hello everyone and welcome to episode 5
of my FAQ series where I tell you things
that I've learnt about GTA 5 in the 50
500 hours that I've been speedrunning
the game by the way the pinned comment
for this video will contain within as a
giveaway where you can challenge me to
any game that you want and if you win
you'll get a hundred USD with that now
out of the way let's begin there is some
interesting effects that you can see on
the mission blitz play when you try to
open the van
first off while in the tow truck you are
immune to explosions secondly on a
particular black dot it is possible 34
through the bottom of the van and
explode the door that way perhaps most
interestingly it is possible to blow
open the doors without triggering the
cutscene making it look like the van is
empty
[Music]
there are a handful of ladders in the
game that assures enough that you can
jump up them instead of climbing them
this can have the side effect of weird
camera angles
one of the greatest things about this
series is that it has given me more
reason to test things between the
different patches initially I wanted to
say you can jump off this balcony and
survive only if you jump off in first
person however it turns out that
Rockstar has changed something while on
the earlier patches you can survive in
first person falling off on the newer
patch you cannot the normal process to
get a taxi to come to you is to bring up
the call on your phone listen to the
dial and then skip through the
conversation this process takes about
seven seconds
doing a quick cab
skips this process at the end of a
mission when a cutscene ends you have a
small window where you can call a taxi
before the mission past screen comes up
which forces you to put down your phone
despite not hearing a second of the dial
tone the taxi will still come no time
angling my camera here specifically to
control where the taxi spawns as boring
as taxis are they are loyal in some
respects if you call a taxi and then go
to sleep the taxi will be there when you
wake up you can both call a taxi go to
sleep wake up and the tax will be there
or you can even let the taxi arrived go
to sleep and the taxi will stay there
for the hours necessary for you to sleep
while oddly harder to do on the newest
patch there is a way to skip the weight
of the bank on surveying the score we
get a view of the back from there
it turns out the trigger for the
waypoint and the trigger to lock you in
place are different sizes so if you
drive to the side of the Waypoint twice
it'll activate the Waypoint without
locking you in place it might actually
surprise you which of the five bikes on
daddy's little girl is fastest there are
three bikes we're holding down the
equivalent of the handbrake button makes
you go the fastest you can possibly go
the fastest of these bikes therefore is
the fifth bike at 75 km/h the other two
bikes do bunny hops when you press the
same button these bunny hops are Nabal
you to get up to massive speeds but
unfortunately it decreases the control
over your bike so the best standard bike
very quickly reaches its top speed of 75
km/h and has perfect control over its
trajectory the best bunnyhop bike takes
a long time to get up to its top speed
which fluctuates between 75 and 90 km/h
it also does not have great control over
its trajectory so you sometimes move in
directions you don't want to move or
have to move around pedestrians which
loses you a lot of speed so basically if
you did ten runs were you used each of
the bikes the bunnyhop bike would have
the fastest time but the standard bike
would have probably a higher average
time on pulling favors if you blocked
Anya's door and then get into the tow
truck Tania will politely ask you to get
out of the vehicle

whatever you whatever you say girl come
on hey Molly I'm outside the studio
all right go over the wall and find the
car on the locked rocks that was not
well known for allowing you to have many
different options when it comes to
completing missions however for a
handful of missions the game just seems
to allow you to skip everything if you
really want to take deep inside for
example it's meant to be somewhat of a
stealth mission you get a new outfit and
your stealth your way to get into the
vehicle but you don't need to do that of
course you can just smash your way in
and take it within a couple of seconds
that guy he's curry he's a crazy
[ __ ] is that security
with the respawn point being so close to
the end Giriraj you basically skip the
entire mission although I imagine
Rockstar didn't intend for the respawn
point to be abused in this way another
example of rockstars simply allowing you
to skip everything is architect plans
most people would do this as a stealth
mission where you follow the architect
and eventually steal his plans in a
stealthy manner but instead you can just
kill him immediately take the plans and
spray-paint your car and you're done
here you're going to see me
embarrassingly tries to leave the
mechanics and fail multiple times the
reason for this is the prompts are you
sure you want to leave los santos
customs dozens exist on patch 1.07 we of
course normally do spam escape to leave
but on the newer patches of course you
have to press enter as well
Gregg hey if you don't spray-paint your
car and thus keep the cops on you it is
sometimes possible to still go to the
end of the mission and meet Michael and
Nestor before the cutscene plays as you
can see prior to the cutscene Michael
enjoys his invisible phone and Lester is
doing stuff on his laptop kind of I
guess I guess Rockstar wasn't really
concerned what the NPCs look like if you
don't activate the final Waypoint and
instead just go to the end of the
mission this is just really really sad
and awkward that's it for this week guys
I'll leave you with a few clips of some
oddities that I experienced testing a
new strat on friend requests
[Music]
what why though am I gonna live oh
what's that doesn't make any sense
