GTA Online Handle with Care Mission Walkthrough

Martin wants a smuggling operation at the Pacific Allied Shipyard shut down. You clear the smugglers, take their coke from an upstairs office, steal their two boats and run them up the coast to Martin’s people.

Before you start

Bring an SMG or carbine and wear body armor, because many smugglers cover the yard and the walkways.

Work with a partner if you can: both boats must reach the drop, and one player alone has to make a long trip back for the second.

Keep clear of the busy bay and take the inner channel if boats chase you.

Objectives

Go to the Pacific Allied Shipyard.
Take out the smugglers.
Steal the coke.
Steal the smuggler’s boats.
Deliver the boat to the rendezvous.

Handle with Care walkthrough

Drive to the shipyard

Follow the road into Port City and head for the Pacific Allied Shipyard marker. The yard is full of armed smugglers, so slow down before you reach the gate and stop with a car between you and the buildings. Leave the car at the edge of the yard and approach on foot, since the guards see vehicles from a long way off.

Take out the smugglers

Smugglers are spread through the containers, the warehouses and the walkways above. Move from one container to the next and shoot from corners rather than the open. Check doorways and the stairs before you walk through, and keep your armor up. Take your time and clear each area, since the coke only shows up once enough of them are down.

Take the coke

Once enough smugglers fall, the coke appears in an office on the upper floor of the shipyard. Go up the stairs and through the warehouse and grab it, keeping your gun ready for guards who step out of side rooms. The job fails if the coke is destroyed, so avoid explosives near it. Take the bag back out to the pier.

Steal the boats

Two boats are tied up at the pier outside. Fight your way along the dock, where more smugglers wait in the crates and cranes, and then climb into one of the boats. Enemy boats join the chase once you set off, so be ready to shoot or lose them. A partner can take the second boat right away.

Run the coast

Head north up the coast toward the rendezvous. Keep the throttle open and stay well out from the rocks, since a wrecked boat fails the job. If chasers close in, use the inner channel around Elysian Island instead of the open water. At the end you reach a quiet beach where Martin’s people are waiting.

Bring the second boat

Both boats must be delivered, so if you came alone you have to go back for the other one. Jet skis wait at the beach for the trip back to the pier. Ride back down the coast and through the channel under the bridges, and take the second boat out the same way. Drive it to the rendezvous and park it in the marker.
