Breaking and Entering

Giver
Vincent Effenburger
Location
Vincent Effenburger's text invite, or the Pause Menu job list; the team spawns near the Vespucci police station.

Vincent wants three things before the Cluckin’ Bell raid: a laptop from a cartel-paid employee, a hacking device from a hacker’s Terrorbyte, and a freight train. You steal each one and then ride the train out of the city.

Before you start

Bring a car with decent speed and armor; the trip between the three stops covers most of the map.

Carry a weapon with solid range for the drones and for the gunmen that chase the train.

Objectives

  1. Go to the Terrorbyte or laptop.
  2. Locate the employee with the laptop.
  3. Steal the laptop.
  4. Go to the Terrorbyte.
  5. Destroy the drones.
  6. Enter the Terrorbyte.
  7. Steal the hacking device.
  8. Exit the Terrorbyte.
  9. Go to the cartel’s compound.
  10. Take out the cartel to find the train key.
  11. Collect the train key.
  12. Steal the train.
  13. Escape with the train.

Breaking and Entering walkthrough

Find the laptop

Vincent texts you a picture of the Cluckin’ Bell employee who carries the laptop. Head for the Del Perro area and look for him on the Pier, where he strolls among the crowd. Check each person against the photo. You can take the laptop quietly from behind, or knock him out first; if he spots you, he turns hostile, so keep your weapon holstered while you close in. Once the laptop is yours, the objective switches to the Terrorbyte.

Raid the Terrorbyte

Drive to the hacker’s Terrorbyte in the industrial yard Vincent marks. Its defenses are tethered to a group of armed drones that hover around the truck. Shoot every drone down before you try to get in, because the drones carry turrets and soak up a fair amount of damage. Stay behind your car or the fences to cut their fire. When the last one falls, climb into the Terrorbyte and take the hacking device from the equipment cases inside.

Take the train key

With the device stored, drive to the cartel’s compound on Elysian Island. The guards shoot on sight, so clear the yard from behind cover, using the pipes and containers to break their line of fire. One of the defeated guards drops the train key; pick it up from the ground. With a partner, one of you can watch the entrance while the other searches the bodies.

Drive the train out

Board the freight train and use the throttle to pull away. Signals along the line will stop the train unless you hack them in time, so press the hack button as you approach each signal and watch the cooldown before the next. Valkyries and armed Technicals chase you along the tracks; with a team, let one player drive while the others shoot from the carriages. Keep moving until the train rolls into the tunnel outside the city.

What fails this mission

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

  • the Terrorbyte is destroyed
  • the train is stopped or destroyed
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

The job ends once the train disappears into the tunnel. Vincent stores it for the raid. Both Concealed Weapons and Hit and Run are now open from his list.
