Crime Boss: Rockay City

*Note: I'm not sure if this is possible anymore. There seems to be a bug plaguing my runs; where Ranger always dies of a heart attack at the end of Overrun, instead of getting the downed state.*

These stories seem to be randomly assigned to you each run. In my experience, you only get 2 of them in a given run. In theory, you could speedrun the first few days of "Baker's Battle," testing which stories they give you; then restart if you didn't get the one(s) you were hoping for. I had to figure a lot of this out on my own with not a lot of explanation, so here's something that may be true, but I'm not sure: some characters need to be unlocked, and then purchased, in order to begin their mission chains. I am fairly confident this is how things are with Ranger specifically, because I completed his "Urban Legend," which made him available for purchase in "Baker's Battle." His first quest appeared after I purchased him for my team in a run. I'm just trying to be helpful to anyone lost like me - I don't have as many concrete answers as I would like.

This can be confusing if you don't know what to look for. When playing the campaign, background missions for five characters will randomly appear. These are marked in light yellow on your map (see screenshots below)

The story arc for Ranger contains five missions: "Pinned Down", "Danger Close", "Last Man Standing", "Overrun" and "Operation Red Star". They become available once Ranger is on your team, so keep an eye out if he's there (I did not have to purchase him, he randomly would appear on my team on day 4 or 5). When you complete the first one, the second should appear one or two days later, and so on. You will get the achievement after finishing the last mission.

Note: as of Update 11 (September 2024), this storyline is glitchy. Previous bugs where you could not pick up the diamond or would get stuck during missions have been fixed, but now the issue is that Ranger can go away after you complete one of his missions and never return. If that happens, you will need to start another playthrough and hope that Ranger appears on your team again. It took me three playthroughs with Ranger available to complete his storyline. Hopefully this will get fixed in the future.

Below are screenshots of all mission markers for Ranger. The location on the map is random, but this is what you're looking for.

*Overrun bugs were fixed in latest update*

Each time you do a Baker's Battle run, there is a chance for a couple mission sets to unlock for several different characters (each with there own achievement tied to them). Once you've completed a mission in a character's chain, you will NEVER have to do it again. Even if you fail the run before completing the whole mission chain for a given character; next time you are given that character's mission, it will be the next mission in the chain after the last one you completed. The only character mission chain I expect to re-occur during probably every run is for Wiz; because it is tied to the Hidden Vault grand heist. As a note, since I can't recall anymore, you may have to purchase a couple of these by selecting them during Boss Level-Ups - then purchasing them.
