Any% No AJS

Any% No AJS is a category that has you complete the game by any means necessary, except using AJS.

#### om2 explanation

This property is only used when you fail and exit a mission. For about 16 frames the game places you in the om2 state. This state allows you to start missions while still in a mission. Doing this will restart the mission instances before and start a second instance. You can repeat this, but it will only do one instance at a time instead of two. om2 is because of mission cleanup.

#### A Beauty x2

Start A Beauty then fail by killing Daniel and exit the mission. The developers did not expect you to do this, so the fail places you in the mission marker, starting the mission in the first frame possible. However, the first instance still stays, duplicating the mission. From here, complete the mission as normal, which will place you in om2. Start SAAYN which will instapass the second instance (the 'real' one) because starting A Beauty and SAAYN instapasses A Beauty and skips Sanchez Secrets.

#### Skills Are All You Need x6

After IPing A Beauty's second instance, SAAYN will continue as normal. This duping setup is different from the others, because of the A Beauty IP. First, get to the terminal hacking part of the mission. After that, spam the button used to access the terminal and move (still spamming) towards the wall right next to the shelf on the south side of the room. At this point, you can stop spamming the terminal and the game will essentially softlock. The walls have no collision during the terminal part and the softlock. Walking through the wall to do an OOB, get into a position that will warp you outside of the Sanchez Building interior. A mission failed screen will come up, saying Maria spotted Edward. This is false however, and puts you in a om0 state but still in the mission. You are locked in this om0 state until certain circumstances apply. Walking into the marker starts another instance, but nothing happens to you. Walk into the marker a total of 5 times. Play a replay after walking into the 5th marker. This will properly start the cutscene, which has audio overlaps because of the other instances. Your movable character is the character for the 2nd instance. Walk to the left for 3 seconds, then right 5 seconds. This will have you in the cutscene area. Punch the hacker to fail the mission. This will pass all instances, and start a 7th instance, which will immediately fail, completing the dupe and skipping Millenial Craze, Mental Woman, Taped Shut, Gang War, and A Little Something. Complete the mission as normal from there.

#### The Plan x4

Get a grenade from Ammu-Nation. Start The Plan, and drop a grenade by spamming LMB the moment you touch the white marker. The game will fail you in the cutscene with no reason. Exit the mission after waiting 5 seconds from the fail screen appearing. In the cutscene which isn't visible, Sanchez is on the marker in the cutscene, so when you exit it you start the mission in om2. Start the mission again to switch to om1. You should have the audio duplicated. Press enter ONCE to skip ONE CUTSCENE, and the mission with fail with the reason 'The carbine rifles were destroyed.' which is because the assets were deloaded during the second cutscene. The mission cleanup will activate which puts you in om2. Start two more instances of The Plan. Go to the VCPD HQ. Once you go inside, the mission will fail with no reason. Exit the mission. It will immediately start another instance. Steal any Granger and the mission will pass because the checkpoints have been screwed up, so stealing the Granger is the final requirement for the mission. The mission passed screen will come up only once, but The Plan, Paying A Visit, Juked Out, and Takeover have all been passed.

#### Ultimate Betrayal x5/ACITA IP

This is the hardest dupe in the run, because it is only about a 1/25 chance to work. Start Ultimate Betrayal and leave the mission as soon as you can. If the 1/25 chance is on your side, you will spawn in the marker. Redo this setup 2 more times and it will start 5 instances (it will always put you in the marker now). Continue the mission, but kill yourself by drowning after the betrayal cutscene. It will put you in om2 and it will pass the remainder of Ultimate Betrayal, and will activate the ACITA IP. All you have to do to show the mission passed screen for ACITA is complete any checkpoint. However, since you respawn at a hospital in om2, you have left Starfish Island. ACITA, Watchdogs, Drug Baron, and UAAE passes.

#### What Are Friends For x24/WAFF-TEAUGE IP

This is the largest dupe in the game, passing all the missions from and including What Are Friends For to Blown Away/Damn Columbians. The dupe exploits the WAFF-TEUAGE IP, where you start WAFF and TEUAGE at the same time while om1 while holding an om0 phone call, which instapasses each other. Normally, this wouldn't be possible without AJS except for this dupe. However, this dupe is very easy. Get om0 any way you want, whether it be a side mission hold bug, a taxi mission start, or a night time mission glitch. Enter WAFF and get the phone call from Daniel, and fail the mission during the call. Retry the mission and fail by killing Katalina. Exit the mission and start a hangout with Katalina, then abandon the hangout. Start any race and spam the accept phone call button right after entering the race marker. Katalina should call you in the cutscene, without audio or GUI. Accept the phone call and hold it by holding down the skip dialogue button. Drive off course in the race and exit the race after failing it. The phone call is an om0 call but you are still om1 because it was accepted while om1, so technically it is some sort of om.5 but that doesn't matter. Start WAFF again, which will keep you om1 and om0. This temporarily does some sort of PACB, like in VCS. However, the only remaining mission is TEUAGE. Start TEUAGE, which instapasses but also starts the mission. Fail the mission, which puts you in om2. Start WAFF 23 more times. TEUAGE will pass 22 times, then WAFF will pass 2 times. Complete mission cleanup by calling anyone and dying during the phone call.

#### Columbians vs. Triads x3

This is a very simple dupe. First, start the Gang War side mission Carrying The Loot. Get to the part of the mission where you dress as a Columbian. Go inside the store that gives you the clothing, and put on the clothes. Without leaving the store, kill the store clerk to fail the mission. Leave the mission, and you will have the outfit still on. Start CVT. It will put you in om2 due to mission cleanup not completing from the Gang War mission since you still have the outfit. Start CVT two more times. The mission will skip to the third checkpoint, which is right after collecting the clothing. Continue the mission as normal. There will be 3 times as many enemies, so be careful. Kill all of them, and since you completed three checkpoints, the remaining instances will pass, skipping Cubans vs. Streetwannabes and Columbians vs. Mafia.

#### Bring Them Down x2/BTD Checkpoint Transfer

This is the only mission (that is done in Any% NAJS) that starts not from a marker, but from approaching a character. Throw a grenade down and walk towards the character. You should fail right at the beginning of the cutscene. Retry, and you will have an om0 BTD. Start it again. Kill Wian Da-Nang, then go start Homecoming, which is unlocked after duping BTD. Bring Them Down will pass, and Homecoming will start at the final boss fight.

#### Homecoming

Kill Daniel Robins.
