To get your hands on the Hercules 3AX, you’ll need to embark on a side mission offered by your fixer, Mr. Hands. This Gig goes by the name “Roads to Redemption,” and it sets V on a mission to infiltrate an arms factory located in Dogtown. Follow the map location above to reach the Gig’s location in the EBM Petrochem Stadium. Once you’ve initiated the side gig, follow these steps to secure your new weapon:

  1. Progress through the mission until you reach the objective that states, “Find the production area in the old swimming pool.”
  2. At this point, you’ll find yourself inside the Arms Factory building, and your path will lead you through multiple rooms filled with adversaries as you advance toward the production area.
  3. Keep clearing the rooms as you make your way to the shooting range. It’s in this area where the Hercules 3AX eagerly awaits you inside a briefcase!
