OPERATIONS GUIDE V2 • SOLO

Locate the Merryweather base, prepare defensive hardware, steal four drives and protect Avi during the upload.

Start here

Exact requirements

Buy an Auto Shop through Maze Bank Foreclosures and complete its setup mission.

Purchase / contact / menu

Use the upstairs Job Board and select “The Data Contract — complete flow” when the contract is available.

Starting location

The upper floor of your Auto Shop.

Board or marker

Sessanta and KDJ's Job Board: two Planning Works and the Final Job.

Purchases not required

A second lift, staff, personal quarters and cosmetic Auto Shop upgrades are not required for contracts.

First run and replay

These are two persistent story instructions. They are not the finance calculator's weekly-variant switch.

First story playthrough

On the first “The Data Contract — complete flow” selection, complete both Planning Works shown on the Job Board before launching the Final Job.

Story replay

After completion, wait for the contract to return to the rotating Job Board; every new attempt requires its two Planning Works.

Official mission order

01
prep / preparation
Planning Work: Safehouse Location
Locate Avi's bunker through the Merryweather contact.
02
prep / preparation
Planning Work: Defenses
Recover the defensive hardware before the timer expires.
03
finale
The Robbery
Collect four drives from the bunker, start Avi's upload and defend him from the waves.

Strategies that genuinely change the route

preparation time limit

Full Avi defence package

When: When the crew can collect the Insurgent, AA Trailer and Wastelander within the preparation timer.
Plan: First divide the three hardware targets, disconnect four drives in pairs and position the vehicles at Elysian Island to cover the terminal from different directions.
Trade-off: More hardware strengthens the upload defence, but one distant item is not worth losing the whole preparation.

Plan for the selected team: SOLO

Selected in the calculator • SOLO for “The Data Contract — complete flow”: SOLO operator: Hardware coordinator + Drive operator + Bunker cover + Upload defender.

Concrete roles

SOLO operator: Hardware coordinator + Drive operator + Bunker cover + Upload defender

Divides the three vehicles under the timer and calls the return to delivery. Disconnects all four drives in the mainframe rooms. Protects the operator during interactions and leads the shared bunker retreat. Mans acquired hardware and prioritizes helicopters and heavy vehicles around Avi.

Actions, risk and run recovery

01
prep / preparationSafehouse Location
Action
Take or follow the Merryweather vehicle, acquire its transponder and identify the CEO's bunker without losing the required equipment.
Tip
In Safehouse Location photograph the correct site and wait for Avi's confirmation.
Risk / failure condition
A wrong frame does not reveal the finale defense site.
How to recover the run
Reposition, frame the full marked site and retake the photo.
02
prep / preparationDefenses — time limit
Action
Within ten minutes, collect the equipment available on the map; anything missed will not be available during Avi's defence.
Tip
In Defenses plan the route against the timer before starting collection.
Risk / failure condition
An improvised route can leave hardware uncollected when time expires.
How to recover the run
Move to the nearest active marker and finish the remaining points in the shortest loop.
03
prep / preparationDefenses — hardware
Action
Secure as many of the three options as possible: the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom, Anti-Aircraft Trailer and weapon-carrying Wastelander.
Tip
Deliver every defense device and confirm the set on the Job Board.
Risk / failure condition
Missing hardware leaves one approach to Avi unsupported.
How to recover the run
Return for the final crate, protect the transport and place the device before the finale.
04
finaleBunker entry
Action
In the finale, drive to Don Percival's bunker and use the acquired transponder to open the secured entrance.
Tip
Enter the bunker through one point and keep the driver ready on the exit route.
Risk / failure condition
Split entries trap collectors between patrols.
How to recover the run
Return to the shared door, clear the corridor and move the drive operator in the middle.
05
finaleFour hard drives
Action
Search the mainframe rooms, disconnect all four marked drives and cover the player performing each interaction.
Tip
Assign all four hard drives to specific markers and confirm the set before retreating.
Risk / failure condition
A missed drive blocks the upload despite escaping the bunker.
How to recover the run
Do not leave the area; return to the final room and collect the missing drive.
06
finaleLeaving the bunker
Action
Return to the vehicle along the same route while fighting Merryweather, keeping the team together in the narrow corridors.
Tip
Leave the bunker by the cleared route and protect the player carrying the final drive.
Risk / failure condition
Taking a new corridor triggers more resistance and can isolate the drive.
How to recover the run
Return to the known route, regroup and escort the objective between cover players.
07
finaleReaching Avi
Action
Drive to Elysian Island despite pursuing Mesas and Buzzards; Avi must survive, so avoid a prolonged roadside fight.
Tip
At Avi's site park vehicles clear of defense positions and the terminal.
Risk / failure condition
Blocked access delays the upload before the first Merryweather wave.
How to recover the run
Move the vehicle out of the yard, assign sectors and only then start the interaction.
08
finaleStarting the upload
Action
Insert all four drives into the terminal in the portable office to begin the data upload.
Tip
One operator starts the upload and does not leave the station for one enemy.
Risk / failure condition
Leaving the terminal stalls progress while more waves continue arriving.
How to recover the run
Defenders close the nearest entrance and the operator immediately resumes the same upload.
09
finaleDefend Avi
Action
Use the acquired hardware against successive waves of infantry, Mesas, helicopters, Half-tracks and Weaponized Tampas until the upload finishes.
Tip
Defenders hold assigned sectors until Avi's upload fully completes.
Risk / failure condition
Chasing beyond position opens the other flank and exposes Avi.
How to recover the run
Return to the defense point, clear the nearest wave and rebuild the ring around the station.

Common mistakes

Unplanned hardware collection

Consequence: Two players chasing one target leave another vehicle unavailable for the finale.
Correction: Abort the duplicate run, redirect the closer player to the free target and deliver acquired hardware before a risky final trip.

Uncovered hard drive

Consequence: An interrupted interaction in the tight bunker splits the crew and stalls the set of four drives.
Correction: Leave the terminal, clear the nearest doorway, heal the operator and return to the same drive before changing rooms.

Defence hardware without sectors

Consequence: Stacking all hardware in one spot opens the rear of the portable office and exposes Avi.
Correction: Move the healthiest vehicle to the open road, keep one defender at the terminal and rebuild sectors.

Pre-launch checklist

The three hardware targets have separate drivers before the timer begins.
The four drives and three upload-defence sectors have assigned operators.
Assign the Insurgent, AA Trailer and Wastelander to named drivers before the timer.
The operator disconnects a drive only after cover controls both mainframe entrances.
Place vehicles so the AA Trailer sees helicopters while the Insurgent and Wastelander close ground roads.

Expanded informational overview

Team choice affects pace, host payout and each partner's payout.

Replay or rotation

There is no single confirmed minute value; availability depends on a board, phone call or contract rotation.

What affects the result

Complete strand

Payout and time cover the complete cycle, not only its final job.

Host and partner model

The host and every participant have separately defined payouts; the team average does not replace those values.

Costs

Setup fees and commissions are deducted before the net result.

Time

Fast/typical/beginner: 30 min / 45 min / 1 hr 10 min.

Main strengths
