Short Trip – Fire It Up

Giver
Franklin Clinton
Location
The second Short Trip, from the Pause Menu job list after Seed Capital; it opens at Record A Studios, then you ride out with Lamar to Blaine County.

Lamar wants to burn the Vagos’ weed storage in Blaine County. You and a partner race to Sandy Shores, torch two warehouses, and drive a stolen van back to Franklin’s house under fire.

Before you start

Take an assault rifle or SMG for the Vagos chase; the pistols you start with run dry fast.

A partner helps in the convoy: one drives while the other shoots from the back.

  2. Take out the Vagos.
  3. Find a way to destroy the weed.
  4. Burn the weed.
  5. Go to the weed storage.
  6. Enter the weed storage.
  7. Steal the van.
  8. Go to Franklin’s house.

Short Trip – Fire It Up walkthrough

Race to Sandy Shores

You and Lamar race to the first storage site, you on a Bagger and Lamar in his Emperor. Stay on the main road and cut corners where the road allows it. The winner decides which short scene plays when you arrive.

The first warehouse

Leave the bikes and approach on foot through the desert scrub. You can take the guards out one by one without being seen, or go in loud and shoot your way through. Inside the warehouse, find a fertilizer can, pour it over the plants and set them on fire, then leave before the flames spread.

The Technical and the second warehouse

A Vagos Technical with a mounted gun pulls up outside. Take it and drive to the second storage site, with one of you on the gun. Vagos cars, bikes and a helicopter chase you along the road, so shoot the closest ones first and keep the Technical steady. Do the same inside: burn the weed and the separate stash.

Back to Franklin’s

A Youga Classic van parked inside is loaded with supplies, so you take it and drive to Franklin’s house. More Vagos chase you in Ballers and lowriders, so keep going instead of stopping to fight. Take the highway and let the passenger shoot at the chasers.

What fails this mission

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

  • Franklin dies
  • Lamar dies
  • the Bagger, the Emperor or the van is destroyed

After the mission

At Franklin’s door the two share a short scene, and you collect cash, RP and Job Points. Short Trip – OG Kush opens next.
