Mission walkthrough

The plan

The agents want an IAA armored truck robbed. Once you’ve done the setups, The Hotel Assassination, Hood Safari, Did Somebody Say Yoga? and The Merryweather Heist, go to the lot in El Burro Heights. All three characters get in position in Cypress Flats.

Michael shows a phone to Trevor and Franklin beside a Casey's Highway Clearance truck in the yard.

Garbage truck with the Little Pricks livery leaves a dusty lot, with the objective to go to Cypress Flats.

Stopping the truck

Trevor looks through his binoculars until he spots the truck. As Michael, drive the garbage truck across the road to block it. Then Franklin comes down the alley in the tow truck and rams it. Walk to the rear of the truck, plant the sticky bomb and stand clear. You can kill or spare the guards as they come out.

Holding off the police

Michael and Franklin have machine guns by the truck, and Trevor is above with an RPG and a good view. The police come in waves. First cars arrive on the main road, then NOOSE comes down the rear alley and by helicopter. Next are more cars on the road, then three snipers on the roof to the southeast for Trevor to deal with, and finally another chopper. The objective text tells you where to look. Switch to whoever is under the most pressure.
