A Titan of a Job

Giver
Lester Crest
Location
Lester's phone call or the Pause Menu job list at rank 24; you start in Los Santos at night, with the airport to the south.

Lester’s buyers want a Titan cargo plane that Merryweather keeps in a hangar at Los Santos International Airport. You get in, clear the guards, free the plane and fly it to Sandy Shores airfield.

Before you start

Bring a sniper rifle for the guards outside the hangar, and a carbine or shotgun for the fight inside.

Wear armor, because Merryweather soldiers hit hard.

Decide who flies: the Titan is a big plane and needs a long, steady approach.

With a team, split roles: snipers on a rise outside the fence, others ready to push in.

Objectives

  1. Steal the Titan.
  2. Deliver the Titan to Sandy Shores airfield.

A Titan of a Job walkthrough

Head for the airport

Lester suggests a helicopter, but you can also drive. Follow the marker south through the city streets toward Los Santos International. Stay out of restricted airspace if you fly, and keep to the main road if you drive. Slow down as you reach the airport approach so you do not draw attention from the patrols at the gate.

Clear the guards

Merryweather soldiers are posted around the hangar. Pull up short of it and pick them off from range with a sniper rifle, working from one group to the next. Take cover behind barriers and cars when they return fire, and watch the rooftops. Clear the apron fully before you go close, so you do not get caught in a crossfire as you enter.

Free the Titan

Go into the hangar and finish off any soldiers left inside. A semi truck and trailer block the Titan, so climb into the cab and drive it clear of the plane. Take your time with the truck, since it is slow to turn in a tight space. Then get into the Titan and take off right away, before Merryweather send in reinforcements in Mesas.

Fly to Sandy Shores

Once the plane is moving, head north-east toward Sandy Shores airfield. Merryweather will not chase you in the air, so fly at a steady pace. Take the route over Vinewood and the hills, and keep the nose up to clear the ridgeline. The Titan is heavy, so start descending early and line up with the runway. Land and stop at the marker to finish.
