Your friend's guide to Just Cause 3's Abandon Ship mission. Learn how to protect Mario and the EMP, use the Urga Hrom D, and unleash the EMP to secure victory.

Alright, so for the 'Abandon Ship' mission in Just Cause 3, the first thing you're gonna want to do is make sure you've liberated Porto Cocler in Val De Mar. This is super important because it unlocks the Urga Hrom D Helicopter for you. Before you even kick off the mission, grab that chopper and park it by the beach right next to where the mission starts. Trust me, it makes things way easier.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The mission kicks off with you needing to protect Mario and the EMP. Hop into that Urga Hrom D you parked earlier. Your main job here is to take out all the incoming boats and cars. Seriously, just blast anything that moves.
  2. 2
    Keep an eye on those cargo boats – you absolutely have to destroy them before they reach the beach. If they make it, they'll start damaging the EMP, and we don't want that.
  3. 3
    Just keep wrecking everything that comes at you. Eventually, Mario's gonna radio in and say, 'Rico -- They're coming from everywhere!'. That's your cue.
  4. 4
    As soon as you hear that, bail out of the chopper. Don't worry about landing it perfectly; the EMP is going to take care of it anyway. Your priority now is to get into position to activate the EMP the second Dimah gives you the go-ahead.
  5. 5
    After that initial EMP blast, you'll get a brief breather. Head over to the base and grab the Fire Leech Rocket Launcher. It's chilling in a weapon crate right by the entrance.
  6. 6
    Now, the DRM is going to show up again. You'll need to take down paratroopers and then switch to your rocket launcher to deal with the incoming battleships and helicopters. Remember to use the EMP whenever it's available – it's a lifesaver.
  7. 7
    Once you've wiped out the final wave of enemies, you'll have completed the mission!
Tips
  • Having the Urga Hrom D ready to go before the mission starts is a massive advantage for clearing out the initial waves of boats and cars quickly.
  • Don't get too attached to the helicopter; it's going to be destroyed by the EMP, so just focus on using it effectively until that point.
  • Prioritize destroying the cargo boats to protect the EMP.
  • Switching to the Fire Leech Rocket Launcher is crucial for taking down the heavier DRM vehicles and ships later in the mission.
  • Keep an eye on your EMP cooldown and use it whenever possible to thin out enemy numbers.
