Location
Verdant Meadows airstrip, Bone County
Reward
$20,000

Requires N.O.E.

Unlocks Black Project

A cargo plane full of rival agents lands at the airstrip, and Toreno wants it destroyed. CJ rides a bike up the ramp as the plane takes off, plants a satchel charge, then takes a parachute from a crew member and jumps.

Before you start

Come with full health and armor.

Bring a melee weapon, because guns are dangerous inside a plane packed with explosives.

Objectives

  1. Drive the bike up the plane’s ramp before it takes off.
  2. Get the parachute from the crew.
  3. Place a satchel charge on the plane.
  4. Get out the back.

Stowaway walkthrough

The wrong visitors

Go to the airstrip as a cargo plane lands. CJ hides at the edge of the runway and Toreno appears behind him. He explains that the new arrivals are from a rival agency, that they have stolen land mines and plan to sell them abroad. He wants the agents dead and tells CJ to plant a bomb on the plane, then leaves.

Up the ramp

Take the motorbike beside you and race to the ramp at the back of the plane. Barrels roll out of the ramp, so steer between them. You must get on board before the plane takes off, so keep your speed up and aim straight for the middle of the ramp, because a bad angle sends you off the side.

Trapped in the air

Once you are in the hold, the plane takes off and the bike is lost. The plane is packed with explosives, so do not fire any gun. Switch to a melee weapon and move along the narrow hold. Crew members and guards will come at you, and stay low behind the crates as you go.

Find the parachute

One of the crew carries the only parachute you can use. Kill the crew and take it from the one with the parachute. Make sure the man carrying it does not fall out of the plane, because then the mission fails. Pick up the parachute once he drops it, then keep going toward the back of the plane.

Plant the bomb and jump

With the parachute on, go to the marker in the hold and place a satchel charge, then run out of the back before it explodes. Leap out of the rear door and free fall away from the plane. The bomb blows up the plane behind you. You must be wearing the right parachute when you jump.

What fails this mission

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

  • The plane gets away without being destroyed
  • CJ jumps without a parachute or with the wrong one
  • The crew member with the parachute falls out of the plane
  • CJ is blown up inside the plane

After the mission

You earn $20,000. Black Project is available next.
