Watch Dogs 2 Any% Speedrun in

Catch my runs live at / random_machine
Finally got the first ever sub 2:30 in this game! Still took me about another month to beat my old world record. despite the time saves available. The first 45 minutes of the run are great and the last 20 minutes are good, but the middle has the majority of the time losses in the run. This game is very difficult to run without any mistakes mostly due to RNG, so I'm not sure if I would try to beat this unless new strats are found.

To Reamber the whole game and speed run it this fast is insane if you think about it

[@candles6103]

Well imagine gta 5 which its fastest speedrun is 5-10 depending on what category

[@DiabolicCrusher]

True, i honestly have nothing but respect for people that speedrun very long/open world games, even more so if it's a 100% run for something like GTA.

[@monkeytown1239]

@@DiabolicCrusher exactly, its crazy - GTA 5 and RDR 2 are insane, 14 hour speedruns etc.

[@Krayzboiayp]

Maybe the routes and shortcuts, but the traps and puzzle hacks is absolutely nuts.

[@jachha]

why is like, half of the instant skip cutscenes so funny especially post cyberdriver car

[@htmep]

This is really impressive👽
Congrats!✌️

[@sithemper0r864]

yoo this is awesome. im not a speed runner so it was fun to see little tricks i picked up from playing this game so much and fun to see more stuff i had no idea you could even do!

[@rogo7330]

New year, new WR. Congrats!

[@Evil-Keks]

Happy New year to best watch dogs series speedruner! ❤

[@RandomMachine]

Happy New Year to you as well! Good thing I was able to get this WR before the new year.

[@PranjalForYou]

18:16 bro was spamming the esc button 😂

[@pedroalmodovar8765]

Hey! I could see at least the last 20 minutes of the run the other day! Congratulations for your PB and new WR.
Wish we can see you running the incredible story about a construction worker with his drone and his nailgun in legion, or the DLC.
Happy new year!🎉

[@RandomMachine]

Thanks! I might run All Operations in WD2 next, but I need to route it first. Legion's WR needs a lot of improvement though.
Happy New Year to you as well!

[@KoZzYNomi]

God xD So creative, impressive execution. GG

[@dappegames8706]

Congrats, I wonder if 2024 can top how successful this year was for Watch Dogs speedrunning

[@RandomMachine]

Probably not because I might dial back on speedrunning in 2024

[@monkeytown1239]

im replaying watch dogs 2 at the moment and didnt like it at first. but i gotta say, it grew on me to the point that its my favorite now :)
the only thing i was constantly missing in WD1 was the ability to interact with NPCs, WD2 is just brighter, bigger and better than 1!

[@kenyoulego709]

How to instant skip cutscene on ps4 guys, i really need help

[@RandomMachine]

It should be circle to skip cutscenes

[@Robert-el7wn]

can anyone explain to me why speedruns start with 9:16 on the timer

[@RandomMachine]

That's because I use a mod to skip the cutscenes at the start.

[@nathaniellss]

2:06:02 lmao 😂

[@dzenacs2011]

Greatt

[@sayrex_xl]

How many months did it take? GG🎉

[@RandomMachine]

6-7 months after I switched over from Bad Blood

[@hjmmmmseraaa]

Always remember the clothe you buy in the start is the clothe you gona see this 2h 😂 But God job this is my fav game I play it since it came out and I still play it I would like to see you play multiplayer to your gona by a great player I think you gona like it👍 there are some people that know how to play the game to and a 2v2 showdown in a pv party with people that know how to play this is something else I hope you try :P

[@KingMazza]

he’s a speed runner not a pvp player most of his missions he has methods to skip all the pve

[@sixz.z5938]

Whays your in-game settings? is most of them on low?

[@RandomMachine]

Yeah, it was set to the lowest settings

[@Swargo.]

the hacking is just funny to watch, bro some people need at least 5 min he does it in like 2-3 sec congrats on your WR tho

[@RandomMachine]

Thanks, but most people will take a long time to do those if they're doing it their first few times.

[@jjjjjjj9651]

[@RandomMachine]

Was a 1070ti for this run. Now got a 4070ti

[@user-ob3jb5ewpi2icllG64]

How do you speed up so fast?

[@RandomMachine]

Where and wdym? I use Engine Override when I'm in vehicles and Speed Boost with the Drone/Jumper to speed up.

[@user-ob3jb5ewpi2icllG64]

@@RandomMachine Soon you will have 1 hour of speedrunning!

[@RandomMachine]

@@user-ob3jb5ewpi2icllG64 I wish, but we need to break the game to get it to 1 hour, and the WD games are almost impossible to break.

howd you learm this

[@RandomMachine]

I found most of the stuff here and some were found by others. Then I practiced/played the game a lot

[@dalton-f]

@@RandomMachine what do you think the best game is to run, 1 2 or legion? i wanna get into it

[@RandomMachine]

@@dalton-f WD1 or Legion. WD1 is easier than this game and has some cool strats. Legion is probably the easiest, but it doesn't have many interesting strats. WD2 can still be fine too if you don't care about the run being too optimized.
