    Position the crane over the first container and lift it with D-Pad Right.

  17. 17
    Select either the Freighter or Offshore Approach to plan the next heist.

100% Score Requirements:

  • Time (20:00): Move the containers quickly into position. Selecting the Approach does not count against your time.
  • Employee of the Month: Complete the mission without damaging the containers.
  • Perfect Surveillance: Take all three photographs of the boat as instructed.
  • An Honest Day's Work: Complete the mission without causing a disturbance at the docks; do not attack or run over anyone.
Tips
  • Use the overhead view when operating the crane to make it easier.
  • Shooting the cables holding the sub will save time in the Minisub approach.
  • Mod (a community-made modification that changes the game) a fast vehicle with armor and bulletproof tires before starting the Cargobob approach.
  • When approaching Fort Zancudo for the Cargobob, use the north entrance off the Great Ocean Highway.
  • To lose the Military Chopper in the Cargobob approach, head towards Sandy Shores Airfield and keep low.

Shortly after the mission, you will get an email from Wade which starts the next mission depending on your Approach.

A. Minisub (Both Approaches)

Weapons: Sniper Rifle (silenced).

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Arrive near the ship.
  2. 2
    Acquire the Sub by either going onto the ship and pulling the switch on the crane, or by shooting the cables holding it up.
  3. 3
    Once the Sub is in the water, swim out to it and drive it to the Extraction Point.
  4. 4
    Take the retrieved Sub to the Warehouse.

100% Score Requirements:

  • Mission Time (8:30): Shooting the cables will save you some time as you don't need to spend time running onto the ship.
  • No Boarding: Get the Sub without boarding the ship. You need to shoot the cables and drop it into the water.

NOTE: If you did the Freighter Approach then go to Chapter MWH2-A otherwise continue on.

B. Cargobob (The Off-Shore Approach Only)

Notes: You should get a fast vehicle and mod it with armor and bulletproof tires before doing this mission.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head towards Fort Zancudo but approach it from the north entrance off of the Great Ocean Highway.
  2. 2
    Once on the base, make an immediate beeline for the chopper. The fast car should outrun the ability for the tanks to aim at you and the bulletproof tires should keep the soldiers from shooting out the tires and slowing down the car.
  3. 3
    When you get to the chopper, quickly get in and take off.
  4. 4
    Lose the Military Chopper sent in to destroy you by heading towards Sandy Shores Airfield and keeping low. After you get some distance away from the base, you will automatically lose the (wanted) level.
