(FASTER STRAT IN THIRD POST)

Feurigerilias brought this to our attention. I tested many different ways using this water strat to my advantage and this one was the fastest by a few seconds. Turning around while still in the ankle deep water, near the stairs, and shooting him can make this a little bit faster. You may also be able to get off a shot on him from the railing. Either way, try to jump into the water at the spot I did. If you jump any further to the right, you risk him not jumping in the water at all and instead he'll run down to the shallow part, where he can stand. He may also jump into the water and swim to that spot if he's too close when he hits the water. The reason I passed the mission is because he eventually dies in the water, not because I got too far away, but because he'll just eventually die if he continues to swim. I may have been able to just get into the taxi and travel to a marked spot before he dies, and still passed the mission. I'll have to try this. Post your ideas and proven enhancements in the thread.

A faster strat would involve getting him to jump into the water without falling in yourself. You could also try to get him to climb onto a car, parked next to the railing, and push him into the water from there, shooting him from on the car. (I tried this a couple times, but he wouldn't climb onto the car.)

My route back to the taxi isn't the best in the video (had I not had to wait), climbing up the hill would be faster, I think.

Jumping into the water, with him following closely behind, and swimming out to the barge to snipe him seems like a good idea. You'd just video warp, right? Yes, but if you end up in Bohan, a perfect taxi at the intersection to the right will actually take longer than what you see in the video. (I tried this.)

Triggering him and running left, luring him down to some metal stairs leading into the water may also seem like a good idea, but I tried this and found it to be a little bit slower.

A faster strat.

I always time these from the moment I hit the marker (during the mission) to the moment I touch the taxi (after the mission has been passed).

Compared to the old strat, which relied on cop RNG, this is about 10-15 seconds faster.

Nice one. I tried multiple things and my first thought was ramming him with a car into the water. That of course is unreliable. That you can aggro him without him running away as long as you don't injure him is obviously better. Another small thing is that you can get get rid of the bike in no way then the subway and change it for a decent car before entering the subway. It doesnt save time. (timings were the same with a decent car swap compared to driving the Angel all the way) but after the mission ended an actual car is obviously better for classic%. Death Warping there also doesnt make any sense because getting to the street into a cab on any% is really fast.

I remember many years ago viewing the beginning of a highlighted run which started just as the previous attempt was coming to a semi-disastrous close. Sometimes a VOD like this was accompanied by a remark signaling frustration or lost hope which, I suppose, the runner felt was a bit of amusing juxta
