These include jumping out of a chopper and onto the deck of an aircraft carrier under cover of darkness, calling in a bombing run, and using an EMP blast to knock out a government installation. LSA Operations can also be launched by calling Charlie directly from your iFruit after your Operations Terminal has been installed.”
LSA Operations are a series of missions featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of San Andreas Mercenaries update. They are Free Mode jobs that can be conducted in any session type by CEOs, VIPs and MC Club presidents.
Description[]
The missions are given by Charlie Reed and can be selected from the Operations Terminal, which can be installed inside a player-owned Avenger after purchasing it from Warstock Cache & Carry. The player can also call Charlie from their phone in any session type to get a randomly assigned LSA Operation or return to the terminal to choose one themself.
These missions revolve around the player assisting the Los Santos Angels mercenary air squadron on contract jobs related to disrupting Merryweather Security operations across San Andreas.
The three operations have a random different level of difficulty and the payments are scaled accordingly.
- Professional = $45,000 to $50,000
- Specialist = $60,000 to $70,000
Charlie will give an extra task during these missions, which gives the player and associates an additional Operation Bonus reward of $15,000 each.
Each LSA Operation have a 20 minute wait period between successfully completing one and being able to replaying it.
Completing each operation mission with the bonus objective will give the player a small trinket in their Hangar, in the room next to where Charlie Reed usually stays, with each operation having three.
The missions are only available from the Operations Terminal, which can be installed inside a player-owned Avenger after purchasing it from Warstock Cache & Carry.
