Duggan Shipments is an optional prep mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the The Diamond Casino Heist update. It is a freeroam mission needed to progress The Diamond Casino Heist. Completing this setup reduces the firepower and armor that guards have inside the Casino during the heist.
Description[]
Lester informs the player that there are multiple shipments of supplies and weapons being delivered to the city by Thornton Duggan for his guards at the Casino, and it is the player's job to take them out. There are 10 targets scattered throughout San Andreas. There are ground shipments inside Stockades, sea shipments inside Squalos, and air shipments inside SuperVolitos with a protective helicopter alongside; any non-target helicopters do not have to be destroyed; however, they will follow the player for the duration of the mission, even if their gunners are shot down.
The player has 10 minutes to destroy as many shipments as possible. They do not have to destroy all 10 shipments to make an impact on the heist, but there are levels of weakness reached after a certain number are destroyed. The guards' weakness increase on the third, sixth, and tenth destroyed shipment.
Effects[]
- Less than 3 shipments destroyed: The guards will be fully armored with bulletproof helmets and superheavy armor that prevents them from being knocked down by the players' gunshots, and will be armed with powerful weapons, such as Assault Shotguns and Special Carbine Mk IIs.
- At least 3 shipments destroyed: The guards will not have bulletproof helmets, but will wear heavy armor and be armed with decent weapons, such as the Assault SMG.
- At least 6 shipments destroyed: The guards will not have bulletproof helmets, but will wear light armor and be armed with mediocre weapons, such as Sweeper Shotguns and Compact Rifles.
- All 10 shipments destroyed: The guards will not have any armor and will be armed with weak weapons, such as the Pistol and Micro SMG.
