How to Complete Traffic
1. Survive the ambush. After the opening cutscene, you’re in Paris as Price. French mafia and police forces spring a trap, kicking off a high-speed chase. Lean out and shoot the pursuers.

2. Hijack a vehicle with Valeria. Defeat the attackers and take their ride. Valeria handles some of the extra enemies that show up, so focus on the closest threats.
3. Dodge traffic and follow the van. Avoid oncoming cars in your lane and follow the van into the alley. Then follow Valeria through the alley and turn left onto the main road.
4. Fight on foot. When Valeria slips down an eastern alley, follow her. Clear the street, then follow her into the alley on the right. Expect enemy SUVs ramming through civilian traffic around the tunnel section.
5. Take the wheel. Defeat the next group and hijack another vehicle with Valeria. This time you drive. After exiting the tunnel, you’ll be on the main road, where more foes appear and Valeria deals with them.
6. The finale. A cutscene wraps things up. Price holds a knife to Valeria’s throat in the getaway car and demands the Archer. The mission closes at a desert airfield at sunset, with Laswell phoning Price to challenge his alliance with Valeria.
