Working Remotely

Giver
Dax
Location
Dax's phone call after you ask him for work, or the Pause Menu job list; the job begins wherever you are and sends you to a GoPostal depot.

Dax wants a rival gang’s hideout blown up and has a plan: steal a GoPostal van, fit it with a remote bomb and deliver it as if it were a parcel. You park it inside the hideout, walk away unseen and set the bomb off.

Before you start

Bring a fast vehicle or a helicopter for the trip to the depot, since its location changes between attempts.

Keep your weapon holstered once you are inside the hideout. Gang members spot drawn weapons and the plan fails.

Have a car or a quick escape route in mind for the wanted level after the explosion.

Objectives

  1. Go to the GoPostal depot.
  2. Steal the GoPostal van.
  3. Take the van to LS Customs.
  4. Install a remote bomb.
  5. Take the van to the Lost MC hideout.
  6. Wait for the gate to open.
  7. Park beside the gas tank.
  8. Sneak away from the hideout.
  9. Detonate the remote bomb.
  10. Lose the Cops.
  11. Leave the area.

Working Remotely walkthrough

Steal the GoPostal van

Dax sets out his plan over the phone, then marks a GoPostal depot. Get there by road or by air. A few armed guards stand around the yard near the loading bays, so deal with them before you touch the van. Once they are down, climb into the parked GoPostal van to take it. Dax calls again and your character automatically puts on a GoPostal uniform, which becomes your disguise for the rest of the job.

Fit the remote bomb

Drive the van to the LS Customs garage Dax marks on the map. The route runs through the industrial streets around the docks, so watch for traffic at the junctions and avoid wrecking the van, since it has to survive to the end. Pull into the bay and the bomb is installed for you. A Detonate Bomb contact then appears in your phone, and you will use it later.

Deliver the van

Dax picks one of three hideouts, so follow the marker on your map. Drive at a normal pace and stay clear of other vehicles. Stop in front of the hideout gate and press the horn button to signal the gang inside. Wait for the gate to open, drive through and park the van beside the large red gas tank. If anyone is alerted before the van is in place, or the van is destroyed, the plan fails and you have to fight the whole gang.

Sneak away and detonate

Get out and walk back through the hideout without drawing your weapon. A help box warns that gang members become alerted if you enter their field of vision with a weapon equipped. Stay behind cover such as containers and walls and keep walking toward the exit. When you are clear, call the Detonate Bomb contact on your phone to destroy the van and the hideout. You get a wanted level from the blast, which turns the next objective into Lose the Cops.

Lose the cops

With the hideout destroyed you start with a two-star wanted level. Get away from the area and out of the police line of sight. A fast vehicle or a helicopter makes this easy, because you can break the search by flying high above the city. Once the stars clear, the mission passes and the GoPostal outfit is added to your wardrobe.

What fails this mission

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

  • the gang members are alerted before the van is parked
  • the van is destroyed on the way to the hideout
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

You earn $50,000 and 1,000 RP, and the GoPostal outfit is unlocked for your wardrobe. If you were spotted and had to fight the gang instead, the payout is cut to half.
