I can't believe the devs forgot about this... | Huge Skip on the Black Cat Heist

Each time you play the Black Cat heist, a random vault code is generated ranging from 0000 to 9999, so a total of 10,000 possible codes. In the one run where the random code generated as 0666, a crazy discovery was made that could potentially shorten every run in the future by around 10%... Note that when playing solo, the time saved increases by ~6.35s, although that is beyond the scope of this video.

This video explains how the skip was discovered, how to use it in the most optimal way, the difference to expect in completion times, and also some new strategies discovered by Agent and Bobbey, that can lower the completion time even more.

Special thanks to Rel, Dom, Difar, and Fitty, for their help in hunting the perfect 2m05s run! Thanks also to Left and zylla, for their pro runs that repeatedly achieved 2m06s completions! And of course also Fun, Dyrax, and Twits, for their help in optimizing the basic strategies, and pushing the HCat time closer towards 1m50s...
