Turncoat | Walkthrough Just Cause 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before the mission, you should stock up on ammunition, especially to your preferred special weapon (a grenade or a rocket launcher) - you will be dealing with a lot of enemy vehicles during this mission.
Get to Mario, marked on the map as the Turncoat, to initiate a cutscene and begin the mission. Your main objective is to steal a military armored vehicle. You can find at least a few of them in the area - those are guarded by small groups of enemies, dealing with you should have no problems. After you've hijacked the vehicle, get back to Mario, wait for him to enter the car and then head towards the marker that should appear on the screen.
Upon arrival, you will have to deal with a small group of enemy soldiers - you can either run them down, or leave the vehicle and use your weapons. After a short cutscene the main part of the mission will begin - you will have to make sure that Mario (travelling inside the armored vehicle) and Zeno (piloting the helicopter) both make to the destination point alive.
The task is seemingly quite difficult - you have to protect two allies, located in different places, using different vehicles. However, you can completely ignore Zeno and focus all your attention on keeping Mario safe - he will be harassed by the enemy the most. Jump on the roof of his vehicle with the help of your rope and take out all the enemies closing in on you. They will mostly come from behind, but you can expect some enemies up in the front as well.
You can use a rocket launcher or a grenade launcher to eliminate the approaching enemies, as a single hit from those weapons will almost always take out the enemy vehicle. You can use your main weapon as well, but the screen will shake so hard that taking aim will become almost impossible. The perfect tool for the job is the rope, or to be more specific, dual tethers - all you have to do is to attach one end of the rope to the enemy vehicle, the other one to the ground, and wait for the enemy to disappear, probably in an explosion. You should be patient while doing so and wait for the enemy to gain some speed - the faster the vehicle moves, the biggest impact the rope will have on it. Finally, you can simply shoot or pull the driver out of the vehicle to immobilize it.
During the mission you will be given two additional objectives - to neutralize the enemy SAM installation. You can either destroy them or hack them - the latter method requires you to get to the SAM and stand still for a few seconds, but you will be able to save some ammo. Additionally, remember that when you get close to the SAM, your allies will stop moving and wait for you to take care of the obstacle - don't pay attention to the enemies, as killing them has no point, as more and more of them will come at you. Focus on taking out the SAM installation.
After a few minutes of intense action, you will arrive at the destination point. Your final objective is to get rid of all the enemies and wait for the heat to "go away". You can make the whole process a lot easier by hijacking a helicopter, which almost certainly chased you here. Climb it up with the help of your rope and "swap places" with the pilot - use the miniguns to quickly get rid of all the enemies. When you're done, wait for a few seconds for the cutscene to start and the mission will be over.
