MISSION Commencement
As soon as the Resistance Rating for Holland Valley increases to Level 2, John Seed realizes you aren’t playing around and sends out three truck convoys to punish your little uprising. Dutch radios in to let you know about them.
DESTROY John’s Group of Trucks to the West, East, and North
Each convoy is identical, consisting of three white pickups, each with a driver and a gunner using a mounted machine gun. They patrol the indicated geographical areas of Holland Valley. Find them on your world map, intercept, and remove all vehicles and foes.
RECOMMENDED Paths
There’s no one plan that’s optimal here due to the random location in which you encounter each convoy, but there are recommendations you can use to your advantage:
Assault the vehicles in a remote area, rather than close to a cult outpost, so no further reinforcements arrive.
Set up a trap at long distance, well in front of the first pickup. Snipe the driver from extreme range, and then shoot the other drivers so the pickups become immobile. Advance (usually in cover) and lob in grenades to soften up the remaining enemies and destroy the pickups. Then kill any stragglers.
Have allies attack simultaneously from disparate directions so the mounted gunners can’t focus all their firepower on you.
Other explosives are excellent; prep the road with a proximity mine or an explosive device you trigger yourself. If you space out all three, you can detonate one under each pickup for a massive and satisfying chain reaction!
Park a vehicle on a narrow dirt road to block the convoy, and get out before the convoy arrives. Attack from cover as they try to steer around. If you can park more than one vehicle to block the convoy, so much the better.
Rake the convoy from the air using weapons mounted to a chopper or aircraft; flying makes convoys quicker and easier to find too.
