Off Route is a mission in The Lost and Damned given by Thomas Stubbs III to Johnny Klebitz.

Description

For this mission, you once again visit the crooked politician Thomas Stubbs III. He's at the same location, with the same arrogant butler, but this time, Stubbs is in a steam room. Johnny eventually enters and listens to Stubbs' plan - to "liberate" some white-collar criminals (charged with insider trading) from a prison transport bus, while Johnny tries desperately not to pass out from heat exhaustion, as he is fully dressed in a steam room. He finally gets out of the room and the mission is underway.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Get to the prison transport bus location
  • Take control of the prison transport bus
  • Lose the cops
  • Get the bus to the drop

Walkthrough

Drive to the location on Rand Avenue and a short cutscene takes place, showing you the layout of the area. Once in control, burst into the area and eliminate all the cops within the area, and steal the Prison Bus, loaded with the white-collar criminals and a cannibalistic serial killer, who eats one of the guards as Johnny gains control. If you wait too long and the bus leaves the station before you board it, you will be unable to get on it and will have to restart the mission. From here, you have to evade a three-star wanted level. Note that as the Prison Bus is a government vehicle, it cannot be driven into a Pay'n'Spray. After evading the police, drive over to the south end of Alderney to a dock, and let the prisoners off. The prisoners escape in a few Dinghys, while one of the crew waiting for you dumps the prison bus into the water. After the successful completion of the mission, Johnny expresses a joking fear for the people on the boat with the serial killer on a phone conversation with Stubbs.
