Story Mission: Hit The Gas

• Prerequisites: Complete Story Mission: The Widowmaker
• Rewards: Medium Resistance (Holland Valley)
• Details: The Project at Eden’s Gate is collecting every drop of fuel they can find. Hijack and bring back some of their tankers to help keep resistance vehicles on the road.

MISSION Commencement

Once you complete the Widowmaker, expect a radio message from Mary May (you don’t have to visit her), explaining that gasoline is needed by the Resistance. You’re tasked with locating three cult gas tanker trucks and bringing them back to Fall’s End.

DELIVER the Vehicle

DELIVER Tanker Trucks to Fall’s End (3)

This mission now takes on a more “free-form” plan, as cult tanker trucks (pictured here) are one of the many vehicles that Eden’s Gate are utilizing throughout this region. You must locate a tanker trunk, remove the driver (and optionally defeat any cult members nearby who may witness your hijack), and then drive the truck back to Fall’s End.

Your map doesn’t reveal where tanker trucks are, so put this mission on the back burner as you complete other tasks in Holland Valley and keep a lookout for a tanker truck to steal. Concentrate on the main tarmac roads (tanker trucks don’t normally drive up dirt roads), and consider waiting at the Golden Valley Gas (if you have the patience). In fact, the east-west road between here and Lorna’s Truck Stop (the cult outpost over the bridge in Henbane River) is a good place to drive back and forth, looking for these trucks.

Don’t go looking for trucks in the two other regions; find them in Holland Valley, though trucks do travel between regions. You may have a better chance at spotting a tanker truck if you leave Holland Valley, visit the other two regions, and return to Holland Valley.

Hijacking the truck takes some planning. Usually, it’s a good idea to drive ahead of the truck, park your vehicle so the truck slows down, and shoot the driver in the head (from medium to close range). Or, drive to a vantage point, then snipe the driver (at long range). Obviously, explosives and copious rounds of gunfire aren’t advisable, as the truck is highly flammable! This also means ramming the truck off the road is a less-than-stellar idea.

The truck may become damaged during this confrontation. If other cult members arrive, run directly away from the truck and engage them in a firefight without the risk of stray bullets hitting the truck.

A truck may become damaged, requiring the Repair Tool (blowtorch) to fix it. Access the necessary perk and items prior to starting this mission to ensure a damaged (but not exploded) truck can still be salvaged.

Now drive the truck to Fall’s End. Accelerate quickly, ignoring enemies along the way, but don’t make any sharp turns or lose control. If cult roadblocks are ahead, swerve around them onto the grass verges instead of ramming straight through. Park the truck in the indicated spot next to the Spread Eagle.

After you deliver three trucks to Fall’s End, you receive a congratulatory message from Mary May, and the mission concludes.
