The Quarry Missions are a series of Asset Missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description[]

The Quarry missions involve a series of seven missions in which Carl Johnson works for the Hunter Quarry in Bone County. The missions can be triggered by walking onto the red marker at the eastern entrance of the quarry. Each mission involves Carl using Quarry machinery to complete jobs around the Quarry and beyond. Once a mission is successfully completed, the next one can be triggered by walking onto the red marker again (should the player fail a mission, it can be restarted at any time by going back to the red marker). Each mission completed rewards the player with money.

Once all seven missions have been completed, the Quarry will become an asset and generate up to $2,000 in revenue, and the Dozer and Dumper will always spawn in the Quarry. The player can replay the Quarry missions at any time, and during replays, the player can choose to abort the mission at any point.

Completing all Quarry Missions is required for 100% Completion.

Missions[]

Mission 1[]

QuarryMissions-GTASA-1
"Use the bulldozer to clear the paths before the next delivery arrives." 3:30 minutes Carl is given a Dozer and has 3 minutes and 30 seconds to push seven rocks off the way to their respective designated locations. The rocks can only be pushed using the Dozer's blade. $500

Mission 2[]

"Bombs have been planted by a rival organization. Use the bulldozer to push the bombs to safe area markers." 1:30 minutes Carl is given a Dozer and has 1 minute and 30 seconds to push four explosive barrels to safety in their designated locations. Unlike in the previous mission, Carl only needs to push one explosive barrel at a time, after which he has to quickly drive away from the barrel. After one barrel is cleared, another barrel appears. Carl also receives a time bonus for each cleared barrel. $1,000

Mission 3[]

"The bombers are escaping in a dumper. Use this dumper to destroy it before they reach their destination." 8:00 minutes Carl is given a Dumper and has 8 minutes to chase and kill the bombers escaping in another Dumper. To kill the bombers, Carl must destroy their Dumper. A faster way to do so is by using a drive-by on the bombers' Dumper. $2,000

Mission 4[]

"The bombers have been caught. Their bodies are loaded on a dumper at the quarry's other entrance. Dump them before the cops come snooping." 4:00 minutes Carl is given a Sanchez and has 4 minutes to reach the Dumper on the other entrance to the quarry, then dump the bombers' bodies from its loader. The truck must be driven carefully to avoid dislodging the bodies. Once Carl enters the quarry from the main entrance, the bodies must be dumped in the fire that has been set up in the marked area. If any of the bodies fall off the loader before Carl reaches the fire, the mission ends in failure. $3,000

Mission 5[]

"The dumper is loaded with explosives and needs to be driven gently. Deliver the explosives to the desert airstrip." 3:00 minutes Carl is given a Dumper and has 3 minutes to deliver the explosive barrels in its loader to the airstrip at Verdant Meadows. The truck must be driven carefully to avoid dropping any barrel while on the way. Once Carl arrives at the marked area at the end of the airstrip, the barrels must be dropped carefully to prevent explosion. If any of the barrels fall off the loader before Carl reaches the airstrip, the truck will blow up, killing him and resulting in mission failure. $5,000

Mission 6[]

"A dumper has spilled its load of explosives along the train tracks. Use the bulldozer to clear them before the next train passes." 3:00 minutes Carl is given a Dozer and has 3 minutes to push ten explosive barrels off the railroad. This mission is similar to the first mission in that all objects appear at once. However, there is no designated location for each barrel. Once all barrels are cleared, Carl must get off the railroad immediately as the train is approaching. $7,500

Mission 7[]

"A cop has been killed. Use the bulldozer in the quarry to get rid of the body before more cops come snooping." 8:00 minutes Carl is given a Sanchez and has 8 minutes to dispose of a dead cop and his motorbike in the quarry. To do so, Carl must reach the Dozer in the quarry, then use it to push the body and the bike wreck to the marked area so they can be picked up by the crane. Then, Carl must get into the crane and load the body and the bike onto the loader on the nearby Dumper. Once loaded, Carl must drive the Dumper carefully to the nearest water body (the river), after which the body and the bike must be dumped into the water. If the load falls onto land and doesn't slide into the water, or the Dumper falls into the water, the mission fails. $10,000

Bugs/Glitches[]

  • During the second mission, if the player lets the last barrel roll from a distance where the dozer cannot be affected by the blast, the game will crash. (Unconfirmed on versions different from PC and Mobile)
  • During the fifth mission, when the player completes the mission, there is a chance that they might receive a huge insane stunt jump bonus, likely a lot larger than their current (legitimate) record in their stats menu. This can be subverted by raising the truck's bed upward to allow the barrels to re-shift position prior to driving away from the quarry. This must be done extremely carefully such that the barrels do not slide off. The barrels must settle in place. This may take several attempts on the drive between the quarry and the airstrip in order to remove the glitch.
  • During the seventh mission, if the player is driving too fast and reaches the river too early, the message warning the player not to dump the Dumper in the river may not appear whilst the Dumper is on land. However, if the Dumper falls into the river, the mission will fail.
  • In The Definitive Edition, the $2,000 of revenue will be reset at some point during the day for no reason.

Trivia[]

  • None of these missions can be started if the player has a wanted level.[1]
  • During the sixth mission, once the railway line has been cleared, the train will pass extremely quickly, at a much higher speed than in regular gameplay.[2]
  • The bodies encountered in the fourth and seventh missions appear to be of Los Santos Police officers.[3]
  • If the player fails the fourth or seventh mission by running out of time, the red text will say that the cops have arrived. However, the player won't receive any wanted level.
  • The PlayStation 3 mobile port version has a very hindering aspect compared to other versions: the time on several missions is reduced by several minutes, making the last mission nearly impossible, as controlling the crane is very hard and takes up the very limited and precious time allotted to the player.
