Above the Law is an opportunity available for the Landslide bonus mission. It is used in order to assassinate Marco Abiatti without raising suspicion.
Background story[]
Some bodyguards can be found near the apartment containing the ICA Safehouse talking about how they need to find a guy by the name of Salvatore Bravuomo, as Abiatti would like to talk to him.
Description[]
Bravuomo, a local lawyer, appears to have documents that can expose Abiatti as the fraud he really is.
Salvatore Bravuomo, a local attorney, has allegedly gotten his hands on evidence that could sink Abiatti's political career. Abiatti, a firm believer that all men can be bought, wants to meet this Bravuomo face-to-face. The attorney, however, was not born yesterday and has wisely gone into hiding.
Instructions[]
- 1. Find the lawyer Salvatore Bravuomo.
- 2. Talk to a bodyguard.
- 3. Go to the waiting room.
Guide[]
Getting started[]
The opportunity's starting point is located near the building that holds the ICA Safehouse. The player will need to eavesdrop on two bodyguards talking about a lawyer then need to find for Abiatti to talk to.
Becoming Italian Saul Goodman[]
The first instruction is to find the lawyer. Salvatore can be found hiding in the bathrooms near the stairwell to the Ice Cream Shop, inside of a locked bathroom. The door can either be unlocked by grabbing the key off of the security guard found nearby, using one of the various Lockpicks or breaking it open with either a crowbar or the ICA Titanium Crowbar acquired from Whittleton Creek Mastery Level 18, however the latter options will arouse suspicion from the security guard and two men near the mirror. After entering the bathroom, the player will need to knock out Bravuomo and take his disguise.
Attending the meeting[]
After disguising yourself as a walking talking Breaking Bad reference, the player will then need to find a bodyguard, specifically the ones guarding the entrance to the tower. Upon talking to the guards, they will escort the player to Bravuomo's waiting room to wait for Abiatti to get to his office. It is recommended that the player doesn't bring any illegal items, like a gun or knife to the waiting room, as the player will need to be frisked before entering Salvatore's office, however if the player forgets, they can use the nearby bathroom to hide anything illegal objects. After passing the frisk zone, the mission story will be completed.
Challenge possibilities[]
While taking this opportunity, there are six challenges that can be unlocked following this mission story, being Straight Shot, Piano Man or Tasteless, Traceless if the player waits for Abiatti to tell his guard to wait outside (allowing them to either shoot him with a gun that pasts by frisk zones, garrote him with Fiber Wire or inject him with some lethal poison), Someone Could Hurt Themselves and 47 Chandeliers if the player heads up to the security room to drop the chandelier on him, and How About a Magic Trick? if the player attends the meeting with Abiatti and waits for him to face Bravuomo's desk.
During the opportunity you will also complete the I Object! discovery challenge, as well as the Above the Law feats challenge (however the player will need to attend the meeting with Abiatti). If it's your first time killing Marco, you will also complete The Politician targets challenge. Finally, the player can unlock either Arrivederci or Driving into the Sunset if they grab the speedboat or car keys before leaving.
This opportunity is a good way to take out Abiatti when going for challenges such as No Evidence or Silent Assassin.
