Can You Get Max Stats In GTA 5's Prologue?

[@Regynate]

The reason why all the stats except stamina and lung capacity reset at the end is because the game stores a bunch of variables, and calculates the stats based on them. For instance, it tracks distance travelled in stealth mode and uses it to calculate the stealth stat. Also the game resets all these variables after prologue EXCEPT time spent swimming and underwater. So the lung capacity kept at 100%, and stamina kept only its swimming part, that's why it was higher than normal but not maxed out.

[@IrishmanAC]

Makes a lot of sense, they probably didn't bother resetting it because without the exploit to escape the map, you would never have a way to increase it. Interesting though that they decided they don't want players to keep any stat progress from the prologue. Thanks for helping Matt with the mod and your insight into this.

[@DivyanshBalchandani]

I'm more surprised that M & T from Prologue are actually the same characters as Michael & Trevor in later missions (I mean in the code, not in the story). What reason would be there to link the two, and not just have them be entirely separate?

[@jordanwardle11]

​@@DivyanshBalchandaniless work. If you were to have separate characters for prologue, then they would double the work for no reason so 5 characters instead of 3. Then, if you go that route, you may as well have brad be playable. That's now 6 characters to work on

[@DivyanshBalchandani]

@@jordanwardle11 All characters are already playable, as you can do so in Director Mode. I do not see how they would have to put any more work than that, especially since M & T are only accessible in one mission. They could be separate characters that inherit the animations of their later versions, and that's it. Taking the same characters, switching their models, resetting their stats, turning on special, etc seems like more work to me than just having a character with all these attributes already. My assumption is that the game has certain considerations for each character. Like, if you're controlling Trevor, the game is different than when you're controlling Michael. An example of that is how the flare from the sun changes depending on what character you are controlling. So, essentially, when you switch characters, you might be changing the entire game world in some ways. In such a case, adding all those properties to a different character for one mission would be a pain.

[@3mmmmmm]

And that mightve been the reason lung capacity was kept, because since they didnt think you would be able to swim, they might not have programmed it to reset, since it would still be the starting value on a normal run

Matto talking about stats made me realize, that a "0 Skill Run" would be interesting. All stats always on 0 or at most on 1% for every character.

[@dynastyconflate3379]

I mean, probably the only thing that would be gotten over speedrunner strats from doing this would be walking everywhere. Not running (stamina stat) or driving (driving stat), just walking. But I'm not sure that'd be very interesting to watch...

[@ShinjiSings]

there might be more to it. Less strength/stamina means less durability. You can't really Dive. Driving/Flying gets harder. Almost no special abilities

1:01:43 there’s 2 titans on the military base. If you are able to open the back door, you can get the red car inside the titan, fly away, and lose the cops. Afterwards some under the bridges should be possible with the titan or you could do landing strats. The harder part would be to open the back door, which I know some ways to open the back doors were patched for online but I’m not sure they were for GTA5. Some options could be using the natural spawn C4, punching the back of the titan, using a bat to open the door, or even ramming the car hard enough into the titan

57:57 There is actually a way to get a cargobob, but It's not consistent and can be a pain to do without Trevor. So, what you need to do is get a spawn in southwest helipad in Fort Zancudo. The cargobob will be taking off, but the pilot doesn't have any guns so you can just spray the helicopter with an automatic weapon and the pilot will get out scared, and then It's only a matter of getting It. The window of opportunity is tiny, if the pilot have barely taken off It's very likely that helicopter will just explode when he jump. The cargobob will take tons of damage during the escape so all can do is fly to Trevor's airfield (the time managed to get It I barely made It Trevor's helipad, I've ended up gliding with It at very end, I should've just quick saved-quick load to fix the cargobob). It's completely impossible to do during a mission, but at least there's a method for the cargobob during story mode without purchasing It.
