1 before MD, 1 on the way to cropduster to regain stamina 1 after BP/before high noon and 1 after High noon

Don't answer the call you get just before the BP marker, because that is the catalina call which is not needed. Answer the one on the way to cropduster in a way that lets you get to the BP marker before the catalina call comes up which is a low priority one.

After smb you don't need to answer anymore calls.

i am worried about maverick despawning because of the distance

Anyways,setting it up before FK is slow as well. You need to wait for the 15s call and only then you can start flying to bike school, then you have to wait another 20s or so for the call to appear because you get there before it. In FK you have to wait another 20s because getting spook-o-meter up only takes like 40s

This dupe is sooo not worth :P (well it still gains time but definetly not worth doing in a run)

Yes, we do have a catalina call. But if there's no fast way to get Fk on om0 you would need another call to make the dupe process any fast. If you release the call during the fade it doesn't set it to om0, entering marker and skipping the cutscene answers the call....i'm pretty sure it does anyways.

setting up the dupe after FK would probably despawn your maverick and it would be too rng dependant with vehicles as well as not worth at all in the end.

I might be missing something here, though BrokeBack

I want to add that sf was the worst part of my run, if you watch the video you can see that i basically make a mistake on every mission like fall off bike or sth, i forgot to grab the missiles on monster too which cost me 20s. I lost 3 minutes to a very good sf in general. DansGame

I only skimmed through your video but you probably made mistakes too so take that into account ofc.

Maybe if you did the proper call holding route at the start of sf that would change something, depends how fast driving school after highjack is.

On another note, do we have a call for explosive situation duping? It seems to me like the only Fast way to hold a call through FK is to actually answer the 1 minute call Maybe this route makes es dupe obsolete Kreygasm - probably not though because we can't have nice things in sa Edit: Not "this route", just availability of calls in gneral.

Would i use it? Probably not.

It's okay, i love you, patrick. I didn't have any issues with 555 since i started using the method i posted anyway. This would still be a problem for all missions ,probably.

yea, i think doing the slide outside with the first two is not worth, i only think doing it with the 3rd crate is worth because it's easier from what i tested

For people who can't be bothered learning the proper strats, this is how you get the D.A. to come faster All you do is look at the way i look and he will respawn to the left side I don't know who found it if you care about that stuff but antistreaks sent the method to me

Black project optimizations because we are supposed to be grabbing the jetpack when there's still 40s left on quarry timer but i myself am grabbing it at like 15s

Don't be an idiot like me and answer the catalina call on the way to black project because you DO NOT need it,answer the 15s call atleast 57s before you reach the bp marker so you don't get the catalina call Flying deleted his post about stamina, in order to keep all the way through when going to the maverick, answer a call in the middle of the road/when you're past it (jump+answer)

This strat here is also very fast & makes pause buffer strats even less worth (i'd say they're 10s slower than them, probably even less) I only did 1 take so this isn't optimal but basically kill all the people you can see and then just run past the rest. Ignore the last 30s i don't know why i kept recording

next

For garage door in los desperados to open faster, run away a bit from hazer so that he doesn't get stuck. He is the one that triggers the door.

Home invasion strats found by Flying (he deleted his posts about them) Basically follow my inputs, i only did it for the last crate because i don't know how he does it for the first two and can't be bothered finding out

sorry,what thread was i supposed to post it on? We are discussing new strats, right?

The denise thing for whatever reason only delayed the call for 10s. Just when you think you avoided it, nope Kappa Remember when i said there's "always" something that happens in this game? Well, this proves my point. I have not had a single PB yet where there isn't something completely out of my control losing me over a minute or 2. Well,this was pretty much run over, i think i handled the situation well but the game won

You can also get trolled by progress with denise during the 0¤ glitch section,this game always comes up with something new

Maybe you could hold a call through monster, then get a police rancher and activate vigilante, answer highjack call (if Zero doesn't take priority) and dupe it that way

I've done both missions like 10 times now with caps,call never let go. It could be one of these things: 1.If you're still using the old autosplitter that could be releasing your buttons at the end of missions(Like it does in Nines And Aks) 2.Your own keyboard 3. Version thing? 4. (last resort) You're not skipping last outrider cutscene with mouse and snail trail lets go because you're in a vehicle at the end?

Good shit. Optimally, you would kill the 1st guy by landing on him,however that is not so consistent lol

This game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo troll - everytime i don't get a cop bike/car while waiting for the reporter, the taxi driver becomes an angry driver after the 1st light so i can't even pickup a cop vehicle if i see one. Honestly, Just reset. Or if you get a cop vehicle doesn't matter - you'll just have your tire popped in pier 69 or madd dogg will die :D

Always something in this game, ALWAYS :D

What is the backup strat for no cop vehicle during snail trail? or even one after it?

Giving all 10 boxes to Ryder in catalyst asap is around 4 seconds faster than missing a few, getting the first box throw fast is pretty difficult however. Hold LMB before the crate throwing section even starts. If you do it fast enough, you get ghosttown (no traffic at all for the rest of the mission) which is weird.

After trying many different ways of doing MDR, for the last 2 guys i am sticking to touching the 1st guy(just a tap, not spraying him) so he shoots you once/twice, making the last guy not spot you for some reason........? Just off my experience

Outrider: Incaaaaaaaase you were wondering, you need all the AK ammo you can get, so you need to make sure you grab the AK ammo from the guys up top in the 2nd wave aswell as 3rd. Kill them last since the AK despawns if you take too long to get it. snail trail: Taxi can come from 2 different ways. I think the swimming days one is slightly faster. Looking at the way the taxi spawns prevents it from spawning, i think. There's also a bribe star nearby, no pic but if you google it you should be able to see it, grab that after you got the police vehicle so that you don't have to hold a call all the way through the mission (Resting your pinky for the 5 minute long part is a good idea,i think :D ) I also wonder why the taxi driver sometimes gets pissed off after the 1st red light, but sometimes after the 3rd? something to do with traffic in his way is my bet, but could just be RNG. Depending on how fast he gets pissed you can lose like 50 seconds due to chill driver. Maybe there is a way to piss him off consistently,though? I can't remember anyone having a strat for that

if it's one mission wouldn't duping photo opp skip both jizzy and the cs? And what's the deal with es now? Does the sanchez strat affect anything or no :D . Kind of still hoping for someone to come out with a way to dupe chips or ketchup succesfully so all this es stuff becomes irrelevant

It is still worth doing though if you get your tire popped I Golded TLF by 1:40 which is just ridiculous and the NRG challenge thing only costs like what, 15s? Kinda a strat you have to do Edit: Actually, if anyone wants me to i can upload a video on how to do the NRG challenge thing optimally, if anyone wants me to? Let me know, i do thinks it's pretty straight forward,though.

Implying that you can run away from very accurate triads with t-bone shooting an AK at you NRG also despawns if you're not on it when you kill t-bone, losing more than a minute hype? Losing a minute sounds like a dead run to me....
