Security Contracts were introduced to GTA Online with The Contract DLC update. When you have an Agency, you can take these small contracts on and they often pay very well. Some contracts will require you to steal back stolen vehicles or protect clients. One contract will ask you to rescue a crashed billionaire but they're in the wilderness. We're going to show you how to find the Raton Canyon client.

How To Find the Raton Canyon Client

We recommend that you visit your Agency armoury or Ammu-Nation before heading out to find this client. Equip yourself with weapons and bombs that can easily take down large vehicles. You will come up against some enemies with serious weaponry, so make sure to prepare.

Once you are ready, jump in your vehicle and follow the map to take you to the client's last known location in Raton Canyon. When you are there, the marker will disappear. The Canyon is quite big but this is how to find the client:

  • Stay on the main (thickest) road that leads down into the canyon.
  • Keep to the right and follow the main road when it bends around to the right.
  • If you get lost, follow the sound of gunshots. They will get louder as you get closer to the Client.
  • Stop when you see this:

This is the indicator that you have found the client. They will be pinned down by several enemies and you must take these enemies out before you can rescue the client. Use the large trees as cover to take them out. After you have dealt with the enemies, run down to the client (who is marked with a blue person on the map). Take them back to your car quickly but be ready for resistance.

All you have to do now is get the client back to the safe house. You will come across a few enemies in large vehicles that want to stop you. Sticky bombs and grenades are good for getting them off your tail as long as they don't detonate near you. If you are in a fast car, you can outrun them. When you get the client back to their safe house, the mission is complete.

The Contract DLC update for GTA Online brought new missions to Los Santos and new equipment to help you complete those missions. We have a guide that shows you how to get the heavy rifle and another on how to get the compact EMP launcher. Also, we have a guide that shows you all of the new cars that came with the update and the ones we may see soon.
