Truck Hustle walkthrough

Go to the alley

Phil Bell talks the job over in his office at the warehouse in Normandy. When the scene ends, the objective is Go to the alley. A yellow blip on the radar marks it, near Long John Avenue in Alderney City. Any fast car will do for the run.

Niko drives a dark sports car past warehouses with the objective Go to the alley and a route line on the radar.
The dark sports car drives along a street in Alderney City.
The sports car turns toward buildings on the way to the alley.

The roads are mostly clear. Pull up near the marker and get ready on foot. A cutscene starts when you step into it, showing a Triad crew arriving with the Mule truck. After that, the objective changes to Steal the truck.

A box truck with its headlights on pulls into a narrow alley between brick walls.
Niko fires his SMG at gunmen near vans in the alley with the objective Steal the truck on screen.

Fight the Triads

The Triads open fire right away. You start with your SMG, and the alley is full of parked vans and cars you can use as cover. Crouch behind a van and lean out to shoot. The enemies spread out along the alley, so take them one at a time, and watch the red dots on the radar.

A firefight breaks out among parked vans and pickups in the alley.
Niko aims his SMG at gunmen behind a van while a fallen enemy lies on the ground.

Some of the gunmen run for the truck and shoot from behind it. Shoot the ones in the open first. There are also a few at the far end of the alley and some up on the steps. Move forward from van to van, and don’t stand still while reloading.

Niko aims along the alley past a parked van toward the truck.
Niko takes aim at a gunman standing beside loading steps.

Grab on to the truck

As you thin them out, one of them runs to the Mule, jumps in and floors it. The objective is now The truck is escaping. Move to its rear to grab on. Run after it down the street and keep sprinting. A short scene shows Niko catching the back of the truck.

Niko reaches up and grabs hold of the escaping truck.
Niko hangs off the rear of the moving truck with the objective Make your way to the front of the truck.

You then hang off the rear doors. Tap the sprint control quickly to haul yourself up on the roof. If the truck swerves, you swing to one side. Tap fast to get back and don’t let go too long, or you slip off. If you do drop, chase it and grab on again.

Niko clings to the rear doors of the box truck as it drives down a street.
Niko lies flat on the truck roof with help text about hanging on while the truck goes around corners.

Make your way to the front

Crawl along the roof. The next objective is Make your way to the front of the truck, and a prompt shows how to move forward. Keep tapping and stay in the middle of the roof. Use the roll controls shown on screen to lean left or right and stay centered when the truck swerves. At the front, a scene plays where Niko deals with the driver and takes over.

Drive to the old mansion

The Mule is yours now. The objective is Drive the truck to the old mansion, and the blip leads up into the hills of Westdyke. Phil calls to say the truck is a wedding present for his nephew, and that the place is off Beaverhead Avenue. Take your time in the truck, because it is tall and swings wide on corners.

The box truck drives through a quiet neighborhood while Niko talks to Phil on the phone.
The box truck turns at a junction with the objective Drive the truck to the old mansion.

Follow the yellow line on the radar through the side streets and out along the road up the hill. Keep the Mule in one piece. Losing it or wrecking it fails the mission. When you pull in at the old house, a scene begins.

The truck climbs a wooded dirt road with a yellow route line on the radar.
The truck rolls into a gravel lot beside a run-down brick house.

What fails this mission

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

  • The Mule is destroyed
  • You lose the Mule, for example by letting it get away

After the mission

You get $11,000. Niko hands the truck over to Phil’s nephew Frankie and walks off. Pegorino’s Pride and The Fixer’s Assassinations are now open.

Niko stands in front of the delivered truck while a man tells him about a wedding present.
