Caught Napping walkthrough

Find a ride

You start on foot in the city with a long way to go, so grab the nearest fast car at once and set off for the marker. The van is already moving north, and the radar shows its position, so keep that blip in view. Do not stop for traffic fights, because every second you lose lets the van put more distance between you.

Chase the van up the coast

Follow the roads out of the city toward the Great Ocean Highway and keep heading north. The road bends along the coast and light fades as you go, so slow down for the corners instead of sliding off into the rocks. Stay on the main road and watch the radar, which will tell you how close the van is before you see it.

Stop the van and free Leroy

When the van appears ahead, pull alongside and put the driver out of action. Ram the van from behind if you must, but do not crush it with Leroy inside. Park close, take out the Ballas who jump out, and watch for the enemies who arrive by car. Once the road is clear, walk up to the van and get Leroy out. He climbs into your car, which sets the next objective.

Take Leroy home

Drive Leroy back to his shop, Leroy’s Electricals, in Strawberry. The Ballas follow you in cars, so keep moving and use the mirror to spot them. Do not stop to fight unless one gets too close. Stay on the main roads, which are quicker, and take the turns smoothly so Leroy stays safe. When you park in the marker at his store the job ends.
