the same thing used for shakedown, saves a lot more than you'd think (sprint + crouch)

Sweden

faster gate zip?

That's sick, but probably not consistent

Wouldn't save time unless your drive is slow unfortunately, and also loses swag points in comparison to the lighnat0r zip

still cool though

Just crouch + swap to sg after you blow up the barrel

Start sprinting (W+Shift) right after the cutscene ends. It seems to be random, sometimes Tommy stumbles and sometimes he sprints immediately. Probably works on more cutscenes, but didn't test yet.

The chase without popped tires / mission fails via friendly fire Should be about the same in terms of time

More consistent Four Iron snipe. You can aim pretty much towards the same spot as usual, it's a bit harder to see the aiming reference from where I stood in the vid but you can position yourself a bit more to the right as well and it'll look the same as from the "usual" spot. You don't need to aim from a specific spot, so you can just ballpark your standing position a bit. Also it might take two shots to kill him, apparently

Consistent/fast mall RPG rampage, I don't kill dudes near the start because post-Shakedown cops

New movement in Pole Position, saves up to 4s in total (credits to Marushko). It's full in case u wanna compare.

small timesave after ctc, variation of an idea marushko had

shoot the bike before CtC mission fade so that the fade extinguishes it at low hp (before the call ends) scratch it up against the wall as in vid shoot it once with m4 after killing 2nd collectors scratch it up against the wall after last collectors run to savewarp zone

if you want pepega kyfc go buy chainsaw from toolstore before sonny spawns

@username1826 killing him with the car is still pretty fast, just gotta beware of dives

Estonia

if you dont do pkyfc then you really should not be doing this strat, 3s risky vs ~8-10s risky

better driving route to hospital/ammu after tbd duping is finished, saves 2-3s compared to driving through hyman for hospital or the old back route (or even more if you do it better)

shortcut to race 1 with PCJ, saves 5-6s compared to taking the road the whole way. similar tier to the ractrot stadiumjump but I think you could make this a bit more consistent, though you could also get ultraboned and be on the other side of the fence from the pcj
