CATCH THE SPY AND DESTROY HIS VEHICLE BEFORE HE CAN REPORT OUR LOCATION. IF HE ESCAPES OUR ENTIRE VENTURE IS IN JEOPARDY!
Audio: We've been spotted by a scout. I don't know who he's working for, but I don't want him reporting back. You take him out while I jam his radio signal.

| Baja Truck: Bombs | ||
In this mission you have to destroy the enemy vehicle. Destruction missions are one on one missions with no law enforcement or other enemy vehicles around. You have a certain amount of time to destroy the enemy Buggy on this one. The enemy has a route that will take him all over the map and it's long enough to waste the entire time limit. He also likes to take sudden turns and head off in another direction, so it's easy to overshoot him and spend time catching back up. You can deplete his life meter by ramming into him, pushing him into obstacles or using a bomb countermeasure on him. On a new game, you'll want to use either the D-5 Hondo or the Baja Truck. It comes down to which you like better, since you don't have the bombs unlocked on the Baja yet. Choosing any vehicle, go with the Grenadier, which is large and fast.
The tactics will be the same with whichever vehicle you choose. Run up on the enemy from behind and turn into the side of his rear bumper, spinning him. Done correctly, this will pin him perpendicularly across your grill, and you can push into the side of his car to reduce his life. The Buggy will turn the whole time you're doing this in an effort to free itself, so you have to turn with it. The Buggy will try turning whichever way his nose is pointing, so if he's facing to your left, that's the way you'll be turning. This maneuver takes some practice, so in general you just want to ram him whenever possible, and keep contact as long as you can. If you're using the Baja Truck or the Grenadier with their countermeasures, get right in front of him and drop your bomb, to assure he hits it. This will blow you up too and take your health down, but yours regenerates and his does not.
[edit] Best time
There is no difference when going for best time; just use the Grenadier and once you make contact, never let him go.
