Satellite Communications

Giver
Trevor Philips
Location
Trevor's phone call, or the Pause Menu job list at rank 60; you start on foot in the hills near Vinewood at night.

The Lost are loading satellite dishes into a trailer at the communications tower behind the Vinewood Sign, and Trevor wants it. You take the trailer and haul it north to his gas station in Sandy Shores while bikers chase you.

Before you start

Bring body armor and an assault rifle or carbine for the yard fight.

There is no timer, so take the route slowly and keep the trailer intact; a team can follow in a second car and cover the rear.

A sturdy truck cab is already at the site, so you do not need a vehicle of your own for the haul.

Objectives

  1. Steal the trailer.
  2. Deliver the trailer to the gas station.

Satellite Communications walkthrough

Find the yard

The yard sits near the communications tower on the hill behind the Vinewood Sign. Approach on foot along the grass slope rather than driving up the main road, as the bikers watch the track. Stay low, use the rise of the hill for cover, and look for the lights of the yard to plan your route in.

Take the yard

The Lost are spread around the sheds, the lit offices and the tower. Clear them from the edge inward, using the buildings as cover, then climb into the truck cab and hitch the trailer. Keep an eye on the dark corners between the sheds, because bikers can arrive from the road while you are still working.

Haul it down from the hills

Leave by the winding track and take it slowly. The trailer is destroyed if it is smashed up, so avoid hard swings at the bends and stay away from the barrier on the cliff side. Bikers join the chase soon after you leave, so a teammate in a second vehicle can shoot at them while you keep the truck steady.

Drive to Sandy Shores

Follow the roads north through Grand Senora Desert toward the gas station in Sandy Shores. Keep to the tarmac, stay off the verge, and slow down well before the long left and right bends. If bikers close in, steer in a straight line and let a teammate deal with them, then pull the trailer into the gas station forecourt to finish.
