Dish the Dirt

Giver
Gerald
Location
Gerald's phone call, or the Pause Menu job list at rank 45; you begin on foot on a hillside road in Vinewood Hills, with a car to find nearby.

Gerald has heard about a cocaine sale to the Vagos under the radio telescope array in the Grand Senora Desert, and he wants the package. You drive out to the desert, take the coke from the guarded deal, and bring it back to his apartment.

Before you start

Bring a rifle or sniper rifle and body armor. Gerald warns that snipers and heavy shooters guard the deal.

Use a fast, tough car for the long drive back, because the Vagos chase whoever carries the coke.

With a team, let one player carry the coke while the others clear the road behind.

Objectives

  1. Steal the coke.
  2. Deliver the coke to Gerald’s apartment.

Dish the Dirt walkthrough

Get a car and head east

You start on foot in the hills above Vinewood, so find a car quickly and follow the route on the map. The deal is far out in the Grand Senora Desert, so pick something quick that can take punishment. Take the winding hill roads down toward the highway, then follow the road east into the desert and keep your lights on once the light fades.

Reach the array

The sale takes place among the big radio dishes at the Radio Telescope Array. Stop short and look over the area before you drive in, since the buyers and their guards have vehicles parked among the dirt tracks and bushes. Park off the track, use the car as cover, and clear the shooters before moving in. A rifle from a distance works better than rushing the cars.

Take the coke

Once the guards are down, move to the vehicles at the center of the deal and pick up the coke. Taking it starts the chase, because the Vagos in other cars will drive after whoever holds it. If the package is dropped, it shows on screen and you must grab it again. Get into your own car with the coke before they close in.

Drive to Gerald’s apartment

Now the job is a long drive back to the city on the main road. Keep moving and do not stop for the Vagos behind you, as a fast car will outrun most of them. Stay on the highway through the wind farm, then go into Vinewood and take the tunnel with the graffiti walls. Follow the route through Mission Row and Chamberlain Hills to the apartment, and park in the marked spot.

What fails this mission

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

  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

Gerald pays out cash and RP that scale with your time and your difficulty. The Mission Passed card appears when the coke is delivered.
