How to Complete Riding Shotgun

Care when Riding on the Roof

Careful on Top
While you have access to more weapons and have a better view of your pursuers, you're left out and vulnerable on the roof so always keep an eye on your health to ensure you're not downed while out there.

Once you're health is getting low, enter the car again to heal up!

Destroy Enemy Cars

Destroy Enemy Cars
Not only does destroying enemy cars stop them from chasing you, they also restore health to your vehicle!

Use the Shotgun

Use the Shotgun
Dealing with multiple vehicles at once is overwhelming. To get rid of them as quickly as possible, especially at close range, use the shotgun to blast them away.

This gun can easily take down a car if given the chance.

Repeat When Done

Repeat Missions
Didn't finish objectives? Feel like grinding for more cash and EXP? Then you're in luck! You can easily do all those things by repeating the Side Hustle once again.

There is no limit to the number of times you can play this out! Just look for any Side Hustle with the repeat icon and trigger it again!
