Pay 8-Ball $100,000 for the explosives, drive him to Portland Harbor, then use a sniper rifle to clear the Cartel guards from the ship while he sets the charges. When the bomb goes off the SPANK factory sinks.
Before you start
You need $100,000 to start. If you are short, Portland’s odd jobs, Rampages and hidden packages pay well, and Securicars delivered to Joey’s lock-up help too.
Objectives
- Pay 8-Ball for the explosives.
- Drive 8-Ball to Portland Harbor.
- Get a good vantage point and kill the guards before they raise the alarm.
Bomb Da Base: Act II walkthrough
8-Ball’s price
8-Ball has heard from Salvatore. A job like this needs a lot of fireworks, and fireworks cost, though with him you get a lot of bang for your buck. Once you have paid the $100,000 he says he can set the bomb to detonate, but his burned hands still cannot use a gun. He hands you a sniper rifle so you can pop some heads.
Drive to the harbor
8-Ball gets into your car. Drive him south to Portland Harbor. Do not leave him behind: if you drive off without him, the game tells you to go back and get your main man. Park outside the harbor where the blip leads and walk in with 8-Ball following.
Snipe the guards
Climb the stairs to the raised walkway overlooking the ship, the marked vantage point. Pull out the rifle and zoom in. Start with the guards nearest 8-Ball’s path, because once a guard is shot the others are alerted and the clock is on. Headshots drop them instantly. Keep scanning the decks and the containers until none are left standing.
The ship goes up
With the guards dead, 8-Ball plants the charges and tells you to clear out. Get off the ship’s bridge and back to the quay before it explodes. The SPANK factory burns and sinks into the harbor.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- 8-Ball dies
- The guards raise the alarm too early
After the mission
The mission pays $150,000, a profit of $50,000. Salvatore’s last Portland job, Last Requests, is ready at the mansion. Before you take it, finish Luigi’s and Joey’s remaining missions, because they close for good when Last Requests ends.
