Off Route walkthrough

Get to the police station

After the meeting you start on foot outside the Jousters Club with your Hexer at the curb. A small blue hatchback is parked on the opposite side of the street. You can ride the Hexer or take the car, and the car is the better pick, because you’ll be fighting soon and a car keeps you out of harm’s way a little longer. The objective is to get to the prison transport bus location.

Johnny runs along a night street toward a parked bike with the objective to get to the prison transport bus location.

Johnny stands beside a small blue hatchback parked at the curb on a night street.

Johnny drives a small blue hatchback past a red-awninged entrance with the route line on the radar.

Follow the route line on the radar out of Middle Park and across Algonquin. It passes under a stone arch in the park and then joins a wide road with traffic lights. Nobody is chasing you, so stay in your lane, obey the lights where you can and go easy on the corners. The police station is at the end of the line.

The hatchback drives toward a lit stone arch with a taxi ahead.

The hatchback drives down a wide empty avenue at night.

The hatchback drives down a wide road toward a green highway sign and traffic lights.

You have two ways to deal with the station. You can charge straight in, which sets off the alarm and gives you a three-star wanted level at once. Or you can park out of sight and wait. After a few minutes the bus leaves for the prison, and you can intercept it on the road. Without an alarm you also skip the roadblocks, but the bus doors stay locked, so you have to shoot the driver to get in. The rest of this page covers the head-on route.

The hatchback drives toward a set of traffic lights with a white car ahead.

The hatchback turns at a junction near a brick building and a crosswalk.

A brick police building stands behind a security booth and a lowered barrier gate.

Fight through the police station yard

Stop at the security booth at the gate, where the barrier is down. Jump over it and run in. A short scene shows the bus waiting in the yard with police around it and the prisoners standing in a line. Then the objective changes to taking control of the bus.

Police officers stand around the prison bus while two prisoners in orange wait in the yard.

Johnny runs toward the open station gate with the objective to take control of the prison transport bus.

Johnny leaps over the lowered barrier with the objective Take control of the prison transport bus on screen.

Police and FIB agents come at you from behind cars, fences and corners. They carry pistols and submachine guns. Do not run straight across the open yard. Use the corner of the building, a car or the chain-link fence to stay out of the line of fire, and shoot officers as they step out. More keep arriving, so move steadily.

Johnny aims from behind a concrete ledge at an officer near a parked police car.

Johnny runs along a low brick wall in the dark station yard.

Johnny aims through a chain-link fence at police cars with an officer on the ground nearby.

Keep your shots away from the bus. The prisoners inside it are not protected, and if one of them dies the mission fails. Aim at the officers instead, work your way along the wall and clear the path to the bus. Pick up submachine guns the officers drop if your own ammo gets low.

Johnny fires his submachine gun at a police car with three wanted stars lit.

Johnny aims a submachine gun at an officer crouching behind a police car while the bus waits behind.

Johnny aims at an officer crouching beside a police car as the radar shows red blips.

When the yard is clear, run to the bus and climb in. A short scene shows you taking the wheel with the prisoners behind you. Once you’re driving, the objective changes to losing the cops.

A police car sits in the station yard beside dumpsters and a brick building.

Johnny runs past a fallen officer toward the prison bus parked in front of garage doors.

Johnny stands inside the bus among prisoners in orange jumpsuits.

Lose the cops in the bus

Drive out through the gate and down the ramp. Three stars is the highest your wanted level goes in this mission, and the bus is tough, so you can take hits. A police car waits by the gate, so swing wide around it. Use the radar to see the cops, and head for wide streets where you can build up speed.

The prison bus drives down the ramp with a police car beside it and the objective Lose the cops.

The prison bus drives down a night street lined with trees and shop fronts.

The prison bus turns a corner under a billboard while the radar shows nearby police.

Turn away from the police on the first few corners and cross the park to put some distance between you and the cruisers. The bus is heavy, so brake early and take corners wide. Do not stop and do not slam it into walls or lampposts, because the mission fails if the bus is destroyed.

The bus drives across a lit park plaza in front of a long covered market building.

The bus rolls through a quiet intersection beside park steps and streetlights.

The bus drives along a road beneath a steel bridge with the radar showing police.

A Pay ‘n’ Spray is your best friend. Drive in under the sign and the stars go away once the door closes. Even Johnny makes a joke about it, since the bus can hardly be repainted. If you don’t spot one, break line of sight in the side streets under the elevated road and wait for the stars to blink.

A spray shop with a mural sign stands under a bridge while a bus is visible inside its door.

The prison bus turns into a spray shop entrance with a joke about respraying it shown in the subtitle.

The prison bus sits sideways beside a dark building near a red traffic light.

Drive the bus to the drop

When the stars are gone, the objective changes to getting the bus to the drop. A yellow blip marks the spot at the docks in the south of Alderney. Follow the route line along the water, through the industrial blocks and under the bridge. Take the corners slowly. If the bus gets stuck against a wall or fence, you can’t finish the job.

The prison bus drives along a waterfront road with the objective Get the bus to the drop.

The bus drives down a road beside trees with the route line on the radar.

The bus passes pipes and tanks in an industrial area on the way to the docks.

Park inside the marker at the end of the pier. The prisoners climb out, walk to the edge and a scene shows them leaving by boat. The bus ends up in the water, and Johnny walks back from the pier as the mission ends.

The bus drives toward a row of low industrial buildings near the water.

The bus drives along a lit road beside a long warehouse wall near the water.

Johnny faces three prisoners in orange jumpsuits on a pier with the water behind them.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

The prison bus is destroyed
You abandon the prison bus
The prison bus gets stuck
One of the prisoners dies
You disrupt the prisoners’ escape
The bus reaches the prison

After the mission

You earn $5,000. Stubbs calls to say thank you and opens his side jobs, called Stubbs’ Dirty Laundry. Billy also texts to tell you to come to the clubhouse, which starts This Shit’s Cursed once Bad Cop Drop is done too. If you haven’t done that one yet, go and find Jim.

Johnny stands on the pier as a small boat pulls away across the dark water.

Johnny stands on the pier at night beside a row of dark windows after the boat has left.

Johnny jogs across a lawn toward a parked red car with a $5,000 reward shown at the top right.
