I'll be working on a guide explaining the entire thing soon enough, I've told myself to hopefully get it done by next month but we'll see about that lol.
For spawn blocking, there's really only the merryweather, and velum spawns to block. Other than that it's not really worth doing especially if you're still learning the heist, blocking every single other thing is a big waste of time.
Menu clicking is all keybinds, so for example opening your phone and interaction menu I'd suggest binding it to a key you can easily reach without moving your fingers from the rest postion too much.
Unfortunately I think if I explain more in words it'll be even more confusing so I'll hopefully get that video out soon but I still have exams for uni🗿 so I'll see how it goes.
For plasma cutter/security code and fingerprint cloner, they have set spawns. So if you know them I don't really see a need for dingy spawning besides blocking off the absolute worse ones.
The ones I'd really block is the two terrible contruction spawns for the torch and the Penris building for weapons (Obviously block Merryweather).
But besides that I leave everything else to rng and just deal with it if it gives me the less desireable one, though if you block the spawns mentioned. The "less desireable spawns" should still be good.
@madebyWITT Yeah I was just reading the rules again and noticed the disconnect rule, though I forget if there was some controversy with R* banning people or something (maybe that was just on console). Though it's probably my memory being hazy if it's fine to disconnect to skip the cooldown.
[SOLVED]
"We will also adjust specific aspects of The Cayo Perico Heist Finale to better balance a player’s time spent in GTA Online. Solo playthroughs of The Cayo Perico Heist Finale will trigger a cooldown of 3 in-game days."
This could be annoying to speedrunners, though they mention that SOLO PLAYTHROUGHS will trigger the 2.5 hour cooldown, so maybe you can avoid it by having someone join and then back out once you're in the finale. Nonetheless this will be annoying to solo runners unless there's a way to bypass the cooldown
[Update] Thank you WITT for bringing up the dc mission replay glitch, been doing it ever since I read that it's legal and still haven't been banned.
