Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the truck and crew

    Go to the marked Trashmaster and get behind the wheel. Follow the first collection route with the crew aboard.

  2. Make both pickups

    Stop in each destination marker and wait while the crew retrieves the bags. Do not accelerate away as soon as someone reaches the back of the truck; let the pickup sequence finish.

  3. Escape to Fishmarket South

    After the second stop, drive to the drop-off while the crew deals with pursuers. The truck turns slowly, so use wider corners and avoid narrow shortcuts that can trap it. Deliver the vehicle intact.

Key point

Your role is the driver. Leaving a pickup early or getting the truck wedged between obstacles is a bigger risk than failing to personally shoot every pursuer.
