If there's a convenient way to pickup a sniper rifle for free then yeah that would be pretty useful, let me know if there is a way.
This strat is possible in my Any% route and costs like 10 seconds to setup but the strat saves around 2 minutes compared to my PB.
requires you to pick up the following money bags; The first mission outside after the carpark near the steps (costs around 3 seconds) False profits Jimmy Siska rescue I grab the money and research data before rescuing him (not sure around 5 seconds?) Haum sweet haum in the home invasion you can jump into the decking area (no time loss), Last one is on Limp Nudle after sliding through the cooling vent its on the left (like 1 or 2 seconds)
this will give you almost 24K the rest of the money comes from stealing cars and hacking people for money here and there.
then go to the 3D printer and buy the sniper whilst waiting for the virus to appear before Hackerwar this costs no time.
Two more things to note for this strat and mission. First you don't need to kill the dude when doing the money grind just give him a phone call then go to the camera. Last of all you can just shoot Pablo in the head through the window in the door.
Cool, yeah and using the reload checkpoint we can get alot of money. as you get like 19k from him. save for helicopter
