Learn how to ace Far Cry 4's Armed Escort quests! Protect Golden Path trucks from ambushes, use RPGs, and keep the truck's health up. Tips for success!
Alright, so you've been liberating some Bell Towers and now you're seeing these 'Armed Escort Quests' pop up. Basically, these are missions where you hop on top of a Golden Path truck and go full-on gunner, blasting away at any enemies that try to stop it. Think of it as a mobile turret defense mission.
You'll be dealing with all sorts of ambushes, including fake accidents designed to slow you down, and of course, enemy vehicles trying to run you off the road. Because of this, you'll definitely want to pack some serious firepower. An RPG or a grenade launcher is your best friend here. Keep an eye out, too, because there's often a grenade launcher conveniently placed on a crate near where the truck starts – grab it if you see it!
The truck's health is displayed right at the top of your screen, so always keep an eye on that. If it starts taking too much damage and gets low, you'll need to hop off the truck. If the damage is bad enough, you'll get the option to use your Repair Tool to fix it back up. Just a heads-up: the truck won't actually move unless you're riding on top of it, so you need to be up there for it to make its journey from point A to point B.
There are a total of eight of these Armed Escort quests scattered throughout the game. They start showing up after you liberate Bell Towers. Completing just two of them will net you a bonus in Rupees, and if you manage to finish all eight, you'll unlock the Predator signature weapon in the shops. So, get ready to defend those trucks and rack up some rewards!
