03/04

Walkthrough

  1. The rail yard

    Undetected asks that the workers are dealt with without raising the alarm. A sniper rifle and suppressed weapons keep it quiet.

  2. Two lifts

    A freight engine and then a flatbed, both carried by Skylift to Trevor's airstrip. Flying low moves the helicopter faster.

  3. Four and a half minutes

    The clock covers both loads, so neither needs setting down carefully — nothing in this mission is scored for damage.

04/04

Gold Medal

2 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.

  1. Time

    Finish the mission in 04:30.

  2. Undetected

    Don't get caught taking over the train tracks.

  • Playable

    Trevor Philips, as they appear in GTA V.

    A former bush pilot running guns, meth and grievances out of Sandy Shores. Violently unpredictable, oddly loyal, and the only one of the three who never pretended he had retired from anything.

  • Gives the job

    Lester Crest, as they appear in GTA V.

    Lester Crest

    Heist planner

    The planner behind the crew's largest scores. Physically frail and technically formidable, he is the reason a job that should be impossible turns out to have a route through it.
