Overview
Minisub is a setup mission for The Merryweather Heist in Grand Theft Auto V. Trevor steals a yellow submersible hanging off a freighter at the Port of Los Santos. The submersible is needed in both versions of the heist, so this setup is unavoidable.
Walkthrough
- Drive to the freighter at the port.
- Either sneak aboard, deal with the single guard and release the sub using the control panel, or shoot the cables from the dock with a sniper rifle.
- Pilot the sub through the port to the marked spot.
- Floyd lifts it onto a flatbed with a crane; drive it to a port warehouse.
Tips
- Gold medal objectives: finish within 8:30 and steal the submersible without boarding the boat.
- Shooting the cables from the dock is quicker and fulfills the no-boarding objective.
- If you board the ship, there is only one guard; avoid him or take him out quietly.
Rewards and unlocks
The mission is required for both approaches of The Merryweather Heist.
