Longfin is a prep mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Cayo Perico Heist update, and a freeroam mission that can be completed at any time while The Cayo Perico Heist strand is active. It is one of six missions within the Approach Vehicle category that is mandatory for completion, but becomes optional if another of the missions has been completed.
Description[]
Steal one of El Rubio's smuggler boats to use as an approach vehicle when infiltrating the island.
Approach your chosen dock in the Longfin while disguised as one of El Rubio's smugglers. While unarmed, some guards will let you travel around select areas of the docks but will attack if they spot you elsewhere.
Pavel tells the player that there are many of El Rubio's smuggler boats travelling from and to the island carrying unmarked cargo, and which are easy to obtain. The LSPD has captured one of the crews, providing an opportunity for the player to steal the boat for their use before it is transported somewhere more secure.
Completing this setup allows the player(s) to approach Cayo Perico in finale using a Longfin.
The player is instructed to go to the location of the trailer with a Longfin speedboat, which is guarded by the LSPD and the NOOSE TRU.
identified by Pavel can be used to connect to the Longfin trailer and deliver it.Pavel also indicates the location of truck cabs that can be optionally used for the mission. There are four options:
- The first option are two Phantoms, which are guarded by a Security Guard. Stealing one of the trucks will cause the security guard to shoot at the player and the nearby workers attempting to fight them with fists or trying to get the player out of the vehicle.
- The second option is a Phantom Wedge, which is guarded by The Professionals, with one of the enemies using the machine gun turret of a Technical Custom.
- They can steal a truck cab found in traffic. These can be mostly found on highways around Blaine County and Terminal.
- Additionally, if owned, they can use their own truck cabs as well, where Pavel will comment on them being more prepared than he is.
- Currently the only eligible truck cabs that can be purchased and called during the mission are the Phantom Wedge and the Barracks Semi.
using a truck cab and deliver it to the drop-off.Once the player has secured a truck cab, they must drive it back to the location of the trailer and opt for either fighting off the officers on the site or directly hitching it to the trailer, then evading the 3-star wanted level (though without any Police Maverick being dispatched). After losing the Cops, they must deliver the Longfin trailer to a warehouse at Elysian Island to complete the mission.

Oversights[]
- If the player arrives at the drop-off point with their own MOC cab (Phantom Custom or Hauler Custom), the game will instruct the player to leave the vehicle, only to immediately tell the player to reenter the vehicle when they leave, making the mission unable to be completed.
- If the flatbed makes contact with any body of water, no matter how shallow, the trailer and the Longfin itself will be marked as "destroyed" and the mission will fail. A notable example would be driving down the Los Santos Storm Drain.
- After delivering the Longfin with the Phantom Wedge, the same truck, now burning, will be parked in the same position it was in at the delivery marker. This may have been a developer oversight.
