Can't Board Price's APC Truck Bug Fix

Price's APC Truck Bug

Some players are voicing out concerns about a bug in the Violence and Timing mission. During the mission, Gaz boards the APC truck of Price to provide cover fire by using a grenade launcher.

However, some players are reporting that a glitch occurs upon landing on the truck which results in the player failing the mission.

Restart the Entire Mission

One possible way of fixing this bug is by restarting the entire mission. While it is a tedious task, it would seem as though that the bug will likely occur again if the player starts from the last checkpoint.

Restart the entire mission and check if the problem still persists. If the same glitch occurs, it is also recommended that the player re-launch Modern Warfare 2 if the problem remains.

Ensure That You Have Stable Internet Connection

In order to gain access to the Campaign, users are required to connect to online services. Thus, ensuring that you have a stable internet connection might be a key way of preventing this bug.

How to Beat Violence and Timing in Realism Difficulty

Realism Difficulty Tips
Use the Helicopter As Cover Shoot the Last Truck Survey the Road Before Taking Fights Avoid the Exploding Vehicles Take Your Time With the Grenade Launcher Prioritize Shooting the Bomb Drones Advance After Clearing Enemies

Use the Helicopter As Cover

With the first part of this mission taking place in a helicopter, you have the advantage of choosing when to fight your enemies. You'll want to minimize overpeeking since you only take a few bullets in Realism mode before dying.

Utilize the helicopter and alternate between firing at enemies and taking cover. This method can save you trips to your last checkpoint and lets you advance in the mission.

Shoot the Last Truck

When Gaz falls and hangs from the helicopter, you can just wait until you reach the last vehicle. The only time you need to shoot is when you reach the last truck which can be distinguished by the red barrels in the cargo bed.

You can simply shoot at the barrels and the vehicle will explode. If this vehicle is not shot in time, an RPG will be fired at Nikolai and you'll be sent back to the previous checkpoint.

Survey the Road Before Taking Fights

As you'll be switching between driving the vehicle and shooting at enemies, always check the road ahead if there are any obstructions such as oncoming traffic or if you're about to pass a bend in the road. This can significantly help your gun fights as you can just focus on shooting enemies.

Avoid the Exploding Vehicles

This first portion of the mine-truck chase will have you pass through civilian vehicles. The best way of avoiding both the mines and the vehicles is to stay in the middle or left side of the road. This way you can easily maneuver through the mines while avoiding the vehicles altogether.

Take Your Time With the Grenade Launcher

After boarding Captain Price's vehicle, he will instruct you to take the grenade launcher from his back and fire at enemy vehicles. While most of the vehicles only need 1 shot, there will be some vehicles that take 2-3 grenades. There will be ammo available in the truck so keep shooting at the vehicles and prone if you've taken too much damage.

Prioritize Shooting the Bomb Drones

Once you see any bomb drones being deployed, take them out as soon as possible. These travel a bit slow when they first get deployed but speed up when they get close to your vehicle.

Advance After Clearing Enemies

In the final part of this mission, you'll need to fight Al-Qatala members to get to Laswell. With the way the vehicles are stationed, it will be difficult to see where enemies are coming from. The best way to get through is by taking it one section at a time.

A good distance of advancing is taking it one vehicle at a time. Take a fight and once you see that there are no more enemies, advance to the next vehicle. Take your time and monitor the area with your scope and repeat this until you get to the black SUV.

Violence and Timing Achievements

Test Drive Achievement

The Test Drive achievement is unlocked in the Violence and Timing Mission after driving five unique vehicles. During this mission, you will be switching vehicles in an attempt to reach the front of the convoy. The following vehicle types encountered during this mission need to be hijacked to complete this achievement:

• Pick-up Truck
• Flat Bed Cargo
• Covered Cargo
• Armored Car
• Civilian Vehicle

Keep in mind that Gaz must avoid hitting civilians during this sequence, making it more difficult to switch vehicles. It is also worth noting that taking too much time to reach the front of the convoy will result in a failed mission.

The Test Drive achievement can only be completed before boarding Captain Price's truck as the civilian vehicle will no longer appear past that point.

How to Complete Test Drive

Keeping This One Achievement

The Keeping This One achievement can be accomplished in the Violence and Timing mission. To do this, Gaz will have to reach Captain Price with the first vehicle he hijacks.

After cutting the rope and landing on the truck, Gaz will be tasked to hijack the closest vehicle which is the pick-up truck. It might be difficult to maintain the health of the pick-up truck as it is more vulnerable to gunfire, mines, and the like.

To minimize the damage the truck receives, try taking down enemies from a reasonable distance. It is also recommended to drive behind trucks that have no enemies on board, so long as it does not slow down the player.
