Lamar wants a gas tanker that is crossing the city along the Great Ocean Highway with hired guards. You hunt down the rig, deal with the escort and drive the tanker to the drop-off in El Burro.
Before you start
Bring body armor and an assault weapon or SMG, because the guards shoot back from several vehicles.
Two players works well: one clears the escort while the other gets into the cab.
Do not shoot at the tanker itself, since a damaged tank can blow up and fail the job.
Objectives
- Steal the tanker.
- Deliver the tanker to the depot.
Going Down the GOH walkthrough
Head for the Xero Gas yard
Grab a car and follow the marker toward the Xero Gas yard by the airport, where the first tanker rigs sit in their loading bays. Take the route along the coast road, since traffic there is lighter than in the city streets. Park a short distance away and check the yard on foot before you go in, so nobody catches you out in the open.
Climb into the rig
The rigs wait in numbered bays beside the warehouse. Walk up to the cab and take the driver’s seat. Once you are in the truck, the objective changes to delivering it, so pull out carefully and keep the long trailer away from walls and parked cars. Hitting things hard can damage the tank, so take the first bend slowly and ease out onto the road.
Deal with the guards
The guards in their cars and the cement truck are protecting the tanker on the highway. When the objective goes back to stealing it, get out and fight on foot. Use the wall and the fence line along the road for cover, and aim at the shooters, never at the tank. Move up the road between targets and keep your armor topped up. Clear everyone nearby before you climb back into the cab.
Drive the tanker to El Burro
With the tanker in your hands, follow the route markers across the city to the depot in El Burro. The rig is slow to turn, so brake before corners and stay on the wide roads. Watch your mirrors, because more guards in vehicles can catch up with you from behind. A partner can shoot from the passenger side while you keep driving. Stop in the marker to finish.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- the tanker is destroyed
- the team runs out of lives
After the mission
The Mission Passed screen pays out cash and RP based on how fast you were and how many lives you used. Check your Pause Menu for the next job from Lamar.
