Availability/time zone: UK/GMT weekends I'm very flexible with times, during the week can get on between 20:00-23:00 UK,

(which is 15:00 - 18:00 EST or 12:00 - 15:00 PST)

 

Mic: Have mic, might not say much but I will connect it

Rank: 500+ on main, around 180 on 2nd (I was out of work for a while)
Preferred language: I only speak English but if you can read this we should be good. I used run missions with a German team who didn't appear to speak any English.
Skills: Put me where you need me. I've done most roles several times.
I prefer to take a truck in series A because I think the technical should handled by 2 people who play together.
I've already done prison break but if you want me to help out with that one, I would prefer to be demolitions as it is the role I am most familiar with and most people seem to struggle with doing it quickly (you should be at the prison before the ground team start the timer and they should not need to wait for you)
I did Fleeca and Prison break with my 360 crew before character transfer, still need: Humane, Series A and Pac standard

So with the new houses added in today's update, is it a fair assumption that a few of them would be better starting points for Humane Labs heist?

 

There's two on Conker Ave. and one on Whispymound Drive that are very close to the road you take north. I haven't purchased any of them or tested it yet, but I'm guessing they'd shave a few seconds off a start from the Integrity Way apartment.

 

I don't think any of the new properties would be better for any of the other heists.

For anyone who plays heists, the elite challenges may have gotten easier for Humane Labs and Pacific Standard.



Using one of these apartments, circled in red, should make for shorter drives.



Good luck all!

Conker Ave. shaves about 20-25 seconds off the time to the Valkyrie for Humane Labs. You can still make it even with a single not too serious screw up on the ride over if all the bikes spawn in the right place.

The team I was with decided not to use it for Pac Std: It saves a few seconds if the bikes all spawn in the right place, but sometimes they spawn far enough away that the savings is lost finding someone else's bike to jump on.

 

Question about the t-shirt award: is that per account (like some of the heist awards - Loyalty/CM/etc.) or per character (like Shot Caller/In Control/etc.)? At this point I've done HLR on one character and Pac Std on the other (just what character I happened to be on when the rest of the team was available).

Elite challenges are seperate for each charachter. You have to do them all twice if you want the shirts for both charachters.

I agree. For Pacific Standard Elite you are better off using Eclipse Towers or Integrity Way.

If one is only going for the shirts, I suggest to watch this video on how IMO is easiest to complete Humane Labs. It's on PS4, the difficulty is set to normal (for the team going inside the labs to have a bit easier job), and the gunner stays inside the Valkyrie all the time. It's a bit different way than what is seen on most of the videos, but even with some minor fails (can be seen in the video), you can pass with this. The new Stilt house helps a lot time wise.

Be sure not to be hit by too many buzzard rockets, or this might happen:

danevans364 and Air7_______ have done the fleeca job in 5:02 on the ps4 and 5:03 but are 5:03 is the only one posted on Youtube can you add us to the leaderboard please my youtube channel is called DME Gamer :-)

Hey bro. The leader board is in the other thread. You can post your video there.

Looks like you're gonna have to do better than 4:48 to get on that board.

As Stang has stated, this is not the correct thread. You can find the actual leaderboard thread in my signature below where you can submit your video and time.

 

Look forward to welcoming you there!

4:48 on fleeca on ps4 is not possible or at the very least near impossible due to insane amount of lag compared to pc. i've attempted fleeca on ps4 a million times and the lag there is unreal.

 

wait, i have no idea why i thought that they are on ps4, but my statement remains true. i think that fleeca is the one where pc should be separated from ps4 and x1.

Hello! I have updated the guide quite a bit this weekend and I think it's much better than before. I have noted several places where I plan to add more information and pictures.

 

If you see an area where you have expertise that you could contribute, please do so. Thank you so much all!

 

:)

 

Specific questions:

 

1) Can anyone confirm, do you take less damage running in first person?

2) When and where does the enemy helicopter appear that needs to be shot down by the gunner using standard approach on Humane Labs? (there is a chopper that spawns and flies past you towards the landed Valkyrie but I don't know the details for this) Also, I need to know where the choppers are sitting that the pilot can kill prior to picking up the ground team on the beach.

3) When and what route is used when the gunner on Humane Labs goes to the dam to shoot down enemy choppers using this method?

4) More details on order for spawn killing the enemies that approach the south side of the warehouse on Series A

 

(For some reason when I play Humane Labs my friends like to be gunner/pilot so I am usually ground team and I don't know the specifics for these! Thanks!!!)

 

Thank you so much to anyone who helps!!!

Hello! Nearly 1 year after writing my initial guide to the elite challenges, I decided to update the guide with the goal of making it much more informative, easy to follow, and inclusive of the latest and greatest techniques for setting fast times.

 

My goal is to create a finished product that is very nice and high quality. To that end, I hope to recruit a few people to help me.

 

I am looking for 2-3 "reviewers" to read the guide and offer comments/critiques/suggestions. Ideals persons would be respectful and positive. If anyone can take the time to help, that would be great. I would happily list you as co-author/contributor or whatever you desire. The ideal reviewer would be someone with in depth knowledge regarding the elite challenges.

 

Please communicate with me via PM if interested. Thank you so much! :D

The current Series A record video (viewed from South Team) pretty much shows all the vehicles as they spawn. As for the enemies on foot, they don't always spawn at the same spot.

The helicopter spawn are determine by the ground team

 

1 half way before card

1 at card insertion

2 at tunnel

2 half way in the tunnel

 

Everything else will spawn when ground team get in the helicopter

 

There is absolutly no need for the gunner to go on the ground unless you have a really skilless pilot. You can take 3 rocket and a hard landing on Last check point.

Good to see you back, Katy! Happy to Contribute our elite Fleeca method which is still used today. Can also answer all the little question on other heists as I have watched all the elite leader board contributions, but I would recommend taking a look in that thread also as all the main teams share tactics and strategy. I'm sure, with their permission, most will be happy for you to share this in your thread as they are essentially linked. Some methods across all heists may be seen as OTT abd far too much effort, but that should get peopLe well within Elite times. Will send over a PM later.

sh*t not on ps3. Got 3% damage few days ago after being hit with 3 missiles and also 3% damage yesterday after taking only 2 missile hits.

 

@Katy. Welcome back!

 

Also. Always looking for skilled players on PS3 for speed runs. Hit me up if interested.

Take checkpoint only with 1 missile. Its possible to get 2% with 2 missiles but it's very rare.

One thing that occurred to me yesterday (apologies if others have already found this) on pac std the hostages are physical while living and can present a trip fouling hazard to demolitions and hacker on exit. if crowd control shoots the one girl that is in the direct path to the door after the alarm is triggered it removes her as an obstacle.
