New OG Loc strats (maybe?)
9 years ago
Germany

Hey guys i am new around here and not really speedrunning this game but i found something that might be useful:

After you shoot Freddys bike during the chase and it catches fire immediately stop, get off your bike and run away from it (about 10m should be enough) before the cutscene starts. As long as neither CJ or OG Loc are to close to the bike it should not despawn after the cutscene and you can use it for the long drive back to Burger Shoot.

I am not 100% sure if it works as i have quite a lot of Mods installed here but they should not affect the bike despwan (i think).

Its only a PCJ but still better than getting a random car in that part of the city and you can use it for Life`s a Beach as well so it may be worth a try.

I've tried to replicate this but with no luck. I've heard something similar to this before (i.e., keeping the bike after the cutscene) but I've never experienced this phenomenon myself.

After countless attempts I got rid of OGLoc to make sure I was >10m away but still no luck.

If this was to be a worthwhile strat then you must keep the bike for Life's a Beach. As I remember, all vehicles despawn after triggering the mission (I've tried to keep the NRG-500 in the past).

So the reduced distance towards Burger shot because you have to get off the bike, plus slow bike riding because of a passenger (OG L O C) and the bike will despawn after the mission, I fail to see the timesave if it does indeed work

Did you try it multiple times? It didn't work for me. My attempts ("demo quality" : 1MB per file):

1 2 3

My version: some Europpean v2 18+ with v1 us cracked exe - also modded though. ^^

Edit: Yes, no point trying to park outside the despawn area: 0395: clear_area 0 at [burger shot] radius 100.0 (~50 CJ steps) at the start of the mission

Ok i testet it on a unmodded version and indeed it does not seem to work with it.

Apparently the cutscene takes place so far away that the game completely unloads the area you are in and reloads it again afterwards due to memory limitations. The reason why it worked for me was the Limit Adjuster Plugin that lets the game use more RAM than normally and keep both areas (and the bike) in memory all the time. So unfortunately it will not work for speedruns :(
