Caught with Your Pants Down walkthrough

Pants off at Yusuf’s

Go to Yusuf’s apartment. He is dancing in his underwear with his friend Jonelle, and Luis tells him to cut the language. Yusuf has heard he can get some real hardware: a NOOSE tank. He shoves money at Luis to get him on board.

Then Yusuf’s father walks in. Yusuf introduces Luis as Mr. Lewis, his technical advisor, and Jonelle as Luis’ wife, and says he lost his pants in a creative meeting. His father is not convinced. Yusuf whispers that he will text about the tank and shoos Luis out.

The Skylift

Go to Star Junction, where Yusuf’s chopper is parked on a rooftop. Get in. Yusuf can not be seen flying his own chopper, so Luis takes the stick. Fly near the Skylift, a big cargo helicopter carrying the APC on cables.

Shoot the bolts on the APC to release it before it reaches the police station. The help text says to shoot the yellow bolts on the cables. Hover close to the Skylift and pick them off one by one. The 100% rating allows no more than ten shots for all four, so aim carefully.

Drive the tank

The APC falls into the street. Land, get to the APC and climb in. The help text says to fire the cannon with the attack button. The objective is Take out as many cops as you can until they back down. The rating wants six police cars destroyed with the APC and less than 50% damage to it, so keep moving and fire at each car as it closes in.

When the police back off, lose the cops and deliver the APC to Yusuf’s building site in Castle Gardens. Yusuf is up above in a cargo helicopter and tells you to stand back while he picks it up.
