Disclaimer: Not all maps have a tutorial listed here. That may be because we have a shortage of well commentated and knowledgable tutorials for that map, or that said map is not considered particularly difficult.

FPS independent strats for new patch

Since May 2023, shooting Sierra through the wall has been inconsistent on lower FPS. See below for some strategies that avoid shooting the wall and thus are not affected by FPS / hardware.

Old Miami Tutorials Below (still relevant but see above if you have FPS issues)

  • Volvomodus 15s Miami (Voiceover Commentary)

  • Papier's Miami Video + Text Commentary

    • You can skip cutscene as soon as the light of Sierra's car go on then you walk towards the right corner of the gate (shoot a sieker dart onto the journalist cause she can spot you killing Robert) and shoot through the garage wall when Sierra drives past. You wanna shoot slightly before sierra is in your scope cause she's moving quick. The fake NPC's outside the gate are RNG so ideally you'd have nobody in your way but sometimes you have to adapt where you shoot depending on these NPC's. In case you miss sierra you get a second chance once she's around the corner.

    • For Robert I walk to the corner of the blue sign on the ground and aim towards him. You see a black window to his right which is what you want to shoot. You wanna be on the 2nd scope lvl (so 1 more than nothing) and once you see Robert being outside the black part of your sniper scope, you can shoot the wiindow twice. Then walk forward along the sign until you see the window next to robert which you wanna shoot after he's walked past. Shoot the bottom right of the window. Then you walk further right until you see the gap in the window (you can also step back a bit) and shoot Robert as soon as his head appears.

  • Miami 20s by Shtok

Santa Fortuna

Mumbai

Whittleton Creek

Isle of Sgail

New York

Haven

Dubai

  • Dubai 17s Tutorial by Moo
    • Probably not consistent enough for trilogy, just good for Season 3 runs
    • See also: Dubai 16s (mostly the same but shoot Marcus slightly sooner)
  • See the other seasonal (Season 1 / 2 / 3) SASO Pro records here for other faster but riskier strategies.

Dartmoor

Berlin

Chongqing

Mendoza

Romania

Beginner-Friendly(ish) Strats

  • Tsta's 29:36 Trilogy SA/SO
    • Some strategies may be riskier for new players, such as Paris, Sapienza, Dartmoor.
  • Solderq35's 37:42 Trilogy SA/SO
    • Turn on Youtube Subtitles for text commentary.
    • Colorado strategy here is somewhat outdated due to lighting changes, use Tsta's Colorado strategy instead.

Other Beginner Routes to consider:

SASO Master

Short summary of pro / master differences:

  • Longer viewcones
  • NPC can hear your footsteps when you trespass
    • Note: Inconsistent mechanic, NPC will react to footsteps at random distances every time
  • Some items are moved (moreso on Season 1 than Season 2 or 3)
  • Extra guards / enforcers / cameras (moreso on Season 1 than Season 2 or 3)

Meta Strategies Overview

Additional Fullgame Resources Listed by Map

  • Will only list a few videos here for maps where Master really changes. Otherwise, just watch the fullgame run listed above for a starting point, or refer to the SASO pro section.

Marrakesh

Colorado

Romania

SA Pro / Master

List of maps that can benefit from a disguise for speed and consistency on SA category:

  • Paris
  • Sapienza
  • Colorado (Maybe, needs development)
  • Hokkaido
  • Santa Fortuna (Speed is comparable to SA/SO but probably safer with disguise)
  • Sgail
  • New York (Whether this is faster somewhat depends on Athena cycle RNG)
  • Dartmoor
  • Berlin
  • Romania (You'll lose a few seconds getting a disguise but it's arguably worth it for consistency)

Meta Strategies Overview

Any%

  • For Any% Trilogy, is recommended to compare and contrast the first and second place runs, and use the fastest strategies from either.
  • See the other seasonal (Season 1 / 2 / 3) Any% records here for other faster but riskier strategies.
