Tips
  • Show No Mercenary: As Franklin, gun down all attacking choppers and boats. Switch positions as needed to target new threats, paying attention to the radar. Prioritize taking out helicopters by aiming for the pilot.
  • Salvager: Use the Trackify app, which functions like a sonar, to locate the container. Maintain acceleration while adjusting your position based on the red blip. Drive into the container to secure it.
  • Mission Time: Having Michael with flying lessons can make handling the Cargobob more precise, aiding in completing the mission within the time limit.
  • Weathering The Storm: Focus on destroying helicopters first, then boats. Switch sides when prompted and maintain fire. Eliminating all enemies quickly prevents further pursuers.
  • Experimental Super Weapon (stolen and returned)
  • $20
