## Walkthrough

Time will skip to night, unless it is already nighttime. El Tiburón will call Rico.

El Tiburón: "*Oje Rico. Sorry I couldn't make it. This one's pretty big, and I'm assembling my team for extraction.*"

Rico: "*You said this was a big score. What is it?*"

El Tiburón: "*A smuggling operation will be passing by here. Among counterfeit money and stolen paintings is a vehicle I've heard whispers about through my sources: an authentic Menz Patent-Motorwagen.*"

Rico: "*What exactly is a Menz patent-whatever?*"

El Tiburón: "*Only the world's first car. Ever. It's worth a fortune. That's why I need somebody like you to get it for me. It's on a ship from Chile to New Zealand, but it will be stopping right here to pick up more cargo. You need to find which container it's in, find a way to get it off of the ship, and bring it to the rendezvous point I've marked for you.*"

Rico:"*Alright, but how do you expect me to get the container from the ship to the rendezvous point?*"

El Tiburón: "*Simple. Steal a transport truck from the dock. They'll probably have several, since they're adding more cargo.*"

Rico: "*Ah, so I steal a car to steal a car. Got it.*"

El Tiburón: "*One more thing: this operation has a lot of firepower, and they'll do a lot to secure that cargo. Try to be stealthy, but be prepared to get out of there ASAP. Contact me once you reach the rendezvous.*"

Rico: "*Understood.*"

There will be a marker directing you to a dock about 2 kilometers away. You can use the provided Coyle Mambo to get there. Once you're there, get out of the car. A short cutscene will play. The camera pans from the entrance to the ship.

Rico: "*Woah. There's got to be a hundred containers on that boat. I'll have to check the manifest to find out which one it is.*"

The game will direct you to the bridge, directing you to "*Get to the bridge and access the log without being detected.*" Once you board the boat, a crew member will spot you.

Crew member: "*Hey! Who are you? Are you my mercenary?*"

Rico: "*Uh, yes, I'm here to, do what you said.*"

Crew member: "*Get below deck! The manifest will be there. Don't get spotted.*"

Rico: "*Will do.*"

The objective will update to "*Get below deck and get to the log.*"

Follow the marker to the interior of the ship, towards the stern. Make sure not to get caught, just stay out of the flashlight beams and you'll be fine. Once you reach there, enter the room and hack the computer. The crew member from earlier will walk into the room.

Crew member: "*Good. Download the data and send it to me. That car is as good as ours.*"

Rico: "*Yeah...*"

Rico will send the crew member the data. A marker directs you to a container on the dock.

Crew member: "*Perfect. It's already off the boat. We'll have to steal that truck it's on. Follow me.*"

The crew member will run towards the truck, and starts shooting at some of the guards. Feel free to help him, but he will kill them all if not. Just don't get shot at too much. After you reach the truck, a short cutscene will play.

Over the PA: "*Alert. 2 insurgents detected. Scramble troops. Protect the cargo!*"

Rico: "*I suppose now's my chance.*"

Crew member: "*What? What do you me-*" \*gunshot\*

Rico: "*Sorry. Nothing personal.*"

Rico will enter the truck, resuming gameplay. You will be directed to the rendezvous point, which is about a kilometer north. Drive the truck there. The guards will follow you in deteriorated Black Hand Warrior Offroaders. You can shoot them, but they won't do much besides follow you. Once you get to the rendezvous point, El Tibúron will fly in using a Próspero Sky Crane. The crane will pick up the container. Get out of the truck.

There's 2 unique dialogue lines, depending on whether or not you've been followed:

If any enemy vehicles are present: El Tiburón: "*Rico! What the hell happened? Ah whatever, grapple on, they're after us!*

If no enemy vehicles made it: El Tiburón: "*Rico! Grapple on! They're not far behind us!*"

Either way, a group of old looking Dropzone Choppers will show up. Grapple on to the container.

El Tiburón: "*On our six!*"

They will begin firing at the helicopter. Destroy them with weapons or hijack them. Either way, bring them down. El Tiburón will dodge most of the shots, but eventually one can hit him, so be quick.

Once you take them down, the mission ends and the last cutscene plays. Rico and El Tiburón will be on the shore of Lago Perdido. The container will be in the background.

El Tiburón: "*So, one more time. You snuck past the guards, got caught by a crew member, but they weren't really a crew member and were also trying to steal the car, so you helped them find it and escaped to the truck with them, then finished them off once you had it, and were followed by a bunch of guys in old Black Hand cars?*"

Rico: "*I think that covers all the bases.*"

El Tiburón: "*Wow. I might need to lay low for a little. My sources said nobody else would be there. If somebody was, then something bigger could be going down. For now, I'll get the car sold and you'll get your share soon.*"

Rico: "*Thanks, but I don't need the money. Give my share to the Army of Chaos. Help them fight the good fight.*"

El Tiburón: "*Alright then. Adios.*"

Rico: "*Adios.*"
