it feels sort of strange to say it out
loud but over the last four years I have
spent over five thousand dollars
speedrunning GTA 5 he sits on his ass
all day smoking dope and jerking off
while he plays their [ __ ] game
needless to say I've learned a lot of
random stuff about this game in that
time and in this video I want to impart
some of that on to you some of the stuff
I'll present may seem sort of niche to
speedrunning but I don't want to tread
the same ground that every GTA 5 fact
video has I want to show you things that
you likely have never seen before I'll
start with something simple at any point
in the game where you can make a save
file you can use that save file to warp
yourself to your safe house simply load
into that save file and use a character
swap button that isn't the character
you're loading into I'm currently
loading into Michael so I'm gonna hold
down f6 which will be the character swap
button for Franklin just let go of the
button as you're loading in
I'm honestly not sure why this works but
it does work with every character
graphical glitches during these warps
are fairly common the game seems
confused as to where it's meant to put
you
I think most people agree that scouting
the port isn't really a great mission
having to move a bunch of random crates
why is this even in the game thankfully
if you really want to you can do
something that speeds it up by about 20
seconds if done correctly normally it is
impossible to move both of these crates
at the same time when you ram one into
the other you'll just drop the crates
you're currently holding but if you
restrict your FPS very low the physics
of the crates doesn't seem to work
so you can push the two crates as if
they were on ice I'll speed this up for
your convenience I'm obviously not very
good at this strap but it is kind of
neat
if my work here is done I'm going up the
gantry distance scanning has a very
useful effect for speedrunning look at
this street look at the cardboard boxes
the trash on the side the fire hydrant
at the end the in newspaper holders now
let me show you what this looks like
without distance scanning all that
garbage completely removed from the side
of the road which is very useful when
you want to cut corners or catch curbs
or whatever during the speed one as much
as I love low distance scanning I really
missed this trash pile it was so good to
use it to start the mission shop simply
marvelous that effect going into trouble
course isn't unique there are many
different oddities with mission markers
and waypoints in this game when you play
this game you quickly come to realize
that some mission markers are much
larger than they actually initially
appear to be take this one for example
at one of the assassination missions in
a hundred percent of course we have to
loot a store and always you get the cops
on your very inconvenient and you don't
want to spend the time to have to run
out into the mission or run out and lose
the cops somewhere so you just go into
this fan here and it starts the mission
you wouldn't think that looking at the
yellow dot outside bits you can just go
straight through this wall now that is
quite a distance it's not even close
another mission marker that's larger
than it probably should be is the one on
this water tower during nervous run
obviously one speed running the game you
use your ATV to skip climbing up the
first ladder
now under normal circumstances this
doesn't get you all the way to the top
it did for me once though he's not evil
he's not necessarily good he's just a
guy who takes his job quite seriously oh
my god some mission markers are frankly
just bad at what they're meant to do
take the beginning of the mission
pac-man for example the yellow dot is
meant to stop you removing all of your
speed so you can get the phone call from
Lamar
however if when you hit the yellow dot
any of your wheels are in the air with a
bike or car it will not stop you some of
the skips that we utilize throughout the
run are actually pretty interesting
here for example Martin Madrazo is meant
to send two black fans full of guys to
come kill you those of course would take
time to kill so we drive in a very
particular way and for whatever reason
through this route they don't spawn
get me an hey thanks for the help out
there today don't so for the last time
move it doing the drill store highest
you would probably think that you had to
go underground to escape the cops but
that's not actually true all you have to
do is just stay within a certain range
of your crew so that you don't lose them
given that relative freedom we've
constructed our own routes that abuses
rubber-banding to get through this
section a lot quicker rubber banding is
an effect that you've probably seen in
many different video games where an NPC
is meant to be a certain distance from
you either behind or forward and if it
falls out of that range the game will
massively increase the NPC's speed so
that it can get to that point again the
so called Lemar boost at the beginning
of Franklin and Lamar is probably the
best example of rubber-banding
Lamarr is meant to be in front of us so
the game increases his speed massively
to get him there we balance on his nose
to utilize his increased speed to make
us go faster probably the most useful
boost throughout the run is brake
boosting with and without Franklin's
power this is what a non powered brake
booster looks like currently I'm at 154
km/h I'm going over a small bump so my
two front tires are gonna land before my
back two tires I have my brakes set to
mouse button for and I'm going to
squeeze it and then let go before I land
the skid marks on the ground showed that
I brake boosted I'm currently a 151 and
within a few moments I'm peaking at 169
what's more interesting however is the
powered brake boosts watch the
speedometer here as I chuck in some of
Franklin's ability while performing a
brake boost
of course takes practice but you can get
insane speed using powered brake boosts
in single player of course controlling
yourself at that speed is somewhat
difficult I originally intended for this
video to be longer but if it does well
I'll just make a part 2 I hope you all
doing well
