Complete the East Convoy mission in Far Cry 2 by ambushing the patrol and collecting diamonds. Learn where to find the MGL-140.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you did not accept the mission at the east weapon shop, fast travel to the southeast bus station.
  2. 2
    Collect the diamond briefcase (2) located behind the bus station, near the rear wall.
  3. 3
    Commandeer a patrol truck, being aware that an enemy patrol truck frequently operates in the area.
  4. 4
    Drive east into the desert, swinging north when you approach the lone baobab tree.
  5. 5
    Continue north toward another baobab tree and veer west, passing a third baobab. This route bypasses the roadway’s guard post and the improvised desert guard post marked as a black dot on your (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) (radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)).
  6. 6
    Proceed west through the valley and stop north of a large rocky knoll before reaching the roadway.
  7. 7
    Use your (tracker) to locate the diamond briefcase (2) on the knoll.
  8. 8
    Continue west to intersect the road well south of the weapon shop, positioning yourself north of a patrol vehicle’s turn-around point.
  9. 9
    Make your way north, monitoring the convoy’s position to avoid its path.
  10. 10
    Park your vehicle south of the weapon shop, outside the blast radius, and walk north to set up your ambush.
  11. 11
    Locate the unguarded safe house just north of the weapon shop to acquire an MGL-140 grenade launcher. This weapon is otherwise unavailable until the final convoy of the second half of the game.
  12. 12
    Set up a string of IEDs at the road junction near the weapon shop, spacing them on both sides.
  13. 13
    Retreat to (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)) near the weapon shop with a clear view of the junction.
  14. 14
    When the convoy slows to make the turn, detonate your IEDs to complete the mission.
  15. 15
    Before leaving the area, harvest any remaining diamonds.

Diamond Locations (Southeast):

  • A briefcase (2) is behind the southeast bus station, near the rear wall.
  • A safe house southeast of the bus station has a double rock formation to its east; the briefcase (3) is in a cutout on the east side of these formations.
  • Directly west of the oasis, between a large double rock formation, lies a briefcase (2).
  • East of the oasis and east of the pond, a briefcase (1) can be found.
  • West of the southwestern safe house, high on the cliffs, is a briefcase (3). Drive past the safe house and about three-fourths of the way down the mountain. Park near a sandy incline and walk east along the grassy path and rocks to reach it. Hostiles may be present if you did not take the safe house.
  • In the canyon on the southwestern part of the southeast sector map, walk east from the canyon until your locator flashes to find a briefcase (1). Watch for a patrolling truck.
  • North of the previous location, descend cliffs overlooking a lake. Walk to the west end of the lake to find a briefcase (1) near an old lean-to. Watch for a patrolling truck.
  • Along the south end of the mountain north of the lake, at the north end of the lake, is a briefcase (2). South of this is an abandoned camp with an assault truck; steal it and speed through the guard post to return to the southeast bus station area.
  • North of the southeast bus station, on the roof of a derelict bus at an improvised guard post (marked by a black dot on your map), is a briefcase (2). Use your vehicle’s hood to access it.
  • North of the guard post, on the north-south roadway toward the weapon shop, a briefcase (2) is located on a rocky knoll north of a lake on the east side of the road. This is part of the East Convoy procedure.

Diamond Locations (East):

  • Northwest of the safe house north of the weapon shop, past a shallow pond, is a briefcase (2) on the ground.
  • Due north of the weapon shop, at the mid-point of a crescent-shaped mountain south of the OGC farm, is a briefcase (2) along a path.
  • West of the weapon shop, near the waterfall at the east end of a long narrow body of water, is a briefcase (3) on the rocks.
  • Due east of the weapon shop, on the opposite side of the mountain, at a shack where the road fades into the scrub, is a briefcase (1) on a table. A golden AK-47 is also present; take it to save 10 diamonds. Store the golden AK-47 in your primary crate (costing 16 diamonds) to retain possession if you are carrying a different primary weapon.
Tips
  • The MGL-140 grenade launcher, though rusty and prone to jamming, can provide approximately 25 shots before failure and offers significant firepower early in the game.
  • The route described for reaching the convoy bypasses guard posts and patrols, making it safer.
  • Space IEDs on both sides of the road junction for maximum effect.
  • The golden AK-47 is a valuable find, saving you diamonds on a weapon purchase.
