Mission 29, Cargobob, only appears when The Merryweather Heist is set up with the Offshore route. It is less about wiping out every soldier at Fort Zancudo and more about getting one useful aircraft out in one piece. For players browsing GTA 5 Accounts, it is a good reminder of how much Trevor's missions lean on nerve and timing. The helicopter has a clear job waiting for it: carrying the submersible out to sea for the larger operation. That makes the pickup feel important, even if the mission itself moves fast.
Getting Through the Gate
Fort Zancudo doesn't give Trevor much room to ease into things. Once he commits, he needs to keep moving. A blue SUV near the checkpoint becomes the quickest way across the compound, and stopping for too long usually turns the run into a mess. The trick is simple: drive with purpose, keep the vehicle pointed toward the runway area, and don't get pulled into a long fight with soldiers who keep closing in.
Take the SUV and head straight for the airfield.
Push through fences instead of hunting for a neat route.
Leave the vehicle as close to the helicopter as possible.
The Helicopter Pickup
The Cargobob sits on a helipad with MARINES 435 painted along its side. It is a big target, and Trevor is exposed the moment he steps out of the SUV. Get into the cockpit, lift off, and build speed. There is no real prize for hanging around the runway. An armed pursuit helicopter soon comes after him, so the first few seconds in the air matter more than a polished takeoff.
| Phase | What matters | Common mistake | | Base entry | Forward movement | Stopping to trade shots | | Takeoff | Quick lift and speed | Hovering above the pad | | Escape | Low, direct flying | Turning back toward the fort |
Leaving Zancudo Behind
You'll usually lose the pursuer by flying hard away from the base and using the shape of the land rather than trying to circle it. Keep the Cargobob moving forward. The route then opens up across San Andreas, from Los Santos and Vinewood Hills toward the dry Grand Senora Desert. During the flight, Trevor calls Wade to confirm that the aircraft is secured for the job ahead. It's a small bit of dialogue, but it makes the mission feel like one piece of a bigger plan.
A Careful Touchdown
The last stretch takes Trevor to Sandy Shores Airfield, where the helicopter has to be placed inside his hangar area. The Cargobob feels heavy, so rushing the descent can clip nearby equipment or leave it sitting awkwardly outside the marker. Ease it down, level the craft, and let the mission register the delivery. Once it is stored, the crew has the lift they need for the offshore work, and GTA 5 Accounts for sale can appeal to players who want to revisit this tense setup with a different save.
