Friend Request
Michael infiltrates the Lifeinvader headquarters under Lester's direction and plants malware on a prototype phone, triggering an on-air incident during Jay Norris's press event.
Overview
Friend Request is Michael's first major job planned by Lester Crest. Michael poses as a maintenance worker, moves through Lifeinvader's offices, and installs surveillance malware on an unreleased smartphone. The mission satirizes social media culture and corporate tech launches. Completing it causes Lifeinvader's in-game stock price to drop, which players can use for market trading strategies.
Walkthrough
1. Meet Lester and receive the infiltration plan. 2. Enter Lifeinvader and acquire the janitor disguise. 3. Navigate offices and avoid security while reaching the demo room. 4. Plant the device on the prototype phone. 5. Escape the building before security locks down the floor.
Fail Conditions
The mission fails if Michael dies, if security detects the player before planting the device, or if the escape objective is not reached after the hack is installed.
Trivia
Lifeinvader (LIFE) shares on the BAWSAQ exchange decline after this mission completes, a change visible on the in-game stock app.
