Lester Crest
Location
Lester's phone call or the Pause Menu job list at rank 16; you begin on foot in a park in Los Santos.

Lester wants a black truck that works as a mobile data center, parked in a storage unit in Banning guarded by the Triads. You clear the guards, find the truck and drive it back to his warehouse.

Before you start

Grab a car on the way, because the storage unit is across the city from where you start.

A rifle or an SMG with a lot of ammunition helps with the Triads.

Bring body armor; reinforcements arrive after you clear the first guards.

Objectives

  1. Go to the storage unit.
  2. Take out the Triads.
  3. Search the storage unit for the truck.
  4. Get in the truck.
  5. Deliver the truck to Lester’s warehouse.

Master Data walkthrough

Go to the storage unit

You begin in a park, so run to the street, take any car and follow the marker south. The route is a mix of city streets and open roads, and there are no threats on the way. Slow down as you near the docks, because the storage unit is in a dock area with a bridge behind it and the Triads can see the road.

Take out the Triads

The Triads guard the front of the storage unit and the yard in front of it. Park behind cover, such as shipping containers, and work through the guards one at a time. Do not rush into the open, because they fire from the roof and from behind crates. Reload behind cover and keep your armor up. After the first wave, two cars of reinforcements arrive, so stay near cover.

Search the unit

Once the guards are down, the objective changes and you have to search the storage unit for the truck. The truck is hidden in the building and does not appear on the radar; only a search area does. Walk through the warehouse and check each corner of the search area until the truck shows up. Crouch behind crates if more Triads turn up.

Drive the truck to Lester

Climb into the black truck and drive it back to Lester’s warehouse. Take it easy on corners, since the truck is heavy and the mission fails if it is destroyed. Stick to main roads and avoid ramming traffic. A partner can follow in the car as an escort. Park inside the warehouse to finish.

What fails this mission

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

  • the truck is destroyed
  • the team runs out of lives

After the mission

You get cash and RP, and Lester’s other jobs remain open in the job list.
