Mine Island Rescue

Mine Island Rescue is a unique Grade 2 mission assigned by Venture. This mission is added in version 1.3.10.

Synopsis
Venture received a request of a kidnapped tech named Whimpy who apparently needs rescue. He is held captive on a mine island by what Venture refers to as a "Nasty Bandit." The player then heads to the island and, after confronting Gruntle, attaches Whimpy's thruster, allowing him to escape.

Strategy
A light tech is required for this mission, should aerial vehicles stray out of the picture, as the only other method to access the island is via the stunt jumps. Repulsor turret will block access to one ramp, but the slow RoF of the Venture Sonic Lance allows him to be bypassed. Either way, reach the island and wait for Gruntle to turn hostile.

Gruntle may be a tough opponent for lighter techs, though there are two viable solutions: He can be sniped with another tech waiting before the moat, or he can be lured into the minefields, which destroys him instantly.

A Venture Little Stud Pulse Booster will spawn on the ground. Attach it to the correct location on Whimpy and you're done.

Trivia

 * The Minefield does not actually blow up vehicles getting close to it. The game is programmed to destroy the control block of any tech entering the vicinity on the ground so it would be an effective instant-kill. Same goes for anything else that gets too close.
 * Whimpy will have quotes if any tech hits the mines.
 * This mission cannot be cancelled due to it spawning specific, permanent terrain structures.
 * If the attached block is not a Venture Little Stud Pulse Booster, or if it was attached in the wrong AP, the mission will never progress since the game does not allow players to pull blocks from neutral techs.
