Right now speedrunning is kinda pointless,,, with most categories being kinda unbeatable, rng based, laggy and hard. So we might as well add more custom categories like a custom bingo where we have to get 5 stuff from the table in a row, or some sections like apu boss only. I can't really think of anything else, I barely speedrun, and my creativity isn't the best, but right now, only full level runs, are starting to get boring and there aren't many other strategies, so you gotta stick to the same one
While category extensions would be fun, I can barely think of anything within this game's scope. Hammer runs are already done basically as it is meta along with taser, full clears boil down to just fast XP runs I guess? There is now a ranking system, but I'm not sure how strict it is with lower difficulties, i.e. if the multiplier actually affects it.
The secondary objectives are random and impossible to do consistently for possible categories, so I suspect those boards if added would just be a wasteland
the game is incredibly rng reliant, so I do feel 100%ing a level is something people may look forward to as it can lessen on the spawn factor for decovenant, but for dawnbreaker the 50/50 chance still is an issue and I can possibly see the first checkpoint being annoying with like hoping both doors aren't blocked off.
I was thinking something more outside the box, which doesn't have to be from the game like secondary objectives/he ranking system
I mostly thought of a bingo, a 5x5 board with challenges, you complete one, you check it, of you check 5 in a row you win. I have seen that in certain other games and it seems really fun, lots of possibilities, mechanics to use, etc.
I guess more categories like hammer only, and literally anything else would also be fine, right now it's basically gambling....
