Table Of Contents

todo rerun Table-Of-Contents generator :)

Read first

  • I made this for hundo -> the version is international ("intl"), not Japanese ("JP")
  • I followed the order of Caster's route
  • I tried hard to consistently mark things with "todo" and "help" (using those words for ez CTRL-f)

Basics

om0 starting side-missions

It works with save points and rampages. 0) Get rampage/save replay.

  1. Start holding sub-mission button.
  2. Play rampage/save replay.
  3. As soon as the rampage starts/the save teleport happened, release the button.
    • if you want to use Taxi Driver to instapass a mission and you use a save-point, then you need to start holding sub-mission again after releasing it
      • be quick, as soon as om = 0, it is too late
      • now you can leave the taxi, keeping the mission going

om1 death

  • Dying with om1 fails the one most recently started mission.
  • ways to reach om1
    • call
      • if you drown(help are there more cases?), you have to hold the call, else it is cancelled before you die
    • rampage

Jury Fury

  • Dupe&Pass
  • If you dupe with the rampage timer running out in the cutscene of the guy being run over, you need to have 3, 5, or 7 seconds left on the rampage timer as you stand inside the mission start trigger for the first time.
  • In hundo, you do not need to care about anything, afaik, since you do not dupe it in the cutscene.

Road Kill

  • Dupe&Fail
  • not used by every route
  • skips the entire mission

How To

  • Kill yourself quickly: 2 choices?
    1. during the intro cutscene
      • You can use a clothes replay to kill yourself during the intro cutscene
        • help: is there anything else you need to know about this?**(can you fail the "trick"?)
    2. very quickly afterwards(does that work?)

Waste The Wife

  • Dupe&Fail
  • not used by every route
  • skips the part after the wife cutscene
    • Kill yourself then. help: is there anything else you need to know about this?

Pizza Boy

How to:

  1. Better save since you can lock yourself out of the instapass.
  2. Dupe Shakedown.
  3. Trigger "My Livelyhood. Destroyed!" first(!!!)
    • This freezes that mission audio.
    • After that, avoid phone ringing.
      • Reason: If you get one, then the mission audio counts as finished.
      • Methods:
        • Keep the call timer under 20 seconds so that the game does not "try" to give you a call.
        • These things block calls: wanted level "Get into car" objective - do that as you fire the last missile in that rampage.
  4. Start Pizza Boy.
    • One Pizza Boy instance gets stuck so you have to cancel it
  5. Start the RC Bandit Race.
    • You have to destroy the Bandits.

notes

  1. If you triggered a different Shakedown audio first, you seriously messed up, congrats. :D You need to fail both Shakedown instances(two om1 deaths) or reload your save.
    • I have not tested it, thoroughly, so you can just complete the mission and pray that it goes well.

Autocide

  • Dupe&Fail
  • not used by every route
  • skips the part after killing the guy on the boat
    • Kill yourself then.

Demolition Man

This forum post should be all you need.

Distribution

ez

  • Start it during "Two Bit Hit" after "Excellent! They've spotted you!".
    • Do not kill the target

#Trial By Dirt todo There is this forum post but there is also undocumented stuff, afaik.

Paramedic

This forum post should be all you need

Friendly Rivalry

  1. Dupe Bombs Away during the cutscene.
    • One instance gets stuck waiting for the cutscene to end. You use that for the instapass.
  2. Start Friendly Rivalry
    • Hold Jump + W + F as you're entering the taxi so that you
      • consistently start Friendly Rivalry
      • and avoid starting Cabmageddon(duped even^^).

Spilling the Beans

  • not used by the TbD early route, used by Anti's and "middle TbD"
  1. Start Cannon Fodder
    • The phone must not ring between the intro cutscene skip and "We're gonna fight like men!"
      • reason: it would unload said mission audio, resulting in a softlock
      • How to avoid this problem, using a rampage or call to set om0
        1. using rampage
          • avoid calls
            • hold a call during the rampage and drop it
              • that resets the call timer -> 20s without calls
            • A wanted level cannot be used to block calls since it is set to 0 after the rampage passes
              • help if you get a wl instantly after the rampage, does it block the call always, never, inconsistently, consistently works or does not work depending on the thread order?
              • there might be workarounds depending on the used rampage
        2. using call
          • help can you just let the call finish during the cutscene?
            • if so, make sure to stand outside of the mission trigger to avoid duping
      • salvaging when you softlock:
        • om1 death, start over
        • eating Pizza with om0 might fix it(since it also plays slot 2 audio help and the game waits for slot 2 audio to end, doesn't it?)
  2. Hold a call into the war cutscene
  3. Drop it as it starts, this has 2 purposes:
    • control in the cutscene
    • mission audio is softlocked
  4. Two things in any order:
    • You need to suicide to regain camera control
    • You need one phone ring to advance the dialog by one line.
      • the line you want to see the subtitle for but not play is: help Else, you cannot instapass!
  5. Start Spilling the Beans
  6. Skip the cutscene(todo: test) about 150ms(?) in
    • reason: you want to delay the Malibu taxi spawn. If you do not, it spawns before the instapassed instance disables all currently active taxi warps. D:

RC Raider Pickup

How to:

  • Start RC Raider during Spilling the Beans after the "get back to the Print Works", ez. ^^
  • This is probably used in combination with the Spilling the Beans instapass. One instance remains and you use that for this instapass.

Trouble:

  • If the phone rings at any time of the mission then the dialog at the ship can softlock for unknown reasons.
    • Solutions:
      • Have no call available at this point.
      • Or only the Auntie Poulet call that only rings in Little Haiti.
  • If you get the softlock then RIP instapass. D:
    • 2 possible ways to salvage it:
      • gain control by taking and finishing a call
      • Suicide with onmission1(rampage)

Optimizations:

  • When starting RC Raider, park your vehicle outside of the ~14*10 meter despawn zone around the heli spawn location.
  • Get out of the van quickly(but slow enough that the mission can start^^) to skip cutscenes and such
    • If you fail to get out, blow up the heli away from the van

Cabmageddon

  • can end in: Hit the Courier dupe

How to:

  1. Start HtC -> start Cabmageddon
  2. The Cabmageddon thread survives, you need to "cancel" it:
    • After "mission passed", start either "Taxi Driver" or Hit the Courier
      • Hit the Courier can be useful as it is duped(counts as two completed assets)
        • But you have to skip its intro cutscene quickly, else one instance gets stuck.
          • Solution: om1 death

Boatyard

  • Read the basics section: how to om0 start sub-missions with save points
  1. om0 start Taxi Driver with the save point
  2. Start Boatyard
    • one instance survives, so:
  3. Cancel the remaining instance

Keep your Friends Close

TODO help All Missions double-instapass(I do not know all of the details for it)

Background

  • This instapass involves "softlocking" audio:
    • one of the following lines:
      • "A passenger! Can't wait to tell" etc
      • "Tommy, why have we stopped"(whenever you leave your vehicle)
      • More lines work, too, but I do not know which ones help
    • You know that an audio line has been "softlocked" when
      • you do not get any other audio
      • you can simply kill your friends without consequences
    • The "softlock" ends when the phone rings(probably only applies to slot 1 audio help confirmation)
      • avoiding the call(2 ways)
        • Keep the call timer below 20s:
          • "Softlock" the audio shortly before the instapass.
        • Block calls with a wanted level.

How To

  1. Softlock one of those lines.
  2. Start Keep your Friends Close.
    • one instance survives, cancel it:
  3. Start Vigilante.

Abandoned Strats

Pizza Boy

  • Claim: It is fine if you get the call just before starting the mission.
    • You have a window of ~2.5 seconds.
  • This is dubious, it should depend on lucky cycles.

Changelog

  • todo learn git basics help can this (changelog) be automated?^^
  • 2017
    • 05-08
      • fix: [7:38 PM] Gaël: hmm, for Jury Fury Road Kill and Autocide you don't even say you need to dupe it
      • abandoned: see Pizza Boy
      • added versions to Boatyard cancelling
      • added "read first" section

More To-Dos
