Derailed Extraction is the seventeenth storyline mission in Just Cause 3.

Introduction

Mission briefing on the map: "Zeno, exposed as a traitor, languishes in a rebel prison. Rosa has taken on the role of the political face of the rebellion, with Rico as its field commander. Teo summons Rico to Refugio Umbra on Rosa's behalf: an urgent matter requires his attention."

You'll need relatively few ammunition in this mission. The Grappler and GE-64 can do most of the hard work.

Walkthrough

Rosa is doing a speech in front of a camera when Rico arrives. She asks people to ready themselves to fight for Medici.

Then away from the camera, she tells Rico that nobody must wield the power of Bavarium. This is something Rico doesn't agree with, but he doesn't argue. Rosa explains that Di Ravello is moving a train-load of Bavarium to an unspecified "DRM airport" to be shipped out of the country. Rico has to derail the train before it reaches the destination.

Mario wants to help, but he can't fly a helicopter, so Teo offers to pilot one. Grapple to the Urga Postolka and let him fly you to the destination. On the way, Teo says that he expects there to be trouble. He takes you to the nearest train tracks and tells you to board a train that will take you to the target train.

The train will pass through Cava Montana, a bavarium mine with two large Excavators.

Get on the train and get to the second to last car. Soon another faster train will approach from behind. Teo informs you that you can detach train cars by shooting at the connections. Do this as soon as you're told to. This will take out the approaching train with minimal damage to your train. Failing this will result in your train losing several cars and you may have to grapple your way back to the train, which might not be easy.

Along the way about 10 helicopters will attack.

Tips for ways to deal with the helicopters:

• The easiest way to defeat them is to grapple them to the ground and retract, causing them to crash.
• The Urga Bkolos 2100 transported on the train can be used to destroy the helicopters with minimal risk, but be careful not to drive it off the train or accidentally hit the train itself with its gun, or else you will lose the vehicle and must catch up with the train again.
• If you are being overwhelmed by the military, the second car is a missile car which can be hacked to fire upon them.

Eventually you'll get to the enemy train, which will pass you in the opposite lane. Grapple to it and plant some GE-64 on the locomotive. Get off and detonate.

Trivia

• If you do fall from the train, you might notice that the helicopters are attacking Rico, not the train, which you're still told to protect.
• When you get to the train tracks, there's a very slight chance you'll find a CS7 Thunderhawk waiting on the tracks, which comes from a despawned train when entering the area that happened to have a one, leaving the cargo behind. It might be possible to do a part of the mission with that, but if you ignore it, the train will destroy it by ramming it out of its way.
• Extraction is the Fast Travel used in Just Cause and Just Cause 2.
• The map info mentioning a "DRM airport" is very odd, considering the DRM has only been sighted controlling police stations only.
• Sometimes, explosions will occur in the first cutscene, causing the Postolka to smoke.
  • The helicopter, however, is able to survive long enough to get to the tracks. This could be considered a glitch.
• The train featured in this mission is a unique variant that's much longer than naturally generated trains.
• Oddly, Teo will tell Rico he will monitor his progress from above, even though he is no longer seen beyond that point.
