GTA San Andreas Badlands Mission Walkthrough

C.R.A.S.H. wants a witness silenced and a photograph to prove it. You ride up Mount Chiliad on a dirt bike, find the informant hiding in a cabin guarded by federal agents, kill him and bring the camera home.

Before you start

Bring a quiet weapon or a melee weapon and armor, because federal agents guard the cabin.

Do not use a shotgun, Desert Eagle or katana on the head, since a body that cannot be identified fails the mission.

Make your way up the mountain to find that snitch!
He’s inside, smoke him out!
Watch out for the feds!
Remember, you need a photo of him in one piece!
Photograph the body.
Take the camera to the drop.

Out of Angel Pine

Get changed in the safehouse if you like, then head outside. A Sanchez dirt bike is waiting by the trailers. Climb on and ride out of Angel Pine toward Mount Chiliad. The mission text tells you the witness is somewhere on the mountain and you need proof of his death.

Up the mountain

Follow the radar and the dirt tracks that wind up the slope. The Sanchez copes with the steep ground far better than a car, so keep your speed up and lean into the bends. Pass the Mount Chiliad sign and stay on the trail until the trees thicken and the cabin comes into view.

The cabin

The informant is holed up in a small cabin on a wooded hill, with federal agents patrolling around it. These agents have little health, so a few shots drop them, but fire will draw the rest. Leave the bike short of the clearing and move in on foot through the trees.

Kill him and take the photo

Kill the witness inside, using something that leaves his head intact. Once he is down, the game tells you to photograph the body. Equip the camera, aim at him until he sits in the frame and fire. Do not leave without the picture, because the mission will not pass without it.

Back to the drop

Hop back on the bike and ride down the mountain. The route you came up is the quickest way. Take the camera to the drop marker at the trailer in Angel Pine. Any federal agents left behind lose interest once the witness is dead, so the descent is calm.
