Walkthrough
Get to Star Junction and get in Yusuf's Swift. Fly to the Skylift holding the APC. Once you get close enough, a cutscene plays. Yusuf will take the controls, and gives you an Advanced Sniper rifle. Shoot the yellow bolts holding the APC. Take out the back two then the front right and the other one (do this within 10 shots to get the Sharpshooter requirement). When the Skylift drops the tank in the air, jump out of the Swift and Parachute down to it, wherever it has landed. You now have a four-star wanted level; get to the Algonquin side and start destroying Police Cars (getting the Cop Cars Destroyed requirement is very simple). Resist the temptation of simply shooting, then running over any cop car chasing you, as enough close range explosions will put the APC in flames, failing the mission. Once you're down to one star, escape the search radius normally and deliver the APC to Yusuf's construction site in Castle Gardens and receive your $10,000 reward.
Trivia
- The mission's title is a common saying, referring to catching an enemy at a moment of weakness, but also a reference to the opening cutscene, in which Mr. Amir catches Yusuf dressed only in his underwear.
- Oddly, if you shoot the Skylift enough, it will spiral down without the APC attached.
- Yusuf can be seen at the top of the crane when you deliver the APC.
- When Yusuf lands his chopper in the intersection, four cars will crash each other and there is a driver inside. However after the game instruct you to enter the Yusuf's Swift, the drivers disappears.
- Sometimes, there is a glitch where Yusuf won't call Luis after he enter the APC, so if the player bring the APC at the construction site, only the broken cutscene will appear where the Luis only look at the construction site. If this happen, the mission will become stuck.
