Base Invaders

Giver
Ron Jakowski
Location
Ron Jakowski's text invite or the Pause Menu job list at rank 27; you spawn on foot at Sandy Shores Airfield.

Ron wants a Cargobob for the TP Industries fleet, and the only one around sits in a hangar at Fort Zancudo. You reach the base, blow up the Lazer jets so they cannot chase you, take the helicopter and fly it back to Sandy Shores.

Before you start

Bring body armor and a strong automatic weapon or rocket launcher; the base fills with soldiers once you are spotted.

Explosive weapons deal with the Lazer jets quickly.

Soldiers keep coming while you are inside, so work as a team and do not stand still.

Objectives

  1. Get in Ron’s plane.
  2. Destroy the Lazers.
  3. Steal the Cargobob.
  4. Deliver the Cargobob to Sandy Shores airfield.

Base Invaders walkthrough

Reach the airfield and the base

The job starts at Sandy Shores Airfield, where Ron’s plane is parked, and the first objective tells you to get in it. From there the route runs to Fort Zancudo, far to the south west. Go quickly, but do not charge the front gate. Follow the marker toward the fence line, keep the vehicle intact, and be ready to stop before the soldiers notice you.

Destroy the Lazers

Inside Zancudo, three Lazer fighter jets stand on the apron. Destroy all of them so they cannot chase you later. Pull up near the hangars, use the crates and trucks for cover, and shoot or blast each jet in turn. The base fires back as soon as you are seen, and your wanted stars appear at once. Keep an eye on the map for the red jet markers so none are missed.

Steal the Cargobob

Once the last Lazer is down, drive to the marked hangar. The Cargobob waits inside, painted in desert marine colors. Troops spawn in waves on foot and in trucks, so clear anyone near the door, then get in quickly. Take off before more arrive; with a team, one of you flies and the others keep shooting from the helicopter. Check the map so you do not drift into a wall or hangar roof on the way out.

Fly home to Sandy Shores

Climb out of the base and follow the marker over the hills to Sandy Shores Airfield. The soldiers and police do not follow once you leave the base, so the flight is calm. Stay at a steady height, keep the nose pointed at the marker, and slow down as you approach the airfield. Land the Cargobob inside the marked area to finish the job.

What fails this mission

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

  • the Cargobob is destroyed
  • Ron’s plane is destroyed
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

You earn cash and RP based on how long the job took. Ron has more work for you at the next rank.
