Mission walkthrough

  1. Take the modified car

    Enter the mission vehicle and identify the target on the radar. Check the displayed control for deploying a stinger before catching up.

  2. Move ahead of the Stratum

    Overtake on a clear stretch of road and position your car in the lane the target is using. Leave enough distance to release the strip without colliding.

  3. Deploy a stinger carefully

    Release a strip when the target is committed to the same line. You only have three attempts, so avoid deploying at a junction where the car may immediately turn away.

  4. Take and deliver the car

    After the tyres are punctured and the driver leaves, enter the Stratum. Complete the mission’s tyre-repair sequence, then return the car to the garage.

Key point

Wait for a straight road before using a stinger. A correctly aligned single strip is more reliable than releasing all three while following too far behind.
