War and Pieces

Giver
Gerald
Location
Pause Menu job list, or Gerald's phone invite; you start on foot on the shore of Alamo Sea near Sandy Shores, with the Senora Desert trailer park marked ahead.

Gerald has heard that the Lost MC are selling cocaine to buyers at a trailer park in the Senora Desert. You break up the deal, take the package and bring it to his apartment in Strawberry.

Before you start

Bring a rifle or SMG and body armor; several armed bikers and buyers are on the scene.

A fast car helps for the long drive back. With a partner, one of you can keep driving while the other covers the rear.

Objectives

  1. Steal the coke.
  2. Deliver the coke to Gerald’s apartment.

War and Pieces walkthrough

Approach on foot

You spawn on the dusty shore road with a long way to go. Follow the marker along the lakeside street between the old houses, and expect a few armed gang members to appear on the road ahead, some riding bikes. Use the power poles and bushes beside the road as cover and shoot them before they get close. Keep moving; the longer you stay in one place, the more of them reach you.

Get a vehicle and cross the desert

The trailer park is far too far to reach on foot, so grab a car parked near the houses. A sedan is good enough, since the roads toward the Senora Desert are mostly straight and dusty. Follow the marker onto the main road, then take the dirt track toward the wind farm hills. Slow down for the corners on the dirt, as a skid can cost you time and damage the car.

Break up the deal

The trailer park lies under the power pylons at the end of the track. Park outside it and take cover behind the trailers and old vehicles, because the bikers and the buyers fight back together. Take out as many as you need and go for the person holding the package first. If the dealer flees, chase him down quickly, since the coke leaves with him.

Recover the coke

The chase can carry you across the open desert and along the railway line, where cars are easy to wreck. If the coke is dropped, the game tells you so, and you need to get out and pick it up again before anything else. Do not leave it behind. Once you collect it, your objective changes to delivering it to Gerald’s apartment.

Drive to Gerald’s apartment

From the hill, drive back to the highway and head south-west toward Los Santos. Bikers may follow you once you have the coke, so either shoot them from the car or outrun them on the straight road. Keep the car in one piece, because the objective fails if the coke is destroyed. In the city, follow the marker through Vinewood and down Carson Avenue to Strawberry, where Gerald steps out to take the package.

What fails this mission

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

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

After the mission

Gerald meets you outside, takes the package and tells you to keep quiet about it. You collect cash and RP, and you can pick another of his jobs from the Pause Menu.
