[00:02]
Speedrun Goal

Complete all five prep missions and the Titan job finale in 45 minutes solo for $750,000.

[00:39]
Preparation: Lobby and Spawn

Launch an invite-only lobby, set spawn to McKenzie Airfield, and use the interaction menu to teleport back to the computer.

[01:07]
Key Vehicles

[02:28]
Essential Weapons

Bring a Heavy Sniper Mk II (preferably with explosive rounds), a Heavy Revolver Mk II with FMJ rounds, and a Railgun.

[03:10]
Scuba Suit and Hard Mode

Save a scuba suit outfit for the Intel mission. Lock in hard mode for all preps and finale to earn $750,000 instead of $500,000.

[03:36]
Prep 1: Up and Running

[11:04]
Prep 4: Iron Mule

Plant four jammers at the construction site, starting from the farthest and ending at the insurgent. Use the Railgun to destroy vehicles and helicopters to fill the destruction bar. Steal an Iron Mule and return to McKenzie.

[13:30]
Finale: Titan Job

Call in Vigilante before starting. Shoot the Titan continuously for 3-4 minutes. After the mayday cutscene, jump out and die to respawn at the airfield with the Vigilante. Use Vigilante missiles to destroy helicopters, then fix the engine. Load ammo shells, fly the Titan to destroy MOCs, Kosatka (5-6 shots), and train. Return to McKenzie, blow up the Titan, and collect $750,000.

[16:08]

[00:02] guaranteed in just 45 minutes, you've come to the right place because in today's Oscar Guzman Flies Again speedrun guide, I will show you how to complete all of the five prep missions plus the Titan job finale in just 45

[00:15] veteran and you're new to this heist, as long as you have the necessary vehicles and weapons, you'll still be able to do it in under an hour, which isn't bad for 750 grand. And you'll also complete the tier four challenge requirement for your

[00:27] career progress. Also, you can really tell here that Rockstar really wants you to bring a duo or even trio into this heist. And on top of that, if you to do, you'll end up spending twice as long as you need to. But in this guide,

[00:39] time-saving tricks that will significantly bring down the time it start the speedrun, here's what you'll need to do. First, launch yourself an invite-only lobby and make sure your spawn location is set to your McKenzie

[00:53] prep mission, even if you're far away, you can quickly teleport back to the computer. The next thing we're going to do is make sure we've got a few key vehicles as well as weapons before we start the Oscar Guzman storyline because

[01:07] amount of time it takes to complete these prep missions. Once again, the game really messes with you here by giving you all these crappy ATVs and new mission. But thankfully, you can use your personal vehicle, which when you

[01:20] hangar on the road. And a lot of people don't know this, which is why they end vehicle you want to check out is of course a fully upgraded Hakuchou Drag is going to make your life a whole lot easier as it's the fastest road vehicle

[01:34] in the game for getting from point A to point B. And if you don't have an HSW Hakuchou Drag because you're on last gen consoles, there are nice alternatives Powersurge. And if you're working with a tight budget, I recommend a fully

[01:47] upgraded Bati 801 RR that you can use in place of the Hakuchou Drag. The only mission where you won't be using the bike is the Titan job finale. And that's vehicle that's specifically meant for the finale itself. And that vehicle is

[02:00] upgrades installed at the MOC. And if you don't have the budget for a Vigilante, no problem at all. You can also choose to use your glitched hasn't patched that at the time of me uploading this video. Or you can even

[02:13] or even the free Duke O'Death off Warstock. Those will be slower options you'll still be able to get that finale done in under 15 minutes even with an all comes together later in the video when we get to the Titan Job finale, but

[02:28] personal vehicle at all for these prep missions and the finale is way better than following what the game tells you and using what the game gives you. Okay, you're going to want exactly three things here. A heavy sniper mark two,

[02:42] preferably with explosive rounds, but even if you have regular ammo it's still ammo comes in handy. And lastly we need a heavy revolver mark two with FMJ make all the difference in the world very soon as you're about to see. Before

[02:56] running, there are just two more things we need to do. First you have to make vehicle you're using is actually equipped and available in free roam. If send it back and tell your mechanic to deliver the drag or your vehicle of

[03:10] choice to your location. Then go ahead and save a scuba suit outfit to your this for the intel mission. We don't really need it, but it is going to save speed run here. Here you want to make sure that you lock in hard mode for all

[03:23] your preps as well as the finale because this will give you $750,000 instead of the usual 500k. Hard mode is permanently unlocked once you've done time. So if you're doing this first time, you can only make 500k. But you

[03:36] also get a $250,000 bonus for your first time completion, so there's honestly no prep mission, it's called up and running. And for this mission the game will despawn your Hakuchou Drag which is a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker

[03:48] interaction menu and just call our vehicle back in. Then using the Manchez vehicle and use it to get to the transmission tower. You can follow the get to this turn at the end of the straight road, the one with the green

[04:02] road side in front of you, just keep driving ahead and slam the brakes so you stop right on top of this hill. Then, pull out your heavy sniper, aim for the a few shots at those support structures you see. You're going to want to aim

[04:14] directly at the concrete bases. It will take exactly five shots with regular ammo and way less if you have explosive rounds. Then, aim at the other concrete pillar, shoot a few times, and job done. We've just saved ourselves an extra few

[04:26] because normally the game expects you to drive there, wait at the top of the mountain, shoot the tower supports point blank, and watch the tower fall and then and removed all of that extra time. And then, what you're going to want to do

[04:38] next is wait for the Streamer 216 to come into your field of view. We need to crates for us, but there's a way to do it without actually following this plane that, what we're going to do is soften it up a bit with some heavy sniper

[04:51] rounds to the face. And then, once it passes by you, get on your Hakuchou Drag using, switch to your heavy revolver, race along the freeway while popping FMJ rounds at the belly of the plane, and it will give you cargo drops in return. You

[05:04] only need about 11 shots in total before you collect all four packages. Make sure to veer off the freeway and get into the desert. We all know that the Hakuchou it's going to be a waste of your time. But, if you're quick, you'll be able to

[05:17] U-turn right here. Then, simply follow this route I'm showing you on screen, and from here you'll be able to get to the buyers.

[05:45] before you even get on your bike. That's what I do a lot of the time, but my faster. But anyways, once you made your delivery, get back on your bike and drive away. The game will then introduce the Titan 250D through a cutscene, but

[05:59] you can skip the cutscene. This will finish our first prep mission and now we're ready for mission number two, which is the Mogul setup. We can't use exactly what the game says and climb into the Velum and then fly all the way

[06:12] to Banning Canyon Airfield. Some people like to parachute into the base. I think and walking into the Mogul is just as viable of an option. Also, you don't of course, if you don't want to. It is

[06:25] you just shoot this one guy who's wiping the plane [music] and then get inside. Then open your interaction menu and keep snacks on the ready because you've just going to start shooting at you. If everything goes well, you'll be able to

[06:37] take off and fly straight towards Oscar [music] who's standing in a field with a those pesky enemy fighter planes on your tail. Also, while you're getting chased, missiles. You can literally fly in a straight line towards Oscar and spam

[06:50] really low cool down and as long as you tagged by a single missile. Then once all enemy aircraft are dead, turn around because it's time to bomb some Everhard bases. There are five in total that you

[07:03] to fly low enough and hit the bomb button exactly 1 second before your you'll overshoot it and you'll have to are being shot out of the plane momentum, so they'll keep flying forward

[07:17] of your target, they'll just fall 50 or 100 m ahead of the base. Then with all five bases destroyed, take the Mogul back to McKenzie Airfield to complete shouldn't take you any more than 8 minutes in total. Now, for the third

[07:31] have two phases. One where you pilot a Everhard servers and another where you dive into the water to retrieve some people hate this mission because of the diving section and the loot locations

[07:44] annoying, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to help you find all four pieces of cargo really fast. As always, spawn in your personal vehicle and take it to the drone station. The controls here are really simple and

[07:57] we've got four servers spread out across three separate warehouses. Stealth is caught. All the enemies here have Stormtrooper aim and you'll probably be they end up destroying your drone. For the first two servers, fly in through

[08:10] the green arrow on the ground level. Stare intensely at the server to steal level where you'll find this guard. Zap him or shoot him with your machine guns. Then steal the data from the second server and fly back out through the

[08:25] fly past this guard here and steal the third chunk of data. And for the last warehouse, you can fly in through this window. The server is only a few feet data, then get on your bike and follow the path I'm showing to get to the crash

[08:39] the path I'm showing to get to the crash site really fast. the guards, get on one of those Sea Sharks and drive to the yellow circle.

[08:51] underneath the water and swim all the way to the ocean floor. If you already is great because you don't have to grab the gear from the enemy outpost and But you can also just grab it in the middle of getting a shot and it won't be

[09:05] where a lot of people get confused because the cargo can spawn in random locations, but it will always be a crate with a red light on top and it will show enough. The way I like to do this is I start at the extreme left side of the

[09:19] swim towards the right through this ravine, the one with all the seaweeds, first crate. Then what you're going to want to do is swim past this piece of wreckage and you'll find a shipping container to your left just a few meters

[09:33] piece of cargo. And then I got lucky with the third crate, which was located the seaweeds. And if you don't get it there, check the area right next to this anything there, either, check these pipes. If you head right from the pipes,

[09:48] which should have the fourth and final piece of cargo that we need to complete the mission. From here, if you equip the scuba gear, instead of swimming back up Seashark or even swimming back to shore, you can let yourself get attacked by one

[10:01] of these sharks in the water. Let them damage you until you die, and when you checkpoint. You'll spawn back on the shore and all four crates that you collected will be on a table next to you, which you can pick up and time save

[10:13] otherwise have to swim and then drive back to shore. If you didn't equip any scuba gear before you went diving, you can also just stop healing yourself in the water and let yourself drown after you collect the cargo. It works exactly

[10:25] the strategy a player should go for. After this, of course, you'll need to head back to the McKenzie Airfield with all your crates. But don't follow the default GPS route because I've got a path that's way faster. Here, check this

[10:37] out. First, head towards the main road, but skip right past the bridge and take get close to the bridge, cut left towards the road, but instead of driving between these pillars and head straight for the irrigation channel right here.

[10:51] this sharp turn. You can't miss it. It's super noticeable with the blue water and follow the blue line until you're faster than taking roads and it will save you a whole lot of time on the

[11:04] Intel mission. The fourth setup mission, Iron Mule, is often considered one of difficult missions in the Oscar Guzman storyline simply because of how many spawn camping aimbots won't let go of you until you're dead, and the only way

[11:18] to lessen your pain is by planting those four jammers ASAP and then causing as amount of time so ever hard calls in their Iron Mules. And the quickest way to do this is by driving up on this high ground here and killing that insurgent

[11:31] construction site. If you don't kill him first, he's going to make your life a farthest jammer point and work your way towards the insurgent from there. Make sure the insurgent jammer is the fourth and last one. And the reason for that is

[11:44] Everhart's iron mules won't show up until you fill up that destruction near the insurgent, you'll be placed perfectly between a sea of vehicles and up. And this is where that railgun is going to come in handy because you can

[11:59] just one shot, and the same goes for helicopters. Inexperienced players will only go for the choppers that pursue, things up significantly by destroying all those cars and gas tanks and grain

[12:12] munitions crates. Anything that can be destroyed, destroy it to make that bar go up really fast. And the less time you spend fighting the Everhart thugs, the And so, obviously, this is where that armored Kuruma, the Duke O'Death, or

[12:25] even better, the glitched Coquette D5 will also come in handy. But, overall, once the iron mules arrive, find the closest one to you, get inside, disable picking up the insurgent, it's only going to slow you down and waste your

[12:37] time. Go straight back to the McKenzie airfield and complete this mission. mission, we're going to grab some ammo for the Titan 250D from a container simple. You parachute in, get inside that iron mule that you just stole, and

[12:51] But, there's a big problem here. You've got all these armed guards shooting at you, and once that bar at the bottom right of your screen fills up, Everhart you to fly low or you'll get blown out of the sky by guided missiles. So,

[13:04] we'll grab the bare minimum, which is the ammo, and then haul cheeks back to the objective marker. You can grab the Mogul twin machine gun upgrade as that so in the finale by shooting down the Titan faster, but I don't really find it

[13:17] about 2 minutes in this mission or 2 minutes extra. So, you'll be adding a run. Because, once you you that twin machine gun upgrade, you'll probably be able to take the Titan down in 3 minutes as opposed to 4 minutes. Okay, with all

[13:30] the prep done, it's time for the finale, possibly the longest mission in the entire Oscar Guzman storyline, and the first half of it is the most mindless, brain-dead, on-rails shooting gallery I've ever experienced in GTA Online

[13:42] because literally all you do is hold your crosshair on the Titan and press fire for 4 continuous minutes, or again, 3 if you did the machine gun upgrade. make sure the Vigilante is set as your personal vehicle. Call it in right

[13:54] before you start the finale. That is the most important step of this mission. Also, here's another tip. Forget about shooting down the cruise missiles and the game tells you to. Literally all you have to do is kill these first two

[14:07] and then once that's done, for the next 3 to 4 minutes, keep your machine guns that fire button. It doesn't matter which part of the plane you target, just keep firing and ignore everything coming at you. You'll kill that Titan a whole

[14:20] And now comes my secret tip that will significantly speed up this mission. As soon as the Titan gives the mayday call and you see this cutscene, right after and don't open your parachute. Since we're in hard mode with zero extra

[14:34] the checkpoint, which is the airfield where the Titan just landed. And would you look at that? We also have a fresh new Vigilante parked right next to us. following the Titan to the airfield, and it spawns our Vigilante, which will

[14:48] helicopter with its insanely busted homing missiles. You won't even feel a the engine because everyone will already be dead. Then, with the engine fixed, get back in your Vigilante and spam some more missiles till Oscar drops the ammo.

[15:02] threat to you, so load the shells as fast as you can. I was able to do it without leaving the animation once, and then I spammed my snacks and flew away next part is all skill-based, and I can't really give any other tips other

[15:15] than just keep your targets to your left and fly low. Once you've destroyed the Everhard MOCs, the game will spawn a Kosatka submarine. Fly in a straight line lengthwise along the submarine and hit it with your 40 mm gun. Remember,

[15:27] and so you have to be as close to the sub as possible and you should kill it in about five to six shots. Then, when you need to take out the train next, you power transmission lines as one of your plane wings could snag on one of those

[15:41] to restart this segment all over again and that's going to waste time. But, after that train's destroyed, the game will ask you to fly back to McKenzie of transportation if you're really nitpicking over time on this one. And

[15:54] ground, blow up the Titan and it will spawn you back in Sandy Shores Airfield Airfield, right across the sea. From here, it'll take you about 30 seconds to finish the mission and collect your $750,000.

[16:08] finished the speed run in less than an hour and with subsequent playthroughs, I complete this in 45 minutes or less which makes the Oscar Guzman heist not only one of the best money makers in the game, but also way less difficult than

[16:22] really enjoy this storyline for my first and even second playthrough to be missions were designed and all the ways to exploit the game to make it faster definitely a top five activity that I personally like to farm for some mega

[16:37] cash here in GTA online. And guys, that's it for my Oscar Guzman speed run guide. If you use the skips and tricks I provided in this video, you'll find out thought and it might even replace Cluckin' Bell for some of you. I know, I

[16:50] still better for beginners and a lot sometimes we like a little challenge to keep us on our toes, of course. Otherwise, we'd all still be grinding crates 24/7 to be honest. I think Oscar

[17:02] that 48-minute cool down between the Dr. Dre contract and if you stack this with the VIP contract, you'll be making $1.9 million every hour and 45 minutes which you'll be able to afford yourself your very own Titan 250D. Who knows?

[17:18] don't get the Titan. It's kind of trash now after the recent nerfs and not It's kind of ironic how Rockstar created a whole heist to hype up the Titan 250D nerfed the heck out of it to the point where it's not worth the money anymore.
