Toreno needs a helicopter’s cargo collected from the desert and wants CJ to cover it. You climb a mountain, light a flare, shoot down the rival helicopters that attack with a rocket launcher, then bring the package to a garage in Las Brujas.
Before you start
Bring full health and armor, since the rival helicopters shoot back.
You do not need to bring a vehicle, because the mission offers a Bandito, a Quad or a Sanchez.
Objectives
- Go to El Castillo del Diablo.
- Pick up the rockets.
- Take a vehicle and get to the top of the mountain.
- Protect the contraband helicopter from the spooks.
- Get the contraband.
- Deliver the contraband to the hideout.
Interdiction walkthrough
A favor for Toreno
Go to the ranch in Tierra Robada, where Toreno is on the radio. CJ asks about Sweet and Toreno says he is in a prison upstate and will be protected. He also reveals what Tenpenny and Pulaski did to Officer Pendelbury, then explains that he needs some cargo collected and tells CJ to take the buggy outside.
Head for the desert
Drive to El Castillo del Diablo, near Las Brujas in the desert. The ride is a long one, so take the highways, then cut across the desert once you are close. Toreno speaks to CJ over a speaker when he arrives, and tells him to take a rocket launcher and choose a vehicle from a Bandito, a Quad or a Sanchez.
Climb Arco del Oeste
With the launcher in hand, ride up the mountain track to the top of Arco del Oeste. The ground is steep and loose, so keep your speed up and zigzag on the steepest bits. At the summit, CJ lights a flare to signal the helicopter, and the Leviathan begins its approach.
Shoot down the spooks
Rival Mavericks appear and attack the cargo helicopter. Aim the launcher at them, lock on and fire. They move very fast, so lead your shots and keep moving. Take cover behind rocks when they turn on you. More arrive after the first pair, so stay near the flare and keep firing until the sky is clear.
Pick up the package
Once the rival helicopters are gone, the Leviathan drops the package north of Verdant Meadows, near the Abandoned Dock. Ride down the mountain, follow the marker to it, and pick it up. Toreno then tells CJ to take it to the garage in Las Brujas.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- The Leviathan is destroyed
After the mission
You earn $1,000. Verdant Meadows opens at Toreno’s ranch.
