Simply getting to the assignment marker for this mission may present a challenge because Northern Kyrat is a much tougher hood to cruise than the balmy southern climes you’ve rolled through thus far.
But you still have a place to go and a job to do. The trick is finding the proper transportation. Your buzzer can make the trip now, although it’s a long flight. One of Min’s cargo trucks also makes a durable transport, if you can hijack one during one of the times you complete the Pagan’s Wrath quest. Or, you can stay off the roads (where Min’s soldiers tend to congregate) and check the farm at x:502 y:724 for a dune buggy.
It’s even more fun to drive than it looks.
When you do make it to the town of Utkarsh, head to the marked house for a cutscene and an unwelcome visitor.
After a quick shootout, you’ll find yourself piloting a buzzer and trying to kill Min as he speeds away in a truck below you. The odds of you successfully capping Min are slim, but he’ll pass a few explosive items you could try to snipe.
Or, you could just pull out your trusty M79 grenade launcher and blow the truck away.
Barring that, when Min says “I’m almost to the safehouse”, aim to intercept him at the tunnel entrance. He’ll stop, get out of his truck, and give you a perfect chance to blast him.
Soldiers around the tower and Min’s mountainside destination are equipped with rocket launchers. They’re not great shots, but since you’re basically flying a lawnmower, caution is still advised.
Even More Locked and Incredibly Loaded
Completing this mission will unlock a score of new weapons in the trading post. You’ll obviously develop your own faves, but we’d be slacking if we didn’t nudge you toward the D50 pistol, which boasts a high-capacity clip and higher damage than the .44 Magnum, and the rapid-firing SPAS-12 shotgun. They’re almost guaranteed to up your game.
