Mission walkthrough

The convoy is one Barracks truck with two Crusaders, and it takes one of two random routes through the Grand Senora Desert: from south of Harmony on Senora Road, or from Calafia Road along the Zancudo River. Both end at Fort Zancudo, so if it gets there, you’ve failed.

An olive Barracks truck leads military jeeps down a highway while the red off-road truck follows behind.
The olive Barracks truck drives along Calafia Road in the Grand Senora Desert, with mountains behind it.

Get ahead of it and block the road, or set sticky bombs on the road and set them off under the lead Crusader. Kill the guards, who carry pistols, carbines and SMGs. Climb in the Barracks and drive it to the back of Trevor’s office at the meth lab. A Cargobob or a tow truck can’t lift it. You won’t get a wanted level unless you go into the base.

Trevor walks along the road past a dead guard, with the Barracks truck ahead on the road.

What fails this mission

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

  • The hardware was abandoned.
  • The convoy reached the base.
  • The transport truck was destroyed.
  • The transport truck got stuck.

Gold Medal requirements

Park across the road ahead of the convoy, drop sticky bombs on the road in front of you, and detonate them under the first Crusader. Do not destroy both Crusaders, because you need five enemies alive for headshots.
