Yes, this happened. New game Crackdown can be beaten this fast.

I won't go into a huge amount of detail on how this run is so fast because it'll be a wall of text, but here's the rundown:
-Before running, make a new Xbox Gamertag so to get further experience from the in-game achievements (including Agility).
-Get 1* - and even more importantly - 2* Agility ASAP. Which I did: at Sanchez and Gryzunova respectively.
--On a related note: trying to get the Airtime Assassin achievement so less orbs need to be collected is going to become mandatory while leaving Gonzalez's area.
-Get a shotgun immediately for quick kills, and build towards a rocket-shotgun-limpet charge build ASAP.
-The Supercar is your best friend while you lack Supply Points for the majority of the run.
-Supply Points are mainly used for storing items, but for a little teleporting by the end of the run.
-Levelling Strength (health) takes too long, it's mainly Explosives for quick kills and Driving for quicker travel. Firearms skill levelling up isn't too relevant but still slightly helpful.
-The Double Jump glitch is relevant in two places:
--Oakley: Without doing this at less than 3* Agility, he is near-impossible due to randomness, low health, and high amounts of gunfire (stacking a vending machine also works, but isn't reliable and finicky and slower).
--Wang: Allows skipping into the tower using three Double Jumps, but the last two will kill you if you miss them.

Los Muertos was a little mediocre - particularly the riot (but this is normal of NG Any% riots) - early Volk made up a lot of time (although I fell down like a legend trying to leave Mikhailov's area), as well as Romanova's AI somewhat behaving for once (she is one of the worst parts of the run for that). Shai-Gen was like Volk: it had its ups and downs but was ultimately still pretty good, even had a gold riot to finish.

This time was worked down from my first attempt of 2:38:09, where I didn't know what I was doing (40:37 is my 18th PB). While my sum of best is 38:45 and should still drop a fair bit more (making sub-40 completely viable), I'm happy to move onto dropping NG+ Any% as well as getting back to 'Destroy All Humans!' for now, especially after the category shafting me so hard so many times.

Fun fact: I was willing to settle for a mid/low-42 to upload until this time dropped out of nowhere.
