand Theft Auto V? Follow our quick guide to eliminate Rocco and return to the studio to complete the mission.

Alright, so you've just finished up 'Fresh Meat' and it's time to tackle 'The Ballad Of Rocco.' Just head over to the 'S' marker on your map to kick things off.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The main goal here is to Eliminate Rocco. After the initial confrontation, you'll need to chase him down.
  2. 2
    Once Rocco and his pal are dealt with, it's time to Return to the Studio to wrap up the mission.
Tips
  • To get the Gold Medal, you'll need to complete the mission within 03:00. So, skip those cutscenes and get moving!
  • For the chase, a drive-by weapon like the Micro-SMG is your best bet. Keep shooting at Rocco's car, and eventually, he'll bail out. Gun him down when he tries to run, and don't forget his friend!
  • If you want a quicker, albeit more precise, method, equip the Heavy Sniper. As soon as they try to drive off, activate Michael's special ability and go for headshots. It's a much simpler way to get it done if you're accurate.
  • Alternatively, you can shoot out the tires of Rocco's car to stop him, then run him over.

Completing this mission progresses the story. Specific rewards like cash and RP will be detailed in-game.
