| Located in the office district at the center of Virtua City. The area is filled with many skyscrapers and company buildings. One of these, a pharmaceutical company conducting cell and genetic research in their cutting-edge laboratory, is overtaken by an armed group in the dead of night.
The Virtua Cops' mission is to take control of the building and apprehend the culprits. Flown in by helicopter and dropping from above, they use plastic bombs to make an entrance to to the facility at the exhibition hall on the 72nd floor[5].

| Begins at the VC Bank on 16th Ave, the most powerful bank in Virtua City. In the mid-afternoon, an armed force with clear combat training storms the bank. The Virtua Cops team up with the VCPD's assault team, with instructions to divert attention and capture the ringleader[5].

Difficulty: Hard | |
| Located at The Military Base on the outskirts of Virtua City, which houses the air defense Scramblers, a tank unit designed for urban warfare, and is rumoured to also house top-secret next generation tanks. One night during heavy rain, all communications are lost with the base. With no outside attack confirmed, it is suspected to have been a coup. The Virtua Cops (accompanied by Janet) must infiltrate the base through the underground waterways and report back in secret, but are cleared to respond appropriately to hostilities[5].
