The final diversion is the final mission in the Campaign of Part 2 in Teardown. The Player must stop Mr Amanatides' Truxterminator from destroying Tracy and Cullington, and making sure it falls into the ocean. Unlike all other missions, it is the only mission without an Escape vehicle.
Background[]
After a break-in at Evertides Mall, Mr Amanatides orders the manager to be fired, and a new one installed in his place. Security footage from the break-in allowed Amantides to spot the player character's escape vehicle at the scene, and he reveals his plan to deal with the matter to his trusted criminal contact, not realising it is the same person he intends to kill. Having obtained a Heavy-duty Truck from Frustrum and nitroglycerin and AI components from Quilez Security, he has assembled a massive self-driving bomb and set it on a collision course with Cullington.
Meanwhile, the player character has been invited to a Christmas dinner with Tracy in Cullington.
Required objectives[]
The Truxterminator[]
The Truxterminator drives in a straight line forward from its starting position and does not attempt to steer. It is relatively easy to bump its sides to change its course, and it will not correct its path in any way.
It will explode, instantly failing the mission, if the detonator probe mounted above the cab contacts any reasonably substantial obstacle. Aside from attacking the vehicle with weapons, no other impacts will set off the bomb, so touching the cab, sides, etc is fine.
The vehicle is slow but has a very powerful engine (a Front Loader pushing back against it at full throttle is just about able to hold it in place) and is extremely heavy. It is possible to flip the vehicle on its side using the Industrial Forklift, but it has a strong self-righting action if the player attempts to drag it in this state, and this places the detonator probe dangerously close to the ground.

Trivia[]
- This is the only mission not to have an escape vehicle.
- This mission is one of 3 missions where the "Continue" button does not lead to Löckelle Teardown Services,along with its predecessors, Flooding and The Chase.
- Flooding leads to The chase, the chase leads to a news cutscene, and the final diversion leads to the credits.
- Before the Player accepts the mission, a unique intro theme will play, with a threat message from Amanatides sent from his mobile, as well as Parisa Terdiman's pardon message, and finally Tracy's message.
- These makes said mission the only one to have theme played before the mission.
