Corner Kids: from the dockside ambush to the helicopter

Requirements, meeting point and equipment

After “Momma’s Boy”, the Armando and Henrique contact point becomes available in Northwood, near Xenotime Street west of Frankfort Avenue. Following the scene, enter the waiting vehicle with both friends and drive to the marked meeting at the Broker docks. During the journey you receive an Automatic Shotgun with standard ammunition and grenades. The supplied shotgun should not be treated as an explosive weapon. Restore health and armour before starting; the dependable mission supply for the later helicopter is the RPG, rather than an assumed healing point somewhere inside the dockside fight.

Read the arena before advancing

After the interrupted handover, police block the route. Gunmen occupy street-level and elevated positions, followed later by a breach through a wall. Check roof edges early rather than concentrating only on vehicles ahead. Brick stacks and solid structures beside the columns make better long-term reference points than a car under fire. Some walkthroughs use vehicles as brief intermediate cover; this route keeps clear of cars that may catch fire or explode. A few additional steps towards solid cover cost less than winning an exchange beside a fireball.

Step-by-step escape route

Clear the way with your friends. For grenades and the later launcher, an unobstructed impact area matters more than rapid continuous fire.

1. Stop in the dockside marker with all three occupants and let the scene finish. Take solid cover immediately afterwards instead of trying to drive away from the encounter.
2. Check the visible gunman at the elevated roof edge and the officers beside the first parked cruisers. Engage exposed targets from cover before stepping into the street.
3. Reserve grenades for sufficiently distant groups or vehicle positions. First check that Armando and Henrique are not between you and the landing point.
4. When the nearby street is clear, advance to the brick stacks in front of the row of columns. Use the Automatic Shotgun at short range; an available accurate pistol or SMG is easier to control against distant heads.
5. Secure the rear positions until your friends move towards the wall. Wait for their explosive charge and stand clear of the breach. Opening this wall yourself with an RPG is not required.
6. Before crossing the gap, locate officers on the roof or helipad beyond it. Remove those elevated firing lines, then check the opponents to the right at street level.
7. Continue along the cleared route and eliminate the remaining immediate threats. Use short cover changes and reload before exposed stretches instead of waiting beside a damaged car.
8. Follow the updated objective near the NOOSE transporter. The subsequent helicopter phase provides a rocket launcher at the vehicle’s rear. Collect it once the immediate area is safe.
9. Find an unobstructed angle on the attacking Annihilator. Move far enough out of cover to prevent the rocket hitting a nearby edge. A steadier flight segment or brief hover makes the shot easier; lead the target when it moves sideways.
10. After downing it, take a suitable four-door car, wait for Armando and Henrique and drive both to the Northwood destination. The helicopter kill does not complete the final journey home.

Choose weapons without confusing ammunition types

The supplied automatic shotgun works particularly well against nearby enemies emerging from cover. Shooting tiny exposed body parts across a long distance wastes ammunition and encourages prolonged exposure. Use a more precise firearm if available, or return to the shotgun after a secured approach. The explosive hazards in this route come from your grenades, the RPG and vehicles under fire. Do not aim the launcher from a position where the reticle reaches the sky but the muzzle remains behind a wall. Check your companions’ location again before changing from ordinary gunfire to an explosive attack.

Diagnose the failed phase

The wall and helicopter mark progression changes. If one fails to occur, check the preceding objective before firing explosives indiscriminately.

First completion, replays and additional scoring

Story progress requires clearing the escape route, downing the helicopter and returning with your friends. Time, damage, headshot and accuracy conditions are separate scoring goals. Grenades against vehicle cover can make a first completion easier but are not a controlled headshot strategy. After TBOGT’s main story, you can select a complete mission replay through the phone and add individual scoring criteria across different runs. Save a successful story result even when the rating is not yet 100%. Avoid turning the learning run into a simultaneous speed and precision challenge.

Questions and edition limits

Must you buy your own RPG? The intended helicopter phase supplies one. Must you destroy the wall? Your friends perform the scripted breach. Is there an exact police tally to follow? Use the current objectives and clear firing lines rather than conflicting totals in older guides. The basic route applies to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360; inputs and technical retry problems can vary by release. Restarting a stalled phase is another attempt, not a guaranteed device-specific fix. This walkthrough claims no personal playthrough or comprehensive patch testing.
