Roughhouse Rafael Mission Walk Through

Finally the Mission we have all been waiting for.  At this time not all accounts have it and there is no page for it on the Current Events Module. You can't miss it on your Mission Bar as the annoying , yellow flashing  "Check Mission" sign is in your face. There are only four parts to this Mission and the rewards are hardly worth the effort. You will need to complete Part Two to unlock the Boss Fight combo or you won't be able to get the achievement. If you use the combo before it's unlocked in your account, it won't count.


Part One
Black and Blue
There isn't much to Part One and the loot reward ins't much either.
Part Two
The Achilles Heel
UPDATE: A few hours after the Mission was released, the requirements for looting Cracks Of The Bats and Knife Slashes were reduced to 5 each. There are still players who are unable to loot any of the consumables. 
Players are reporting that the Knife Slashes drop best in Brazil. Activate the Lockpick bonus and they will count as double.
Part Two contains the information we all have been waiting for. When you complete it, you get the third code for the Boss Fight Event. It's not easy because you have to loot 12 Cracks of the Bat from robbing and 15 Knuckle Punches from fighting. From my post yesterday on the drop rates, you know it will take a while and frustrate those players who aren't dropping anything. Fortunately, we can share the code. Once you get the reward of a code, you need to go to the Boss Fight Combo Page to view it.  The code is Bat + Bat + Knuckles + Bat. There is no option to share the link in the news feeds like we saw with the two other combos.
Most players, myself included, got the Rafael Boss Weak achievement as soon as they collected the rewards for Part Three and unlocked the Mission Combo. It wasn't necessary for me to even use it.
Part Three
Bomb Shop
There is only one objective in Part 3. You need to collect 40 Canister Bombs from jobs, fighting or robbing. The choice is yours. If you don't want to use any energy or stamina, you can send 40 Canister Bombs to one of your mafia members. If you don't have any to send, request them from somebody who has completed Part 3 of the Mission. They aren't good for anything. Instructions for how to do this are available on the post above this one. Players with a lot of energy and stamina should be fine picking them up through normal game play and shouldn't need to do this.
I did some mini drop rates on these and here is rough estimate on the costs. The Canister Bombs didn't show up on the robbing log but I started with 16 and completed the Mission. From this data, it would appear the robbing is the cheapest way to go. Remember all tasks in this objective must be done in New York.
You get 5 Cracks of the Bat and 5 Shotgun Blasts as the loot rewards.
Part Four
Dispatch
Part Four is a kill two birds with one stone. The stone is a short Brawler run. Win 19 fights in New York and ice 3 opponents and your done. The loot rewards are 5 Knife Slashes and 3 Knuckles Punches. Wonder why they got cheap with the Knuckles Punches? This is it for the Mission.
