Cargo Ship

The Cargo Ship is one of the eight primary heists. It spawns near the prison and orange bridge.

Overview[]

The Cargo Ship is a giant transport boat that features two missile launcher systems and six total engines.

Robbery[]

Spawning[]

The Cargo Ship will spawn near the prison, and start traveling towards the other side of the map. If given enough time, it will eventually enter the restricted area of the map and Players will have to wait until it spawns again in order to rob it.

Bridge Points[]

When the Cargo Ship approaches one of two bridges, said bridge will make way for the Ship. This however, renders the pathway for any land vehicles to cross unusable.

Destroying the Ship[]

When the Ship spawns, Players are able to damage the six engines of the ship. The ship will launch heatseeking missiles at Players attacking the engines, firing six missiles at a time. Once all the engines have been disabled, The ship will sink and the containers will float up to the surface. Players must then use a sea vehicle/boat of their choice to drag containers to the port near the military base. The Player will then be awarded accordingly to the amount of damage inflicted upon the engines of the ship, the minimum being 8,000 /450 XP and 16,000 for people with the VIP Game Pass.

Trivia[]

This is the only heist that is on water, if the Cargo Plane crashing into the water isn't counted.
Before its buff, the Cargo Ship was the lowest paying heist for people who didn't damage the engines.
The Cargo Ship is the first moving heist in the game, the second being the Cargo Plane and third being the Tram.
It previously did not have a map icon, but was given one in the March 20th, 2020 update.
This heist gives 8,000-28,000 depending on how much damage the player inflicted upon the engines of the ship.
- As a result, this heist has the possibility to give the highest amount of cash from any heist.
- Although the maximum cash amount was reduced to 22,000 when the September 1st, 2023 update was released.
A player can often hide behind rocks and shoot at the engines, and the missiles will usually crash into the rocks, helping significantly as the player will not get damaged as much.
Each engine has 300 health, meaning it takes 1,800 damage to sink the Cargo Ship.
