ULP – Counterintelligence

Giver
Agent ULP
Location
Agent ULP's phone call after Intelligence, or the Pause Menu job list; you start at the IAA Headquarters.

Unlocks ULP – Extraction

The FIB is hunting for whoever broke into its headquarters, so Agent ULP sends you after its surveillance drones. You hack two drones, walk into a trap at a motel, then defuse a bomb in a van and drive it to a safehouse.

Before you start

Bring a car with good handling for the drone chase, and body armor and a rifle for later.

You get two lives and a few minutes to defuse the bomb, so it helps to have everyone ready.

With a team, the driver can focus on the road while others work the hacking screens.

Objectives

  1. Hack an FIB surveillance drone.
  2. Stay within range to hack the FIB drone.
  3. Go to the motel.
  4. Access the laptop.
  5. Defuse the bomb in the back of the van.
  6. Enter the van.
  7. Lose the cops.
  8. Deliver the van to the drop-off.

ULP – Counterintelligence walkthrough

Hack the drones

Open the SecuroServ app on your phone and follow the first drone marker around La Mesa. Stay within range until the progress bar finishes, then repeat with the second drone over El Burro Heights. A signal meter shows how close you are, so keep the car moving and follow the drone if it drifts off.

The motel room

ULP picks the motel. Go to the room and use the computer to give him access. Everything looks quiet until the data he finds turns out to be a trap. Gas floods the room and you black out, so expect to wake up in an unexpected place.

Defuse the bomb

You wake in the back of a van in Cypress Flats, with cops and agents all around. A bomb is rigged inside. Open the panel and run the mirror node puzzle: aim the beam so it passes through every packet and avoids the firewalls. You have two lives and limited time, and two stages to finish. Take your time lining up each node.

Drive the van out

With the bomb disarmed, drive the van to the IAA safehouse outside Sandy Shores. The wanted level stays on in the city and the van has a health bar, so avoid ramming things. Stick to the freeways, then lose the cops once you reach open desert. Do not slow down for anyone.

What fails this mission

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

  • the drone is destroyed before the hack is done
  • the van is destroyed
  • an agent’s car is destroyed
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

You earn cash and RP on the Mission Passed card. Agent ULP calls with the next job, Extraction.
