Bomb Da Base: Act II

Cutscene

8-Ball answers the door of his offices and tells Claude that Salvatore phoned ahead, but a job like this is gonna need a lot of fireworks.

He'll need $100,000 to cover expenses, but you know with him you get a lot of bang for your buck! Come back when you have the money.

You'll appear back outside near a blue marker. If you've already got over $100,000 cash then you can walk straight into the marker to continue the mission, otherwise do some side missions until you've hit the target. Vigilante, Firefighter and Taxi Driver missions are your best option but depending on how much cash you need, it could take awhile to hit the magic number.

Once you've got at least $100,000, head into the blue marker.

8-Ball answers the door again and says "let's do this thing!". He can set the bomb to detonate, but he still can't use a gun with his injured hands, then passes Claude a sniper rifle telling him it should help him pop some heads.

8-Ball picks up a small cardboard box which contains the explosives and leaves his building.

Once you're back on foot you'll have the sniper rifle in your inventory. The game will give you some instructions on how to use it. Hold L2 to aim down the scope of the sniper rifle and use left analog stick to zoom in and out, while the right analog stick allows you to adjust your aim.

Grab a vehicle and make your way to the harbor, pretty much exactly where you had to follow Curly Bob to in an earlier mission. You can take a shortcut through the "tramp tunnel", or follow the road through Saint Mark's. Park up in the blue marker when you arrive.

Cutscene

8-Ball tells Claude to find a good vantage point and he'll head in once he fires the first shot. The camera then cuts to the ship showing two Cartel Cruisers parked out front, with numerous Cartel guards spread out along the top of the ship, some of them precariously placed next to red explosive barrels...

8-Ball then exits the vehicle and gets into position.

Drive around to the South-East side of the warehouse next to you. You can take the shortest route, heading towards the ship's ramp, just don't get too close. Stick next to the wall and you'll be fine. You'll then find some stairs which lead to the rooftop.

Follow the stairs up to the roof then stand on the corner nearest the ship.

You'll now need to kill all of the enemies before they get a chance to shoot 8-Ball. I'd definitely recommend starting with the two at the bottom of the ramp, next to the parked Cartel Cruisers. You can use the sniper rifle, or a rocket launcher if you have one, but make sure you don't hit 8-Ball.

Next you should work your way through the guards on the ship, starting from the left, near the ramp, to the right at the front of the ship.

You can shoot the red barrels which will explode and hopefully take out a few enemies, saving you some time.

The sniper rifle will take out the Cartel soldiers, or most enemies for that matter, in one shot. Don't worry about getting headshots because it can be quite difficult with their eractic movements, a single shot in the chest or arm is good enough to take them down.

Once the majority of the Cartel are taken care of, 8-Ball will run to the front of the ship to plant the bomb. Things will then go quiet for a few seconds.

Cutscene

8-Ball high-tails it across the top of the ship while everything explodes around him.

He just about makes it down the ramp before it falls into the water, shortly followed by the ship which sinks after a large watery explosion.

Mission Passed!

Feel free to grab a Cartel Cruiser and take it for a spin after the mission. This is the only time you'll be able to acquire one in Portland.
