The Long Stretch skip theory.

Alright, so I got Long Stretch for the second time today, and I think I've finally figured out what causes it.

I believe that getting this skip is all determined on whether Lamar is right behind you or next to you or not.

He was pretty far behind due to just how quick I was running through dudes, so if you can do it quickly, then it's probably possible to get the skip each time.

Also, you CANNOT mission fail at any point during this, otherwise the entire skip is done for. So keep an eye on your health.

Could some other people try to run through this as quickly as possible and see what happens?

alright but i am not fast enough in that mission :D, but gonna try to test that out

Toriks: You can run in and trigger the spawns faster, like I did for the second-to-last room before the big warehouse shootout.

You just said it was with fast shooting, you said nothing about Lamar.

OK, well I tried this myself, and all of the two times I got through without dying, I still got the police on me. Either it's not consistent, it's patched in whatever patch I'm using, or I'm not fast enough. I'm on whatever the patch was BEFORE the online heists came out.

It makes sense to be honest, the game places NPCs within the set zone. If you go ahead of the script the game is bound to get confused and forget to set...a few variables. I'll "look into it" if you know what I mean.

so to get the skip you have to see the "wait for lamar and stretch" when you go through that door?

Or it can be a sequence of enenmies that triggers, maybe its a glitch that sometiems happens, Can ryedawg do it consistantly? seems like nobody else has done it.

Have been trying for two hours and couple times i entered the room with wait for lamar text and still got 3 stars, i felt it was fast enough. Oh well gonna keep trying and testing. No luck for me today.
