Charlie wants a submersible Pegassi Toreador that Merryweather seized and stored on an aircraft carrier. You parachute aboard, find the right containers, get a key card from the control tower and drive the car out to the LSA Lockup.
Before you start
Bring a suppressed weapon. Staying quiet in the hangars keeps the fight small.
Armor and a good carbine make the long walk through the carrier easier.
In a team, spread out in Hangar Bay A so you can find all three containers faster.
The job has a 30 minute limit, so do not waste time on side fights.

LSA Operation – Direct Action walkthrough
Meet Rooster and jump
Charlie sends you to Rooster’s office. Go there and use the prompt to contact him, and he flies in to pick you up in his helicopter. He takes you out over the Pacific Ocean toward Merryweather’s carrier, but stops short because of its missile defenses. When he tells you to, parachute in. You also receive the Infiltrator outfit, which suits sneaking around the carrier.
Hangar Bay A
Land on the deck and head for Hangar Bay A on the lower deck. Charlie texts a photo that shows what the containers look like. Guards patrol the hangar, with vehicles and weapon crates for cover. The operation bonus asks you to plant three tracking devices on Merryweather shipment crates, and the crates are along the way. Use the green crates as cover and take out the guards one at a time.
Find the containers
Search the hangar for the three containers holding the Toreador. Each one you find is marked with a message on screen. They are locked, so Charlie tells you to look for a key card in the control tower. Doors on the way can be opened by destroying the control panels beside them.
Get the key card
The control tower is up on the upper decks, and the route runs through red-lit corridors and stairwells where guards wait around corners. Move slowly and clear each room before you step in. In the tower itself, defeat the crew and take the key card from the room, then go back down to the containers.
Open the containers and escape
Use the key card on the containers, then steal the Toreador. Destroy the generator nearby to drop the security posts, then drive out of the hangar and into the sea. Hold the submarine button to dive and use the boost if you want speed. The car runs underwater so you can escape the carrier’s missile defenses quickly, then drive along the coast to the LSA Lockup in El Burro Heights, where Charlie is waiting.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- the Toreador is destroyed
- the time limit runs out
- the team runs out of lives
After the mission
You earn the leader payment plus any Operation Bonus, and the Infiltrator outfit is added to your wardrobe. Charlie thanks you at the LSA Lockup and you can start another operation from the Avenger.
