Just Cause 3 Guide › Story Missions

Conflicting Interests

This mission begins on the docks. Drive up the coast, fly, or even take a boat to get to it. Start the mission when you arrive, and talk to Looch. He’s a decent sort, and points out the military base where a Bavarium Scanner is located. That’s what Dimah wants you to find, so it’s clearly your next target.

Get to Vigilator Nord and Search for the Bavarium Scanner

Drive a motorboat around the coast and into Vigilator Nord, the nearby settlement. This place is well defended, so you can’t search for the scanner immediately. Instead, take out the defenders before opening the marked containers.

Who’s Playing With Laser Pointers?

Be very careful about the snipers here. They have laser sights and would love to give you a friendly headshot. Stay behind cover while you get your bearings, and trace the angle of their lasers back to determine where the snipers are.

Also watch out for patrol boats and regular militia troops. Approach this area cautiously and fight as you go. It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you push right into the center of the settlement.

While you’re here, take aim at the many destructible targets. Use rockets and your tether to destroy a variety of radar towers, fuel containers, and so forth. It’s all health anarchy for you to spread.

Liberate the settlement to give yourself some breathing room, and then get the scanner from the shipping containers. This is a breeze once all of the defenders are down!

That said, you can get the scanner without Liberating Vigilator Nord. If you’re trying to get through this quickly, go ahead and grapple to the marked containers. Blow them open (with any type of explosive), search each, and get out of there. It’s efficient to clear this settlement right now, but not required.

Once you have the scanner in your possession, set a waypoint for Cima Leon. It’s about 2.5km to the west. That area does have aerial defenses, so fly low and watch out if you’re taking a chopper over there. It’s easier to come by land because you can stay under cover and avoid a fair amount of trouble, but that’s up to you!

Reach the Grate

The marked grate is on a large wall of the compound. Zip up to it and watch Rico place the scanner. A short scene follows.

The scanner has a minor malfunction, as it were. Go pick it up in the valley below, and talk to Sheldon. He’s at Café Francesco in the town of Fortalessa, 1.6km to the south. Head to him right now.

Meet With Sheldon

Clear any Heat that you pick up along the way, because Sheldon isn’t the type of guy who wants his business aired publically. If you run into too much fighting, you might have to simply Liberate the entire town. It’s not nearly as heavy a battle as you had back in Vigilator Nord.

Sheldon is in the center of town. Find him when the fighting cools off. Give him the scanner and complete the mission.

Mario calls in and has very good news. There might be a defector from Di Ravello’s researchers. To find out, meet Mario in Lantuina. It’s in the province of Lavanda, which is northwest from where you are now.

Or, if you’re willing to do more work for the cause, you can unlock another mission right now.

The Secret of Vis Electra

This mission requires you to complete a fair amount of Liberation throughout this area. Right now is about the time that you’re likely to consider that mission, so we’re going to cover it here and then get back to our defecting scientist afterward!
