Boomshine Blowout: move all four crates through the burning warehouse

Prerequisite and warehouse approach

Phil Cassidy offers Boomshine Blowout after Cholo Victory. Start at his Viceport depot, marked P. Enter his Walton and drive him to the marked Big Package Storage Company warehouse near the Little Havana/Little Haiti boundary. The building name and destination marker are more reliable landmarks than differing neighbourhood descriptions in guides. Pass the first marker into the alley, then reach the designated position behind the building. After the door scene, the warehouse is burning. Phil positions the truck for loading while Vic operates the forklift. You must rescue four marked boomshine loads.

Understand forks, camera and heat

The yellow forklift starts near the warehouse entrance. The loads are on the right, in the southeast; Phil’s Walton is on the left, in the southwest. The mission camera looks inward from the southern end. Directions such as north/up and east/right refer to this warehouse overview, not the left and right sides of the forklift as it turns. For pickup, lower the forks and approach the pallet squarely. For delivery, raise them to loading-bed height and approach the Walton’s rear. The loading zone registers the delivery with a short fade. Do not keep pushing into the truck when the real issue is fork height or alignment. Heat rises over time, and holding cargo above fire increases it faster. Follow your current Heat meter rather than assuming a guaranteed number of minutes. Watch the route primarily; staring at the bar can cause the collision that costs the remaining time.

Controls by edition

The original editions share the objective, but a PSP button description should not automatically become a PS2 instruction. A different control setup takes precedence over a memorised sequence.

Step by step: pickup and first delivery

Use each open route for both pickup and return before the next collapse.

1. Enter the marked yellow forklift and lower its forks completely. Face the southernmost accessible load on the warehouse’s right side. Briefly check the mechanism before touching the pallet.
2. For crate one, drive directly east/right. Approach squarely and slide the forks beneath the pallet. If the load does not attach, reverse slightly and correct the angle rather than pushing its side.
3. Once loaded, reverse out of the confined pickup position. Raise the forks along the clear return path and approach the Walton on the left. Line up with its rear until the short fade confirms delivery.

Step by step: three progressively longer routes

After a collapse, do not assume the last gap remains usable. Follow the new open connection even when it initially leads away from your destination.

4. After delivery one, the direct eastern link is blocked. Go north through the near aisle, pass the shelving and take the second connection east. Reach the right-hand side, then head south to crate two.
5. Lower the forks before the second pickup and approach squarely again. Return along the same detour and raise the load in time for unloading. Let the second obstruction change finish.
6. For crate three, begin north again, then take the first available turn west/left. Make a U-turn around the shelf at the left side. Head east through the surviving cross-passage and south to the load.
7. Collect the third pallet and return through that connection. Do not cut the loaded turn across orange flames. After delivery, the third collapse closes another previously used passage.
8. For crate four, start with the western detour again. Then turn north in the middle lengthwise aisle until you can pass the rear shelving. Cross east at the warehouse’s northern end and head south on the right to the final load.
9. Return with the fourth pallet through the surviving northern connection. Raise the forks to loading height before reaching the Walton and enter its rear delivery zone cleanly. All four registered deliveries trigger Phil’s departure and completion.

Troubleshooting and another attempt

A small straight reverse usually costs less than continuously accelerating into shelving. The forklift cannot simply power through a poorly judged corner.

FAQ: what does completion require?

All four deliveries must register before the heat meter fills. Phil then leaves with the loaded truck. Save normally at your accommodation before starting. Following failure, restart the assignment or use the offered retry procedure; pallets already delivered do not form permanent partial progress. This route covers PSP and PS2. It does not assume a mobile release, the Definitive Edition or a native PC port.
