"Docks to Stock" contact mission discussion

"Is there anybody I hate more than Merryweather's CEO Don Percival? OK, quite a few people. But he's enough of a snake to antagonize just for the hell of it. Merryweather are smuggling in some high-tech weapons. They're currently stashed under a bridge in a shipping container so you'll need a heavy-lift helicopter. See if you can borrow one from the army base?"

I always like to be the pilot on this one. It's a bit challenging to escape in this very slow helicopter, but I ususally go up and over Mount Josiah then fly next to Mount Chiliad.

 

When getting to the cargo, there is a very annoying glitch that usually ends up in mission failure -- If you start shooting a Merrywether before "arriving" and get a wanted level, it changes to lose the cops, and it can be difficult to lose the cops again (so the objective changes back to go to the base) if the Cargobob is already shot up. If you wait to shoot until after the objective changes, it goes a lot more smoothly.

Love this mission TBH but it doesn't seem that popular generally speaking.

 

When I steal the cargobob, I just go straight up until the cops begin searching, and then wait, as police hellis don't spawn while you're over the base, then fly to the container. I land just on the other side (south) of the bridge (the area will count as having been reached as you pass over the bridge if low enough) between the watertower/gas thing and.the water.

 

I then take out a few of the Merrywetehr guys, pick up the container with the lifty thing, drive it a short distance back around to my cargobob, put it down, back up a little, get back in the 'bob and take it home.

You ecer gone so high in the Cargobob that you get an "Out of Area" warning?

My favorite quick buck mission

 

1 guy goes to the cargo crate at spawn, enough time to get there before the cops are lost by other guy...

 

Other guy hops the fence and get in the "bob",

 

if you go north east of the base a little bit (not farther than the ridge on the mountain just past the pegasus spawn) no helicopters spawn at all. Just fly straight up or not I dont care, while losing the cops.

 

Very quick one done right

Just one guy in military base,other player(s) waiting for you on spawn place to pick them with bob or they go on docks(they can call merryweather pick up chopper if they want).

You can lose cops on two ways:

-Flying over sea close to beach or

-Land bob close to bridge and hide under bridge until you lose cops

But always watch on map because police spawn fast and unpredictable.

Fly on docks,but first hit yellow marker and land bob(If you play alone or you want to help).

Kill and merryweather soldiers and Mendoza pick container with forklift and go right on free space.Now expect one/two Mesa's with soldiers,kill them,go in bob,pick and deliver container.

This mission give good money and rp.
