This is a thing that exists apparently.

Damn, nice, didn't knew you could do it like it, even though I tried. That's not really the same stuff though. You can't really do it everywhere (or you have to move the car) etc.

Oh, it's your video, nice!

Sweden

D-Walker can actually go pretty far and there are lots of small cliffs in a lot of areas. I think the success rate depends on how flat the truck is, where you're standing, and your altitude. I tried doing it in OKB Zero and you exfil really quickly.

I should mention that you also have air control so you can fly really far up then go ~80-100 meters horizontally, though most mountains in this game have invisible walls anyway.

France

Really intresting, but could you guys stop finding glitches ? ;..; that make me slap my head on the wall to think, and search viable setup in every single mission BibleThump

Joke appart, thanks a lot for hunting those thing guys, even if you happend to find something un usuable in runs, that's still good to know that it's possible.

Sooo if i got the score right that 3 points for Pewable 1 for Zefie.

Got to step up your game Zefie OneHand

@dekuking that would be pointless with good manipulation of AI you can 2 shots all the skull anyway (using the Honey Bee.) I timed the glitch, without the Drop of the car and the call of the Fulton drop. Just setting it up cost you around 27 secondes wich is a lot. i think that the waitting for the chopper, and lifting can be around 30 secondes at most

in MO 10 For exemple the lift off and exit HotZone of the chopper is only 20 secondes(Wich i assume to be the fastest of all), but given the distance you have to cover to get to the chopper it's faster to use the glitch in Perfect Stealth at least.

From my testing / Understanding, for the Skulls in MO6 you have to flee because that the trigger of the end mission(the one that allow you to Exfiltrate the hotzone) and the other trigger would be to kill the skull.

France

Ref for the manipulation on the skulls I got 5minutes wich is as good as it get, i was even walking in this run, as i wasn't going for any time and reading my chat, you can get an even better time on this one. I also happend to cancel the Phantom Cig a little bit too early wich made me wait for an extra 3 secondes. And then after this point setting up the glitch would be slower anyway. Fleeing would be longer than Fighting as well.

Switzerland

ahh mission 6 doesnt have the long flying away part when you extract with the chopper... so it doesnt take that long

i still think it could maybe be faster... the vehicle is placed right by the exit where the skull mist goes away... so while approaching you could call the box down right next to the vehicle, so all youd have to do is leave the mist and do the glitch... no skull fight and no chopper...

i tried testing this yesterday, but i couldnt get the horse clip to work... it there a trick to getting the horse clip consistently?

France

3:14 end of the cutscene & Start of the skull fight 3:19 fight agaisnt the skull end. I doubt you can exit the mist in less time than that ^^

4:01 mission end. Wich mean that you have 42 secondes of down time in my video, and i mess up the phantom cig if you dont Pequod happen to be right away on the ground wich is around 5 to 10 secondes lost.

You could try to do the glitch here after beating the skull but the set up of the glitch if you happend to call prior everything take around 27 secondes.

The time the car take to to exit the Hotzone is 10 secondes when you finish the glitch. Pequod take around 11 secondes to leave the hotzone.

For ILs it's possible maybe, to scrap a couple of secondes if you execute everything perfectly. In Full Game runs, messing 1 thing up not having the fulton box right beside the truck make you most likely waste time.

France

@Dekkuking, yeah practice it Kappa. joke apart, when you drop of D-Horse aim toward the wall that how i happend to get it most of the time.

By aiming i mean shoulder aiming

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

Also, the MGO patch didn't remove the horse clip or invisible vehicule glitch, so I think they didn't touch the solo at all.

Switzerland

sooo turn the camera into the wall? (or turn the camera to be looking "at" the wall?)

or do you mean holding right on the left stick or something?

France

What i do exactly on PC, i have the wall on my right.

I press E and quickly Press/spam the Aim button while turning my aiming toward the right.

France

Well Pewable break the ILs balance guys. Get ready for a shit storm. OneHand I won't go in the details to leave him the pleasure to show it to you. But yeah.. Get ready for his video. It's.. mind blowing 4Head

And please give that man a follow on youtube, for the amount of hours he put toward this game.

In case someone sees it before I upload it:

I will upload it tomorrow (midnight here at the moment), I need to go and want to explain what I do in the video so I can't just leave it in public (even though I will only have 20 views). Like bre3zeR said, it pretty much destroys everything, so you guys will probably ask for another category... And I will understand it perfectly.

Switzerland

post it! DOOOOO IT! JUST DO IT!

cmon man im curious :D

so apparently this is a thing... dunno if its usefull for peacenik (do you have to fulton the target to finish?) or if its even reproducable... but if it is, that a pretty nice time save for any%

France

@Dekkuking Yeah you got to secure the target and fulton him :/ Note that this is a 2 structs not a 4 structs as most people will do. that why the huge time save ^^

United States

If you're running a fresh game save, then it's always 1 platform. NG+ is 4 platforms. This guy is doing it on 2 platforms, so it can't be used in an any% run. You'd have to construct another R&D platform around mission 14-15 or so to be able to do it this way. But you don't pick up the materials to do that.

I'll load up a save file with one platform today and play around with it. See what I can find.

United States

Umm... so this happened. LOL

I only hit it twice out of maybe 20 attempts. So it's likely not that reliable for any% runs. But you lose nothing for trying it. I also found a back-up strat that ends the mission in about 30 seconds after landing if people want me to upload that. It's easy and consistent.

So yeah, assuming you've got the rocket launcher by this mission, it's really short/easy for any% runs.

Switzerland

whats the backup strat?
