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.
Make sure you fly high enough, or else you will be detected.
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.
Jump and parachute onto the cargo ship.
After that, climb up the stairs and the ladder. Take out the first guard using your suppressed weapon.
Go to the right side, and you finally reach the bridge.
Head inside and take out the captain and the second guard. At this point, no matter what you do, the alarm will go off. But don't worry, as you've already completed the bonus challenge, which was to reach the bridge without alerting the guards.
Once they're dead, search the captain's body to get the terminal codes.
Use the codes to access the terminal and locate the containers.
Now, some containers will be marked on the minimap for you to go to and check. Before you do anything, take out the enemy helicopter by climbing on the platform on the right side of the bridge.
While you're here, take out as many enemies as possible from this vantage point.
Afterward, go down from the left side and be careful of the coast guards on the Dinghy.
There's also one guard on the far right side of this level.
Take the stairs to the lower level and continue moving forward while taking out enemies.
From here, take a right turn and then go forward from the right side.
When you reach the second open area with ventilation units, check your left, as a guard will be on the platform to your left. There will be another one on the platform to your right.
Once you've taken these soldiers out, climb up to your first container and use the bolt cutters to open it up.
Remember, the BF Weevil spawns in a random container every time you do this mission.
The pathway to all the other containers is somewhat connected and you won't have too much trouble getting to them. Just try not to jump down again.
Once you've located the container with the vehicle, go to either side of the container and interact with it to attach a flare.
After that, you need to get into one of the sparrows on the ship and protect the Skylift. This is one of the bonus challenges.
Fortunately, the enemy air support is minimal since we've completed the optional disruption planning mission.
Now, just deliver the BF Weevil to your Salvage Yard to complete this robbery mission.
That concludes our Cargo Ship Robbery with all the bonus challenges done.
With the BF Weevil successfully stolen and delivered, The Cargo Ship Robbery is complete.
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.
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.
