The Unofficial Interstate '76 Mission Faq

Please read this FIRST !!!

This "Mission Faq" is only a GUIDE. For many people it will give too much
information and for some, it will not give enough. Try to finish the missions
by yourself if you can. They run out very fast and then you'll have to wait
six more months for an add-on. : )

The "Mission Objectives" are quoted directly out of the game itself, and
the Weapons, Armor & Chassis loadouts are the settings that I used to beat
the missions.

I hope that this helps some of you through the "rough parts."

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Follow Taurus to Seagraves.
2. Blow up firework's shack.
3. Follow Taurus to the Wagon Wheel Diner and defend it.

You begin your adventure heading North on I-385. Taurus instructs you to
"stay close and to try to match his speed". Do it !!! Taurus will bitch at
you if you lag behind or bump him, so try to stay about two to four car
lengths behind him. (Hint: If you fall too far behind Taurus, the mission
will end prematurely.) Taurus will inform you halfway up the road that he
"knows a shortcut." Follow him as he turns right (North) down a winding dirt
road that will lead you to Seagraves.
When you arrive at Seagraves, continue East down the main street and you'll
find the "Deacon's Fireworks Stand" on your left. BLOW IT UP!!! Now, head
back up the road to where you left Taurus waiting.
Follow Taurus to the Wagon Wheel Diner. You'll be heading North toward
Wellman. When you get over the crest, pick out the closest Creeper and start
blasting. When you kill the first target, you'll hear the CB message "Jodie,
this is Buffy. They got Mr. French! Let's get out of here!" The other two
Creepers will run away. Most likely, they will flee back over the highway,
the same way you came in. Chase them down, and kill them.

1. Dropper: Oil Slick
DEFENSE

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Start up and follow Taurus.
2. Race Taurus forward to the road.
3. Kill Leadsled gang before they blow up the school in Leveland.

Head North on I-385 and wait for Taurus's instructions. He will tell you to
"Turn left one mile at the shack." Follow him and do as he instructs. Turn
west onto the dirt road and follow it until you reach the water tower. Stop
next to Taurus and he will challenge you to a race. Go ahead and race him,
but concentrate on the oncoming jump. Do as Taurus instructs and "hit the
jump straight" (... and fast !!! )
If you make the jump, then the rest is a piece of cake. Finish the race, and
don't worry about winning. (Hint: It's better to lose the race and keep your
car from sustaining any chassis damage.) When you catch up to Taurus you'll
be back on I-385 and ready to save the children.
Head North toward Brownfield (Outlaw Territory) and you'll run into four
bandits heading toward Leveland. Kill anyone who gets in your way or
challenges you, but don't go off on a wild goose chase! STAY ON COURSE for
Leveland!!! (Hint: Since your forward armor is boosted up, don't be too
afraid to go toe to toe with anyone.) Stay out in front if ya can and if
anyone is left to follow you then drop an oil slick and send them crashing
into the ditches. They should be easy kills. (Hint: LINK the 30 Cal mg's
together for shredding action.) I usually only have to kill two of them and
the others run away.

MISSION THREE
WEAPONS

1. Dropper: Oil Slick
DEFENSE
Armor/Chassis
90 / 50
75 / 40
75 / 40
70 / 40

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Destroy the "Bar-D."
2. Kill Creepers on the way to the Bar-D.
3. Kill Creepers defending the Bar-D.

Head South down Highway - 114. The road is very curvy so watch your speed.
Your "chassis" can really be damaged by wreck less driving. (Hint: If you are
following my "loadout" then your auto is set up for moderate damage and heavy
gunfire, so adjust your driving to fit that setup or change the armor/chassis
configuration.)
On your way to the Bar-D you will be ambushed by two Creepers, but you should
have little problem icing them. If you are encountering problems, then try
slowing it down and keep your trigger finger squeezed. Your front armor can
take a beating, so use it to your advantage.
After you waste the two Creepers, proceed South to the Bar-D. You'll find it
on your left, just past the bridge, but before you blow it up, waste the four
creepers who are guarding it.
Take your time and use your LINKED 30 Cal Mg's on them. Target one of them
and stick on him until he is dead (or runs away). After you finish them off,
it's a simple hop, skip and jump to the Bar-D. Just rip a few rounds into the
building and that's all she wrote.

MISSION FOUR
WEAPONS

2. Top: 30 Cal Mg

1. Dropper: Oil Slick
DEFENSE
Armor/Chassis
90 / 50

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Race Patriot and his buddies for four laps.
2. Kill Patriot and his buddies.

This mission can be a pain the first couple times you do it, but once ya know
the secret, it's easy. The easiest way to win the race is to get a very early
lead. He way to grab the early lead is to use your "Nitrous Oxide"
IMMEDIATELY! You will jam ahead of the rest quickly and you must be ready to
slow back down and go left around the track. Slow down and use your Oil Slick
as soon as you are comfortable. Remember that competent driving is what will
get you to the finish line first. Don't waste your time fighting with Patriot
and his thugs. There will be plenty of time for that after the race.
Once you have beaten Patriot, he and his buddies will curse your name and
come after you. Take whomever challenges ya first and stay on him. Using the
linked 30 Cal mg's will do the trick. (Note: This is my favorite part of the
mission. Patriot beat my ass the first six times I raced him. But once I
learned the "secret" and the "layout" of the track, I beat him every time.
Remember, to take the early lead and then calm down and drive SAFELY while
laying down an oil slick behind you gets them every time)
When you beat them, it's over.

MISSION FIVE
WEAPONS
1. Top: 50 Cal mg
2. Top: 50 Cal mg
1. Rear: Firerite Rkt
1. Dropper: Oil Slick
DEFENSE
Armor/Chassis
90 / 50
75 / 40
75 / 40
70 / 40

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Find Taurus. Try I-87 South.
2. Kill any creepers and get Taurus.
3. Meet Skeeter at Fishers Field and hurry.
4. Kill anybody who follows you. < IGNORE THIS ONE >

This is the first challenging mission you'll face. It involves both dueling
and racing, (in that order). (Note: You should now have two 50 Cal mg's
onboard. LINK them together before the action begins. Don't rely on a turret
weapon yet.) You need to hone your aiming skills and this is a great mission
to do it on.
Stay on course as you head East on I-380. You'll quickly lock up a Creeper
heading your way. He's alone so take him head on and waste him with both
barrels. Control your speed and you can target him easily.
When you've killed him, continue East until you see the gas station and the
Creeper. Again, he's alone so lock him up and take him out. (Note: This
Creeper is fast, but he likes to use his Oil Slick, so drive slowly behind
him and avoid the slick or drive "straight" through it and waste him.)
After you put him to sleep, head South on I-87 (The intersection next to the
gas station), until you see a dirt road to your left. Turn off onto the dirt
road and you'll come upon Taurus, but before you can help him you will be
ambushed by a Creeper. He is alone and stupid. Waste him and return to
Taurus's wrecked vehicle and enjoy the flick.
After saving Taurus's butt, you'll be heading South on I-87.
Now is the time to RACE, not fight.
You must get to Skeeter's Van in two minutes. It's not that hard as long as
you brought Nitrous with ya. Speed up and use your oil slick on the clowns
who are shooting at your rear. Don't stop and fight. Stay on the road and
keep going.
Take a right on Oil Well Road. Follow it up and around as it twists and
turns. There are several turrets and Creepers that will shoot at you, but
ignore them. Stay on the road and try to keep your speed at about 70 - 100
mph whenever the terrain permits it. Concentrate on driving and use your oil
slick when anyone follows you.
You will finally come to a downward slope. Speed up as you head down it and
run through the "yellow warning barricades" and use your Nitrous Oxide to
insure you have enough speed to cross the gorge.
Now you FLY.
When you land, use your "Z" key to brake and follow the road to Skeeter.

1. Dropper: Oil Slick
DEFENSE
Armor/Chassis
90 / 50

MISSION OBJECTIVES
1. Get gas.
2. Protect the gas station.
3. Kill all Creepers.

(Special Note -- NIGHT MISSION)
Stay on I-380 until you see the yellow detour sign on your right. Take a
right turn on the dirt road following the sign and hold on tight as you take
the first of three jumps. After the first jump, the road curves back and
forth through the valley. Take it slow, until you come to the second jump.
Once you see it, back up so you can get a good run at it. Use your nitrous
here and go for it. One last jump awaits you after this one. It comes up very
fast after you pass the four yellow arrow signs. If you make that one, then
it's just a short romp to the interstate.
When you reach I-82, turn West and head to the gas station and fill er' up.
While you are gassing' up your tank, two Creepers are coming down the road
for you. Jump in your car and waste em with those Twin 50 Cal Mg's. After you
waste them, "Inferno" will pay you a visit and warn you about "Cloaker".
You must now protect the gas station from four Creepers. Concentrate your
firepower on the ones who go for the gas station and worry about the rest
later. If you take them one at a time, and stay with them, you'll have this
one licked in no time.
