Decoy

Cutscene

Donald Love offers Claude a lesson in business. If you have a unique commodity, the world and his wife will try to wrestle it from your grasp... Even if they have little understanding as to its true value.

SWAT teams have cordoned off the area around his associate and the package. He needs Claude to get over there, pick up the van and act as a decoy to keep them busy as he makes good his escape.

There's no time limit to reach the van, so grab any vehicle you like and make your way North, West then over the lift bridge to Shoreside Vale.

As you reach Pike Creek, you'll notice a large number of parked police vehicles, with Enforcer swat vans, police cars and even cops on foot at the end of each street around the block.

Head to the garage and you'll find the truck.

Once you get into the Securicar, a 3 minute timer and damage meter will appear and you'll be given a six-star wanted level for the first time in the game - although it's more of a fake 6 stars as thankfully the army won't show up in their Rhino tanks.

You need to survive for 3 minutes without being blown up. Given your high wanted level, you'll pretty much always have at least one police helicopter shooting at you and the truck isn't bulletproof so that's probably how they'll get you. You really need to find somewhere to hide which is under cover to avoid the helicopter gunfire.

This may be a glitch given I recently completed Bullion Run for the D-Ice payphone, however the number 2 garage just down the street was open and driving inside protected me from all damage while the police struggled to find me. If this works for you, it should be an easy way to pass the mission.

Assuming it doesn't, your best bet is to head down the hill to the airport and drive into the hangar where the roof will protect you from the helicopters. Make your way to the airport, either dangerously down the large grassy hill, or more safely via the main roads.

Then drive inside the hangar where you'll find a Dodo. Some of the police cars may be able to find you and chase you in here, but you can just drive-by them. All you need to do is stay alive until the timer expires. If you get lucky, the cops won't be able to figure out how to get in and you'll be completely safe.
