Before you start

Bring a good automatic weapon and armor for the soldiers inside.

Keep your health high. Guards rush you from several sides in the warehouse.

  2. Drive down to the compound at Ocean Docks.
  3. Open the front gate by shooting the switch on the other side of the wall.
  4. Shoot the switch to open the warehouse door.
  5. Get in the forklift.
  6. Load the crates onto the truck.
  7. Head up to the lock-up.

Robbing Uncle Sam walkthrough

Ryder in the backyard

Find Ryder in his backyard, so high that he barely notices you. He boasts that he is a genius for quitting school, then asks who owns more weapons than anybody. The answer is the National Guard. CJ turns down a joint, and the two of them climb into the Mule that LB left on the street.

Drive to Ocean Docks

Drive the Mule south to the army compound in Ocean Docks. The truck is large and slow, so brake early for corners and stay off the curb. Ryder keeps needling you, but CJ tells him to ease off. Park beside the compound wall, where the front gate and its guards are visible.

Open the gate

Climb the wall next to the entrance and drop inside. A soldier stands guard near the gate switch, so take him out, then shoot the switch to open the front gate. Ryder drives the Mule in and parks. Stay low and use the wall as cover, since the guards come at you one at a time.

Clear the warehouse

Shoot the second switch to open the warehouse door. Inside, soldiers guard the stacks of shelves, so fire from the doorway and move in only after you clear the first few. Use pickups for ammo and armor. When the room is quiet, climb into the forklift beside the wall.

Load the crates

Drive the forklift to each crate, raise the forks, lift the crate and carry it to the back of the Mule. Move slowly, because bumping shelves or driving into a crate can destroy it, and the mission fails if too many are lost. More soldiers arrive during the loading, so watch the radar and shoot them first.

Escape with the weapons

After all the crates are loaded, get in the Mule and drive out of the compound, then head up to the lock-up. Take the road along the docks and over the bridge, and avoid collisions, because a damaged Mule can still blow up. Park in the garage to end the mission.

What fails this mission

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

  • Ryder dies
  • The Mule is destroyed
  • The forklift is destroyed before you collect the crates
  • Too many crates are destroyed before you collect six of them

After the mission

You earn Respect, and if you have completed Doberman the SMG goes on sale at Ammu-Nation. Reuniting the Families becomes available once the other required missions are done.
