As you progress through the game, you'll come to rely on the weapons shops and the vendor who runs them to grow your private arsenal. When the vendor runs into difficulties with his competition, he may propose that you intercept a rival weapons convoy to secure his supply and unlock new merchandise.
| You can pick up these missions from the vendors at the Weapons Shop. Any vendor will give out a mission, although they all give out the same ones - ie. it doesn't matter which specific vendor you pick up a mission from as it'll be the same for everyone else. Once you complete a mission, you "move on" to the next one, which again can be picked up from any Weapons Shop. You can only pick up a mission when you have no other active mission - if you visit a Weapons Shop in this case, there simply is no vendor present. While you're in the beginning district, Leboa-Sako, you can only pick up the first four convoy missions. Once you complete them all you will have to wait until you reach Bowa Seko before the remaining missions become available.
The missions all require you to destroy a Big Truck that's driving around somewhere in Leboa-Sako or Bowa Seko. It's usually being escorted by two assault trucks, but to complete a mission all you need to do is destroy the main target. If you manage to kill the driver, the truck will become an easy target for grenades.
| Note | I only recently realized that the Convoy missions are in fact random, so the list below is somewhat useless as it is right now seeing as there is no fixed order of the missions. If I get some time I might try to compile a complete list of all the missions. |

Welcome, friend! Just the sort of businessman I need! I know a man bringing a shipment of arms over the border north of here. He's the competition. Take out that shipment, and I'll have a little something special for you next time you're buying. | | This weapons vendor says one of his competitors is bringing in an arms shipment across the border to the North. Wants me to take out that shipment. If I do, the vendor will bring in some special gear for my next visit. |
| | This mission requires you to destroy the large truck in the convoy, which can be found driving around the northern region of Leboa-Sako. The convoy itself consists of two Assault Trucks and a Big Truck. Once you destroy the Big Truck, you'll complete the mission and the new weapons should be available the next time you stop by the PC at a Weapons Shop. |
|
You look like you know your way around an ambush. Could be I've got a deal for you. My competition's bringing in a shipment of shitty AKs and the usual low-end trash. From the northwest. You make sure that convoy never comes in. I'll make sure you've got some fancy new toys to choose from next time you're here. | | The weapons vendor says competition is bringing in shit AKs from the Northwest. I need to stop it. If I do that, the vendor guarantees I'll have some new toys for my next visit. |
| | This convoy is driving around the area between the North Railyard and PetroSahel in the north-western region of Leboa-Sako. Once again, it consists of two Assault Trucks and a Big Truck. If you go to the road furthest to the west you can wait for the convoy to head north - once it does, it should be easy to line up a number of sniper shots to eliminate the truck driver and his backup, and then take out the truck with a grenade. |
|
My friend! What are your thoughts on a little business arrangement? There's a man bringing in a load of low-grade arms from the east. Trying to undercut me. You understand. Take out that shipment and I'll bring in something special for you next time you buy. | | The weapons vendor says a competitor's bringing in low-grade arms from the East. If I take out the shipment, the vendor will bring in some special gear for my next visit. |
|
My friend! How about some side work today? Here's my problem. This Ukrainian's trying to move in on my business. He's got a shipment coming in. Bad product, none of it clean. You take out that convoy, and I'll bring in some special inventory for you. | | The weapons vendor says a competitor's trying to squeeze his business. He's bringing in bad product from the Southwest. If I take out the convoy, the vendor will bring in some special gear for my next visit. |
|
I think you are a man who understands certain business arrangements. There's a convoy of arms coming in from the north. You don't need to worry about who or why, ya? You just worry about smashing it. Do this and I will have some shiny new toys for sale next time I see you. | | There's a convoy of arms coming in from the North. If I smash it, the vendor will have new weapons available to me next time. |
| | This mission will be available once you've reached Bowa Seko and completed the fourth mission for the UFLL. When I first did this mission, the convoy was located at Outpost in the northern region; they weren't driving around, which perhaps was just a coincidence or a bug, so it was easy to complete the mission by emplyoing a rocket launcher. |
|
He is back! And just in time for a business proposition. A man like you needs new product to choose from. My supplier is being distracted by a competitor. You hit his convoy and I promise you'll have the best equipment to choose from here. | | The weapons vendor says his supplier is being bothered by a competitor. Says if I hit the competitor's convoy, he'll guarantee me the best gear to choose from. |
| | The convoy is located in the eastern region. Last time I played it, I found the truck stuck on some rocks - made it an easy target for a rocket. |
|
Look who has returned! And just in time to talk business. Here is our situation. You want newer weaponry. I want newer weaponry. There's a convoy of arms coming from the southwest soon. If it is taken out, there would be new product freed up for my establishment. You understand? | | The weapons vendor says a convoy of arms is coming from the Southwest. If I take it out, he'll free up some new product for me on my next visit. |
| | The convoy is driving around the north-eastern part of of the south-western region, on the roads in and around TaeMoCo Mine. If you bring an Assault Truck with either a heavy MG or a grenade launcher you can make mince-meat of the convoy without breaking a sweat. |
|
Welcome, friend! I have a proposition today. Something good for both of us. These bastards from Moldova. They think they can walk into another man's home and steal his business. There's a convoy of arms coming in from the west soon. You smash it, ya? In return I'll make some new ordinance available to you. | | The weapons vendor has a problem from Moldova. There's a competitor's convoy of arms coming in from the West. Wants me to strike it. Vendor says he can guarantee new weapons on my next visit. |
