One of the bonus challenges of this mission is to getting to the bridge of the cargo ship without alerting the guards. You can achieve this easily by simply calling for your Buzzard and flying to the cargo ship.

You don't have to drive to Elysian Island and take the Dinghy to the cargo ship. If you take the Dinghy, you're at a higher risk of getting caught by the Coast Guards.

First, call in your CEO vehicle, the Buzzard, and fly to the cargo ship.

When you reach your marker, fly slightly ahead of the marker and the ship so the Buzzard crashes away from the cargo ship when you exit.

Selling the Vehicle

You can now sell the BF Weevil to Yusuf Amir for the maximum score of $260,000 or salvage it for a quick $208,000. This vehicle has a lower value than some of the vehicles found in other robbery missions, such as The Gangbanger Robbery.

And salvaging it for a 20% decreased income isn't worth it.
And salvaging it for a 20% decreased income isn't worth it.

We always recommend selling it to Yusuf, whether you're doing The Gangbanger Robbery or The Duggan Robbery, always sell the vehicle to Yusuf Amir.

If you choose to sell it, Yusuf, you must drive the vehicle to the docks terminal.

Ensure you do not hit the vehicle on your way to the terminal, as the total payment value decreases with each hit.
