Explosive Situation walkthrough

A wasted afternoon

Go to the Four Dragons Casino on the Strip. With Johnny Sindacco shaken into admitting that his family has been vandalizing the casino, Woozie asks CJ to get hold of a stash of dynamite at Hunter Quarry. CJ takes a car and heads out of town.

Into the quarry

Drive out of Las Venturas to the quarry in Bone County, marked on the map. Follow the road north and take the highway. At the quarry, a message tells you to enter and steal the dynamite. The crates are guarded by workers, so approach with care and look out for a heavy vehicle.

Smash the crates

A help message says you need something heavy to smash the crates, and a dumper truck waits in the pit. Climb in and drive straight into the dynamite crates to break them open. A timer starts as the dynamite is rigged to blow. Run out of the dumper to pick up each of the four sticks, and don’t let the truck be destroyed.

Out on the dirt bike

With all four sticks collected, security blocks the exit and a sandstorm rolls in. Take the dirt bike and follow the arrows through the quarry’s ramps and conveyor belts to the way out. Ride along the top of the conveyor and the gangways, since the main gate is closed.

The drop

Once clear of the quarry, ride to the drop point marked on the map. The sandstorm lasts until you leave, so slow down in bends. Woozie’s assistant is waiting outside the quarry, so hand over the dynamite there and he drives off with it. His car must not be destroyed.
