Grand Theft Auto Online – Complete Walkthrough for “Off the Rails”
The Los Santos drug wars have been heating up in Grand Theft Auto 5, and it’s time to take on the final Soiree into the acid-laced world of Dax. In this guide, we’ll show you how to complete the final mission of the LS Drug Wars – “Off the Rails”.
Overview
In “Off the Rails,” players must infiltrate a drug-filled warehouse to acquire illicit chemicals for Dax, then use a train to transport them to a rendezvous point. This mission is entirely solo, meaning players must rely on their own wits and low-rank weapons to complete it. This guide will walk you through each step of the mission, providing tips and tricks to make it easier.
Preparation
Before starting the mission, it’s recommended that you stock up on full snacks, full armor, a heavy automatic grenade launcher, grenades, and an armed or armored vehicle. While an armored Kuruma, Duke of Death or Weaponized Ignis are preferred for these types of encounters, using a standard open four-wheel drive will make it more Noob friendly.
Starting the Mission
Once you’ve joined a public, invite-only, or crew lobby in GTA Online, head over to the new D on the map for Dax or the Freight Shop marker if he hasn’t called you yet. You’ll find the starter Corona in the yard in front of the warehouse. This epic mission takes place at night, even if you start it during the day, which can be a challenge. If you own a pair of night vision goggles, the mission will be much easier.
Infiltrating the Warehouse
Once you start the mission, head to your car and drive to the new marker on the map, but stop short of the guard house and take out the guard in front. There is no passive pathway available, so you’ll need to fight your way through the guards. Once you get through the gate, go under the camera and up the stairs where things will start to get wild. Don’t worry too much about the guards, they’re not great shots, but take out any that you can as the opportunity presents itself. Make your way to the elevator at the back left of the compound, marked on your map with a green keypad. Make sure your health and armor are full before running up to the keypad. Guards may still shoot you during this process, so be careful. After a few seconds, you’ll be dropped into a hallway in the main building. Grab some cover and watch out for the guards flanking you from behind. Push forward into the main warehouse where you can take out any stragglers. Head around to the loading dock and take a photo of the papers on the pinboard. Then, take out any additional guards that have spawned in and grab the crowbar. Start popping the seven large wooden crates; five of them contain the chemicals you need. Make your way back to the entry hall and activate the elevator. Then, make your way back to the car. Keep an eye on incoming guards, but resistance shouldn’t be too strong here.
Transporting the Chemicals
Jump in your car and head up the road. Once you get to the top of the bend, you’ll need to go a bit cross-country. Head down the hill and onto the tracks, then start heading towards the yellow marker. Pull up on the other side of the platform, making sure your car is clear of the tracks. Then, head up the platform, up the stairs, and into the control tower where you’ll find the switch. The prompt top left will let you know which button to press to fire it off. Head back out of the control tower and back to the car. You’ll see another marker pop up for the tool chest. Make your way over to that one and grab it. Watch out for any construction workers, as they can get a little fresh. Dax will then tell you to get to the train wreck. Jump in the car and head over, then pull up a little ways from the bridge.
Defending the Train Wreck
There are armed mercs on foot scouting the site with fresh ones coming in periodically, as well as buzzards armed with miniguns, which have poor accuracy but will rinse your armor and health if they hit you. Pilots are the first priority, and foot soldiers are the second priority. Take out the first chopper, then take out any guards and make your way to the first car of the derailed train. Each of the cars has two small shipping containers, and you’ll need to jump into the middle and cut open each one. Keep an eye on the button prompt in the top left when you get close. You can still take damage during this animation, so make sure you’ve taken out any threats before you start it. If there’s a chopper incoming, get behind cover quick or run away if you have to. After inspecting all five cars for a total of 10 containers, Dax will tell you to make your way towards the new Green Dot. Hang back for a second before jumping in too fast.
Escaping the Warehouses
Once you’ve cleared all of the guards and any choppers that might still be floating about, jump in the Brigade. Back it up a touch and then head left into the ditch and onto the tracks. Go around any remaining tankers, cars, and carriages along the way, then onto the road. Hang a left over the bridge and follow the GPS path on the minimap. Meriweather will be on your tail most of the way, but ignore them. They won’t damage the truck very much if you just keep driving. Crashing doesn’t appear to do too much damage either. The health meter in the bottom right only appears to be affected by bullets. Head back to the warehouse and drive into the yellow Corona to finish the mission. At the end of the mission, players receive 250 Grand, in addition to the regular mission pay, making it a cool half mil for the entire series (during launch week). We’ll do a recap after the next set of updates.
