Don’t Mess With Dre walkthrough
In Don’t Mess With Dre, Imani narrows Johnny’s position to Textile City. You find him at the Mirror Park Railyard, but he tears off in a Dominator GTT and leaves his gunmen to fight you, including several carloads in Granger 3600LXs. Imani then warns that Johnny is calling for a plane, so you race to LSIA. Franklin adds that Dre is on his way and wants to confront Johnny himself, so do not finish him off.
At the airport, Johnny’s car is parked outside the Devin Weston Jet Charter Hangar. The front doors are closed, so use the side door. More gunmen pour out, including a carload from the cargo bay of an RM-10 Bombushka. Johnny waits on a platform with a Pump Shotgun. Incapacitate him and drag him outside.
Don’t Mess With Dre objectives
- Go to Johnny Guns’ last known location and find him.
- Take out the hired gunmen.
- Go to LSIA and enter the hangar by the side door.

The ending and rewards
