Misappropriation: The only path to "dossier destroyed in the explosion" is that the guy who picked up the dossier despawns.¤

You killed two people in pretty much the same spot. Afterwards, there is only one corpse there. My untested guess is that the game just de-spawned the second guard with the dossier since there was already a corpse lying around there.

After the first mission pass, the guards like to despawn. Probably they are treated like normal peds? So keep them in your view, don't go too far away.

If you don't aim at the guard with the dossier, he will not shoot you, so I'd kill everyone except him, then kill him standing right next to him.

¤ for technical people who might correct me. 056D: actor 80@(91@,10i) defined // FALSE -> mission failed 0085: 91@ = 49@ // (int) is very near the line "You were too slow. One of the guards has grabbed the stuff."

Jizzy: You took the call in the pre-mission cutscene (the one where CJ walks towards the building, then it fades, then the intro cs starts). That made CJ stop, so he stayed inside the marker.

Thanks! Also I need to mention this : after i failed the missapropriation dupe a few times, i did it this way : I think that you can kill the guard that has the stuff immediately, wait for the call, hold it and pick up the dossier. Don't know if this is consistent, i did it 2 times and i haven't failed it (yet).

I had him despawn right in front of my eyes, though. ^^ I never killed him earlier than necessary, since. But actually, I am not certain if that was before 0 star strats... Back then I used a Catalina call (the main purpose was not skipping High Noon but duping Misappropriation, Flight School and Black Project with one om0 setup).

Anyways, you had one person vanish 2s or so after killing him, so you really should collect the dossier asap. :D

Yeah

If your tire gets popped by t-bone in pier 69 when you're trying to hold a call through it, run is probably dead. Have fun with that :D

You get off the bike, wait for the call, cancel it, kill him, sit through the cutscene.

Implying that you can run away from very accurate triads with t-bone shooting an AK at you NRG also despawns if you're not on it when you kill t-bone, losing more than a minute hype? Losing a minute sounds like a dead run to me....

Feels fine to me, using both the bike and a - no clue how those things are called :D the cover nearby - as cover. You can avoid the despawn like at the start of Doberman/Outrider.

It is still worth doing though if you get your tire popped I Golded TLF by 1:40 which is just ridiculous and the NRG challenge thing only costs like what, 15s? Kinda a strat you have to do Edit: Actually, if anyone wants me to i can upload a video on how to do the NRG challenge thing optimally, if anyone wants me to? Let me know, i do thinks it's pretty straight forward,though.

Outrider: Incaaaaaaaase you were wondering, you need all the AK ammo you can get, so you need to make sure you grab the AK ammo from the guys up top in the 2nd wave aswell as 3rd. Kill them last since the AK despawns if you take too long to get it. snail trail: Taxi can come from 2 different ways. I think the swimming days one is slightly faster. Looking at the way the taxi spawns prevents it from spawning, i think. There's also a bribe star nearby, no pic but if you google it you should be able to see it, grab that after you got the police vehicle so that you don't have to hold a call all the way through the mission (Resting your pinky for the 5 minute long part is a good idea,i think :D ) I also wonder why the taxi driver sometimes gets pissed off after the 1st red light, but sometimes after the 3rd? something to do with traffic in his way is my bet, but could just be RNG. Depending on how fast he gets pissed you can lose like 50 seconds due to chill driver. Maybe there is a way to piss him off consistently,though? I can't remember anyone having a strat for that

You can pick up the chainsaw from near the second road block in Outrider; it is useful for Stowaway. There's also a satchel pickup in SF, I never looked for it, though (it is hard to find for me and I forgot its exact location). Maybe it makes sense to pick it up in that mission as well.

bribes Satchels

What is the backup strat for no cop vehicle during snail trail? or even one after it?

If you don't get a cop spawn for a while, you get two stars in Snail Trail, get the cop car and complete the mission.

Christian from SDA made a scripted cop spawns map from main.scm code I copied. http://m.imgur.com/9pFtzrr Red = triggers, green/yellow = spawns At least one is usable. They are all cop cars, though.

The last resort if you don't have one after Snail Trail is getting two stars, driving to the Pay'n'Spray at the beach, killing the cop(s) inside the cop vehicle and then spraying, I guess. I did not see good bribes nearby.

Maybe the wanted level vanishes fast enough that you can just steal a cop vehicle from traffic and do the strat as normal - maybe it vanishes in the 1min after getting out. If it does not vanish, you get into the plane without a call and get another om0 call (=restart the run :D).

Remember to despawn cars like crazy dueing Snail Trail. Also, you can "lose" the reporter for 15s or so until it fails, so if you stay close to him, any cop vehicle should be stealable.

I forgot to pick up AK during Outrider in two runs by now FailFish BibleThump. Don't be an idiot like me, guys. :D You cannot buy it at that point so you need to get one from a spawn in LS. http://en.m.wikigta.org/wiki/AK_47_locations_(GTA_San_Andreas) Or you use the RPG - you cannot hold the call then, though.

This game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo troll - everytime i don't get a cop bike/car while waiting for the reporter, the taxi driver becomes an angry driver after the 1st light so i can't even pickup a cop vehicle if i see one. Honestly, Just reset. Or if you get a cop vehicle doesn't matter - you'll just have your tire popped in pier 69 or madd dogg will die :D

Always something in this game, ALWAYS :D

Is holding the call through outrider and Snail trail not CAPS LOCK safe? Just lost a run because the phonecall let go of itself in BOTH of the end parts of the mission.

I've done both missions like 10 times now with caps,call never let go. It could be one of these things: 1.If you're still using the old autosplitter that could be releasing your buttons at the end of missions(Like it does in Nines And Aks) 2.Your own keyboard 3. Version thing? 4. (last resort) You're not skipping last outrider cutscene with mouse and snail trail lets go because you're in a vehicle at the end?

Could be the autosplitter actually, but then that should be consistent. I'll look more into it in the future. #fuckduping

Maybe you could hold a call through monster, then get a police rancher and activate vigilante, answer highjack call (if Zero doesn't take priority) and dupe it that way

How did you do that swag jump on 37:36 , I've tried 1000 times but I always fall off the bike. Also, if you crash into the wall while doing it and fall over, is it gg? Because I think there's no way to go back to the bike

if u fall from that height most of the time u wont die, unless u have little health. u can also get to the other island using that same bridge but driving on the wall, it's a lot more precise and probably a bit slower but thats a backup if u suck at that normal jump
