Bulgarin: "You have heard about Liberty City Rampage? The owner still will not accept my offers. I have been more than reasonable."
Luis: "You mean after you killed his special team of cops? That's weird... You want me to negotiate with him?"
Bulgarin: "No. The time for negotiations is over. Do what needs to be done in his boardroom. Send a message."
Ray Bulgarin explaining the situation to Luis.

Dropping In is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given by Ray Bulgarin to Luis Fernando Lopez.

Description[]

Ray orders Luis to work with his henchman, Timur. He tells Luis Marki Ashvilli won't sell him the Liberty City Rampage hockey team, likely due to the events of the previous mission) so he plans on murdering him to make the owner's position available. He sends Luis and Timur to the Higgins Helitours Heliport where there is a Maverick waiting and tells them to fly high above Middle Park so Luis can parachute onto the roof MeTV building to silently infiltrate the building to kill Ashvilli.

Aftermath[]

Weazel News (Radio)[]

"He wanted the rampage and he got it; Carnage today after a bloody shootout at the offices of controversial Liberty City Rampage owner Marki Ashvilli. Mr. Ashvilli, who constantly denied links to organized crime was left dead along with several of his employees after a violent clash. The assailant appears to have escaped by means of a daring base jump into the street, but exact details are slow to emerge. What is clear is that this is a serious blow for the hockey team, who lost their controversial owner and are plagued with rival claims over ownership of the franchise as well as documented hostile takeover attacks. The Rampage are now likely to be the subject of a series of court cases, as Mr. Ashvilli's complex business affairs are untangled by the state."

"He wanted the Rampage, and in the end he got it. Carnage today after a bloody shootout at the offices of highly controversial Liberty City Rampage owner Marki Ashvilli. Mr. Ashvilli, who had long denied links to organized crime was left dead along with and several of his employees after a violent clash. The assailant appears to have escaped by means of a daring base jump into the street, but exact details are slow to emerge."

"What is clear is that this is a serious blow for the hockey team, who lost their controversial owner, and are plagued with rival claims over ownership of the franchise as well as documented hostile takeover attempts. The Rampage are now likely to be the subject of a series of court cases as Mr. Ashvilli's complex business affairs are untangled by the state. Hockey fans just wished thay had got to watch the shootout as it sounded a lot more interesting than the sport."

Trivia[]

  • The beacon on top of the MeTV building may be hard to see after jumping out of the chopper, however, it is the only building in the vicinity with an obviously visible helipad.
  • If the player heads for the elevator instead of jumping out the window, Luis will be stuck in a small corridor with endlessly respawning enemies.
  • When Luis jumps out of the helicopter to land on the building, it will spin down to the ground with Timur inside, though this doesn't fail the mission. This is likely a developer oversight.
  • If the player doesn't get on the truck quickly (should they miss the landing), Timur will abandon Luis, thus failing the mission.
  • This mission has several references to the movie Die Hard.
  • This is the only mission given by Ray Bulgarin where his sister Galina's voice is not heard.
  • After this mission, Yusuf Amir calls Luis and his final mission For the Man Who Has Everything is unlocked.
  • The way Luis and Timur stop speaking in the car is very similar to a scene in Fargo, when Peter Stormare's character isn't speaking and Steve Buscemi's character says "total silence". The characters in question are also both criminals.
    • Luis also quotes the total silence line.
  • There is a glitch inside of the building. Enter the room with the radio, there will be a metal trolley with some cardboard boxes on it by the door. Go near them, and press designated "enter" button. Luis will climb onto an invisible ladder and crawl through the ground. The only way to escape is to commit suicide.
  • The way Timur accompanies Luis is similar to Dimitri accompanying Niko in the Grand Theft Auto IV mission Do You Have Protection?
