The Convoy Resupply Mission - easiest way?

[egomaniac247]

So about every 10 resupply missions I get the Convoy ambush in Chapparel. You're supposed to go to a way point and wait for a Merryweather convoy to drive by, stealing the APC out of the bunch.

 

The Convoy typically exists of 2 or 3 gun mounted insurgents, maybe on Merryweather jeep, the target APC, and a helicopter.

 

Anyways, whenever I get this mission I usually just switch lobbies because 9xs out of 10 this mission becomes a sh*t-show for me and takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

 

I can deal with the convoy support easy enough but the APC has one tiny little slot in the drivers front window to shoot him out. He doesn't stop for traffic either. So you go on this wild goose chase, trying to shoot either A. Shoot him through the tiny little windshield slot with your drive-by weapon (uzi or mini) or B. you drive ahead of him, get out and try to auto-shotgun the little window slot.

 

Obviously if you miss, you gotta run back to your car (or find a car) and go catch up to him and do it all over again.

 

Surely there's an easier way, right? You can't just homing rocket or buzzard rocket him because it destroys the supplies.

[Gridl0k]

Have never had a problem with my trusty Combat MG, free aim and some newfangled AP bullets.

[GKey06]

had this mission a couple of times too and yes once it turned into a 15 minute mission trying to shoot him out the APC.

 

Recently thoug i parked my Kuruma in front of the convoys path and waddyakno...they all got out of the vehicles and i took them out one by one. easy enough.

When you come to the Ambush point wait for Agent 14 signal to shoot,if you shoot them during the signal the convoy will stop and leave the vehicles.

To make sure the ambush doesn't become an chase just use your MOC to block the road,but that is not necessary if you shoot at them when Agent 14 sends the message at your cellphone.

Easiest for me, fly to a location away from the point given on the map. If you have the Thermal scope it's easier, but you can snipe the driver of the Supply vehicle. The vehicles who defend the Supply vehicle will give chase, giving easy access to said Supply vehicle. Zancudo River, and Elysian Island are easier, as the other one by the church is harder to find a good sniping spot.

That works too,my way is more fun,but that way is more practical,i will try it later.

But...sometimes I miss my mark and have to give chase...

Is this one where you have to steal the Insurgent with supplies in the back?

If not then ignore me but if it is then put three Sticky Bombs in the road where the first armed Insurgent will drive and blow them up when they drive over, this will make a wreck that will block the road and the enemies will engage you on foot. Simple kill them all and the last Insurgent gunner and you are done.

[The Wandering Hunter]

just buy supplies

 

those long missions make stealing inefficient

This is what I do. I wait to shoot them and I've never had a chase, they stop and come out of their vehicles.

Wow I didn't know that and it's extremely useful. Will the insurgent gunner come out too by the way?

[RyuNova]

No, but if you use your car or even a motorbike to make a cover position you can easily headshot them before they can kill you.

Yep,especially him.

 

It is weird but,i never had to steal insurgents while doing missions for my own bunker,it is always APC,but when i am helping randoms it is always Insurgent.

[Chang]

Real enjoy this mission, especially if u let the convoy through to tail'em and get text from Agent 14 "NOW!!!!!" Like damn, is he watchings from a satellite, he's into it!

 

Makes me wish Lamar had Breaking and Entering missions, and unless you forgot to silence ur ifruit phone he would text you "what ya find!!?!" during said B&E blowing ur cover in the house.

 

Love Fist! Hyped 4 2morrow!

Block road with MOC, take cover and eliminate targets. Sometimes the APC driver makes it easy by getting out to shoot you. Be sure to take out the Valkyrie first. Once in the APC, send the MOC back to storage and have some fun with the contenders.

 

 

Edit: Watch out sometimes they get a little inventive...

 

 

BTW I figured out with the Bridge ambush just drive the MOC in, not across to block the road. Makes for a nice killbox.

No need for that all if you just wait for Agent 14 signal.

If you do the MOC mission for APC, the convoy vehicle changes from Insurgent to APC

[CrysisAverted]

Get there

Block the road

Shoot the helicopter down from a distance with my MkII Sniper, (This has the effect of the APC hauling ass towards you while leaving its protection detail behind, however sometimes they all rush towards you, results may vary)

Shoot everybody down

Get into APC

[Jammsbro]

I used to kill all the enemies and then drive in front of the apc after it drove away and reverse fire through the slit.

 

But now I just start shooting at the apc right away. It's actually really easy to kill both guys if you just stand there and fire with a high fire rate weapon.

 

After than kill everything or just run to the apc and get in. They don't shoot at you very much.

I did the MOC mission to get the discount,i still get APC in this ambush mission.

[Red Lynx 23]

At that spot in chapparell, take the bulldozer that is parked nearby and block the narrow dirt road with it, in case the unarmed Insurgent driver tried to make a break for it.

 

And when the convoy drives towards you slowly, I use the standard sniper rifle, or the machine gun on my Insurgent Pickup Custom to pick him off. Then deal with the rest of the convoy, before stealing the target Insurgent.

[Zader]

Literally all you have to do is wait for the signal, and the idiots all get out of their cars, save for the guys on mounted guns.

When you get the text, pop at a gunner, and the lot should all abandon their heavily armoured, military-specification vehicles, to instead run at you on foot with inaccurate rifles.

It's piss easy if you're just a bit more patient and don't have a crew that thinks with their trigger fingers.

[xCarlaP_x]

I just park my moc in the way, they'll crash into it and get out of their vehicles.

[Gridl0k]

Insurgent before MOC mission, APC after.

 

Wish I knew this before I did the MOC mission. f*cking APC's slow as sh*t.

[Ghoffman9]

What I typically do is shoot the helicopter down out of the gate, get into my Weaponized Tampa and shoot the others as they arrive. I simply aim my minigun turrets for the driver and he goes down immediately when I land a few shots.

[gizmonomono]

Stan in front of them and minigun all the soldiers in the way. Once you get in the insurgent you're good.

[Sanches]

I never had problems in this one. I just do drive by on my motorcycle and NPCs are surprisingly aim-less.

[Pedinhuh]

Zancudo river bridge: Call a CEO tureted limo, hop on the MG and rain hell on everyone, focus on the mounted shooters first.

 

Great Chaparral(Valley next to the church in Blaine County): reach the designated location, get on the Dozer provided and make a roadblock, lay down some mines if you desire, move to the road on the left and wait for them to come, shoot the helicopter first, I recommend taking from far away as you will have more time to shoot the others, I recommend bringing your own armed vehicle to this one.

[Ice_cold2016]

I just do it on foot mainly. Its pretty easy. Or on an Opressor. Just take out the excess in the opresser, gun the driver down through the window and off ya go.

 

Or just go on foot and wait and gun everyone down, gun the driver down through the window and off ya toodle.

[Alien Reaper]

I usually use an APC, and drop a proximity mine inside the bridge before the convoy arrives. When the first vehicle in the convoy gets destroyed, all vehicles behind it stop, the merryweather mercenaries leave them and try to attack me on foot, so they are very easy to take down, especially since I'm in an APC lol. Only the gunner of the last insurgent remains in his vehicle.
