Ticket to Elysium

Giver
Lamar Davis
Location
Lamar's call, or the Pause Menu job list at rank 18. You start on foot near the tanker's route.

Lamar wants a chemical tanker that is already on its way to the Palmer-Taylor power station in Palomino. You hijack it, lose the police and take it to his depot.

Before you start

Bring a fast car or bike so you can catch the tanker.

Take out the driver, but do not shoot the tank, because a destroyed tanker fails the job.

Armor helps once the police start chasing you.

Objectives

  1. Steal the tanker.
  2. Lose the Cops.
  3. Deliver the tanker to the depot.

Ticket to Elysium walkthrough

Catch the tanker

The tanker is moving, so get a car quickly and follow the marker toward Palomino. Match its speed and stay behind it rather than ramming, because a crash can blow up the tank. Look for the point where it slows or stops to jump out and take it.

Hijack it

Pull the driver out without shooting the tank, then get into the cab and drive off. The moment you do, you get a wanted level. If you are with a partner, one of you can drive the tanker while the other follows in the car.

Lose the cops

The police join in as soon as you take the tanker. Use the highway and the side roads to break their line of sight, and keep moving. If the tanker is left behind, the objective returns to stealing it, so catch up in a fast car.

Deliver it

After the stars drop, head for Lamar’s depot. Keep to the main roads, brake early for turns and watch for traffic at junctions, because the trailer swings wide and a hard hit can wreck the tank. Stay in the lane you are in on the highway and drive into the depot to finish.

What fails this mission

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

  • the team runs out of lives
