Torpedo Run

Location
Terroil gas station, Lancaster, Algonquin

Heston will name the informant inside the Triads if you first sink one of Zhou Ming’s contraband boats. You steal a police boat, torpedo the smugglers and then catch the drug van carrying the cargo that reached shore.

Before you start

Sea mines can seriously damage your boat, and the drug van is chased in an Admiral by the pier.

Objectives

  1. Go to the police jetty.
  2. Take the police boat.
  3. Find Zhou’s boat before it reaches the dock.
  4. Watch out, the boat is armed with sea mines. Avoid them, or destroy them with torpedoes.
  5. Head to the pier.
  6. Don’t let the van get away with the shipment.
  7. Destroy the van and its occupants.

Torpedo Run walkthrough

Heston’s deal

Heston meets you at the Terroil station and asks you to sink one of Zhou’s shipments. Huang points out that Hsin will kill him if the Triads find out, and asks whether this is only about getting Internal Affairs off Heston’s back. Heston does not care. Do the job and he gives you the rat’s name.

Steal a police boat

Follow the objective to the LCPD Dock and steal the Destroyer police boat tied up there. Its torpedoes are the only weapon you need. Head out toward Zhou’s boat.

Sink the smugglers

Zhou’s boat moves ahead of you along the coast and drops sea mines now and then. Steer around them or detonate them from a distance with a torpedo. If you get too close to the boat, the sailor shoots at you with an SMG, so line up and fire at the boat itself. It takes a couple of hits, and you must finish it before it reaches its dock or the job is lost.

The drug van

Heston emails to say some of the cargo reached shore and is traveling by road. Go to the pier west of Colony Island, take the nearby Admiral and chase the Burrito van loaded with the shipment. Wreck it before it escapes.

What fails this mission

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

  • The police boat is destroyed
  • You take too long to sink the boat
  • The drug van escapes

After the mission

Heston is satisfied and the job is done. Zhou has his own task for you next, So Near, Yet Sonar.
