@TheCinephile @polluxik What weapons are you doing the game with? My routing has the sniper rifle Probably the TAC shotgun. The m1911 And the grenade launcher The grenade launcher with flash rounds makes getting past a lot of enemies very easy, especially in the factory. Is there any major time saves you've seen?
Why the TAC? Is it more reliable for knocking enemies down/staggering them than the M97? I've noticed it's considerably less reliable for one-shotting enemies compared to the M97, but then again I try to avoid being in grab range of most enemies. Maybe the TAC does better when you're stabbing them with it? The 1911 seems like the obvious choice since it does considerably more damage than the stock LAMI and you probably won't be farming a ton of Lei to upgrade the LAMI in a speedrun.
1:41h with stake NG+. But some enemy models seem to be in the way pretty hard. guess I have to use flashbangs more often. Im so excited for both NG and NG+ and the first major sequence brakes!
moletom_vermelho , no run can be submit until the 28th may
@PizzaSHARK The TAC shotgun shoots faster and isn't really out of the way, I think they're both really interchangeable in the run, but you don't really use the shotgun other than on bosses, so fire rate is really important, I personally don't use it on regular enemies, you should use the m1911 to stagger them and run past. I use the grenade launcher and flash rounds in the factory because it staggers the soldat guys without having to shoot them with bullets.
@KilluaX The stake and those items will most likely not be allowed for NG because they're bought in the after market, idk what the true rules of the NG category are yet but I'm pretty sure the only weapons that will be allowed are the LEMI, M1911, VZ61, M97, TAC, S12, SNIPER RIFLE, GM79, & WOLFSBANE I do believe everything else will be against the rules because they're not true NG because they have to be unlocked I'm the aftermarket
Got a 2:16 on NG, hopefully gonna get it down under like 1:55 to keep competitive with the NG+ category
@Brendan5155 I am using weapons you mentioned... when I go for m1911, I am selling handgun and shotgun... then I pickup m1911 and go to beneviento... I guess it is right.. I don't know the run so much.. So I could be wrong. but I am 100% sure i am using that weapons what you have said. And not found any timesave.
I'm really curious to know the difficulty you are playing. Is anyone running Hardcore and VoS or just Casual and Standard?
@TheCinephile I am running casual for now but I want to switch to standard, maybe to VoS.
Oh, nice @polluxik
All my runs so far are in casual as well, maybe I'll try one on hardcore just to take notes on all the ammo and Lei spots.
@polluxik I wouldn't move to standard they most likely won't have separate categories because the routes aren't different enough, the only one that will probably have another category is either hard-core and/or VoS
Basically I'll grab the sniper rifle because it's really hard hitting, and then I buy a bigger case when I sell the LEMI, then get the M1911, then I'll sell the M97 before I go into the Beneviento path. Get the grenade launcher before moreau. And go through the game with those weapons
