- Salvager: Use the Trackify app, which functions like a sonar, to locate the container. Maintain acceleration while adjusting your position based on the red blip. Drive into the container to secure it.
- Mission Time: Having Michael with flying lessons can make handling the Cargobob more precise, aiding in completing the mission within the time limit.
- Weathering The Storm: Focus on destroying helicopters first, then boats. Switch sides when prompted and maintain fire. Eliminating all enemies quickly prevents further pursuers.
