Revision as of 19:33, 6 May 2017
Off Route is a mission in The Lost and Damned given by Thomas Stubbs III to Johnny Klebitz.
Description
Johnny meets Stubbs at his gentleman's club. In the steam room, Stubbs explains that some white-collar criminals have been charged with insider trading and are being transported in a Prison Bus. Stubbs needs Johnny to "liberate" these prisoners. Johnny, after almost passing out in the steam room, leaves and heads to the police station. Once at the police station, Johnny fights his way in and hijacks the prison bus. Ater losing the police, Johnny drives the bus to the docks in southern Alderney and releases the prisoners. The prisoners board Dinghys and head to the open sea, whilst the Prison Bus is dumped into the sea. Johnny phones Stubbs to inform him that the prisoners have been "liberated", and expresses a sarcastic fear for the prisoners due to one of them being a cannibal. Stubbs thanks Johnny and the mission is completed.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the prison transport bus location
- Take control of the prison transport bus
- Lose the cops
- Get the bus to the drop
Walkthrough
Entering the police station to get to the prison bus can be tricky without going through a shootout, police chase and a 3-star wanted level.
There are two ways to get to the prison bus,
1) Run & Gun
Directly breaking through/jumping over the barrier at the security booth will immediately trigger the alarm and a 3-star wanted level with all the police officers becoming hostile.
The player can attempt to enter the police station with a police vehicle, but he can only go as far as through the security booth; As the very next officer standing guard on the ramp will immediately see through the player's plot and sound the alarm (thus triggering the same outcome as before).
The player must then fight through multiple police officers and FIB agents armed with Pistols and Submachine Guns. Run over them or engage in a shootout if you must, but the main aim is to quickly enter the bus. From here just drive as fast as you can and get out of the Police Search Radius. Avoid the roadblocks and get to the drop.
2) Hijacking
The player can get the bus to leave the police station and leave for the prison by using the side entrances. There are two side entrances with one being the small alleyway directly behind the prison bus and the other being the opposite end of the police station facing the water.
Using the small alleyway is not recommanded as the metal gate is inaccessible. Once the player touches the gate, the officer on guard will become hostile and sound the alarm along with a 3-star wanted level with the bus leaving immediately.
Use the back way to get the prison bus to leave. Climb the first ledge and get the Body Armor laying close to the wall. Climb the second ledge and be on the same level as the police carpark. Do not climb over fence, walk along the outside fence and a message prompt will appear saying that the bus is leaving. You will not get noticed and thus no wanted level. Run and jump back down the ledges and quickly get to a vehicle. Pursuit the bus and hijack it by blocking its way or shooting the driver (but beware of the prisoners behind him).
Reward
The reward for completing this mission is $5,000 and the next mission, This Shit's Cursed, is unlocked.
After the mission
- Johnny will receive a phone call from Stubbs, unlocking his optional set of missions.
- Johnny will also receive a text from Billy, telling him to come to the clubhouse, unlocking the next mission.

Trivia
- This is one of two missions in which the Prison Bus appears, though this is the only one where it can be obtained and driven.
- A unique turquoise Rhapsody can be found across the street from the Jousters Club after the opening cutscene. It can be saved by parking it at Niko Bellic's penthouse in Middle Park and continuing the mission in another vehicle. After the mission is completed, a Stallion is parked on the Alderney docks.
- If the player shoots and kills a prisoner on the bus from the outside, their corpses will often fall through the floor of the bus.
- The last prisoner on the right side of the Prison Bus will have his foot passing through the rear fender. This can be noticeable when reversing the Prison Bus or braking, seeing how the prisoner's foot is hidden by the rear wheel.
- During the mission Niko, Packie, Derrick, and Michael rob the Bank of Liberty, The Ballad of Gay Tony starts.
- Depending of the path choosen by the player, some unique roadblocks can be seen. These paths are: Leading to the Plumbers Skyway by Rand Avenue (five police cars); to the Catskill Avenue and Panhandle Road intersection, the one that's under the skyway (two police cars); to the Bridger Street and Tenmile Street intersection (three police cars) and two roadblocks on the intersections between Sacramento Avenue with Beaverhead Avenue and Owl Creek Avenue (four police cars, two for each intersection).
- A unique scripted scene can be seen on Asahara Road if the player decides to use the Booth Tunnel to escape the police. An Angels of Death bike convoy can be seen coming out of the tunnel and driving towards Alderney City. They do not pose any threat and does not affect the mission other than being a minor obstacle, with Johnny commenting "I hope them Deadbeats're enjoying their run."
- Much like Action/Reaction, Johnny can actually call Billy after reading his text message after this mission.
- This mission is similar to GTA IV mission Tunnel of Death.
