Mission #1: Coke
For the first setup mission, "Coke," the crew splits into two teams: an air team and a water team. The water team must approach the yacht to steal the drugs. The air team should provide support, either with firepower from a distance or by positioning to drop their passenger onto the yacht. All crew members must collect all of the packages. After securing the coke, the team must get back to land through the tunnels and proceed to the last objective point for delivery.
Mission #2: Trash Truck
In "Trash Truck," the second setup mission, the crew must first steal a garbage truck. Subsequently, they must use this truck to drive to four specified locations and collect garbage bags containing drugs. Players should watch out for waves of enemies that will attempt to intercept them. When engaging enemies at the gas station, be careful not to cause an explosion that could destroy the objective or truck.
Mission #3: Bikers
The third setup mission, "Bikers," requires a stealth approach. The crew should equip silenced weapons, proceed to the Dinghy, and use it to reach the Lost MC trailer park. Players must use stealth to take out the enemies in the trailer park. We recommend splitting into two groups and coordinate attacks. After clearing the area, the crew must take the van from the north edge of the trailer park and escape. All players, except the driver, should focus on shooting pursuers.
Mission #4: Weed
For the fourth setup mission, "Weed," the initial phase requires two players to position themselves as lookouts and snipers, while the others remain on the ground to engage enemies at close range. Players should beware of the train that passes through the area. After the area is cleared of enemies, the crew must head for the trucks. Two players should take the gunner truck (Technical), while the others get the remaining trucks (Benson). All vehicles must then escape to the drop off point.
Mission #5: Steal Meth
In the fifth setup mission, "Steal Meth," the crew must go to the O'Neil brothers' farm wearing masks and take care of the enemies. While complete eradication is not mandatory, clearing most threats is recommended.
Players must then head to the back of the farm to locate a tanker. Two players should then drive trucks (e.g., Insurgents if available, or other suitable vehicles) in front and behind the tanker to protect it during the escape. We don't recommend using explosives due to the close range engagements and potential risk to the tanker!
Heist Finale: Series A Funding
For the "Series A Funding" finale, the crew must first defend the warehouse from attacking enemy waves. This involves shooting from cover and using mines when necessary for strategic defense.
After that, have two players use the trucks (Technical and Insurgent Pick-Up, if acquired) to provide armed escort and protect the vans as you move them. When driving, use the bridge near the final destination as cover if the helicopters are giving too much trouble. Players must fend off all enemies until all vehicles reach your goal location.
