Scrapyard Challenge
Drive a Sanchez around the junk yard in Harwood completing stunts and collecting colored coronas to earn points. Score at least 21 to pass.
To start the Scrapyard Challenge checkpoint mission, you need to get on the parked Sanchez next to a wooden hut at the Junk Yard in Harwood, North Portland.
There are a variety of checkpoints floating around, each awarding points on collection.
- Green checkpoints are worth 1 point and are relatively easy to get, usually on ground level.
- Amber checkpoints are worth 2 points and are slightly more tricky to reach.
- Red checkpoints are worth 3 points but are substantially more challenging to get to.
In order to beat (and not match) the target score of 20, you're going to need all of the greens, most of the ambers and a few reds.
Tips
There's not really a suggested route as it depends a lot on luck and skill, but in general, you're much better off taking it slow and going for the amber and red checkpoints.
- You can quickly acquire 6 points from the start, grabbing the green checkpoint straight ahead, then heading behind the car crusher and carefully driving over a thin wooden plank, collecting an amber and red checkpoint on top of a bus.
- You can also grab an additional 3 points by jumping from the high wall onto the small portacabin with a red corona.
- After that, you can speed into the ramp to the right of the car crusher and collect a green and red checkpoint high above.
- Try to make your way up the mud wall at the West end of the junk yard where there are a few additional greens and two fairly easy ambers to collect. If you manage to follow the top path all the way around, there's a ramp at the end which can provide an easy jump to grab a red checkpoint.
- You should then look to pick up the remaining green checkpoints and look for any easy ambers that remain, such as one on top of a bus near the start which you can access via a ramp, and another up a thin wooden plank behind the parked Sanchez.
- If you can work out a technique to do the above, you should pass 20 points and complete the mission.
The Scrapyard Challenge checkpoint mission is a requirement towards 100% completion.
