How to Get Gold in GTA 5 Mission Nervous Ron

Grand Theft Auto is a truly massive game, between GTA 5 and the constant updates for Rockstar for GTA online, there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do. Join us in our continuing series getting gold in every damn mission in GTA 5. In this video, we’ll take a look at Grand Theft Auto mission Nervous Ron, where we’ll have a crash course in flying a plane and acquire an abandoned airfield. Don’t forget to hang around until the end so you can catch our bonus tips on picking up precious seconds in this mission.

Overview

Like a lot of early missions, we’re in a bit of a timeline, so we recommend going for gold on a subsequent playthrough of this mission. If you try for gold on the first time out, you’ll miss a whole heap of important exposition. We also highly recommend picking up some body armor and a small automatic prior to starting. To get gold in this one, we’ll need to get five headshots, kill all the bikers while we’re laying on the wing of the plane, fly under six bridges, beat Ron in the race home, and do the whole thing in under 12 minutes.

Walkthrough

We join Trevor at his trailer, where we’ll jump straight onto one of the handy quads and head down to the local ammunition. Pick up some body armor, grab a sniper rifle and the advanced scope, and some ammo if you haven’t got any already. Load up with some other bits and pieces, including a grenade launcher. Jump on the quad and then do a little bit of cross country, heading for that water tower over the way. Jump off the bike, climb the ladder up to the tower, and then walk into the marker.

This is our first time using a sniper rifle, so it’s a bit of fun. Track him and take him out once he stops. Then, take out the first guard and pop the lights as well. Retain back onto Ron and wait for him to go to the next prompt. When the van comes up next, hold off taking the guy out until he’s finished on the phone. Wait for him to hop out of the truck, then take him out. There’s another guy up in the watchtower, so give him a pop and wait for his friend to come around. Once Ron comes over to rig the tank to blow, wait for the biker to stop and clip him. Take an extra moment to line up the chopper and try to get it on the first go.

Now, it’s time to take out all of the bikers while we’re on the wing of the plane. Don’t let any of them hit you or you’ll fall off. Be sure to grab the shotgun and Trevor’s ability once you’re back inside the hangar. Take out anyone that moves, use the ability when it’s night time, and take out the trucks as necessary. Don’t let the little buggers flank you either. Once you’re done, run into the plane, and you’ll automatically jump on the wing.

Now, we have to fly the plane under six bridges. It’s a bit of a challenge. Take a different approach to the valley to get through some of the bridges. Stay low and inside the valley. The plane may be a little bit jittery because we don’t have full marks on the piloting, but it’s still relatively easily controlled. Remember to stay low to avoid being pinged by the military base, and line yourself up for that marker on the left. Use your alien to line everything up spot on and drop inside the blue zone. Stay low and sneak through the bridges. Once you get through the hardest one, the rest are relatively easy.

Finally, it’s a fairly straight run to the airstrip. Gingerly put the plane into the ground and then slowly into the hanger. That’s gold. Congratulations!

Bonus Tips

Here are our top tips for saving precious seconds wherever we can:

  • Keep your scope on Ron fully zoomed as he makes his way up to the hangar. This allows the game to know that you’ve sighted him and will move things along quicker.
  • Take out the lights on the tower as early as practical. This will save Ron having to wait for them.
  • Wait until your marker is well inside the drop zone before dumping your cargo so that you don’t have to circle around.

Conclusion

a bit of a timeline so i recommend going for gold on a subsequent playthrough of
this mission if you try for gold on the first time out you’ll miss a whole heap
of important exposition i also highly
recommend picking up some body armor and a small automatic prior to starting
to get gold in this one we’ll need to get five head shots kill all the bikers
while you’re laying on the wing of the plane
fly under six bridges beat ron in the race home
and do the whole thing in under 12 minutes
and i’ll be honest with you this one took me a while to get there are
so many places where you can fall over and not get gold in this one so don’t be
discouraged if it takes you a while now as we’re on the timeline
let’s jump straight on in
so we joined trevor at his trailer and we’ll just skip the cutscene here he’ll
jump straight on to one of the handy quads
head down to the local ammunition again we can go utterly flat out here
because the uh the system will just stop us when we’re
close
into ammunition pick up some body armor
grab that lovely lovely sniper rifle and the advanced scope
pick up some ammo if you haven’t got any already
and load up with some other bits and pieces i’m a big fan of that grenade
launcher
jump on the quad and then do a little bit of cross country
just heading for that water tower over the way
jump off the bike up the stairs or the ladder i should say
up second one and then walk into the marker
all right this is our first time using a sniper rifle so this will be a bit of
fun
all right so just tracker on there
once he stops just trying to scope on him
and we’ll see him having a little seizure
all right swing over and then take out the first guard
and i like to pop the lights here as
well just retrain back onto ron and
wait for him to go to the next prompt
got the van coming up next we need to just hold off taking this guy out until
he’s finished on the phone
all right so pull up we’ll see him just jump on the phone there and as he hops
out of the truck we’re good to go
that’s him so the next guy’s up in the watchtower just give him a pop
and then i think he’s got a friend up here somewhere nope there he is
there is another guy up here just wait for him to come around there he is
he spotted his mate light him up and then click
next is the shed i think next to oh yep there’s ron he just wants to be
given attention again all right next is the shit next to the
tanks so i’ll take him out and then he’ll have
a friend and on that note ron will wander over
and start rigging the tank to blow now while ron’s here i
believe there is a biker coming up there he is wait for him to stop
and just clip him that’s it then the chopper take an extra moment to
line this one up if you can get the pile at first go it just makes it that much
easier so that leads us into a cut scheme
cutscene which we’ve skipped and then we come back on the the quad
so stop just a little bit further out from the the quad area
grab yourself the shoddy into trevor’s ability and then start taking
out anyone that moves
all right once you’ve grabbed these two round the truck
and into his ability again and just take out anyone i like to use the ability
here when it’s night time simply because it’s easier to see people
so grenade launcher wherever it’s practical and then
ranged weapon after that
don’t let the little buggers flank you either
grab him so keep an eye on that radar as well so another truck coming up
it’s one that always sneaks around the side here somewhere where is he
i think we got him
oh we didn’t get him there he is
all right that’s the last now if you’re low on ammo you can take a few extra
seconds just to go and collect ammunition from any of the bikers but
once you’re done run into the plane and you automatically jump on the wing
all right so we need to take out all of the bikers while we’re on the wing here
let’s start there there’s one on the
right and a couple coming in from the uh from
the forest there although yet the scrub grab that one on the bike if you can you
can let him get behind you it’s okay looks like he took himself out there
all right as soon as these guys pile out of the van jump into trevor’s ability
and then just start lighting them up
and there’s always one behind you and sometimes a couple off to the
left as well so we hit that cutscene jump off the
plane skip that cutscene again and then we’re back in the plane so you just
floor it pull the stick straight on up and the plane will take off as soon as
it can so once that’s up get the gear up and that’ll get your speed going as well
gain some altitude and then once we’ve got enough altitude we can spin this guy
off here we go do not do that too low
it will end poorly right so i like to take a different
approach to the valley here to get us through some of the bridges
so we do have six to get through and they can be a bit of a challenge so
pop yourself out to the lake line yourself up for the first bridge
drop altitude and then level off just before we hit that first one
do not be surprised if you clobber these a few times
i cannot tell you how many times i went through this and got taken out by a
bridge at the last minute which is incredibly frustrating once you
get it it is a sweet feeling so we’re staying low stay inside the
valley
plane is a little bit jittery because we don’t have full
marks on the uh on piloting it but it is still relatively easily controlled
all right snake underneath this one
you can go on the one on the right just as easily i think it’s probably a bit
more of a gap if you uh you need to use the
the space all right bank in now we want to stay low here so we don’t
get pinged by the military base
and line yourself up for that marker that little blue marker on the left
all right so you can see the flare
don’t forget to use your your alien to um
line everything up spot on
and then hit the button to uh to drop inside the blue zone there
so don’t gain too much altitude because we have another low bridge to go under
here
remember to keep that that accelerator on flat out all the time so that you uh
can outrun run to the uh to the the airfield
staying low and this one is a little bit tricky to
get through
all right bank out to the right here and then go over the hill
the next one doesn’t give you a lot of room to get through so we want to make
sure that we have absolutely everything lined up
all right bank in duck down and then sneak through there that’s the
hardest one and once you’ve got through that
the rest are relatively easy
cannot tell you how many times i crashed on that one all right
and then that’s the last one don’t try and do that very very last one that will
end poorly unless you are an exceptional
pilot all right so now it is a fairly straight
run to the airstrip so while we’re heading that way it might be an

and just gingerly put it into the ground
and then slowly into the hanger we’ll skip the
cutscene again and that’s gold
so thanks for watching to the end here are my top tips for saving precious
seconds wherever we can keep your scope on ron fully zoomed as
he makes his way up to the hangar this allows the game to
know that you’ve sighted him and will move things along quicker
take out the lights on the tower as early as practical this will save ron
having to wait for them and wait until your marker is well
inside the drop zone before dumping your cargo
