This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, and PC since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. It also works on Mobile (Android/iOS) but you have to be fully updated for it to work. Though, the Method will differ in one tiny aspect because the health of the BF-400 is greater on Mobile. You must rapidly Pause and Unpause the game over and over to drain the health of the BF-400 quicker. Without doing this, it'll never be low enough by the stage you must jump off. You can see that here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPFjGRumDuM - It begins around 3 minutes into the Video. This Method will also work on the Definitive Edition, too, except there is one tiny aspect that will differ. You will need to place a Satchel Charge each on three of the enemies before heading to the Sprunk Machine and blow them up while the on screen text is visible to buy Sprunk. Everything else is the same. You don't even have to rapidly Pause and Unpause the game.

I highly recommend leaving "Just Business" on your Radar as long as possible. Don't complete it until you absolutely have to. All possible Missions CAN BE completed in Los Santos before this one EXCEPT FOR "Reuniting the Families," which would come after "Just Business," and then "The Green Sabre," which comes after "Reuniting the Families."

The AP Packer is the first Special Vehicle to truly ever need an Impound. Impounds DO NOT behave like a normal Garage. Normal Garages can store up to a maximum of FOUR Special Vehicles while the three Impounds in the game (one in each city) can store up to a maximum of THREE Special Vehicles. Each Impound works differently on how you ENTER and EXIT them. The Red Markers that most casual players like to drive a Vehicle to will actually impound those random Vehicles to the nearest Impound and when that happens, your Special Vehicle(s) can be deleted for good! Not ALL Story/Side Missions do this, but a good amount of them can and will, if you don't know what you're doing. I highly advise you to learn how each Impound works and all the quirks that go along with them before you obtain the AP Packer or use the Impounds in general for any other Special Vehicle. An example is this very Mission, "Just Business." After impounding the AP Packer, you drive a Vehicle to the Red Marker to start the Mission. It's now in the Impound in Slot 1 out of 3 and bumps your AP Packer to Slot 2. Do it again, and two random Vehicles will now be in Slots 1 and 2 and the AP Packer in Slot 3. Do it once more, your AP Packer is now gone for good. The Impounds are only used for ADVANCED PLAYERS ONLY!

When the Mission fails, you can find a BF-400 sitting there as I show in the Video. This BF-400 is only DP/EP/FP, thus INFERIOR to Big Smoke's DP/EP/FP/MP (Possible NE) BF-400. Though, if you really wanted to obtain it, just load it up on top of the AP Packer along with the AP Sultan and take both back to Grove Street.

The Packer and Sultan featured in the Mission have Traffic Default Colors and change upon reloading the Mission. None of them are special.

There is a LOT of INFERIOR Special Vehicles in this Mission, plus an AP BF-400 that requires OM0. I will link them below.
