Heavy Metal walkthrough

Head to La Puerta

Dax explains that two friends working from a camper van had their copper wire stolen by the Armenian Mob. Take the helicopter toward La Puerta and land near the steel recycling yard on the marker. Dax also sends a picture of the rival boss, so keep it in mind before you go in on foot.

Find the rival boss

The yard is full of gang members. Use cars and crates as cover and work through the guards, searching the bodies until you spot the boss from Dax’s photo. Once he is down, open the Snapmatic app on your phone, frame his face and take the picture. It sends to Dax on its own, and then you wait for the next call.

Recover the stolen goods

Dax then marks a Bobcat XL carrying the copper wire and chemicals nearby. Take out any guards around it and get in. A warning tells you the cargo will explode if it takes too much damage, so treat the pickup like fragile freight. The rival gang responds with reinforcements as soon as you start moving.

Deliver the load

Follow the route toward the drop-off and keep the Bobcat as steady as you can. A damage bar at the bottom right shows the state of the cargo. Take corners gently, avoid curbs and skip any chase; outrunning the pursuers is better than turning to fight. When you arrive, two contacts wait beside a Surfer. Step out, then leave the area using one of the Veruses parked nearby.

What fails this mission

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

  • the Bobcat XL is destroyed

After the mission

You earn $50,000 and 1,000 RP once you leave the area. Dax will have another job for you when you ask.
