Mission walkthrough

  1. Take the drugs to the meeting

    Enter the marked van at Diaz’s and drive to the exchange point. Keep the vehicle intact through the delivery. Once the meeting setup begins, watch for the instruction to deal with snipers rather than remaining beside the van waiting.

  2. Use the sniper rifle

    Collect the indicated rifle if needed and locate the marked rooftop attackers. Find a position with clear sightlines, then zoom in for controlled shots. A close obstruction can block your shot even when the enemy is visible above it.

  3. Clear every sniper in time

    Work through the targets before the DEA arrive. Check the radar for any remaining shooter rather than repeatedly scanning a roof you have already cleared. Avoid leaving the designated area to hunt unrelated enemies.

  4. Deliver the new truck

    After the exchange, enter the truck specified by the objective and take it to Diaz. Drive fully into the garage, get out and leave the garage as instructed. Merely parking outside the mansion does not complete the handover.

Key point

The delivery vehicle changes after the deal. Follow the truck marker, then finish the exit-from-garage instruction.
