Crop Dustin' is a Fooligan Job featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update.
Description[]
After requesting work from Dax, the GTA Online Protagonist will soon receive a call back from him in which he complains about legal weed, especially its high price and weak effects. He asks the player to grab some herbicide and a crop duster in order to destroy the crops.
Once the phone call ends, the player heads to a marked location to collect some herbicide left in the back of a Sadler.
from the trunk of the Sadler.Once collected, they head down to a nearby location where some Dusters are parked, guarded by a large group of Rednecks. Upon boarding a Duster, they are tasked with spraying herbicide over three sets of crops, each in a different location.
can be contaminated by using the Duster to spray the crops with the hazardous chemicals from above.The chemicals can be deployed via the appropriate button, which will spray the chemicals from the bottom of the Duster. There is an unlimited amount of chemicals available, so the player is free to use them liberally.
Each weed farm contains a sizable ground force that will shoot at the player's Duster as it approaches, with some locations being guarded by a Technical Custom with a gunner on the back. The player must deploy enough chemicals over the farm to deplete its "Crop Health" bar, which may require several flyovers to achieve. The player must also not be at too high an altitude when spraying the chemicals, or they will not take effect. While the actual weed plants are marked with a red arrow, it is not necessary for the player to aim for them; instead, any chemicals sprayed while within the red square as shown on the map will count. Experienced pilots can thus plan a flight trajectory and even intentionally slow their speed to maximize chemical coverage and reduce the number of flyovers required.
Upon successfully contaminating the first weed farm, enemy reinforcements will begin to pursue the player in 3 waves of 1 Maverick containing a pilot and 2 gunners. With the Duster's lack of maneuverability and self-defense capabilities, combined with the enemy gunners being accurate enough to hit the player even while in flight, there is a significant risk of the Duster being shot down and destroyed. Fortunately, a new Duster will spawn immediately to replace the destroyed one, and the player is free to board a new plane and continue their task. Similarly, players should avoid flying the plane at higher altitudes, as it will also damage the engine.
Once all weed farms have been successfully contaminated, Dax calls the player with a final task to destroy a Tanker. Upon successfully destroying the Tanker, the player receives a 2-star wanted level and is instructed to leave the area. The mission is completed once the player leaves the area, even if the wanted level has not been lost.
