P5: Gauntlet

We begin this Episode three years later on the prison bus, and with us being the only ones with a Warrant on us! You have a nice conversation on the bus, in which you learn that things may be worse - and better - than you thought.

Tyson appears in a car next to the bus and BOOM! The bus goes bye-bye! When you wake up from your brief nap you are still shackled but are being rescued by one of the perps! He sets you free, and tells you that Tyson will meet you by the water tower.

There are several conditional Achievements for this Episode - one for stealing a Tazer from the back of a Police Car, another for not being spotted, and another for blowing up the Meth Lab. You should know about those so you can try hard to unlock them, right?

What makes this difficult is that the path you can take is very narrowly defined, so you have to take down a cop and get the Tazer as quick as you can and then use it carefully while making your way along the path that is open to you.

When you reach the building you have to go in through the window - that is the Meth Lab! Head into its basement, release the gas then light the flame and get OUT!

Blowing up the Lab unlocks the Achievement Knock Knock (25g) Blow up the Meth Lab in Ep. 5: Gauntlet.

When you blow the Lab the best route out seems to be through the hole in the side wall and up the ladder, then make your way to the porch of the house ahead as that is partly covered and protects you from the chopper.

Get the cop that is patrolling this area to walk past by throwing a rock, then Taze them, then haul butt across the street, through the lot and into the storm tunnels. Go through the narrower tunnel and out the other side, then carefully make your way towards the Tower.

When you arrive you meet up with Tyson, who fills you in on the situation... He provides yo with a light and tells you what to do with it - flash it three times fast, which you do, but then the chippers arrive!

You need to get to the marker on the map but, you also need to avoid being seen by either the choppers OR the patrolling cops. That means dodging from cover to cover strategically. There is really no way we can help you do that - you have to do it instinctively.

After yo hook up with Tyson again he takes you through a mine and to a waiting car where you meet up with Kai - Kai?!

You hear about what has happened in the past three years since you were locked up...

At this point you will unlock the Achievement You Probably Have Questions (20g) Complete Ep. 5: Gauntlet. If you managed to get through undetected you will also have unlocked Graceful Exit (25g) Don't get spotted in the Ep. 5: Gauntlet. If you took a Tazer from the back of a Police Car rather than by knocking out a cop, you will also have unlocked Their Own Medicine (25g) Steal a T62 CEW from the back of a police cruiser in Ep. 5: Gauntlet.

At this point you get back access to your load-out so we will cover what you SHOULD have unlocked to this point...
