Tracking down every bounty target in Grand Theft Auto 5 requires a strong understanding of the expansive San Andreas map. As the second individual on Maude Eccles' tracking list, Larry Tupper poses a unique challenge due to his remote hideout and aggressive defensive squad. Finding his specific location allows players to claim a substantial financial reward while advancing Trevor Philips' side story.
Finding the Exact Desert Hideout
Maude sends an email containing a vague picture of a rural farm area located within the Grand Senora Desert. Larry Tupper is specifically hiding out by a large abandoned barnyard situated just south of the Victory Inn hotel. Players can navigate directly toward the dusty dirt trails located southwest of the Sandy Shores airfield to locate this hidden structure.
Approaching the farm structure carefully from the surrounding hills prevents the target from realizing you are nearby. Utilizing a high vantage point allows players to scout out the perimeter using binoculars or a sniper scope. This preparation ensures you can see the layout of the area before initiating the official confrontation.
Managing the Enemy Confrontation
Larry Tupper is not alone at the desert farm and stands surrounded by several heavily armed associates. The group will immediately initiate gunfire when Trevor enters the perimeter of the barnyard area. It is highly recommended to eliminate his hostile friends quickly while ensuring Tupper himself remains completely unharmed during the chaos.
Using non-lethal methods or aiming directly at the legs of your targets can help control the battlefield without causing accidental casualties. Trevor can also utilize his special combat ability to absorb incoming damage while systematically neutralizing the defensive guards. Once his allies fall, the main target will attempt to flee the area on foot.
Securing the Target for Maximum Payout
Bringing the fugitive back to Maude alive yields a significantly higher cash reward than terminating the target during the encounter. Players should quickly pursue the fleeing criminal and utilize a stun gun or basic physical strikes to force a swift surrender. Once neutralized, he will cooperatively enter your vehicle so you can begin the journey back.
Drive carefully back toward Maude's home location in Grapeseed to finalize the mission parameters officially. During the drive, the target will converse with Trevor, offering unique background dialogue regarding their shared criminal past in the region. Arriving safely at the homestead completes the tracking assignment and unlocks the next criminal file.
