You can exit the front of the mansion by using a blackout and R/C car, but you might need to use an extra blackout to get the escape circle. This new strat can be risky because you can die if you mess up your timing/execution.

This compares the fast walking strat (manipulating enemy NPCs to walk faster by shooting a silenced pistol near their heads) done at the marina.

For earlier fast walking, you want to be able to hack the bridge and cross the other side before the boat gets there. Then open the door and stand near the railing to shoot the silenced pistol. Shoot once the briefcase animation starts because it will cancel the fast walking if you do it earlier; this also skips the animation. Doing it this way is very fast, so the guy is not there to shoot you and interrupt your briefcase animation. Use the silenced pistol to kill the briefcase or find another way to damage yourself when using the briefcase. You also need to hack the bridge again to exit the marina, but you should still have enough time to reach Mad Mile ctOS and do dialogue skips. Time saved is about 10 seconds.

The new strat here uses a blackout (after the train is hacked) to prevent it from moving so that you can enter it at the first station. Then you blow up both of their cars up before killing the guys on foot; this makes only one car spawn, and you just blow that one up.

This new strat can save over 35 seconds!

This comparison includes an alternate (safer) way of doing the fast walking strat on this mission because the main method can cause the mission to fail randomly. The comparison is not perfect for the alternate strat, since Bedbug doesn't get out of the car at the same time, and you can probably shoot a second earlier. The alternate strat probably can't be done if you do the skip for the current patch.

New movement tech discovered by me. It simply depends on which weapons you use or not:

Walking; best is a rifle Jogging; best is a rifle Sprinting; best is unnarmed

It's useful in missions in which you are forced into a walk or a jog such as:

Bottom of the Eighth - A1M1 (in the bar), Risky Bid - A2M12 (after gaining your weapons back), No Turning Back pt1 - A4M7 (when finding Lucky) and in Sometimes You Still Lose - A5M1 (in the lighthouse, after climbing the lift)

It also just generally saves time anywhere, all this can save a nice 5-10 seconds.

The new strat here uses the GL to shoot near Tobias to stun him after the autosave, allowing you to take him down closer to where you spawn. If you fail it, you can do the backup GL strat to take Tobias down after climbing over the wall. It is not shown in this video, but both GL strats are obviously faster than the bike strat + poker game dialogue skip ().

THIS STRAT IS ACTUALLY SLOWER

This is a new crazy strat that has been theorized to be slower when it wasn't actually. In order to do the GL strat, aim down, shoot and immedietely stop aiming after shooting (dont forget to cap your fps to 30 to have less chance of dying). Its a really hard strat to pull off so this is not for amateurs. The strat can save a bit more time if it wasnt as sloppy as it was in this strat video. I also had to remove a bit of footage in the Normal Strat so it actually save a bit more time.

Saves 3-4 seconds with a good attempt, or it might just even out the normal strat depending on how bad you do it. (enjoy the funny music btw xdd)

This console only strat allows you to skip the UI of the Cash Run being saved, which saves 4 seconds for each cash runs. It's only useful for certain missions where creating a cash run as fast as possible is important. So it saves approximately ~10 seconds overall. (Note: Make sure to not quit the menu too fast or your game will crash. Wait for the grey autosave icon to disappear.)

Pushing TBone in A3M1 - At the Junkyard is actually faster! Make sure to not go too fast to prevent TBone from ragdolling/dying. This strat can potentially save more with better pushes, maybe 5 seconds at the max. Do not worry about the "Ready?" dialogue being skipped as is doesnt matter. (btw no need to cover like I did in the push video xd)

You can do a dialogue skip before leaving the bunker island and still get the early Damien dialogue at the right time, but you do need a good drive to save as much time as the left comparison.

Using multiple bombs during By Any Means Necessary (A3M6) on the roof top is actually faster. You can save some IEDs by using the GL for the dialogues skips or use grenades, you can help yourself with the focus for the dialogue skips too. You also save an extra IED by using the GL on one of the spawns of the first enemies. The setup consists of throwing 4 IEDs (one proxy and 3 normal IED) to deal huge amount of damage to Iraq's guard, Iraq spawn afterwards after the guard took a lot of damage and at this moment, there is: either seperate spawns for the guard and Iraq or they both spawn at the same place. Seperate spawns is faster. Made another video on how to save IEDs with the GL or grenades.

saves 5 seconds if you kill the guard fast enough.

This compares the highway jump route, old driving route, and the new one. The drive for the new regular route could have also been a bit faster. I used the no vehicles mod for this.

By throwing a grenade (after hacking the code from the first guy), you don't have to stop to shoot anyone. The non-grenade/shooting strat can be a bit faster here, but the grenade strat should still be faster and more consistent.

This shows the setup for the dialogue skip on the elevator and compares dialogue skip vs no dialogue skip during Hold the Line.

A tiny improvement in A2M2 - Breakable Things, before doing the grenade strat, you can hack the forklift. It will save you 1 second atleast if done well.

thanks to Iantotallrecal for showing me that you can climb the lift without having it all the way down

New strat for Bad Blood Fading Signals - A1M2, after accepting the mission, there is a small window (not frame perfect) where you can enter your car (just spam enter key 5head), now you have to blindly drive to the mission area with the enemies, driving over there is 10-15 seconds faster for console. For PC, drive until you get the autosave then reload, it will be a second timesave though. credits to pekitosu for accidently finding this strat.

Reworked this strat and redid the video for better framerate and quality.

This strat is 99% consistent if after killing the fixer in A2M1, you toggle the focus before teleporting (just like in A2M11 for the main campaign). You should have enough time to warp away with digital trips.

Once you spawn, you can either have a performance/sport car or nothing. When you get nothing, running to the mission marker is faster. (another video is linked comparing other solutions to running : )

Both videos (in the first comparison) had a choke at the end, but the approximation of the time saved should be around 14 seconds as shown in the video.

New movement tech to sprint faster in Watch_Dogs. (and maybe for other Watch_Dogs games)

It consistent of holding the sprint button, stop holding then immediately hold it again and repeat it to conserve an extreme amount of speed.

It work best without any carried weapons, one-handed guns are the worst for it.

Also, in the making of this, running without any carried guns is best for top speed, and with this new boost, you will zoom like a beast.

To replicate it, please watch the last link/video and ask questions if you didn't understand anything.

Big thanks to Chips FR and LoxiiH (my 2 pookies) for showing me this new tech. The orignal founder of this tech is unknown.

Some extra videos if you are in a restricted area, from comparison, it is best to simply run normally in restricted areas. If you get detected, the forced crouching is canceled and you can start run boosting like normal.
