The objective
Bus Ambush is a street encounter built around an armoured bus and the armed crew waiting with it. There is no arena queue. Travel to the depot, decide where to fight and be ready before provoking the ambush. Other players in the city can help finish the encounter and share its bounty.
Head to Westside Depot when Bus Ambush appears. Look for room to move and cover around the encounter.
Attack or try to steal the event bus. Be ready for the crew to respond.
Defeat the goons before departure. The finishing blow completes the fight, but the bounty now also rewards qualifying contributors.
Get into the action

Timing

Tips for your crew
Good to know
Start times, playing together and what happens after the run.
Bus Ambush is one of 13 events on one shared UTC rotation. The current timetable repeats every 65 minutes, with starts five minutes apart, so it does not always start at the same minute past the hour. The countdown on this page shows the next start in your local time; TONIGHT [N] in game shows current entry and availability.
Yes. Bus Ambush happens in the shared city streets, so everyone on your server can join the fight. There is no ENTER queue: results go to players who engage, and being nearby is not enough.
Results show your outcome and earned rewards, then offer TONIGHT [F5] and, where available, ANOTHER ROUND [F6]. City-wide encounters show results to engaged fighters; walking past or being chased does not make you a participant.
