Rigged to Blow walkthrough

Leave the mansion

Mikhail Faustin gives you the job at his house in Beachgate. When the scene ends, walk out through the front gate. The objective sends you to an old factory in Schottler, marked by a yellow blip on the radar. You have no time limit, so find a car on the street before you set off.

Niko stands at the front door of an ivy-covered house at night.

Find the truck

A taxi parked at the curb will do. Drive into Schottler and follow the route line to Montauk Avenue. The truck sits in a yard beside the old factory, with its lights on. Walk up to it when the objective tells you to get in the truck, and climb into the cab.

A yellow taxi sits at the curb with its door open and the factory objective on screen.

Niko opens the door of a taxi beside a gas station and a highway sign.

Niko runs toward a big truck parked in a yard with the objective to get in the truck.

Hear what you are hauling

Once you sit down, Niko phones Mikhail. He tells you to take the truck to a garage on the corner of Guantanamo and Windmill. The truck is rigged with explosives, and Mikhail tells you to set them off once the truck is inside. You are warned to go easy on the drive over, since the load is very touchy.

The red truck waits in the yard as Niko tells Mikhail he has it.

Mikhail says to drive the truck to the garage on the corner of Guantanamo and Windmill.

The subtitle tells Niko to trigger the explosive once the truck is inside the garage.

A warning that the load is volatile appears over the parked truck.

Drive to the garage

The route runs from Schottler over a bridge and into Bohan. At the toll booth, a help message tells you to slow down and pay if you do not want to attract attention. The toll is $5. Take every corner slowly. The truck is long and heavy, so brake early and swing wide instead of cutting across the curb.

The truck drives down a city street lined with shops toward the lit bridge.

The truck rolls up to a row of toll lanes with a help message about slowing down to pay.

The truck stops at a toll kiosk with a help message saying the toll is $5.

Watch the warning light

A light on the back of the truck shows the state of the load. Quicker flashes mean the explosives are getting more unstable, so any hard hit puts the whole thing at risk. Keep clear of poles, curbs and other cars. If the flashing speeds up, ease off the gas, let the truck settle and carry on gently. Wide avenues beat side streets here.

A help message explains that the flashing light on the back of the truck shows its condition.

A help message says quicker flashes mean the explosive is becoming more unstable.

The truck rolls down a wide street past parked cars, with the radar showing the route.

Park inside the garage

The garage is a Used Auto Parts yard on the corner of Guantanamo and Windmill in Chase Point. When you get close, the objective changes to parking the truck inside the garage. Turn in slowly through the opening and stop with the whole truck under cover. Brake gently, because a slam on the brakes at the end can still set it off.

The truck nears the entrance under the Used Auto Parts sign, with the same objective on screen.

Set off the bomb

Get out of the truck and walk away from the garage before you set off the explosion. The objective tells you to trigger the bomb. Wait until you are across the street at least. A scene shows the whole building going up. Stand too close and the blast takes you with it.

Niko crouches beside the rear wheels of the parked truck outside the garage at night.

People walk along the sidewalk beside the Used Auto Parts yard.

A fireball bursts from the Used Auto Parts garage entrance.

Escape the area

Once the dust settles, the last objective says to get out of the area. Police cars head for the fire. Find any car and drive away from Chase Point. You do not need to fight anyone. Put several blocks between you and the garage until the heat cools down.

Niko stands in the street as the garage burns, with the objective to get out of the area.

Niko drives away in a car while a police car sits farther down the street.

Call Mikhail

When you are clear, Niko calls Mikhail to tell him he will not do this kind of job again. Mikhail is not impressed and mocks you for it. The conversation plays out on its own, so you only have to keep out of trouble until the call ends. The mission is complete when it does.

Niko stands beside a parked car on the phone with Mikhail.

What fails this mission

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

The truck is destroyed before you reach the garage.
You abandon the truck.

After the mission

You get $700. Mikhail has no more work for you. With this job finished, The Master and the Molotov and Search and Delete both open. Brucie Kibbutz is waiting for you at his garage in East Hook for the second one.

Niko drives a car at night with the $700 payment showing on screen.
