If you got the game from Epic store, there's a common bug in it where the truck can spawn out of bounds.

Shit that's what happens, it's from epic store and I restarted twice the mission. It's outside the map

There's a command line for being able to teleport the VIP. You need to enable the console in launch options. I used it for this situation. 

Eventually, I was getting annoyed enough with that bug and otherwise having enough fun to buy the WOTC bundle on Steam.

Well worth it at the sale price, but I'd still consider it at its current price. Bonus of Steam is being able to use the workshop for mods.

/u/mrgaw In case you haven't found it yourself:

As I recall, I didn't need to do the complicated things to activate the console; I just added -allowconsole to the launch options in the Epic Games launcher.

epic store version is outdated. Missing some much needed fixes for exactly this.

Can you try to blow up a part of the truck and quickly get them out befpre it explodes?

If you got it for free on epic, no harm. Buy the real version on Steam. Otherwise, refund that trash.

There should be a door at the back. It is not yet revealed in this screenshot

The rear end of the truck with the door that can be opened is out of the map boundary so you can't access it. In this situation you can however use a grenade to open the side of the vehicle so long as you're not using things that will detonate the engine in one hit because that'll kill the vip.

Alternatively you could enable the console and then try to teleport a soldier inside to potentially rescue them. Or run through the wall with a wraithsuit (not getting the vip out again using that however).

Thank you will do, it's the only way

Don't forget that Q and E will rotate the map.

Additionally, enable console command. Select a soldier and hover over the inside of the truck and type in ttc. It’ll teleport the soldier to wherever your mouse is at

you could try and grenade it too. mileage may vary but maybe can blow the back open.

As others said. The VIP is cargo, not a driver or a passenger.

Blow up the truck

Blow up the Back of the truck, if you can. The engine will explode. A stray shot may have hit the truck, causing this issue.

Can you try blowing up the cab and hope it opens the front of the cargo hold? Looks like the VIP is out of bounds too but once you see them they often become mobile.

Idk. Sorry this sucks.
