The Jesse Cox side mission follows a relatively straightforward premise. Jesse has a problematic implant located in a rather sensitive area that has been subject to a factory recall. This implant is causing him a considerable amount of discomfort. To assist Jesse, your task is to transport him to a Ripperdoc for medical attention.

Slide behind the wheel and steer the vehicle, transporting Jesse directly to the Ripperdoc whose location your map conveniently pinpoints for easy navigation. As you progress, anticipate encountering various obstacles like children crossing the road and a police barricade. Your objective: skillfully navigate through these hindrances, guaranteeing a seamless and uninterrupted journey to reach the Ripperdoc.

Wait for Jesse to Call

After you’ve safely transported Jesse to the Ripperdoc, you’ll need to bide your time while he undergoes the surgery. To pass the time, wait, or engage in various activities within the game. Once the successful completion of Jesse’s operation occurs, he will personally contact you to provide the details.. This marks the conclusion of the mission, and as a reward for your assistance, you’ll receive a cash reward.

This mission involving Jesse Cox is just one of several instances where streamers and celebrities make appearances in the game. If you’re curious about other intriguing cameos, you can check out the comprehensive cameos list we’ve put together.
