GTA Online Grab Your Ballas Mission Walkthrough

The Ballas are moving a truck through Rancho and Martin Madrazo wants it. You drive to their loading bay, clear the gang out, steal the box truck and take it to his lock-up in the desert.

Before you start

Bring body armor and a weapon with plenty of ammo, such as an assault rifle or SMG.

A fast car is worth having for the drive to the loading bay, but you will be driving the truck for the rest of the job.

With a team, one of you can follow the truck in a car and shoot at anyone who gives chase.

Objectives

Go to the loading bay.
Steal the truck.
Deliver the truck to Madrazo’s lock up.

Grab Your Ballas walkthrough

Drive to the loading bay

You start on foot beside a graffiti wall in El Rancho. Take the car next to you and follow the route through Murrieta Heights and El Burro Heights toward Little Bighorn Avenue. It is a short night drive on ordinary streets, so there is nothing to fight yet. Slow down when the marker gets close, because the loading bay is behind a fenced yard and the gang is waiting inside.

Clear the yard

Stop outside the yard rather than driving in, then take down the Ballas around the loading bay. They stand in small groups between the crates and parked vehicles, so use those same crates as cover and clear one group at a time. More Ballas arrive in SUVs while you fight, so keep your back to a wall and check the radar. Do not try to take the truck until the nearest gunmen are down, because the first shots they land will usually be at you.

Steal the truck

Once the yard is quiet, walk to the white box truck and get in. Move at once, because the Ballas in the SUVs come after you the moment the truck starts to roll. If your partner has a car, they can stay behind you and cover the rear. Lead the pursuers away from the main road if you can, and avoid ramming the truck into walls since damage builds up quickly.

Lose the chasers

A group of Baller SUVs gives chase as you leave. Do not stop to fight them with the truck: take the long avenues, keep the truck moving and let your teammates handle the shooting. When they drop behind, stay on the larger roads through Olympic Freeway and Sinner Street. The box truck turns slowly, so brake early for corners and take wide bends.

Deliver the truck to the lock up

Madrazo’s lock-up is in the Grand Senora Desert, so you have a long drive ahead, first up onto the freeway and then north through the hills. The road climbs past Vinewood Hills, where traffic is lighter and you can build up speed. Keep the truck on the road and ignore side routes. The last stretch leaves the tarmac for a grass slope that leads to the lock-up. Drive into the marker to finish, then step out of the truck.
