Home Invasion

Home invasion is the 15th mission in Los Santos. As well as the 15th mission overall.

Walkthrough
Unlike most of the game's main missions, this is more of some stealth infiltration.

This mission can only be started during 20:00 and 6:00.

After the initial cut-scene, Carl and Ryder hops into a Boxburg and drives to the Colonel's house, in hope of stealing weapon crates from his home.

The main objective for the player is to crouch and move around, and after acquiring a weapon crate, move as slow as possible to reduce noise, so as not to alert the Colonel. After walking out of the house

The amount of crates stolen does not matter, as the rewards are static, so if the player desires so, they can withdraw after stealing three, though they will not be able to return if they enter the truck.

If the player alerted the police, they will have to lose the the 2-star wanted level first, which may be difficult, if not impossible, as the nearest Pay 'n Spray is located far from where the truck was, and the truck itself has a low top speed. If a police bribe is found, then it would be much easier to lose the wanted level.

After leaving the house, and regardless of police involvement, CJ and Ryder will eventually drive the Boxburg to a garage. A this point, the mission is considered as a sucess.

Trivia

 * Although the Burglar side mission is technically accessible before this mission, the Boxburg will not spawn normally before it's completion.
 * It is supposed to be a tutorial for the Burglar side mission.
 * Some of it's mechanics are different from a regular Burglary mission, such as killing the resident will alert the police even if Carl escaped in time.
 * Ryder somehow opens the Boxburg's rear gates without damaging them. This is impossible in-game without using cheats to prevent the vehicle from taking damage while crashing it around to force the doors open.
 * Unless the player has 3 crates, the Boxburg will be locked and inaccessible.
 * If CJ stays in the house for too long and time runs out, the Colonel will notice him, and Ryder will run away, leaving CJ with a 2-star wanted level.
