One of the Heists will be set at Humane Labs. My guess is that its been removed so there isnt another similar mission set at the same place as the heists?. Its happening?...

[Stephen]

Probably broken just like the rest of them that were removed.

 

EDIT: Probably adding 2 more choppers, with ultra high AI accuracy.

They have removed this mission before also, and returned it to the list with the following update. You'll notice Crystal Clear Out II and III are also gone, probably others as well. I've seen this happen a few times.

My guess is they found a bug in the mission and removed it while they sort it out.

[Shaundi.]

Any mission that's broken/buggy gets temporarily removed.

What's happening with Base Invaders? someone implied in another thread that it returned a while ago.

I have no console as I sold it about 6 months ago.

[laserdad]

Base Invaders is back, I played it a couple of days ago.

[bulldog385]

@ Laserdad: Actually CCO II and III are on the map now, they Spawn At a Certain Time of the Day, I forget what Times though.

[Sussus Amongus]

Nooooo! My second favorite mission!

[laserdad]

Ah, ok. I just noticed that they were gone from the list. I never use the icons on the map.

 

Actually, don't get me started on the stupid f&%$ icons on the map.. ahem. Carry on.

[luisniko]

Nothing's wrong with Chemical Extraction.

 

But then, every mission that pays decent, fun, and people are knowing the methods to finish it effectively, gets removed or 'improved' it so it can sh*t on people's faces.

[shmok2]

There are only 3 missions in which the tank is really helpful (Chemical Extraction, Death From Above, Time To Get Away) so I hope it's not permanent.

 

I hope Chemical Extraction is not someone's favorite mission. If R* will ever remove Stocks and Scares I'll seriously gonna be heartbroken. I'm addicted to this one. Every time I'm online I do it several times.

[Relative007]

Have hardly played the game recently so did not notice. That said, according to funmw2, R* can add new Jobs without the need for an Update, so similarly they can remove Missions if there are Issues with them...

 

Main thing is, stuff like this is noticeable right now since it has been over 2 months since the last Update so there are lots of Bugs that need to be Patched and R*s solution a lot of the time is to disable the Content until the next Update...I mean betting in Racing has been done for nearly 2 months to my knowledge.

If R* had even a pinch of respect for the players they would have give an announcement on Twitter or on whatever before a removal of a contact mission & when (or if) it will be back.

@ Laserdad: I only know they're on the map, because I have a 100k Playlist of 3CCO III/3 Potshot/2CCOIII/2Potshot and a 6 CCOIII Playlist Bookmarked that I found on RSSC.

 

@ Shmok2 CE was Definently one of My Favorite Missions... Especially Solo, I would Always Do Titan of a Job right before it, only if I was in Los Santos though.

Stocks and Scares used to be my favorite mission alongside Dry Docking. Full of action and tactical challenge.

 

Thanks to the 'improved' version which featuring popping up gun-wielding ninjas, it's now just a brainless mission only to see people die twice even before hacking the door and finish the rest of players on fleeing attempt after grabbing the document.

 

I even tried to make a way round and be a sniper on the other side of building. However, if I hide at the spot where I can shoot the enemies, another NPC will pop up beside me and shoot.

You should block the side entrance with a Mammoth or a Mesa in order to prevent waves of enemies from coming up to the office & then enter the structure from the main gate. Drive to the metal staircase which leads to the office (not the 1 near the side entrance), kill bad guys near the staircase, run up & after you have finished with the terminal & the safe run back to your car.

WTF this is brilliant!! I f*cking love that mission but the random spawns and the guys entering the side entrance make it ridiculously hard. Thanks to you i'll be doing it agian, thanks!

I contacted Rockstar who said, "The mission was intentionally removed. Sorry for the inconvenience." Sux because that was one of my favorite missions.

I've played Crystal Clear Out II and III in the past week, so they're back on xbox One.

 

Anyone seen Effin' Lazers?

[God-eater]

Coveted seems to be missing as well - haven't had it yet on xbone, can't see it on the list.

[JSwartz0181]

All the non-contact contact mission (CCO2/3, Coveted, Coasting, Close Action, Factory Closure, Dirt Road and Potshot) have been missing from the Online -> Jobs list for some time, but they're still in the game. You just need to go to their coronas at the appropriate times if you want to play them, if they aren't coming up in the voting screen.

Coveted has been gone since before it launch on current gen systems. But it showed up on the vote screen for me in early February

Too fun. Pays quite decent. Everyone knows how to do it well.

 

No wonder why it's removed.

[DavyBaby2011]

Only missions that have been removed are Chemical Extraction and Chopper Tail. All the others are still there (CCII, CCIII, etc).

When they changed the mission to add those waves of guys spawning outside that door, a crew member and I worked it trying to find the best way to survive, and we came up with a similar "plug the hole with a Mesa" solution (difference being, we just climbed over the Mesa, dropping into combat, and proceeded as usual). The problem I had was, when playing with randoms, every single time, someone would either blow up or move the Mesa away from the door so they could get in, thus allowing the MW guys in too. Pretty much stopped playing the mission with randoms after that. After seeing your post though, I thought maybe people were wising up, so I figured I'd try it last night when it came up in a voting screen others were voting on (normally I'd have just freemoded then). Thing is, I tweaked it a bit by using two of the three Mesas that are right there to form a box around that door, and thus a little staging area for us to gather, effectively making it pre-change.

 

First attempt, they didn't get the idea and tried moving them (d'oh!), but after everyone died and we restarted, they saw what I was trying to do and actually attempted to help (although the person driving the second one initially parked next to me, rather than behind and perpendicular, and then when he did get behind me, he left a huge gap between the two, which I had to fix). Anywoo, having that staging area actually helped quite a bit!

There was a thread not too long ago that had the spawn time of these missions on the free roam map and their locations.
