==Briefing==
  
  +
−
[[The Protagonist]] and [[Tera Patrick]] discussed about what more evidence they could find to take down [[Ultor]]. Tera figured that with the chemical truck Ultor was currently moving they'd have enough evidence against Ultor.
  
  +
==Overview==
  +
After [[Ultor]] pays [[Channel 6]] to not run the story regarding the bodies [[Playa]] and [[Tera]] delivered in [[Weekend at Tera's|the previous mission]], the two discuss what to do next at the [[Saints Hideout]]. Tera concludes that the chemical truck that Ultor is currently moving would provide stronger proof against Ultor than the bodies, and they both leave to find it.{{ref|'''Cutscene''': [[#cut1|If At First You Don't Succeed...]]}}

  +
After delivering the [[Runner|truck]] with the chemicals to Channel 6, Playa tries to convince [[Jane Valderamma]] to launch the story. However, Jane states that she wants a personal interview with Tera, believing "a {{wp|whistleblower}} endangering their lives for justice" is a better way to get ratings.{{ref|'''Cutscene''': [[#cut2|Contract Negotiations]]}}

Drive towards the chemical truck's location. NOTE: the truck is on the highway, not below it. When you get to its location, shoot it until it is forced to stop and you'll spawn standing on the truck in a few seconds. While Tera drives towards the airport to store it, protect the truck from any attacker. This may include normal [[Five-o|police cars]], [[Tornado]]es and lastly, [[EDF Scout]]s. The latter might take some time to kill, but if you aim right with the grenade-launching machine gun you are given, you can take them out with ease. When you finally get there, the mission will be over. You may notice a circle shaped shadow goes across the truck.it is actualy a [http://saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/Destroy Destroy] UFO

As Tera drives towards the [[airport]] to store the truck and its chemicals, an [[AR-50 w/Grenade Launcher]] is provided with infinite ammo on the back of the truck in order to protect the truck from all attackers, which initially include just Five-Os and [[Tornado]]es, but later also involves [[EDF Scout]]s.{{ref|image=Burden of Proof - 3 EDF Scouts and an incoming Rocket.png|Burden of Proof - 3 EDF Scouts and an incoming Rocket}} The latter two vehicles are more deadly than the Five-Os, so one should remember to use the under-slung grenade launcher on the assault rifle.

"Burden of Proof" is the second of three missions in the Ultor Exposed DLC.

EXPECT HIGHWAY DELAYS
— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

Overview

After Ultor pays Channel 6 to not run the story regarding the bodies Playa and Tera delivered in the previous mission, the two discuss what to do next at the Saints Hideout. Tera concludes that the chemical truck that Ultor is currently moving would provide stronger proof against Ultor than the bodies, and they both leave to find it.[1]

After delivering the truck with the chemicals to Channel 6, Playa tries to convince Jane Valderamma to launch the story. However, Jane states that she wants a personal interview with Tera, believing "a whistleblower endangering their lives for justice" is a better way to get ratings.[2]

Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

Rush hour was worse than usual today thanks to yet another highway battle involving the 3rd Street Saints. While the target of the hijacking remains unknown, the aftermath of a speeding truck with no regard to traffic laws is all too familiar to the people of Stilwater.

Gameplay

Get to the truck[3]

The chemical truck to steal is located on the highway and is being escorted by two Five-Os.[4] The GPS route leading to the truck is a little misleading; be sure to drive up onto the highway when nearing the access ramp.

Stop the truck without destroying it[5]

When nearing the truck, either shoot it until it is forced to stop or pull ahead and shoot the driver through the windscreen. After some dialogue from Tera, the next segment of the mission begins.

Although the objective specifies not destroying the truck, it is very difficult to destroy it by mistake, but it can be done by using the EDF Scout to repeatedly strike it with rocket.

Checkpoint
Protect the truck[6]

Regardless of where the truck is stopped, the Checkpoint begins near the Ultor Dome.[7]

As Tera drives towards the airport to store the truck and its chemicals, an AR-50 w/Grenade Launcher is provided with infinite ammo on the back of the truck in order to protect the truck from all attackers, which initially include just Five-Os and Tornadoes, but later also involves EDF Scouts.[8] The latter two vehicles are more deadly than the Five-Os, so one should remember to use the under-slung grenade launcher on the assault rifle.

When passing Semi Broken, a Destroy takes off from the north[9] and flies overhead before flying off to the east.[10]

When Tera finally reaches the airport, the mission is complete.[11]

Failure

The mission can be failed by destroying the truck,[12], or allowing it to escape.[13]
