What to do

There are three ways to narrow down your options:




The first way is extremely easy, and should be done at the start. It narrows the options down to two trucks. These are the six trucks themselves.
First of all look at the company names. There are four companies, and six trucks, so two of the companies will have a second truck. You can automatically ignore these trucks. You will be left with two trucks, be sure to note their colour and company name.
It is possible the two remaining trucks will be the same colour, this means you have to check the computer or guess for a 50/50 chance of success.
The companies names are Avalon, Omni Exports, Kranich and Hefty, and the four possible colours are green, yellow, red and blue.
On Death Wish there will be a ship blocking your view of the trucks, but as you have to physically go over to the trucks to tag them, this won't be too much of a extra problem.
You will now be left with two trucks, one of which is the correct truck to tag. The advantage of doing this early is if you get caught, you can ecm and tag one of the two trucks, for a 50% chance of tagging the correct truck.

In short: No duplicate company names



The second way is, again, colour coded. After narrowing down to two trucks, you need to look at the containers. There are always three open containers in different locations. If a container is open, check the contents of it, and if it is voting cards then the truck that is the same colour as the container itself is the correct truck. Every container containing junk items are the wrong trucks. Sometimes the containers are shut, meaning if the other containers don't narrow down the options enough, you will be forced to guess or go to the computer. BE WARNED: Sometimes one container of a colour can have junk and a different container of the same colour have voting cards, make sure you check all 3 containers!!!
A screenshot of the voting cards. If you find this then the truck is the colour of the container (in this case, the truck would be blue) - because I waited to take a screenshot, I got spotted! The things I do for you guys xD

In short: The colour of the container with the voting cards is the colour of the correct truck/The colour of every container with junk items in are the same as trucks that are not the correct truck.



The third way of narrowing down which truck it is is using the computer. The computer spawns in one of the two warehouses. It will be in one of the two rooms inside the warehouses, normally behind a security door (so if you don't have ecms that can open doors it is best to buy the keycard asset!). You can check where the computer is through the window before using your keycard, otherwise you will be forced to drill or break the window (breaking the window almost always alerts the guards).
Use the computer three times to see three different company names, along with a destination. Look at the company names, and any names that show up on the computer will not be the correct truck. You will now be left with one truck that is the correct truck to tag.

With the computer, the order they pop up is always the same: Avalon, Kranich, Omni then Hefty. A quick way when hacking the computer to see which one it is is hack the computer until there is a break in that pattern.
E.g. First one to show is Kranich, you know it is Avalon as it is missing from the pattern. First one to show is Avalon, Second to show is Omni, so you know it's Kranich.

In short: the three company names that show on the computer are the names of trucks that are the wrong trucks.

Example

Trucks: (Company name - Colour of truck)
Hefty - Red
Kranich - Blue
Avalon - Yellow
Omni Exports - Green
Avalon - Blue
Kranich - Yellow

This narrows down the options to Hefty (red) and Omni Exports (green).


Containers: (Colour - Cargo)
Blue - Headphones
Red - Closed
Yellow - Bleach

Because the blue and yellow containers contained junk items, the correct truck is not blue or yellow. Because the red container is closed, you cannot determine whether the red truck is correct or not from this information.

Computer showed:
Kranich
Hefty
Avalon

Because the computer showed these companies, the correct truck does not have any of these three company logos on the side.


This means that the correct truck is the green Omni Exports truck, due to not having a second truck, not being blue or yellow, and not being on the computer.

Finishing up

Hope this helps everyone get the correct truck every time, or if you like doing the bank heist, get the wrong truck every time by knowing which is the right truck ;D


Thank you to Overkill for making such an awesome game :D

i think a way to make it easier. You just have to look at a solo one with a unique color and it's him

[Markzone]

I think all you need to do is just search the containers, find the right color, and find the right company if you are speedrunning. The containers part seems a little risky though

I was looking for the 60s achievement and couldn't do it. After reading this guide, I just esm rush for the two trucks and restart if i fail.
Thanks for the guide :)
