Matthew Judge, oregon Twitch streamer and YouTube creator DarkViperAU, has been moving connected his “pacifist run” of GTA V for 3 years. You mightiness cognize “pacifism” arsenic abhorring each violence, but pacifist video crippled runs person a much Machiavellian attack to satellite peace: It’s good to kill, arsenic agelong arsenic the sidesplitting is simply a bare-bones necessity to completing the game.

Under this generous mentation of pacifism, Judge cautiously completed his non-violent convulsive playthrough of 1 of the astir depraved, stupidly bloody games ever made. Now immoderate squeamish GTA V player knows the truth: To marque it done to the game’s end, without utilizing immoderate cheats oregon mods, you request to termination astatine slightest 96 people.

That’s inactive a batch of people. What astir those 96 people’s friends and families, you say, who locomotion like determination is simply a lobster attached to the spot of their pants? Well, they’ll conscionable person to support walking. Compared to a Reddit user’s 2021 estimation that you person to termination “at slightest 726 people” (Judge called this Redditor an “idiot” in a 2021 video), 96 murders is beatified work.

He was capable to execute the feat chiefly by hoping that NPCs and biology elements—I’m counting the game’s galore flying bullets and vessel missiles arsenic environmental—would find the close home. He hid to debar taking those bullets himself, crawled astir to debar aggravating the incorrect characters, and performed painstaking experimentation. At 1 point, Judge says helium waited “eons” uncovering a mode to get a murder-required NPC to drive, repeatedly, into the water and instrumentality capable harm to dice connected his own.

“In 15 minutes, I had lone managed to get them into the water twice, and I had nary thought however galore times I had to bash it,” helium said.

While 15 minutes whitethorn not precisely beryllium “eons,” it does adhd up. In the end, Judge says helium filmed 1,000 hours of pacifist tally footage. While his full of 96 proves you don’t needfully request to beryllium cold-blooded to play GTA V, those 1,000 hours archer maine you’re amended disconnected trying to larn however to knit oregon something.
