It seems widely considered that the Obvious Variant is slower for The Big One heist. Has anyone actually tried routing it out, however? I am linking a video of me explaining a route (in post commentary) I timed for the Obvious Variant. Optimally. the random switch and the slight reroute, not shown, accounted for, I could save 2-3 minutes off my PB by switching to the Obvious Variant (Using Classic% rules). I've been speedrunning for 5+ years (multiple games), and I know that doesn't mean this is set in stone. I speedrun this game non-seriously for fun. My Classic% PB is around 8:30-9 hours (PB is 9:20, but I did a Classic% with cutscenes for my stream which was about 13:30, so I figure that would have been a high 8 hours, take it as you will). Long story less long, the Obvious Variant may be faster, or me being trash may be making skewed / inconsistent data. While my gameplay is pretty trash, I do think my route is pretty good for the mission. I also know I am not really known around here, but I really just want to help. If it isn't faster, oh well, but it didn't hurt to ask, ya know? (Take my commentary in the video with a grain of salt please, I recorded post-commentary at 3am) Best Regards, brightwolfz Video:
