Mission walkthrough

  1. Enter the marked Rumpo

    After Trial By Fire, answer El Burro’s call and get into the indicated van. The timed pickup trail begins once the job is underway. Read the timer in your version: the original release has a tighter opening allowance than The Definitive Edition.

  2. Follow the trail without skipping blind corners

    Each magazine pickup extends the countdown. Keep the van centred on the trail and look far enough ahead to anticipate turns. The Rumpo rolls easily if you combine hard steering with a kerb, so brake before changing direction instead of trying to rescue a slide afterwards.

  3. Catch the thief at the end

    Continue collecting toward the docks until you reach the thief. Follow the objective to deal with him; once this stage is reached, the pickup countdown is no longer the obstacle. Do not risk the whole run by making a broad detour for a single missed magazine while time is low.

  4. Deliver the van behind the shop

    Take the vehicle to the rear of XXX Magazines as directed. Drive into the delivery marker and let the mission finish. Collecting every magazine provides an additional cash bonus, but the essential route is to reach the thief and complete the return delivery.

Key point

If a corner causes repeated failures, learn that turn rather than chasing a shortcut you cannot reach with the remaining time. El Burro’s phone can offer Turismo again after the chain is finished.

Optional for reaching the ending; required for 100% game completion.
