This compares two different jumps to get to the Hold On, Kiddo mission marker if you get a late Kodachi (outside of the escape circle). The bridge jump only saves time if you get a late bike.

For the new strat, you shoot early to make Crispin run to his car. This allows you to kill him earlier when he is entering his car/inside his car.

The Kodachi is used in the comparison here, but you can also do this strat with the Sayonara. When turning onto the bridge, make sure that you are not going too fast or else you might fly past it. And when on the bridge, stick to the right first then go left. I didn't do the U-turn in the bridge jump part that well, so it probably saves more like 1.5-2 secs.

We ( @Mrdirtbag and I ) may finally have a solution for the RNG on Open Your World! The new police escape strats are pretty consistent and should eliminate the scan RNG on this mission most of the time. They work whether you get moving or stationary scans. For switching difficulties, it might be better to do them when reloading the autosave in Open Your World and restarting Thanks for the Tip. I also use the RMB for exiting the menu quickly.

After the comparison, I also show that you can get a faster car while waiting for the scans and a possible backup route if you don't get the escape circle quickly.

The only problem this strat causes is fewer robberies in the run.

For the new route, you need to use some power turning to get past the cops. Then you need to wait until the guy says, "Oh fuck man, they said you were good. You did it." in the cutscene to skip it and avoid the softlock. This new route is risky because you can sometimes lose your speed and not have enough to get past the cops past the bridge.

This only works for fps above 100. You can skip the audio intercepted call between the guy and Tobias by hacking the explosive box nearby. Doing this without losing time requires you to hack the guy's call from inside the car. The cutscene fade (to the map cutscene) also seems to stop the car automatically so that you don't need to brake much to stop next to the bike. Saves 3-5 secs.

This has been known for a few weeks and already done in the WR, but no strat vid was posted.

You can skip the Aiden dialogue on this mission (after killing the hacker) if you kill the hacker quickly enough. Only one of them can be skipped, so it is best to skip the longer dialogue (Well someone's taken an interest in me...). Saves 10+ secs.

The new strat has you use cameras to hack the ctos box. Hack the attract to force the guard inside the room and then use his camera to hack the ctOS box. This is faster than running to the ctOS box on foot and reloading autosave by 2 secs (more if you have slow loading).

Finally a new strat for Stare into the Abyss! There is no need to run across the road and hack the terminal. You can just use cameras to hack it instead and reload the autosave to teleport yourself across.

Now that we have the grenade launcher, it is faster to kill the enemies than escape by driving away. First, shoot 20+ times to make the enemies pursue you. That also makes the guys on foot not spawn. Then blow up all enemy vehicles as quickly as possible. This saves 3+ seconds if done well.

Found a faster way to access the exercise yard terminal while doing the dialogue skip in Dressed in Peels.

For the new strat on the left, just make sure to stop sprinting a couple of steps before you enter the room with the terminal. That should prevent the guard from detecting you.

This shows the new cash run that you can make after Jury-rigged (A2M6) to teleport to Planting a Bug (A2M14). It is faster than using the old cash run and getting a good bike spawn.

Credit goes to @MrDirtbag for finding the new cash run.

For the top left route, you create a cash run while driving to Pit of Paranoia and use that to teleport to For the Portfolio. The T-bone dialogue skips can still be done here because you get the bike.

In the top right route, you quit out of Hope is a Sad Thing at the junkyard to create the cash run. This allows you to teleport directly into the mission, but you don't get to use a bike for the T-bone dialogue skips. However, you do not always spawn in the same place when you quit out of the mission, so what I show here is probably the best case scenario for quitting the mission.

In the bottom left, everything is done normally, but you also do the T-bone dialogue skips due to having a bike.

Credit goes to @MrDirtbag for finding out that it's possible to use a cash run to teleport to For the Portfolio.

You can take a faster route after exiting the elevator. And on the roof, you can skip the Aiden monologue at the end with an explosive.

Credit goes to @MrDirtbag for both of these.

Since we now get the grenade launcher early to do the improved Racine skip, we have one for this mission (Collateral). Killing the two snipers on top of the roof first makes the cars spawn sooner. You can save a lot of time on this mission with the GL because you don't have to wait for the vehicles to get into position.

The cutscene showing the call between Damien and Racine is skipped if you are able to do this strat successfully. This shows how much time the grenade launcher strat can save on Breakable Things. It was found that Racine spawns inside his garage area if you go to the computer and Aiden says "Nothing". None of the regular weapons or explosives could penetrate the walls, but a grenade launcher could if you use a trick to shoot through the wall. I also show my setup here and how to use it to shoot through the wall.

Getting the grenade launcher costs $4000. The best place to get it is normally somewhere where you would already use a CR and not be blocked by any phone calls, so that would be after Tools of the Trade (Act 2 pawn shop). The CR at the gun shop is made after Foresight. Because you spend $4000, that means you probably can't get the Sayanora that early anymore, so you will have to use the Kodachi instead for the first half of Act 2 (not shown here). This also means that more time is lost than shown because you don't get to use the Sayanore until you get enough money later in the run (possible during Breadcrumbs). The enemies in Breakable Things do not despawn if you do the GL strat.

You can block the doors of T-bone's car by throwing an item (IED, Lure, etc.) on the doors to prevent him from getting in the vehicle. This somehow makes the autosave appear sooner because he can't get in. You have to wait several seconds before you can actually move T-bone, so this doesn't waste any time if you do it quick enough.

This was found by Beanieboy.

A way to save time for the boat section in For the Portfolio has been found! The trick that allows you to enter/exit the boat after entering it for the first time is to have the phone up prior to entering it. You must keep it up to be able to do the dialogue skips.

For the bike, you want to use the same one that you drove to the junkyard with. This should limit the time loss, if any, that you get from taking it with you to the end. The T-bone dialogue skips can only be done with a controller on this mission because it allows you to aim from the phone menu. First, you have to block T-bone's path with a bike to prevent him from entering the boat; you must do this correctly though so that he doesn't warp to the boat also. You must then use the grenade launcher to knock T-bone to the ground to skip his dialogue like you normally would if Aiden was to do a dialogue skip. To prevent T-bone from ragdolling and staying on the ground for a long period of time, you should blow up T-bone when he's not on top of the bike or when he's not on the ground; that should allow for faster dialogue skips.

The Aiden dialogue skips can be done with controller or M/K. You again use the phone trick to exit the boat and use a fixed bike to do some dialogue skips.

Thanks to @MrDirtbag for finding the boat dialogue skips on this mission.

Old news now, but the offline 100% has been added and done a couple of times already by @MrDirtbag: https://www.speedrun.com/wd/full_game#100

For the guy in the underground section, you have to do a stop and go motion to get past him. The other cutscene trigger in the last area might not always work either.
