Mission Info: There are some farmers who are just dying to get the green light on an attack plan that involves a special convoy at the Schaub Pass. Why not give them a shot?
Objectives:
- Ambush the special convoy
- I can recruit more help from the Carbonell, Borrero and Velez families
- Jonron thinks Schaub Pass is the perfect location for an ambush
- Defend the special cargo
Starting Location: Knuckleball
Knuckleball is an operation available at the La Moral base in Conuco, El Este after completing “Bullet Points“. It can be started by talking to Jonron.
Ambush the special convoy
Your main goal here is to ambush Benitez’s special convoy. It follows a set route around the Sombreado Gorge and can be ambushed at any spot, but the Schaub Pass is the best spot. You can do this immediately if you like, or you can recruit assistance from the three families in the area to make it easier.
I can recruit more help from the Carbonell, Borrero and Velez families
Head to the Cabonell family farm to recruit them, they will provide mortars for the ambush.
Head to the Velez family farm to recruit them, they will provide RPGs for the ambush.
Head to the Borrero family farm to recruit them, they will provide roadspikes for the ambush.
Jonron thinks Schaub Pass is the perfect location for an ambush
Now head to Schaub Pass. You can technically ambush the convoy at any point on its route, but if you recruited help then they will all be waiting at Schaub Pass. You can shoot the orange nets to release rocks onto the convoy, or you can use the mortar if you wish. Once the convoy arrives, attack it.
If the convoy happens to pass through Schaub Pass while the recruited families are there and you’re within a close range, the convoy will be automatically attacked.
Defend the special cargo
After the truck with the special cargo is destroyed, you will need to head over to it and defend it. Before Jonron arrives, you will need to destroy the tank. This is best done with any explosives you may have such as an RPG or the default Supremo, or alternatively with the mortar if you recruited help. Once the tank is destroyed, Jonron will arrive.
This finishes Knuckleball operation in Far Cry 6.

I believe this mission is the prerequisite for the Yaran Girasol horse to spawn at Carbonell farm. I’ve seen others claim the trigger is the earlier mission “The New Revolution”, but it was definitely not there for me after that mission, and was there during Knuckleball.

Hey man attack it alone reinforcements will come but you have to wait and heal yourself up cuz you will take damage while you wait start popping shots off at the other vehicles when the times finally right kill the shooter like the lmg guy on the tank EMP the tank optional if you have the EMP grenade and hijack the tank or just hijack the tank try it out see if it works but that should help you with your problem

I shot the truck driver (not at the pass), killed every bad guy around, destroyed the nearby tank, no Jonron. Took the truck to the pass where all the farmers were waiting and everyone shouts “protect the truck”. From who? There are no enemies there, and no Jonron!
