Is it better to take out Derrick or Francis in GTA 4?

In GTA 4's "Blood Brothers" mission, killing Derrick offers immediate rewards (money, Francis's police help) but makes the follow-up harder; killing Francis makes the next mission easier and boosts Packie's friendship but gives no money or perks, making the choice a trade-off between immediate gain/utility and narrative ease/loyalty, with many players finding Francis more corrupt and thus a better target despite the perks of sparing him.

Should I take out Francis or Derrick?

The choice in Grand Theft Auto IV between killing Derrick or Francis McReary depends on player preference for rewards, as both choices affect gameplay; killing Francis allows you to use him to clear wanted levels (though inconsistently) and gets you money/mission, while killing Derrick provides a potential money boost and a clearer path for his brother Packie, though he dies regardless. There's no single "canon" choice, but many players favor killing Francis for his hypocrisy or Derrick for a slight narrative benefit, with neither outcome drastically changing the game's core story.
