More Strats too risky for the GTA V Speedrun

My recent strat-update video only covered whats actually being used of the recent discoveries for the GTAV Speedrun - some of them are too dangerous to use in the run. A "strat" is shorthand for strategy, like a specific route or action we take within the speedrun.

Some of these strats are new, and some have been known for a long time, like the Shootout with Franklin in Paleto Score, but we haven't needed to push hard to try them yet. Now that the speedrun is getting more optimized (meaning that the times are getting closer and closer together as people max out the game), all the little strats really add up. 2 seconds here 3 seconds there seems small for a 6 hour run, but this video alone has almost a minute and a half of strats - it adds up.

The first Risky strat video was really fun, and I see no exception with this one. Cool finds, some of which require some heads-up gameplay. I go into the "decision making" topic a bit during the Pulling Favours strat. I hope to find both more "lucky strats" to cover, as well as possibly some videos covering the idea of "decisions you need to make during speedruns"... hmm...

Huge thanks to Dark and Masaboy for all their silly ideas.

Me, never planning to speed run this game ever: neat

[RaptorSucc]

"Mission failed, Franklin died"

*Yeah I think getting rammed by a truck going mach 2 would do the trick*

[omegs]

"I got a while on played this game"

*12 THOUSAND HOURS*

[dusanpavlovic]

This man spent almost 2 years on this game.

[Jamy-dckk]

So, no one mentions the fact that he played GTA 5 For more than a Year of his life?
12.699 Hours is 525 Days

Wade breaking his back at 5:22 is the funniest thing I've ever seen

Baron: “I regret making the starts too risky for the speedrun video because people always come in stream and ask me to do the risky strats”

I love how the community shares their findings to help everyone, and not keeping it hidden and only using it yourself

[tbias]

Haven't played GTA V for 2 years, and yet this is one of my favourite series at the moment!

[TheRealGamer]

If they did every strat, we may actually get a speed run under 6 hours.

[Masaboy]

Hey that's cool and thanks for sharing our team channel :D

[onebraincell-qf]

now I wanna see a GTAV "stuntrun"

[JamesthePizzaMan]

If FriendlyBaron has spent 12699 hours in GTAV and we assume he will live to be about 80 years old, if he were to quit playing right now, he would have spent nearly 2% of his life playing this game.

Me: sleeping

Sees friendly baron notification.

Ah shit here we go again

[ZoMTDU]

Baron: I have a Fair bit of time in this game
*shows 13k hours for GTA 5*

I think I found another speedrun tactic. During the mission "Chop", when you have to let D out, drive to and stop at the BJ Smith Rec Center, that way, when D leaves the van, you drop Lamar off there right away.

[estehbread]

For the motorcycle ones, remember there's an air cancel glitch that you can use to your advantage by making the character standing upright before hitting the mission cue

[axdn]

I used to do stunting like 2 years ago on custom maps, and the gliding even being considered as an option in the story mode speedrun is insane lmao
