Paris is the the first Challenge Mission available. The aim is to complete three jobs for each stage and advance to the next one. it was released on April 24, 2010, and it requires the player to add one member to their mafia in order to participate. The first stage was unlocked on April 26, 2010. Prior to that date, players can obtain Parisian Maps (needed for the jobs) from the event itself and from doing jobs, fighting, and robbing.
As all limited time jobs, you only have to complete every job once. So there aren't any job mastery levels like in NY, Cuba, Moscow (3) or Bangkok (4).
Jobs
Background
You've been hired to steal the Mona Lisa! A wealthy art collector wants to add the Mona Lisa to his collection, and has tasked you with “acquiring” it. Each chapter, you'll be given 3 new jobs to master, each with an exclusive unique item reward should you complete all the jobs. These jobs will require a special item, Parisian Maps, to complete. You can get these from this Challenge Mission page every day, as well as through doing jobs, fighting and robbing in other cities.
Job Heat Meter
You'll need to be careful doing jobs during this Challenge Mission, as the French authorities are on your trail. Each time you do a Paris job, you'll increase the heat meter. The higher the heat meter, the tougher the job is to complete. If you lay low for a few hours, the job meter will cool down, and you can more safely complete the mission. The heat meter resets every 8 hours, so if you take your time and plan well, you'll pull off the heist of a lifetime!
