Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the lifting helicopter

    Go to the Breaker’s Yard and enter the marked helicopter. Learn the magnet controls from the on-screen prompts before approaching a target. A low, stable hover is easier to correct than a fast dive onto the pickup.

  2. Move the first container

    Fly to the compound and lower the magnet over the marked container. Wait for attachment, climb clear of nearby obstacles and deliver it to the cargo bay. Descend slowly over the drop zone before releasing the load.

  3. Intercept the road shipment

    The next container is moving on a truck toward the Little Havana police station. Match the truck’s direction and speed before lowering the magnet. Lift the container away once attached, then return it to the cargo bay as instructed.

  4. Rescue the car

    Reach the car before the bikers destroy it. Stabilise over the vehicle, attach the magnet and lift it out of their reach. Carry it to the marked parking lot and lower it safely into the delivery area.

Key point

Reduce forward speed before each pickup. Matching a moving target is more reliable than trying to grab it during a steep, fast pass.
