An armored Securicar leaves the edge of Chinatown every day. Bullets do nothing to it, so ram it with a heavy vehicle until the guards bail out, then drive it to Joey’s lock-up at the Portland Harbor docks.
Objectives
- Ram the Securicar until its damage meter fills.
- Take the van to the lock-up.
Van Heist walkthrough
Joey’s tip
Joey, still lying under a car, tells you about a Securicar that leaves the edge of Chinatown every day. Bullets will not even dent its armor, so get a car and ram it off the road. Then take it to the warehouse at the docks, where his guys will take over.
Get something heavy
The heavier your vehicle, the quicker this goes. An Ambulance is ideal: it is big, takes a lot of punishment and is easy to find at the hospital in Portland View. A damage bar appears under the money in the top right. It shows how close the van is to giving up, not your own car’s health.
Ram the van
The Securicar is a blue arrow on the radar, driving away from Chinatown. Catch it and ram it hard from behind and from the side, again and again. It keeps driving and the guards stay inside until the bar is full. Chasing it across the grass in Portland View and Trenton is fine. Watch for police, because ramming in front of a patrol car earns stars.
Take it to the lock-up
When the bar fills the guards jump out and flee. Get into the Securicar. The objective now says take the van to the lock up, at the docks in Portland Harbor. If you picked up stars on the way, lose them first or just drive steadily, since the van is tough. Drive into the lock-up, then get out when told.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- The Securicar is destroyed
- The Securicar gets away
After the mission
Joey pays $20,000, and his next job, Cipriani’s Chauffeur, is ready. The lock-up stays open: any Securicar you deliver there later pays a cash reward that rises with each one, and ten of them earn a bonus. See the Securicar heists page.
