In the vast and unpredictable world of Grand Theft Auto V, the Border Patrol series offers a thrilling set of random events that challenge players to confront and outsmart a group of hostile vigilantes. Spanning three distinct locations across the game’s map, these encounters promise intense action and unexpected rewards. Dive into our guide to master these encounters and uncover the secrets of the Border Patrol events.
General premises
Keep slamming into the ATVs and the motorcycles, or conduct fire
This event activates in three different locations of the game world and its course is always the same. You can bump into the members of the border patrol on the lookout for illegal immigrants. The patrolmen will demand you to pull over your vehicle, and it is a good idea to attack them straight away, without giving them time to show their initiative. Depending on your preferences, you can try to squash the bikers and the ATV riders, or conduct fire while driving the car (this is especially advisable while playing as Franklin). Do not get out of the car because you can be quickly surrounded and killed. After you eliminate the riders, examine their bodies to find weapons and cash (up to 700 dollars).
