The second heist inPayday 3, Road Rage, sees the gang cleaning out an armored truck at a construction site. Unlike most of the missions in the game, Road Rage has no stealth option - the heisters are fully masked and armed from the start, and once the truck arrives so will the police.

Being able to execute the heist quickly is your surest means of success. After all, the quicker you may secure the loot and make your getaway, the fewer bullets you’ll have to dodge once elite cops start showing up.
How To Stop The Armored Truck
When the mission starts,don’t run forward right away.Instead, look for a crate in front of you, which contains theEMP Devicethat you’ll use to disable the truck. Shade will highlight the crate a few seconds after you spawn in, but you can open the crate before she does so to save a bit of time.
From here, you haveninety secondsto carry the EMP Device to the other end of the bridge, place it in the designated spot, and turn it on. When (not if) you’re spotted by the civilian construction workers, you’ll need tointimidate and tie them down.If even one worker escapes to call for help before the truck arrives, or if the truck passes before the EMP Device is ready, you’ll beforced to abort the heist.
Directly next to the EMP Device setup spot is a cargo container that you’re able to open; itusually contains a medkit and some rolls of cash,and is a good place to take cover during the next step.
Escorting The Truck
When the truck is disabled, Shade will draw your attention to another crate,randomly placed a short distance backalong the bridge. This contains the remote steering device; carry it to the passenger side of the truck, install it, and turn it on. After several seconds, Shade will take control of the truck and start moving it toward the objective.
The truck can only move ifat least one playeris within the circle shown around it. If the circle is orange, this means that nobody is close enough and that the truck is stopped.
AI players cannot move the truck forward; if you aren’t playing with a full team,always be sure that one human playeris near the truck.
The truck’s route is randomly determined. Be prepared for either of the following scenarios:
Left-Hand Route
If the truck goes along the left side of the bridge, it will have an easier time moving since there are fewer obstacles, but you’ll haveless cover overall.Stick to the left side of the truck when you can toavoid sniper fire.Halfway along the route, there is a fence thatneeds to be opened with an electrical box nearby.The location of the electrical box is slightly randomized, but it’s always very close to the fence and on the near side.
Right-Hand Route
If the truck goes to the right,be sure to collect the wheel rampsnear the cargo container and along the unused left side of the bridge. You’ll need toplace these over the gaps in the roadto allow the truck to cross.
If you’re playing with four players, be sure thateverybody grabs one ramp.If not, you may save time bypicking the ramps back upafter the truck passes over them instead of going for the extras on the left side.
Near the end of the route, the truck will be blocked by a forklift. Somebody will need to interact with the machine to move it out of the way.

How To Break Into The Truck
At the end of the route, Shade will guide the truck onto a raised ramp thatplayers can crouch under.Once it comes to a full stop,install a drillon the highlighted panel on the underside of the vehicle. When the drill gets through,remomve the panel and cut the wiresto open the truck’s back door.
Inside areseveral safe deposit boxes.Have one player start opening and looting them, while the rest fight off the oncoming enemies. Once a cache of rare elements has been found and bagged, you’ll be able tosignal the helicopter for extraction.
Some of the scaffolding nearby can be climbed, providing a vantage point to attack from above.
How To Escape The Armored Truck Heist
A flare will appear a short distance from the truck, in the middle of the bridge.Activate itto call for the helicopter. Listen to Shade when the chopper is on approach - she’ll say whether it’s coming in on thenorth side(on your right as you exit the truck), or thesouth side(on your left). If you have a clear path,start moving the bagsunder the construction scaffolding on the appropriate side.
When the helicopter arrives, you canthrow bags over the side of the bridgeto secure them on the aircraft. you may’t leave until you’ve secured theminimum number of rare elementsindicated by Shade. Bags of cash will earn you extra money at the end of the heist, but the rare elements are the primary objective.
Once you’ve gotten enough loot, you can leave at any time byrunning back along the bridgetoward where you first disabled the truck. Keep to your left, where you’ll seehighlighted safety nettingthat you can cut away to reveal a path.
Make your way down the scaffolding until you find the extraction point; once every teammate has gathered there, you’ll be able torappel to safetyand end the heist.
