Nightclubs/Set Up: Equipment

"Like I said, we need to borrow some equipment from this festival, Ritual Sacrifice. I don't know if these guys are dorks, DJs or doomsday preppers... probably all of the above... but they've got a killer speaker system and it's on wheels. The crew is having a bit of a festival wind down party, so get over there and get the system... and maybe try not to kill anyone, I've got enough angst as it is."

- Tony Prince to the player.

Set Up: Equipment is a Nightclubs setup mission conducted in Free Mode in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description
After purchasing a Nightclub and viewing the introductory cutscene with Tony Prince and Lazlow Jones, the player must conduct Setup work to start up their business. There are three setup jobs to be conducted, Equipment, Staff and DJ. The first two must be completed (in any order) before the third becomes available.

Equipment
The player needs to collect equipment to be used at the nightclub. The needed equipment is attached to a Festival Bus being used at a Ritual Sacrifice wind-down party in the Grand Senora Desert and the player will need to steal the bus and deliver it to the nightclub warehouse entrance. Tony requests that the player do it without killing anyone although there is no penalty for doing so.

Locations
The Ritual Sacrifice festival can be at any of the following sites in the Grand Senora Desert.

Collection
Upon arrival at the festival, multiple NPCs will be seen dancing in front of the bus where their tents are pitched and Vapid Riatas and Sadlers are parked. Three NPCs including a DJ will usually be on top of the bus. Soulwax FM will be playing.

The player can freely walk among the attendees of the festival without raising any alarm and enter the bus, at which point the attendees will scatter. Three unarmed festival-goers will turn aggressive and attempt to get the bus back but it can simply be driven away. There are no NPC chasers encountered on the way back to the club.

The Festival Bus features an array of lighting, speakers and other forms of festival entertainment, the taller structures on the bus can hit traffic lights without damage but will be smashed off the bus if the player attempts to drive under freeway signage gantries or over-bridges or tunnels. If the player happens to damage or completely detach some of the equipment, Tony will text the player informing them that only the speakers mounted on the left side of the bus are needed. If the bus is completely destroyed, the mission will fail. Once the bus is collected, an unseen thirty minute timer starts with an onscreen prompt that will only appear when there are five minutes remaining to deliver the bus to the nightclub.

Associates of the player's Organizations or members of their Motorcycle Clubs can not drive the bus but can ride inside or on top as passengers to help deliver it safely to the club. Rival players are tasked with destroying the bus which will reward them with money and increase their own nightclub popularity if they own a fully-setup one.
