Time for a look at some truly impressive gaming skills, as a speedrunner has managed to beat the whole of GTA 5 without taking any damage: and he did it all in nine hours. <\/p>\n

The feat was achieved by UnNameD, who uploaded a three-part video<\/a> of the run to YouTube on Sunday. According to the description this was UnNameD’s 48th attempt at completing the run, in which he had “1HP, no Trevor ability, no armours, 0 deaths”. UnNameD used the One Hit KO mod<\/a> to complete the run, which kills the player immediately if they take any form of damage. That includes rogue cars, stray bullets, or even falling a little too hard on the floor. <\/p>\n

As for the nine-hour time posted by UnNameD, it takes the average player about 31.5 hours to beat GTA 5’s main story<\/a>, while top-tier speedrunners can do it in about 3.3 hours with mission skips<\/a>. They don’t have to worry so much about taking damage, however.<\/p>\n
