In this Video, I load my Save and do one Chiliad Challenge, one Oyster, NRG-500 Challenge, bring the Bullet back to Los Santos, and finalize the remaining Weapon Skill I needed for such Weapons.

In a previous attempt at this Run, I had the Bullet back in Los Santos, but it was smoking pretty badly by this time. I crashed into another Vehicle at which time, it caught fire and blew up, which resulted in having to retry the Run. Also, in the previous Run, I did NRG-500 Challenge SO MUCH QUICKER. I didn't do it that good at all this time. It can be done much quicker than that, even by casual standards!

I have the EC2 Perennial and now THREE total Rare Vehicles (Bloodring Banger, Dune, and Bullet) and just SEVEN more to go. I've experimented with the NE Bloodring Banger but can't seem to get it to spawn NE. But not only that, I remember a Method where you could open up the Doherty Garage and then quickly drive to the NRG-500 Challenge and see that it's now an NE NRG-500. I also experimented with that and I can't seem to get it to spawn NE, either. May have to use Vigilante for it, instead. We'll see soon enough.

I'll likely do a Run or two tomorrow (might record them, or not, we'll see how I feel and how well the Runs go), but then I won't play for a couple of days due to the increase in work hours at my job. I'll resume playing on Monday. But as you can see, I am already 10.16% Completion, saved only five times, and have been playing now for 6 hours and 13 minutes (Total Playing Time Stat) across four real life days. After tomorrow, I'll be 11.??% out of the 13.90% in total. Basically, that is just Vigilante, Oysters, Snapshots, Horseshoes, and Test Track. But I also need seven more Rare Vehicles, and some of those may take some time and can't even be obtained from Vigilante until AFTER it's passed so it doesn't add any extra Mission Attempts to the Stats!

My PS2 Starter Save at 13.90% has 14:10 Total Playing Time and I saved 15 times. I am not sure if I will beat those Stats for this PC Starter Save, but it's going to be close. The plan is only saving 12 times on PC whereas on PS2, I saved 15 times. If I succeed with that, I will be very pleased. As for the Total Playing Time, it honestly SHOULD BE HIGHER due to a simple reason that Vigilante must be completed "normally." On PS2 Version 1.03, I am able to use the Interior Trick which eliminates all the Targets in seconds and you don't even need to use any Weapons. For Mobile, and now PC, I had/have to do it the normal way. This means, I need to built up a lot of M4 ammo (about 2,000 bullets). As you can see, by using the spawning AK-47 in Ganton, I should be there in no time and then can finally complete Vigilante Level 12!

The next Run (Run 6) should be 2 Chiliad Challenges to finally finish them up, Hippy Shopper, and HOPEFULLY the NE NRG-500 using the NRG-500 Challenge Location and the Doherty Garage Method, but if it doesn't ever spawn, I will have to obtain it in another Run later on. Even if it spawns, it's not a 100% guarantee I will be able to jump it over the Flint Intersection successfully onto land and not having it land in the water! It's surely possible as I seen it a bunch of times and done it myself a bunch of times, but I also landed in the water a bunch of times, too. It's risky, but worth the risk because getting it from Vigilante as the FIRST VEHICLE to spawn gets to be a pain in the ass. Like the Phoenix. Like the Turismo.

Stay tuned for more! Overall, I am enjoying the Starter Save. It feels refreshing considering I didn't play SA seriously since Summer 2018, which is three years ago exactly now. That was also on Mobile. I didn't play it as such on PS2 since 2017! So this is a fun experience compared to all the past several months Save Assembling Projects where I sort of just went on auto pilot and just wanted them done but not having fun at all whilst assembling them!

I reckon the full Starter Save will be completed sometime NEXT WEEK and Bonus Video will be up. Late next week. Like Thursday or Friday. Worst case scenario, it'll be finished Monday or Tuesday of that FOLLOWING week after that. Then finally...Time to continue on to 100% Completion with 70+ Special Vehicles and to record some stuff for my Guide! It's going to be a lot of fun!

****NOTE TO SELF**** - Keep the "Friendly Gang Member" Kills to ZERO, ya dummy! So far, so good! Pretty sure on PS2 AND Mobile, I accumulated this Stat in the Starter Save and I always wanted to keep it ZERO.
