Short Trip – Seed Capital

Giver
Franklin Clinton
Location
The Short Trips are a Franklin and Lamar job from the Pause Menu job list after the Dr. Dre contract; it opens in Record A Studios, then you take control of Franklin and Lamar outside.

Lamar needs to restock his weed at LD Organics, but the Vagos are raiding the place and then drive off with his truck. You and a partner clear the warehouse, chase the truck, and fight the gang from its back doors.

Before you start

You play as Franklin and Lamar with fixed weapons, so there is no loadout to prepare.

Pick up the SMGs and rifles the Vagos drop, because they hit harder than your pistols.

Objectives

  1. Take out the Vagos.
  2. Get in the truck.
  3. Take out the Vagos from the back of the Mule.
  4. Take out the van driver to drop the keys.

Short Trip – Seed Capital walkthrough

Drive to LD Organics

After the studio tour you walk out with Lamar and climb into his green Emperor, with Chop in the back. Lamar drives across town to LD Organics in Chamberlain Hills. There is nothing to do on the road except enjoy the ride.

Clear the warehouse

The Vagos are raiding LD Organics. Take out the group outside first, using the parked cars for cover, then follow Chop to the last runner. Pick up the weapons they drop, then go inside and clear the rest of the warehouse before checking the lot.

Ride the truck

Lamar’s Mule is driven off but keeps to the traffic rules, so you catch it on foot and climb into the back. When the Vagos driver notices, he calls in a hit squad of cars and bikes. Stand in the back and shoot at the chasers through the open doors, targeting the ones closest first.

The alley and the rooftop

The truck stops in an alley behind a shop in Downtown Vinewood. Take cover by the parked trailer and clear the Vagos in the alley with the rifles you picked up. The van driver has climbed a ladder to the roof, so follow him up and take him out to drop the keys.
