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.



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.





The getaway
When the last wave ends, Franklin gets in the garbage truck and drives to your getaway car. Destroy the truck and move away from it. Then you all go to meet Devin Weston, who hires you for the car jobs that follow.





What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- Team members left behind.
- Team member died.
- Trevor’s Bodhi was destroyed.
- The Trashmaster was destroyed.
- The Trashmaster was abandoned.
- The tow truck was destroyed.
- The Trashmaster or the tow truck got stuck.
- Cover blown.
- Out of sticky bombs required for the truck’s door.
- Abandoning the heist.
Gold Medal requirements
Twelve headshots and 60% accuracy are easiest with Michael’s ability. Switch characters ten times during the fight. The helicopter requirement works with any character, not only Trevor.
