'Diamonds are for Trevor' suggestion;

[MikeyBelic]

After getting the diamonds and proceeding to the boat you basically are forced to jump off the pier and faceplant into shallow water, thus in the process losing 50% of your health/amour. I'm not necessarily complaining about the lost health, but the time it takes the character to get back up.. well it's just annoying af.

 

Does anyone else believe this should be patched in the next update? Making the boat more closer to the beach or something? Different location etc.

... Can't you just trigger the marker then go off to the side of the pier and travel along the beach to get to the boat? It's been a while since I last did that mission, but I don't remember ever having to trigger anything at the high end of the pier, only at the start of it.

Im have no idea what you are talking about OP. Never had an issue getting into the boat in this mission.

[God-eater]

You're not "forced". No rule says you have to jump off the Pier, or even walk down it - the sand runs right up to the end of the Pier. Just drive down, hop out and climb into the boat. Hell, if you take one of the Merryweather jeeps you can just drive it right out into the water - you'll make the boat easy before the jeep dies.

There's a spot on the dock where there isn't a railing. You player just slides off an doesn't lose any health. I don't see the problem here.

[MikeyBelic]

Well new players to the mission would most likely take the pier.

 

When you arrive at the first marker doesn't the helicopter instantly get deployed? Not sure since I've only played it two or three times since I came back. If so, time being of the essence the quickest way would be to speed down the pier in your car and hop straight out and do the jump.

 

And honestly, the simplicity of it really..

I run down the pier and there's an opening where you just slide off into the water and take no damage.

 

Start doing that.

 

 

Helicopter spawns as soon as you get in the driver seat of the boat, not when you touch the marker.

 

I usually trigger the spawn, then jump out and swim to shore and pull out the heavy sniper.

You do realize you can stop the boat and take the Helicopter out, right? Just stop when you see it get near and get ready.

I do that in "A Boat In The Bay" all the time; it seems like there is an island that is at the perfect distance to allow me to do that as well...

when i jump i go into a dive and i don't lose health. not sure what your problem is

Good tip, it must be because the boat is still moving that I jump into the water automatically. I usually just sit and wait on the beach and take the chopper and the 2 boats out lol

Maybe - but after I hurt myself the first time I'd start looking for alternative ways down.

 

Heli gets deployed when you get into the boat.

 

Personally, my method, after recovering the diamonds, is to land my Buzzard on the beach next the boat, get in the boat to trigger the back up, get back into Buzzard and waste the back up, casually the drive boat to the drop off. Too easy.

 

If you lack a Buzzard, you can still jump out of the boat to deal with the back up. I usually hit the beach and break out a sniper rifle.

The yellow marker and gps make some players glued to them. it's sad really, there are so many options for approach and tactics. I cargobob the boat sometimes.

Is the name of this mission a pun with "Diamonds Are Forever"?

 

Diamonds Are For (Tr)eve(o)r?

Do you really need to ask that question?

I know, but I'm trying to see if there any link with the movie other than its name.

[Jolly Swagman]

^^^

The saying "diamonds are forever" was around before James Bond movies and the title is just punning on the saying.

[Soran Is On]

Call cargobob
