The Precinct: Fine Work Guide

AntMag.NET

Hey there! So, you're diving into The Precinct and looking to nail that 'Fine Work' gig? Don't sweat it, I've got your back. This mission can be a bit tricky if you don't know what you're doing, but with a few pointers, you'll be in and out like a ghost.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start out in the dimly lit back alley behind the target building. Your first objective is to get inside without raising any alarms. Keep an eye on the patrolling guard near the dumpster – he does a predictable loop.
2
Wait for him to turn his back, then sprint to the fire escape ladder on the side of the building. Climb up quickly; there's a brief window before he circles back.
3
Once you're on the rooftop, you'll see a skylight. This is your entry point. You'll need to use your lockpicks here. If you mess up the lockpicking sequence, the noise might alert someone inside, so take your time.
4
Inside, you're in a ventilation shaft. Crawl forward until you reach a grate overlooking the main office. This is where the sensitive documents you need are located.
5
Carefully remove the grate – try not to make too much noise. Drop down into the office. The documents are in a locked filing cabinet.
6
Use your lockpicks again on the filing cabinet. This is the trickiest part. There are usually two guards in this room, one at a desk and one patrolling. You need to time your lockpicking when both are looking away or are out of sight.
7
Once the cabinet is open, grab the documents. Don't linger!
8
Your exit is the same way you came in, but be extra cautious. The guard might have changed his patrol route slightly.

Tips

Always check your minimap for guard patrol routes before making a move.
If you get spotted, don't panic. You can often break line of sight by ducking behind desks or using the shadows. However, getting caught means you'll likely have to restart the checkpoint.
Invest in better lockpicks if you're struggling. They make the process faster and more forgiving.
Listen for audio cues – footsteps, conversations, or alarms can tell you a lot about what's happening.
The documents are crucial. Make sure you grab them before attempting to leave. Missing them means mission failure.

Completing 'Fine Work' successfully will net you a decent chunk of cash and reputation, plus it unlocks the next stage of your investigation into the precinct's corruption.
