I Think Air Raid is one of those missions where if you dupe it, it sets your max wanted level to 0¤ until verdant meadows or something (look at mew's video in the end) so it would be harder to get a good vehicle after Jizzy for t-bone dupe. Maybe do it after mountain cloud boys? Or maybe it's best to dupe a home in the hills and not get the minigun at all? I don't think rtls without minigun would lose THAT much time if you do it correctly

BB only gives 1 free deathwarp, if you enter BB twice it doesn't mean you're going to get 2. Doing the glitch mew25 posted could speed up some missions (toreno's last flight, don peyote,ice cold killa, amphibous assault, make meat business safer therefore you could do it a bit faster, etc.) also we only grab like 2k now. Also Outrider could be REALLY fast with the minigun and you would be guaranteed to lose no time during snail trail (we could do 555 semi-skip maybe?)

2013 los desperados is back (if you do man strats and skip g4l that is). HYPE- And now we do the drive twice. A good back up strat i found for when the homies jump out is disband the gang and recruit them again, it fixes their AI. Also driving on train tracks to avoid explosions doesn't seem to prevent them from jumping out. Edit: you should also kill the homies to prevent them from killing the last dude

haha you ok bro? you feeling cool? i'm not the one who made the thread, i never made you look for workarounds to the problem, patrick. And i never exaggerated about it since with the PBs we all have it makes no difference whether we do this or not :D how about we get times that are actually even close to optimal first then come back to this topic? sounds good to me.

akward akward akward better strat: find a version that doesn't have caps lock getting released on mission pass bs also holding shift. what are you supposed to jump with then, ctrl WutFace ? my TAB doesn't work either. RIP >(

something i found yesterday, never saw anyone do this. Can probably be done with verdant meadows and Ran Fa Li too? DUPING THING ONLY. If you park the bike in the right spot you can get on it before game teleports you back so when you teleport back you're on the bike. saves like 3s

here's another 2s timesave ResidentSleeper spam skip cutscene + jump ,game gives control for like half a second just before you receive the call. works for green sabre too but doesn't save any time on that also there was some other things i wanted to mention but forgot. FACK SMOrc

purpose of post was mainly about reasoning behind sweet's girl bike being late because of different actions towards police, can you clarify that @Patrick?

MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE AT ALL but this is just based off my experience while running this game + some people know this i bet but lots of people don't

since the game has some kind of point system as far as stars go, let's say 2 stars has forms (light,medium,heavy) Killing,stealing etc all give different ammount of "points" so you have to do specific actions to get a police bike, if you go over the limit of "points" you will get police cars spawning instead of bikes. some combinations i've noticed that get police bikes ("light" 2 star level) 1.shoot cop car + kill cop (that's what you have to do in sweet's girl for insta cop bike after mission pick up) 2.run over pedestrian, then run over cop 3. few others i can't remember combinations that get police cars and VERY rarely police bikes(medium+heavy 2 star level) 1.Killing 2 cops (if you do this police bike will be very likely to be "late" in sweet's girl strat) 2.killing 2 cops +pedestrian 3.shooting cop car + killing 2 cops

there probably is a way to get police bike for t-bone dupe after jizzy everytime (something like kill limo driver + rocket 2nd car so you get "light" star level, or is the 2 stars after mission passed fixed? ) but i don't care enough to find out so if someone wants to do that go ahead! does this knowledge increase ykbb p bike consistency? fuck no, my strats are still shit and boat strats are faster anyway KappaClaus

Correct me if you think i'm wrong, guys.

I've investigated this before and in the end it just comes down to the game being a shit and letting go of your caps button as the mission passes. If it's a version thing then great, i'd like to know what version gives caps lock consistency for that easy time save. This has never happened to me when i held shift, but shift is a crap button to hold. I play on Retail 1.0

Everyone else who runs this game plays at 25 fps (except for the 26 fps scrubs that play on steam, of course Kappa ) so why can't you? Try harder.

isn't necessarily faster if you get a PCJ on the road or something, so up to you if you want to take your chances, also you need a star for this (drive-by shoot a police vehicle/officer on the way) or just depend on luck to not get a call. All you have to do is press F after you trigger outrider.

For deco you can keep your vehicle by putting the toilet in the hole first then bringing the cement truck over. (2 vehicles in memory, so your vehicle you had b4 deco stays as opposed to the other strat , getting in dozer -> getting in cement truck -> getting in cement truck again 3 vehicles cause despawn) putting toilet in hole first barely loses anything, if it's even slower and if you got a fast vehicle after 555 like a PCJ or something it's definetly worth.

After you finish management issues, if there is a bike in the parking slot take it and park it, then answer the call and enter house party cutscene. this saves a few seconds since entering house party cutscene refreshes the call waiting time, if you have a bike you can get to burning desire marker fast enough and only answer 1 call without losing time.

Faster los santos route if you're fast enough: Grey imports > Los sepulcros (9-17) -> home invasion -> then the usual. this saves a few sec because you have to run less, if you're too slow you will probably get rain on los sepulcros or you might not since weather seems to be RNG. I have not got rain on los sepulcros yet,though.

In drive-thru if you have a micro smg you can use it to kill the balla after he's out of the car, gives the mission more consistency if you do it right.

if you have an NRG going into toreno's last flight, park it near the FCR then go and trigger the cutscene, since you have to wait anyway otherwise softlock this will basically lose no time and you can still use the NRG for YKBB which will be faster than FCR.

Nines And Aks cutscenes? You mean pause buffering to skip the dialogue that is in between the shooting bottles part,you can also do that in tanker commander,photo opp,some zero mission iirc, home in the hills,some other mission. All you have to do is hold down Esc and pray for the best (personally for me it's very inconsistent and usually ends up doing more bad than good, by that i mean it usually makes me lose my mouse and i have to pause and unpause a million times to get it back and who doesn't love that issue?)

random stuff: highjack: going through the LV bridge is not as hard as patrick may make it out to be, using the more zoomed in camera made it slightly easier for me to get through. Getting past the earlier bridges though is too hard and too risky.

Toreno's last flight : I cannot seem to store the super heli in the doherty garage just by staying in the heli, i can only do it by getting out and pushing it into the garage, seems twice as harder and annoying than mike toreno heli strats, patrick if you can provide a video with s keys showing how you store it. Do note this: my flying skills are pretty poor.

Doing madd dogg (This mission enables cop cars and traffic again)just before smb seems the best option to me for now,even though it is probably not the optimal route. The less cops there is though = the more consistent 4¤ LV can be.

You've had your chips (would be useless anyway,probably)and BP both have points where max wanted level is set to 0. You've had your chips does it when the message pops up when you're close to the factory, BP does it when you grab the jetpack. I tried messing around with both and tried doing something similar to outrider but i could not find anything, feel free to test those 2,though.

Damn it. Ok, this was a semi-fail, this would allow us to dupe Highjack And Verdant meadows,though? More timesave towards 4¤ LV, i just keep making thing worse for any%, maybe i should stop looking for things Keepo Maybe this has some use for 100% though, not sure :D

HYPE or fail post: start outrider the 2nd time like i do so the first instance insta fails -> The game is now in a state where you cannot get stars, you now can go to LV without getting 4 stars Kreygasm

someone go ahead and confirm that this does not cause complications later on, all i did was complete monster and fly around LV (no time to playthrough lv + rtls and nothing comes to mind that can cause issues) We can now safely dupe Toreno's last flight without 4 star bullshit.

Here's how i do it. Here's how the cutscene ends for me. Your issue could be not moving the monster from the first instance out of the way before starting monster the second time. I doubt it though.

i did this 3 times so far and i was able to pass both everytime. Interdiction started just fine.

Good job mew, now make explosive situation dupe consistent Kappa Is there anyway to get rid of the black square that stays on your screen after you pass monster duped? It is slightly annoying :p

you would still get police which is the main issue.
