Sidetracked and Driller

Master the Sidetracked and Driller missions in Grand Theft Auto V with our expert guide. Learn strategies for Gold Medals, stealth takedowns, and efficient completion.

Alright, let's get these two missions, 'Sidetracked' and 'Driller,' done in Grand Theft Auto V. They're pretty straightforward, but if you're aiming for that Gold Medal, we'll need to be a bit more precise. Think of them as a warm-up for bigger things!

Walkthrough: Sidetracked

1. First things first, head over to the Ron Alternates Wind Farm. You'll see an 'H' icon on your map marking the spot. This is where we kick things off.
2. Once you arrive, you'll need to deal with the railway workers. The goal here is to take them out quietly if you're going for that 'Undetected' Gold Medal. After that, make your way to the signal box and switch the tracks. This is crucial for setting up the next part.
3. Now, switch over to Trevor. He'll be in his helicopter, ready to pick up the freight engine. Line up the helicopter with the train and carefully lift it.
4. With the freight engine secured, take it to Trevor's Airship. After you've stored it, you'll need to go back and snag the flatbed carriage. Hook that up, and boom – mission complete!

Gold Medal Tips: Sidetracked

• Time: You've got 04:30 to finish this. Don't stress too much; rushing often leads to mistakes. Be patient, especially when picking up the engines.
• Undetected: To avoid detection, sneak up on the two workers. One's on the ground, the other's in the tower. They're usually pretty distracted, so a stealth takedown should work like a charm.

Walkthrough: Driller

1. Next up is the 'Driller' mission. Head to the 'H' icon located in LA MESA.
2. Your objective here is to steal the truck carrying the driller. Once you've got it, you'll need to lose any pursuing cops before you can safely store it in the designated parking lot.

Gold Medal Tips: Driller

• Mission Time: You have 05:00 to complete this. While shooting the guards might be faster, sneaking is also viable and should still leave you with enough time.
• Sneak Thief: For this, you'll want to be stealthy. Take down the first guard outside with a stealth attack. Then, move up to take out the next one. There's another worker to the left and one more just in front of him. You'll find the last guard near the digger at the back entrance of the site. A quick punch or a suppressed pistol shot will do the trick before you hop into the truck. If stealth isn't your thing, a suppressed pistol is your best bet.
