Fastest Way to Complete Sightseer Mission?

[Ultrasonicwave]

So far I have been using the buzzard that you can spawn in for free as a VIP (if you already have one). But I was wondering if there was an even more efficient method of completing Sightseer.

[Lubas]

I use the SuperVolito Carbon.

I guess air is the best way, or probably a Hydra? I've never tried a Hydra though

[CarimboHanky]

i use my hydra and can finish in like 5mins, with the buzzard it always take me like 7mins to complete.

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

If the packages are close together I use my Osiris but most of the time I use my Buzzard.

[Trix_N]

Me too, Buzzard and if its close together in town im in on my Hakuchou

I just drive, the longer it takes the bigger the payout.

Those 500$ per minute aren't worth it. You'll get more money in the long run if you rush them.

The Besra is a good option and I also do well with the Maverick, Frogger and Swift. I frequently get it done in under 5 1/2 minutes, but that's largely because I do the cracking part very quickly.

Buzzard all the way. Instant spawn wherever you are and even if you slam it around, you can usually pick up all three packages without needing a replacement.

If all of the packages are in the city, you're better off with a helicopter. However, if the packages are spread around the entire map, then the Hydra is preferrable. But you have no way of knowing this beforehand. So I just stick to my Buzzard, or if I'm on my yacht, my Swift.

[FlacidJack]

normally do it after missions like Time to Fly, Base Invaders, Chop Chop, Titan so I just take whatever heli is at the airfields. All fun missions IMO that can easily be done alone or with friends and end near an airlfield work. I always hope I get the Frogger, it's a nice heli IMO.

If you've got a friend make him the pilot. Start flying, you start hacking. If you're somehow way up in the air or you passed it, just jump out and parachute in while he comes down to land (best used for hard to park places like the right-side beach package or when climbing up Chiliad to reach Paleto Bay). If you both know the spawn points/locations on the map, tell him a general direction (go to the city, the pier, Sandy Shores, up north. etc) while you open your map up. Having a friend can save you at least a minute, maybe more.

Nothing faster than a helicopter, though, unless a jet and the packages are far between each other but landing it may take longer. I stick with the Maverick as it's the only one I own but Swift or the new copter is probably your best bet.

Off-topic: While not fast at all, doing it in the Dodo (the seaplane) is actually tons of fun. Land on hills, in water, on the streets. I'd recommend you try it out.

Hydra

Hydra and master the drop-in

 

 

Just fly high to your destination, fly straight down at it from above and switch to hover mode. As soon as you touch the joystick you'll flip level.

I usually use the Hydra so others can use the VIP Buzzard and since it's faster across distances. Main disadvantage is that it can't land in as tight of spots as the Buzzard can and takes longer to slow down and stop if you haven't practiced spinning and changing your momentum or diving and using VTOL to break out of the dive. Ultimately though, it's best to just use whichever you are most comfortable with of course, as not crashing and losing the vehicle is the best speed running tip.

 

Other advantage to the Hydra is that you can use it to easily do Hostile Takeover: Altruist Camp by yourself, so you can keep the same vehicle for both events.

[Weedell]

I grab my Pegasus buzzard so that if I do something stupid and break it I can immediately get the VIP buzzard delivered on the spot w/o the cooldown.

[rlk232]

I think I had my best time with the Besra, but didn't keep track of it. That's of no value on Hostile Takeover though.
