BDKD is the fifth and final Last Dose mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update.
Description[]
Dax has captured a member of Isiah Friedlander's Goons and is extracting information from him.
Luchadora tells the GTA Online Protagonist to meet her in the Los Santos Storm Drain outside The Freakshop where she climbs into the back of a Velum 5-Seater she had just stolen.
As they get airborne, she directs the player to fly to LSIA where they believe Isiah Friedlander is making his getaway to South America with his stockpile of 80% of the world's supply of precursor chemicals and his wonder drug based on Labrat's formulas.
As they arrive, the Cargo Plane takes off to the west before banking north towards Pacific Bluffs. The cargo plane is initially faster than the Velum 5-seater, but as it gets to cruise altitude, it slows considerably, to almost slower than the Velum's stalling airspeed. It flies north until Banham Canyon and banks east-north-east over Marlowe Vineyards, and Route 68 through Harmony before turning southeast over RON Alternates Wind Farm and doing a tight loop around the south of the Wind Farm before speeding back up and heading past the Palmer-Taylor Power Station and along the east coast, heading south-south-east (presumably towards South America).
The player chases the Cargo Plane and Luchadora explains the RubberNeck signal device on the Velum's dash will hack the rear cargo door of the Cargo Plane if they get within its range. If the player has not opened the rear door by the time the plane gets southeast of the power station, the mission will fail.
The player flies close to the Cargo Plane and activates the signal box, staying within range long enough to hack open the rear cargo door, before crashing the Velum 5-seater into the cargo bay, tearing off the wings. The Velum's occupants are unharmed and quickly get out moments before the wreckage of the stolen plane can slide down the open ramp and out of the cargo bay. The player hits the door control button at the side of the bay to close the cargo door.
They then fight their way through Isiah Friedlander's Goons to the ladder to the cockpit.
The first player to reach the ladder corona is designated as the pilot, and they discover that the Friedlander goon pilot has vanished. Luchadora asks if they can fly the plane, and as they are about to take the controls, they hear Friedlander as he emerges from a packing crate down in the cargo bay. He repeats his "Time is up" catchphrase from Last Dose 3 - Friedmind and jumps from the plane wearing a parachute. Luchadora is disappointed but quickly switches her focus to the cargo of precursor chemicals that is ultimately more important and asks again if the Protagonist can fly, at which they quickly get into the captain's seat.
The cargo plane at this point will be off the west coast of Chumash, regardless of where the player managed to complete the hack. The player takes the controls and flies the Cargo Plane to Sandy Shores Airfield and only has to reach the start of the runway with the landing gear down. The landing will be controlled by a cutscene, where Dax is seen arriving right after in a black Mule Custom. They all celebrate outside the cargo bay and start unloading the loot from the plane into the truck. After having gotten several boxes into the Mule, police sirens can then be heard and Dax continues to load the truck as Luchadora, the player and other Fooliganz defend him and the truck from law enforcement including Police Mavericks and National Office of Security Enforcement units in Police Riots. The wanted level will peak at 3 stars, regardless of how many police are killed or helicopters are destroyed. The health of the truck and cargo loading progress are shown on the HUD in the lower right corner.
Once the truck is loaded, Dax and the player get in and head to The Freakshop, while Luchadora gets in the Fooliganz Glendale Custom (equipped with off-road wheels and tires) to lead some of the cops away. She travels north from the Airfield, turns east on East Joshua Road and then north onto Route 1 all the way to Paleto Bay. Other players can stay behind at the airfield with the plane battling the police or they can accompany the truck in other vehicles to help protect it from the cops. Paleto Bay is Out of Area during the mission from Procopio Truck Stop all the way to Paleto Cove.
The player must get the truck to The Freaskshop before the cops destroy it. Along the Freeway, police units in Police Transporters will have officers in the back shooting out of the opened doors. More cops in Mavericks will also be shooting at the truck.
The Wanted Level cannot be evaded until the player in the Mule Custom gets close to East Vinewood. The police will enter search mode and the wanted levels can be lost, although only the player in the Mule Custom will have to lose it before they can deliver the truck to The Freakshop.

Trivia[]
- This mission clearly takes inspiration from the mission Minor Turbulence in Grand Theft Auto V, in which Trevor Philips attempts to steal a Cargo Plane the same way the protagonist does in this mission.
- The biggest difference between the two missions is that in this mission, the protagonist succeeds at stealing the plane, while in Minor Turbulence, Trevor fails to steal the plane, as it is shot down.
