Grand Theft Auto is a truly massive game. Between GTA 5 and the constant updates from Rockstar for GTA Online; there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do.

Join me, then, in our continuing series, getting gold in every damn mission, in GTA 5 as we look at Offshore variant of second Grand Theft Auto Heist The Merryweather Heist.

…and don’t forget to hang about until the end, so you can catch our bonus tips, for getting through this first go.

Before we dive in; if you’re new to the channel, we do How To Guides, News and Giveaways; So consider subscribing and ringing the bell, to stay up-to-date.

Getting gold in this mission is a lot of fun, but might take a few goes if you’ve not maxed your stealth.

I also highly recommend grabbing some body armour for Michael, in case things go sideways.

Know any neat mods we could use to do a bit more exploration in Lost Santos, or North Yankton? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

In Trevor, Michael and Franklin, Trevor discusses the plan to Floyd’s Flat. Trevor and Franklin are on the Miriam Turner Overpass train and in the Trevor bus. Franklin is dropping Trevor and Franklin is going for the point of view. Any hours in the game go by and the quest begins again at midnight. The player is turned on Michael who’s waiting in a Dinghy next to the cargo ship. Michael plunges into the sea and stays on the freighter.

Michael steers the cargoman and works his way into it, while Franklin protects him with a sniper rifle killing the guards. Franklin destroys the officers, and Michael drops four Sticky Explosives on the ship in separate locations. Any other guards are actually detecting Michael. The player turns to Franklin, who fires a Merryweather helicopter and kills his custodians after Michael. If the guards are killed, Michael leaves the cargo carrier and investigates the explosive until a long way from the cargo carrier.

Michael hunts for the freighter’s wreckage with a dive gear and the player takes back control. Michael discovers the unit and is picked up by Trevor who is operating a sprinkler. On the shore the Submersible is raised with a crane by Floyd. Lester Crest appears at this stage wearing hospital wear and warning the trio that their stolen gadget is a very deadly, super-weapon. Trevor does not accept it, but Michael agrees to give Trevor another “performance.” Leaving Trevor alone in the harbour, Lester leaves with Floyd and Michael and Franklin leave the boat.

keeping the cargo bob in check before we dive in if you’re new to the
channel we do how-to guides news and giveaways so consider
subscribing and ringing the bell to stay up to date
getting gold in this mission is a lot of fun but might take a few goes if you’re
not super flash with the cargobob yet i also highly recommend the flying
lessons with michael prior to starting most of our gold medal objectives are
time based this time around we need to find the container in less
than two minutes eliminate all meriwether pursuers and we need to take
out the pursuers in four minutes or less and complete the whole mission in 14
minutes and 30 seconds right no time for faffing about let’s
get straight on into it
alright so we start off at floyd’s apartment and we’ll just skip that
cutscene and jump straight on into trevor’s truck
and away we go
now very much is a case of just following the gps all the way to the
airfield here
that was a a crook old drive so the sun’s just about gone down which means
that we get to go in under the cover of darkness so just pull into the marker
there michael will jump out we can see the submarine rocking up
jump into the cargo bob and then fire up the machine
so once we’re airborne we just need to deploy the grappling hook
and then gingerly pop ourselves over the top
of the submarine
and near enough is good enough with this one it will just kind of hook itself up
when it gets there there we go
okay and then we just need to head out to the marker next
so make sure you ascend a fair bit we need to get over the top of the mountain
without the cargo bob getting clobbered
and i will absolutely never never get sick of those water effects
or that sunset in los santos okay remember to ascend to get over the
mountains we need to make sure that we don’t
clip the cargo bob or lose it as trevor would be very upset
all right so we can see the test site is coming into view there
and we need to drop trevor not too far away from it
so once you’re over the yellow marker or close to the the pontoons there
you can release the sub and we’ll automatically switch to trevor
there’ll be a bit of chatting and then we can just pop the
trackify up using your mobile phone and once that’s booted we just
follow the red dot
all right now switched off the headlights here because i think they
tend to end up blinding me and i’ve had a lot of trouble seeing where i was
going anyway so i’ve gone with headlights off i’ll might
switch them back on afterwards when we get closer to the marker
make sure you don’t hit the bottom of the sea floor there
there it is get as close to the markers as possible just throw the lights back
on love the shark that is just a nice touch
grab the device and that’s just driven over it to collect it
and then we just want to ascend so hold the ascension button and
drive upwards as well
all right so just bubbling up
so i’m ascending using the ascending button and driving up as well
so that it uh it brings us up a bit quicker we are on a time limit remember
just heading to the surface now and once we’ve surfaced we’ll be prompted to
switch to michael
there we go great so we just need to line the cargo bob up and
this is probably the most critical part of the mission because it’s very easy to
drop the chopper into the ocean so very very gingerly and slowly descend
down and then collect the cargo collective
sub there we have it so straight up again
gain some altitude and head for the yellow marker
don’t forget to gain some altitude before we hit those mountains as well
otherwise it will end very poorly
okay so they have sent some boats after us so now we’re just onto the rail
shooter section there as we’ve swapped to michael just need to
take out the boats fairly straightforward and the chopper
as well so take out the shooter and then the
pilot there we are
one more boat there i think by the look of it oh we do have a few extra enemies
so again line them up and just shoot
get that boat probably a bit more of a threat than the chopper to be honest
there we go so that’s the shooter gone that’s another shooter gone and that’s
the chopper exploded one more to go
and that’s all of them taken care of oh i think there’s a few at the back as
well all right great just drop these guys
that’s him gone
and one more to the side there we are
and that’s all of them taken care of so we can now switch back
to michael and we’re off okay so i think that’s all the
resistance we’re gonna see so while we’re heading back to the airstrip
and before we get to any bonus tips it’s probably an opportune time to mention
that we’ve recently launched our patreon page

okay so we’re nearly at the airfield just back across the lake again
and again love the water effects there it’s just
stunning to see we can see the yellow marker there
and as we approach we’ll end up just gingerly popping
the cargo bob down oh sorry the the submarine then
all right so we’re just making our final approach now marker should
show up fairly soon
yep we can see it there all right so just plonk the
cargo bob down doesn’t have to be that gently
to be honest so you can just dump it and then drop the the chopper straight down
right into the cut scene we’ll just skip that for the moment
and that’s the highest priced done all gold as well which is absolutely
fantastic so thanks for watching to the end here
are my top tips for keeping the cargo bob in check
do the flying lessons with michael first it makes the cargo bob
much easier to handle and much more stable
be gentle in your adjustments when picking up the sub flailing wildly will
end up slowing you down and could cost you gold and if you’re
not confident with the cargobob jump into gta online and play simeon’s repo

done differently leave your comment down below
