GTA Online added more of these stalk missions on the Agency Contract DLC, usually Asset Destruction, where you must tail an enemy and then smash the place he enters.
- On the negative side, any other player can kill him. Instant fail.
- On the positive side, you can be detected, he will get spooked and rush to the building, alerting the other npcs, but the mission won't fail. However, the npc can get stuck behind walls and corners and it fails to detect and correct these problems it can't progress toward the objective. In rare occasions, the game itself will reset the npc, erase it, and replace it on the correct path, so it pays not to follow him closely, since interference from other npcs can be reset. Again, you can't rush ahead and wait for him once you ascertained the place he is going to. Failing to follow him at all also fails the mission, as usual.
